If only our league could be packaged like what we have in Egypt or SA i can confidently say it will be a haven of sort for players from every continent.. I remember back then Bendel Insurance also had some brazilians in their rank, one other club can't recall the name now had a couple of Croats or Yugoslavs in their team as well, our league is that competitive.. Na just management/organisation dey kill us.


And we need more people like Dr Ifeanyi Uba to come invest in the league, that man is doing a very very good job, kudos to him and his team. It can only get better hopefully.
