The contents often suggest the confidential whisper of a race-track tout. The cost can be incredibly high: as much as $125 a year for some 3,000 words a week-an annual total well below the word count in one average issue of the New York Times (185,000).

Born in Oweeri, East Nigeria, in 1939, Ohiri says he has been playing soccer "ever since I can remember--from the time I could recognize a ball." From sandy beaches, rubber balls, and bare feet, he moved on into high school competition, the city team, the regionals, and, in 1959, the Nigerian All-Stars...
