Hey there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s another sanitation weekend, and like clockwork, my mind drifts to those childhood tunes from the radio\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCleanliness is next to godliness, so make it a habit today\u2026 Remember, Abia is God\u2019s Own State, so keep it clean, make Abia a cleaner state, a better state today<\/em>\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That jingle still plays on a loop in my head every sanitation day. So, in the spirit of keeping things clean, let\u2019s tidy up our thoughts on the blog today as we gear up for a blockbuster weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First off, a feel-good moment from Wednesday\u2019s win over Lobi Stars. Sir Mayor, the living embodiment of the Enyimba spirit, was honoured by none other than Eze \u201cPinto\u201d Ekwutoziem. Pinto, who\u2019s been with us since forever, couldn\u2019t help but appreciate the dedication of Sir Mayor, gifting him a jersey before the game. It\u2019s only fitting\u2014Sir Mayor\u2019s matchday outfits are a full-blown vibe. These are the fans who practically scream, “It’s game day!” just by showing up. And for them, a win is non-negotiable. Anything less? Utter frustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, as we look ahead to Super Sunday, we\u2019re up against some familiar faces in a very familiar place\u2014Port Harcourt, where we\u2019ll face our old boss, Finidi George, and his Rivers United side. Port Harcourt victories have been few and far between since Rivers United rebranded, but don’t let that shake your faith! Remember, every new day starts a fresh chapter, and Yema is ready to write his own against the man who once led us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eze “Pinto” was full of praise for the fatherly role Finidi played during his time in Aba. But when the whistle blows tomorrow, that father-son bond will be on ice for 90 minutes. What\u2019s really going to make the difference is how Yema leverages his new-look squad. We\u2019ve got fresh faces like Asibe, Adikwu, Abdullahi, Jephtha, Ukadike, and Ufere\u2014none of whom were with us last season, yet all started in our win against Lobi. It\u2019s almost a brand-new team, but one with serious potential. The catch? Finidi knows Yema\u2019s preferred tactics, and vice versa. This clash won\u2019t just be about strategy\u2014it\u2019ll be about who can execute their game plan more efficiently and adapt faster under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the stakes this high, make no mistakes about it, our resolve as a team will be severely tested in Port Harcourt. The purpose is clearly defined – protecting Enyimba’s unbeaten record is paramount. A victory? Oh boy, that would not only maintain our momentum but will also serve notice to other teams in the League that we mean business this term. So as you clean up your homes and surroundings, hope the team cleans up misfiring legs and wayward shots – re-oil the engines to ensure we are impeccable between 3pm and 6pm tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Back tomorrow, <\/p>\n\n\n\n ‘EnyimbaEnyi <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey there!
