Good morning, and welcome to a month filled with high expectations, love in the air, but most importantly \u2014better decision-making at our club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday, we narrowly avoided making the headlines for all the wrong reasons\u2014a road accident involving our team bus and a truck. Thankfully, the players and staff were unharmed, and for that, we remain grateful. But beyond the relief, I\u2019m left wondering: why do we keep flirting with disaster when proper travel arrangements should be basic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some might ask why I\u2019m harping on this, but let\u2019s think about it for a second. The last time we traveled to Maiduguri by road, the excuse was late submission of the squad list, which supposedly made flight bookings impossible\u2014even with a sponsor footing the bill. What\u2019s the excuse this time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bauchi is deep in the Northeast, requiring a minimum of 30 hours on the road. This squad is already stretched to its limits, but instead of maximizing our resources, we\u2019re grinding them down even further. We boast about our partnerships, but when it truly matters, what\u2019s the point of having them if we refuse to activate them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just last week, Brown Ideye openly criticized the club\u2019s logistics and player welfare, highlighting travel arrangements as a major issue. But, of course, some people rushed to defend our management, claiming it\u2019s a league-wide problem and not specific to Enyimba. Fine, let\u2019s humor that argument for a second. Now, explain why Eguma himself is blaming fatigue for our poor run, yet our leadership thinks utilizing our partnership with United Nigeria Airlines is somehow inconsequential to improving recovery time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are we going to make this trip and get there and beat Lobi? I doubt it. There\u2019s a boomerang effect on these small decisions. Hunger. Fatigue. Dampened morale. How does a manager get the best out of such a setup? You watched Eguma\u2019s interview after the Heartland game. It almost felt like he\u2019s resigned to another defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last time I checked, we still had an active partnership with them. Or is there some classified information we aren\u2019t privy to? Must we always scream and lament before commonsense decisions are made?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Jesus walked the earth, he told his disciples, \u201cIf you love me, feed my lambs.\u201d If you love this club, take care of it. Take care of the players, the logistics, and the structure. If not, we\u2019ll keep questioning how much you truly love Enyimba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the month of love\u2014if you truly love this club, and your stay on the Enyimba board isn\u2019t to milk the coffers, it\u2019s time to show it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
