Match2 Jan 2027

A hiding for Kun Khalifat

Beaten 0‑3 by Bendel Insurance, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

A one-man rearguard from Akpan Nsikak-Abong

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.

Market4 Jan 2027

Chikamso Amaefula hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Kun Khalifat can pretend not to have heard.

Eshimitu Gomino Eya due for a Kun Khalifat medical

Everything agreed with Nasarawa United, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Boardroom4 Jan 2027

1 academy graduates step up at Kun Khalifat

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad4 Jan 2027

A falling-out at Kun Khalifat

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

Market4 Jan 2027

Adebayo Collins steps up from the Kun Khalifat academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Adebayo Collins has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Hassan Olubode 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.

Boardroom4 Jan 2027

Nobody left the Kun Khalifat dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Onuorah Onyedika, 20, steals the show — 8.23

Marked 8.23 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market10 Aug 2026

Victor Kelechi asks to leave Kun Khalifat

“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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Kun Khalifat

Hassan Olubode 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.

Kun Khalifat supporters have found a favourite in Onuorah Onyedika

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. Onuorah Onyedika has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

One of our own: Peter Omeruo joins the Kun Khalifat first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Peter Omeruo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. John Okoye is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Taiwo Kalu steps up from the Kun Khalifat academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Taiwo Kalu has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match8 Aug 2026

Kun Khalifat see off Rivers United

Three points for Kun Khalifat, 1‑0 the final word against Rivers United in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Gabriel Lekan signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Gabriel Lekan commits to Kun Khalifat for another 4 years.
