Thank you Peter Rufai. An incredible talent with early flaws who made a career learning, improving and seeking new challenges.

Rest in peace Dodo Mayana. A colossal Nigerian that made you stand tall and proud! We will not see his like again.

Ageing.

This is huge blow to the Nigerian football family no matter how you look at it. We’ve now lost about 30% of the 94 team, all of whom died young. Rufai, Keshi, Yekini, Okafor,Agbonibare, Oliha. I know death is inevitable but having this number of pro athletes die before 60yrs is concerning. Gentle giant Uche is alive and well but he has changed citizenship and wants nothing to do with us. Where is Chidi Nwanu? Someone described Oliseh as frail but you can imagine what’s going on in his head having to bury another teammate.
There’s something wrong with our brand and we need to correct it. Everyone is saying RIP to Rufai but what happened to him? Did he get adequate treatment? What could have killed Rufai? We need help.

Absolutely captivating. He put in the work, understudied those ahead and earned his spot. Nowadays, a Nom2 goalie at Remo who hardly gets any action is a SE goalie. What a disgrace! Rip and thanks for the memories.

RIP Rufai. I still didn't get the Dodo part. Is that a Hausa word or something?EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Sun Jul 06, 2025 3:26 amAbsolutely captivating.

This is what may be wrong with the current crop of players, because it appears the previous sets started camping with the senior players at an earlier age before graduating to the senior team. Imagine the wealth of knowledge he would/could have passed on to the younger/current players if he had been part of the coaching staff. That's a lot of history lost there.EMIR KONGI JAFFI JOFFA wrote: ↑Sun Jul 06, 2025 3:26 amAbsolutely captivating. He put in the work, understudied those ahead and earned his spot.
