and puts them together as the Team of The Week.
Friday Achimugwu - Giwa FC
Giwa FC is blessed with quality keepers, with the likes of
Olorunleke Ojo and Friday Achimugwu in their ranks.
Achimugwu used everything at his disposal to deny Dolphins
three points. Great performance.
Ndifreke Effiong - Abia Warriors
I expect Effiong to stop the other team from scoring, not to be
scoring the winner. What was he doing up there in open play
so early in the game?
When a defender gets that confidence to score a goal and then
keeps his opposing attackers at bay in a game, he deserves a
place here.
Halilu Obadeki - Kwara United
I had to see it to believe it. Never have I seen this kind of
complete performance from the left-back.
The build up from the defence to the attack was extraordinary.
Obadeki ran his heart out throughout the game.
On how he made the run into the Lobi area to bend a brilliant
cross to Segun Alebiosu was excellent.
Nojeem Raji - Giwa FC
For the second time this season, I’ve selected Nojeem for my
Team of the Week after another sound performance, this time
against Dolphins.
We normally associate good defending with sophisticated
handling of the ball in defence but the former Enyimba star
was just phenomenal at getting his body in the way in order
to stop Dolphins getting shots in on goal.
Emmanuel Anyanwu - Enyimba
Enyimba fans have replaced the frown with a smile and the
pregnant pauses with praise for this defender.
The former U20 and U23 star was simply outstanding. He was
too quick and just too good in every department.
Dayo Ojo - Sunshine Stars
I’ve seen this player perform heroics for Sunshine Stars this
season and I think the Akure based club would struggle to
keep hold of such talent in future.
Dayo’s mesmerizing passes, the zig zag runs and vision was
what Kano Pillars couldn’t deal with.
Paul Onobi - Sunshine Stars
Under coach Kennedy Boboye, he now seem to know what
precisely is required from a player of his calibre.
His first goal was crucial.
Sani Kaita - Ifeanyi Uba FC
Sani Kaita showed a great sense of vision, awareness and
intelligence throughout the game.
We know he has the talent but Ifeanyi Uba was the only club
prepared to invest in it and now they are getting the reward.
It was a near perfect performance from the ex-Monaco
midfielder against Elkanemi Warriors.
Bright Onyedikachi - Ifeanyi Uba FC
Kachy’s greatest asset is his pace and with that he used
incredibly in the game. He threatened to hurt Elkanemi
Warriors earlier in the game, but they didn’t heed the warnings
and it was clear he wasn’t going to miss the target a second
time, before he completed his brace in the second stanza.
This young man was a prodigious talent at Dynamite Force
and he looks like he may fulfill all his promise at Ifeanyi Uba
FC.
Solomon Eludi - Ifeanyi Uba FC
Took control of the opposition upfront and refused to give
them any room or chance to progress down field. Caused
problems up front, scoring a double.
Godwin Obaje - Wikki Tourists
Nothing would give me greater pleasure than extolling the
virtues of this strong youngster who has risen to fame so
quick at Wikki Tourists.
He maintains that he doesn’t feel the pressure and just plays
football to enjoy it. Well, it certainly looks that way.
Obaje took his two goals brilliantly in the 3-0 win against
Sharks.
