in the history of our country. Bolaji Abdullahi – Forrmer Minister of
Sports & Youth Development, Federal
Republic of Nigeria As both a fiercely passionate Nigerian and an avid
football fan, I had never connected these two elements but reading
this book I developed a deeper understanding of my history, and a
clearer vision of how we can continue to grow together. Jude 'MI'
Abaga – CEO, Chocolate City Music Wiebe Boer has by this work, The
Story of Heroes and Epics: The History of Football in Nigeria, made a
tremendous contribution to the sport of soccer, its documentation and
its import on the national history of Nigeria. This book will have an
impact, not only as a resource material for the evolution of the sport
and
hopefully instigating research into other sports, but it also is a
cursory study in the still evolving nation, Nigeria. Donald Duke,
former Executive Governor of Cross River State.Source:Proshareng

Olakunle Kasumu – Presenter / Co-Producer, the Channels Book Club TV Show I appreciate how Dr. Boer, my primary school classmate, has finally brought to light the story of my father, John Dankaro, and Nigeria's other early football stars and the roles they played in unifying and bringing glory to the nation. This book is a must read, not just for fans of Nigerian football, but fans of Nigeria itself.

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.
