Good morning, Enyimba faithful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lately, it feels like we\u2019re trapped in the plot of some throwback books I remember well\u2014One Week, One Trouble and More Tales From Shakespeare. Both would make a fitting title for this two-week stretch we\u2019ve endured! It\u2019s like the dark clouds settled in, ordered some popcorn, and are in no rush to leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our latest twist? A nice, hefty \u20a61 million fine handed down yesterday evening, all for something that could’ve been avoided\u2014personal comments spilling onto our official social media platform. One can\u2019t help but wonder if we’ve forgotten the cardinal rule of club PR: the media director should be as alert as a referee at a penalty spot, making sure everything released is in line with club standards. Yet, here we are, with no media director on deck to keep things from going off the rails. And what do we get for that oversight? A fine as high as an Enyimba goal celebration!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For those in football, here\u2019s the golden rule: you don\u2019t air officiating grievances on social media. There are official channels for that\u2014a formal complaint carries weight and can lead to real action. Meanwhile, ranting online only brings fines and stirs up frustration from fans who don\u2019t want to lose faith in the league. If even the participants seem to lack confidence, how will outsiders ever take our league seriously enough to back it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, I\u2019m not here as a league spokesperson, and that’s why I\u2019d strongly urge the league to take complaints seriously, investigate thoroughly, and call out wrongdoers, not just clubs. Still, at the end of the day, we\u2019re on the hook for that \u20a61 million. When it rains, it pours, right? So, let\u2019s rally and keep Enyimba in our prayers\u2014there\u2019s been more than enough drama to last the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And as if that weren\u2019t enough, we\u2019re now facing the loss of Eze Ekwutoziem and Ani Ozoemena for the next game, both called up to the Super Eagles B-team camp for a match that will happen in December! Who arranges these things? Maybe the league should have a window for their camp but that will further elongate the duration of the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With all that said, here\u2019s hope in the mould of a bit of good news, we have settled Chijioke Akuneto’s \u20a61.2million debt, as well as what is due Gateway United. On Stephen Chukwude’s case, we’ve defrayed it with a \u20a61.5million payment with an agreement to pay in installments every 2 months. Now that’s cheering news. We’ll have the full compliment of the squad, bar Ozoemena and Ekwutoziem, for the game in Yenegoa against Bayelsa United. Hopefully, we’ll win again like we did last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back tomorrow with more cheering news, hopefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
