In a particular case, security officials joined hands with a home team to disrupt play after the visiting team scored a second goal and the game was abandoned.
The quality of play is near excellent, I dare say. If it wasn't, players such as Sunday Mba, Azubuike Egwuekwe, Gabriel Reuben, Mohammed Gambo, Godfrey Oboabona, Chigozie Agbim and co, would not have been drafted into the Super Eagles from the Nigerian league.
The organization is poor. Very poor. Corruption runs in the veins of the organisers and indeed the organization. Corporate sponsors aren't given tax rebate, ie, if indeed they pay taxes at all.
Some things can be put in place to make the league attractive. Tax rebates should be granted sponsors; state of the stadia should be of paramount importance; adequate security should be provided; the welfare of officials should be placed under the care of the central organizers etc.
Indeed, the Nigerian league has not been disappointing in terms of play,though can be better. When a good organization is ensured, every other thing will fall into place.
Naija league na rubbish. End of discussion.
ReplyDeleteNigerian league bu ike! Good players are there. I watch Enyimba week in week out in Aba so i know. But the organisation of the league stinks! Corruption abound within the ranka of both the nff and npl. There is need for prayers in nff.
ReplyDeleteNigerian league is some people's shop and as long as they league remain in tatters, their money keep coming in. They will never allow good organisation bcos they feel it will 'burn their shop'.
