Finally, it is the last day of October. A month that came with all the sweetness of promise but ended up serving us nothing but limes. Bitter ones too. Most of us cannot wait to flip the calendar and pretend October never existed. Because honestly, what was that? September had […]
It took ten matches for Enyimba to find a mid-table perch. The cracks and holes in the team that dominated preseason discussions on this platform but were papered over by the early unbeaten run, have now widened and festered. The questions raised but ignored at the start of the campaign […]
Good morning guys, It has been a while, hasn’t it? I have sat back, watched quietly, and hoped that what we were seeing on the pitch would eventually make sense. EgumaBall, as people now call it, is full of huff and puff and nothing else. All that noise, all that […]
Good day! This will probably be one of the shortest pieces you’ll read here, not because there’s little to say, but because there’s just one thing sitting heavily on my mind.

In Happy Weekend! Not exactly a greeting a lot of us can resonate with right now, thanks to our recent run of results. Weekends are supposed to be for rest, relaxation, and recovery, with maybe a dash of enjoyment after a week’s hustle. But for football fans, weekends mean something else […]
