Facts about Football

Wikipedia the free online encyclopedia is clearly erred in its information on the birthplace of St. Augustine Jay-Jay Okocha, Nigerian footballer revered by his display of skills useful in the midfield department of the game. The Wikipedia project, which maintains and continues to maintain that Okocha one of the best players Africa is "Enugu is not only a mistake but an attempt to mislead the public who have relied heavily on the popular site for helpful information.

Augustine Azuka Okocha was actually born in Enugu State, but most likely the Delta State is his State of origin and for this reason that the government organized a withdrawal state () tribute match for former captain midfielder Stadium Warri, Delta State. The stadium where the match was played was flooded because it was raining constantly, much to the chagrin of the organizers, the state government has decided to revise the ground and put a synthetic surface.

The meeting proved that World XI and the Super Eagles was largely boycotted by the Nigeria Football Association may be due to the feeling that were left out by organizers the exhibition match. John Fashanu, El-Hadji Doufer, Daniel Amokachi and Aloy Agu were among those that appear in the game.

Information Wikipedia Enugu improperly assumes as Okocha hometown is even more wrong when he falsely claimed that "In 1990, he joined his club, Rangers of Enugu, Nigeria Central ", which was incorporated in 1990, Enugu Rangers is no doubt that Enugu Rangers is their" club "native" is erroneous and must be corrected for the sake of posterity. Let it be known and including the city of Austin Okocha is one of the Igbo-speaking city of "Ogwashi-Uku" in Aniocha South local government area of Delta state.

Note that Okocha is the cousin of former Finance Minister of Nigeria, Prof. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and her father is Dr. Alex Okocha, a worker railways, which would later be transferred to Enugu, where he was born dribbler teacher and artist. Prof. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is the daughter of Professor Chukwuka Okonjo, the traditional rule of Ogwashi-Uku, whose late mother, Mrs. Dora Mgbodi also bore the name "Okocha" (The Guardian, Sunday, August 3rd, 2008) Okocha of his father could not have taken the "Citizenship" in Enugu State, because I have no knowledge of these laws in Nigeria.

Obi of Ogwashi-Uku, SAR (D) Chukwuka Okonjo announced that the local stadium Ogwashi-Uku is the name of Jay-Jay Okocha after their completion. The Obi has spoken and he did not retract his words.

In June 2008, Hull City manager Phil Brown has announced that the city of Hull, it would be Jay-Jay The new club has decided not to take the additional option of another year in the contract Nigerian veteran player following the expiration of his contract, which also expired at the end of this season.

In the search said:

"The legacy that Jay-Jay Okocha to leave Hull City is a success. He will remember his smile, his pure ability as a footballer and for increase the aspirations of a club, "Brown said" the decision to release former World Cup stars were taken from an economic standpoint Sports, sense of their salary to sign a new potential "(complete, 6 June 2008)

Okocha played just 11 games for Hull City and not 18 as errornously also held in the information provided by Wikipedia. (See also the complete edition of sports and for more information)

This information is necessary for future reference and because of the fact that the former Super Eagles captain is a former Nigerian international who has written extensively about not being compared with their personal achievements and contributions in development of football in Nigeria. Moreover, the context Okocha or image should not be a maze of contradictions to the fans whether now or the time to come.
