...Please don\'t ever let this happen to a proper league all clubs should have their own individual designs and be free to choose whoever they want to make it. I don\'t imagine there is a massive call for replicas in the Nigerian league at present so I don\'t really understand why NIKE would do this. I expect its a cunning ruse to get more oil out of the country and into the US economy;-) Conspiracy theory anyone ??

Im not completely against a brand sponsoring a whole league, like with MLS. But in this case I know the Nigerian teams will get the most plain and boring teamwear shirts, so its not like anybody outside Nigeria would ever notice....
