I can see countries like Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa and Tunisia listed there . I asked this because i read sometime ago that Nigerian league is the best in Africa.

Mods please promote this to the frontpage.

I'm sure even google would not be able to answer this question.. Bt seriously, we are seriously messed up, nothing is working..

You know the answer to your own question. Nobody takes Nigeria seriously.

@OP Do our local television stations even cover the premier league? Nigerian Premier League is very difficult to follow due to poor organisations...although i can't say same for other african leagues

Nigeria is the best league in Africa ke? Na LIE, Na paper work o,

the nigerian premier league is the only league in which an away team cannot win the home team in its stadium.

i have been wondering too, maybe livescore should give us the answer/reason

Livescore ko, deadscore ni

IFFHS (International Federation of Football History and Statistics) rates the Nigerian Premier League as 24th strongest league in the world, top in Africa. Check here.

IF U ASK ME, NA WHO I GO ASK?

The games are reasonably well-covered by DSTV.

Then the IFFHS are mad and they dont know what they doing, Nigeria do not even go near 10th in Africa and should even be ranked in the world in the first place, which useless 24th, hw did they got there, or league with oldest player in the world, we are Number 1 now if that what they mean

Why? I don't know. Mayb nw dat NPL s d best n Africa, it ll b included @ d start of d nxt NPL season.
But ds r sum common man reasons
1. NPL has a very bad organiser. (NFF/NPL Board).
2. D stadiums r alwez empty 2 d extent dat u ll not diff btw d home & away team except derby matches lyk Enyimba Vs Rangers, Kano Pillars Vs 3SC.
3. It's very diff 4 an away team 2 win a match.
4. Tell GEJ 2 tell d Minister of Youths Sports Dev. 2 tell d NFF/NFA Chairman 2 tell d NPL Chairman dat Nigerians wana c der home team lift d Club World Cup.

Very True

Because it will be a huge risk, you just cant rule out the possibility of match fixing.

and which league is better than Nigerian league in africa?

Livescore.com is not a charity. No matter how strongly NPL is rated, it will need to be commercially viable for them to consider having correspondents who will post minute by minute scores unto the website. This is one thing.

The second thing is reliability and professionalism. The question now is, do we have reliable and professional people in Nigeria willing to visit each match and post updates of scores, cards, etc unto the livescore website? (hint: the answer does not start with letter 'Y').

Having said that, it is not a bad idea for someone to take this as a business 'opporcho' to approach livescore.com and offer his/her services. But it must be commercially viable for both parties. Livescore.com is not obliged to post live feeds of the NPL games simply because of any FIFA, IFFHS or NEPA ranking.

So whoever sees this as a viable business can (and should easily be able to) convince livescore.com that:

1). Nigeria has a large football following and having the local league scores on their website will be useful/profitable
2). Nigeria has the largest (and fastest growing) internet and mobile web market in Africa, so accessibility is not an issue
3). There'll be local companies who will be happy to advertise, if items 1 and 2 above can drive Nigerian traffic to livescore.com
4). The perpetually corrupt NPL and NFA bodies can be approached to subsidise the costs of having web 'correspondents' at each game
5). The proprietors of newspapers in Nigeria should be happy to use RSS to syndicate livescore.com results IF they pay a fee

Omo, if to say I get di time now, business don start be dat o!

Hope someone can take this up. I am a long time fan/user of livescore.com and it wont hurt once in a while to know the scores between Warri Warriors FC vs. Borno Bombers United

Such data are unfortunately not available but what i am trying to say that Nigerian League is highly rated because we compete continentally and Nigerian league is competitive i.e no clear cut winner

Livescore.com is a betting site.
If there were tons of Nigerians betting on the NPL, they would find a way to get the scores there.
After all, DSTV is taking the trouble to cover the games (not live feeds though). That's how the IFFHS managed to assess the league's competitiveness in the first place; a South African media company taking the trouble to cover a domestic competition, which the local TV stations are unable to cover.

Don't you know that the possiblity of match fixing is minimixed when players are well paid?

With all of england,spain and italian huge player salaries match fixing still goes on

You obviously never heard of John Fashanu, Bruce Grobbelar, and the more recent Italian Calciopoli (1 and 2)
