Golden Eaglets, gift of peace and the man, Emmanuel Amunike.

   Football has a way of making Nigerians forget the many problems facing them. Sports, especially football, has been an aspirin of some sort to ailing Nigerians. Coach Emmanuel Amunike led Nigeria's Under 17 team, the Golden Eaglets to victory in the recently concluded U-17 FIFA World Cup in Chile.

   "Nzogbu nzogbu enyimba enyi...." is not a lullaby. It is a 'war' chant you get to hear whenever Enyimba International Footbal Club is in the neighbourhood.

Chelsea leaky a**e and the football weekend.

   Nobody outside the confines of the dressing room at Stamford Bridge can say what exactly is the problem; mutiny, low morale, Eva Caneiro or amadioha's anger. No one can presently say what is wrong with the self acclaimed Special One, José Mourinho.

Ripple effect of the Oliseh/ Enyeama saga continue as Emenike resigns.

   The ripple effect of the Oliseh and Enyeama issue is definitely here on us. The next being the resignation of Emmanuel Emenike from the Super Eagles as widely reported. First let me point out that I believe Emmanuel Emenike's time in the Super Eagles should have ended a while ago. His last goal for the Super Eagles came in October 2013 in Ethiopia during the Brazil 2015 World Cup playoffs. Since then, the energetic and ganging striker have remained a shadow of the Emenike we know, at the Super Eagles level, that is.

The Oliseh and Enyeama saga: My opinion.

   Nigerian football have been embroiled in fracas over the last seven days. Started with names of Super Eagles invitees and culminated in the Sunday Oliseh and Vincent Enyeama saga. From the moment I heard the story, I blamed the Manager, Sunday Oliseh. Having heard both sides of the story, I blame them both, but ascribe the larger share to Oliseh. There is a reason modern day football coaches are called Managers.

Fine boy Memphis, Chelsea woes and the Oriental derby.

   People, make una no vex say na pidgin I wan use. Wetin do Manchester United for weekend no be wetin dem dey use Eliza English talk. You know as e dey be when you wan folo person wey you sure die say you fit beat fight but before you fold trouser you dey ground?

E be United like film.

Diego Costa drama weekend.

   "...he is the man of the match", announced José Mourinho of Diego Costa after his side humbled Arsenal by two unreplied goals. Coming at the heels of a community Shield game where Arsene Wenger beat Mourinho for the first time, we expected a super game on Saturday afternoon but got drama.
