Nigeria is making progress
Last year we had only Uyo as approved stadium

This is is shameful we had almost 16 before APC and we even hosted FIFA U-17 WC.
The 15 stadium that used to be our national pride has become an eyesore under the APC led government
APC has not add any meaningful infrastructure except for the dead functioning train service and needless costal road. Nigeria should at least bost of 8-10 standard stadium

Nigerians always refuse to accept the reality that Nigeria is a poor underdeveloped country.

They just refuse to accept the reality.

Nigerians need to be truthful to themselves

Nothing you can tell me, Curse dey on top of this country




So it's only two stadium that can host an international matches as big as Nigeria is with her useless 36 States

You should have blame Tinubu as well or you dint remember his name again or what?

Judolisco:
yaradua upgraded some because of the under 17 world cup hosted by Nigeria...... D issue is poor maintainance culture.... MKO stadium in Abuja is an eyesore....

is Yar'dua an APC President? NO

He builts on what OBJ layed down for him, why can't APC presidents from 2015-2025 emulate this standard!

GIANT OF AFRICA WITH NO STANDARD STADIUM SINCE 2015

This is good! Nigeria with none or one approved before but with raw talents still always claim almost all the trophies in the continent of africa. Imagine what happens if we now focus more on upgrading facilities and more youths now focus on sports. Other nations in africa like south africa are spending huge on sports especially football while Nigeria keeps claiming the glory with raw talents

Larger chunk of that prize money given to super falcons could have been used to renovate other stadiums like the one in ibadan. Just imagine, only two stadia met caf specifics

Stupidity no big for our eyes.. 2 stadiums... For the whole of Nigeria with the most expensive city in the world Abuja... NP problem. Thiefs many for Nigeria aha......

in 2025 you are still categorizing Nigerian politician according to their party.... Kai u really made me laugh

Abia is building a new stadium. 35,000 capacity. So its going to be 3 soon. Project to be completed next two years.

Our stadias are only good for church crusades and political campaign gathering nothing more

These are the stuffs that need attention but no they won't do it


How do you expect local players to be able to use stadias they are not familiar with when they go to play competitions?

Yet we want the best from them at all times

The amalgamated area for a reason

Stop deceiving yourself with a country that prides herself as the giant of Africa.
South Africa hosted the world cup and there was no fuse about it.
Hide your head in shame.

Giant of Africa has only 2 CAF standard stadiums? We are not talking of FIFA standard o

Some idiots go blame Tinubu for this o

Shhhhh!

Although we can do better, taking a critical look at the list of approved stadiums by CAF, Nigeria isn't the only country with just two stadiums.

Even countries like Ghana has just one stadium but one wouldn't find Ghanaians running their country down as a result.

Endless wailings and lamentations could affect one's mental health!

Wake up from doldrums!

This one is more on the Club than on the FG. Clubs are supposed to improve their facilities to approve standards through frugal financial management and foresight planning. If a club can't fund the improvement of their facilities by themselves, they can seek external help or partnership from private companies, the state government or federal government because good stadium is a good investment that can generate millions of revenue.

Too bad that we lack financial and economic foresight in this country

AgentNairaland:
Which uslesss jagaban? Tell me one world class competition Nigeria has hosted since 2015 when APC take over power till now

Tinubu has only been in power for 2 years.

Relax, the good days are back and better.

Judolisco:

Did you get my points anyways, I don't think so!

Tjra:
Tinubu has only been in power for 2 years.

Relax, the good days are back and better.

Is he not among the APC government in 2015?

Is OBJ in Power when Nigeria hosted women's world cup in 2012 and African women's championship in 2014?

So,we are truly big for nothing.Even small Cameroon with empty stomach and malnourished Ivory coast are ahead and better than Nigeria.

Tjra:
Calm down. Jagaban is here to restore the fortunes of the country.

The good times are here.

please leave drink

All our stadia has been turned into crusade ground..No maintenance, no competition.. only church programme.. and we have sport minister

Giant of Africa. Them Don try

Jayhome24:
You should have blame Tinubu as well or you dint remember his name again or what?

why should I blame Tinubu for this?

There's no single stadium in Nigeria that should be approved by even WAFU not to talk of CAF nor FIFA, a disgrace of a big for nothing country that cannot boast of one single stadium with electronic side board.

Even Cameroon, Senegal, Rwanda and other African countries boast of such stadiums 🏟 but not a single stadium in Nigeria haba, the embarrassment is too much.

No sports journalists, pundits or analysts on both prints and other media bothers to pressure those in charge to install them.

Na so so plywood and banners full everywhere as if we are still in the 80s

With the loan from the Islamic bank?

What about the airport in the pipeline in Isiala Ngwa? Perhaps, that will be completed next week.

Honestly, Lekan Salamu stadium in Ibadan used to be a bomb.. the state Government should renovate that stadium mehn.. it's an eyesore now but could be renovated .. the location makes real sense . . Earth of IBADAN

Omo Ibadan kini show??

Makinde is a lost cause , I honestly haven't seen anything positive that dude has done asides pay salaries , the 65 billion he wants to use to build new state house can renovate lekan salami and liberty stadiums with change remaining.
