[SatoPrincess]

This is the place to discuss all things connected to Nigeria League. This is the first and only thread for NPFL. Nigerians gather here and show your undying love for the favorite club. The NPFL is made of 20 clubs representing different states in the country. Typically we support our state clubs no matter how badly they play. Guys rep your state and your club. I rep Rivers United!

Season 2021/22

I am going to bump this thread for you, even though I don't live in Nigeria.

I find it strange that, with the large Nigerian community on Bitcointalk, no one has commented, although I guess they haven't noticed the thread yet. I guess when they figure it out, it will be a regular discussion thread.

I don't know much about the Nigerian league but I do know that there are quite a few very good Nigerian players playing in various countries in Europe.

Thanks Poker Player. Part of it is my fault, I posted the link minutes ago on Nigerian community thread for better visibility.

I don't know much about the Nigerian league but I do know that there are quite a few very good Nigerian players playing in various countries in Europe.

The league is interesting and very competitive. Legends like Kanu Nwankwo who played for inter Milan, Arsenal, Westbrom from the early 90s to 2006, Jay Jay Okocha of Bolton, Obafemi Martins of inter Milan...the list goes on. These started from the NPL and built their career to the international stage.

Nice job ops am glad we finally have this thread and this will equally serve as an information ground, I will be a regular visitor to this thread and will be giving out my view as things progress. River United already topping the league table with the 1st position.

With time you'll get to know them, just as you've seen them over in European football.
Top top players, I'm very happy for the idea of this Satoprincess.
Let's push this to the next level.
Thanks X.

The Premier league is called Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL)

@SatoPrincess, thank you for being this up for discussion, Nigerians are many on this forum but nobody has ever suggested or brought this up before, it would not be bad if we use this single thread for discussing about Nigeria premier league.

The NPFL is made of 20 clubs representing different states in the country. Typically we support our state clubs no matter how badly they play. Guys rep your state and your club. I rep Rivers United!

You are right, each club is made up of each states clubs but there could be exceptions like the MFM FC which belongs to Mountain of Fire Ministry. Just that Nigeria clubs league has not developed up to the extent that we want, but the better our country is, the better we would see more private football clubs in Nigeria.

This week matches:



I do not know much about NPFL but I will be following what is happening there this time around, it is not bad at all to discuss about the leagues and clubs in Nigeria.

Jay Jay Okocha had skills that would make Ronaldinho jealous, and Nwakwo Kano aka Papilo was one of the best players Arsenal ever had. These two players made me love inlove with football. I remember when both players were playing for the Super Eagles, we wrote songs to celebrate them. Iheancho, Mikel and other Nigerians playing in Europe have made a name for themselves. But there is a lot of raw talent in the NPFL

Are you joking or something ? You mean Ronaldinho jealous of Jay Jay okocha ?
You should take this back, They are both good, i think they had a chance to play together in a team of which i can recall, could that be Paris ?
But Okocha is good at hes own zone and comparison with Ronaldinho hurts my eyes.
Kanu was quite influential for Arsenal in the old days, i think he deserves all of the praises given to him.
My problem with Jay Jay was being so skillfully great and not winning African best in any way!

[CryptopreneurBrainboss]

Nice initiative, atleast now we have a thread to discuss our own professional football league. We already have one for African and now a dedicated one for just Nigerians. Hopefully this thread stays active because I doubt majority watch the league although I follow up development as a result of constantly listening to radio when driving. When I heard Eyimba weren't having a good season I thought maybe they're just shy of the lead but after checking the table, surprising they're sitting at the 8th position with just 7 wins from 17th games played.

That's very poor for a club like Eyimba that has produce some of the finest players from Nigeria.  Hopefully they bounce back quick One issue the NPFL is facing is finances, every now and then you hear stories of unpaid wages and salaries. Things like this is what discourage fans from watching and the poor broadcasting of matches as well. Hopefully we'll pass this phrase.

Please post the official site of NPFL so people who doesn't know much can find it easier to get to know each team. Is there any crypto bookie that covers this league? Has anyone tried to approach the most reputable platforms in this forum to add lines for this league?

