This guy's memory is spectacular!! He remembers very specific details.... matches, dates, match scores, player's names, incidents, even the name of some random sports minister from 30 years ago in the 1990s. Tells you how mentally gifted some footballers are and what other successful careers they could have had even if football didn't work out for them.
What a team we had in Ibadan then.... Fantastic bunch....With Ogunjobi and Jossy Lad, Shuaibu.... Adamasingba was the slaughter Slab...Thanks alot Duke Udi,...Dotun, Olumide Harris, Taofik Malik, Baruwa, Lati, Baba Owoblow.... Ibadan...Thanks Elegbete..More grease!
Duke Udi was a super baller wherever- Eagles, 3SC and others. I played alongside him at Jalisco Football Field at Oshodi, Agege Motor Road. He was a master and would choose him over some so-called stars of the Eagles of those days. He played purposeful and collaborative soccer unlike those who dribbled without team purpose.
Point of correction at 5:00. Nigeria beat Egypt 3-2 in Lagos, thanks to the 2nd half rocket by Kingsley Obiekwu. We played 1-1 in Cairo and qualified on a 4-3 aggregate. If we had not scored that equalizer in Egypt, Atlanta '96 would have been a pipe dream.
@@ELEGBETETV@ELEGBETETV Go and check your records. Both matches were shown on TV. I was a university student then, not a toddler. Nigeria was drawn against Egypt in the 2nd round of the 1996 Olympic Qualifier. Two goals from Kanu Nwankwo and a 3rd rocket of a shot from Kingsley Obiekwu cancelled out goals from Mustafa and Emam. 2nd leh ended 1-1 and we qualified to face Zimbabwe in the final round on a 4-3 goals aggregate. We now beat Zimbabwe home and away 1-0 to qualify for the Olympics. Zimbabwe scored a goal in Lagos that was adjudged offside, which would have stood if there was VAR. After we qualified, we were almost disqualified by CAF due to discrepancies in Abiodun Baruwa's age. He was dropped and replaced by Joseph Dosu whose performance in the Olympics earned him the Super Eagles number 1 spot. The accident he had after a 1997 World Cup qualifier ended hhis career. I used to watch the local league in the stadium as a kid. As far back as 1984, i used to watch a 16-year old Etim Esin, Uwem Ekarika and others in the Calabar Sports Stadium. So u can guess my age. I am not a kid!
He is correct. The first leg ended 3-2 in Lagos. The second leg ended 1-1 with Ikpeba scoring the equalizer. It was the game against Kenya that ended 0-0.@@ELEGBETETV
In 1996, dollar was #22 to the naira. $20k = N440,000. 🤷🏿♂ Can someone explain this 800k thing?? Or he meant 80k?? I think its 80k, maybe bros misspoke.?
If it were to be me I would collect the 800k because I know what I want. Secondly, He said Bonfere Jo took him to Grasshoppers of Switzerland were he signed his 1st European contract then things didn't go to well and Bonfere took him to Herenveen in Holland were he refused to play and returned to 3SC. That wasn't a good decision at all because Bonfere was the U23 team coach then who went to become Super Eagles coach in 1998 world cup, for the coach to be taking you to clubs to get him signed up shows he believes in the player's abilities and the little sacrifices he could have done was to endure and as he's enduring he's always sure to be getting national call ups because the coach got his back. He made many bad decisions that affected his career because all those senior players he mentioned also paid their dues before they reached those heights but will never talk about it because it's of no use to talk about it because it favored them. Most of those senior players never got it on a platter of gold too, they had prices to pay when they were upcoming. Bye bye 👋
In 1996 how much was $20k in naira first b4 we start accusing NFA. I don't think they were cheated. What was the equivalent of 20k USD in naira back then? Am asking you people
@@ELEGBETETV You're wrong I don't believe it's upto that it's impossible bcos naira wasn't this bad then even though I will check it out. In another video we're Duke talked about Peter Odili rewarding all the players 5k USD each when the NFA gave him 200k naira a commenter said USD was 115 naira then in 2001. So 1996 should be below that amount You're quoting here because we all know how subsequent regimes and Obsanjo pulled Nigerian economy back after Abacha's demise. I'm going to research on it
@@ELEGBETETV ok I just checked. You're right But Duke Udi being a Nigerian who knows how Nigeria works should have removed his mind from the money then, play along with them corrupt officials until he gains his grounds fully because he was truly a good baller

Ahmed Musa also did same from 2011-2012, He played U-20, Flying Eagles, he played U-23 for Olympics Qualifiers and the Super Eagles same year.

