To his band of admirers, many of them sports journalists, Oyuiki Obaseki, the Chairman of the Nigeria Premier League is the best thing that has ever happened to football in Nigeria. As the pioneer chairman of the league, many Nigerians applauded when he secured one of the biggest sponsorship packages in the history of Nigerian football from Globacom Telecommunications Limited.

When Obaseki was having problems with the Nigeria Football Federation and the National Sports Commission over the sponsorship money, the sporting media queued behind him.

Determined and resolute to use the money for the league's revival, Obaseki rechristened himself, ‘The Moving Train' with a vow to crush whoever stood in his way and the movement of the moving train that was determined to move the Nigeria league to the next level.

Many reporters were persecuted for backing Obaseki. Many were blackmailed and intimidated, some almost lost their jobs, while a few unlucky ones like this reporter were sued for libel and they spent a lot of money on legal fees before the courts dismissed the suits against them. . .
