Ungoing NNL super Four at Kwara State Stadium Ilorin

MATCH DAY ONE - Wikki 1 vs 1 Gabros fc (Pk 3 : 4)


Gabros (IU United) for life

[size=18pt]Eze Chidiebere Turns Hero In Gabros Super Four Semi Final Win[/size]


Eze Chidiebere was the hero as Gabros International zoomed to the final of the Nigeria National League Super Four with his heroics in the penalty shootouts which ended 4-3 against Wikki Tourists.

The regulation time of the encounter ended 1-1 at the Kwara Stadium.

Five minutes into the match Wikki Tourists had a call for penalty ignored by the referee. Alhaji Idris saw his shot hit the right hand of the sprawling Seidu Mohammed.

Gabros International pressed forward and had a chance of their own in the 8th minute. Nwosu Oluchukwu threaded a dangerous cross to the box but Ohamu Michael was wayward with his finish.

Goalkeeper Eze Chidiebere was kept busy as he saved goal bound attempts at his goal. He twice made two world class stops in the 13th and 15th minute respectively.

At the other end a faulty punch from Babangida Yusuf almost resulted in the opener. However his defence line cleared to safety.

The lively Victor Yakubu dribbled his way past three Gabros International players, but his 30-metre shot brought an outstanding save from goalkeeper Eze Chidiebere.

Eze Chidiebere acrobatically flew at full stretch to keep out Ahmed Mohammed's header. The striker thought his effort had sailed into the waiting net. Somehow the goal minder was at his best to redeem his team.

Four minutes before the half hour mark the wasteful Ohamu Michael missed a sitter once again. Thompson Emmanuel dribbled his way and set up Ohamu Michael. As usual the striker was complacent in front of goal.

Beijing Olympics silver medalist Chibuzor Okonkwo who proved his mettle at right back had his 35-metre free kick brilliantly tipped away by Babangida Yusuf in the 31st minute.

The woodwork denied Ahmed Mohammed's free kick from giving Wikki Tourists the lead.

Against the run of play, Gabros International were in front with the last kick of the match.

The previously wasteful Ohamu Michael beat the offside trap. He beat the goalkeeper and three defenders before sending a rocket to the roof.

The second half was balanced as both teams created chances to score.

Reliable goal minder Eze Chidiebere proved to be the saving grace for Gabros International with his world class stops for majority part of the second stanza.

Two minutes to the end of the match, substitute Alaba Johnson dragged the game to penalties with the equaliser.

Ahmed Mohammed thought he had given Wikki Tourists the winner but his fierce drive deflected off a Gabros International defender.

Wikki Tourists Starters: Babangida Yusuf, Mustapha Ibrahim, Waziri Christ, Harrison Madu (Hassan Useini 57'), Emenike Onuoha, Ambrose Peter, Uche Martins, Alhaji Idris (Alaba Johnson 75'), Ahmed Usman (Haruna Babalo 55'), Victor Yakubu (Nafiu Bala 59'), Ahmed Mohammed

okay you right

we need to o emphasize the need for community ownership in our country. the government running model is not growing the game.
The subject, 'Community Ownership of Football
Club in Nigeria' is yet to be leverage on in
Nigeria but EseOghene Edafe, an OAP, a sports
researcher and analyst in a chat with SL10.ng
talked about the importance of communities
taking up ownership of football clubs in Nigeria.
The series in Community Ownership of Football
Club in Nigeria will start on Wednesday by 10am
on SL10 Nigeria Twitter handle ( @SL10Nigeria ).
Enjoy the recap of the chat on Monday:
SL10: Good morning
Edafe: Morning
SL10Nigeria: Can community ownership of
football clubs in Nigeria work in this part of the
world?
Edafe: Yes it can and it's what Nigeria needs.
SL10: How can it be achieved bearing in mind
that Nigeria is a diverse community often with
many cultures in a state?
Edafe: Football thrives in diversity and multi-
cultural ethnicity
SL10: Agreed but how do you propose to arrest
the illiteracy level which spurs division instead
of unity?
Edafe: That diversity is actually what is
supposed to work to our advantage. Plenty of
flavour and colouration
SL10: Why do you think 'Community Ownership
of Football Clubs" is what Nigeria needs?
Edafe: For one it is suicidal to expect that tax
payers money should be spent unaccounted for
in football.
SL10: Community ownership, please simplify it
for proper understanding.
Edafe: It simply means the clubs being owned by
the people instead of Government. Let's say
10000 people pay 5k (five thousand )
membership fee
SL10: That means a group of people coming
together to own a club. Can one be a major
shareholder but not an outright owner?
Edafe: The constitution of the club should spell it
clearly that everyone would have equal share for
50yrs at least so that the annual renewal would
run and build funds for the sustenance of the
clubs over the years. Every business without
accountability and financial integrity would never
grow or gain value and respect.
SL10: With this idea of community ownership, is
it possible to get grant/loan from bank to
expand or will it be done as normal
contribution.
Edafe: If a club has 10000 fans committed to the
cause in five years they would increase income
by 35% through merchandise and adverts.
SL10: As a community owned club, how will the
issue of referees seeking PR when it's not part
of our budget be curbed?
Edafe: I ran a club from 2003 to 2004, never
paid a kobo to refs yet got promoted to the top
flight. Good players and good coach would solve
that problem. Poor coaching and under fed
players causes that.
SL10: Are you saying all the clubs in the NPFL
don't pay good salary and coaches need to
upgrade their techniques.
Edafe: Absolute yes to that. What you read on
paper is not what players get. Plus it's
inconsistent in coming. The idea of Community
club ownership initiative would give fans a right
of ownership and vote their board and managers
who are accountable to them.
When banks wanted to introduce #ATM
Nigerians said area boys would steal them, it
won't work etc. What do we have today? A club
with 5000 fans every other week would have its
own bottled water, beverage and snacks for sale.
Enyimba won the CAF Champions League
because Uzor Kalu loved football, how far
thereafter? Back to status quo.
With fans ownership, equipments would improve,
players welfare would improve and marketing as
well. Change is not something people like
because some people are benefiting from the
present abnormalities so they won't.
A topical example of community ownership is FC
Barcelona and Real Madrid. These are clubs
owned by communities not individual or group.
SL10: Can you talk about My Naija FC As
regards community ownership of football
clubs' ?
Edafe: #MyNaijaFC was set up as vehicle to
introduce the concept of fans ownership in
Nigeria. We are trying to spread it.
SL10: So how far have you and your team at
My Naija FC gone with the project?
Edafe: We must agree that the present system
of government patron is criminal,lacking in
financial best practice and corporate integrity.
We are proud to say that we have signed an
agreement with Sandlanders who are expert in
the practice for technical, strategic and logistic
partnership. Stationery Stores FC have also
bought into the idea. Still working on the final
detail.
The same way the greedy status quo driven lazy
folks are opposed to the League Management
Company (LMC) so are they against us. But we
are marching on.
SL10: Thanks for the chat.

