BascoVanVeli: I agree with you. The world cup break was unnecessary. Other leagues didn't stop so why did we? For a player who was unlikely to feature anyway? I'm not defending them just trying to understand. If they had planned better from the start we wouldn't be in this situation but they didn't. However I think they've made the best decision they could have made under the circumstances (Giwa, Dalung, etc). If they played a few more games it still wouldn't be up to 38 before the deadline. I think that's the reason for this decision. I hope they remain open to suggestions because fans will likely not favor this. It makes them look unserious I agree and it's discouraging for those who follow the league. I hope they make the best of it. We might as well resume a new league in a few weeks since we've been three months out. There's talk about 24 teams next season playing in two different divisions like the NNL so I don't think anyone will be relegated. I have also read that there was a vote and the margin was 16-4 in favor of ending the league right now. 1 Like |

BascoVanVeli: See Basco I don't think you are a follower of the league like I used to. Do you know I used to embark on over an hour interstate journey from Akwa-Ibom to Aba to be with Enyimba each time they were playing at home? Such was my passion. I even became a volunteer among the back room staff, and was later placed on stipends. I attended trainings. That was how close I was to Enyimba and the NPFL.That was the era of Coach Ikhana and Okey Emordi. That was the glory years of the indomitable Enyimba with Enyeama and Ayenugba as our top men in between the sticks, players like Romanus Ojinta, Muri Ogunbiyi, Ndidi Anumunu, Onyekachi Okonkwo, Obinna Nwaneri, Emeka Nwanna, Okemiri Ogbonna, Joetex Frimpong, Michael Ochei, just to name some. Also that period Julius Berger was also doing very well. Dolphins also stepped up to challenge Enyimba's dominance. Rangers and Iwuanyawu were also ever present as potential spoilers. Sunday 4pm was "all roads lead to the Aba Township stadium". All jam packed especially for those continental matches. But all those fun fair is gone! Even my Enyimba went on a downward spiral. Gradually my interest faded away, also because I am into something else entirely now. Even if I watch any NPFL game now it can only be the one involving Enyimba. I would rather my TV be on cartoon Network than to Watch a game like Wikki Tourist vs Go round FC. CAF have recently taken away two continental tickets from us and giving them to Mozambique! Mozambique!! of all countries! The NPFL has been on a downward spiral but I think this is the trough of it all. I finally give up on them. 2 Likes |

I'm I the only one that think travel arrangements caused 50% of this joke. Imagine if it was fluid from that world cup break nonsense till now, at least they would have been playing 4 games in 10-12days. Gosh!! When people are saying all angles must be effectively dealt with, these old cargoes don't always reason. They reason with their tummies called experience in a wacky era and expect that such experience would birth excellence. SMH. Two leagues for what we called "Premier League" SMH.

DrLikita12: Well it wouldn't be the first time in history that a league will be shortened but it is not great to hear this type of stuff. Well if nobody gets relegated their is not much to complain about apart from the champion. I agree that the new season should start and the regional thing is not a bad idea because it will lessen the traveling load on the clubs. 1 Like |

Icon4s: The NPFL right now is the best that Nigeria has ever seen boss. How can u call a league that 10 goals get you a golden boot something to write home about. The league is more competitive than ever and we were actually getting things together until this issue. When have Nigerian clubs ever had a sustained dominance on the continent? How many matches like Heartland Vs Pillars have we had in our history? Can u compare that to Zamalek and Al Ahly or even TP Mazembe and AS Vita? These clubs are parading National team players but we can barely keep a lad for 1 month so he can play CHAN. Then our clubs are ran by some people who only want to put money in pocket, Mozambique have players from so many countries in their league but we barely go past Ghana and Benin Republic in search of players. |

why not get the top 6 teams to slug it out in a neutral venue.. using the same format as the Belgian Jupiler League after their regular season, where they all start with the points they have amassed so far? It would take them only about a couple weeks to bring it to a conclusion. DrLikita12: 1 Like |

JoebieII: I don't know what was discussed but I doubt the other 14 teams would have agreed to that- especially the bottom four. Like I said earlier I am not defending them. The world cup break was unnecessary but even with that the league was scheduled to end in September. Giwa and his selfishness just worsened the situation because the calender was already tight. They had a meeting and team owners voted. I don't know the details. I only read that 16 teams were in favor of ending the league now. |
