ehnnnnnnnnnnn, dats bad news oooooo, when will nigeria change?

is this a new thing? it happens frequently  worldwide. You are all realy bush people. Every thing that happens in Nigeria makes a headline from so called Nigerians - when will Nigerians change?

It is only in Nigeria that Nigerians talk so ill about their country. They need their heads examined. Is this realy a new thing worldwide?

Maybe all the floodlights were brought from china

@tosh_acer,
  I dont think with people like u living in nigeria,she will change

How long will it take for The Government to light our bulbs, At night in Nigeria you will see places with light and you would actually  think it is N£PA. But they are generators.
If these continue Nigeria will never be allowed to host and tournament again. Except they brib£ their way out

KANO , , 1
, ,, ,WHERE NEXT?
AND STILL COUNTING.

Pharoh:

[b]It was actually one or two flood lights that was going on and off , they have to stop the match about three times for them to fix it and not that the light went off in the whole stadium.[/b]

Floodlight Failure Disrupts U-17 World Cup Match Between Spain And USA

The FIFA Under-17 World Cup Group E match between Spain and the USA at the Sani Abacha Stadium in Kano on Monday night was disrupted twice due to floodlight failure.

Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai was forced to first halt proceedings for about five minutes around the 52nd minute of the encounter when one of the floodlights went off. He was forced to do so again in the 65th minute when the lights at the other end of the pitch failed.

Besides these stoppages, this game, watched by an impressive crowd of 19,500 fans, produced several highlights.

Spanish defender Sergei Gomez was sent off in the second minute and just moments later the USA took the lead through leading scorer Jack McInerney.

The USA's lead did not last long though as Spain hit back in the 22nd minute through Borja and on the half hour mark, Pablo Sarabia notched the match winner for the Spaniards.

Courtesy of their 2-0 win over Malawi earlier Monday, United Arab Emirates top Group E, while Spain are second in the standings.

In Group F, Algeria lost 1-0 to Italy to complete a miserable opening round of matches for African teams at the FIFA Under-17 World Cup. Save for hosts Nigeria, who salvaged a point against Germany, Africa's four other representatives have thus far lost their opening matches at this championship.

Italy's winner was netted by Fredico Carraro in the 78th minute and Algeria, who are making their debut in this competition, must blame poor finishing for this loss as they created several chances but could not put away any of them.

South Korea lead this group based in Kaduna after their 3-1 victory over Uruguay, also on Monday.

The worst is yet to happen, I hope those millitant can take over the stadium itself

but why?

oya dora come rebrand yourself out of this one

some quick pointers

it was actually a security measure - PHCN was working in conjunction with the SSS to to foil some kidnappers in the stadium

it was part of a grand scheme to showcase the most vibrant parts of nigerian culture - they wanted to treat the players to united ibo, yoruba , hausa etc shouting up nepa!

the introduction of a new type of football nightball

So lights went out ? Well after the first two opening matches I decided not to waste my Time watching people play on a very very very bad pitch. And this light issue is nothing cuz fifa knew our situation as before approving us as host nation, this is a nation that can't even allocate its resources equitably
