No, you don’t rehearse on stage

I'm sitting in a class writing this. A guy is rolling out financial data of a High School in Michigan. The annual budget of this school's Sports programs is $400,000. That is four hundred thousand dollars. Using today's exchange rates, we are looking at N176,000,000. That's a hundred and seventy six million Naira. And for …

Spirited display but not enough in showdown with Lobi

Good morning Everyone, our hopes of any kind of point in Makurdi fell apart yet again and it was our former player, David Tyavkase who dug the knife at the death. His strike from the edge of the area took a deflection and flew past a grossly overworked Theophilus Afelokhai. 2-1 it ended and we …

5 Reasons why we would get a good result in Makurdi today

Good morning All, we take on Lobi Stars at the Aper Aku stadium this evening. Usually here on the blog, our match previews for home games are much more demanding for the team to get results than for the away games. We tend to almost write an away game as a defeat citing all the …

It’s time to make money: wake up the sleeping Giants

Good morning Everyone. It's Saturday and you deserve something of a lengthy read. I hope I'm able to feed you that today but there is a matter on my mind I'll really love to share today. It's on sustaining our football culture through talent discovery, grooming and development. Let's delve in.  At the start of …

Good visionary midfielders: anybody got an idea?

We head out this morning toward Markurdi after what was a lengthy period of non action. By Sunday, it would be 14 days since our last game. I know fatigue does play a role in football. I believe too much rest does as well. So a good performance is all about the right balance of …

Something from behind the scenes

Good morning Everyone, It's Thursday and we leave for our clash with Lobi Stars (who by the way lost narrowly to Rangers yesterday in Enugu) tomorrow I believe. We have had sufficient rest and we should be battle ready for the weekend. Hopefully it would be a good outing for Ogunbote and his men. Today …

Of Enyimba and referees and away teams

Good morning Everyone, I thought we would be playing this midweek with the Continental contingent having fixtures planned for them this today. Rangers, Rivers United, Wikki Tourists and FC Ifeanyiubah are all in action today but we would have to wait till later to play FC Ifeanyiubah in our rescheduled fixture. So FC Ifeanyiubah is …

Available goal keeping solutions

Good morning Guys, It's Tuesday and February is gradually coming to an end. I hope things are opening up in accordance to your projections for the new year. It's nearly March and before you know it, the first quarter would be gone. I know you've got your plans well and truly underway. I do hope …

The doors are closing, we are running out of excuses

Good morning Everyone, we've been on a 3 day Sabbatical. Waking up daily and not bothering about what to share of our beloved club. Twas fun while it lasted and honestly I can't help but admit I've asked myself questions in these past couple of days if I shouldn't move on. Walk away. Leave the …

We are Nigeria’s most successful club so we don’t need a website

Good morning Pals. Hope everyone is OK and that Valentine's Day yesterday did not gulp up all of your savings (for the guys) and that everything played out just nicely (for the ladies). Thumbs up if your scorecard reads 5/5 on the basis of those checks. For those who got no love from anyone yesterday, …
