Nigerian League is ranked as the best league in africa and 24th in the world

The Nigerian Premier League has been ranked as the strongest
African league for 2012 and 24th in the world.
The classification was done by the International Federation of
Football History and Statistics who assessed the performances of
the clubs from January 1 to July 10 2012.
The IFHHS added points won in all continental competitions by the
five best placed clubs of the Nigerian Premier League.
Last month, two Nigerian clubs Enyimba FC and Sunshine Stars
were named in the 2012 top ten club rankings for Africa.
The performances of the clubs were assessed from January 1 to
July 10 2012.
Tunisia's top flight, which has reigning African champions
Esperance, is in second place in Africa and ranked 31st in the
world.
The Ghana Premier League is in third place but tied on points with
Morocco.
With no competition taking place in Egypt since January 2012, the
country's Premier League is ranked 9th on the continent despite
having two clubs in the CAF Champions League.
Top ten African Leagues:
24. (1) Nigeria
31. (2) Tunisia
38. (3) Ghana
38 (4) Morocco
40. (5) Mali
41. (6) Algeria
44. (7) Sudan

Which yardstick and criteria were used for the rating?

Club performance

Ok but I tink it will b diff wen they use ticket sales and match attendance

For sure bro

yea i think so

This rating is a joke. Based on Nigerian clubside's performance in Africa I cant rate it as the best. Imagine, Esperance d 2012 CAF Champions League winner thrashing d only Nigerian team Sunshine Star 2-0 at home soil.
For me the Tunisian League is d best in Africa. I rest my case.

U may nvr say

exactly

Mayb they just want to pul our legs

Attendance is poor

Wast dan dat guy

maybe the ranking was specifically based on the league with the most bad officiating, stadiums with poor facilities and maintenance, poor attendance and so on....or maybe the list may have been turned upside down that 9ja came first if not then how comes
