THE DREAM: A new NPFL and Nigeria's football....

Post by Enugu II »

Today, football is DEAD locally. There are still talents that can be found but it is taking finding a needle in a haystack to find such talent because many of such talents are now sweating somewhere in other parts of Africa, Asia, or Europe.
The success of the movie and music industry could be attributed to private interest ingenuity and the inability and disinterest of the state in resisting. For football, it is exactly the opposite. The state's interest in the current football decay is entrenched. It is a pipeline for siphoning funds and for compensating underlings.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

EII,

As things stand now, the private clubs cannot form their own league and will have to co-exist with the government clubs and gradually work their way to dominate and take over the LMC (which is strictly not a government-sponsored body and hence doable).
It is going to take time which may discourage many investors from going into it. Even getting into the NPFL will take time because they have to start from the bottom and compete with other bottom teams like the blank shooters ( :taunt: ) unless they are able to buy over an existing club.
