Why Nigerians Like EPL By South Africans by zhike(op): 2:30am On Oct 12, 2024
Nigerians pls may you advise us, why do you like English premier league so much.
Don't you have Nigerian soccer league?
Or is the matter of inferior mindset you have of thinking everything European is better.

The reason I am asking this is because South Africans prefer their local league which is betway premier league. South Africans are patriotic.
Can Nigerians put their ego down and love their local league like south Africans.

You won't tell Nigerians what to love. Nigerians go for standard (whatever is good, better or fashionable). The EPL is arguably the best league in the world. From TV coverage to sponsorship to organization to financing to fanbase to passion, name it. Africa still has a long way to go. VAR introduction for instance, greets us with that gap I am talking about. We put our money where are hearts are. Thank you.

Some Nigerians love their EPL clubs like madt and demand great accountability from the Coach

You will see a Man UTD fan shouting Sack Ten Haag, but saying 'Give tinibu time'. sad sad

Before EPL became easily accessible Nigerians went to stadium to watch shooting stars, abiola babes, ranges, Bbc lions of gboko etc. how easy was it to watch Nigerian league vs EPLhuh

South Africans are able to watch their league on DSTV easily plus they have good investments there. How come none of our billionaires have invested like the likes of Abiola and others did in the pasthuh

Plus Nigerians league today is not interesting, kick and follow football by muscular men, shitty stadium etc.
Re: Why Nigerians Like EPL By South Africans by helinues:
What's the colour of your problem you this SA boy? Why do you keep on disgracing your whole people with your bitterness about Nigeria?

Why are you so fixated about happenings in Nigeria?

Stop being bitter about Nigeria and Nigerians and get a meaningful life.

You can't be coming on Nigeria forum to be attacking us, we will never tolerate such nonsense from you

Those who lack respect for themselves must be disgraced

Is it not your South Company, Multichoice that spoiled Nigerians with foreign soccer?
Like someone said, before EPL became so easily accessible Nigerians troop to local stadiums to watch local matches but with the advent of Satellite tv, Nigerians went crazy for European football for the main reason that with little amount you will have access , those that's can't afford a decoder have numerous viewing centers they can watch from with little money

NPFL is not a bad league, it just needs professional managers if not it's products won't go on to become world class players when they get exposed to foreign leagues

Before nko, is anything European not better? If you believe otherwise, you are deceiving yourself. Only bitter souls like South Africans will argue otherwise. We are not complaining, even with that we are not doing badly in continental competitions, are we? Face your self centered county and leave Nigeria and Nigerians to whatever taste they decide, it's a personal thing.
Meanwhile, FYI, An average Nigerian epl club fan has a Club in Nigeria he or she loves more than how he loves his EPL club, Fact. For instance I love Liverpool FC like there's no other club in the world but You see Enyimba fc, that club is like a Culture to me

Nigerians love football. Most Nigerians go out to watch street football in their area on Saturday mornings, watch football across European top leagues, but won't watch their own local league. The reason is corruption and mismanagement. The last time I went to Ogbe stadium in Benin to see a NPFL match, the referee gave three unjust penalties against the visiting team who were leading 1 nil at the 90th minute. Two of those penalties were converted and the home team won 2 goals to 1. All the protests from the away team fell on deaf ears and they were bullied out the stadium by the home supporters.

This is the reason why most Nigerians don't know the top goal scorer of their local league this past season, but they know the top ballers in their hood and the top goal scorers across European leagues.

A lot has improved since that time but our perception of the league hasn't changed much

Here is the ordinary thinking of Nigerians which is wrong and need to be corrected.

If you watch EPL by paytv, you are making it more rich. Now in Nigeria there is hunger because you are taking money that should develop industries in Africa and you give it to England. Next time you will say English are rich and forgot that you funded them.


The moral of the story if you believe and support your local league it standard could improve and be better than EPL.

South Africans are well taught to support local although they all access to EPL, they opted for their local league.

You are correct.
one of the big investment to local league is to watch it on TV, TVs will make lot of money on advert and fund the league.

What Nigerians should do is to go to stadiums, watch their league on TV, sponsors will follow.

I like your perception.
All South Africans have access to EPL via dstv or internet, but because government is pushing of local league people opted for local league.

Yes, you can learn from EPL and implement on Nigeria league and very soon you will enjoy your local league.
The problem very soon you will be crying racism with the league you sponsor with your money.
Let's build Africa guys.

The problem is that we must always put economy first, if Nigerians are not investing in their economy, Nigeria will be poor and they will be a burden to South Africa.

Missions of Nigeria should be to root out corruption on local league, so that local league could be better and have many sponsors, jobs will be created in Nigeria.

Most Nigerians are guilty of this

Charity begins at home they say

They want the best for Uk and the Epl while they crave the worst of leaders for themselves because of tribalism and religious bigotry, thinking that sports generally in the country won't die a natural death.

Yes, I realized that people in Nigeria are so afraid of police and politicians but that needs to change
