I’m pretty sure hundred and thousands of Nigerians reading this article will be very much shocked and perturbed to understand the reason behind such statement. However, with the pathetic state and the performances the Nigerian club are displaying in Africa with reference to the CAF champions league it is a note of worry to us Nigerians and the Nigerian Premier League at large

It deserves to be observed that Enugu Rangers(The Champions of the League), Rivers United, Wikki Tourist, Ifeanyi Uba all represented us in the Continent and behold, they all wobble and fumble with only Rivers United been able to qualify for the confederation cup which is the 2nd tier of African Club competition. However the question goes as thus, why are Nigerian clubs doing badly in the continent? Well, it’s quite simple we don’t have enough talent in the league that we believe we have
Interestingly, people will definitely not agree with me but the truth of the matter is we don’t have talent in the league what we have are all bunch of average players plying their trade in the league no wonder Gernot Rohr have no trust in the local players reason why he is travelling around Europe in search of Nigerians players in Europe to help him prosecute games for Russia 2018.

For Nigeria football to lay an indelible footprint locally and internationally, we need to metamorphose and transform our league. We need to have a resounding academy where the young ones will be able graduate from the academies of these clubs to the senior team. It is astonishing to know our football clubs don’t have academies. Besides, Spain Germany have taught us a good lesson when they won 2010 and 2014 world cup with 80 percent of players playing in their respectively leagues. Hence, for us to make any impact in the global stage our league needs to be in good shape so players can be able to represent the National team

In the final analysis, we say our league is one of the best in Africa in terms of talent but only Enyimba FC have been able to conquer the Africa Continent twice while winning it back to back beating Ismaily and Etoile du Sahel in the final. Also, the AFCON tournament competition for locally based players still the best we had was finishing third led by the late Stephen Keshi. Thus, so why do us Nigerians like deceive ourselves.

I guess the notion that the Nigerian Premier League is the best in Africa is just an Over statement.

Your opinion is highly welcome
