Nigerians have reacted to the proposed introduction of Video Assistant technology (VAR) in the local league. Many believe it is not the next thing for the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).

The reaction is coming after the NFF president, Ibrahim Gasau, disclosed that the elite league in the country will see the introduction of the VAR to improve the quality of officiating in the league.
