As we draw close to soccer biggest event in the world,
Brazil 2014, lovers of the round leather game will use the opportunity to visit
the famous samba town. Although many believe soccer originated from Brazil and
the world cup is going back home but on the contrary It is said that early
growth of the modern soccer started in England. Some amusing facts even mention
that the first ball used was the head of some Danish brigand. It is said that
during medieval times, the old form of soccer used to allow many ill practices
like kicking, punching, biting and gouging. The main aim was to carry the ball
to a target spot. People grew so fond of the game that they would throng the
field all day long. Sometimes the competition grew fierce and masses got so
wild that there were frequent incidents of violence during the game. It is also
said that soldiers admired the game so much that they missed archery practice
to watch it.
As a country, Nigerian debut appearance was in USA 1994 when
they impressed with wins against Bulgaria and Greece, before losing narrowly to
perennial World Cup opponents, Argentina, on
their way to claiming leadership of their group.
Well, this is not about the super eagles but the tourism
potentials of hosting such an event. There are two sides to everything; in this
case I want to deviate from the main reason of this world event by drawing your
attention to the request of the Nigerian supporters club. They (Nigerian supporters
club) requested for 62million condoms…hmmmm. Don’t get twisted, that is the
most ideal thing to do as regards the host country, those who are opportune to
be in Brazil will know they are a sex loving country.
A little mathematics will be required to break this down. Okay
wait; 5000 supporters’ benchmark at any given appearance as confirmed by Mr.
Ladipo. That will be 12,400/supporter. Awesome!
Nothing personal, just wanted you to know. Catch you later.
