"God will never forgive Kanu Nwankwo for orchestrating such a disgrace upon Enyimba as a club , all his playing years at Europe elite clubs did he ever wear a jersey with mere local paint number imprint, shame on him as Enyimba chairman. I miss enyimba under Sen. orji Kalu"

"I thought a former Super Eagles player is the chairman of this team? Why are they moving this way? Even departmental team in college won’t use chalk to write player name on shirt."

"I said it here last week, and people attacked me. Bendel insurance went the whole season without losing a game, only for Enyimba to win the playoffs. Sporting Lagos and Bendel insurance would have been a better representative for Nigeria. Enyimba is living on past glory"

Sports Brief earlier reported that the AFL features home and away matches with a hectic schedule, potentially including several trips covering the continent's length, due to conclude on November 11.

Ahly and Wydad met in the last two CAF Champions League finals, winning one each, and they will be the teams to beat in the AFL.
