Nigeria's connection with football is not ordinary. It is the kind of attachment the country maintains with very few other things. Schoolchildren were raised arguing about squad selections and match results. By the time of independence, football had grown into something no colonial administrator had planned for: the emotional centre of an entire nation.

[FootballInNigeria.com.ng](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/) was founded on a simple premise: Nigerian football deserved coverage that matched the passion of the people who followed it. The Super Eagles, with their AFCON trophies and their long tradition of producing players who travel the world, produced a demand for stories that a brief wire report rarely addressed. It examines the NPFL with equal seriousness it gives to the Premier League, and every piece of coverage is shaped by an understanding of what Nigerian football means to the people who live it.
