Then some people will not feel shame saying opening mouth Waaaaa and saying “Giant of Africa”. Yeye everywhere.
You are in a world of your own. I wish I understood what you were trying to express. I think Nigerian league is bad but I don’t think it is worst than Tanzanian. By the way this guy plays in Rwanda. Not Tanzania.
@UGO IWUNZE pushing another tortured leap of logic…LMAO
Dude, Elijah Ani was a RESERVE at Enugu Rangers who was struggling for playing time. Accordingly, even if he had left for the MOON those starters “left over” at Enugu Rangers are still BETTER than he is.
BTW, the fight for the Golden Boot in the Rwanda League is between Ani and Victor Mboama (younger brother of Enyimba’s Chijioke Mboama) was just another okay player struggling for minutes in the NPFL.
Players leave the NPFL and move to places like Rwanda, Tanzania, even South Africa, for ECONOMIC/FINANCIAL reasons (just like many other “japa” Nigerians). It’s and NOT because those leagues are stronger.
