Kano Pillars fans’ support is beyond imagination, Nwagua reveals

By Taofeek Babalola

Kano Pillars forward Nwagua Nyima is on cloud nine over the maximum support he and his teammates are enjoying from their fans during home games.

 Nwagua joined Sai Masu Gida from Lobi Stars during this mid-season transfer and his experience of fans attendance at the Sani Abacha Stadium every match day is beyond imagination.

The multi-purpose stadium has a capacity of 16,000 fans but the former Shooting Stars Sports Club of Ibadan hit-man told SportingLife that he feels 27 thousand fans cheering them every weekend.

“Kano fans love beautiful football. Initially, you hear people say it’s a must win but since I arrived here I have noticed that if you do six to seven touches, you will win their hearts. Although, goals really matter. For example, we played very well over the weekend (against Plateau United) but all we got was a draw and they (fans) hailed us because we gave them good game. You can see the turnout for yourself. I think about 27 thousand fans every weekend,” Nwagua said to SportingLife.
