The English Premier League is one of the most exciting football leagues in the world. Thus, it is unsurprising that many Nigerians are addicted to it.

Every weekend, viewing centres are filled out with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City among other EPL clubs. It is, therefore, near impossible to end the attachment of Nigerians to the premier league. Nonetheless, Jumia Travel identifies 5 reasons Nigerians should stop watching the EPL.

The Nigerian League is now exciting and better organized

Since the league management body started managing the Nigerian League, they have made concerted efforts to make the league more exciting and interesting. They have ensured that the stadiums are TV friendly and the players and fans obey rules and regulation. Most importantly, the matches are on Pay TV. This has encouraged players to give out their best and you now see a Nigerian league player scoring a hat-trick.

You get real life stadium experience in the NPFL

To watch a Nigerian League match is very affordable and inexpensive. You don’t have to break the bank. Except you have a deep pocket, you cannot travel the England to watch Arsenal. So, with the NPFL, you can watch Kano Pillars live in Kano or watch Remo Stars in Sagamu. You get the stadium experience.

You can support professionally run private clubs

Unlike in the past when the 20 clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League are government owned, there are now privately owned clubs that are professionally managed. We have The Mountain of Fire Football Club, Ifeanyi Ubah FC, and Remo stars. You can support these clubs because they churn out EPL like football week in, week out.

Nigerian Stadiums are safe

Many Nigerians have the mindset that whenever they visit the stadium, they will be harassed and waylaid. This is in the past. They are now safe because it is now incumbent on clubs to provide security for fans and players alike.

We will support our own

Nigerians don’t seem to support their own. Like they have a knack for foreign products, it is the same for football. Even the Nigerian Super Eagles team is coached by a foreigner. We stop watching the premier league and support the Nigerian league by going to stadiums to watch their favorite Nigerian club.

For every single damn reason you listed above, I can list an alternate reason as to why Nigerians won't watch their own NPFL either Live or on TV for that matter.

The issues plaguing our own football league runs deeper than you might actually think.

Come and beat me

You are already beating yourself.
No need for any bonus beating from me.
Moreover, I cannot waste my energy for such. The same way that I don't waste my time and money watching oyinbo leagues who have described me as a waste of oxygen.

Dear op, I support your opinion our stadia are now safe and I can assure any football lover of a good game. I am supporter of sunshine stars football club of Akure, and I am most times at the Akure township stadium for our home games. Our league is more organized now. Attached are pictures from our last home league against MFM which we lost 0 -1 and no trouble.

The incidence that happened on the opening day of the NPFL in the match between Kano Pillars and Ifeanyi Ubah among other ugly incidence, is enough to discredit this whole write up.

I used to be a huge fan of the Nigeria League and support the great Ranch bees of Kaduna. But an incidence I had at the Ranch bees Stadium( now Kaduna township stadium) in a match between Ranch bees and Kaduna United years ago is one that I cannot forget and has made me cautious when it comes to Nigeria football.

Though I follow the league as much as I can, but outside ranch bees, I haven't supported any team and cannot.

Mind you, the excitement of the EPL, is incomparable. Do you know the organisers of the Bundesliga and even French league, have not becareful when arranging league fixtures so that it doesn't clash with EPL else, they may not have much TV and even stadium followership?
Quite True.
