Where were you when...

Arise, O Compatriots 

Nigeria score three goals 

Against Bulgaria 

Rashidi score first goal 

Amokachi the second goal 

Amunike the third 

Rashidi enter net 

and Westerhof was haaappy 

Shouting Nigeria! 

(and Westerhof was happy 

singing the anthem.)  

June 21, 1994 * Nigeria 3-0 Bulgaria 

World Cup 1994 

Me, I was in boarding school in Lagos and I remember how excited my classmates were, painting little flags on their cheeks, flexing for group photographs, finding ways to watch the (sometimes overnight) matches, and then during the daytime avidly and excitedly remixing gist, composing songs, and reenacting dance moves and celebrations.  

I posted this video especially for the pure joy in the celebrations of each of the goals.  Just.  Pure.  Exhilaration.  So beautiful.  

Was that not the same year of Bebeto, Romario, and so on?  My crush was on Finidi George, I guess it was the legs lol.  If you remember this era, wow, you are not a baby anymore o, oya sip something, drop a comment for posterity's sake.

I don't know why, everybody loves Nigeria shaaa!  We're not in the men's FIFA World Cup this year but we will always be most-beloved players of this most beautiful game, and that's facts.
