It’s Matchday! Sundays during the NPFL season carry their own rhythm. Christmas might be creeping in as markets are packed, roads jammed with fresh “December cars,” and decorations springing up everywhere but no matter how chaotic things get, Nigerian football fans somehow still reserve space in their hearts (and schedules) […]
Good day! Saturday, like every other day of the week, keeps its promise and shows up every seven days without fail. Just like rain must fall, tax must be paid, thunder must grumble before lightning flashes, and every living soul must one day answer the final call. These things are […]
Football pundits always say being a football manager is the worst career choice if you want job security. They are not wrong. Coaches get sacked everywhere, all the time, because football clubs always believe the next guy will fix what the last guy broke. Enyimba is no different. A club […]
Good morning All. It is midweek already and it appears December is on a mission to finish in record time. I want to begin by apologizing for the no-show on the blog yesterday. It was simply one of those days where everything said, “Not today, sir.” The weather’s crazy negative […]
The Elephant Park crackled with tension and tradition as Enyimba FC hosted Rangers International in another fiery edition of the Oriental Derby.

Pressure sat heavily on interim […]
Good Day All, Yesterday was Thanksgiving in the United States, a day set aside to appreciate the Lord for His blessings and kindness. Many spent it around crowded tables with family and friends, sharing affection, stories, and plates that never seem to get empty. It remains one of my favorite […]
This is one of those days when enthusiasm feels like a scarce commodity. It is hard to summon energy to write about Enyimba when everything around the club feels heavy. These are certainly not the best of times for any Enyimba supporter. The climate is gloomy, the picture is grim, […]

And the worst part wasn’t even the result itself, but the fake glimmer of a comeback that flickered briefly… […]
It’s Matchday! Monday evening football is one of those rare, confusing NPFL experiences, though last season we got more than our fair share thanks to our own logistical hiccups.
