I'm happy for Osimhen. Nice to know we are slowly emerging from the dark days of not having any notable names in football, representing us at the world stage. Today, we are competing with Senegal and Morocco, as far as notable names go, but even better, ours is a young crop, with another decade to go give or take. A promising group of ballers, we even have a teenage goalie, who won't be retiring soon. On the flip side, I'm rather unhappy at what has become of our age grade teams. At the rate the age grade teams are going, what with the many tales of biased selections and unmerited positions, a time may come that we won't have any homegrown ballers to turn to in the senior team. We may have to outsource everything, so, get ready for more foreign born players in the Nigerian senior team, since the folks responsible for unearthing talent on the home front are looking to make a quick buck. On this note, I am particularly concerned for my bro, Omanbala. How long will his hatred for foreign born players, especially those of the British stock, last? Will he be alright in the coming years, when the inevitable happens? Let us remember him, while we ruminate on these words ![]() 10 Likes |

The Unprofessional Football League : Kunle Soname Spoke The Startling Truth….. Remo Stars FC of Ogun State is presently one of the top club side parading young players. Since their emergence as a league side, the team has continue to feed its ideology of players development and youthfulness philosophy . The Chairman of the Club, Hon. Kunle Soname in 2015 made the headlines by being the first Nigerian to own a top European Football Club. The business mogul purchased 70% of the club deal which made him the owner of Portuguese side, Club Derpostivo Feirense. It was one of the biggest story the Nigerian football ideology will produce in century. Much so, many future are secured through this unprecedented efforts. The deal according to him will create a viable platform for players transfer, training for officials and administrators which in the long run will expand the horizon of development of people involved and the Nigeria football system at large. The Ikene born business tycoon speaking recently at the Gateway United’s Stakeholders Forum in Abeokuta bemoaned the poor structure and less enterprising status of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). Startling! As a football investor, Hon. Soname noted, the league is a waste of time, energy, resources and money as he said he will rather focus on the development of players than any financial gains from owing a club in the Nigeria League. Remo Stars is one of the few private owned club in the Nigeria top league, if a private football investor would bear such remarks on the league, what tale would state Government which owns bunch of the top flight sides comment, A total waste of tax payers money. The common cliché of Government business is not a business would justify the fact that no state government has really earned significant economic benefits from their owned club. The handwriting of the Remo Stars Chief indicates that Nigeria League does not or never commensurate the investment being expended on it. The Remo Stars Chief noted that his team has been in the NPFL twice and on both occasion were relegated. Neither rocket science or magic is the effort needed to transform the league. The insincerity of the administrators which will drive the transformation is missing and there is no two way about that. Quite different, Chief Soname confirmed he has sent 14 young boys to Europe in the last 4 years. It is indeed a narrative changing focus as no team ever come close to that transfer record. The fire brigade approach and unprofessional direction of the league has render many of the club sides less productive. With or without sponsor, how weighty would the compensation of Premier League teams after their participation in a league season and how much will the transfer of 14 players to Europe with clauses of agreement attached would earn a team. Glaring is the difference. The Soname’s comment further established the notion of wrong people handling the league. Football is a business and should have it’s interest being protected at all times. The game has grown beyond mere rhetorics and now have significant effect in economic might of a society. What we are missing as a country through sport could not be quantified. Apart from few, none of the Government owned club sides have a legacy of accountability or transparency even as Government subvention continue to fall into the club year in year out. Recently, a newly inaugurated management of a state owned club complained bitterly after taking over the club. It was noted that the club only owned 7 players among all the players serving the club, while others are loaned players. It comes to mind that as a Government owned team that never pay taxes, pay for stadium, why should getting best legs services for a team proved so demanding. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result is considered witless, so much that an unpackaged league may never be rewarding. While we watch keenly when the league will live up to its best, development of players will continue to provide succour for whoever among the football investors thought it wise to prioritized.

tbaba1234:the defenders of NPFL are coming to drag you, they'll tell you how you hate the league. We'll need to cleanse the country of corruption before we start talking about reforming the league, corruption is one of the major problems with the league and as we all know virtually all Nigerians one way or the other enjoy corruption. |

You are indirectly playing down Osimhen achievement of winning the lique1 player of the month of September using the nonsense rhetoric of French league being less competitive. You underpined your proposition citing how slimani flop in the epl but now flying high in the French league. Osimhen light is brighter than your hate. Instead of you to congratulate Osimhen for his achievement but u are busy mastubating on your nonsense proposition. Do me a favor bro,,... Gerrahere for real.. 10 Likes 3 Shares |

kellycute: Let's go back to basics, what is prejudice❓ an unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought, or reason. I raised a cogent and relevant observation about the ascendancy from football obscurity of Islam Slimani. Who Osimhen just beat to get player of the month. Slimani is a Leicester city player just like KC and thier situations are very similar. Both have been very poor over the past three seasons in the EPL In that context to then deduce that if KC were to move to the French league one he may have a change of fortune. That makes perfect common sense. You are guilty of being bigoted with double standard and blindly prejudiced with negative bias and presumption. Not me. On this thread we practice EXCLUSION and not INCLUSION you would think there are only 2/3 Nigerian players doing well. There is no need for me to join and add to the commendations given to Osimhen when the whole thread is overwhelmingly singing his praises continously. It's just repetition of fact, it's boring to me. So because I don't join the Aladura hallelujah choir to sing the praises of Osimhen l HATE him. Look at how you think and make deductions and maybe you describe yourself as a progressive Nigerian youth. So when l say you are prejudiced and bigoted l say it objectively not emotively. NUFF SAID. 6 Likes |

Someone that okazaki even got more minutes than and you are here calling him flop? Slimani is always injured or comming from the bench, starting only few games You are trying to play down osimhen doing well in the french league Slimani did better in the epl than the turkish league so does that make the turkish league stronger than the epl? 2 Likes 1 Share |
