Chuks is gradually becoming " an easy figured-out" player, he needs to work on himself and improve on his output
Oshimen must learn to put his laces through the ball.
Iwobi needs to learn to dominate and boss the midfield, his physical presence must be enhanced

Spot on Brother. And thumbs up

BascoVanVeli:
I think this could be good. Now we also should remember that things don't always go as planned in naija but if all goes well both all parties could be smiling at the end of the day. This could set up a better deal with more sponsors

Very well Brother and more sponsors indeed.

forgiveness:
I also showed you his stats in green white green and it's better than that of Kalu.

How can you even put Moses in the same category with Onuachu? Did you start following the SE?

The same Simon people said can't dribble during the AFCON was one the best dribbler according to CAF stats.

Yes you supported your argument with stats but I made reference to the below in my argument

'Analytically, If you have been following his misses in scoring or goal assist indecisions, you would understand me better.'

That his how in that regard, CHUKWUEZE is also guilty of the same offense if supposed good dribbling abilities amounts to nothing in the end as a striker because Wingers are strikers in today's football settings as out to out Strikers like FIRMINO of LIVERPOOL are rear this days.

That is why himself only plays to make his wingers in SALLAH and MANE take the shine of him instead of the opposite.

It seems you also misunderstood me too in respect of the ONUACHU reference because I made the mentioning simply for his deficiency in output as well and not about SIMON's dribbling abilities that ONUACHU is lacking in.

My followership of the SE dated back to 1994 AFCON in TUNISIA and of course the USA'
94 edition of the WORLD CUP.

So when I criticize an SE player, I do so with comparative reference to those before them really.

BascoVanVeli:
Super points. It is a tough proposition either way we look at it. It might work if 9mobile has a special subscription for watching or they dash some data out specifically for the league matches.

I think people abroad would be the biggest winners.

The winners indeed would be those oversea and it would be a good one for scouts too.

let me copy you some excerpt from the update posted by Odunayaw earlier which he copied me but I would be separating them in numbers and here they go:

1. Next TV Digital , a subsidiary of Next Satellite TV, is a meld of 3 media companies (Nigus International, NigComSat, and CGWIC). They plan to invest in the production of NPFL content targeting audiences using mobile devices, aiming to be a “Netflix of Sports.”

2. 9mobile will create a special data bundle to enable Next TV subscribers seamlessly access over-the-top (OTT) services on their mobile devices.

DrKlever:
Wahala dey ooh, all this plenty emails with which data kwanu. I'm trying to compress the video to save data. Please bear with me!

I swear that was my thought too as to why I didn't post my mail address self

Koboko99:
RUWADISRIBUTOLOGIST....this your name strong oh The Italian player in question is Antonio Cassano. He said he has slept with over 500 women.

Max fm is not a strictly sport station like Brila fm. But their sports programme have a good followership due to the pair of Sean Amadi and Murphy Ijemba.
Murphy and Sean were the best in Brila fm Lagos but left after having issues with Larry, the owner of Brila fm. So most of their fans followed them to max fm.

Ok and thanks for the Player's name posted.

Same thing it was with the Big ID too. followership to a New fm station with sporting segment also.

And Interestingly, Your moniker is the same nickname a pidgin correspondent of and comedian at Brila fm Abuja bears too.

Koboko Master he is being referred

forgiveness:
You mean the same Simon Moses who has better records than Samuel Kalu both in the National team and Ligue 1?

See Simon Moses stats 1&2

See Kalu Samuel's stats 3&4

Now, tell me what you mean by liability. Besides, Simon Moses is LW but Rohr prefers playing him on the RW.

My reference to him being a liability is not related to his club performance oo but strictly all about the SE.

What you have to note is the fact that some people are only good at club level against their International engagement output and MOSES SIMON falls into that category just like ONUACHU is along side AKPEYI.

Analytically, If you have been following his misses in scoring or goal assist indecisions, you would understand me better.

Same reason I was very critical of THEO WALCOTT at ARSENAL back in the days.

Remember he is ahead of KALU as per SE cap,, now compare his overall output in relation to the analytic statement above and be the judge yourself please.

To some extent, CHUKWUEZE is also guilty of that as well and that was probably why he had to return to the bench at club level while nothing that he actually began the season as a first 11 starter at Villarreal

The opposite of the above is JULIUS AGHAHOWA among others.

