It’s Matchday! That’s exactly what the weekend screams literally in these parts and at these times. Yet another eventful weekend of premium Nigerian football with all the drama, intrigues and excitement will be served across 9 venues (Katsina will have a double dose) across three days. Two fixtures stands out […]
In Abia State, two towns dominate every conversation,Aba and Umuahia. They’re not enemies, never have been, but they share a rivalry that’s as old as the state itself. Umuahia wears its status as the capital city with quiet pride, while Aba, less than an hour’s drive away, carries the swagger […]
The gloom that trailed Enyimba’s outings in October finally gave way to the glow we crave in November, as the People’s Elephant began the new month with a 2–0 victory over Kano Pillars to return to winning ways after a dreadful run of three straight losses. The victory warmed even […]
Sunday’s result disappears into the sunset, but there was something different in the air at the Enyimba Stadium at full time last Sunday. Can we chat about it a little? Maybe it was relief, maybe it was redemption, maybe it was just the sound of a club finally remembering who […]
Good morning Guys, Today is about echoing the quesion on every fan’s lips. Where is Pinto? It has been since Novmber last year since we last saw Happy Eze Ekwutoziam, better known as Pinto, in the blue of Enyimba. Since that cruel injury against Al Masry ended his season. Silence, […]

It took ten matches for Enyimba to find a mid-table perch. The cracks and holes in the team that dominated preseason discussions on this platform but were papered over by the early unbeaten run, have now widened and festered. The questions raised but ignored at the start of the campaign […]
Good morning guys, It has been a while, hasn’t it? I have sat back, watched quietly, and hoped that what we were seeing on the pitch would eventually make sense. EgumaBall, as people now call it, is full of huff and puff and nothing else. All that noise, all that […]
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 […]
