2024/2025 NPFL season: Remo Stars Assistant Coach, Lama, commends Ogunmodede over leadership style

Posted : 01 April 2025

Sulaimon Folarin 'Lama,' the assistant coach of Remo Stars, the 2024/2025 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) runaway leaders, has praised the team's Technical Adviser, Daniel Ogunmodede, for his leadership acumen.  


Folarin also expressed deep appreciation for the trust and support he has received from the team’s head coach, Ogunmodede, popularly called 'Ijaball.'  


According to Lama, his success as an assistant coach is largely due to Ogunmodede’s belief in him and the other coaches.  


Having worked together for three years, the synergy between the two coaches has been remarkable.  


This season, Coach Ogunmodede, who is also part of the Nigeria National Team coaching crew, missed 10 NPFL games due to his national assignment with the Super Eagles.  


In his absence, Folarin Lama, Coach Yinka Shokabi, and other coaches in the team stepped up brilliantly—winning seven games and drawing three, remaining unbeaten both home and away.  


In an interview, Lama heaped praise on Ogunmodede, acknowledging that his faith in him, his immediate assistant Yinka Shokabi, and the other coaches played a key role in the team’s impressive results.  


"We've played 10 matches in the absence of the head coach, who was on national duty, and we won seven while drawing three.  


"This is a result of Coach Ogunmodede’s trust in me, my immediate assistant, Coach Yinka Shokabi, and the other coaches."  


He further emphasized the motivation within the squad whenever Ogunmodede is away:  


"Each time Coach Dan is on a national team assignment, the assistant coaches and players want to do more. We want to show our love and respect for him and repay his trust in us."  


Despite admitting that working without the charismatic Ogunmodede is challenging, Folarin Lama pointed to their strong bond as the driving force behind their success.  


"It’s not easy, but the trust and synergy we’ve built for almost three years help a lot. I understand his philosophy, and the results speak for themselves.  


"I doubt any other coach has gone 10 NPFL games unbeaten this season. That shows our level of understanding."