Dotun Alatise, Mojeed Azeez, Ajibade Babalade was in and out of the team, I also remember Ogbehin Fawole..
.nostalgia 😢
@uskymak3857 what a team! Bright 10:10...John Benson...Aigbovo, Golden Ajebor, Friday Christopher.....Igbaa o lo bi oreree...
Yes. I remember Duke Udi. That CCL final in 96 against Zamalek. He'll of a match
My Man 3sc management whnt forget you, Bcs you are one of oluyole warriors legend, up shooting,up stars,DUKE UDI the mildfeild maestro.
I remember that 3SC vs Orlando Pirates match vividly.

Good one chief. We need more interviews like this.
Please I wish we can name and shame the people involved
Great job Elegbete.. Good memories coming Duke Udi right there. God bless you Elegbete..
This guy is a legend
Omo😢, from $20k USD to ₦800,000, The heart of men is desperately wicked
A Dollar was 22 naria, so $20,000 was 400k
So they probably got 80k not 800k each as he mentioned
Ogoo Ibadan...Legend...Up Soooottttiinnnggggg
Some sad memories
Good ones too
Good way to learn❤
Another nice one from Elegbete TV

@@ELEGBETETVhave you checked your records and corrected yourself? Your response to my VERY ACCURATE answer was offensive and you know it.
I checked, I was wrong and you are right. I apologize.
The content is great. Duke deserves accolades... but una go change that closing jingle ah beg. Elegbete. Thanks
You could have complained to the then team captain (Stephen Keshi)na
Duke Udi thanks for calling out those criminals that have been destroying our sports system,
The rot in the glass house no b today 😂🤣
INTERESTING. PLS LOAD THE COMPLETE INTERVIEW. E JOOR
Only una go say my videos too dey long, I cut it in pieces now, complain still dey?
We that know your worth will never complain
Pls,pls pls put the full video in ur comment section for ppl that want to listen to it
Rashidi knew what was at stake
My question to bros Duke is, the Woman that made him decide to remain homebased at 3sc, us she the one he married?
Otherwise, ........😮
Which woman?
In 1996, dollar was #22 to the naira.
$20k = N440,000. 🤷🏿♂
Can someone explain this 800k thing??
Or he meant 80k??
I think its 80k, maybe bros misspoke.?
I think it was about 85 naira in the parallel market. So, $20k is about 1.7m
Chai Abacha ooooo....see opportunities lost😢
I saw one black bag 😜😜 I see naira...... No be juju be that
Will meber forget that Ileba goal in Egypt. What a screamer!
Will never forget the Ikpeba goal I mean
Duke Udi was a beast.
No You Are Wrong Sir, We Beat Egypt 🇪🇬 3-2 In Lagos & Drew 1-1 In Egypt To Advance Towards The Final Round Against Zimbabwe 🇿🇼...
You are right ✅
I doubt if Nigeria will ever be Better
Please they should mention names!!! 😭🤦🏽♂️
Did you not hear Sani Toro
@ELEGBETETV me am confused here. In 1996 how much was $20k in naira first b4 we start accusing NFA
Was Duke Udi truthfully an 18yo in 1995?
This was nearly 30 years ago. Does Duke Udi look older than 50 years?
@@enod9746 I believe there's more to the subject matter that isn't clear to you.
20,000 dollars as at 1996 was not more than 1 million naira.
It was 1.6 million naira in the open market sir
Nigeria vs Egypt was 3:2. Kanu scored 2 goals and Kingsley Obiekwu a long range free kick.
Duke you see !! You didnt have a manager that was your problem not coach jo
Politics interfering with football
Duke UTILITY Udi, what a player
So no be today the call for usage of Home based players don start and blaming of players
NIGERIA
Nigerian and cheating, no be today o.
