Lifestyle Nigeria:A Story of Heroes and Epics by Dr. Wiebe Boer-3

Written by Fairchick Date
In this book, Dr. Boer has gone to the lengths and breadths of Nigeria
to reveal the story of how football became so important to us as a
nation. Though introduced by foreigners, football quickly became
indigenised and was an important element for anti- colonial protest,
the development of a Nigerian national identity, and nation building.
Amaju Melvin Pinnick, President, Nigeria Football Federation For a
country where heroes are hardly celebrated and epic football is almost
forgotten, this book takes the reader on an enthralling historical
excursion. Very well researched and most lucidly presented, it is a
must- have for everyone in the local game. Indeed, finally, here is a
keepsake for those who have yearned for an enchanting reservoir of
facts on Nigeria's football history from the turn of the century to
1960. Dr. Larry Izamoje – Chairman/CEO, Sports Radio 88.9 Brila FM,

the pre-Independence history of Nigerian football.Source:Proshareng
