The Nasarawa United Gazette
Market13 Sep 2027
The Kwara United deal is off
Everything was agreed until it was not, and Chukwudi Okoro reports back to Nasarawa United with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.
Market13 Sep 2027
Olawale Olajide is a Nasarawa United player again
He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.
The dugout13 Sep 2027
The manager makes an example of Sunday Dapma
“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.
Transfer targets13 Sep 2027
The window shuts on the Otutu Young deal
Nasarawa United ran out of time with Bayelsa United. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.
Match11 Sep 2027
Katsina United snatch it back from Nasarawa United
A goal on 87 minutes turned three points into one and a good afternoon into an argument about game management that will run until Saturday.
Player ratings13 Sep 2027
Nobody on the pitch touched Austin Onyemaechi
7.78, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Nasarawa United had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
Squad13 Sep 2027
The formation has left Mafeng Pam behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Nasarawa United will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
Player ratings13 Sep 2027
Harrison Ebah was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 15. 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.
Match11 Sep 2027
Honours even between Nasarawa United and Katsina United
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
