From our football correspondent Steady

Match21 Apr 2027

Warri Wolves through in the cup

A 1‑0 win over Remo Stars, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market26 Apr 2027

Ezekiel Oroh is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Warri Wolves is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market26 Apr 2027

Igbunu Evwierhurhoma 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 The request is on a desk at Warri Wolves, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Nobody could get near Othuke Egbo

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad26 Apr 2027

A falling-out at Warri Wolves

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

Match24 Apr 2027

Warri Wolves rescue it on 92 minutes

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

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

The afternoon belonged to Igbunu Evwierhurhoma

A mark of 7.86, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Player ratings26 Apr 2027

Bassey Bassey stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.71 on the card, and the Warri Wolves support went home talking about one name.

Match24 Apr 2027

Honours even between Warri Wolves and Enyimba

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad18 Jan 2027

14 days out for Vincent Edafe after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Warri Wolves will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market18 Jan 2027

Terms done: Ezekiel Oroh is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Abia Warriors waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Warri Wolves is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Match16 Jan 2027

No end in sight to Warri Wolves's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Warri Wolves has to find a result from somewhere.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Miracle Ukadike: 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.” Warri Wolves have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Warri Wolves

Othuke Egbo 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.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Bassey Bassey beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 19. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match16 Jan 2027

A bad afternoon for Warri Wolves against Nasarawa United

0‑1 to Nasarawa United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Samuel Okon

“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.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Simon Omeruo answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 Dec 2026

Vincent Edafe breaks a bone — 35 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 35 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Warri Wolves

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

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Ikenna Motors 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.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Bassey Bassey stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bassey Bassey and Warri Wolves agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad28 Dec 2026

Justus Ohanu 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.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Uche Sabastine has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Warri Wolves 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.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match19 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves out of the cup

Remo Stars ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Match22 Aug 2026

No mercy from Warri Wolves

Rangers International will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Warri Wolves were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Vincent Edafe stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Bassey Bassey beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 29. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Market24 Aug 2026

Miracle Ukadike turns Unisport Bafang down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market24 Aug 2026

David Joseph 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 Warri Wolves, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market24 Aug 2026

Igbunu Evwierhurhoma has one foot out of the door

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

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves to lose Igbunu Evwierhurhoma for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Igbunu Evwierhurhoma has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Warri Wolves

Othuke Egbo 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.

Match12 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves through in the cup

A 7‑0 win over Ikorodu City, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Eromosele Zibiri scores twice — 9.29

Two goals and a mark of 9.29 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Vincent Edafe

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Uche Sabastine takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Gift Isioma, 20, plays like he has been here for years — 7.85

A mark of 7.85 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 20-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market17 Aug 2026

Godstime Edewor says no to Kun Khalifat

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Godstime Edewor had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Bassey Bassey

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market17 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves say no — this time

The offer from Great Olympics for Miracle Ukadike was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match15 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves cannot stop winning

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

A one-man rearguard from Vincent Edafe

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market3 Aug 2026

Gift Isioma asks to leave Warri Wolves

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Vincent Edafe signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Vincent Edafe and Warri Wolves agree another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Warri Wolves

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

Match1 Aug 2026

Two points walk out of the ground

Level with 93 minutes on the clock, after an afternoon Warri Wolves had all but put away. Bayelsa United will call it a point earned; the home dressing room will call it two given away, and both of them are right.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Igbunu Evwierhurhoma was the difference for Warri Wolves

Marked 7.98. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Bassey Bassey

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves ask about Adamu Ibrahim

A loan enquiry to Barau: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Match1 Aug 2026

Warri Wolves share the spoils with Bayelsa United

A 1‑1 draw with Bayelsa United leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.