so what they are trying to say is igbudu community will now own Warri Wolves, hmmmm anoda crisis at hand

return leg of CAF champions and confederation cup is today

Kano Pillars, Warri Wolves and Dolphins are in action today, while Enyimba is tomorrow

taiocol:

now lemme officially wwelcome you to Hell.TEAM WOLVES. GOODLUCK youguys need or get relegated

Dont speak too soon,mate.

Uduokrika addresses some issue I raised about Gabros Fc.




Ichie OdenigboAroli greetings to you. On the issues you raised i'll like to tell you that from what i have seen about this team there is hope for us in the coming league season starting from our home match March 7, against warri wolves. However, it will interest you to note that big names don't play football in the Nigerian league rather bid clubs in Nigeria league make an average player look like a big player. E.g Abia warrior's Oyekachi Peter was in the NNL with Gabros last two season yet Gabros' Michael Ohamu outscored him though they got promoted to the premiership where he dazzled and today he is a big player just because he moved to Enyimba.

What about Kano Pillars' Christian Obiozor? who will believe he played here in Onitsha alongside Ugochukwu Uzonna and Uche Nwofor for our own relegated Anambra pillars before they moved to Rangers and today the rest is history Uzonna now plays for Chippa United in SA and Nwofor VVV Venlo in Holland and now Lierse SK in Poland. Back to Obiozor today he is a house hold name in kano (almost every fan's jersey in kano bears his name) even before the league kick starts already had 8goals to his credit for Kano pillars during super 6, Ghana tour and a goal in the champions league. Mind you most of these Gabros players were also former Anambra Pillars Players.

Giwa Fc will be our major case study, they won the Group A table of the NNL last two season to play in the league last season, they also won the NNL super 4 in Abuja last season with no Known name. Today if not that Dolphins played in 2014 FA cup finals, Giwa Fc would have been flying Nigeria's flag in the continent because they ended the season on fourth position and also lost to Enyimba at the FA cup semi finals!! Even till now no known player from Giwa apart from the goal keeper OLORUNLEKE OJO who currently has benched Alampasu Dele in the Flying eagles team.

Now back to Gabros FC, If you have watched them play you will agree with me the team is built as a team not around some key individuals on whose shoulders the entire burden dwells e.g If Kano Pillars play a game without Ezekiel Mba, Rabiu Ali, GAmbo Mohammed & Obiozor come and see them loose woefully!! same with Enyimba with the likes of Sokari Kingsley, Nzube Anaezemba, Rasheed Olabiyi and Udoh we saw that almost happened in the last FA cup final where coach Kadiri Ikhana started the match without Olabiyi and Anaezemba if not luck and sheer desperadoo from Goalkeeper Femi Thomas Enyimba will have been down by 4 goals in the first half, but then we saw how the table upturned immediately these two midfield menstro were introduced into the match.

So i'll prefer a team that play together, and stay together irrespective of the BIG NAME syndrome.

This was what a Journalist and a football Analyst have to say about GABROS after the super 4 tournament "............................ the high level of confidence i mentioned is what won the 1st game for them. Gabros has done the same over highly rated 3SC as they took the Oluyole Warriors into the cleaners, the Ifeayi Uba boys are just but classical. Very skillful side, mobile and calculative one touch passes which makes them dangerous on counter attacks, watch-out for them..................." (Adedeji Oluseyi Sbj Malawi)

The two goals scored by Gabros were from counter attacks and in football it takes a very highly and tactical side to achieve this fit!!
