This is super cool. Now I don't have to travel to the USA to live the American dream. What we have here is our very own small slice of America in Lagos. It will take some getting used to. A bit awkward, but we will certainly get the hang of it on the long run.

American football is a very lucrative sport. Far more lucrative than football. As at today, American Football is the highest grossing sport in the world. The Dallas Cowboys of the USA is the richest sport club in the world with net-worth value of $5billion. Only real Madrid came close with $4billion. I am certain Nigeria will definitely profit from this sport if we look into it.

Hmmmn. After the discovery of our own barnet omalu you still want to engage in this kind of sport that exposes 40% of it's own player to CTE chronic traumatic encephalopathy. This trauma makes them to get depressed and commit suicide.

Good

It's a welcome development. But this need to start from the grassroot if it must succeed.

Leave American football for Americans, let's develop our league first, well it's a nice development though

Lucrative but very risky too , it comes with a lot of brain injuries and spinal cord injuries, our health system is not good enough to handle such cases

This ur analysis get as im be oooo. Though football may not be as lucrative as d american football, but it is second or third to it. still, 9ja football na wack.........after investing a lot into it.

The thing is Nigeria should grow her economy.....she should pull out 80% of her population out of poverty then all other things will follow.....the sports will naturally grow, the education will naturally improve, the infrastructures will b world class etc.
