Goal.com: Nigerian Contributors Too Academic by RockhouseCafe: 3:20pm On Oct 20, 2021
As a form of relaxation, l, like many others read a lot of articles on goal.com and more so after a beautiful football match like Liverpool vs Atletico yesterday. In fact, a brilliant game for me doesn't end after 90 minutes until l have digested an article or two to match.

A good example is this well written piece: 'Liverpool silence Someone as Atletico edged out in crash champions league thriller'.-- Niel Jones (still on front page). https://www.goal.com/en/news/liverpool-silence-simeone-atletico-crazy-champions-league/4msrj3bxthyk175qmcwtbhuvy.

Another one that comes to mind is a follow-up article to the 4-0 Liverpool come back against Barca.

They usually make a good read and l would often pause several times to chuckle and even re-read some lines in admiration.

However, l have noticed that the many Nigerian contributors, as intelligent and as witty as they come, have one annoying thing in common-- they write like its a PhD thesis. Such that when ever I'm reading an article and come across a difficult word l need to look up, l simply scroll back up to check the writer's name. Its always Shina Oludare, Solace Chukwu...etc

At times, the sentence structure is too complex that l will re-read severally to understand what point they are trying to make. For God's sake, its sports: its entertainment, not academic work. On the flip side read those by Mark Doyle, Neil Jones, Peter Stanton...etc and see the simplicity. They've got a relaxing fill-good nature.

Am I the only one to have noticed this?

Moderators, kindly move this to front page.

A certain Sosa posted this in the comment session: 'I did not watch the match but I have to commend the brilliant article from Neil Jones.
Mini blogging is on the rise but nothing still beat an entertaining elaborate article'--Sosa
