The problem of Nigerian football across @thenff with the national teams and the @LMCNPFL with the #NPFL teams is the lack of professionals in key positions of teams. The @NGSuperEagles did not have the right back room and same with the clubs in the league. Football is science now
Football is no longer a game tied to just talent and luck. We need professional scouting of the opposition, full detailed analysis of our team's strength and weakness and same for the oppositions. There is an arrogance that goes with just banking on your talent and luck.
That arrogance, in on itself is the gateway to failure. It happened with our #NPFL teams playing every year on the continents, I saw it first hand with the Super Eagles in Cameroon. All the energies expanded on bringing politicians to do team talks, should be better invested.

Dikko; "Before we had challenges with our TV partners, we had introduced not just prize money, apart from the prize money, we were paying the basic money. We were paying the technical and development money."
Dikko; "Remember, people use to forget but history will remember us for this, there were times we were paying for away goals scored, we were paying for away wins away draws, if you have 5,000 fans in your stadium, if you play Under-18 players, we’re all paying clubs for that.”

I had a conversation with @biolakazeem yesterday after my Tweet about Theofilus Afelokhai.
I have also seen a lot of people doubting my information.
I'm 10 years into covering the NPFL, so when I talk, I don't just talk for clout, I speak as an insider.

I will say this again, Afelokhai is currently earning N800,000 monthly at Enyimba & he has requested for N1 million on his new contract with Rivers Utd offering N1.2 million monthly.
Let me also state here that Enyimba & Rivers Utd are part of the clubs that pay regularly.

All clubs in the NPFL don't owe their players, the welfare of players in terms of salaries has improved in the last 5 years. Just like you have it in Europe, a lot of clubs in Europe owe their player's salaries.
So paying of salaries might not be perfect in the NPFL

Someone just called me and said "Edafe, watin Shehu Dikko and Amaju Pinnic do you self, watin you get against them, wey you no go allow them drink water keep cup for twitter? I need to explain myself on the same twitter so others with same thinking would understand me well...
I have ABSOLUTEELY NOTHING PERSONAL against @PinnickAmaju or @ShehuDikko but this is the crux of the matter for me, they both occupy a vital public office that is in the sphere of my business and I am passionately and emotionally invested in that industry. The football industry
When I call them out I call them accountable for the incompetence in carrying out their public responsibility to the industry as elected and appointed head of the football industry. Before Shehu Dikko came onboard as chairman of the @LMCNPFL the league was on the runway, ready...
