how can amaechi justify building this monstrosity for $ 126 million when up top are a few world class stadium that was built bigger and cheaper than this fraud.

Their's no part of the press that confirms the authencity of the cost OP posted about Adokiye amiesimaka stadium, but if it's true, that's too extreme.
Also, do you know Akwa Ibom stadium doesn't worth $96 million. Ask me why and I will give you proofs, but make sure you have enough proof it worth that sum.

Can anyone in their right mind say that this stadium is worth $126,349,252.96?

Yet amaechi says he is a progressive and wants to fight corruption! N24billion = $ 126 million for this local stadium while across the river in Uyo there is a world class stadium that cost just $96 million. $30 million cheaper than amaechis local stadium.

Some part of the press claims AKS cost $96million = ₦16 billion and other claim over $250 million = ₦39 billion.
Which one should we believe..... We still lack transparency in this country, PDP or APC.

nonsense The international community do not play with figures like we do here i am quoting credible sources for my analysis. In a Saner climate Amaechi would be in jail for this fraud.

Oga disprove the figures of huge cork 1st,his own data seem more authoritative than yours,

Is this the Kind of change we Need in Nigeria? NO to APC

Atouke:

Major part of the press claims AKS cost $250 million dollars, even supersport.

Interesting revelation.
The hunter is now hunted

so we should rely more on the figured from them than the authorities in Nigeria, federal ministry of information?
Well if you say so don't dispute any other news about Nigeria from the international community.

This is unbelievable in this day and age, a governor will steal $126 million and build a local stadium that is very dark inside even in broad daylight with ordinary roofing sheets from ariaria market and over 1000 metal beams blocking your view. and call it a stadium in 2015. even in 1910 that stadium in port harcourt will have been judged a bad design.

Yet Amaechi builds it in 2015 for rivers people just to steal their money.

What a fool you are instead of you to be alarmed by this fraud you are busy trying to defend your paymaster. Nigeria will never fall in the hand of anyone like you. Defenders of fraud.

Not when compared with other standard stadiums across the world. take a look at the list of nominated stadiums for 2014 worlds best stadium and do the cost and quality comparison for your self.I have posted the link.
