5 Things I'm Tired Of Hearing Nigerian Football Fans Say / Nigerian Commentators Should Keep Commenting On Our Serious Matches / Why Nigerian Commentators Should Not Comment On Serious Matches (2) (3) (4)
What Is Really The Problem With Nigerian Football Commentators by toluwalomo(m): 4:35pm On Feb 12, 2009 |
I always try to avoid a Nigerian commentary for any football match. Why? Most Nigerian commentators really do not know what their job entails. They are always partisan in their views, hardly add excitement to the match and brag about beating opponents. Nigeria vs Jamaican was no different. The commentators were already yapping how Nigeria would whump Jamaica silly. When Jamaicans were playing the better football, rather than recognize this, they were urging Nigeria towards upping their game. And even when Taiye Taiwo and the Jamaican was shown a card, they lambasted the refeeree for a wrong call. Taiwo was more physical in the exchange with the players. And would have been sent off, if not the Jamaican player then pushed the official out of the way. Is this the way to go when analysing football. South American analysts are passionater about thier football but still maintain objectivity |

It is a shame the way things are done in this part of the world; it is not only the people at the top that doesn't make effort to improve on their profession; the guy in question have always been like that since I notice in program when AIT started using him, I think it is time people from entertainment world starts looking at sport comentary, image Oliseh who works with Cool FM to add sports comentary to his profile, he will do well, it is unfortunate because sports commentary don't need too much noice. When you listen to EPL commentary you feel the entire commentary is done by only two persons, yet they are about 10 of them, but they follow a particular script and until we modify our own, there is no way we can ever get close. check the match between England and Spain, you will think the commentators are not from England. I hope DAARSAT is not trying to introduce this type of commentary during the world cup. Come to think of it, some of these guys spend some time in England, why can't they use the opportunity to educate themselves more on how to be neutral while running commentary. |

Didn't watch the Naija-Jamo game. But if you've ever come across a Glo Premier League gme on Supersports,or rather mistakenly tuned into one,the commentary is ATROCIOUS! |

I think the problem is that they forget that they're there to do a job i.e. report on the game and not to be entertained. So what ends up happening is that they forget themselves and begin to talk as if they're in their parlour watching the game with their neighbour with some suya and big stout. For example, I remember one match Nigeria was playing and there was no light and so we were listening on radio and then the commentator said something like "Jesus! Jesus!! Jesus!!! <long pause> Oh no!!! Ah he didn't score! He should have passed that ball!" And to us who couldn't see and were just listening, each time he said "Jesus," we were shouting too like "what? what happened? Who? Who should have passed that ball? To whom? What's going on?" To be fair, not all are equally bad. Some are definitely better than others, but still, most are not really up to it. At all!!! |

Their commentaries are very biased and poor command of the english language doesn't help either |
