Enyimba vs Raja Casablanca Preview: People’s Elephants seek to build on home form.

Usman Abdallah’s men welcome the Moroccans in Wednesday’s cracker and they would be relying on their impressive home form to see them through

Wednesday’s first leg semi-final clash brings together two of Africa’s most enthralling football nations as they battle for a place in the final.

Enyimba have confounded many people’s expectations by reaching the last four with a team very little was expected.

The unbalanced NPFL was thought to be a weakness, but they have looked stronger thanks to the impact of new coach Abdallah who replaced Nigeria U20 coach, Paul Aigbogun.

Having silenced Rayon Sports to reach the last four, the Aba Elephants are set to go gun blazing against Raja Casablanca who are also gunning for their first Caf Confederation Cup diadem.

Pre-tournament favorites Raja have had a decent outing – losing just once in their last eight games and they would be hoping to halt Enyimba’s fine home fun to make the second-leg easy.

To achieve this, they will certainly bank on Mahmoud Benhalib to get the goals at the Aba International Stadium. Benhalib tops the Confederation Cup chart with 11 goals.

Goalkeeper Theophilus Afelokhai is expected to man the goalpost again thanks to his brilliant form since displacing Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Fatau Dauda.

Whatever the scoreline is in Aba, the finalist will be known on October 24 at the Stade Mohammed V, Casablanca.

Whatever that happens here today is even beyond me. As a party man, I have to submit myself to the will of the party members

I brought Ambode to the people. He performed well as a civil servant and I introduced him to the people and the party and if the party now says they want a change, so be it.

I consider it as an insult, the insinuation that there is a rancour between me and @AkinwunmiAmbode. I have no problem with him (@AkinwunmiAmbode). Whatever happens is a party decision and I have to respect that because I am a party man.

Good morning dear Lagosians, it has come to my attention that a group by the name Sanwoolu Support Group has been claiming to speak for me. While I hope to be the governor of all, I denounce the activities of any amorphous groups. Their opinion does not represent me.

Thank you.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail-

I never knew John Cleese of Fawlty Towers was a Python member.

There's something about the British accent that I find very intriguing, especially when used in slapstick comedy. One of my favorite scenes is the one with the foulmouthed French soldier. "I'll wave my private part at your aunties!"

The whole movie was nonsensical but very creative. I didn't laugh much, but the comedic aspects are classic. Absolutely classic!
