Do you know the funny thing? Many folks who deride the NPFL and praise the Europeans to high heavens always only refer to the EPL, La Liga, German Bundesliga, Serie A and the French Ligue Une. Many people here have never seen a full game of the Austrian Bundesliga or any game from leagues in Hungary, Finland, Bulgaria etc before.

All football leagues in the world can never have the same high profile no matter how well run. I don't expect that the NPFL must match the EPL before I regard it and watch the games with pride. Folks in Austria throng to the stadium to watch Red Bull Salzburg vs SV Kapfenberg despite that these clubs may never become Manchester United or Bayern Munich. My best mate works in Shagamu and he hardly misses Remo Stars' home games even though the team isn't doing well.

This is the beauty of football...and this is what many Nigerians who are now addicted to television football from Europe miss out on.

Your points re so valid... Thumbs UP

Nice one @OP.

Of course, many sad lads on NL will take the opportunity to pour thier sorrows on a great thread like this one because of their deliberate hate and ignorance. To some of us who have followed the NPFL over the years, we can only fee excited about this post.

If we have proper stats, I dare say that Gambo Mohammed would be shown to be the best striker EVER to grace our top flight league. He has been quite consistent with his goals ever since he joined Kano Pillars and his goal sense, positioning, powerful shot and head skills is second to none. Matter of fact, he has scored more goals in the local game than Rashidi Yekini, Segun Odegbami, Duke Udi et al. It is just unfortunate that he will be more remembered by most for his odd miss agaisnt Iker Cassillas at the FIFA Confed Cup Brazil 2013.

You're right

You see most people don't follow and never wish to know more about the local league all in the name of making European leagues top priority than ours.. And when you provide them certain look in and insights on the NPFL what most of em do is criticize, look at the negative and all ..

We need to brand , publicized , hype even if its to over hype what we have.. Most of this European clubs we clamour on also has age cheats, bad administration and all..

A bit of support for the domestic league won't hurt


The blame is with the government ,organizers and the system in whole..

kjhova:
Dear @OP,

It is sad that the system we operate under in Nigeria will force someone like Chinedu Udoji to claim a dubious age. It is easy for most NL comments here to ridicule him for this yet many here are on thier jobs with falsified ages or at least some dubious document or claim or some other.

You nail it man.. Such an hypocrite system

Divay22:
Op where are they now?

Most of em still playing in the NPFL

woodmood:
Good compilation but the list is incomplete without goalkeeper JOHN GAADI.
I think he should replace Ibinegbu on the list.

Once again, good job.

Thanks for the heads up

1. Rabiu Ali – Kano pillars

Another player over the age of 35, the midfielder won three NPFL titles with pillars between 2011 and 2014. The skipper of the Sai Masu Gida he has shown he becomes better like an old wine.

He won the latest version of the VAT wonder goal for his header against ABS in the match day 26 encounter in Ilorin. Apart from that, he scored a screamer against Remo stars in shagamu in another 1-1 draw to show he still has the spark despite being a 36 year old.

He was the captain of the B team of the super Eagles, leading them to third place at the 2014 CHAN in South Africa and also the 2016 edition where Nigeria dropped out at the group stage.

Other mentions are Adamu Muhammed, Dele Ajiboye, Cletus Itodo, King Osanga, Theophilus Afelokhai.

2. Rotimi Sunday- River United

The goalkeeper could easily pass as the oldest player in the league (and could possibly be the oldest), he has played close to 2 decades in the Npfl and he is currently the first choice goalkeeper for Rivers United helping them to a 2nd place finish last season.

As the case is with world class goalkeepers, Rotimi Sunday gets better as he ages, just 3 years shy of clocking 40, he made his debut in 1997 with Plateau United before going on to represent Sunshine, Elkanemi Dolphins and Enyimba.

The shot stopper made his national team debut as far back as 2001 deputising for Austin Ejide in an Afcon qualifier against Namibia and he accumulated 5 appearances in total for the A team and several others for the B team. His last involvement with the national team was a call up by Samson siasia in 2011 as a cover for Enyeama.

3. Ifeanyi Onuigbo – Fc Ifeanyi Ubah

The striker has an imposing figure with a deadlock on his head, he has spent over a decade in the NPFL with teams like Heartland and most recently Enyima starring in their Caf Champions league campaign last season.

He has since joined Fc Ifeanyi Ubah where he also featured in the Caf confederations cup this season, he is one of the few players who alternates between Beach soccer and the conventional football as he also features for the beach soccer team.

4. Gambo Muhammed – Kano pillars

A stalwart in the pillars attack, he alongside Rabiu Ali and Adamu Muhammed are core members of the Sai’ Masu Gida team who have been around for what seems like forever. He has over 70 goals in more than 200 appearances for pillars since 2006 when he joined from Buffalo.

