The Bendel Insurance Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Match26 Aug 2026

The small margins put Bendel Insurance out

Out, 1‑3 to Abia Warriors, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Kelvin Akinmola, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.71

A mark of 7.71 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Peace Dewan puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bendel Insurance, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Oke Kayode in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Bendel Insurance this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Bendel Insurance rebuffed over Joseph Kemin

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Barau have kept their man, and Bendel Insurance go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match29 Aug 2026

Wikki Tourists take the points off Bendel Insurance

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Julius Emiloju Junior stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Julius Emiloju Junior and Bendel Insurance agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Bendel Insurance

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ibrahim Sabiu was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Ebuka Okoro

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ebuka Okoro, and the manager let it.

The Bendel Insurance Post

17 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market17 Aug 2026

Anthony Cletus has said yes to JS Saoura

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Bendel Insurance have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Jude Mamman is a medical away from Bendel Insurance

The deal with Barau is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No thanks: Kammonke Willie rejects the move

Bendel Insurance had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Ikorodu City, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Market17 Aug 2026

Joshua Baba has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Bendel Insurance they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

A hand in 2 of them from Alex Oweilayefa — 7.84

Marked 7.84. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Bendel Insurance

Oke Kayode and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Ebuka Okoro falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Ninety minutes of Oke Kayode at his very best

Marked 8.07. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Bendel Insurance.

Match15 Aug 2026

Bendel Insurance rescue it on 92 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 92. Nasarawa United had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

In brief
