Vandrezza FC has taken Ikot Ekpene Stadium as their home.

Akwa United and Ibom Angel's (female) have the Godswill Akpabio stadium as their home.

Dakkada FC and Ibom youth FC will have the newly renovated Uyo township stadium as their home.

Who will occupy the New Eket township stadium?
It's time to call on ExxonMobil to bring back the mobil pegasus Fc to Eket.
Remember the good old days of Mobil pegasus!
They can call it the Oillers!

MOBIL PEGASUS FC used to be the best funded clubside in Nigeria back then. The eket clubside boys used to be Nigerian Shine shine bobos, good pay accomodation etc.
Bring them back please ExxonMobil.

So your concern is what SA think of you and Nigeria?

Nice job by Peculiar Consults.
Engr Olarewaju Adeleke has proven that indigenous construction firms can give foreign household names in Construction a run for their money.

I am proud of the achievements of the Udom administration.
Too bad that his Kerosene sharing, pot-bellied, woman loving, adventist neighbor never sees such things to emulate.

Who is peculiar consults? This stadium according to state Government is built by direct labour.

FYI Eyimba stadium in Aba was done by governor ikpeazu. That was a great job, the stadium is one of the best at the moment.
Learn to commend politicians when they do good, if you dont commend them then dont misrepresent their achievements.

What's your source?

A white elephant project is an expensive project with no value and such is the one I'm seeing here. We have a stadium in Uyo which is not even completed. Why is the governor not completing that one and other projects started by the last administration? Eket does not need a stadium of this magnitude but something like the one in Ikot Ekpene.

At the end of the day, how would this project impact people's lives especially the Eket people? How many indigenes of Eket can work there? To do exactly what and to who? I think the governor should channel his energy toward projects that directly benefits the people, e.g., road construction and intervening in the abysmally poor power supply in the state.

How many young people would even use the stadium when hunger is bitting hard? Again, I don't think there's water in Uyo. What's building another stadium? What's Ibom Air? Looks good; sounds good, but without any value to the common man.

Show me any state including Lagos that has 1700km of roads construction ongoing and some complete. That's what mr udom Emmanuel is doing.
Show me any state that has built transmission and distribution stations in their state.
Udom Emmanuel has built the ekim power station and several power step down stations across the state, and akwa ibom via its ibom power plant is the only state in the country that produces 191mw of electricity without any FG input.
FYI akwa ibom only needs about 50 to 80 mw of power. But for the FG exclusive list that takes Akwa ibom 191MW to national grid, Akwa ibom should be enjoying 24/7 power supply. The state has made enough investments to see it happen.

For whether the stadium is neccessary, is a matter of opinion. When Akpabio built the 30,000 uyo stadium many people shouted white elephants more than you are doing now but today they are the ones singing praises of the stadium.
That uyo stadium is the only fifa compliant stadium in Nigeria till today.
Time will vindicate the governor on the eket stadium. So you are entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't make your opinion a fact.

juvewalex:
Why this stadium when the state already has a wonderful stadium built by Akpabio in the same city.

It's a waste of resources as far as I'm concerned.

Why not? Since when did uyo = eket?
This are two different cities.

Arrival of materials needed for the stadium construction.

The eket stadium and the uyo township stadium will have artificial pitch, the commissioner of sports Akwa ibom state stated the artificial turf will be layed this year's before the rainy season begins.

White elephant project

How is it a white elephants?

Zoom in to see what the stadium will look like on completion.

All the 17,000 plastic seats has arrived the state

Eket stadium construction Jan 2020

More

The construction of the 17,000 all seater all covered Eket stadium in Akwa ibom state which started a while ago by the Government of Mr udom emmanuel has reached roofing levels.
This month all the 17000 plastic seats for the stadium has arrived uyo the state capital where it is stored.
The artificial pitch has and the tartan tracks material has also arrived.

The ministry of sports akwa ibom state recieved 27 container of materials for installation in the new stadium January 2020.

Mr udom Emmanuel is not just building a stadium in Eket, eket is the second biggest city in Akwa ibom state after uyo, the state capital and ikot Ekpene the Northern district capitals.
Eket has a variety of roads that are being dualize, drainages, city park, modern yiwu Chinese market, the biggest Chinese market in Nigeria is currently under construction in Eket and many more, this project are aimed at repositioning the oil capital of Akwa ibom state to a new level that's befitting of other oil cities in the world.

