I am relishing the growing euphoria and the renewing enthusiasm we are currently having on our Domestic league.it is only based on this spirited sentiment that we can bring the only league we can call our own back to the level it was in the 80's and early 90's.this was an era when an average man in the Nigeria street is much aware of the exploits of the club sides of our great league. We have done it before we can even do it better this time around! We have to believe in our own because self belief definitely is the greatest asset anyone can have. If we say we can we can if we say we can't definitely we are right. I urge us to keep the tempo despite the short comings in our league. Who knows our league can be a multi-billion dollars industry in the future we just have to believe!
