I think the unpredictability of the team that's going to lift the league title even when the league hasn't ended is part of what makes the NPFL fascinating to the fans then having one team hacking the league with sequencial dominance to the league title. It would be boring. Most of the teams that are lagging behind right now are due to a lack of strong financial investment to team and the new teams with the resources to recruit quality talents haa come into the league and boosted the competition that these older teams are finding it difficult to maintain their top ranks in the league table.
The Nigerian league use to have Enyimba in those days as one of the capable teams who always contend for the league and continental championships every season but things have changed. Every team presently is capable of pulling up a suprise at anytime because their performance is also based on the amount of sponsorship they received during the season. We all saw Abakaliki FC which kicked off last season and in their first season, they made it to their first final against Kwara United because of the support they got both from fans and the leadership. If they eventually find their way to the top flight, they will definitely be a challenge to many teams. Remo Stars have been very consistent since at least 4 seasons now and still fighting for the top spot again this season.

I just wish any channel can start televising the Nigerian league, it will gain more support and recognition globally. For now, let's keep hoping things get better.
