It has been my observation that Nigerians are versed with European soccer leagues like English premier league and Spanish premier league ,and perhaps Italian and German. I find it weird because most countries I've visited usually prefer their own sport leagues. For example , Lithuania is a basketball nation and they have their own basketball league( Lietuvos krepšinio lyga) which they enjoy . In fact, most people there are not versed with America's NBA league because they prefer their own league .
Most people in Brazil and Argentina prefer their own soccer league ,despite the fact they probably have some of their top stars in European league.
Most people in North America prefer American leagues. Even though soccer is not one of the most popular sports in the US, most North American soccer fans still prefer American soccer league and the stadiums are usually filled.

Why don't Nigerians like Nigerian soccer league, and what do you think can be done to improve so that it becomes a household league that Nigerians can enjoy and frequent ?

To start with, SE na on NTA you wan watch Nigeria Premier League matches?

Players putting off their jerseys is double red card now in Nigeria Premier League.

The last time a player did, the lines man collapsed of body odour.

.

The problem is the people managing the league. They don't package and sell it well.


There were times Nigerians preferred foreign musicians to local ones. Then some people came in and changed things.

The way referees go home after a match in Nigerian league

cos 95% of time, home teams always win. players lives in danger anytime they win away match. stones on their head

Nigeria league is not developed Like other leagues in Africa, poor earnings for players .

modified.
Imagine Kano pillars using three days jouney by road just to play with Lagos mfm. consider the players fatigue, that's why most home teams win their matches.Nigeria leagues lacks both foreign and local investment and our govt can' do nothing to develop/help the league or stadiums. when they have not even develop the country in general. Nigeria league has a long way to go .

They should hand the league over to private individuals

Nigerians never believe in their own...that's the reason someone from Sudan is leading them.

Nigeria football league is nothing to write home about. Even the big wings(super eagle, super falcon etc) performance is bad.
Plus the dilapidated states of the stadium you will loose interest completely in them.

You that you are talking do you like Nigeria league

1. Better substitute that can be watched at home
2. No pattern mostly hefty men running like headless chicken in 9ja league.
3.poverty, safety and traffic - not easy to go to stadium.
4 we love foreign things.

Because they are hypocrites!! They always prefer foreign to theirs.

Nigerian league is just like Nigerian ladies



All of them are trash, recycled and not worth it at all.....

How can we leave European league/ ladies and start liking Nigerian league/ ladies that has no value..


Who will even reject an Indian girl for one naija girl wey her ass Don burn sef...


Team foreign jare

Bet9ja should add nigerian premier league to their games. I'm sure people will show more interest after that

So I should waste my time watching Kano pillars and eyemba playing nonsense??

You wey dey talk so.....do you like the league?

Good graphics is very important.

I still prefer foreign music than the rubish Nigerians sing. Songs without sense and meaning.

Who changed things for Nigerian music?

Branding! Branding! Branding!

That's the problem with the Nigerian league. We need to re-package our league and it will be able to compete with the best leagues out there and people will be interested in watching the matches. Surely, we need more investors too. I'm a big time Akwa United fan

I'm a football fan, and I follow the NPFL, but truth be told, our leaders aren't making the sport more enticing to the youths, if I'm right, billions are budgeted every year but almost 80% of it ends up being embezzled. Take a look at our stadiums for instance, a place where it's supposed to be an institution looks like a town hall, why would I be enticed to such a mediocre, 10billion naira projects looking like a 100million naira project.

Poverty, hypocricy, inferiority complex and security plays another role too

Some people will say Rome was not built in a day, sit down there o, 200yrs later, future generations will say the same thing. Nigeria is more richer than most countries. We have the billions to make and package the NPFL to the populace. But our Potbellied politicians only know how to embezzle and show off mediocre stadiums as achievements.

Which do you prefer , designer suit from abroad or Ankara suit?
Answer that honestly and ask yourself why that is so.You have your answer.

Humor me

Let's just say we like good things. Let's make good football here and we Nigerians will love it. Until then.......

not entertaining, poor coverage

Very funny question.
Same as asking why Nigerian politicians don't like our hospitals.

Choice... No be everybody dey chop for mamaput.