No not necessarily because you live up North oo but that is the truth about the North

And that is why nowadays, NPFL stadiums in the North usually witness a fairly large turn out for NPFL matches than the South going by the relayed commentaries from myself earlier even though I'm up North too.

Interestingly, A change in the quality of players on parade in the league would ultimately overcome the time and poor awareness constraint too because sponsors would come in and create the awareness over the various States medias for every weekly fixtures

Yes football can Draw me out and it had before when I used to spend #900 to and fro within Abuja to go watch FC ABUJA when they were in the National League even before I later stopped.

Yes you are correct about empty stadia everywhere and it still boils down to the domicile economy of the affected League.

Thanks for your insight all the same.

Odunayaw:
I like the way you analyzed the money to be spent. The stadium isn't always full to capacity largely because of time and poor awareness.
But really, probably because I live up North. The men here like experiential things hence you'd see someone damn any match in Europe just to sit in the sun and hail or curse a team from the stands.

In all, I get your point. But if Malls could invite you without lips to drain your wallet, stadiums can.
Clubs need to go to work. Even in established leagues (e.g South Africas') usually have empty stadiums. I remember seeing a RCD Mallorca match recently with a very lean stadium. Clubs must do some work

Odunayaw:
The League Management Company (LMC), organisers of the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) and Next TV Digital held a press briefing to officially announce the investment of Next TV Digital in the NPFL.

Next TV Digital , a subsidiary of Next Satellite TV, is a meld of 3 media companies (Nigus International, NigComSat, and CGWIC). They plan to invest in the production of NPFL content targeting audiences using mobile devices, aiming to be a “Netflix of Sports.”

In his remarks, Director Strategic Communications, Mr. Emeka Offor, expressed hopes that the platform will be used to showcase the best of Nigeria to Nigerians and to the rest of the world. LMC Chairman, Shehu Dikko stated that their forecast suggests that within the next five years, the NPFL will quadruple its revenue potentials and earnings with this investment.
Nigerian Telecoms Company, 9mobile, exchanged a partnership agreement with Next TV at the event. 9mobile will create a special data bundle to enable Next TV subscribers seamlessly access over-the-top (OTT) services on their mobile devices.

cc: Kbs468

Great! That means one should start planning for a 9mobile network soonest ooo.

Good one from you about the recent development regarding the media coverage of the NPFL

Humility017:
Olayinka is the big deal....
give him just one game to shine....

he is the kind of winger we don't know his value yet....
So selfless and hardworking...he is a terror on any defense....

wish Rohr can invite him and dessers someday

Yes you got that right about PETER OLAYINKA.

He amazes me indeed with his height not a hindrance at all whasoever.

So I believe he would deliver in the SE unlike how ONUACHU does presently

DrKlever:
Algeria vs Zambia and Ghana vs South Africa is another interesting match to watch today.. Problem na where man pikin go watch dem?

GTV could show it na since it involves Ghana and probably at home even.


ALGERIA against ZAMBIA again? Are we even in the same group as ALGERIA? of course not. Its SIERRA LEONE and LESOTHO


Addendum: Honestly you really observed OSIMHEN very well and he does needs to improve seriously.

Odunayaw:
Well, I've thought of all this.

point 5. Gate fee or fare has not been a problem to fans. In minna over here, Niger Tornadoes pull everyone from that big town. As I said one time we discussed. Clubs need to create stars and buzz out of their players, people will come.

All in all. The good thing from this deal is that there will be at least professional production of pictures and any Sports station that come along later on with deals will not start from square 1

Shooting stars is in a mess. I used to watch them at Lekan Salami stadium some 3 years ago. Their problem lies with seeing things to the end. When they scout for talents, it all begins well (They visit UI and PolyIB) but they later on scatter it. Funds maybe, Incompetence maybe too. I think they'd move up to the NPFL soon

Ameen to the 3SC moving up to the NPFL.

About the NIGER TORNADOES, I'm sure the stadium is not always full to capacity Right? While there are willing souls to watch the local clubs in NIGERIA but are handicapped financially.

Hence the inability to sponsor themselves to the stadium for a #500, #300 or #200 fee? Probably another #500 or less or even more to and fro depending on location to the stadium and additional #200 or #100 for Sachet water or soft Drinks.

