What about the national stadium in surulere,that monument deserves some love too

The FG has abandoned it
The locals have turned it into bars and sex joints.
Open defecation is also ongoing.
It's also used as a carpark and other nefarious activities.
LASG wanted to take over the place alongside National Theatre to renovate and use but FG
refused citing some mumbo jumbo ,so the relic will decay till it disappears into dust .

pimplucious:
The SE will only look on and salivate while at it but will never get hold of Lagos as they planned.

What of osun, oyo, ondo, ekiti, ogun

Jakande had less resources. He practically built the whole of Lagos. That was when we had men of integrity at the helm of affairs.

These ones will just do one small thing and be snapping pictures all over the place in spite of the humongous monies coming in from FAAC allocations and IGRs..

Nigeria is not ready for good governance and accountability.




A day of reckoning is approaching..

DamnnNiggarr:


When will Nigeria get it right?

Good question lol.

You had 1 candidate with good acountability and zero corruption record but you chose to vote in the candidate with dodgy record.

When the mindset of the people change, then Nigeria will begin to get it right.

aspabay:


You are miserable, very miserable just like your people and your entire region.

I do not think it is right to condemn the entire region for a senseless post of an brainless person.
He may even be in Lagos trying so hard to learn speaking Yoruba to be able to cope.

JohnnA1:
Beautiful.

God bless YORUBALAND.

Bro there is wear and tear everywhere!

I am not responding to posts on this thread because I believe that most of those people are simply trolling. They are not being serious and they are simply pretending for whatever reason.

However, for those that truly do not know, I am going to reproduce an old post from memory.

Types of stadiums in Nigeria.

Anybody that has lived in Nigeria automatically knows the various types of stadiums in Nigeria (that's why I said that those people are not being serious). In this post I will limit myself to the relevant types.

A) Sports cities: There are many stadiums in Nigeria that are what I call sports cities. They have a main bowl that consists of a football pitch and an athletics track and they also have other sports facilities, most notably a sports hall that is used for basketball and other indoor sports and an aquatic centre.

Some people complain about these sports cities because they do not understand why there's a track around the football pitch. They watch the English Premier League and other European football competitions and they don't see athletics tracks around the pitches and so they wonder why there are tracks around the pitches at these sports cities.

This issue isn't new to me, but I assumed that everybody understood it, however, I discovered on Nairaland in the early 2010s that not everybody understands the issue.

The answer is very simple. These sports cities were built by government. Governments want to develop multiple sports in order to improve the chances of their citizens winning medals at multi-sports events. They need to have the facilities in which to train these athletes. Some governments also hope to host events like the Nations Sports Festival, the National School Sports Festival, Youth Games, All Africa Games, Commonwealth Games, the Olympics, etc. It is more cost effective and efficient to build a sports city than to build separate football stadiums and athletics stadiums. This is the reason that governments build the sports cities. Track and Field Athletics was once Nigeria's second sport, it is the one sport that every school takes part in and there must be facilities to host such competitions.

The football stadiums that you see being used in the English Premiership and similar competitions are owned by wealthy football clubs. They have no responsibility to develop track and field athletics and they want to ensure that their fans can get very close to the action by having the seats/stands very close to the pitch.

Examples of sports cities include the National Stadium Lagos, the National Stadium Abuja, Liberty Stadium Ibadan, Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium Enugu and the Ahmadu Bello Stadium Kaduna.

B) Single use stadiums: There are also single use stadiums in Nigeria. When I say "single use" I mean that the stadium comprises just a football pitch, although that same pitch can be used for association football, rugby and American football.

Most of the single use stadiums are the older stadiums like the Onikan Stadium in Lagos, Sharks Stadium in Port Harcourt and the Kano Pillars Stadium. Most of these stadia are associated with a particular football club and it is not the club's responsibility to develop other sports like track and field athletics or swimming. Besides, most of these older stadia are smaller than the sports cities and there's no space to put an athletics track.

C) Mini stadiums: Mini stadiums are very small stadiums that are designed to be used by a community. Most of these stadiums are not used by any professional sports team, rather they are used by the youths in the area.

Mini stadiums are built to provide an outlet for youths in the area, so that they can hone their skills, to provide them with something to do and keep them away from crimes and other vices.

Mini stadiums also serve as a community centre. They are a place where schools can hold their inter-house sports competitions, nearby companies can have bonding sessions, etc.

A great example of a mini stadium is the Campos Square Mini Stadium. It was basically just a playground once upon a time. There were no stands and there was no grass (it was just sand). People played football there, it was used as a prayerground during Eid and some people had parties there. In 1987 a part of the square was partitioned off and converted into a school.

However, Governor Babatunde Fashola converted it into a mini stadium with stands, an electronic scoreboard and an outdoor basketball court.

Nowadays there are activities at the stadium every day. It is used by the Lagos State Government to train primary and secondary school students, teams of youths rent the stadium for their football matches and it was the site of the Channels Television primary school football competition.

D) Playgrounds: What I call playgrounds are community sports facilities that have no stands, in some cases they have no grass, but they are used by youths in the area to play football in the evenings and at weekends. They are also used for social occasions like parties and for political gatherings. A good example of a playground is the old Campos Square.

What is the benefit of stadium/stadia to the poor man ...

Sports cities.

Most of these stadia have a football field and training pitches, an athletics track and a warm up track, an indoor sports hall for basketball and other indoor sports, a swimming pool and diving pool and some have hockey pitches, a velodrome, etc.

These are the National Stadium Abuja, the National Stadium Lagos and the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium Enugu.

The government had previously announced that ten mini stadia across the state will be renovated, while the Teslim Balogun Stadium is being upgraded (all covered stands) and there are plans to build new stadia.

"Each state should have a standard stadium" but "of what economic importance is a stadium".

Hahahahahahahaha

You see why I don't take you people seriously? You only exist for jokes.
