Nigeria Premier League/Players Discussion Thread.

[Mate2237]

The season is about to and end and everything team is rapping things up and the winners are clearly at the top of the table.

I wish that next season, more resources are pumped into this local league so that it can become more popular among football lovers like us. For instance, many Nigerians like myself do not know the particular television channel where we can follow up and watch these games, and also even the local supporters of these clubs do not have a strong community because the government has not invested enough in them.

I will agree with you here because one of the major issues I think the Nigeria Premier League is facing relates to more publicity, as the local leagues are not taken seriously. If the Local League committee can meet with the local Television stations and other private stations as well in their various states to negotiate with them and also involving the state government, the possibility of them getting time for match day on the government stations is sure because the government would give them support and making sure the local football content is promoted in the state and nation at large.

Nigeria don't even have local sport TV Channels where people can watch Local Sports but nothing to show. Frankly speaking I have not watched in a local channels but if only DSTV decided to show it in their sports channels in Africa before I can watched it or if Local News channels show it before I can watch it. NFF still have enough work to do in the commission if really they want to develop the sports industry. If there are local places to watch NPL, people would have watching it and comments would have full here by now.

Let's see who is going to take the cup this season Shooting Stars is nowhere to close to the trophy in this season.

There is none as we can see, despite the increasing rate of of sports and football spectators, fans and supporters in the country, they are lacking behind in many ways, come to think of it from this aspect as well, if they can be this far behind, how could it have been with the national team when they are playing and competing with other countries, lots of things would have been left unattended to which is strongly affecting their performance.

That is one of the biggest problem of the Nigeria Premier League game. And Money is always pumped into the sports Ministry yet they can't provide even a channel designated to Nigeria Premier League only and other sports. And if there some sports channels to watch games in the NPL games, this thread would been more active and having more participants here. And right now the season is about to an end yet many people don't know what is happening.

Now that season is about to an end it's the time some of the weak teams are waking up to beat up the strong teams in the season. Bayelsa United has not been doing well in the season and they were about to relegated and they struggled to escape from that zone and today I was surprised to see them beating Shooting Stars 3-0. And their squad today was well form and their ball possession was good with nice control on the pitch.

O. Ifeanyi scored the first goal, M. Wisdom scored the second goal and K. Lawal scored the third goal. If they were playing like this from the onset they would have been the top 3 teams in the season.

Today's matches were not really good because even those teams that won their matches were struggling to win and draw with 1-1 is more and the 1-0 matches then 0-0 out of the 7 matches today.

Nasarawa United, Akwa United, Sunshine Stars and Lobi Stars are in the relegation zone and I was thinking that Sunshine Stars have escaped that zone but they didn't.
This this the results of today's matches.
