Daniel Ifeanyichukwu agrees terms with Ikorodu City

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

Nazif Abdullahi asks to leave Nasarawa United

“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.

Squad16 Jun 2031

6 saves: Daniel Ifeanyichukwu was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings16 Jun 2031

Up for the corner, and Jofrank Istifanus delivers — 7.79

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Jofrank Istifanus scored, was marked 7.79, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

A falling-out at Nasarawa United

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

Transfer targets16 Jun 2031

Nasarawa United rebuffed over Adam Yakubu

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Korona have kept their man, and Nasarawa United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad16 Jun 2031

A row about effort at Nasarawa United

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

Match14 Jun 2031

Nasarawa United refuse to lose to Enyimba

A point taken on 87 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.

Match14 Jun 2031

Nasarawa United and Enyimba take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

A row about effort at Nasarawa United

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

Ojo Johnson back under a manager who knows him

The new man at Nasarawa United has worked with Ojo Johnson before and it went well. He arrives with a view of the player already formed, which is worth more than any pre-season.

Squad21 Oct 2030

Saleh Tokindang 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 Nasarawa United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

When it matters, Sunday Dapma 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.

The Naziru Auwalu story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Naziru Auwalu signs something — a contract at Nasarawa United or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

The dugout21 Oct 2030

A door opens for Ojo Johnson

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
