Squad21 Aug 2028

Moustapha Bissene breaks a bone — 51 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 51 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market21 Aug 2028

Joe Cole Mbella 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 Stade Renard de Melong can pretend not to have heard.

Market21 Aug 2028

Moustapha Bissene is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Stade Renard de Melong is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Real improvement from Browdon Kuissi Fossi at Stade Renard de Melong

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Browdon Kuissi Fossi is 23, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Stade Renard de Melong

Moustapha Bissene 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.

Squad21 Aug 2028

A late step up for Tiago Fernandes

At 28 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Nobody could get near Auwalu Ali Malam

Successful dribbles: 31. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Chiedozie Okorie 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 Kano Pillars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market24 Jan 2028

Muhammed Usman attracts admirers

The name of Muhammed Usman has come up in conversations Kano Pillars were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad24 Jan 2028

Okechukwu Azubuike 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.

Match22 Jan 2028

A bad afternoon for Kano Pillars against El-Kanemi Warriors

1‑2 to El-Kanemi Warriors, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad24 Jan 2028

The manager makes an example of Chiedozie Okorie

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad24 Jan 2028

The manager has not finished forgetting Abuchi Okeke's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

The terraces24 Jan 2028

The spotlight tightens on Abuchi Okeke

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Player ratings24 Jan 2028

Off the pace: Abdullahi Abubakar

A mark of 5.34 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Muhammed Usman damages knee ligaments — 102 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 102 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market4 Jan 2027

Izuchukwu Olewunne asks to leave Kano Pillars

“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.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Mubarak Lawan says Kano Pillars went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market4 Jan 2027

Plateau United join the queue for Junior Aliyu

Add another name to the list: Plateau United have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Junior Aliyu. The answer from Kano Pillars has not changed — yet.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Real improvement from Ibrahim Inuwa at Kano Pillars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ibrahim Inuwa is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Kano Pillars

Abuchi Okeke 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.

Boardroom4 Jan 2027

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Kano Pillars

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market4 Jan 2027

Kano Pillars promote David Onuachu from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. David Onuachu has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market4 Jan 2027

Kano Pillars promote Adebayo Ademola from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Adebayo Ademola has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
