#NPFL UPDATE 👇

LMC Chairman Shehu Dikko; “There will be prize money (next season) the way we used to pay before. It’s not the first time we have paid prize monies,” Dikko said in an interview on Kennis FM (via busybuddiesng.com/npfl-lmc-will-…)

THREAD 👇 Image
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.”
Dikko; "The world standard is that the league can give between 25 to 30% of the clubs’ revenues, the club can generate the other revenues. The clubs don’t sit down and wait for the league to feed them."

MY OPINION ON SALISU YUSUF 👇

I don't have an issue with opinions on the Anas case, it will be there on Salisu forever. A few days ago on a Sports WhatsApp platform, I said that; Salisu needs to come out & speak about the incident. Push out his narratives & balance the mess.
The fact remains that, Nigeria's most successful CHAN team was achieved by Salisu in 2018.

Before Keshi, Nigeria failed to make it to the CHAN tournament twice.

Keshi came, qualified, and finished the tournament in SA with Bronze.
Oliseh came and failed to progress beyond the group stage in 2016.

Salisu stepped up, finished second in WAFU, and achieved Silver in Morocco, Nigeria's biggest achievement in CHAN history.
