Ugochukwu David asks to leave Abia Warriors
“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.

3 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Musa Sadiq steps up from the Abia Warriors academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Musa Sadiq 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.
