The derby between Enugu Rangers & Enyimba of Aba is proof that football & sports in general, can become a huge money-spinner for Nigeria. If massive investments are made in football: stadia, TV rights, players & coaches welfare, etc, it’ll be bye-bye to unemployment & insecurity.
As I look at this crowd at the cathedral in the Rangers/Enyimba game, 2 incidents come to my mind, in 2002, I drove 12hrs for a Shania Twain concert in Canada and the melee that happened at the end, then there is the Experience by HOTR at TBS that was washed out by a heavy rain.
Today we finally made it to the stadium to watch the legendary Rangers play their home match against Enyimba city.
To say it was a hot game is an understatement. Let me just say it had everything from calm, heart rush, cry and fight. All the emotions in 100+ minutes.
Very Important information to Biafrans in Biafra land mostly the residents of Enyimba City Aba in Old Abia State.. Beware of Nigeria terrorist in uniform in your areas..
The pitch invasion by fans during the Enyimba vs Rangers match is disappointing and dangerous. Let's grow up and support our teams with passion not violence. Football is a game, not a war.
About 40,000 people came to Enugu yesterday to watch Rangers and Enyimba play their game, but Cubana Chief priest told BBC that South East is not safe.
Enyimba ruined what would have been a climatic end to the biggest and most watch NPFL match in decades. What a shame. The club should be fined, the players should be fined, other disciplinary actions should be taken to serve as deterrent to other NPFL teams.
