2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 36: Fearless El-Kanemi Warriors beat league champions, Remo Stars

Posted : 08 May 2025

A game that many believed Remo Stars FC should have won to assert their authority as the dominant force in the league ended in a humiliating defeat, as the hosts, El-Kanemi Warriors of Maiduguri, triumphed with two unanswered goals.


It was a humbling defeat for the new league champions, Remo Stars, who had already secured the league title.


The hosts, on the other hand, with aspirations of finishing with a respectable points tally in the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL), humbled the Sky Blue Stars.


The Maiduguri side handed them a 2-0 defeat, serving as a reminder that no game is a walkover in the 2024/2025 NPFL Match Day 36 fixtures.


Goals in the 58th and 64th minutes gave the Desert Warriors the much-needed win over the league champions.


Earlier, before the match, Remo Stars FC coach Daniel Ogunmodede expressed deep satisfaction with the historic achievement of winning the coveted league title, stating that the victory was a long-awaited reward for perseverance.


“This is a reward for hard work, patience, and perseverance. We’ve been working for years to achieve this, and I’m glad it came at the right time,” he said.


The coach downplayed suggestions that his side faced any psychological pressure despite fierce competition from other title contenders, emphasizing that he remained calm and focused throughout the campaign.


“I was never under any pressure,” he said. “The only pressure I feel is the personal desire to keep improving myself every day. That’s what drives me, not the fear of failure.”


He also praised the collaborative spirit within the club, attributing their success to the united effort from players, management, technical staff, and supporters.


“This is a team sport. Everyone played their role. The club president invested and stayed patient, the management did a great job, my assistants and backroom staff worked tirelessly, the players gave everything, and the fans stood by us. It was a full team effort,” he explained.


Ogunmodede noted that the people of Ikenne and Ogun State at large deserved to share in the pride of the achievement, describing the title as a significant milestone for the community.
