[Folami David]

Sharks midfielder, Chiamaka Madu, has expressed satisfaction with his team's progress after their latest victory over Kaduna United moved them off the foot of the premier league table.
.
The result lifted Sharks to 19th place above Wikki Tourists, and they now have the same number of points as Lobi Stars, who are a place above them.
.
Madu believes it is a reward for their improved form after a poor start to the season, but now wants the team to push on and build momentum.
.
He told supersport.com: "We are all happy that we are finally off the bottom of the log.
.
"The players are happy because they know the effort they have been putting in for some time, and our movement off the bottom spot is a sign of improvement.
.
"The improvement would be gradual and the next step is to move out of the relegation zone.
.
"We have nothing to lose and we'll be gunning for the maximum points irrespective of the opposition and venue of our matches.
.
"We have improved a lot as a team since those early days when we threw away careless points."
.
Madu reckons that following their elimination from the Federation Cup, they are now focused firmly on securing their place in the premiership.
.
"It is rather unfortunate that we lost to Heartland on penalties, because we wanted to compensate our fans with the Federation Cup for enduring so much," he said.
.
"However, we can now concentrate on fighting relegation, and if we take our chances it shouldn't be much of a problem."
.
Sharks play Kwara United in Ilorin this weekend in the Glo Premier League.

I feel our Nigerian league really have to improve if we really want more viewership from Nigeria and Africa as a whole.
