Africa’ The Birthplace of Mankind Since for Africa, experts had earlier determined that it is the origin of mankind, as enormous quantities of human-like fossils (discovered no where else) were uncovered on the continent, some going back 3.5 million years. About 1.75 million years ago, early man expanded over areas of Africa. They were ferocious hunters, lived in caves and needed fire and their skills to produce stone tools merely to survive. Around 200,000 years ago, the Neanderthals emerged and spread throughout southern Europe and portions of northern Africa. There is also convincing evidence that they possessed control of fire, lived in caves, as well as open-air constructions of stone and plants.

According to legend, the Nigerian civil war was temporarily interrupted in 1969 by the legendary Brazilian footballer Pele and his team, Santos, when Nigeria and Biafra agreed to set their differences aside so that Santos might play in the nation. But did this actually occur? And why did the best player in the world come to Nigeria in the first place? In this article, I examine the past to uncover the true tale of Pele in Nigeria. The Match in Lagos with Pele In January 1969, the Brazilian team Santos set off on a lucrative football tour of Africa. Exhibition games were scheduled to take place in Algeria, Ghana, The Congo, Nigeria, and Mozambique. The tour’s main attraction was Pele, the finest football player in the world at the time and a player for Santos. He had previously won two world championships and would lead Brazil to their most illustrious triumph in Mexico the following year. He attracted large audiences, which allowed Santos to demand huge appearance fees for their exhibition games.
