THE ONLY WAY FORWARD:

Post by Igugu »

It is time we started demanding An Independent Football League in Nigeria. The NFF must have a time table for all our Premier League to be independent of the government oversite. We have rich money bags in Nigeria. Let NFF give each football club a 5 or 7 or 10 Years time schedule to build their club to the standard of the likes in Europe or South America. That means: they have to have their stadia ready by then, they have to have their all other infrastructures and financial plans in place and ready to be self financing and promoting. Marketing the League must be the function of the NFF, and the NFF must set the salar, y caps for the players and the progression of salary increases.

Some years ago, we were laughing at MLS of United States, but now we can see the progress they have made. And US have been planning since 1994 World Cup.

You are preaching to the choir. Guys on this site don't understand anything you just wrote. You made good points. However you can't leave the Federal government out of this because you need them to regulate things (upholding law and order so to speak).

Let me digress a little bit: Nollywood would have been a lot better if the government had been involved in the regulation and enforcing the law. With government's involvement piracy would be deterred greatly. Now translate that to football and you'd see why I support their involvement.

True. Over confidence killed them.

BTW: CONCACAF is just one tough region!

Reads well on page but theirs one salient point overlooked....T.I.N, this is Nigeria, there can be no infrastructure, no self sustenance, no orderly fashion and function. Clubs will be run amock as scores of hands dip into the pot to grab their piece of chicken. All these utopian ideals for a terminally ill dystopia. What infrastructure, can they provide for 24 hours, road safety, security and sanitation, talk less of a functional footballing empire. Can they provide salaries on time, can they fend off agents human trafficking uncles to Belgium via Romania, with one instruction, “sey yor sisstin”...Theres a reason why it hasn’t changed in all the years this utopian ideal has been postulated. Mitochondria, protease, guanine, cytosine.

We have to push it though. It must be brought up to the fore. Without a proper and independent local league we cannot go anywhere. The mind set will not change and the vision will not be realized.
