The Rise and Rise of Daniel Daga
I have taken a few days off from writing due to no big reason really. At times you need to take that rest so to return fresh and sharp. Today I will focus on one of Enyimba's young sharp...
Elkanemi 1-0 Enyimba: Don’t blame the players, blame the Enyimba Management.
Good morning Gents and Ladies,
Our sorry attempt at honoring an NPFL Game ended in tatters. A late goal in the first half was all Elkanemi needed and the 3 points was added to their points tally on the table....
Match Preview: El-Kanemi Warriors v Enyimba
It’s Matchday, folks!
After a grueling road trip from Aba that felt like a scene from Mad Max, we finally made it to Maiduguri. Hallelujah! We’ve rested, we’ve had a feel of that "fantastic" pitch in the northeast, and now,...
El-Kanemi trip + Ikorodu City visit: Time to rotate the squad
The pain of dropping points should surely be easing out by now among Enyimba faithful I believe. Now is the time to focus on what is ahead of the People’s Elephant rather than brood over what is lost. It...
Enyimba International and the dearth of visionary leadership.
If you didn't doze off while watching TV or texting your acquaintances on WhatsApp, there usually is that brief moment when you're lying down all by yourself and you can ruminate over the events of the day. Those or...
Niger Tornadoes fallout: Stats don’t lie

Tornadoes get a share of the spoils. An abysmal day in office.

Ecclesiastes 7:14 echoes in my mind: "In the day of...
Next up, Niger Tornadoes: One Game at a time
"We're taking things a game at a time. It's a long season, and we can't start underrating or overlooking opponents. So for me and the team, it is one game at a time."
Those were the words of Enyimba head...
The North African Football Culture 101
Relief. Finally.
We’re back in Aba, and our Super Eagles have finally returned from their “frozen chicken” treatment in Libya. While our trip home was uneventful, the Super Eagles endured a nightmarish 24 hours—a classic North African move, it seems....
A Chess game in Ibadan + Ozoemena’s moment of madness.
Morning all.
It is the morning after last night's gruelling schedule against Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC). The People's Elephant really dug deep to eke out a point at the Lekan Salami Stadium in Ibadan.
For starters, I must really commend...
