Nigerian Premier League - Not at all corrupt or anything, honest...

[lenny7]

...from 101GreatGoals:

Corruption spreads to all levels of Nigerian football and this league table comes from the top tier of Nigeria.

Kano Pillars FC were crowned Champions earlier this week but only one team managed more than 2 away wins all season, and they were relegated.

No team scored more than 12 goals in their 19 away games. Fixed.

According to Nigerian reports this is due to corruption, intimidation and dirty tricks to mess with the away team.

Just look at the picture of the final league table with each sides home and away form.

This comment from our Facebook page was just too priceless not to put up:

Victor Ochofiye Adakole: You can say whatever you like, but there’s nothing here. Simply put, it is very difficult to win away games. Most clubs win their home games or draw hence the closeness in points. Nobody is complaining and it is fun to follow. If you think you know better, keep your thoughts to yourself and think of the corruption in your hearts first. Repping Naija till I quench!

Really Victor… Really?



You may remember the 146 goals scored in two playoff games last season from the Nigerian lower leagues >>>

Well Nigeria tops the corruption rankings in every other field, so why not football?

It's not called the Nigerian WUBAD league is it?

Victor accepts all major credit cards.

17 points between top and bottom.


In the Premier League theres quite often 17 points between 1st and 4th!

Perhaps they weren't giving their bank details to 'accept' £45,567,321 from the Former President's daughter after a coup?

Reminds me of a Romanian league table I saw once. Except for the clear winners, that's pretty tight.

Romania 1983-84, Divizia C, Seria a VIII-a.
