Good morning Everyone. In the Spring of 2014, I got a job with the League Management Company. My first job was to go watch Abia Warriors vs Warri Wolves in Umuahia. It was my first time watching Warriors and there was something quite fascinating about this team. My dominant thought […]
Good morning! Another away day, another disappointment. At this point, it’s almost like a ritual—pack our bags, travel, play, lose. Yes, we did get that one win in Bauchi, but for every team that has played more than once at their “home” ground this season, we haven’t taken a single […]
Not sure how it works for others but my dominant mood at a given time affects the tone and personality of my blog posts. When I am upset about the day I had or perhaps off of the back of a sad incident, it gets revealed in the spirit of […]
Hey! Yesterday, I tried so hard to forget about that Uyo defeat on Sunday. Not that I had high expectations—history and our current form don’t exactly inspire confidence. If you gave Octopus Paul the task of predicting Enyimba’s next match, he’d probably pass. Even a crystal ball would overheat trying […]
Good morning Guys, Our hopes of yet another away joy crumbled in Uyo unsurprisingly. Akwa United threw form out of the window, aided by some very weird officiating. 2-1 it ended after new signing Issah Mohammed had pulled a goal back for us. So its a somber morning for us […]

Good morning Guys, The dust settles on our sad midweek result and attention switches to what lies ahead. And as I pondered on what I could write today, I wondered to myself- Have we set unrealistic expectations of ourselves? Are we expecting to harvest oranges from an apple tree? All […]
I’m still reeling from yesterday’s draw against Niger Tornadoes. The excitement and anticipation that filled the Enyimba International Stadium at 4pm was palpable, but the outcome left me feeling hollow. Ecclesiastes 7:14 echoes in my mind: “In the day of prosperity, rejoice. But in the day of adversity, consider.” Today, […]
“We’re taking things a game at a time. It’s a long season, and we can’t start underrating or overlooking opponents. So for me and the team, it is one game at a time.” Those were the words of Enyimba head coach Yemi ‘Yema’ Olanrewaju when I spoke to him ahead […]
Enyimba FC coach Olanrewaju Daniel Yemi says his team is aware of the danger Niger Tornadoes pose ahead of their NPFL Match Day 7 encounter on Wednesday. “Niger Tornadoes have struggled at home, but their away record is a different story altogether,” Yemi noted. “We’re aware of their tactics and […]
