NPFL: Second Bite At The Cherry

As the Nigerian Professional Football League resumes for second stanza, you can't take your eyes off any npfl games, as it promises to be intriguing, exciting and mouth watering. The League Management Committee must focus on every game in the second stanza, pressuring referees against ineptitude and sanctioning clubs with any misconduct as clubs take a second bite at the npfl cherry.

With Enyimba football club of Aba leading the first stanza on away results and Sunshine stars football club of Akure ahead of the elephants on goal difference (+2). The second stanza seems to be extremely competitive, with the top seven clubs separated by just seven points, clinching the trophy now balls down to consistency, hard work and focus. Coach Abdu Maikaba of Wikki tourist FC already demonstrated these characteristics in the first stanza of Nigerian Professional Football League with Wikki tourists Football club. 

Coach Maikaba stated over a month ago that Wikki tourist football club's goal is to maintain a top three finish in the first stanza of the Nigeria Professional Football League, according to Naija made SS. As of now, clearly, coach Maikaba and Wikki tourist FC are sitting on the third spot on the log with 33 points out of 19 games played.

The defending champions of the Nigerian Professional Football League, Kano Pillars Football club are not having a smooth run so far, with the management of the club sacking the head coach, Okey emordi, after a shaky first stanza, with the club relinquishing a 3-0 lead to draw masters Lobi stars of Makurdi, ending the match 3-3. Kano pillars football club now sit on the 9th spot with 27 points out 19 games, will the defending champions make a massive comeback in the second stanza with other top teams looking sharp and determine??? 

Heartland of owerri was displaced to the fifth spot, after warri wolves’ football club smashed El-Kanemi warriors 5-0 during a reschedule game. Will the Nazi millionaires put up a fight in the second stanza??

Warri wolves’ football club sneaked into the top four after a five star performance against El-Kanemi warriors. Will this five star performance spur the wolves to challenge for the title? 

FC Ifeanyi Ubah ended the first stanza of the Nigeria Professional Football League with 27 points out of 19 games. Securing the services of Coach John ogu should make the second stanza of their campaign quite interesting after the management sacked Coach Mitko Dobrev. The CEO of FC Ifeanyi Ubah, Ifeanyi Ubah made it clear his club is here to stay. Ifeanyi Ubah provides his club with massive support, appearances during match days, amongst other incentives.

After the first stanza, Niger delta oil boys Sharks FC, Bayelsa United and Dolphins Fc are all in the relegation zone, alongside Taraba FC. Rivers state government is responsible for both Sharks FC and Dolphins FC, with the governor, Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike providing incentives for the Nigeria U23 team, we hope the government should extend their hand of friendship to these clubs and at least help them avoid relegation.
