Why is the WorldWar II more famous compared to WorldWar I?

The most obvious difference was the death toll.

World War I shocked the world. About 16,000,000 people died.

They called it “The Great War”. Some referred to it as “the war to end all wars.”

It was the first major conflict where more deaths were caused by soldiers killing each other than by disease.

It was scary. New technology meant people could kill each other with machine guns, chemicals, airplanes, submarines, and tanks.

But World War II was on a whole other level.

Around 80,000,000 people died in WWII.

Five times as much as WWI.

There was genocide, disease, mass starvation, and nuclear bombs.

Thomas Fuller was an African man who was sold into slavery in 1724 at the age of 14. He became famous for his amazing ability to solve difficult math problems in his head, earning him the nickname the "Virginia Calculator."

One day, someone asked him how many seconds there were in a year and a half. After thinking for only two minutes, he quickly answered, "47,304,000." Then, he was asked how many seconds a man had lived if he was 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours old. Fuller answered in just a minute and a half, saying, "2,210,500,800."

Another man, who was working the problem out on paper, said that Fuller’s answer was wrong and that it was actually much smaller. Fuller quickly responded, "Top, massa, you forget de leap year." Once they added in the leap year, the numbers matched exactly.

This is how one of the first vi*****rs in history was created. A device that is still used today, and that obviously took on a purely s*xual nuance.

It is interesting to see how the vi****or emerged from an apparent illness and how the treatment quickly became popular.

In ancient times, women who suffered from anxiety, depression, and sudden mood swings were sent to the doctor. After an "examination", it was decided that they suffered from "female hysteria".

To help fight this disease, a series of treatments were created, including "pelvic massage", with the aim of achieving what at the time was called "pelvic paroxysm", that is, an or**sm.

Soon the treatment became popular, and so many women went to the doctor for the treatment that they had to create a special device.

The artifact emitted rhythmic vibrations and massages and, at first, wealthy women or women of good families kept them in their homes in case any "outbreak of hysteria" appeared.

The Truth About the 🇳🇬 Vs India 🇮🇳 99-1 football Match they told us while growing up 😊

Did it really happen?

Open and read

In one way or the other, almost every Nigerian has heard of the mythical match between India Vs Nigeria that ended 99 goals to 1 with India being victorious.

Before the advent of the internet, this story successfully thrived among Nigerians but with the emergence of the internet and easy access to social media, the truth behind the India Vs Nigeria 99-1 match was revealed.

Though there are different accounts of the match, but they all have the following in common:

1.That the match ended with India scoring 99 goals and Nigeria scoring just one goal.

2. That Nigerians were unable to kick the ball because the football kept turning to a lion which scared them away.

3. That Indians later agreed that if Nigeria could score one goal, they would concede defeat.

4. That Samuel Okwaraji scored the winning goal and lost his life in the process because the ball turned into stone as he was about to kick it.

5. That FIFA banned India from soccer because they used juju (black magic) in that match.

Why did people believe the India Vs Nigeria 99-1 match story?

Even with the absence of the internet back then, this kind of claims should be immediately recognized as lies, the kind of lies they call “big fat lies”.

But most people like to acknowledge this story as true with the fact that no one has ever seen India play in an International Football Match. Since no one actually saw India participate in most international soccer games, this gave a little credence to the story.

Another reason this lie thrived for long was that credible information was not easily accessible in Nigeria unlike now that even a 4-year-old child can debunk false claims within minutes with the help of Google.

This Nigeria Vs India match story would have been fabricated by one community elder to children during an evening gathering; that’s our take What Actually Happened!

On the 12th of August 1989, Nigeria lost one of her best footballers, Sam Okwaraji who died during a football match. We wrote about how he died on the pitch

Sam Okwaraji was the player rumoured to have lost his life in that game when in truth he died during a FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Angola in the 77th minute. He collapsed and died of cognitive heart failure. May his soul rest in peace.

So, that is the only truthful thing about the India Vs Nigeria 99-1 match story, the fact that a Nigerian player died during a football match. That is what these lies was fabricated around.

The match was not against India, Nigeria did not lose the match and as you must have guessed, and there were no lions or ball turning into a stone.

Nevertheless, one cannot deny that this kind of story made one’s childhood as a Nigerian.

India was never banned by FIFA. It was India that withdrew from the tournament themselves because Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) made it clear to India that they would not be allowed to play in the 1950 FIFA World Cup without footwear.
