Squad25 Jan 2027

17 days out for Gabriel Eze after a fracture

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

Market25 Jan 2027

Sani Ibrahim asks to leave Wikki Tourists

“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.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Joshua Baba turns down Wikki Tourists

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Bendel Insurance keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at Wikki Tourists

Olufemi 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.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Remo Stars tell Wikki Tourists: Sodiq Oshidero is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Sani Ibrahim 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.

Match23 Jan 2027

Wikki Tourists come up short against Rangers International

Rangers International left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Sani Ibrahim 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.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 0‑2 defeat, delivered by Ahmed Omeruo to a room that had heard them before.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad11 Jan 2027

Gabriel Eze breaks a bone — 32 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 32 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

Chinedu Chukwu keeps the receipts

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

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Both of them Aliyu Abubakar's — 8.54

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.54, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Olufemi 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 Wikki Tourists this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match9 Jan 2027

Whatever happens, Wikki Tourists do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match9 Jan 2027

Wikki Tourists find a way past Kano Pillars

Kano Pillars made Wikki Tourists work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The terraces11 Jan 2027

One of their own: Ahmad Lamido

He is 21 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

The dugout11 Jan 2027

No hiding place for Isa Aji

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

Squad11 Jan 2027

Simeon Habila stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Simeon Habila and Wikki Tourists agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad23 Nov 2026

16 days out for Henry Moffi after a fracture

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

Squad23 Nov 2026

A falling-out at Wikki Tourists

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

Squad23 Nov 2026

Sani Ibrahim 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 dugout23 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Haruna Aliyu

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

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Isa Aji asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout23 Nov 2026

Hassan Musa has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Wikki Tourists 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.

“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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A place in the month's best eleven for Ahmad Lamido

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Ahmad Lamido has come out of that comparison in the side, and Wikki Tourists have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Sani Ibrahim loses the armband

The captaincy has been taken off Sani Ibrahim. Wikki Tourists will call it a decision about the team; a dressing room reads it as a verdict on a man.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Idris Guda 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 dugout5 Oct 2026

Isa Aji knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Wikki Tourists, and both men came out saying it was fine.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match12 Sep 2026

The wait goes on for Wikki Tourists

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Wikki Tourists

Sani Ibrahim 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.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Isa Aji 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

Katsina United snatch it back from Wikki Tourists

A goal on 90 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Shuaibu Ibrahim stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.81 on the card, and the Wikki Tourists support went home talking about one name.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Isa Aji wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Wikki Tourists will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Match12 Sep 2026

Wikki Tourists and Katsina United take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Ahmed Omeruo: “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 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout14 Sep 2026

Wikki Tourists pick somebody else ahead of Aliyu Mamuda

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.
