Kano Pillars' New Management Board Makes Waves With A Promising Start

By Muhammad Yasin Adamu

The first week of Kano Pillars' new management board has been nothing short of remarkable, making it feel like they've spent a year in the driving seat. Firstly, I'd like to appreciate the effort of Kano State Governor, Engineer Abba Kabir Yusuf, for appointing a capable team to lead Kano Pillars to the next level.

Secondly, I salute the Kano Pillars Chairman, Ali Muhammad (popularly known as Ali Nayarah Mai Samba), and his entire management board. Under his leadership, they've made a significant impact by appointing Usman Abdallah to lead the club to its former glory days. Usman Abdallah is a high-profile coach with the experience to take Kano Pillars to new heights in Nigerian and African football.

Thirdly, I commend the media sector of the new management, led by Media Director Abubakar Isa Dandago and Deputy Media Director Isma'il Abba Tangalashi. Their efforts have made a huge impact, developing the Kano Pillars X account to 14.8k followers, restoring the official Facebook account, and creating new Instagram handles. As the Hausa proverb goes, "an ajiye kwarya a gurbinta" (you've started well, but there's still much work to be done).

However, the media team has a huge task ahead, as Kano Pillars is currently ranked 16th in the list of most followed football clubs on social media in the Nigerian Premier Football League.

Wikki Tourists Fans' Treatment of Coach Abdu Maikaba and His True Value

By Aminu Maikaba Coach Abdu Maikaba has spent several seasons leading Wikki Tourists FC of Bauchi, steering the club through both difficult moments and historic successes. Despite this, his relationship with a section of the fan base has often been marked by contradiction and unfair treatment. When results do not go Wikki's way, especially after losses or disappointing draws, some fans respond with harsh criticism, insults, and calls for his dismissal, often blaming him alone for poor performances. These reactions, while driven by passion, frequently cross the line into disrespect, ignoring the broader realities of football and collective responsibility. Matches such as the recent draw with Nasarawa United triggered public criticism of his tactics in fan discussions, particularly on social media. However, when the team wins or performs well, Maikaba rarely receives the same level of vocal praise. Recognition is often directed at players, while the coach's role in planning, stru...
