still wondering why Enyimba FC doesn't have a nairaland handle and page!

Let's start with the LMC constitution it's so porous imagine fielding an ineligible player for a match n the player even scores a goal. The LMC could not mete out any disciplinary actions against the club. Must we always use excuses to circumvent justice.#istandwithfayose.

That one small sef. The thing is the LMC and the clubs really needs to step up. To drive followership of this league is not so hard. Why can't this clubs buy drones to cover their matches and put it on youtube page or and highlighted version on their FB page or twitter handle. Even if the drone issue might seems so expensive, why can't the clubs buy TV cameras and do recordings by themselves and have an in-house online TV station where fans can get to see their matches live. Even my church sef dey stream services with 4 cameras. Why does things dat seem normal in other climes, gets to Nigeria and becomes unattainable, it baffles me.
