Expanding Women's football in Nigeria

@Hmlarson:, the following might be useful, I was not sure where to put it in the page.

• Women football clubs in Nigeria in the 1980s and 1990s
• contains salaries of some women players in Nigeria
• contains top earning players in NWPL
• Edo State becomes first state to pay men and women football teams equally BBC reference for equal pay
• Oparanozie demands for equal pay BBC ref for Oparanozie viral comments
• rebranding NWFL logo challenge new logo winners HandsomeBoy (talk) 15:36, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

• HandsomeBoy -- we could add a section called Leagues to start and fill in with some of the articles you've provided as references, where applicable or if it requires a new section on equal pay, let's just add it?

Can you review this bulleted list of leagues and years in existence and confirm or modify if I'm missing things?

• NIFFOA (Nigeria Female Football Organising Association) 1978
• NIFFPA (Nigeria Female Football Proprietors Associations) -- renamed 1979
• Nigerian Women's Championship (1990-____)
• Nigeria Women Premier League (______ - 2019)
• Nigeria Women Football League (2020 rebrand with three tier system: NWFL Premiership (formerly Nigeria Women Premier League); the second-tier league known as NWFL Championship (formerly NWFL Pro-League) while the third tier division becomes the NWFL Nationwide (formerly NWFL Amateur League))

@HMlarson: You are correct except for your last entry. Nigeria Women Football League is not a league, but a body that organizes several women's leagues. In 2020, it was "Nigeria Women Premier League" that changed to "NWFL Premiership", aside this, every other information is correct.HandsomeBoy (talk) 04:17, 12 December 2020 (UTC)

@HandsomeBoy: I didn't get your ping. Thank you for this clarification. I should get back to this later in the month after things settle with work/home. I'll add this to the initiative page. Hmlarson (talk) 19:35, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
