Squad

Chizoba Okoh is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Chizoba Okoh: 2 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match

Cup progress for Wikki Tourists

A 0‑0 win over Bayelsa United, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Squad

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.

Player ratings

Baggio beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 21. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets

Kano Pillars tell Wikki Tourists: Muhammed Usman 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.

Player ratings

Sadeeq Abubakar misses from twelve yards

It was his to settle and he did not settle it. A long walk back to the halfway line, and a considerably longer week.

Transfer targets

Wikki Tourists ask about Favour Bala

A loan enquiry to Plateau United: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Ibrahim Obansa is in the works

Wikki Tourists have made the call to Remo Stars. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Wikki Tourists try to borrow Luka Ngwei

Nasarawa United have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Match

Sadeeq Abubakar wins it after the whistle should have gone

91 minutes played. Sadeeq Abubakar found the finish in time that only existed because of earlier delays, and Nasarawa United went from a point to nothing inside one movement.

Squad

Shuaibu Ibrahim signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Shuaibu Ibrahim commits to Wikki Tourists for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Wikki Tourists

Shuaibu Ibrahim 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.

Squad

Words at Wikki Tourists training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Sani Ibrahim 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Isah Ndala

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.

Match

Sadeeq Abubakar the difference as Wikki Tourists beat Nasarawa United

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Sadeeq Abubakar. 1‑0 against Nasarawa United, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Sadeeq Abubakar

A mark of 7.97, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Transfer targets

Wikki Tourists try to borrow Muhammed Usman

Kano Pillars have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets

Wikki Tourists ask about Ozovehe Adeiza

A loan enquiry to Shooting Stars: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
