Last Updated: Monday, November 8th, 2004 HOME | Previous Page Enyimba can still do it, says Ladipo By Pius Anakali Snr. Correspondent, Lagos   President General of the Nigerian Supporters Club, Dr Raul Ladipo, has predicted a good outing for the nation’s representative in the ongoing CAF Championship League, Enyimba. Ladipo, in an interview, said he based his optimism on Enyimba’s away record, which he said is enough to disturb any team, including their opponent Esperance of Tunisia in Saturday’s tie. He noted that on a good day, the People’s Elephant can be very difficult to beat. “Enyimba is no team you can push aside, whether they are playing away from home or even playing on their home soil. It is true they have fumbled on few occasions in their home matches but that does not take anything away from them,” Ladipo said. According to him, Enyimba have been able to turn the table against their opponents before even at a time when they are least expected, adding that they can do it again. While also commenting on Rangers’ performance on the continent, Ladipo commended the team, saying they have done well this season. He insisted, however, that they will need to put more effort in the last away match this weekend in Angola. He advised that the Antelopes should forget their last victory and should work towards winning their match against Petro Athletico of Angola this weekend. Commenting on FIFA’s decision to hammer the nation if the obnoxious Decree 101 is still in place by December 31, Ladipo stated that Nigeria would escape FIFA’s hammer, saying, however, that the football authority should do all it can to ensure that the vexatious decree is repealed before the deadline. “I know FIFA will not ban us,” Ladipo said, “what they are saying is that government should hands off its control of football, but handing off does not mean that government should also hands off its support for the game.”   Copyright� 2004.
