It’s Matchday!
There’s a certain kind of nostalgia in the air. It’s that mix of excitement and suspense, where you just know something beautiful is about to happen—yet you can’t quite predict the shape of it. We’re not questioning the result; we know we’ll get one. The real mystery is how the beauty will unfold.
And who’s in town? Remo Stars—our nemesis of late. It’s baffling; we used to handle these guys with ease, home or away, until about six matches ago. But today, it’s high time we show them who’s the biggest elephant in the room.
This isn’t just about the points; it’s about sending a message. Losing isn’t an option. Heck, dropping a single point isn’t on the table. Their gaffer, Daniel “Ijaball” Ogunmodede, had the audacity to win here last time, and you can bet he’s feeling bold enough to try again. That alone is reason enough to shut him down.
For our own coach, Yema, this game is a pressure cooker. The fans are fully dialed in, and from what I’m hearing, the London derby in the Premier League is taking second place for once! That’s how much is riding on today. So Yema needs to pull out every trick in the book, paying attention to every detail. No experiments, no guessing games—just a plan for three points.
Then we have the main actors: the players. Beating the most consistent team in the league will be no small feat, but they’ve got what it takes. Remo haven’t taken a single point on the road in their last three outings, so let’s help them keep up that streak. From kickoff to the final whistle, we need alertness, passion, and grit. It doesn’t matter if we’re up 4-0 or locked in a tight one-goal game—this battle doesn’t end until that final whistle blows. That’s what the badge demands, plain and simple.
And finally, to us, the fans. This is the moment when wind meets fire! Time to get behind our team with every touch, every tackle, every goal! Let’s drown out the Remo Stars with a wall of noise. They may have trained with blaring speakers at some point this season, but there’s nothing like the real cauldron of Aba on matchday. From the first whistle to the last, let’s make our presence felt. We’re the twelfth man, and we’ve got a job to do.
I’ll leave you with my father’s wise words, which fit perfectly today: “Play well your part, for that is where your honor lies.”
Let’s bring the heat, Enyimba Family. Joy awaits at the final whistle!
