After trying for years, a woman and her husband finally conceived. However, celebrations were short-lived when the father-to-be decided to leave his very pregnant wife nearly 8 months into the pregnancy. Weeks later, she couldn’t believe what she discovered when she opened the oven in her kitchen.

Amanda and her husband had spent three years trying to get pregnant, but sadly, they faced one failure after another. Then, finally, the couple managed to conceive and all seemed perfect in Amanda’s world. They purchased their first home, completed renovating it, and had settled in when things took a sudden and unexpected turn. Amanda’s husband left, leaving his very pregnant wife to fend for herself…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Needless to say, Amanda was blindsided by her husband’s announcement that he was leaving her when she was nearing 8 months pregnant with their first child. Sadly, he followed through on his promise and disappeared, leaving Amanda scrambling to pay the bills on her own, which proved quite challenging.

Her friend, Anna, saw the expectant mom’s troubles and wanted nothing more than to help Amanda face the challenges created by her new, unexpected situation. Hoping to get a very pregnant Amanda the help she desperately needed, Anna wrote a letter to KIIS 1065, attempting to get the expectant mom an appearance on the station’s “give back” segment, and unbeknownst to Amanda, it worked!

After hearing Amanda’s story, the hosts invited her on their show, but, initially, they didn’t let her know that it was part of their “give back” segment. Instead, Amanda, who was 36 weeks pregnant at the time, thought she was there to share her experience until the show began and the truth was revealed.

Having spent two years and all of their money renovating their home, Amanda thought she and her husband would finally have a good year, but that simply wasn’t going to be the case since her husband had left. “It’s been about five weeks since it happened,” Amanda told the show’s listeners. “And, the biggest thing is just the shock, I guess because it wasn’t really what we planned, or what I planned,” she admitted.

In hopes of keeping the house and raising her child there, Amanda had tried to explore her options, but the finances remained an area of stress and concern. Thankfully, that was all about to change as the host admitted that she too wanted to see Amanda have and raise her baby in the home without having to worry about the financial side of things.

After Amanda finished sharing her story, the hostess asked the mom-to-be to look at the screen set up behind her. Amanda did as requested and watched as her house appeared on the screen. The hostess told her that they’d be taking a virtual tour of the house, but very quickly, Amanda realized something more was going on. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Much to her surprise, Amanda spotted a vacuum cleaner, sponsored by Scrubb Online Cleaning Service, just inside the front door. The host explained that the cleaning service would be cleaning Amanda’s house for the next six months so the new mom wouldn’t have to worry about such chores while tending to a newborn on her own.

Next, the video camera made its way to the kitchen, where it revealed a fridge stocked with Eat Fit Foods, which had agreed to deliver fresh meals daily for three months, giving Amanda yet one less thing to worry about. In addition to the groceries, Amanda’s kitchen was loaded with $4,000 of baby gear that had been stacked on the table.

The haul included a stroller, car seat, change table, and baby monitor, but that wasn’t all. What’s more, Baby Village had thrown in a $1000 voucher for baby photography too, but even that wasn’t the end of the blessings a pregnant Amanda was about to receive. As she sat in stunned disbelief with tears in her eyes, the host then suggested they check the oven.

So, the camera panned towards the appliance, which had a towel hanging over the handle. The oven door was then opened to reveal what was inside. Amanda nearly fell off her chair when she laid eyes on a wad of cash, bundled together in the bottom of the oven, as the host explained that Middlesex Academy Learning Centre had donated $10,000 to help Amanda pay her mortgage.

“I can’t tell you how much this means to me,” Amanda said, crying uncontrollably as her friend, Anna, sat beside her, showing just as much excitement and gratitude for the “give back” as the expectant mother. “This means I don’t have to move!”

Amanda exclaimed as sobs rocked her pregnant body, making it difficult for her to even get the words out. Thanks to many companies willing to come together to give back, Amanda could look towards the future with excitement, just as a pregnant mother should.

Published

By

Jamaican artist, Donovan Nelson’s illustration paying tribute to the Igbo Landing Event.

Countless accounts of terrifying and dehumanizing events that happened during the slave trade era have been passed down from generations to generations; accounts of irrational cruelty, starvation, resistance, mass killings and suicide. The story of the Igbo landing is another tear-evoking account of resistance to slavery by the Igbo slaves from present-day Nigeria off U.S. coast in 1803…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>> READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

The Truth About the India Vs. Nigeria 99-1 Match

Published

on

By

In one way or the other, almost every Nigerian has heard of the mythical match between India Vs. Nigeria that ended with 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…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

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.
India Vs Nigeria 99-1 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 at OldNaija.

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 and you can read it here. 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. AMEN!

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.

Why was India Banned by FIFA?

India was never banned by FIFA. It was India that withdrew from the tournament themselves. Here is how it happened.

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.

Then something happened. You see, when determining the make-up of the 1950 World Cup, FIFA determined that obviously the two defending finalists, Brazil and Italy, would be guaranteed slots. That left fourteen slots that needed to be filled.

FIFA decided that seven of those slots would come from Europe, six would come from the Americas and one would come from Asia.

The problem was that of the four Asian teams that were invited to the World Cup, three of them (the Philippines, Indonesia and Burma) withdrew from the tournament before the qualification round.

Therefore, India earned an automatic slot within the World Cup. It would be India’s first time appearing in the World Cup but India, too, withdrew from the tournament because FIFA would not allow them to compete barefoot.
