Our people don cray: Why do Nigerians love the EPL
Apologies if posted. Did not see anywhere.
Crazy stuff. More Chelsea shirts sold in Lagos than any other place except London! Wow.
These shirts cost a pretty penny and I send thousands home a year to people because they all say they a suffering. Then i get home and my cousins don already buy new Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Madrid and Barcelona kits. Home and away. If only we had this sort of passion for our local teams!

Re: Our people don cray: Why do Nigerians love the EPL
It's the only sort of sports entertainment in NIGERIA and it fits our groupie tendancies. Most of the people who bought kits do so because other people have them, not because they actually support the team. There's not enough electricity in NIGERIA to support the epl fan base
OCCUPY NFF!!

Re: Our people don cray: Why do Nigerians love the EPL
On a slightly different tangent I landed back in London after a week in Zimbabwe. I saw plenty of Arsenal tops. The only thing is I have never seen any of these tops in the armoury. Silent Stan would surely be outraged on all the revenue he is being cheated out of.
I would imagine the majority of all these Chelsea fans in Nigeria do not have the official Chelsea top

We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Nobody beats Nigerians when it comes to copying the stupidity of others. We never learn from the English about keeping records, about organisation, about providing free healthcare and education, about constant electricity supply. No, we adopt an English club, copy their brain dead programmes like Big Brother, etc.

Re: Our people don cray: Why do Nigerians love the EPL
The price of the originals is beyond the average local Naija footie fan. Even the ticket prices is beyond the capacity of the vast majority, hence if and when the EPL clubs visit, few fans can afford to watch as seen in Abuja. Watching at local bars and viewing centres, buying fakes & knock offs is what is affordable to many.nemi2002 wrote:Most of those shirts are not original shirts.

Escapism.
If na just for 90mins, its still worth getting away from the minute-to-minute stress that is daily Nigerian life. Even out here, I have found myself focussing on an upcoming EPL game (or a Super Eagles game, even sometimes a Golden Eaglets game) to help carry me through a stressful period.
It is no coincidence that the Nigerian entertainment industry is said to be the only sector unaffected by the recession.

Even our FA president is a self professed Arsenal fan who goes to the Emirates regularly to watch games donning the Arsenal Jersey. We have even had people conduct the Nigeria FA cup draws recently donning a Chelsea jersey. Little things like these matter.

Meanwhile I know of many who don the real thing, ordered directly from the EPL clubs, many of them personalized wrt names on them.
