Market1 Jan 2029

Nasiru Umar asks to leave Barau

“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.

Squad1 Jan 2029

A falling-out at Barau

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

Looking ahead1 Jan 2029

A test against the best for Barau

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Shooting Stars.

Squad1 Jan 2029

Jeremiah Olaleke remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Barau would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

Ebuka Nwokorie knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Barau, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Match17 Jun 2028

11 matches without a win for Barau

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Barau are no longer polite ones.

Market19 Jun 2028

Anthony Omaka 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 Barau can pretend not to have heard.

Match19 Jun 2028

Barau are in real trouble now

Position 18, 19 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Emeka Nwabulu agrees terms with Kwara United

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Barau people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Muhammad Suleiman due for a Barau medical

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

Boardroom19 Jun 2028

Emeka Nwabulu signs for Kano Pillars while still at Barau

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Emeka Nwabulu has agreed terms with Kano Pillars for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Yusuf Mannase 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 Barau this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad19 Jun 2028

A row about effort at Barau

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Bismark Duah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
