Kun Khalifat tear Katsina United apart
Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Katsina United, and it could have been more.

Fee done, terms next for Samuel Anakwe
Kun Khalifat and Remo Stars have settled on $1.1M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

No sign of nerves from Onuorah Onyedika at 20 — 8.06
The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Onuorah Onyedika did not need any: 8.06, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Ahmed Yahaya 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 The request is on a desk at Kun Khalifat, and it is not being withdrawn.

Door shut on Victor Baridapdoo

Tempers go at Kun Khalifat
Michael Akano 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.

One of their own: Wisdom Obichere
He is 23 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.

One of those days for Stanley Nnanna
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.46, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Words at Kun Khalifat training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Hassan Olubode 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.
