Na for Naija dem go dey form corruption.
Now do the corruption among ur global peers when it matters most, he will be there. Looking like a sagged breast while his mates maneuvers him in his very own front. MUGU.
Make buhari open the him world cup fund case sef. Make him sleep for efcc and dss cell small. Foolish botbellied idiot .

Icon4s:


Egypt hosting now puts them amongst the favorites.

Mickael2:


Exactly. This is the only problem I would have with it because most of these politicians will budget enough money to tear down the stadiums and start from the scratch but they will only use 10% of the budget on the stadiums and the rest straight to their pocket. The corruption involved and the looting are the only reasons why I wouldn't want it here

Joebie:
How is that an upgrade? Does the rail link mean that passengers can be transported from one point of the airport to another? Upgrade? Are u kidding me? Have u been to the Abuja airport lately? Is that what you are celebrating?

Taliban:


I forgive for all you have written.

forgiveness:


It's because rail link transports passengers away from the airport to the city. Unlike the mover that will just transport you from one spot to another within the airport. Don't you get it?

Apparently, the advantages for the rider include faster travel time and easy interconnection with other public transport. Additionally, the links benefit airports by drawing in more passengers via easy access.

Now tell me if this is not an upgrade. Yes, it's worth celebrating because no African country can boast of it save South Africa and Morocco.

favorites won't always equal winners. Ghana won their U20 world cup in that same Egypt so no excuses. How are you sure they make it out of the first round

Joebie:
Sometimes I wonder what our leaders say when they hangout. I guess they say stuffs like Nigeria is doing fine. Stuffs that some of us here like to say. That’s our number one problem, denial of the reality. If the pride of our nation is truly at stake for them, they would sit up to their responsibilities.

wayodude:


When you say Abuja airport is far better than all airports in subsahran Africa I hope you are not including North Africa in your definition of sub Saharan Africa. But if you're a not then what's the point of the statement?

I was in Cairo in 2016. Getting from the airport to the Zamalek area is a long drive and there is no rail link. This is true.

To cut it all short, in terms of all infrastructure required to host a 24 team AFCON Egypt are in a much better position to make a success of it with 6 months planning than Naija.

Joebie:
It’s not an upgrade. Two different things even from your own description.

Modified
Let me add, the meaning of the word, upgrade

Even if you have one, there is still a need for the other, of course depending on the size of the airport. The Cairo airport is huge. The 2nd largest in Africa I believe.

jieta:
Oga forgiveness, you are one of the most patriotic Nigeria I've ever come across.

Joebie:
The Nigerians when u go put na.

MMA2 is managed by a private company owned by Babalakin

After renovation of MMA 1, we still had leaking roofs. Similar things happened in PH and Enugu.

The problem is not even with renovation. It is the lack of maintenance culture.

forgiveness:


Oga, don't come and start twisting grammar as If I no go school. Upgrade simply means better in that context.

Abuja airport rail link is better than Cairo 1km airport shuttle. Gbam.

Cairo Egypt will choose rail link ahead that mover if they have the the money.

BascoVanVeli:


We can beat Egypt even if we play on top of a pyramid. In fact I here and now declare that Nigeria will win the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.

Icon4s:


Only one team can win a tournament. Egypt are one of the favorites to lift that cup.

You are saying Nigeria will beat Egypt even on the pyramid how are you so sure we too will qualify from the group.

If you really follow African Football you will know Egypt are heavy weights when it comes to the AFCON. They will be more rated than Nigeria to win the 2019 AFCON.

Bringing in Ghana winning U20 in Egypt is baseless because Egypt are no where in World youths Football. While Ghana are among the best in the world at age grade level.

BascoVanVeli:


I don't care about all that grammar. Nigeria will win the AFCON come and beat me.

DrLikita12:


The games a being played at different times. Right now it's Kogi Utd vs Real Stars

Danycrusoe:


thanks

PDPGuy:
Egypt would host a fantastic AFCON no doubt.
But I’m worried about the undue fanaticism of their fans.
Would any African referee dare award an 89th minute penalty against the Pharaohs in Alexandria, even if it’s a clear penalty?

DrLikita12:


Side note: I don't want to get involved in this argument but the Abuja airport is no longer under construction. It was recently opened to the public (2/3 days ago).
It's not the most beautiful but it looks alright. It's also functional which is what matters most I think. There's a video on FAAN's twitter page. You can draw your own conclusions.

Joebie:
It looks alright yes. Parts of tnew construction was already completed weeks ago. It’s not like magic happened a few days ago. But like you said, it is alright and functional,is it better than the Cairo international airport? I don’t think so
