The announcement throws up more questions than answers.
Who are Next TV?
Do they have the capability?
How many matches on TV over 5 years?
What is “multi-million naira?
It says at the bottom $225m, that is multi billion naira
How come it is not on ANY NFF/LMC or NPFL platform?
It lacks details.
Thanks BigD. You raise very serious questions.
My brother too much sense no go kill you o. I just hope this is true. Our league has really suffered.
“….Meanwhile a reliable source from the league body revealed that the total projected income revenue from the deal and other commercial inflows is worth over 225 million dollars in five years….!”
No wonder there is a serious battle for the soul of the FA
$225,000,000 is equivalent to N81,000,000,000. What is multimillion Naira their? Una never tell us the real story yet.
The above figure for the contract $225,000,000 is equal to N81,000,000,000.00 in five
years. This automatically translate to sixteen billion, two hundred million naira
( 16,200,000,000. ) per year. This kind of contract is not multi-million but is MULTI-
BILLION naira project. Nigerians, please take note. I rest my case here.
