I don't know what happened to Nigeria honestly
As a kid my dad takes me to onikan stadium to watch match mind you it's Nigerian league and the whole stadium would be full....
I don't know why we lost interest in our own or mayb the economy doest permit us or no time

Richy4:


The stadium is good enough bro trust me based on their standard... It wouldn't cost them a billion to construct a borehole... Link it inside the stadium with a commercial sprinkler to provide water...

The reason there was no grasses was because the grasses were neglected because of no water ...the beauty of grasses is manure and water...

The premier League u were watching, halftime performance of every match, u can see sprinklers watering the grasses even when it was raining....

I Was not saying that they should do it the big boys way abroad... They should do it based on their standard... But I don't think the grasses I saw on that picture was Nigerian standard... They should be better than that

aribisala0:
The economy
is key I also went to Onikan to support Stationery stores. In those days our money had value
however clubs were sponsored by the likes of

Abiola
NEPA
New Nigerian Bank

etc
Now clubs have to adjust and operate without sponsors as viable businesses

watersideboys:


My friend go and sit down...... why are you not there watching the match

anonimi:


It is not the economy alone, if at all.
It is the availability of satellite television and internet access for global news, sports and entertainment coupled with the private sector ownership of sports in the developed countries.
We clearly don’t want to develop.

CharleyBright:
So?
What's your point?
We should leave correct Premier League Matches that we watch in the comfort of our homes and go to watch yeye local fixed matches??
Nigerian league matches that winners are not decided on the field of play, but in boardrooms as determined by which club Ammaju Pinnick favours.

Mtcheeew.

jieta:
W :see pitch

Lanrelagboi:
it is a match between Abeokuta Stormers (home) and Ibom Youths from Akwa Ibom.

I was invited to come to Abeokuta from lagod by a friend in Abeokuta.

I just admit, the atmosphere is great, fans are good and the match quality is great.

Security is also very tight to prevent violence.

Ticket was free

Why construct a borehole for a city stadium in the 21st century?
Are we so backward and primitive?
Or we are just low expectations people who wallow in poverty of the collective

Good testimony from you bro.

This season NPFL is taking a shape which is different from the the previous seasons.
It is quite interesting to know that till week 10, two teams in the NPFL, Remo Stars and Rivers United were being invincible in the league.
Rivers United lost her first match on week 11. Remo Stars is currently losing her match (week 12) by a lone goal away, though may equalise before the end of the match to continue the invincible.

The problem with our league is the NFF and NFL. I wish it can be better organised and be televised.

Modified: Final whistle!
Remo stars lost
No more invincible

premierlead:
Thank your star it doesn't involved Kano pillar, nasarawa united or any of this jihadist/terrorist club side, you would have blamed yourself for leaving Lag for Abeokuta

badaoyeyemi:
Don't worry... we'll come out stronger in the next game (Remo Stars)

Sensiblerealist:
I don't think any of our teams is on the continent this season. I mean in yne group stage proper.
That is a pity though. Supposedly when the standard was improving, that came the time the continental teams fumbled the most.
I don't know if it's the technical/tactical quality or management issues

aribisala0:
There are no thugs in England?
What do you know about football?
All the racist chanting in Europe is done by clerics?

Omniman:
I grew up watching street soccer.

I have seen players display extraordinary talents and I was like damn this guys should be playing in the big league.

aribisala0:
A functional league in Nigeria should be commercially viable
There is no reason why our league cannot be better and bigger than that of Belgium or Portugal
This is where we need visionary leadership at NFF
It will not happen overnight but if we set a 30 year goal we will make progress
Imagine Nigerians going to play in Sudan!!

aribisala0:
You have bad mouth
and are a loser. It is very easy talking rubbish

What have you contributed to improving anything in Nigeria?

How do we get from A to B is what visionaries ask .
How old is football?
30 years ago Nigerian kids did not listen to Nigerian music today . Now we are listened to all over the world
30 years ago there was no Premiership League

A lot can happen in 30 years .

The important thing is vision and belief and to start
NOT

Bad mouth and negativity

backbencher:


Well, the premier league is successful because they pay high ticket prices to watch a match....

Tickets at leagues in the EPL cost between 35-90 pounds , which is between 19000 to 55000 naira. (Before the EPL, English stadiums were hell zones and a mess, and ticket prices were cheap.). Nigerians won't decide to pay N10000 for popular side self.

Also, there is TV rights money. EPL from the word go sold its TV rights to SKY for a five year, 304 million pounds deal in 1992, and the recent deal is worth 5.3 billion pounds. No media house in Nigeria or africa has that money lying around for such a deal.

U know comments like these just make me wonder, why are majority of you from the south east have genetic hate for northerners especially Muslims.... Alternatively, the average aboki doesn't even care about u guys....Si, why do u hate them soo much?
