Okay firstly I'd like to express my dismay at the poor diction and obvious lack of requisite knowledge Nigerian commentators portray in our NPFL matches and international matches vs other countries.

And secondly why are Nigerian commentators always expressing their support for the Nigerian side? what happened to just giving a fair commentary like it's done in foreign matches i watch on t.v?? you hear statements like "our" boys are playing well.

This lackluster unprofessional show of mediocrity did not start today but the commentator for today's match vs Egypt was very annoying, i mean it irked me so bad i had to volume down the t.v. but on a second thought i felt i should listen and laugh at his dumbfoundness.

As i kept watching the match, i wasn't satisfied with just listening and laughing so i started documenting (yep it was that bad).

So for those of you that didn't watch the match and those that were too angered to listen to the commentary, here are the one's i picked. Enjoy!

*The game is looking 3 points for the super eagles...really??
*Ogene Caro slide the Egypt number 11 and the ref says play on so If he likes he can lie down for the rest of the game....isn't this partial and rude to the opponent??
* As the captain of the side he would get up....(he said this when Mikel was fouled)... so only captains can get back to their feet after being fouled??
* A kick and a yellow card to....to...(trying to check for the players name but probably didn't find it)...to...(then he realised he could just say the country's name)...to Egypt
*Ogene trying to find his man...As it is this time or that time it did not work...
* As it is now the Egyptians would be satisfied going home conceding all 3 points to the super eagles...who told him that??
* He didn't need to do that a goal would still give us 3 points...showing preference and disrespecting the opponent again (this happened when an Egyptian defender cleared out Moses' golden chance to double the lead)
* We have 3mins to play and if you do 3min by 60 seconds we have 180seconds...the eagles should not slip up...d eagles should not slip up...oh! the Egyptians have equalized!

So there you have it, our joker of a commentator. Add up the one's i missed

I don't listen to Nigerian commentators. As a matter of fact, I prefer foreign commentators for even Nigerian matches.

The way those guys (foreign commentators) draw facts and parallels with ease are amazing. Makes football watching interesting.
Ikr. The likes of Ian Darke, Martin Tyler, Alan Parry, Derek Rae, Daniel Mann, Arlo White, Peter Drury and Ray Hudson make the games so much more interesting

Even if Nigeria is in the one playing (eg World cup, Olympics, and age grade competitions that are global), the way those foreign competitor demonstrate knowledge of Nigerian football, you will be proud. But our own commentators, nonsense.

to make matters worse very childish commentary, had to switch over to pes things, the game wasn't worth it.

Funny enough when I was asked the scoreline, I bluntly responded 1-0 in favor of Nigeria, cos when I last checked Naija where leading.

Never knew the chickens didn't see off the game.
