Good morning!
It’s been a minute around these parts, but make no mistake — we’re still here. The silence wasn’t absence; it was survival mode. Because let’s be honest, being an Enyimba fan lately feels like riding a keke with faulty brakes — just when you think you’ve seen daylight, twilight taps you on the shoulder.
From the high of that dominant derby win in Enugu, we’ve somehow nosedived into a mini mutiny. On Friday and Saturday, our boys downed tools — no training, no movement, no vibes. It took a late intervention on Sunday to bring them back, and even that had to be massaged into a social media PR spin on the club’s official X page.
Not great optics. Not great for morale. And definitely not the kind of energy you want when the season’s at its sharp end.
Here’s the real kicker: the league is wide open. Teams around us are crawling. The door to the continent is cracked — all we need to do is kick it open. But instead of charging through, we’re tripping over unpaid allowances and internal unrest. Self-sabotage, anyone?
So, what exactly is going on?
Is the state government withholding subventions? Or are they releasing funds that vanish faster than our lead in second halves? And if government support is intact (which many believe it is, especially after the recent CAF largesse), then the spotlight swings to the club’s management.
This current management pleaded for time, patience, and support to rebuild. Many fans — reluctantly but respectfully — gave them that. But scenes like this? They chip away at trust. They plant doubt. And the question lingers: why is this still happening at Enyimba of all clubs?
This isn’t just any team. This is nine-time champions, two-time African kings, pride of the East. The very symbol of footballing excellence in Nigeria. We should be setting standards, not staging strikes.
Now, the remaining three matches of the season are staring us in the face. Two within the next week. It’s not over yet — not mathematically, not emotionally. But it will take more than damage control tweets and patched-up training sessions to steady the ship.
Let every man — fan, player, coach, official — play their part. For in that, truly lies our honour.
Enyimba Enyi!
