Which secondary school has produced the highest number of players for the\u00a0Green\/Super Eagles\u00a0<\/i><\/b>in Nigeria\u2019s history?\u00a0 This is a Million-Dollar poser that I have been trying to solve in the past 48 hours. The process has been an experience I must share, and my conclusion, a shocker.<\/p>\n

This whole thing started innocently; My\u00a0Alma Mater\u00a0<\/b>is about to celebrate its 60th<\/sup>anniversary. Alumni are planning a massive re-union scheduled for the month of November\u00a02019<\/a>\u00a0in Jos. Part of my mandate is to write a little tribute on\u00a0St. Murumba\u00a0College, Jos.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

My challenge is that I always look at the world through the lens of sports. St. Murumba College will not be an exception. Looking through my prism, I realize very quickly that I am on to something interesting. I am pleasantly surprised to discover the rich throve of football archived in the school\u2019s history – \u2018diamonds\u2019 hidden in the recesses.<\/p>\n

I am going through my personal experiences, 5 enriching and memorable years in a small Day-school where it was a requirement for all the students to own their own bicycles. The distance to the school from town was long (3 kilometres)\u00a0and Jos had no intra-city public transportation of any kind.<\/p>\n

Looking back, those years were wrapped in great friendships, a peaceful beautiful city, first class academics and a proper grounding in football. Those years are some of the best and most memorable of my life.\u00a0 I also recall, of course, the sad part, the political upheavals and horrors of\u00a01966<\/a>, the pogrom, particularly. Images of a particular morning are etched in my mind. For many years after that morning in January of\u00a01966<\/a>, I was traumatized\u00a0by recollections of gruesome killings, burning and looting that happened right before my infant eyes, unfortunate incidences that were to become a precursor to even more senseless orgies that have turned the once beautiful, peaceful and cosmopolitan city of\u00a0brothers, into fields of death, with the blood of the innocent smeared permanently as scars on the Jos landscape.<\/p>\n

I am to write a tribute.<\/p>\n

I am recalling football in my years in St. Murumba College. I start to compile a few names that I can recall of students that represented the school. Some of them went on to play in the\u00a0Green\/Super Eagles<\/i><\/b>. It is an interesting reverie. I am feeling proud and excited. How many schools in Nigeria have churned out many players that went on to play for the national team? We should have the statistics, so that we can crown one as king.\u00a0 I start to browse across the history of Nigerian football. I compile names of players and their schools.\u00a0 Despite my claim to being some kind of authority in the documentation of Nigerian football, I realise how shallow my \u2018library\u2019 is.<\/p>\n

I must consult others in the field very quickly. I don\u2019t have enough time to do a proper forensic of the subject, so, I shall do a quick audit, put down what I find and challenge the rest of the country to challenge my finding.\u00a0 My excitement is growing.\u00a0\u00a0I call up some friends immediately. They represent different football areas, eras and interests in the country: Patrick Ekeji, Godwin Dudu-Orumen, Ejike Ikunze, Ikeddy Isiguzo, Sam Pam, Patrick Mancha, Henry Nwosu.<\/p>\n

I speak with each one of them about what they know. Their recollections are blunted by the suddenness of my call, my unusual request and by age!\u00a0 Like me, none of them has a ready list of names of players and their schools. None could come up easily with more than 2 or 3 names from any single school in the country since Independence. Naming popular football schools is easy. Attaching more than 2 names of players is more difficult.\u00a0 It takes Henry Nwosu 24 hours to come up with the longest list of players from any one school that I have so far compiled.\u00a0\u00a0He gets up to 8 players.<\/p>\n

Godwin Dudu-Orumen scans through schools and players in the Mid-Western region axis. No matter how much he tries, he can\u2019t get beyond a maximum of 3 players amongst the popular schools that he reels out easily.<\/p>\n

I call up Patrick Ekeji to help me with the East. The man is a Lagos man. He went to St. Gregory\u2019s College. He suggests I contact Ikeddy Isiguzo and Ejike Ikunze,\u00a0Mr. Football<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 Between both gentlemen I do not get far at all. The East of yore had too many schools, the competition too high, and the best players thinly spread between them. No school comes up with more than 3 names of students that played\u00a0for the national team.<\/p>\n

