Bad luck or just a mere coincidence?

25th of January, 2022.

I know most people have had their experiences regarding this issue of bad luck. Some regard and have proven to be true, that certain calls, meeting some people, having a nightmare or other incidents during an expectant time causes disappointment or not being able to achieve the proposed success.

I started this discussion yesterday at my industrial training place yesterday and my people aired their opinion. Someone Said he does not dare pick any call from home when he's on a project. He further stated that such a thing has happened two to three times, in which he received a call from home, even when the project he was on was just at the last step. He eventually lost those projects in the long run.

I have always had people speak of bad luck, but I have never been this bothered. An incident occurred two days ago. This is all about the Nigeria men senior team. They are called the Super Eagles.

In Africa, there's always a football tournament for the senior men team across the continent, it's called the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon). It occurs biennially, every two years.

The tournament took off on the 8th or 11th I guess, of this month. The Nigeria football team comprises stars and young talents. The team was excellent in the group stages of the tournament. In fact, it was on the Super Eagles that qualified for the next round wish perfect point of 9 points, because they won't all their matches

Many professionals and ex players have already tipped Nigeria as the favorite to win this competition. But unfortunately, the Super Eagles got knocked out at the round of 16, a very early stage. Many Nigerians were disappointed after raising their hopes all high for the team.

But not long after the exit of the Super Eagles out of the competition, some information, investigative or maybe coincidences started coming up. The President of Nigeria has earlier called the team ahead of the clash in the round of 16, which many termed as bad luck.

It revealed many such situations in which the President did the same thing and ended in failure for them. Such as the senior women football team, the basketball team, the renowned boxer, Anthony Joshua and many more. 

The way it was detailed and documented, one will surely be convinced that this is indeed bad luck. Ever since then I have been wondering if this really a bad luck or something just a mere coincidence.

It seems many have had their own portion and experiences of bad luck, which I'd like you to share. I still feel there's nothing as bad luck, it's just a coincidence. Whatever is meant to be is meant to. A call or an action cannot change or cause bad luck except it's spiritual, for those who believe in spirituality. If there's bad luck, then definitely there will be good luck.
