Until we have good maintenance culture, our stadia will always remain terrible.

To be honest with you, that stadia is terrible. I think the only thing that worked was the floor lights. What happened to the stadium in Lagos or even Abuja... Wait forget Abuja stadium. Gosh. This country self

Asking questions like this topic, is what is so wrong with many Nigerians. We like to only remember bad things and easily forget good things.

When the Super Eagles were winning their previous matches in Calabar, why didn't you ask questions like this.

Now that they lost only 1 match out of over 40 matches, you come now to criticize. You didn't even consider the fact that our football house is
not in order and that our coach is out of contract, volunteering to work without pay,and that all this brouhaha can psychologically affect both the coach and the Super eagles.
All you can focus on is criticism. Na wa for you oooo.

For me, failing 1 out of over forty exam questions will still give you 99% which is equivalent to an A score.

If not for the attitude of lagos fans always booing super eagles when they are losing, lagos state stadium opp national stadium surulere is the ideal place for nigeri's home matches

I think it's about the fans. Home crowd. The turn out in Calabar has been consistently great. Far better than what we used to have at the National stadium in Abuja. There may be doubts about the spectatorship that would be found elsewhere. And then, our players have been known to complain about artificial pitches ( why I think they've ditched the Teslim Balogun stadium.)

Am getting pissed off with everything super eagle has to offer. Tactical coherence; NO, nigeria football federation; fraud, players; scams, coaches; tactical silly and a fúcking ímbecile; pitches/stadium pathetic. How clueless can the federation be.....erratic nonsense

Except for teslim balogun stadium in surulere lagos and abuja stadium....I don't see any good standard one in naija there rest are just too poor to be compared internationally

Had it been we won, do you think all the excuses will come up.

We gotta fully utilize what we have instead of appraisal.

honeric01: After yesterday's match, i kept asking myself if in the whole of 36 states of Nigeria (+ FTC), we can only showcase Africa and the world at large our national heritage, the Super Eagles in a stadium like UJ Esuene Calabar.

I checked other African countries that played their qualifiers, only 2 countries had horror pitch like we have in Calabar, Ghana and Sudan, the others looked so great, i thought they moved their game outside the shores of Africa, check out Gabon's stadium, Tunisia, Senegal, Zambia e.t.c, their pitches look great and nice to the eyes.

Why can't we move our games to a more suitable pitch anywhere in Nigeria? fine, UJ stadium was once a beauty to behold (Pitch wise) but as usual, once any Nigerian business/person/state/e.t.c begins to get great patronage, they start dropping standards, UJ Esuene stadium is becoming an insult to Nigeria and i think it's time we move the Super eagles out of that state until they wake up to do the needful.

I took out time to check on other stadiums in Nigeria and i was able to locate few stadiums that should be given chance to host the Super eagles.

Lagos
Abuja
Enugu
Kano
Kaduna
Kastina
Port Harcourt (Looks sick though)
Bauchi
Kogi

Though some of them are artificial pitches, but i don't mind seeing the SE play there than the rubbish pitch i saw yesterday even though Calabar is in a region that enjoys heavy rainfall and nice weather.

And once the one in Akwa Ibom is completed, our super eagles home games should be moved there until the National Stadium in Lagos and Abuja is revamped.

Attached are 4 stadiums (Side by side), compare them, Calabar (REAL), Lagos (ARTIFICIAL), Kano (REAL) and Enugu (ARTIFICIAL).
our yawa burst against congo ni abi?
No worry,God go help us tear south africa apart nd u wont av 2 worry abt stadiums for sometym

UJ Esuene is quite good but certainly not the best we've got. It enjoys frequent schedules for Super Eagles because they had not suffered defeat on that pitch, until yesterday when Leroy's Congo Brazzaville beat Keshi 'the big boss' & his Eagles there in Calabar... Finally, shakara don END o!

Afam4eva: I have said it before that the Calabar stadium does not project our image as a country that well. Our main national team should be playing in a world class stadium. That notwithstanding, i wonder why this issue of stadium always comes up whenever we perform badly in a match. I remember how people condemned the choice of Kano as the venue of our Germany 2006 qualifiers against Angola just because we lost. If we had won convincingly, the choice of Kano would never have come up. People have alkso criticized the choice of the Abuja stadium is the past citing the fact that the fans are too bland and that the city is not fit to host the SE. No matter where it is taken to, people will complain as far we are not doing well. Let's just make sure we play in standard stadiums irrespective of the location.
Did u see the game? That pitch was a mess! Was like watching a nigerian premier league game. Wonder why they're avoiding lagos. We have the fans, security, the best hotels and an excellent stadium and more than enough commercial sponsors. I'm sure its politics or bureaucracy
