[31/07, 10:22 p.m.] Adam Estate: Cox to my own understanding I only know of NPFL ND NLL
[31/07, 10:23 p.m.] Adam Estate: Did we have some different from this
[31/07, 10:25 p.m.] Football Agent: That question is for NFF to answer cos everything I know about football in Nigeria to where am coming from is just opposite, players welfare are poor, selection process is dumbfounded etc but one thing that's so sure is that we have the talents