[D-law]

Next fixture coming up will be on Friday this weekend... Although it gladdens me to see River's United at the top of the table! Proudly Rivers United fan, hopefully they end up as winner's.
Eyimba versus Plateau United 16:00
Niger Tornadoes versus Remo Star's 16:00.

Full fixture be coming down weekly!

I don't know how Emyimba got this bad for the past 5 years now, they have been struggling to make the top 4, they are currently occupying 7th position on the log, the biggest surprise this season is Rivers United, we narrowly avoided relegation last season and we are already on top of the league this season, we went into the season as underdogs and that really helped ease the pressure to get us the necessary results.

The issue of player salary was addressed a long time ago; we no longer see it on television. The only concern right now is police brutality against our players; there are countless reports on the subject.

Most of the crypto bookmakers excluded Nigeria league because of cryptocurrency restrictions in Nigeria, you can bet on them on our local bookmakers.

I think he is right although Ronaldinho was a youngster when Okocha played with him in PSG. Most of Ronaldinho's skills he learn't from Okocha just that he added some flairs to it. One thing with Okocha is that he didn't win much trophy for Nigerians compared to the name he made in the world of football. Ronaldinho performed better during his career days more than Okocha did in his entire football career. But, in terms of skills I think Okocha is an entertaining footballer like Ronaldinho which leaves me to accept that Ronaldinho copied some skills from Jay Jay Okocha.

Look at Okocha's speech about Ronaldinho copying his skills

Their was many professional league. When the narket leads to good sign, their is pump in the investments.But we need to analysis the game and don't force any one on gambling. Many new clubs player played in this league all over the world. But their player always had a good sign on the gaming. Because they like to play game with some huge bonding. Bonding plays a huge difference in the gaming.

I don't know how Emyimba got this bad for the past 5 years now, they have been struggling to make the top 4, they are currently occupying 7th position on the log, the biggest surprise this season is Rivers United, we narrowly avoided relegation last season and we are already on top of the league this season, we went into the season as underdogs and that really helped ease the pressure to get us the necessary results.

In that five years they won in 2019 and still the highest winners in the tournament. Rivers united been my home club, I'm yet to understand what's going on. Them been at the top is truly a surprise, could it be because they're playing brilliantly or others are playing badly. As for the story of Nigerian Soldiers Beating Up Shooting Stars Footballer For Refusing to Leave Restaurant (Video), I don't understand why our law enforcement officer always take advantage of our celebrities to show power. Before now it was the music industry taking the hit but now they have shifted attention to the footballers.

The good news though among all this is the Men's national coach Eguavoen has named 7 NPFL players he wants to invite to Super Eagles’ squad. This is one of the advantages of having a home grown coach they always pick interest in the local league instead of begging foreign based players to come play for the nation.

Tomorrow fixture Enyimba plays Plateau United. It is going to be a tough match as both teams are league titans. The match will be played in Enyimba International Stadium (Aba), I believe playing at home will give Enyimba the winning psychology they need to win. Rivers United is surprisingly at the top of the table and my home club warri wolves is in relegation.

Enyimba is not that good this season, but what makes this match more unpredictable is because Plateau United is better at home than away, but this kind of match can still favour Plateau United because it has both won and lose in away matches while Enyimba is not playing that good at home like that. All I am expecting in this match is that it is more likely not to be draw but the winner is very unpredictable even as Plateau United is the second leading on the league table.

Is this the same coach that chose only one home-based player for the recently ended AFCON? He included the best keeper in the league, John Noble (Enyimba), only to make him the third choice with zero appearances. Inviting home-based players during friendlies and qualification games is not a new thing; former coach Gernot Rohr did the same thing. After the qualification rounds, the home based players are replaced by international players.

True Enyimba performance has been poor this season but looking at their stats against Plateau United the match is kinda even to me. Regardless of the standings on the league table, I believe Enyimba team can take down Plateau Utd. They can't afford to lose this match at home. I'm expecting goals from both sides, hopefully the coach chooses to play an attacking game instead of defense
