Awesome, apart from STV which DSTV channel is also showing the opening ceremony ?

Wetin concern Ivory coast 4 this tin ??

Gistwitherico:
Beautiful stadium, nice development. Am just not thrilled that it is 30,000 capacity. A standard arena for fifa is 45,000. The smallest premier league stadium is 33,000 and its the Liberty stadium- Swansea's. Ibom aesthetics is world class. Its facilities is awesome (for a state governed project), but what is worth doing is worth doing well. I'd prefer this project to be completed in 2020 with no rush and posses the absolute thorough qualities that'll shake the world- just like Abuja did.
All the same, we can learn from this and move-on. Kudos to the facility managers for ensuring that a mandatory 7yrs maintenance was agreed and enacted with its constructors- Julius Berger. That's a welcome development.

Well said. Well balanced post...couldn't have said it better

The stadium is quite awesome and terrific but poor maintenance culture is our problem.

This is awesome.

Victor Ikpeba has just finished been interviewed by Charles Anazodo.

Wow.. I ws try to be ther lif cz is my home town bt I didn't mak it

5 years from today, what's going to be the state of this 30-seater edifice?

Nigerians' maintenance culture is something I dare not trust.

The once eulogized National Stadium in Abuja was left in a state of despair, it lost its honour, I'm pretty sure it also served as a grazing ground for cattle rearers during those torrid times.

The Govt of Akwa-Ibom should learn from that.

supporter of APC=Jan.ja.weed
True confirmed

Yes! Am so impressed with this good work.. Commenting live from Akwa-ibom state. Proudly Nigerian!

I am not from Akwa ibom state,but i must commend the works of the present government.i know a lot of people who don't support his party will wish to see the fall of this stadium so that they can have something to talk about....i say anyone who doesn't wish to see a progress regardless of his party will never see good too.I know why i am saying this,Nigeria's have developed this hatred to any performing governor,just because he is not from the political party they support.
If you like go and compare the stadium with the likes of them in Europe and America.....you are wasting your time,we will gradually get there.
Save yourself and appreciate good thing and pray they continue with the planned maintenance.....to all my akwa ibom friends i greet ooo.

Nigeria must be better,meanwhile i pray my silly governor can atleast build a stadium entrance (gate)

damn! I can"t wait till 8pm at night!!


The light, damn!

But am very disappointed with d AKSG, the so called world class stadium doesn't even use the LED Perimeter Advertising system board.Apart from that everything else is standard. Kudos to them sha.

Beautiful,but not world class! I've seen and been to better grounds.

Tha Boss!

I just hope this stadium will not end up a crusade ground or a concert venue.

Akwa Ibom state governor should please hire the BEST of the BEST Facilities Management company in the world!!!

This edifice can create meaningful jobs for over 5000 Akwa Ibom youths
