My country pipo, country don hard ooo. No be small thing.
Dis one wey Naija players dey japa go Tanzania for a better life?
At least, for Tanzania, man go see something chop. Make hunger no kill man pikin for Naija!
Congrats ooo. When you reach Simba FC, say hi to Mufasa for me. Hakuna matata!
Yanga is Young Africans FC, one of the 3 giants of Tanzanian football.
Going by the recent performances of Tanzanian clubs in CAF competitions and the financial viability of the Tanzanian league, the earlier we started seeing a move from the NPFL to Tanzania as a step up, the better.
Always on point Dr Drey. Great comment here bro. I watched one of their league games on YouTube which left me very impressed indeed.
Dr. Drey, omato ijọmęta kę. However, please I just want to advice you based on what you said above.
No matter how better or a Tanzania league has improved of recent, the league can’t be compared to Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and South African leagues. So what do want our players to do in such a league.
It is not fair to expect our home based players to join a Tanzania league.
Although our league is nothing but a shambolic it has been for so long but at the same time, that doesn’t mean our home based players has no potentials.
Please Dr. Drey, let’s wish our home based players well. Tanzania league is out of it. Do have a good day Doctor. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
I would have put my house on Dr. Drey’s initial comment as being sarcastic.
I didn’t know that Tanzania league has become a benchmark for professional football excellence.
Young Naija players, there you have it.
Y’all need to keep working and striving hard, so you can move on to “elite” leagues like the Tanzania league.
Tanzania league has all of a sudden become the eureka destination for our top local young players.
Hahahaha! LOBATAN!
Finally in Simba Fc player
