Accomplishments |
| |
|
| Top among Ogbunigwe’s accomplishments is reaching the Nzenwa Championship game for three consecutive years in 2002, 2003, and 2004. In 2003, Ogbunigwe finished at the top of the table in the regular season. The team holds the NSL record for margin of victory after it annihilated Raccah Rovers 6-0 in 2005 during the regular season. |

Key Players |
| |
|
| Felix Ayuk has emerged as the team’s most important player. His energy and quality is peerless. Upfront, Ayomikun Adeleye holds the team’s hopes for goals. Veteran Osy Otigba has for years been the NSL top goalkeeper but his form declined in 2005 and he is now regarded as a notch below Kevin Wong of Inter Nationale. |

|
2007 Outlook |
| |
|
| Ogbunigwe has been gradually rebuilding with younger players gradually replacing the veterans. This was responsible for the team’s poor finish in the 2005 season. Not much is expected from the team this year but it seems likely that Ogbunigwe’s midfield and defense will need further enhancement for it to be compete for the championship. | |
