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 minds. He has made 34 appearances for the People’s Elephant in […]
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. Your Darling Elephant meanwhile head back homeward, very emptyhanded. That […]
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, it’s time for business. Today’s the day we do what […]

Ecclesiastes 7:14 echoes in my mind: “In the day of prosperity, rejoice. But in the day of adversity, consider.” Today, […]
“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 coach Yemi ‘Yema’ Olanrewaju when I spoke to him ahead […]