The commissioner of sports in the state also intimated that the old 5000 capacity uyo township stadium is also simultaneously upgraded to a 10,000 seater sports stadium to complement the 30,000 seats Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo.

Akwa ibom state is the only state in the country with 2 teams in the Nigerian premier league.
AKWA UNITED AND DAKKADA FC.

The state also has several teams in the Nigerian National league which is Nigeria division 2:

Those teams include the ibom youth FC, vandrezzer FC, coffine fC etc and a host of female clubsides.

This stadium's will serve as befitting homes for some of this teams.

payperpost:
they are the one in government, the have refused to protect us from their militia group killing us and taking our lands , yet they have the mind to send all their jobless youth to south west for okada business burning LGA office and constituting nuisance in our cities, now that we are trying to do something to stop the killing of our people, buhari government is holding our hand for his people to continue killing us.
whereas in the kano, kastina and nasarawa he allowed hisbah the Islamic police to operate, but declared Amotekun illegal

Every thing has a season. The season where the killer herdsman had a free range is coming to a close , they know it ,we know it.
Buhari will not be in power for ever, all the military arms except one in Nigeria being headed by fulanis will not last for ever.
Change is coming.

FriendNG:
Hisbah is not a regional force. It's independent of each state. There names are different (Kano state Hisbah board, Jigawa State Hisbah etc). Also a Hisbah vigilante from Kano have zero powers in Jigawa state.

There is ondo Amotekun, oyo Amotekun, Ogun Amotekun, Lagos Amotekun, Ekiti Amotekun and osun Amotekun = western security network.

FriendNG:
Each southwest state can establish it own Amotekun through their respective house of assemblies, but not as a regional Amotekun

That's what has happen! Amotekun consists of neighborhood watches in all the 6 states of the south west making the western security network.

Hisbah

And this hisbah police in the North west ?

This is the double standards that exist in Nigeria.
I dare anyone especially those who are saying Amotekun is not legal, or constitutional to show me which part of the "Arewa" constitution of Nigeria that was amended to accommodate the borono vigilante? And North western region hisbah police?

Supporters of Mr Malami and his cabal members over to you, Defend this!

Mr Malami and his cabal members over to you

Amotekun is here to stay, those in opposition are fighting a losing battle.

Osagyefo98:
It is obvious you want to lengthen your thread.

Your view will only kill Amotekun.

Imagine going to court who always base their judgement on what the constitution says.

Sorry for you guys

you neglect the vital part "constitution" and be chasing shadows.

If we follow your logic maybe one day military go tell road safety or nscdc to stop functioning......


But never possible because such outfit has constitutional backing.

Nairaland but no Nigeria


the country has really made many not to know their left and right.

You are hereby ignored. Wallow in your ignorance. Your ignorance will not stop Amotekun.

Osagyefo98:
My brother...

This is the only loophole AGF and FG is using to hold them here and they are just busy shouting up and down instead of doing the right thing.

Now let me tell you those guys are mischievous with this Amotekun, they are trying to be smart by half to know if it will work for them.


This will clearly tell you who actually supports constitutional review, restructuring and the rest.


They smartly avoid the constitution but are trying to muzzle the FG to know if it will sail through... Imagine.

let their senators rally others and head for show for constitutional review in national assembly instead of all these.

It's the northerners and fulani cabal that are shouting.
The yoruba had already lunched their Amotekun.
It's the cabal controlled AGF that needs to approach the court on the issue and stop babbling.

The cabal should show us what constitutional review they went through to operationnalize hisbah police and civilan JTF.

Yeye de smell!

Osagyefo98:
They have halted the whole process. The Amotekun you hearing is yet to commence operation.

And since AGF/FG said it was illegal everything is now on standstill.

Military said they should forget about Amotekun
police minister said it is unconstitutional..

What else do you want to hear.


Let them go to national assembly and start doing the right thing if they want Amotekun to stay.

Lol, since when did the view of the AGF become law?

It just shows you don't have a full understanding of the issue.
The AGF must approach the court for a legal interpretation and backing for his personal view to have legal weight.

budaatum:
I doubt they understand what the Constitution says about states forming police. If they did, they'd do as you suggest and have the Constitution changed insted of attempting to form an illegal state police.

The constitution allows for neighborhood watches. AMOTEKUN is a multi state neighborhood watch.
