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. My colleague on air yesterday couldn’t resist teasing me about my “reactions” during Sunday’s defeat to Plateau United. I […]
Sometimes football feels like it has a mind of its own. It could be seen as a living, breathing thing that chooses who gets joy and who gets heartbreak. For us, Jos has always been that unkind city that smiles before snatching the laughter away. Yesterday was no different. The […]
Enyimba’s trip to Jos ended in disappointment as the People’s Elephant fell 2–1 to Plateau United in an intense NPFL encounter at the New Jos Stadium on Sunday evening. It was a game of fine margins and defensive lapses, with all the drama packed into a physically demanding ninety minutes […]
