Only Akwa United were the only club to pick an away point out of the four matches
The matchday two fixtures of the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) got underway on Wednesday, with four games played across different venues.
The Ayodeji Ayeni-led Akwa United team forced Enyimba to a barren draw in Aba.
Just as Coach Finidi George complained during his interview with PREMIUM TIMES last week, inconsistency has set in for the People Elephants just two games into the new season.
Having picked maximum points on the road in their opening game of the season, Enyimba failed to build on the bright start against the Promise Keepers, who on their part lost their season opener at home to Bendel Insurance a fortnight ago.
Akwa United threatened to get the opening goal ahead of their hosts in the sixth minute but Ahmadu Liman's shot was parried for the Promise Keepers' first corner.
A minute later, Enyimba's Chijioke Mbaoma shot was cleared by Bolu Sholumade before Liman's off-target attempt in the 12th minute.
10 minutes later, Akwa United Onyekachi Nwaiwu's shot drifted away from the goal.
Afterwards, exchanges of attempts were recorded between both sides for the first half of the game which ended in a barren draw.
The situation was not any different in the second half as both teams still failed to break the deadlock.

Though Akwa United's goalkeeper, Jean Efala, was kept busy in the last five minutes of the game, he did well; preventing the Elephants from getting their first home win of the season.
