The English Premier League is one of the most exciting football leagues in the world. Thus, it is unsurprising that many Nigerians are addicted to it.

Every weekend, viewing centres are filled out with Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester City among other EPL clubs. It is, therefore, near impossible to end the attachment of Nigerians to the premier league. Nonetheless, Jumia Travel identifies 5 reasons Nigerians should stop watching the EPL.

The Nigerian League is now exciting and better organized

Since the league management body started managing the Nigerian League, they have made concerted efforts to make the league more exciting and interesting. They have ensured that the stadiums are TV friendly and the players and fans obey rules and regulation. Most importantly, the matches are on Pay TV. This has encouraged players to give out their best and you now see a Nigerian league player scoring a hat-trick.

You get real life stadium experience in the NPFL

To watch a Nigerian League match is very affordable and inexpensive. You don’t have to break the bank. Except you have a deep pocket, you cannot travel the England to watch Arsenal. So, with the NPFL, you can watch Kano Pillars live in Kano or watch Remo Stars in Sagamu. You get the stadium experience.

You can support professionally run private clubs

Unlike in the past when the 20 clubs in the Nigeria Professional Football League are government owned, there are now privately owned clubs that are professionally managed. We have The Mountain of Fire Football Club, Ifeanyi Ubah FC, and Remo stars. You can support these clubs because they churn out EPL like football week in, week out.

Nigerian Stadiums are safe

Many Nigerians have the mindset that whenever they visit the stadium, they will be harassed and waylaid. This is in the past. They are now safe because it is now incumbent on clubs to provide security for fans and players alike.

We will support our own

Nigerians don’t seem to support their own. Like they have a knack for foreign products, it is the same for football. Even the Nigerian Super Eagles team is coached by a foreigner. We stop watching the premier league and support the Nigerian league by going to stadiums to watch their favorite Nigerian club.

Nigerian league ko, Ibadan league ni...
Make i dey enjoy epl dey go joor

naija football league?
No be today yansh dey back.
I remember when sunshine stars played eyimba at the Akure township stadium.

Eyimba scored early in the first half and trust naija league nah, the match no gree end till sunshine equalized via a questionable penalty very late in stopping time (90+10 mins). The match ended immediately after the penalty was taken.

It is good to support our own but why watch a football match when you already know the outcome?

3rd conded

Amazing write-up.

But when would they join the betting league? e.g Remo VS Enyimba (1X2) (15.10 /5.52 /1.30)

mtchewwww

noted

Until when we get there.

Want Me To Leave Ma Chelsea

Nigerians would accuse their politicians of not buying Naija to grow the naira but every weekend, you'll see them at the viewing center watching epl games.

mtcheeeew,,Nigerian league kai,so it's because of Nigeria league one wil stop watching premier league abi......OP

The quality of the camera sef go tire you. Besides its not bad watching epl since africans feature in them too

Are you kidding me?

d op is high on dry lettuce.... the same Naija league that has been at the same spot since it glory days in the 80s..no major improvement, no synthetic pitch, no major sponsor, no motivation........ try watch Angolan league and see d difference.... we only have passion for sport, we r not ready to develop sport wise... when last did we host nation cup?
sen Ben Bruce dat was telling people to drop EPL for npfl is a hypocrite like d op... he shud stop showing Hollywood movies too... u can't stop people from watching EPL... SA DAT has a better league sef dey watch EPL....nonsense

I think the OP is joking.



Nigeria league where you hardly win away matches..


I am marry to Chelsea OP leave me alone...

its always fun watching the NPFL...watched most of Rangers game at nnamdi azikwe stadium enugu but to be sincere the difference with EPL is far apart.
unlike the EPL,NPFL has no suspense, poor officiating,lots of time wasting,poor/no tv to show replays etc
but if you are looking of a way to enjoy your weekend when there is no EPL or your club isnt playing NPFL

so because Jumia travel sign a deal with NPL, Mtcheeewww

Meanwhile...

*BREAKING NEWS*

Besides, NPL is still 'home team no dey lose'

Op, which type of weed do u smoke self...... EPL put smile and joy on some people face during this hard time. So what's ur point?

You don't need to do this kyn campaign, when league good we go know. This op did not even try to compare NPL to south African league, premiership loun loun!?
