SAM OKWARAJI STADIUM.

Picture below shows how manual labour by a few persons (that surface once in a while) is being used to construct a sports stadium in Orlu, Imo state. Fragile bamboo trunks, planks and "Ekwe-Otashi" branches are used for decking support.

Rochas Okorocha-led government ruined Orlu's old Sam Okwaraji stadium constructed by a reputable company - VAST INTERNATIONAL between 2005 to 2007. The old stadium was completed except for laying of athletic tracks, it hosted FIFA-rated competitions before Gov. Okorocha came to power. For more info on it

It is about three years a few man-labour started this non-funny job of building a replacement for Sam Okwaraji stadium in Orlu with bare hands and bamboo branches for Okorocha government. It is about three years no organised sporting event has taken place in the area.

If this stadium ever gets to be completed and crowded by people, what are the possible dangers posed by it?

If Gov. Okorocha is serious in replacing the Sam Okwaraji stadium Orlu, which he damaged, can't he name a reputable construction firm to do the replacement?

only in APC's controled state...

You need to show us pictures of the former stadium and tell us how he 'damaged' it.
