Nigerian League Fan Thread: Enter D Place N Know Every

Enyimba just won't let it go,

http://www.kickoff.com/static/news/article.php?id=10026

Federation Cup champions Enyimba on Monday wrote to the NFF asking to be entered into next season's CAF Confederations Cup as League third place finishers.

The decision by Enyimba, following a board meeting last week, will be sure to embarrass the NFF, who stirred nationwide controversy by handing the slot to Warri Wolves ahead of Federation Cup runners-up Sharks.
 
Wolves finished fourth in the League.
 
Enyimba Media Officer Tonnex Chukwu was however quick to point out that the decision should not be seen in that light, "We are not trying to embarrass the NFF," he told KickOffNigeria.com.
 
"The situation is that the Enyimba board believes that we should be able to determine which route is best for us to enter the competition, and they decided to choose the League," Chukwu said.   

Either August 30 or September 19 (I've seen both dates, )

Thanks man,am also not sure. Lets hope d match fixtures come out in time.

MR. MODERATOR, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS LUCKIEST, I have to come back using this because I understand my "LUCKIEST" was blocked due to the companies advert I posted, I never knew I could be blocked for that this is because I have seen people sent in various kinds of ad in the past and nobody mentioned anything about them, A WARNING message would have been better. I hate violating any kind of law. The reason why i even posted that ad first on NAIRALAND was to ensure that my NAIRALAND people become the first set of people to benefit from my promo. But now I know better Please accept my appologies. before creating this new add I searched the nairaland website to see if I could at least send an apology letter but never find any medium to do so. sorry about everything (spamming).

Sooorrry LUCKIEST u had 2be evicted,but unlike Gulder Ultimate Search,u got a second chance.  lol
hy like d way u took it,not too personal,keep it up!!!
4 mtn,would they really be justifying their huge patronage in dis country by makin such a decision 4 whatever reason?

We remember what happened to Gulder some years back, our league alone can have the - the OFFICIAL BEER - 500Million, the Offical Beverage - 500Million, the Official Drink - 500Million, the Official Water 500Million, the KITS - 500Million, etc; I can go on an on, the league alone could have up to 10 sponsors and partner, bring a total sum of N10Billion or more every season.

its pure nonsense, but they all watch Ultimate Search in the North, they should not blame Sharia, its politics, or are they saying you can't find any form of alcoholic drink around the north. What they should discourage is the habbit of getting drunk. I have never tasted alcohol in my life yet will not say others shouldn't. Nigeria is a free state with evil leaders, we can get it right it is not rocket science; what Fashola is doing in Lagos is not magic, it is just common sense.

Talkin about boko haram,hy hope they are not also against d game of football. lol
hy heard their leader watches satellite tv in his house,yet they claim2be against western technology. can-drinks were also found in his house, so who r they fooling

if they want to know what they call western technology, I will tell them; internet is a western but they use it to send mails to themselves, the road on which they move is western, the car, even the type of house the live, most of the medium they use in communication is western, the is just an idiot; not living a western life is like living in 14th century haba

FANTASTIC! Kano Pillars 3-1 Al merreikh, how about that guys?,

3-1? Dis naija is blessed wit talent but Abuja will cont. to mess up 4 us. In Libya players earn more yet they are no match 4 our talents. We av to do somtin to up our game

Lowly Bayelsa united,hy think they are jus lucky 2be our champions.they definately have some work2 do.but talkin about retaining that title,hy dont think so

HEARTLAND AND PILLARS GET GOOD RESULTS IN THE CAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OVER THE WEEKEND


Heartland put their 2-0 loss to TP Mazembe, a fortnight ago, behind them and defeated Monomotapa of Zimbabwe 3-1 on Sunday at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri in the second Grou B match of the CAF Champions League.

Ike ThankGod opened scoring for the Arugo outfit on the 3rd minute and on the 27th minute, Uche Agba scored the second goal while Ike Ibenegbu fired the winner for Heartland on the 46th minute. Dan Kamunnenga scored Monomotapa’s consolatory goal on the 47th minute.

Heartland coach, Kelechi Emeteole, explained shortly after the match that his wards bounced back to winning ways because they were motivated by the state government to give their best. "The players were on strike for two weeks due to non-payment of salaries and match bonuses but eventually they got it. That contributed immensely to why they played well and won," Emeteole said.
Elsewhere in Kano, Kano Pillars continued their impressive run in the CAF Champions League as they beat Sudanese side, El-Merriekh 3-1 at the Sani Abacha Stadium in the group A encounter on Saturday.

Nigeria’s only representative in the Confederation Cup, Bayelsa United, surprisingly lost at the Oghara Township Stadium 1-2 to visiting Stade Malien in their group game.
El Merriekh remain confident they can make it to the semi-finals of this year's CAF Champions League even after they lost 3-1 to Kano Pillars on Saturday in continuation of the continent's richest club competition.

The Sudanese club are bottom of the standings in Group A with a point from two matches, while Pillars are top with four points. Fellow Sudanese side Al Hilal are second on four points while Zesco are third.
"We are looking forward to our next match against Zesco United of Zambia, which will be at home," said El Merriekh coach, Mohamed Abdala.

"It was good for us that Al Hilal defeated Zesco in Khartoum and that will narrowed Zesco's chances in the competition. Had Zesco won, they would have made things difficult for us in Sudan.
"We will therefore do our best to beat Zesco and that will get us back into strong contention.
"Our group is open and difficult, but we have the ambition to qualify for the semi-finals particularly as we have done well internationally in the last two years.

"It is still early to pick the teams who will qualify. After the next round of matches, the picture will be a lot clearer."
Abdala told Goal.com that an early goal by El Merriekh would have given them victory over their Nigerian foes.

"It was a good performance by my team. We created many scoring chances but we failed to get an early goal. We know we are more experienced than this team and if we had scored early, it would have been a different story," he said.
"We conceded two goals from mistakes in the defence, but in the second half, we made changes and began to dominate. We then scored and would have even drawn level had our full back (Mosa El-Tayeb) not made a sill mistake to be sent off.

Hy saw on d homepage 'Nigerian league named best in Africa', dats definately too good 2be true.but if at all its true,hy know we've sprung some surprises in d continent lately,but pls can some1 tell d areas which u feel 9ja league is better than others in Africa?
