Indeed Globally There is a lot at stake when the Super Eagles Face Portugal in Lisbon today including a Christian plant in Abuja who posed in an Abaya in a car posted it on Facebook and then erased it a few days later to prove what? https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2019-09-22/saudi-women-bucking-tradition-forgo-abaya

It is a mind-boggling puzzle that started in 1989 with the Junior World Cup in Saudi Arabia and that turned deadly with the death of my Aunty, a 9/11 victim at a New York Hospital in 2007. She died two days after my ex visited from Sepsis Shock and Internal bleeding. Was she probed by a relative who was supposed to be there to pray for her?

Grandma’s hypothetical Question for Debra — Did The CIA Interview You After 9/11? And Why Should a 9/11 Victim Be Their Focus After the Death of A Family Member in 1997?

Debra says I Don’t remember! America/California what does she remember? Is Amnesia or could it be Something else. Which other female is hiding under cover of Amnesia? For the record one of the reasons I am being harassed is because of my exceptional memory or what they call AI.

And is this their cover for a range of serious religious, ethical and medical issues from at home DNA alchemy; violation of a pre-colonoscopy enema procedure, blasphemy and sodomy. Remember in all of these cases I am not the one; faxing pictures and data after the fact and I am not the one with the bug device or hazardous sex tool.

For the record Mom was a Deaconess in the Methodist Church; Grandfather worked with Missionaries from Scotland to establish the Qua Iboe Church (Under Church of England in southern Nigeria, and my Uncle Prelate Doctor Sunday Mbang was leader of the Methodist Church and Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as well as President of the World Methodist Council of Churches. Of course we co-exist and love all human beings, but I do not recall any Moslem in my family or any bad link to any Middle East Nation. The only nation I have visited in that region is the UAE for a vacation with my late brother-in-law who worked as a pediatric radiologist in Dubai and Qatar before being hired by the University of Texas, Houston.

Why The World Needs to Know That I Was Not In Saudi Arabia in 1989, about the Miracle of Damman And An Inexplicable Criminal Hex Scheme Using Distorted Data from 1989 and 1991 For A Sex Propaganda

This review of the 1989 Junior World Cup In Saudi Arabia Was Originally titled “They’re Jolly Good Fellows,” and was first published in the March 13, 1989 edition of Newswatch. The sub-title for this report was “Flying Eagles of Nigeria Misses the Cup but Wins the Heart of the World.” I covered the competition from Lagos based on wire reports and watching the game on TV. Anietie Usen, a happily married grandfather, and a Director with the Niger Delta Development Commission assisted with this report. I and an ex reviewed this article as we watched the World Cup last summer, an opportunity which also provided us to set the record straight about cars lies in Richmond and Fairfield and being in the midst of the wrong crowd. Archived copies of Newswatch Magazine are available at the National Library in Lagos. For the record I had relatives working in Saudi hospitals during the 1989 World cup, including the mother of my late cousin Sadie Ette, a 9/11 victim. My Aunty Ekaette Ette is shown here with my ex Debra. The other picture in Lagos with Dr. Raphael James at the CRIMMD FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY and MUSEUM in Lagos. Dr. James was once an archivist at Newswatch Magazine, and support staff for Newswatch Librarian Nyakknno Osso, who later became the Presidential Librarian for Nigeria’s former leader General Olusegun Obasanjo. We think someone covertly spent time researching my archived articles to develop several scenarios for this unbelievable scheme. The other picture shows the current FIFA President with the Russian leader as well as Nigerian journalists with Joao De Havelange, the late FIFA President from Brazil.

On the day the Flying Eagles met the Russians in the quarter-final of the FIFA/Coca Cola Cup in Saudi Arabia, President Ibrahim Babangida was on his way home from the burial of Japan’s Emperor Hirohito. But Babangida could not wait for his presidential jet to touch down in Lagos before knowing the result of the crucial encounter. The nation’s number one citizen was as worried as every other Nigerian over the fate of the Eagles in the competition.

Midway into the seven and a half hours flight from Tokyo to Bangkok in Thailand, where there was a brief stop, the president had put a call through to Lagos to find out how “My Flying Eagles” fared in the match. And the reply that came from Lagos sounded unbelievable: The Flying Eagles had risen from the ashes of an imminent defeat to nullify the 4–0 lead of the Russians, and eventually stunned the world with a penalty shoot-out victory. The president was so elated by the Eagles’ progress that he declared the day of the final a public holiday nation-wide.

