NPFL Discussion Thread --2021/2022 winner- Rivers United!!!

[usekevin]

Niger tornadoes Vs Remo stars on 4 pm will be the expected one. Tomorrow by this time, we will have a good looking match and his results.Nigerian people are huge addicted to the football and this league was the warm welcome to them. My choice for this game is Remo stars, their game was huge different from the tornadoes. The attacking match of tornadoes will be easily changed by the defending Remo stars.

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.

You will enjoy watching the NPFL if you give it a try especially now that the clubs are loaded with so many talented stars. If you want to be entertained,try and visit Port Harcourt when our own Rivers United is playing at home, you will thank me later. I represent Rivers United, our stadium and pitch is excellent, the price of our tickets are affordable so come let's entertain you with good football.

I'm expecting goals from both sides, hopefully the coach chooses to play an attacking game instead of defense

In this match Eyimba conceding, that I'm certain of but them scoring is a doubt. Look at the statistics of the top 10, they're the least scorers and have the worse goal difference. They're among the worst clubs in that top 10 hopefully this nightmare stop soon.

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.

I didn't follow up this but in his excuse I believe he wasn't the one incharge. He just picked up from where Gernot Rihr left maybe this were the players made available by the previous coach. Eguavoen was the only coach to have won all three group stages of the AFCON after he previously did the same last time he was incharge. Already he's picking interest in the home based league and probably if he get given enough time he'll build a team that can compete against the likes of senagal for the AFCON.

Today's match result
Enyimba 1 - 1 Plateau United
Niger Tornadoes 1 - 0 Remo Stars

Niger tornadoes will host Remo Stars at home, Tornadoes have picked just a point in their last 4 matches and are currently sitting in the relegation zone. They need to win to move out of the relegation zone. Remo Stars has been impressive and are currently 3rd on the table tornadoes will have to work for those points.

Niger Tornadoes won Remo Star and moved up away from the relegation zone. I checked the 9th on the table and the club is only having 23 points while clubs with 18 points are among clubs in the relegation zone, I still see it very impossible to know the clubs that will relegate as the league is highly competitive.

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.

Jay Jay Okocha and Papilo remains the two most selfish Nigerian internationals of this age. I know you people will not like what I have said. They were great during their playing days on the pitch. But since they left active football, nothing has been heard about them in regards to football. They should have taken to coaching or found their way into football administration whether in Nigeria or anywhere else. But they are no where to be found on that. They want to die with their talents without passing it on to anyone. That is selfishness.

This is hilarious! I didn’t know talent could be transferred from one person to another. Maestro75 you just struck gold, put those talents in a bottle and you will be a very rich man. Talent on the pitch doesn’t automatically make one  coaching material. Just because these G.O.A.T. are not coaching the Super Eagles doesn’t mean they are selfish. That’s how you people frustrated Stephen Keshi to the grave. Let J.J Okocha and Papilo be.

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

I was so much into Kanu Nwakwo. He had a different style of play as if he got no strength in him but hmmm , his dribbling skills no be here oo  . Kanu was so determined to make it in football and he did despite going through heart surgery, he continued playing. His determination made peak milk to run an advertorial , using Kanu as a figure in their product. The Nigerian league has produced loads of wonderful players that have played in top clubs in Europe.

You did not know that talent and skills can be transferred? What do you think happens when you learn something from someone? So you did not know that is transfer of talent? Most of us did not know a single thing about bitcoin before coming here but now we can teach others one or two things relating to bitcoin, is that not it? That is because those who are more talented with more knowledge than us in things related to bitcoin transferred knowledge to us. Whether you call it knowledge or talent, both are transferable.

What does he know about football ?
At times people talk out, just to show they're present, what rubbish,now I don't know what I need to do to unsee these shit.
I may not agree with Jay Jay but Kanu was way one of the best talents I have ever seen, I got to learn determination from him.
In the Nigerian history of footballers they're great player also, Celestine Babayaro, Samuel Omokachi etc.

If this is the reason you said both Okocha and Kanu are selfish, I think that is wrong, they are not both selfish, players can decide to continue their career in sport or choose another aspect of profession, we should respect that people have different goals in life. Some people can be very good players but they can lack the knowledge to coach or they are not confident enough for that area as, some people do not like than being players.

A little difficult for me to predict in the Nigerian Football League, some bets I've made have always missed like the Ghana vs. Comoros in January 2022 ago, I thought Ghana could beat the Comoros, it turned out that on the contrary, Ghana was rewarded by the Comoros 3-2.

Of course that doesn't make me give up on betting in the upcoming NPFL league, I will reclaim the 28th next where Ghana will meet Nigeria in the upcoming NPFL league.

For me this time had to hold back and really make a wise decision for Ghana vs. Nigeria, I believe my guess is correct and correct next week.

