Squad19 Oct 2026

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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Enyimba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kelvin Ogunga 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.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of Sylvester Bell

“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.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Goodluck Nkemakolam: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Enyimba will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Usman Lolo has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Enyimba will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

A door opens for Jonathan Jacob

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Adekunle Mojeed was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 20. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Nelson Sule

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

Squad21 Sep 2026

Nelson Sule: “I am not a substitute”

“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Enyimba will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Nobody on the pitch touched Solomon Ogberahwe

7.24, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Enyimba had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Samuel Osayi-Samuel was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Enyimba dressing room was either.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Words at Enyimba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kalu Nweke 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.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

Enyimba pick somebody else ahead of Joseph Abiodun

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match19 Sep 2026

Enyimba draw a blank against Barau

The crowd waited for a goal that never came. Barau defended in numbers and left with what they came for, and the two sides could be playing still without troubling a scorer.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Age has not caught Stanley Dimgba yet — 8.03

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.03 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 0 signed and 19 gone

That is the business done at Enyimba until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad7 Sep 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Enyimba training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Kelvin Ogunga 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.

Match5 Sep 2026

Enyimba get the job done against Warri Wolves

A 2‑0 win over Warri Wolves, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Ufere Chukwu was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.20. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Adamu Yazid signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Adamu Yazid commits to Enyimba for another 2 years.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Afolayan Peters 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

David Eke named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. David Eke is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.
