The Bendel Insurance Post

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market26 Jul 2038

Okuhle Majavu puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bendel Insurance, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad26 Jul 2038

Odion Ogunjobi says Bendel Insurance 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.

Brayann Nana 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 Bendel Insurance this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Bendel Insurance training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Naphtali Agada 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.

Market26 Jul 2038

Abbati Musa told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Abbati Musa has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Bendel Insurance.

Match24 Jul 2038

Efe Obiomo’s goal not enough for Bendel Insurance

Efe Obiomo scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Remo Stars, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad26 Jul 2038

No hiding place for Okuhle Majavu

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Okuhle Majavu, and the manager let it.

Market26 Jul 2038

The Chukwueze Obafemi conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Kun Khalifat will make the call about Chukwueze Obafemi this week. Bendel Insurance have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Off the pace: Juan Ruíz Díaz

A mark of 5.76 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Market31 May 2038

Okuhle Majavu asks to leave Bendel Insurance

“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.

Squad31 May 2038

Tempers go at Bendel Insurance

Brayann Nana 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.

Squad31 May 2038

Naphtali Agada 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.

Squad31 May 2038

No hiding place for Ekene Olisema

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ekene Olisema, and the manager let it.

Match29 May 2038

Ikorodu City take the points off Bendel Insurance

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad31 May 2038

When it matters, Abbati Musa plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

A mark of 5.48 tells the story without any need for embellishment. He will want the tape of this one quietly lost.

Bamidele Ayodamole never got going

5.72 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