“Talented with more knowledge”, this sentence is beautiful nonsense. Talent is defined as natural endowments of a person, scientifically there is a chance talents can be passed on genetically from parents to offsprings. As far as I know “Knowledge” is not a talent and can be passed on from one person to another. Do not mistake talent for knowledge/learned skill. You have knowledge about bitcoin, can you be referred to as a talented bitcoiner?

The relationship Ghana and Nigeria is a love hate relationship. The match had already raised  heated arguments on social media. The battle on twitter has already started. It is not just football, it is music, jollof rice battle, we are always in competition.  There is a lot of tension about this match,  Super Eagles will have to be at their best form, the pride of the nation is at stake. The rivalry between the two countries has been around for as long as I can remember.

Totally agree with you, Ghana is striving hard to become greater than Nigeria, not just in sports but also in the movies and music industry, we all know that Nigeria is highly blessed in almost everything, both in entertainment and natural resources, the only problem we have as a country have always been bad leaders/government.
But then, Ghana's frustration and jealousy is understandable, but they should know that Nigeria will always stand out, our super eagles do not disappoint when they are in good form, so i like everyone else urge them to go and make Nigeria proud as always.

NPFL is not the same as the Africa continental tournaments, they are different. NPFL are clubs in Nigeria and not beyond Nigeria. From livescores, this is their next matches:

https://www.livescores.com/football/nigeria/?tz=1

This is the league table:
https://www.livescores.com/football/nigeria/npfl/?tz=1

It would be good if such matches are available on crypto gambling sites but the last time I staked NPFL matches on betting site was one of the Nigeria gambling sites and I lost that day, because home team usually win and was with very small odd but away team won that day as I went for the home team.

“Talented with more knowledge”, this sentence is beautiful nonsense.

There are somethings you learn and very skilled at that people will say you are talented about it, some people's talent are not shown until they learn about that thing, but they will notice that they find it easy and see it like passion and they stand out from among other people that are doing the same thing. But in case of Okocha and Kanu to coach, that does not apply, so I can not say you are wrong.

Totally agree with you, Ghana is striving hard to become greater than Nigeria, not just in sports but also in the movies and music industry, we all know that Nigeria is highly blessed in almost everything, both in entertainment and natural resources, the only problem we have as a country have always been bad leaders/government.

Do not let us move this topic out from NPFL. But let me add before that, in Music, Nigeria has no competitor, Ghana can do English speaking movies, but no one like Nollywood. In economy, I choose Ghana, not GDP because Nigeria is the giant but in standard of living, I choose Ghana.

You, what do you know about football? You do not have any right to talk down on me because our views are not the same. You can state yours and allow me believe what I believe. No one has to see the other person as saying nonsense like some of you people are reacting to my post here in your comments. I read all the comments and I laugh. Stop this attitude. We are not dragging anything here.

It's so strange to hear that Rivers Angels lost in Port Harcourt to Royal Queens. This is Rivers Angels third loss this season, as defending champions much is expected from the club. The players from Warri ( Royal Queens) were coordinated and were the better team today. Franklin Arinze aka Pep Guardiola was on the sidelines shouting instructions to the players. I’m shocked that Rivers Angels would lose at home.
I hope you guys don’t mind me adding the women’s league discussion here. A separate thread for the women’s football league will not be very much active.

Coaching is a different profession all together than just knowing how to play football. Coaching has to do with managing people and that's something most of our prayers don't have. I see Jay Jay today advertising bet sites like he's still in his 20 like all this Internet comedies we have. Our stars don't plan their life if not they would be relaxing well and leaving life of vacation after vacation. They just waste all their funds, if they were planning on coaching then they should have immediately enrolled in coaching institute when they retired and I'm sure after having some success with coaching home based or international clubs they'll be favorite for the job.

I see Kanu all over endorsing Ponzi scheme like Omega Pro etc claiming they're trading forex when we know (from experience) they're just MLM companies with Ponzi mindsets. Okay even without Jay Jay coaching he still had some influence like with his cousin Iwobi that had been playing for super eagle without any impact. Please lets not suggest the national team as a retirement home for our previous players all in the name of coaching.

That is part of the thing am saying. Their mindset is to make money no matter the type of business it is without thinking of how to give back to the country in human development. Kanu was used to advertise land sale in the east in 2021 at N18,000 per plot. They called it Papilo Estate. Nobody hears about it any more today. Look at what Oliseh is doing abroad. Look at Amunike, Austin Egueavon, late Keshi. This players were not as brilliant as JJ and Kanu but they choose coaching to help out instead of money money money. That is the way am seeing it before someone misunderstands me again.

This week matches:



This type of matches are not easy to predict, but likely Rivers United FC will either win/draw with Akwa United, but either there will be no odd for win/draw or the odd will be too low and discouraging to stake.

I will like to watch this match, is there any channel on DSTV this can be possible?
