Nobody could get near Sunday Aniebet

Successful dribbles: 37. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match19 Aug 2026

Niger Tornadoes bow out of the cup

Kano Pillars go through and Niger Tornadoes go home, 2‑3 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

No sign of nerves from Abdulrasheed Shehu at 20 — 7.82

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Abdulrasheed Shehu did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Godwin John 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 The request is on a desk at Niger Tornadoes, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to Niger Tornadoes's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Niger Tornadoes has to find a result from somewhere.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Mendos Rickson has agreed to leave Niger Tornadoes for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Market24 Aug 2026

Niger Tornadoes turn down AS Police for Godfrey Joseph

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ishah Abubakar has one foot out of the door

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Niger Tornadoes

Mohammed Aliyu 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.

The Niger Tornadoes Sentinel

Ismail Sarki runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market17 Aug 2026

So close: Ibrahim Sabiu’s move dies late

The fee was agreed and the flight was looked at — and then the phone stopped ringing. Columbus Crew moved on, Ibrahim Sabiu reports back to Niger Tornadoes, and everybody pretends Monday is just Monday.

Market17 Aug 2026

Rivers United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Niger Tornadoes did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A move Saidu Lawan would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Saidu Lawan is living that version at Niger Tornadoes, and it tends to show in the first month.

Mendos Rickson has one foot out of the door

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Mohammed Aliyu 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 Niger Tornadoes this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Terdoo Shimagande 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Niger Tornadoes sign Sunday Aniebet, one for the future

Sunday Aniebet is 19, and Niger Tornadoes have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
