We talk about Ndidi, Kele and other European based Naija ballers, within the fusion of Nigeria and European football. Where will you draw the boundaries?
In any case, forum is about traffic and vibrancy and not about a closed group. You might well have text messages for that :tic:

Most come every day because there are other conversation to be had while we wait for some activities to occur within Nigerian football. Some of you might even think a quarter of those here have any allegiance to Nigerian clubs. They are more likely to have allegiance to Nigerian players.
Remove the number of threads not Nogeria football related, the number of views and the number of contributions and what do you have left?
Even dedicated club forums have international and other football related threads and sections

Niche don't always remain a niche. This is the age of blogging and web news.
Don't think your attempt at trying to create a niche will have desired results

IMHO, calling this site Eagles Nest is a travesty because it might be more appropriately titled global soccer. It has little to do with Nigeria's Super Eagles, or Nigerian football for that matter. IMHO, soon we will be overtaken by other sites discussing strictly Nigerian football. As of the moment, several WhatsApp groups have begun to emerge to do this. It is only a matter of time. Several contributors/members have left because of this EPL focus. Some, as far as I know, are contributing regularly on Nigerian football in emerging WhatsApp Groups.

We once had a niche but sadly that niche has disappeared. That is a fact.

In total agreement. I hereby move that a forum be created strictly for the EPL and European Leagues. The Eagles Nest should be only for Nigerian football related items, and as the name imples, for the Eagles...the Super Eagles, Flying Eagles and other national teams.
That's guaranteed to kill the SE section of EN. Nigeria in all our various age related teams are not active enough to sustain a healthy, vibrant conversation.
You people should be careful what you ask for.
When was the last time most of you contributed to the Nigerian league thread?

You should be glad the pages are being refreshed regularly. Try going to Ghanaweb
There is not a single sane member here that is here because he is able to discuss European Football. This is only in the minds of few EPL radicals here ... you know, the guys that do thanksgiving in church when their EPL team win.

Please someone need to direct me to any whatsapp group where real eagle affairs are discussed.

Chief .. there is actually quite a bit on Nigerian players Here . I don't contribute here much but the little I glean from here when I share in Nigerian circles. people marvel at my depth of knowledge :mrgreen:

Yes its true that EPL tends to be where the primary action is but as I type there are least 10-15 threads on Nigerian players on the first page alone . I believe that is sufficient . When ANC or WC comes around there tends to be a spike in stritly Nigeria related activity

So 10 to 15 threads on Nigerian players out of about 60 threads on the first page is sufficient on a Nigerian soccer website? I would rather discuss Ashante Kotoko or Ghana Black stars (where is the puking smiley?) than what is going on!

I think we should just shut the Eagles Nest down and be done with!

I think the way Tottenham fans handle their stuff on here should be commended. They generally have one large thread that is updated for each match they are in, be it league or cups, and they comment in there. Manure fans show a slightly similar restraint, except for a certain busi-body voyeur troll who spams the forum by opening multiple Manure threads and other threads goading other teams. If each team could have ONE dedicated THREAD assigned to it, or we do it by major leagues, that may help to clean up the forum a bit, and at the same time avoid creating ghost forums where Naija football is not discussed.

My 2 cents.

Perhaps foreign leagues like La Liga and EPL should have their own sub-pages on CE?

Eagles Nest will be barren if that happens. A good amount of CEs don't have regular access to Nigerian Premier League games, the Super Eagles aren't playing week in and week out. In addition messageboards are dying out thanks to twitter and whatsapp.

They already have such websites all over the web. This should a Super Eagles website. If it will die off because it is made the site it was meant to be, let it die off.

That's guaranteed to kill the SE section of EN. Nigeria in all our various age related teams are not active enough to sustain a healthy, vibrant conversation.
You people should be careful what you ask for.
When was the last time most of you contributed to the Nigerian league thread?

You should be glad the pages are being refreshed regularly. Try going to Ghanaweb
Eagles Nest will be barren if that happens. A good amount of CEs don't have regular access to Nigerian Premier League games, the Super Eagles aren't playing week in and week out. In addition messageboards are dying out thanks to twitter and whatsapp.
you will fill the void with your one liners that go over most posters heads.
Saints baby we did it

Tufiakwa!
In total agreement. I hereby move that a forum be created strictly for the EPL and European Leagues. The Eagles Nest should be only for Nigerian football related items, and as the name imples, for the Eagles...the Super Eagles, Flying Eagles and other national teams.
Thank you sir. This is what I have always wanted.

If you check the threads carefully, only a handful of people with questionable employment status flood this board with EPL and Europeans football threads. All these talk about the forum will die off if we ban such threads is not based on any statistics. I say we try it for 6 months and if the forum does indeed die off, I will personally beg those JB-less members to come back. It's not like they have any gaddem job that will keep them busy once they leave here.
