  • How Pele Ended a war in Africa

    How Pele Ended a war in Africa

    Nigeria experienced civil war from July 1967 until January 1970.  Pele, the G.O.A.T., appeared to have the power to halt the conflict. 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.  Fans were prepared to pay to watch him play against their clubs because they wanted to see him perform.…

  • God of Osiris - Egyptian God of the Underworld

    God of Osiris – Egyptian God of the Underworld

    God of Osiris One of the main deities in the Egyptian pantheon, Osiris is most known for being the deity of the Underworld.  Osiris was the oldest child born to Nut, the goddess of the skies, and Geb, the Earth deity, according to Egyptian mythology.  Seth, the deity of chaos and battle, and Isis, the goddess of healing and rebirth, were among his younger brothers.  After getting hitched, Isis and Osiris ruled Egypt as its first queen and king.  They had Horus, another well-known deity in the pantheon, as a kid. Historians have discovered the first representation of Osiris around 2300 BCE.  Initially, only a few individuals in each group idolized him.  But he rose to fame as the afterlife’s supreme king, and his devotees began to blame him for the annual flooding of the Nile.  Osiris was revered as the deity of: 1. Fertility. 2. Agriculture. 3. Resurrection. 4. Vegetation.…

    Meet the East African Lions that Climb Trees

    Those who have never witnessed this odd behavior might find it strange that the term “tree climbing lions” is used. Even seasoned experts in animal behavior concur that climbing trees and perching on branches is not an evolutionary adaptation for lions.  There are just two known populations of tree climbing lions on the globe, proving how uncommon this occurrence really is. While seeing a leopard dozing off in the jungle on a safari is typical, this peculiar behavior displayed by lions has drawn attention and curiosity.
