I live in Abuja for ur info. And I’ve used the Abuja airport more than 5 times within the last few months. I’ve seen the construction currently going on. How is Abuja airport better?
We are talking facilities here. Is there an airport in Nigeria that can boast of an airport mover people system to start with? Let’s talk about what is working not what is under construction.
5 years from now we will still be taking about these same stadiums undergoing renovation etc.
Does Nigeria have an airport rail link system? If so is it Currently in operation? All your talk na under construction.
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.
Oh okay. Was he comparing what he saw to what is in Nigeria?
What if I told u I know someone that lives there.
So tell me how is Nigeria’s facilities better? Tell me what he said .
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.
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.
Okay your colleague visited the stadiums and checked out their facilities?
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.
I was there just a couple weeks ago. Even if it’s at its newest state, it’s far below world standard — or the best in Africa.
elyte89: Chief I onced worked in airport for almost a year(2015) to be precise, as at den,MMA2,was just renovated,new,d MM1,arik wing is OK,den close to MM1 where AIR PEACE Is too was newly built and was commissioned den by Jonathan's wife,I was dere,
You know the discussion I am referencing. Then, we talked about the best AFCON experience. And ofourse the airport which greets the players and officials is the first first-hand impression of the host country. Or maybe u think otherwise — typical of Nigerians

What is the condition of the Teslim Balogun Stadium?
Oga u and I know that none of our stadiums are in perfect condition. No need for long talk.
At the moment Egypt would do a far better job hosting. We’ve been here before when we talked about airports etc. Anyone who tells me MMA2 is great is delusional or have not seen better airports. The Abuja airport is currently in construction, but I’m not expecting anything great.
Anyways we all have our different way of seeing things. What is perfect for you could be average at best for me.
forgiveness: You are the one speaking balderdash and looking for loopholes to begin those your usual tribalism nonsense.
Stadiums in states that can afford great stadiums are in good conditions. Uyo, Delta, Rivers(only grass needs to be worked on) and even Edo. There was no need to emphasize on this.
Lagos case is different and it will take a state like Lagos willing to spend money to embark on such projects.
Do you think only stadium is involved? What about accommodation, transportation, security, logistics etc
Your comment on Lagos not the mention. That was uncalled for. It’s not like other states have not build great stadiums. It was unnecessary and wasn’t the point of this discussion.
Let me ignore the balderdash
forgiveness: What kind of unnecessary question is this? Did you see only Lagos on my list? Why didn't you ask me if I am an indigene, huh?
You don't need to worry about the existence of Lagos indigene. Go and work there and see if you will promoted to permanent secretary or any sensitive positions if you are not an indigene.
How many stadiums did Iist there? 10. Why did I mention only 7? Use your brain for once.
Oga I don’t know what’s bringing this Lagos talk into this matter. May I ask are u even an indigene of Lagos? Everyone is seizing every little opportunity to claim Lagos these days
Back to the issue, Wasn’t it the Adokiye stadium that hosted our Congo friendly? I wouldn’t be surprised if your “perfect” and “good” isn’t what it really is after all.
forgiveness: Because Lagos is more eager to host major competitions.
What do u mean by Lagos is rich to put in a perfect condition? We all know Nigeria can get several stadiums to perfect condition. But the question is what is the state of the stadiums right now considering our maintenance culture? And how much needs to be done to get tit standard completion ready? You say good condition. How good is this your good condition?
forgiveness: 1. Uyo stadium(in good condition) 30,000 capacity 2. Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, Edo state (renovation ends this month) 20,000 capacity 3. Delta Stadium (new stadium) 22,000 4. Abuja Stadium (grass can be fixed) 60,000 capacity 5. Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium, Rivers state(new stadium) 38,000 6. Enyimba Stadium Abia state (newly renovated) 25,500 7.

Teslim Balogun stadium (Lagos is rich to put in in perfect condition). 24,325
