This is a generic message or lets call it request; and with this approach you would not be able to understand what defi is.
In a broader general sense; defi means decentralized finance.

• if you relate it to a token; it indicates freedom for everyone either young, or old or middle age to be able to mint/create a token. Thats decentralization
• if you relate it to what a token has to do; then defi says that, everyone has the freedom, choice and the opportunity to freely issue a token and peg an utility to the token contract.

Either token creation, token contract utility, token launch, token sales, and even trading of tokens; they are all related to defi. So if you specify even further more what you want to know about in DEFI; You will get more help and explanations definitely.

Ball is in your court.

What do you make of the 2023 AFRICAN SUPER LEAGUE?
Whats team are you supporting ?

News Source: BBC and Goal sports platform.

On the other hand, the npfl league needs to seek progress and growth away from the government. With financial independence and good commitment, the league can prosper without anyone hodling them behind.

The league needs to find Broadcast deals themselves and make the most out of it

I believe there are plans in place to do that and also to achieve that; with pending deal waiting to be agreed between the NPFL and Startimes or NPFL and Supersport. Once broadcasting agreement is reached; we can now ask clubsides (most are govt owned) to have their state tv stations to broadcast their games live for more publicity.

So far, the NPFL is taking baby steps, their leadership needs to be sacked so that the NPFL can prosper.

PSG performances in the champions league against Newcastle United is unacceptable and Enrique is rightly feeling the heat. On the contrary, i think the manager is finding iot hard to build attacking or defensive rythm after signing lots of players at the start of the season. The coach definitely has to do better; with Bans coming up for few players including Muani; time is right for Enrique to proof himself.

One thing about the Balon d'or is that it is a sentimental award; it doesnt necessarily satisfy and rewards based on activity on the football pitch; but rather on the sentiments of voters who are (country captains, club captains, journalists etc). Who ever wins between Haaland and Messi; just know they got the most votes

I got involved and streamed the 3SC game live on the NPFL webpage; it was a good experience to be honest. If the broadcast deal improves, we can expect the camera angles, and camera quality to get better too. Shooting stars won the game with 2 goals to one, with Plateau United drawing a goal back after going 2 nil down.

Did you watch the Nigeria Premier Football League this weekend ?

Well, One news is that Paxful is back and running as they have resumed operations for couple of weeks now. Same website!!!
Also, all funds and debts were restored to user accounnts.

I do not think this is about corruption or siphoning or any of that; this is about tv rights, broadcast rights which are the main source of revenue for football leagues; Expecting them to continue to be free or subsidized is why Nigerian league cannot go back to its previous glory where they dominate African tournaments.

Want Nigerian broadcast stations to air live league games? Find sponsors; connect them to the broadcast channel and this is easily resolved.

We have to be realistic in our demands haha. Even in ENGLAND; The English premier league is not broadcast for free in their television stations; you need to subscribe to ESPN, Skysports separately for a champions league and EPL Coverage. We cannot continue to demand subsidy in our sports and hope that they become better.

This season the NPFL has taken the right step in the right direction, securing live streaming broadcast rights with MTN & Propel; and presently they are negotiating with Supersports and Startimes for a 5 year broadcast deal that will ensure television coverage.

If the app is free usage until the end of the season; how would partners earn? how would advertisement be achieved? Its a fair deal from all parties.
Its time to embrace our own too.


I think this is faux outrage; no where in the world can your stream league games live (except illegal streaming platforms); no where are games shown live on televisions too; you need to pay special subscription fee always.

What can the NPFL DO? Since most clubsides are state owned in the country; they can secure a broadcast deal to ensure that every home game matchday is broadcast live; for example, Shooting Stars home game live on Bcos, Bendel Insurance games live on Edo television (to achieve this, clubsides need to source for worthy partnerships amongst others).

Liverpool strength is not new and the team has been elite for a long while too; they just had an injury ravaged season inn the previous campaign which derailed their performance and forced them down only to Europa league spot in the previous campaign. Can Liverpool push for the Europa league title and top 4 simultaneously? Time will tell

i understand your position to be honest (its sha naija!)
None the less, i bring good news. The NPFL Live streaming platform will be free for all users for game week 1 and game week 2 of the NPFL!!!! The android app is live and working while the ios will be released shortly

DOWNLOAD

Remember, once the free views end, you have to subscribe to the NPFL App to stream matches every week cheaply (i think its 3500 naira monthly, we await official price).
LFG!!!!!

Well teams are trying to match up to PSG in the French league, but they do not have the owners from QATAR; How can they match up? Clubsides need money to buy quality players and challenge; not many in French league can afford to do so. Still the league is still challenging in its best money.

Nice is doing its best to challenge PSG, I think that counts for something.

Harry Kane is loving life in Germany with Bayern Munich; with an hattrick and 2 assits in today tie against Bochum; Harry Kane has scored his first hattrick for Bayern Munich; his first hattrick in the bundesliga and also the first player to have 10G/A in their first 5 bundesliga games.

If this continues; then it seems that Kane will fill in perfectly the burden left when Lewandoski left for Barcelona.

I think another way to introduce the news is to say that Dr Olayemi Micheal Cardoso illegally resumes his role as acting governor of the cbn. CBN is an independent body which has been politicized by the apc government. Cardoso has no right under the law to assume the role after nomination without being passed by the senate. The illegality has to stop!

The NPFL steaming App is LIVE !!!!!!
Get in ahead of the new season

Every where in the world; disasters are an avenue to make money; either from NGOs or Politicians. Why?
For every natural disaster (both avoidable ones and unavoidable ones); there are relief funds, relief foods and more to be embezzled; if you put it right into the Nigeria political context; the answers to why we have terrible drainage systems and awful Emergency system in place speaks volume.

Evidence?

If you read up about the flood that happened last year due to Cameroon opening up their Dam; you will realize that relief foods, funds etc were not distributed and citizens found out about this about 9 months later when the warehouse was discovered.
 
Funfact? This year, Cameroon will open their dam again and Nigeria has not yet created a water path to prevent last year flooding. Sums up how Nigeria politicians and NGOs make money easily, every year from FLOODD!!!

Propel Sports and MTN Gets the NPFL Broadcast Rights

Big news as the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) gets a broadcast sponsor to make the league games available to viewers in the simplest form!!!
The NPFL signed the broadcast deal with Propel Sports and MTN!!! Propel Sports and MTN will then proceed to create an NPFL APP were the league games can be streamed LIVE by all MTN subscribers; while other subscribers can watch highlights only.

There are criticisms about the NPFL broadcast deal,

• do you think MTN is right to make the viewership available in real time to only MTN subscribers?
• do you think the NPFL is wrong to have agreed to such censorship ?

Lets discuss while we await a new league starting and ending time!!!

I do not think Kylian Mbappe can be amongst the top 3 players this year best player award; he has fallen off radar thanks to Erling Haaland masterclass treble season with Manchester city and Lionel Messi triumphant worldcup campaign. Mbappe also had an excellent worldcup performance; but i do not think that willl be enough for him

Mbappe needs the Real Madrid move desperately, to push his media hypes and be more recognized for the world prized event.