Putting the above all together would just give them the impression of managing with the foreign matches on TV in viewing centers instead since they might not afford satellite dish subscription as well.

And majority of the Nigerian football fans falls into the above category oooo.

Above all, And like you said, Good quality footballers in the teams could spur a reversal of the above trend in the long run though.

Koboko99:
I've listened to these guys and they are very cool. I really like Sean Amadi, Murphy's strike partner. They both left Brila fm together for Max fm

Sorry for intruding.

Is Max FM radio also strictly a sports related Broadcast station like Brila fm?

For I also missed Frank Idemudia Alaba aka Big ID formerly of Brila fm too here in Abuja.

I can't also forget my experience with him when I got visit him in the studio for my gift after winning one of his programming teasers.



The teaser on a day earlier was actually on the report about an ITALIAN player (can't remember his name again right now) that was rumoured to have slept with over 500 Ladies.

so he asked him listeners to coin a name for him and give reasons live on air over the radio.

There and then, I mentioned RUWADISRIBUTOLOGIST.

where I explained that

1. RUWA in the North (Though I'm a SOUTH WESTERNER) means WATER.

2. DISTRIBUTO coined from Distribution

3. LOGIST came into the fold because its a name that is required and so a noun is the part of speech required.

4. Hence my Decision for the choice of RUWADISRIBUTOLOGIST

So many persons called in and gave theirs but at the end of the show, He called me out and announced me as the winner of which I had to visit the next day with a valid ID card for the gift.

Bolowolowo:
I want Moses Simon to start our next match.

MOSES SIMON has been more like a liability now ever since the emergence of SAMUEL KALU on the same Wing in the SE because of His final Ball to the attacking line upfront.

So, Coming on from the bench is still the best treatment for him until he becomes displaced by someone else since the SE is becoming more and more competitive now.

But could you reflect your reason(s) for him to start games for us here please?

Icon4s:
Thanks bro.

These are some of the kind of issues we face because of patriotism. The kind of things we go through to watch naija match

Out there majority of Nigerians never knew any such thing happened. Some didn't even border since after they didn't see it on Super Sports.

Indeed many never experienced anything near frustration yesterday over any quest to watch, observe, monitor or enjoy NIGERIA take on BENIN REPUBLIC like you rightly pointed out.

One only hopes that CAF resolves quickly the marketing and media right contract saga of its contents in a bid to better our overall viewing and consumption experiences in the shortest time possible too.

Because I believe that they are trying to break any existing Monopoly surrounding the initial contract so to say after discovering same else cancelling an original 12 years contract abtruptly all of a sudden is suspect definitely.

The Spiritual Leader I respect the most and that I had dreamt about on countless occasions mostly coming to my rescue despite my being a Muslim.

Someone will be fine, sabi book and still have money.

Later Pastor Ramotu will say God is love and impartial.


Mtchew....


I still remember Charity in Premier Primary Obosi, Anambra.

Fine as fuucck, yet intelligent. Lass wouldn't read hard yet leading the class. The parents were rich too.

I was her sharp contrast...

Eyaaaah But come to think of it, How do you know that your classmate doesn't study hard?


Or Do you relate 24/7 to have observed same?

I'm just curious to know and not doubting you though.

Besides, That is one thing with people born with silver spoon anyway.

Also note that you are not different from her as well except for the family wealth ooo because I believe you are also beautiful in your own right

tbaba1234:
The biggest thing the LMC will do for our football is to mandate teams to have proper structures. Ensure that they have audited books at the end of each season, proper contracts with players, feeder teams with basic structures etc.. Even if only 10 team meet the criteria, we start the league with 10 teams.

Very very spot on tBaba. The official claim by both NPFL and LMC management are only theoretical while the practical things to do are what you've just posited

BascoVanVeli:
You are right. I am glad I went sha. I am going back tomorrow for akwa united and I had wanted to spare the extra trip but it was a great experience.

Good to hear that about the NPFL from you Brother. It's what we desired for our clubs in the NPFL settings too.

Please keep the Akwa United followership fire burning Brother.

Let me copy you the sad reality of the LMC decision with Next TV that Odunayaw just posted that I had to respond to accordingly.

Icon4s:
Sebi i said it yesterday that AIT will just go and be showing Kogi election campaign.

