StarTimes
StarTimes is a Nigerian cable television brand with a range of entertainment and sports channels to choose from. One of the standouts of StarTimes is that it airs matches from the NPFL and the NNL, as well as matches from the German Bundesliga and a few other lower leagues like the Belgian League, where a number of Nigeria Super Eagles prospects like Gift Orban play. The other cable television channels in Nigeria only focus on the big leagues and this is why StarTimes could be more attractive to a pure football lover in Nigeria.
