EPL Under Threat: As Elumelu and top Business men ready to buy NPFL clubs soon by orohbiro(op): 8:21pm On Apr 08, 2024
Tony Elumelu a renown business mogul has confirmed that himself and other Nigerian wealthy business tycoons has been approached by the Minister of sport to purchase some football clubs in the Nigerian Premier League.

He made this comment via his X handle in reaction to a tweet that says Nigerian Business men should engage in clubs ownership.

" The Sports Minister, Senator John Enoh @OwanEnoh, is already thinking along this line and has approached me and we are already evaluating viability."

What is your take on this 💭🤔?

orohbiro:

If this moves materializes we might just see the likes of oshimen coming back to NPFL and world class coaches in our league

Dongonte - kano pillars owner
Elumelu - Enyimba owner
Amaju pinnick - warri wolves owner
Otedola - sporting Lagos owner
Tinubu- osun united owners

There is only 8 world class stadium in England which are
Old Trafford, ethiad,Emirates, anfield, white hart lane, westham stadium, and Newcastle

We are having 2 already in akwa abuja and abuja. Just imagine we build 6 more in Nigeria white players go dey come the league trust me

There is big money in football. It's a whole industry on its own that can employ thousands of people.

Groundsmen, kit managers, physiotherapists, nutritionists, souvenior vendors, jersey sellers, advertisers, podcasters , food sellers and so on and so forth.