My own experience: I arrived home at 5:10pm. I was still in the car when I gave instructions that the gen should be switched on. I quickly switched on the TV and decoder while I went to search for an old antenna. I finally found one in the store . I plugged the thing o and started looking for local AIT . Na so I dey stretch hand with the antenna o to get the best signal quality. I no see AIT o . I say make I check DSTV maybe Dem don settle their issues with CAF I checked all the Supper Sports channels plus NTA, AIT, LTV, MITV . Nothing.

Na so I come say make i even check update on nairaland na so I see Nigeria 0: Benin 1. By this time it was 30mins gone already. I just saw one post from one guy that said "it is on NTA 24News or something. Na so I pick decoder remote begin look for am. And this NTA come go dey at the back, long after CNN and Aj-Jazeera

I finally got there o. By this time na like 33mins gone. Na so person begin follow that yeye coverage

Eya and so sorry about your experience Sha..

But they later hooked up with the NTA telecast and funny enough, the AIT that hooked NTA was showing a faster motion ahead of the same match being shown by the NTA PORTHACOURT on NIGCOMSAT ooo with even a clearer voice note.

It was very very funny to be honest with you in truth

Sorry too to Simiife

Odunayaw:
NPFL NextTV: It's A Production Deal, Not A TV Deal


For the Nigeria Professional Football League, NPFL, aside crowd violence, sponsorship issues, officiating and league resumption postponement. One major bane of the NPFL is having matches live on TV.

The organisers of the NPFL, the League Management Company, LMC has over the years struggled to maintain the TV right deals from a foreign TV outlet to a local TV medium, thereby finding it difficult to have the first division football league in Africa's most populous country on live on TV to the fans.

However, after the first match day of the NPFL 2019/20 season, news broke that the LMC have signed a 5-yr contract deal with NextTV that would see the league on TV amidst other multiple sponsors to boost the commercial values of the league.

Thus on Tuesday, the LMC via its chairman, Shehu Dikko in a media parley at the company's office in Abuja while explaining the deal stated that, "The first phase of distribution is to commence through OTT Platform in partnership with 9mobile.

"Commercialization of NPFL Rights to generate enough revenues into the system with NPFL earnings hugely optimized".

Meanwhile, the Next TV Chairman, Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim said, "We are going to go beyond OTT andq with time ensure we have quality contents that can project the NPFL".

"We are not restricting it. We want to drive the projection of NPFL through OTT and digital technology and share the content with others who will be willing to use it whether it's terrestrial, cable within and outside Nigeria.

Once you carefully read the above, the key word right there is OTT which effectively does not directly mean an actual TV deal which many Nigerians expected.

What then is OTT and how does this benefit Nigerians who wishes to watch their various NPFL sides on TV.

Over the top (OTT) media service is a streaming media service offered directly to viewers over the Internet. OTT bypasses cable, broadcast and satellite television platforms that traditionally act as a controller or distributor of such content.

The term is most synonymous with subscription-based video on demand services that offer access to film and television content (including existing series acquired from other producers, as well as original content produced specifically for the service).

OTT television, usually called online television or internet television or streaming television, remains the most popular OTT content. This signal is received over the internet or through a cell phone network, as opposed to receiving the television signal from a terrestrial broadcast or satellite. Access is controlled by the video distributor, through either an app or a separate OTT dongle or box, connected to a phone, PC or television set.

Consumers can access OTT content through Internet-connected devices such as phones including Android, iOS, and Windows-type mobile devices.

As of 2019, Android and iOS users make up more than 45% of the total OTT content streaming audience, while 39% of users use the web to access OTT content.

Explanation gotten?. If No, here is it in simple terms, "You can only watch the NPFL via live streams on the internet" at least for this season, if not beyond.

It remains to be seen how the LMC hopes to achieve this putting into consideration the nature of an average NPFL follower who might find it difficult to stream live games while having in mind his/her data subscription and even the quality of service provided by the Nigeria network system.

On the long term, it's a big deal for the LMC and NPFL at large, if properly harnessed as this makes the league available to anyone, anywhere in the world which would further project the gospel of the Nigeria Professional Football League.

The LMC is working, we hope this deal works too.

This is absolute madness.

Who will supposedly waste his or her Data streaming NPFL matches

1. when Data is very expensive this days?

2. When there are other high quality and competitive Leagues like the EPL, La LIGA, SERIA A ETC on the same platform week in week out?

