WAHALA DEY OOOOOO
WHAT IS HAPPEN TO NIGERIA LEAGUE THAT IS MAKING OUR PLAYERS LEAVE FOR LOW PROFILE COUNTRY THAT DIDN’T HAVE OIL-WELL.
OR ARE THEY PAYING WELL THAN NIGERIA THAT HAVE SO MANY OIL-WELL???
Or is minimum wages also affecting Nigeria league players???
Nigerian government should create enabling environment for sports to thrive, then you will see Tanzanians flooding to Nigerian divisions 1 and 2 leagues for that matter.
I couldn’t give a rat’s behind what anybody says, from what I observed, Tanzanian league looks stable, well organised, well managed and well marketed.
Thanks.
