On the subject of NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT where do you start. The past, present or future.

Having another one or two will not cause a meltdown.

Egypt may have better infrastructure than ourselves in fact they probably do.

However, that's not the issue, we are talking about AFCON not the world cup or the Euros.

You will not have a massive influx of sports fans from across Africa converging in Nigeria. We are not talking l don't think of up to a million fans. Africans just don't have that kind money to spend a couple of thousand $ to spend 2/3 weeks on a football holiday in general and or interest.

So all this talk about hotels, etc Is premature.

What l want to say is l remember when Mali hosted AFCON in 2002. Whaaaaten Mali get we Nigeria no get times 50.

Nigeria has the capacity, the ability and existing infrastructure to deliver an Amazing AFCON. Only Lagos alone can do a fantastic job self. After all recently Guinea & Co even Rwanda were able to host AFCON.

So yes the politicians and government officials will have a field day lining thier pockets. Manipulating the situation for corrupt gain. Even with all these hurdles Nigeria can deliver an Amazing AFCON.

Less money to me means less corruption.

NIGERIA IS ABLE.

No Shakin

If it's about hotel, Nigeria's hotel are better. That's why they are winning awards ahead of Egypt's hotels.

Nicon hotel Abuja has won the best hotel in business category for the third time this year.

Another hotel in won international award.

Currently, Casablanca international airport in Morocco, Mauritius international airport and Durban international airport are the best in Africa in the over 2m passengers per year category according to ACI rating.

Remember, Casablanca international airport has rail link long and some other facilities that gave it good rating. However, Abuja international airport that was rated the best in safety category by the same ACI has now added rail link, new terminal and hotel to its facilities.

Don't you think that will give it a better rating than other airports?

Having a beautiful and a big for nothing airport without safety and facilities is useless but that's what joebi and some Nigerians are after.

Nigeria is in a better position because all the stadiums just got renovated.

Or can you please tell me why Egypt is in a better position than Nigeria.

forgiveness:
You don't know anything. Give it up.

I hope to see an all round improvement. Improving broadcasting would bring about a lot of positive changes so it is something I'd lIke to see- security/safety, better officiating, maybe even better pitches.
But I can't really do anything.

DrLikita12:
Both teams will return to the NNL.

It's better.

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.

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.

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

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.

Mickael2:
I wouldn't know because you didn't tell me. However what he said word for word...first of all he pointed out that the hotels there aren't any better than the ones we have in major cities in the country, that I can remember vividly. But conclusively he said that Egypt is no better than Nigeria. If that means we are on par or we are better than them depends on how you explain it

forgiveness:
Then, remove the log in your eyes to see better because you are not seeing properly.

Does Cairo international airport have airport rail link? That is even an upgrade version of airpot mover people system. Maybe you don't know.

As we speak, Abuja has an airport rail link and it is currently in operation. Fact

The stadiums were renovated recently. EOD.

Seriously! Who said Nigeria is doing fine?

Nigeria is not doing fine but we should not be totally blind towards development going on.

forgiveness:
This is airport mover people system. It is only used to transport passengers from one location to another within the AIRPORT. It's totally different from airpot rail link system.

Now, tell me which African country has such facility in their airport.


As far as I am concerned, Abuja airport is better than Cairo international airport in terms of facility.

Get your facts right next time before you start degrading our facilities here.

TheGoodJoe:
After we lost to South Africa, Rohr became very Conservative. That was where he started the talk of a big striker and Ighalo came back to the side. In that game against SA, Nacho started up top but Rohr’s tactical weakness not only let Nacho down but the team. After the loss, he chose an easier approach to win games than to build a formidable team.

Mickael2:
No. Our discussion has been wholistic right? I mean we are talking about everything needed to host a proper tournament including transportation, hospitality and other stuffs? That's what I am talking about, not the stadiums. Man went there to enjoy himself and he isn't a diehard football fan so why would he go and be watching Smouha vs All Ahly?

TheGoodJoe:
The South African game we lost at Uyo did something to Rohr and killed his guts. Before then, he was not spectacular in creativity and attack but had some bravery to his game.
It also affected Nacho's play with Rohr.

Ehn,at least,it can be used,it doesn't av to b d best

Mickael2:
Let me ask you if you have been to Egypt recently. Based on the report I got from a colleague not too long ago I don't think they have better facilities, in Africa I would only admit that South Africa and Morocco have better facilities than we do all things considered

forgiveness:
Do one need great airports or a functional airport in good condition to host a mere AFCON?

Sometimes ehh, you wonder how Nigerians think.

Abuja airport is far better than all the airports in Sub Sahara Africa save for South African.

Which airport in Africa has train connected to the airport? Just two. Tambo international airport, South Africa and Casablanca international airport Morocco.

The almighty Egypt don't even have one.

Nigeria has 4 newly renovated and remodelled airports with newly built terminal.

How many does Egypt have?
