Beremx: Abuja Stadium is now a grazing field and cattle ranch. When was the last time a football match was played there? There's a Stadium in Ogun state already which was renamed after MKO.
UNILAG is preferable after all.
This is the Abuja Stadium you called a cattle ranch
Abdurazak Isa is one of those few Nigerians who are assisting the nation with their personal wealth to improve its downstream sector.
According to @ovieali on twitter, Isa invested the sum of N7 billion into the building of a modular refinery which will not only help the nation to meet its petrol demands but will provide more jobs and reduce the imports of refined crude oil.
The twitter handle also added that the project is nearing completion as Isa’s modular refinery threatens the position of oil marketers in the country and will replace situation where the nations spends so much importing petrol products.
Guestlander: Lol you people are very funny. When Ekweme was playing second fiddle to Shagari they were not oppressors then. When Azikiwe was playing second fiddle to Tafawa Balewa they were not oppressors then. Now, there's a Yoruba vice president and all of a sudden Yorubas are subservient to Hausa/Fulani!. You guys are hilarious.
They are just in sifia pain
this was a thread of when they were making jest of Yoruba during Jonathan tenure
obiekunie2: BUT SERIOUSLY BA, I LIKE YORUBAS AS A PEOPLE.
I HAVE STUDIED THEM - YES THEY HAVE THEIR SERIOUS SHORTFALLS BUT U HAVE TO GIVE IT TO THEM, THEY ARE INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, THEY ARE SMART, THEY CAN COMFORTABLY COMPETE WITH IGBOS - BUT WHAT I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND IS WHAT TURNED THEM TO A PUSHOVER TO THE NORTH.
THEY SEEM TO BE SOOOO SCARED OF THE HAUSA FULANIS TO THE LEVEL OF DOING ANYTHING EVEN TO THEIR OWN DETRIMENT - ALL JUST TO PLEASE THE WILD FULANIS.
BUT I COME TO REASON WITH THEM, COULD IT BE THAT THE FULANIS SHOWED THE YORUBAS DURING THE AFONJA LED WAR, THE KIND OF TERROR THEY NEVER IMAGINED EXISTS, COULD THIS HAVE REPROGRAMMED THEIR DNA SO THEY NOW HAVE THIS SLAVE MENTALITY OF "GIVE THEM WHATEVER THEY WANT SO THEY DON'T HAND DOWN THIS KIND OF TERROR TO US EVER AGAIN" - HENCE THE REASON WHY THEY CAN COMFORTABLE SACRIFICE ANY OF THEIR OWN SON JUST TO KEEP PEACE WITH THIER FULANI MASTERS.
AM JUST THINKING.
We don't need you to like us
Like yourselves first
And you can Wail to hell
This was the video of the stadium posted on U tube, you are just in sifia pain
AllHailBiafra: If only Yoruba people understand that they not smart at all they'd have known that they have been mocked by the same people that killed there hero, instead they're jumping upanda that God have remembered them.
If Buhari is mocking us by including us in his government, I wonder what Jonathan was doing by not including Yoruba during his tenure
I still remembered this thread of when GEJ marginalized Yoruba and Igbo were making jest of us on Nairaland.
CyynthiaKiss: Buhari doesn't like Yoruba, he's just taking advantage of Yoruba's political stewpidity.. The hatred Buhari has for Awo and Abiola is second to none.. He's just deceiving his gullible followers. When he removed Kemi Adeosun, when didn't he replace her with a fellow south Westerner like Jonathan sacked some Igbo ministers and replace them with fellow Igbos? So ñobody is qualified to head such ministry from entire SW? My people our mumu never do?
Infact if Buhari has his way he will replace Awolowo's face with his own then come back and give us another public holiday to feel important

BuhariAdvocate: Sometime I prefer to ignore a bonehead like you, Because you guys always talking from your anus.This stadium have been abandoned since 2007 but sentiment will not Allow you to say the fact.The director of facilities at the National Sports Commission, Engineer Abubakar Gusau Magaji blamed poor funding for the stadium's deplorable state.
He told Daily Trust in 2012 that Julius Berger got N1.2 billion annual allocation to maintain only Package A of the stadium. But, since the commission took over in 2012, N300m was appropriated for all the six national stadia across Nigeria namely Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu, Kaduna, Bauchi and Abuja.
“If you go back to the maintenance money given before when Julius Berger was there and now, there is so much difference," he said.
"Julius Berger was given N1.2 billion per annum to maintain only package A but after they left, how much money are we collecting? In this year’s budget, N300m was appropriated for all the six national stadia across Nigeria namely Lagos, Ibadan, Enugu, Kaduna, Bauchi and Abuja. If you divide that by six stadia, how much do you get? N50m each per stadia divide that 50 by 12 because we are not going to get the money in bulk. It comes in piecemeal. So you have N50m for Abuja national stadium, for heaven’s sake, even electricity bill will clear the money not to talk of water and other maintenance.
“The swimming pool is in a sorry state. I personally contacted the FCT Water Agency using personal contacts. I tried to explain to them when I took over that the stadium is not a money generating venture and it is government property. Apart from the swimming pool that requires a high volume of water twice a year, there is no need for too much water to be used there.
"How can somebody just sit down in his office and charge a government office a whopping amount of N75m? Where do we get N75m to pay the FCT water agency? It is not even advisable to evacuate the water inside the pool.
"It has been there for like seven to eight months unchanged. We don’t have water to put back. And if we throw away the one that is there, reptiles like lizards and frogs would take over the swimming pool. We spend billions to construct but we cannot budget N1b to maintain," he added.
The swimming coach told that the N500 charged was used to maintain the pool.
"Because the government cannot effectively maintain these facilities, we charge N500 for swimming so we can maintain it," he said.
Those were pictures of the stadium 6 years ago when GEJ neglected it
This was a video of the stadium posted on U tube 7 months ago
toolovely: so naming a stadium that has not hosted any competition in the last 4 years and being turned to a grazing land cows is more valuable than a world known and functional university?
It was turned to a grazing Land during GEJ Tenure.
We already have a poly technique named after him, we don't need to name another institution after him
Anyway this is the Video of the stadium posted on U tube
thinksquad: When people say Nigeria will be great again,I laugh because I believe those ones have not faced the reality on ground . Nigeria can never be one . the politicans look for top positions to make money ." if you dey four years for government, you no make money you be fool "how can dia be more than 300 tribes in Nigeria and only two tribes are ruling Nigeria.I no fit dey think Nigeria matter.
