That weekend match at UNIBEN Mainbowl was all what was needed to be promoted. They needed to win to be promoted. My guys were already losing and no hope to victory in the presence of patron player, deputy governor of Edo State, Phillip Shuaibu. The match was abandoned after first half and the second half was played on Monday with Bendel Insurance sealing a victory. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dpharisee: Even earlier great players were there: Kadiri Ikhana, David Adiele, etc. Both were in 1980 AFCON winning squad, dominated by Enugu Rangers & Shooting Stars players then. Bendel Insurance v. Enugu Rangers or v Shooting Stars was the top match then. Insurance v NNB was one of the biggest derbies of Nigerian league. With very young Henry Nwosu the only NNB player in AFCON 1980 squad. Thompson Oliha, Friday Elahor and others were in Eguavoen's group. Later Aghahowa, Odemwingie and others played there too. With 3 FA Cups, 2 League Titles, 3 WAFU Cups & 1 CAF Cup, among others, it was very successful and one of the longest in the First Division (Premier League) before relagation about a decade ago. 3 Likes |

Finally!,I.must admit I felt unsure when after everything they were still ask to play in the super 8, at least now the rebranded jersey was a fruitful one. Kudos to the players for the unrelentlessness and the Edo state government for their support. |

Up Bendel!!! Bendel insurance football club back from relegation after eleven years.This news brought back sweet memories !!! That team used to be one of the favourites in the late 70s and early 80s. Then the Nigerian and Ghanian football league was the bomb. Although then I was child but I could Still feel the electrical,happy and competitive atmosphere,it was like Nigerian super eagle playing every weekend. Those were the good old days,even Lagos was beautiful and everybody was just happy been a Nigerian. The economy was booming and there was peace and tranquillity in the nation,people were traveling to Europe to do legit business and buying goods to come and sell back at home .We were respected abroad and Giant in Africa while at it giving the apartheid South African regime "better hit"(South Africans! respect and appreciate Nigerians because our county did a lot for the freedom you enjoy. Say no to xenophobic act).The first President I recognized in my child memory was Alhaji Shehu Shagari who was my favorite actor on almost all programs featured daily on all National television Authority's channels" The NTA News". But guess who truncated democracy in those good old days? The change "saint" in power who is seeking a another term in office now as a democratical elected President,exactly the intent when they sought power in the guise that the Politicians of the well educated and technocratic second republic were corrupt and inept,should I mention that he also came as a saint to save Nigeria. What goes around comes around his brother got him a year or do later. This people scattered our nation and got Nigerians nearer to GOD. This is evident in the numerous churches and mosques all over the country. We don't have a nation again nah only GOD we get now. GOD abeg Epp us for Nigeria. 2 Likes |
