Actually very few football academies in Nigeria that have the connections to agents, to clubs and scouts.
A lot of the academy owners don't even care about the football business, players development and all, they care about the money. If they see that a deal will bring them $5,000, they will sell that player and convince him to go.
Because tell me why you are sending a player to Suriname?
I’ve just watched this clip where a comedian joked about how Nigerians are everywhere.
He even said that if you get to a place and there are no Nigerians there, you should just leave.
Funny as it sounds, he’s not far from the truth.
Nigeria has an estimated population of 244 million people.
To put that into perspective, just 1% of our population is 2.44 million people. That’s more than the entire population of at least 10 African countries.
Now, here’s something even more interesting.
The Nigerian diaspora is estimated at over 17 million people, including people of Nigerian descent born abroad.
That sounds like a huge number, but it’s equivalent to less than 7% of Nigeria’s population.
And if we consider only Nigerian-born people living abroad, the UN estimate is around 2.1 million.
That’s roughly the population of countries like Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea, and more than the entire population of Mauritius, Eswatini, Djibouti and several other African countries.
So, when people say Nigerians are everywhere, there’s a reason it feels that way.
We’re simply a very populous country. Even a small fraction of our population can amount to millions of people spread across the world.
And wherever Nigerians find themselves, they rarely go unnoticed.
🚨My player papa Waziri has always stood out wherever he plays. I've watched him in action on several occasions, and I'm genuinely impressed by his consistency, quality and overall performances. A player who never fails to catch my attention!
Papa Waziri, Victor and Chiemere…three quality names in one frame!

@Kufre_Gokon Thank you 👍 he will only attempt to dribble which will result in something else. I hate him for not knowing the right time to pass the ball
I know they started with a betting platform.
SportyTV is another entity and growing brand.
They have different aims and objective
SportyTV is different from SportyBet
When Arsenal last won at Anfield, the iPhone 5 hadn't even been released yet, and Instagram had only just been bought by Facebook. Barack Obama was still in his first term as U.S President. While 20% of the fan base supporting the club today literally weren't alive the last time they took three points at Anfield
@CFCNigerian We have some good and kind south Africans just like we have the terrible ones. So focus on those who show you genuine love and if you have to watch your fave team let it be legal
