Nigerian Football Association (NFA)and The Nigerian Football League (NFL)

To many including my self, the NFA has come to be synonymous with Inefficiency, unprofessionalism and problem saddled. A few years ago, we woke up to hear of a sponsorship deal sealed between the NFA and Nigeria's second national carrier Globalcom. A deal many thought was the lease of fresh air badly needed as at the time. Ofcourse, the league was never attractive for investors and in my opinion it still isn't.

We all agree that the amount comming into the league was infinitesimal as compared to what is actually needed to raise the standard.

Then the MTN proposal. MTN, Africa's most profitable telecommunication network, is said to have proposed a N550m per season for 4 season deal compared to Globalcom's N100m per season offer.

This amount, said to be the highest in Africa, even higher than what CAF has been able to get from the same firm for the glamorous CAF Champions League, is an eye popping amount and can lead to miscalculations in the magnitude we are withnessing currently in the NFL.

While we are all very happy that atlast, that amount of money is comming into the league, we are also aware of the fact that a contract no matter how lopsided it may later appear should be seen to it's logical conclussion
.
The debate is, does the NFL have any moral justification to hand the league sponsorship to MTN . Do they not? Please let's hear your views.

This is the current debate on Naija Football Fans Forum.

Join us there!

All hail Naija Man U Fans !!

I'm just realising how difficult blogging is! Or do i say writting.While I like the art of writing, i sure don't appreciate having to write every day.

So i actually feel like telling you to stop comming to this blog expecting to read something knew everyday. If not that i'm a die hard critic and perfectionist, i would have just let the stuff on this blog go stale.Yet i know what i'd say about anyone who does that. See? The life of a critic! I'm I trapped!

Then you start thinking, the saying that it is a thousand times easier to criticise than to create is incorrect. As i am finding out, it is far more difficult to criticise than to create. Think.Yeah right. I create quit easily and if I wasn't such a stunch critic of everything and anything, I probably wouldn't be here pounding away on my notebook keys writting about what i don't even think would be coherent enough to force a comprehension from the most brilliant of my readers. So if you would just do me a favour and stop comming back to this blog. I'd been more relax. But you wouldn't, and so i have to keep trying to please you.

See? Critics are afraid of being criticised. So they work their ass out trying to be perfect (something that is impossible).That's my transition.

I'm not complaining though.Just appreciating my task.

Now back to the cause of this lamentation. I am starting to have a change of opinion. My forum Naijafootballfans is putting me so much in the center of things. I am not just disapponted at Arsenal's perfomance against West Ham yesterday, but totally pissed, i mean amazed by the attitude of the fans. I had thought that being known as the most vocal (not garrulous) of fans, that Naija Football Fans was going to be taken over by them. Rather, Naija Red Devils have just been the ones living up.
I bet they are about to set another 2 decade record after Sir's.

This is a challenge to Arsenal, Chelsea and more.....
In the mean time i duff my hat to all the Man U Fans on the forum.
Till tomorrow. 'cause i know you'll be back.

Nigerian Football Fans Forum Keeping it Original

After spending so much time and money setting up face6.My pet project which is still undergoing more work.... I could not believe that Naija Football Fans Forum would have taken so little time to complete. It was as if i wasn't ready when i was ready. It now takes most of the time i spend online.

I went back home yesterday and for the first time i was thinking through out the night. What issues i'm i going to bring up on Naijafootball fans today. As well as i knew i had to keep it simple, intelligent and interesting, i also knew i have to be up to date. It's like i'm under so much pressure to keep it real. Like they say "KISS" Keep it simple stupid. Or is it Keep it simply sexy?
Honestly speaking, i never envisaged the acceptance i am seeing now.
All in all i am enjoying my knew challenge.The challenge of being the admin of a site that promises to be an online craze.
If he pass my power i go ever seek help!
The real challenge however is the challenge of originality.That is however why i believe it can be done. For if there is anything i know how to do, it's to be original.

Some issues don't just get the the desired attention. So i decided i was going to start a quiz.Its quit a difficult one though.But you go blame me?How else i'm i supposed to let my forum members know i shouldn't be taken for a football novice.I must show stuff now , how you see am?
Catah ya in the 'morrow.

NIgerian Football Fans First Online Home Lunched

Atlast the yearnings of Nigerian football fans all
over the world find an answer.There are a couple of
forums online where football is dicussed and
partaking in these forums have been the norms in my
many years of internet voyage. However while users
are usually satisfied with these forums,Nigerians
(like my self) actually needed something that gave
some preference to our own football back home. We
Nigerians are know to be costodians of many lofty
ideas in various life endeavours with football not
being an exception.
I then reseaned thus: If we had a community where
Nigerians at home and in the diaspora can dedicate
time and energy on issues that has to do with our
hailing football, maybe at last, we just might find a
solution to the perenial crisis in our football house
and in extension a solution to all our football woes.
Beside it could also serve as a veritable means to
enjoy ones self and it could just be one of the rare
cases of mixing business with pleasure.These reseasoning

however gave bith to Nigeria's
foremost online football community:
WWW.naijafootballfans.com .Naija football Fans is not
just another online forum.Proffessionally runed and
managed by it's administrators, it is set to be the
biggest online craze in the history of football in
Nigeria.Just 4 days old,already has an unprecedented
membership sign up that is a pointer of its
acceptance by Nigerians who are who regard football
as another religion.
www.naijafootballfans.com as designed has a potpury
of discussion boards, among several inovative forums
you would appreciate only by signing up.
For me the promoter, i am braced up for the
challenges, knowing how demanding We nigerians are.It
just makes it more interesting.Nevertheless, i am
happy that at last, our teeming football fans at home
and in the diaspora now have a home wholely dedicated
to football.
