    Changes in Barau FC: Where DSP Barau Jibrin fumbles

    According to bookmakers, change is a broad term that encompasses a variety of transformations, such as structural or physical changes etc, which alter a body’s appearance, look or composition without changing its composition.

    It is a transition that is particularly enormous, significant which frequently has a lasting effect, radically changing conditions, customs, or structures.

    To put it another way, it involves a shift in human behavior and activities that necessitates adaptation on the part of individuals, organizations, employees, and legislators in order to manage the opportunities and difficulties that follow.

    It suggests a noteworthy shift or a substantial divergence from the accepted norm, having weight and enduring impact.

    Growth, adaptation, and advancement all depend on change since it spurs creativity, opens up new possibilities, and aids in overcoming obstacles.

    Therefore it is only by accepting changes that one can prevent stagnation and build resilience by adjusting to new situations or circumstances.

    So, change is a necessary aspect of life because it allows you to grow both personally and professionally, adjust to a world that is always changing, and become the greatest version of yourself.

    In general, change refers to any alteration or transition, albeit the precise term varies depending on the situation.

    The term “change” describes a dynamic phenomenon, which means that it is a continuous, dynamic, and often unpredictable process rather than a static event.

    And in order to bring about change, one must first recognize an issue(s) and then develop a driven, workable plan to solve it by effecting changes in the situation at hand.

    Many people, particularly football enthusiasts or supporters, were thrilled when the NNL Barau FCs were promoted to the Nigeria Premier Football League earlier this year.

    And the reason for this is because they will have the opportunity to see two crucial games and outstanding teams in Kano: the first for Barau FC and the second for Kano Pillars FC.

    Furthermore, many people believed that Barau FC would be a team to watch when the NPFL began after their outstanding group and final eight NNL spectacular campaign.

    Remember that they advanced to the NPFL since they won more games in their group campaign and did a great job in the Super Eight.

    Additionally, the team’s owner, DSP Barau Jibrin, urged them to win every NPFL game in order to guarantee a continental ticket for the next football season when he welcomed them following their Super Eight victory.

    When the team’s owner hosted the team prior to the league, the players received a massage in hopes of winning a continental ticket.

    And because of the owner’s moral and financial support for the squad and its young, talented players, many people expect the team to surprise the league.

    Unfortunately, the state’s supporters and fans have not witnessed that in the team’s games because, other from yesterday’s victory over Kun Khalifa FC in the six-week-old league, it has not yet provided the expected result.

    And as a result of such setbacks, there had been a lot of demand from all quarters for a change that would look into the club’s issues and fix them quickly.

    Everyone watches and waits to see what the club’s owner, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, would do to adress the situation.

    Even though the club was founded in June 2024 by the Deputy Senate President of Nigeria’s senate with the goal of “making it a global brand” and assisting in reducing youth unemployment in Kano State, he will not stand by and let the squad struggle.

    The team which undergone a number of changes since making its debut in the country’s football arena. It began its ascent to fame by competing in the third-tier league in Nigeria, followed by the NLO, the Nigeria National League, and, most recently, the NPFL.

    The team’s first change was firing some players and adding new ones while the team’s second change was that of Coach Ladan Bosso taking over as head of the technical department of the team.

    All of these adjustments, along with numerous others, were made to get the club ready for the ongoing NPFL games.

    The squad is currently fighting for survival in the relegation zone, so all those changes, along with strong and fat remuneration package for the players, coaching staff, and officials, is not paying off.

    And it is obvious that the team needs some adjustments to prevent relegation given its poor performance in the current league season, which started a few weeks ago.

    And that clarified the reasons behind the administrative adjustments made to the team’s organizational and administrative structure by Distinguish Sanetor Barau Jibrin, popularly known as Maliya, the owner of the Barau Football Club.

    The development followed the team’s unsatisfactory and subpar performance in the league where the team now is among the last four on the table with only five points from five matches.

    It is a pity that despite the significant investment in the team by its proprietor, the team’s poor performance in the NPFL is hardly notable as its position on the table, which places them among the last four out of the twenty competing teams, speaks for itself.

    The club is now among the last four with just five points from five games, the situation which not only terrifies DSP Barau Jibrin, club’s followers but Kano sports enthusiasts alike.

    That led to the creation of two new roles in the club’s leadership structure: general manager and vice president.

    In order to rescue the team from its current predicament, DSP Barau Jibrin appointed Dominic Iorfa as general manager and Alhaji Kabiru Baita as vice president, respectively, in an effort to identify and reverse whatever is causing the team’s subpar performance in the current league.