In the beginning the Eagles had arrived Riyadh as underdogs. And in the estimation of bookmakers, they were expected to at least fare better than their Chile ’87 predecessors, but not remain in contention beyond the first round matches. Even the Nigerian Football Association, NFA, did not make provisions for funds that would sustain the team after the Group A matches in Riyadh. As it were, only the boys, their handlers and very few Nigerians really believed in the team’s ability to reach the final stage of the competition.

This infectious cynicism was in spite of the fact that Olatunde Disu, the Flying Eagles coach, had promised in his characteristic American drawl that “look men, I am not going to Riyadh to mess myself or the nation up. I have been to this competition twice, and I have learnt a lot from these outings, so I have no reason for failing this time around.” Disu did not have the crystal-ball clairvoyance of Godspower Oyewole nor the knack of Michele de Nostradamus for accurate predictions. But he was on the Nigerian bench with Paul Hamilton when the Eagles beat Russia to the bronze in the 1985 edition of the competition. So he was when Udemezue sat glum-faced through the team’s dismal outings against Brazil, Canada and Italy in Chile ’87. His quiet optimism was not for nothing.

Still the idea that Disu would be overwhelmed by the enormity of molding the team into a formidable squad persisted. The NFA had made moves to hire Adegboye Onigbinde, and Janusz Kowalik, the Dutch Coach of Enugu Rangers, to be the coach of the team. But commonsense prevailed and Disu and his assistant Kelechi Emeteole, were eventually allowed to steer the team through the final stages of the competition.

Against Saudi Arabia in the opening match on February 16, the Eagles were tipped to outlast the host. An early gift of a goal was just a temporary respite for the hosts before the Nigerians raised the tempo of their game in the second half, scoring two goals by Mutiu Adepoju and Chris Ohenhen, that was a foretaste of what was to come. The 1–0 loss to Carlos Queiroz Portugal in the next match was occasioned by red cards to Nduka Ugbade and Mike Onyemachara that left enough room in the Nigerian defense for the Portuguese to capitalize on. ( Interestingly Carlos now coaches Iran who will face The USMNT in Qatar) At this stage, Nigeria required only one point from its next game to move into the quarter final. And it took some hard fighting and another expulsion of Tunde Charity, to achieve. The Czechs who after a loss to Portugal and win over Saudi Arabia, required a win to move on, drew first blood through Rodoslov Latal’s goal in the 14th minute. But the advantage lasted until midway into the second half when Christopher Nwosu capped his defence-splitting run with a goal that remains the toast of the tournament.

Nwosu’s goal provided Nigeria a foothold in the quarter-final where they were paired against an awe-inspiring Russian side that was tipped to reach the finals. Two first half goals by Kiriakov Serguei and Tedev Backhua and another two within the first-quarter of resumption placed the game beyond redemption for the Eagles. It was not to be as the Nigerian play, steeped in resourcefulness and resilience, rallied back to cancel the 4–0 deficit through goals from Ohenhen (2 goals) Samuel Elijah and Nduka Ugbade, who fitted smugly into his new striking role. The stalemated game was extended into extra-time and that did not produce any resolution. And for the third time in under four years, penalty kicks had to be employed to decide who was better between the Russians and the Nigerians. As it was in 1985 when Christian Obi’s brace effort in goal provided the platform for Nigeria’s victory over Russia, Emeka Amadi’s perfect lunge to stop the Russian’s third penalty kick, was the tonic for another Nigerian victory over the “Red Orchestra” team of the Soviets.

This heart-warming feat set the Nigerians on a collision course with the USA, another superpower, regarded as upstarts in the game of soccer. But the American team, handled by Bob Bassler and loaded with talented players like Mike Burns, Steve Snow, Chris Brose and Kasey Keller, showed against Nigeria in the semi-final that it was a team to watch out for in the future. Keller, who was in the American squad to Chile (Yes I saw Keller play in the Junior World Cup in Chile) almost frustrated the Nigerian attack with spritely saves that seemed unbelievable. But Adepoju’s precise finishing in the third minute of extra-time effectively doused the fighting spirit of the Americans and earned Nigeria its first ticket to the final of the Under-21 World Cup which began in Tunisia in 1977. Nigeria’s best effort before that had been a third-place finish in 1985.

Two years later, the Flying Eagles, replete with gifted players like Etim Esin, Adeolu Adekola and John Okon Effa and highly rated , too, flopped woefully in the Junior World Cup hosted by Chile. The Yugoslav team who were not given a chance at the beginning surprised Chile 4–2 in the opening match, beat the tournament’s prohibitive favorite, Brazil 1–0 in a quarter-final game and overwhelmed West Germany in the final, in spite of its many injured players and a red card that sidelined Robert Prosinecki, Yugoslvia’s skipper and playmaker in the final. The fate of the Yugoslavs in 1987 bears a striking similarity with the fortunes of Nigeria in the just concluded tournament in Saudi Arabia.