The striker was with the team that represented Nigeria at the 2013 Confederations Cup in Brazil where he fluffed his lines against Spain in the 3-0 defeat and has since fallen out of the A team. However, he has represented the B team at the CHAN tournaments and has a goal in 7 matches

5. Akpan Bassey – Rangers

16 years after playing in the u17 World cup final against France on 2001 where Nigeria lost, the goalkeeper is still waxing strong.

Having played for the likes of Shooting, Bayelsa United, Sunshine, Kwara United, Heartland, Abia Warriors and Akwa United, he was signed up by Rangers during their goalkeeping injury crises, the goalkeeper has spent close to 13 years in the league after stints in South Africa and Vietnam.

6. Ikechukwu Igbenegbu – Enyimba

The Back to back Federations cup winners medal with Heartland FC is what the forward can boast of, he alongside Isiaka Olawale plays in the Super sand Eagles team, and so far has played with Warri Wolves before joining Enyimba.

After a decade in the NPFL which started with Elkanemi in 2006, he was called into the CHAN team in 2016.

7. David Tyavkase – Lobi Stars

Tyavkase is a CAF champions league winner with Enyimba when they won back to back champions league in 2003 and 2004.

The midfielder had stints with clubs on the African continent in Gabon before returning to Nigeria with Lobi stars of Markurdi where he currently plies his trade

8. Isiaka Olawale – El kanemi

Many people recognise the Maiduguri Warriors’ midfielder as a beach soccer player as he is the captain of the Super Sand Eagles of Nigeria.

However, Isiaka Olawale has been in the NPFL for close to 15 years playing for four different clubs turning out for the likes of Enyimba, Dolphins, Kwara and Lobi stars before joining Elkanemi Warriors.

He was involved in the Super Eagles setup in 2007 under Berti Vogts.

9. Okey Odita – Rangers

After long years of wait for a league title, the Flying Antelopes broke a 32-year jinx in 2016 to win the NPFL, Okey Odita was the lucky man who lifted the trophy as the captain of the side.

His one and only appearance for the super eagles came in 2004 which shows how long the defender have been in the game.

In the midst of the frequent search for greener pastures abroad by players in the Nigeria Professional Football League ( NPFL), there are few who by choice decided to stay and become legends of the local league.

Not many will be like Victor Ezeji who played for nine Npfl clubs in his career that spanned over 19 years from 1996 to 2015 with a one year stint at Club Africain in 2007.

While everybody adores a young player bursting through onto the scene and surprising the world, the NPFL has been blessed with some superb veterans throughout the years.

Today at Cheapgoals.com we look at players who have spent over 5 years in one or various NPFL clubs over the years in no particular order.

10. Chinedu Udoji – Kano Pillars

For those who don’t follow the NPFL deeply and consistently, they may be forgiven to think the hefty defender is still with Enyimba.

However, the hard as a nail defender joined Pillars at the beginning of the season ending his association with the side he captained to the league title in 2015.

Hardly will anyone list top 5 defenders from the NPFL without the 27-year-old been listed, but the defender who has spent 10 years in the league, unfortunately, he hasn’t got a call up to the National team despite his exploits.

Arsene Wenger has been handed serious warning over record signing Alexandre Lacazette, as former Gunners player Robert Pires believes the player could find it difficult to adapt to the Premier League in his first few months at Arsenal.

The striker moved to the Emirates Stadium from Lyon this month for a fee of £52.7million, making him the club’s most expensive player.

"a master said 90% of earths population have their spiritual eyes and perception blinded by the dust of earth. 7% have got cracks in the dust and so get intermittent glimpses which bring them the truth underneath the appearance. 2% see clearly, and the remaining 1% do not need to see".


how does one wipe off this dust?

etc Our honorable seers or gifted in d house,your views will highly be appreciated.....

The human brain never sleeps. Even when you're sleeping your brain is still awake. You wouldn't be waking up the next day, if for any reason your brain slept off, to be funny ur dreams are the objective manifestation of any intangible thoughts impregnated by ur subconscious mind.


u should approach your dreams from a spiritual perspective, your dreams will open up with a fruitful spiritual interpretation.

iamharkinwaley:
Now m awake
Bro are there pple gifted but ain't aware of there gift,if so how can they be awakened?

All human re born gifted..sin and uncleaniess swerve em away from us.. Be reborn , sex is the number one gift spoiler .. Can you stay away from it?

Get cleanse and let your emotionally energy, mind ,spirit and soul be pure ..

Start meditation... And find a spiritual guardian to lead you.. I can if you want .. But it takes a level of discipline and commitment to know if ur ready

Hmm.. Its nt child's play

Shiitposter:
Yeah, you are right about having a guardian, the book advised that. Actually, the reason i wanted to summon a demon is because it promised Knowledge of all things, and i was really struglling in school with Engineering maths, i thought this will surely help me ace all my course, how naive i was, that thing could have killed me there and then. Now i know that God is the source of all knowledge.

Good you know that