    DSP Jibrin expects Baita to contribute a lot from his experience, integrity, and a robust network inside Nigerian football to the squad, while Dominic is anticipated to contribute his extensive knowledge of the Nigerian football sector.

    “These appointments reflect our commitment to excellence, growth, and delivering top-tier football for our supporters.

    “We believe Dominic and Alhaji Baita will help Barau FC reach new heights and make our fans proud,” the club release explained.

    Although I congratulate the two on their appointment and wish them luck, I continue to ask myself why these two? And why not others?

    Their extensive league experience makes their selection beneficial, but I still perceive a lot of hostility in it because it seems like a setback for the masses of Kano people who want to get part in order to get attention.

    Some of us believe it is oblivious, old fashion and unacceptable for the state or the progress of the game to reuse people who have served their time.

    This is because Kano State, as a centre of excellence and a sports hub, has many young, talented, energetic and highly educated individuals who, if given the chance to serve, will outperform the two aforementioned.

    Furthermore, Kano State is a football-loving state with a significant number of young, talented football players, coaches, supporters, and administrators who can achieve the desired result for the team at any time.

    Therefore, it would be equivalent to disregarding the aforementioned index to bring in the former chairman of Kano Pillars and his counterpart from Lobi Football teams to save floating Barau FC from relegation.

    No one is discounting their abilities due to their numerous contributions in their former clubs, but others—particularly the ones listed above—who are numerous in the state ought to have been given the opportunity to serve as well.

    The majority of us think that DSP Barau ought to have consulted more people and organizations before putting forth such changes, which, if poorly managed, will have little to no impact on the team.

    This is due to the fact that we require adjustments that if implemented holistically, will serve its intended purpose.

    Saving the team from relegation is currently the most important thing, since this will undoubtedly improve his reputation and political standing in the state.

    DSP Barau Maliya should surround himself with highly educated and experienced people as a politician so that they can advise him before making judgments.

    Furthermore, I think the club’s technical department is experiencing a significant issue that needs to be looked into before it’s too late.

    Everyone knows that despite the opportunities created, the team’s weak attacking force kept them away from scoring.

    I thought the coach would look for or suggest a solution by asking for any, but regrettably, he hasn’t done so, not even from neighbouring countries.

    Furthermore, the coach must be instructed to either start winning, pull the team out of difficulties, or fire them because the league is moving forward day in and day out with no discernible results.

    Given these shortcomings, I had assumed that rather than choking the management, the owner would assign the Technical Advisor to find a sustainable solution to the club’s problems.

    We are all aware that players, not managers, are the ones who play and achieve the desired outcomes under the direction of their coaches.

    Although management is crucial, there are a number of drawbacks to overcrowding them, including unclear responsibilities and competing priorities among managers, which can slow down decision-making and decrease accountability.

    Additionally, because there are so many managers, it might cause a lack of cohesiveness and fragment command, which raises costs.

    The majority of us are concerned that these two recently appointed officials will take control of the team, discredit the people they met, and possibly begin abusing their positions, which would cause further problems for the group.

    I don’t see how choking the club’s management can resolve its problems, but it will only get worse if caution isn’t taken.

    Most of us believe that keeping the team from relegation requires a balanced strategy that emphasizes strong defense, a flexible attacking style, excellent coaching, and a strong sense of teamwork.

    Ideally, the team must aim for more points by winning more games at home and drawing more away games in order to survive.

    According to bookmakers, change is a broad term that encompasses a variety of transformations, such as structural or physical changes etc, which alter a body’s appearance, look or composition without changing its composition.

    It is a transition that is particularly enormous, significant which frequently has a lasting effect, radically changing conditions, customs, or structures.

    Growth, adaptation, and advancement all depend on change since it spurs creativity, opens up new possibilities, and aids in overcoming obstacles.

    Therefore it is only by accepting changes that one can prevent stagnation and build resilience by adjusting to new situations or circumstances.

    So, change is a necessary aspect of life because it allows you to grow both personally and professionally, adjust to a world that is always changing, and become the greatest version of yourself.

    I wish you luck.

    I was a staff of the then Triumph Newspapers, with keen interest in sports journalism which drove me to the unit where I was supported and oiled in the dynamics of modern sports reporting by my mentor/friend, Sani Zaria, the then Group Sports Editor of the Triumph. And when he left in 1995, I tried to sustain the spirit against all odds with a column sportesye. But when The Triumph was closed, I was moved to Kano Polytechnic as a lecturer until my retirement last 3 years, which gives me time to return to what I know best , the recreation of the SPORTS EYE.