Brazil and the USSR who had been tipped to play the final of the championship were shoved out of the competition by less fancied opponents; the Russians by Nigeria and the Brazilians by the Portuguese whose strongest credential before Saudi ’89 was a single appearance in 1981 since the tournament’s inception in 1977. Nigeria has made four consecutive appearances in 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1989.

Brazil’s 1–0 loss to Portugal in the semi-final marked the second time in a row that the world’s foremost soccer playing nation would fail to reach the final of the competition it had previously won in 1983 and 1985. Robert Prosinecki’s free kick goal had put paid to the dreams of the South American’s in Chile and Gilson Nunes, then Brazilian Coach, out of favor with his countrymen. Nunes’ successor Rene Simoes fared better by plotting his way through to the semi-final, but that is no guarantee that he will receive a carnival-like welcome from his country men who are in dire need of a world soccer championship win to prove that Samba-soccer is not on the decline.

Saudi ’89 was not only remarkable for its upset wins, but also for its high turnover of goals and cards. Nigerian players alone bagged three reds and eleven yellow cards which automatically edged the Flying Eagles out of contention for the fair play trophy award. Norwegian referee Egel Nervik awarded two questionable ones to Ugbade and Mike Onyemachara in the game against the Czechs. The spate of cards coupled with injuries tasked Disu’s resourcefulness and the strength of the Nigerian bench, a great deal.

To reach the final of the competition in Saudi Arabia, the Flying Eagles had worked its way through the African zone qualifying match against Lesotho in Maseru which it won 2–1 barely two hours after it arrived in Maseru. And to think that the team was almost pulled out of the competition because of inherent danger involved in playing in Lesotho, a country completely encircled by South Africa.

The performance of the Flying Eagles in Saudi ’89 will make the task of the Golden Eaglets in the upcoming Under-16 World Cup more daunting, since the Nigerian team will become the team to beat in the tournament. The team’s handler Sebastian Brodericks-Imasuen, who led the under-16 team to a first-time win of the competition in 1985 (my first year at Newswatch, I worked there from 85 to 89 when I emigrated to the US), and who was in Saudi Arabia is aware of the challenges before his youthful and promising side. Before Saudi ’89, Disu had said: “Going to Saudi Arabia as the top soccer nation in Africa is my present ambition, but winning the World Cup is my biggest dream.” His biggest dream has now become reality, and there is no doubt that Brodericks-Imasuen is thinking along the same lines.

The biggest puzzle is from 2007. What happened in a New York hospital to Aunty Ekaette who retired from Abha General Hospital Saudi Arabia. The federal government knows.

JAY LENO

WATCH: Doctor gives update on Jay Leno’s treatment, expects ‘full recovery’

Comedian Jay Leno’s road to recovery for injuries he suffered in a car fire will be longer than he anticipated, according to doctors.

“He did well with that surgery,” Dr. Peter Grossman said at a news conference Wednesday. “He is in good spirits today.”

On Saturday, Leno, 72, was underneath one of his vehicles he was working on when the fire began. He had “fairly significant” burns to his face, hands, and chest, Grossman said.

“I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am OK. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet,” Leno told Variety.

However, the former Tonight Show host will undergo more surgeries over the next few days, according to Grossman. Leno’s injuries included deep second-degree burns and possibly third-degree burns, as the injuries are still developing.

“Our hope is that when everything is all said and done, he will do well. But burn injuries are progressive and dynamic, and it’s hard to predict ultimately what the final outcome will be at this stage in the game,” Grossman said.

Unconfirmed sources say a spokesman for Leno denied that there was a Kia Sorento in his car collections that a female underwear was planted in and may have been exchanged with a gang that specializes in home invasions. Interestingly between 2012 and 2014 ( about the time of my Colonoscopy https://twitter.com/BenjaminEdokpa1/status/1592357217386516481?s=20&t=Z_g5PfRIWn2h-9dJNp8fwQ ) they were at least two evidence of break ins at our Vacaville home. It seems they assaulted a Pet left home alone in the garage while we vacationed in Sonoma. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/weird-news/former-israeli-space-security-chief-says-extraterrestrials-exist-trump-knows-n1250333 On another occasion the ex said she found a female underwear in my Kia Sorento. Of course I had no clue. She is the only woman I slept with in America between 1992 when we married through our divorce in 2019.

Big deal for Cryptography. The reason why Edward Snowden fled.
