MFM the Barca of Nigeria football I can't wait to welcome them next season


Ikorodu United's promotion might be suprising to some but in the real sense they are currently Nigeria's richest club going by its current owners!! Coached by experienced Morris Coreman who has coached over 10 clubs here in Nigeria for over 15years and still counting!!!!

Hope u know they have a clubside in ABSA

Last season they showed interest in acquiring Stationary Stores FC but Lagos govt renieged today SStores have not only been relegated to the Division 3 but ve gone comatose. Recall Lagos govt bought over Union Bank same last season and renamed it Stationary stores in the bid to reawaken the dying soccer spirit of fans in Lagos since stationary stores command the die hard soccer fans mostly made up of retirees who still bask in the euphoric nostalgic higihaga the old club glories bestowed. And yes they trooped out in their large numbers to support the team last season in the NNL, the old rivalry between 3sC and Sstores really came to the fore thereby recording the highest watched match last season in the NNL both at Water front and Adamasingba.

Back to the topic I see a gradual revolution in our league currently we have 4 clubs not owned by govt playing in the league and in the next 10years I can bet we will have more privately owned clubs playing in the top flights.

If you check the current table standings in the NNL you will notice Private owned clubs like Firstbank fc, J Atete, Goround fc were all contenders for promotion. If they replicate this same form next season, I see one or two from these to be promoted also and the chain continues!

God bless the MFM church
All these youth centric initiatives are to be emulated by other big churches.
The first class monetary awards and now the promotion of youths and football.
I remember those boys won the first church world cup last year or was it this year?
