xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx our local League at the moment might not even be ranking among the top five in Africa, this might be as a result of poor sponsorships and renumeration for players which at the end the players might likely not give in their all, so you don't expect a local league that is not performing to an average level to give you the best result in terms of players.
I do not think it is even near tenth position, but back then our local clubs did lift african clubside league title but now i don't think that is the case anymore. One of the major problems I would say attributes to our local league not being that popular is the fact that they lack publicity, I have not for one day see our own government station show or televise our local league for once not at all so how do you want investors to come in how do you want foreign coach to have a good look at the local players and sign them up for bigger teams overseas? When there is visibility in sports, their is definitely growth and development and that has been the case but in Nigeria even the football body does not care about the football clubs not to talk of listening to their plight to further develop or join in developing the local leagues and clubs.
