Why won't Nigeria be ranked 60th in the world football? I believe it is not our players performance nor our stadia alone that is being used as a criteria to give position on the FIFA ranking table, our commentators too have their own percentage. To crown it all, our level commentating is too bad.

Nigerian commentator? Hummm! We no talk abt that one

Most of them are not qualified professionally or poorly trained.

Anybody can be a commentator in Nigeria. the most annoying thing is that some of these Nigerian commentators always make it obvious that they're supporting a particular team.

Even as d pitch makes d football boring to watch,listenin to d commentators makes it worst.
De dnt even know d name or any other info about a player.
They keep addressing each player by d no on their jessey.
It sucks to watch npl games

so annoying indeed......there should be a course for that, so all these so called commentators will inprove there commentating skills

We are here this sunny hot afternoon at the Abuja Stadium for the friendly match between the SUPER EAGLES of Nigeria and the SEUN BOYS of em, em NairaList, sorry, Nairaland. I'm Segun Arinze and i'm here with Tony Umez.

No 9 and No 8 for Nigeria will kick the game off. The referee for today's game is,is,.....he's from ghana.
SA: The game has started, we pray that the super eagles will come out winners ijn.
TU: Amen.
SA: Obafemi Martins with the ball, still with the ball, a short pass to odewinge, odewinge curls a powerful shot, oh, what a goal. Goal, Goal, .. the refs blows for a goal kick. But i thought that was a goal.
TU: (Game still goin on)I think it was an offside, the NO 2 for SEUN boys was caught offside.
SA: Okay, that was close, let just keep hoping and praying that our boys continue like this......
TU: Wait a minute, the SEUN BOYS just scored a goal. How on earth did that happened,?
SA: Let's wait for the replay. Oh here it comes, ah, that what i've been saying Keshi should have picked enyeama ahead of aiyenuga. I'm sure van dar sar will save that.
TU: I don't it's the keepers fault. Yobe should have covered for our No 5, instead of staying with their No 9. It's yobo's fault.
SA: (Game still on) what are you telling me. Even my grandmother will stop that goal. What do you know about football by the way. Yobo cant leave his marker. It's the keepers fault.
TU: In your life, don't ever say that agin. That what do i know about football. I've watching football since the days of Okocha at PSG.......

Naija commentators?
No go area ni Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo
I remember watching a local match and the commentators were discussing election tribunal case of a governor in the studio.
They suck abeg

And it is a GOA..... Oh!! Over the bar!

Listen †̥ football commentaries on radio......lol

Some of them are even insultive. I was watching a Nigerian FA cup commentary and the commentary went thus:

"What is Suleiman going to do with the ball in front of the penalty box, ohh nooo, he missed a great opportunity to school. he should change his name from Suleiman to Sulewoman"

yemmy19: Listen †̥ football commentaries on radio......lol

If you're following a commentary on radio, you would think the match ended with twenty goals.

Imagine an Hausa comentator... ;DImagine an Hausa comentator...

They're better because they're very analytical and unbiased and not because they're white. And btw, not all of them are white.

Bt we still hav 2 commend d ones on radio.expecially the nigerian info commentators

Na God go punish you Laugh wan kill me for here

I dont watch d game but i listen to d commentators,comedy all d way

they are heart breakers expecially on radios;

valencia25:

Kai! Shege damboroba Kaita fooolishi boi collectii red cardi...

kai kaita i pass am d ball to akwacha, akwacha i dribble 1;2:3: kai wanna yaro shegiya ne. Akwacha i give d ball to finidi. Kai finidi danburouba. I throw am for ball. Kai walahi talahi me i no gree

These nigerian commentators are d reason why i dont like watchin Nigerian league. Imagine this "Gbenga what do u have to say about this match?....Hmmm
i dont have much to say but its just that this match is like a battle btw the elephant and the grass...... You re right, and when 2 elephants fight it the grass that suffers"

Another 1 "that is jersey no 7 manovering thru the right"

OmoKhary: Bt we still hav 2 commend d ones on radio.expecially the nigerian info commentators

those guys r really trying, even while watching the matchs, i still listen to their commentary with ma ear piece..

afam4eva:
They're better because they're very analytical and unbiased and not because they're white. And btw, not all of them are white.

i've also seen good commentator in nigeria and i enjoy them. most times i use my radio when matches are on. some of those foreign commentators could be so dull for me.

You will loose count of how many times u will hear the phrase "yes indeed". Every sentence by one of the commentator starts with yes indeed.