I leave the east and go northwards.\u00a0\u00a0The north is very easy to traverse very quickly. There are fewer big football loving schools and no long list from any schools.\u00a0It is only Jos that has big names and records to audit.<\/p>\n

It was always a great football City \u2013 11 FA Cup finals in almost as many years! There is something about the city and producing great players.\u00a0\u00a0I know a lot of the history because I grew up there and I was involved.\u00a0\u00a0One school immediately comes to my mind.\u00a0\u00a0It is a little-known school called\u00a0Academy Institute of Commerce.\u00a0 <\/b>In\u00a01965<\/a>, several of the school\u2019s players were Igbos. They were also members of the Jos Town team, Plateau XI. The team had gone to Lagos, as usual, for the\u00a0final rounds of that year\u2019s FA Cup, and narrowly escaped the political upheavals that erupted throughout Northern Nigeria (including Jos). The Igbo players decided to stay back in Lagos to safeguard their lives, joined Stationary Stores and formed a significant\u00a0number in the\u00a0Green Eagles\u00a0<\/i><\/b>for that period.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how 5 players from a single secondary school in Jos, played for the senior national team in that era. They are Samuel Garba Okoye, Peter Anieke, Tony Igwe, Batande Nakande and Ismaila Mabo.\u00a0\u00a0I do not know if\u00a0Academy Institute of Commerce<\/b>still exists but it holds the record of producing 5 players in one year playing for Nigeria\u2019s national team.<\/p>\n

But that still trails behind Henry Nwosu\u2019s list of 8 players.\u00a0There were many schools in Lagos and Western Nigeria, but none dominated the national scene the way Academy Institute did.\u00a0Like in the East, Western Nigeria had too many schools and too many players scattered thinly across them. Not any one of the schools had more than 3 players we can list, not even the greats with a rich history of sports.<\/p>\n

So, I am about to give up and crown Henry Nwosu\u2019s school,\u00a0St. Finbarr\u2019s College<\/b>,\u00a0Akoka<\/b>,\u00a0Lagos<\/b>,\u00a0\u2018King\u2019<\/b>. It stands alone at poll position in the race for the record of the secondary school that has produced the highest number of senior national team players in Nigeria\u2019s history.\u00a0 This is the list: Godwin Odiye, Emilo John, Martin Eyo, Stephen Keshi, Franklyn Howard, Henry Nwosu, Paul Okoku, Nathaniel Ogedengbe.<\/p>\n

I return to my task of writing about my alma mater.<\/p>\n

I go down memory lane.\u00a0\u00a0When I enrolled into\u00a0St. Murumba College<\/b>, there were three great players that went on to become famous. Mathew \u2018Mogambo the Truck Pusher<\/i><\/b>\u2019 Atuegbu, his brother Nicholas Atuegbu, and Emmanuel\u00a0\u2018The Tailor\u2019\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Egede.\u00a0I don\u2019t know how or why they had such crazy nick names but Mathew and Emmanuel went on to play as\u00a0Green Eagles.\u00a0 <\/i><\/b>From our generation of players, 2 of us eventually played for the senior national team, Tijani\u00a0\u2018Pele\u2019\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Salihu Nakande and I, Segun \u2018Mathematical\u2019\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Odegbami.<\/p>\n

After our era, there were several more players invited to the national team, but three actually played for the Super Eagles –\u00a0Patrick Mancha, Benedict Akwuegwu and John \u2018Mikel\u2019 Obi.\u00a0John\u2019s relationship with St. Murumba is unique because, although he played for the school in one year during Shell Cup, he did not attend the school officially.\u00a0 I am staring at an incredible revelation.<\/p>\n

So far, my list is at the lucky number, 7.\u00a0 Could St. Murumba College, Jos, be the school with the second highest number of students that ever played for Nigeria\u2019s senior national football team?\u00a0That would be an incredible feat indeed, reflective of the nature and style of the great school after 60 years – a silent achiever, a pace setter, quietly and steadily conquering the world of scholarship and of football.<\/p>\n
