Supporting from the stands 🥳
We mic’d up a fan during the Lagos derby against Ikorodu City, capturing the shouts, cheers and emotions. Match ended in a goalless draw.
ONE YEAR of taking the leap to join the talent management team at @SportingLagos and @SLFCAcademy 💙
I came in without so much experience and one of my first major tasks was to oversee the team’s NNL registrations with guidance from @Ayoanimasahun
It’s been amazing running things from the backend, it’s a whole different perspective as against being on the outside. From the senior team to the U15s
In the past year I’ve grown, helped young talents find expression, ensure the team never lacks anything required to ensure they perform at their optimal level with support from the management.
I’ve seen young boys go from zero to 100 and sadly also 100 to 10. I’ve seen boys make their big breaks to the European stages.
It’s been a privilege and a beautiful ride with so much experience, meetings in rooms I didn’t even think I’d be in this early in life with football power houses across the world.
Multiple states, embassies, meetings, transfer invites, Grassroot scouting, welfare and player management.
Huge thanks to @Ayoanimasahun for taking a chance with me, @genakhena for guidance, @odunlami_ and @_normah_ for being helpful and every SLFC staff.
We’ve won trophies, gotten promotion and now we’re in the top flight, @NigeriaPFL
Happy “workversary” to me in @official_micolo terms 😅
The journey continues 💪✅
#LetsGoSporting
The conversation about why NPFL fans "can’t fill up stadiums" is always flying around on this app, and as someone who have been on the inside working with Sporting Lagos, I think it’s time to add some real context to how this actually works on the ground.
Building a football culture in Nigeria isn't a copy-and-paste job; just because you see a team from North African pull up numbers, you want that immediately for the NPFL when no be juju forgetting that culture building is a grueling, long-term project.
At Sporting Lagos, we are constantly testing what works, and the truth is, we’ve made incredible strides even filling up the stands during tricky midweek fixtures. It’s not a packed house every single game day yet, but the trajectory is clear because we are intentionally laying the groundwork.
Now, if you look at clubs like Kano Pillars and other Northern clubs, their stadiums are always buzzing. They actually have to do very little marketing or engagement to pull those crowds. Why? Because the people there are already deeply, culturally attached to their teams.
Going to the stadium is an ancestral habit passed down through generations (shooting stars). it is woven straight into the fabric of their daily community life.
That is exactly what we are trying to build here in the South: that identical, unbreakable cultural attachment. Because we don't have that century-old legacy yet, our approach is anchored in aggressive community engagement, activations, and our dedicated school projects.
We are deliberately introducing the next generation to the matchday experience, understanding that a "turnt" core fan base isn't bought overnight. it is nurtured piece by piece until local football becomes an undisputed lifestyle.
And we aren't the only ones fighting this battle. There are so many passionate individuals doing incredibly interesting things and actively moving the needle with their respective clubs across the country to change the narrative around Nigerian football.
That is exactly why it’s hard to take armchair critics seriously. If you have never actually bought a ticket, walked through the gates, and watched a local game live, I’m simply not going to entertain you having a say in this conversation. Ejo lefe ro.
You can't fix a house you refuse to step inside of. If you genuinely want to see Nigerian football and the NPFL grow, stop analyzing the attendance from your timeline come out to the stadium, feel the energy, and be part of the culture we are actively building.
Also today is my One year anniversary working with Sporing Lagos ❤️
