Ikwerreman has had many experiences and escapades as he has crisscrossed the country to watch 1000 NPFL games and counting. (Even if we tend to focus on the 404 chopping ones).
Let's celebrate one of our own and an authority on the domestic league.
Well done Ikwerreman.

Acheru is one of the longest serving NPFL club media manager having served for 12 years as Media Officer of the defunct Dolphins FC before joining Go Round FC where he occupies the position of Media Chief/Head of Marketing. An effective Media Manager, Acheru was the first to deploy digital media in Nigeria for mass distribution of club information at Dolphins which has led to the increasing embrace of digital media by his colleagues.
Dikko said it is remarkable that Acheru, the Media manager of Go Round has been able to track his attendance at matches since 1989 when he watched his first league game in Port Harcourt between Sharks FC and NEPA, two clubs that are now defunct.
