Market12 Jun 2028

John Kennedy has said yes to Kwara United

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

The dugout12 Jun 2028

Nelson Sule keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Enyimba may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market12 Jun 2028

Goodluck Nkemakolam hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Enyimba can pretend not to have heard.

Match10 Jun 2028

5 matches without a win for Enyimba

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Enyimba are no longer polite ones.

Match10 Jun 2028

5 matches without a goal for Enyimba

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 5 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

No thanks: Kutlwano Letlhaku rejects the move

Enyimba had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Mamelodi Sundowns, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Enyimba

Ezekiel Edidiong was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Door shut on Koro Coulibaly

Enyimba asked and Stade Malien said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Player ratings12 Jun 2028

Christopher Richards did the work nobody counts — 6.63

12 combined actions and 6.63. The job he did is the one that shows up as other people looking good, and the only reliable way to notice it is to watch what happens on the afternoons he is missing.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

Ebube Success: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Enyimba have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Ezekiel Edidiong 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 Enyimba this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad1 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Enyimba

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

The dugout1 Nov 2027

Ezekiel Edidiong gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Nelson Sule stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nelson Sule and Enyimba agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Loan watch1 Nov 2027

Chibudem Favour has seen enough of Paradou

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Enyimba, and 6 appearances in 8 say he has earned the hearing.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad2 Nov 2026

A fracture rules Okoh Afamefuna out for 40 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Enyimba will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market2 Nov 2026

Godwin Dede has one foot out of the door

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

Squad2 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Enyimba

Ezekiel Edidiong and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout2 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Joseph Abiodun

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

Squad2 Nov 2026

Words at Enyimba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nelson Sule is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad2 Nov 2026

A promotion for Mohammed Hussaini

Not a new contract, not a new number: a new place in the manager’s thinking, which is the only promotion in football that actually matters. Mohammed Hussaini has moved up it.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

A brace, and Stanley Dimgba takes the afternoon — 9.22

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Stanley Dimgba provided it, and the 9.22 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Enyimba

Joel Ezra was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager makes an example of Kelvin Ogunga

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Christopher Richards at his very best

Marked 8.17. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Enyimba.

Match19 Sep 2026

Late, late show earns Enyimba a point

Minute 92, against Warri Wolves, and a goal that felt like a win to everybody who had stayed. It was a draw. Nobody leaving the ground will describe it as one.

Match19 Sep 2026

Enyimba and Warri Wolves take a point apiece

It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Joseph Abiodun beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Enyimba

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

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Abraham Chukwueze: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 3‑3 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
