Lifestyle Nigeria:A Story of Heroes and Epics by Dr. Wiebe Boer-5

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.
Joseph Dankaro – Department of Sociology, University of Abuja In this
deeply researched, but highly readable book, Dr. Boer has brought his
well-honed skill as a professional historian to the service of

deeply rooted the game of football is in Nigerian cultural heritage.

employ our passion for football...