3. When The True NPFL Fans are not really based in the domicile States of the NPFL clubs like myself for stadium access?

4. Even when domicile, How about when ones aboard is very far away from the NPFL stadiums such that one cannot travel every weekend to go watch a darling Team?

5. While those that are closer do not even go to watch because of gate fee and fare (To and fro) as watching EPL and others on TV is cheaper?

6. Probably the only consolation they are looking at is the viewing at one's leisure time rather than a LIVE viewing since the content would always be online all the time

7. Finally finally, I'm not too pleased that my darling 3SC aka SHOOTING STARS is not part of the deal. So when shall ye come out of relegation?

BascoVanVeli

somehow:
Both you and humility didn't see the goal, yet already blaming the GK that you lot don't like? Who told you I want him back? that does not mean you should blame or bring him down blindly.

A further proof that both of you can't be objective.

Humility017 come and hear ooo.

1. There is no two way about it that AKPEYI doesn't inspire confidence on the back four

2. He Lacks positioning intelligence

3. He spills Ball anyhow like an amateur

4. what he has is club duty consistency and the advantage over other Goalkeepers

5. The advantage has been relatively less productive at the SE level of the 1st 3 shortcomings above time without number.

6. Hence my decision to asked if it was an Own goal? for the blame was on the defense

7. Or whether it was because of his poor positioning yet again as a good positional Goalkeeping would always save the day when any defense falters in reality.

8. Safarigirl had also acknowledged earlier that his club stats hasn't translate to any meaningful success for the SE of NIGERIA oo and I quite agree with that absolutely.

So, In essence, it's not about unnecessary or blind criticism ooo.

BascoVanVeli:
O wow nta showed? I ran out to the stadium o. By 4:50 they weren't ready so I wasn't taking chances

That's wonderful being by the pitch side .

NTA PORTHACOURT actually covered it while AIT later Linked up with them.

But it's better you enjoyed the match live and direct without suffering any poor vision occasioned by the quality of the telecast-Too poor-to say the least

BascoVanVeli:
Mature performance from the guys. I missed the first 30 minutes because I believed in AIT smh

.
Eyaaaah But they still hooked up with the NTA telecast Sha

quickberry2:
Awaziem came in for Aina, Simon for Kalu and Musa for Osimhen.

. Alright and thanks Brother

Euniceadetun:
lol it's my quest in searching for a link that brought me here sir. I think I will remain a regular as I am staunch supporter of Nigeria football. My club is super eagles I hope to share more scintillating moments with you all my lovely eagles supporters.

Thanks alot and That would be great of you indeed.

I also came across the thread not long ago too all for the Love of Nigerian football.

Safarigirl and DrLikita12, please carry her along ooo because We desire a higher number of feminine Spirit in here too after all, Super Falcons and their Babies are Nigerian Teams too.

Eartquake1:
Somebody should tell the commentator that Alex Iwobi has left Arsenal

You no hear when he said the match is over and they went on to play for almost 8 minutes of solid football?

Kbs468:
Another save by the Benninoise Goalkeeper




DrLikita12

Choi! Network did me strong thing oooo.

Anyway, The Benninoise got a chance to equalize at the tail end of the match after a ding dong affair had held sway in the mid-field for some minutes though.

MOSES SIMON later came on for SAMUEL KALU I believe while MUSA was later seen with the captain's arm band but don't know whom he replaced because CHUKWUEZE was still seen down on the pitch

A glimpse of AWAZIEM was also reflected at a point too. Maybe he replaced AINA but that one cannot tell.

The missing Link though in general has been lack of good understanding of one another by the Strikers for the Mid-field and defense gave a good account of themselves for marshalling the equalizer and the subsequent Goal for the victory.



Over all, NIGERIA now leads the group L with the 3 maximum points garnered from today's match as SIERRA LEONE vs LESOTHO ended in a 1:1 score Draw pending Our next game against LESOTHO away from NIGERIA this Sunday.

Another save by the Benninoise Goalkeeper



DrLikita12

DrLikita12:
I think I’ll rely on your updates henceforth

ok.
Another effort on target was easily caught out by the Benninoise Goalkeeper.
Benin just hits NIGERIA wood wall now
A change for NIGERIA is about to be effected

DrLikita12:
Yes I do Thanks for the update

Another parried effort coming from Samuel kalu again.
The resulting Corner kick never produced another Goal though
