The English Premier League is one of the most exciting
football leagues in the world. Thus, it is unsurprising that many Nigerians are
addicted to it.
Every weekend, viewing centres are filled with football
fans watching Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Manchester
City among other EPL clubs. It is, therefore, near impossible to end the
attachment of Nigerians to the premier league.
Nonetheless, Jumia Travel identifies five reasons
Nigerians should stop watching the EPL.
The
Nigerian League is now exciting and better organized
Since the league management body started managing the
Nigerian League, they have made concerted efforts to make the league more
exciting and interesting. They have ensured that the stadiums are TV friendly
and the players and fans obey rules and regulation. Most importantly, the
matches are on Pay TV. This has encouraged players to give out their best and
you now see a Nigerian league player scoring a hat-trick.
You
get real life stadium experience in the NPFL
To watch a Nigerian League match is very affordable and
inexpensive. You don’t have to break the bank. Except you have a deep pocket,
you cannot travel the England to watch Arsenal. So, with the NPFL, you can
watch Kano Pillars live in Kano or watch Remo Stars in Sagamu. You get the
stadium experience.
You
can support professionally run private clubs
Unlike in the past when the 20 clubs in the Nigeria
Professional Football League are government owned, there are now privately
owned clubs that are professionally managed. We have The Mountain of Fire
Football Club, Ifeanyi Ubah FC, and Remo stars. You can support these clubs
because they churn out EPL like football week in, week out.
Nigerian
Stadiums are safe
Many Nigerians have the mindset that whenever they
visit the stadium, they will be harassed and waylaid. This is in the past. They
are now safe because it is now incumbent on clubs to provide security for fans
and players alike.
We
will support our own
Nigerians don’t seem to support their own. Like they
have a knack for foreign products, it is the same for football. Even the
Nigerian Super Eagles team is coached by a foreigner. We stop watching the
premier league and support the Nigerian league by going to stadiums to watch
their favorite Nigerian club.
