💥When Akwa Ibom invested $96m in the Godswill Akpabio Stadium back in 2014, many criticized him; why waste money on a stadium when people are hungry?

Yet today, it stands as the only FIFA-recognized stadium where our National Team can host its home matches.

What if he did not build it?
What if he saved the money in fidelity like Obi?

Real leaders don’t just govern for today; they build for tomorrow. The struggles we face now are the result of past leaders who failed to build infrastructures that should be serving us today.

Does Anambra have the kind of money akwa ibom has? So what are u comparing? Must u leave an empty treasury because of a football stadium for fifa?

Sinedu, your scope can’t work here. Onikan is not better than! You wanted to deviate from the real matter which is that:

The stadium Peter Obi built when he was a governor is way better... Go and velify

u catch am red handed

Una wan use my state wey dey battle unemployment run apc agenda. Please find your fellow south West stages and compare with akwa ibom. Abi oyo and ogun no get 96m usd to build stadium.
The boy boy SP you all wanted from akpabio you have gotten. Does he help akwa ibom achieve any of its objectives? Nope.
Sea port no
Federal presence no

Actually, before Akpabio, when anyone hears cross river/Akwa ibom in that part of the SS, the only city that comes to mind next is calabar.

franugo:
I'm confused, what's Calabar doing here? Calabar is in cross river not akwa ibom

You need urgent medical evaluation

Which one Tinubu build??

Sannisege:
Akpabio built something that the whole Nigeria is enjoying today. Make Obi supporters name one thing Obi did that Anambra is still enjoying today. Akpabio is greater than Peter Obi.

Interesting perspective. But let's talk from an economic point of view....


Please can you tell us what value in monetary terms will the stadium give back to Akwa Ibom when the FIFA matches are played there?

How much will Akwa Ibom State government get from in for selling tickets and hosting rights, selling of food stuffs, etc, etc....Please don't do a forecast of probability.
Thanks.

It's name alone, don lead to it's automatic disqualification, if it's seeking for approval.

Which one come be onikan stadium?

kokoA:
Akpabio try for that one sha, we for hide our face in shame.

I still d not believe in this gigantic projects...

I rather use peter Obi's style..

In Obi's style in Anambra, he said it will b wasteful building one gigantic stadium for the state when alot of youth aspiring athletes live in all local govt of the state.. hence will need huge t/fare every morning as frequently as they need the facility to journey down to the sight in order to access them

Rather u started building mini local government level stadia.. meant to more accessible to the local athletes at hi/her base and help foster sport development faster and more integrated...

The man get Sense die..

In that sense, he built four before he left government

what if he earned it as commision for bringing in $1,000m revenue like alpha beta does in lagos for tinubu?

As far as you don’t align with their Agulu saviour and serial party hopper, you’re automatically branded corrupt and a villain. But the moment you join their camp, you instantly become a saint, a saviour, and the perfect democrat. The hypocrisy is choking.

If you believe Peter Obi saved any money, that mean you can believe that Anambra people are more Nigerians than others.

I pray one day, we will get there. Still afraid that how are we going to get there with the mentality of our youths defending their oppressors.

Hmmmmmmmm🤔

SmartPolician:
Godswill Akpabio was one of the best governors in Nigeria. That man singlehandedly put his state on the map. Before him, everyone only knew Calabar.

Very true

WHEN AKPABIO WAS AKPABIO
THAT WAS AKPABIO OF PDP

WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS THE FAKE AKPABIO.. AKPABIO OF APC.. THE DAY HE JOINED THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION APC,.. HE LOST FOCUS... HE IS ONLY INTERESTED IN NATASHA AND RUBBER STAMPING LOAN REQUESTS.

PulaPower:
He’s one of those Obi bigott supporters..

Ask him to post pictures of the stadium Obi built as a governor, he won’t be able to..

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


Someone from your region told me that he always dream about Peter Obi every week.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The most beautiful stadium in Nigeria 🏟

Only illiterate people will rate obi, someone that his brewery is worth next to nothing after investing billions on it.

Even Anambra are not benefitting from it not to talk about the country.

Nigeria have been benefitting from akpabio legacy, these is how you know leaders with foresight.

Da, you really have time. I've come to realise that a good number of those promoting bigotry on this platform, both ibo and Yoruba are individuals that have not left their immediate geographic location to experience other parts of the country. It's an unfortunate situation we've found ourselves in since the last election. What has Akpabio building a stadium (with a staggering $90M) has to do with Peter Obi? The unam ikot didn't bother to compare what FIFA standard stadium in other countries built on similar budget looks like. Now you have made some salient points but they will attack you instead of taking the facts.

I am from akwa ibom
The average uyo person battles unemployment. Any smarty akwa ibomite will chose a brewery that employs like champion does in aka road over the stadium that does not add any value to the unemployment ravaging uyo. Many business have folded in the state. Rent is sky high and all the average person prays for is the sea port to work. So leave Peter obi. One brewery that puts food on the table of 1000s will always be better than a stadium. That is used for apc decamping and 2 matches in a year with no benefit to the average akwa ibomite

Lagos makes 100 billion every month. Why are you not talking about lagos not having a standard stadium
Lagos budget is trillions. But can't clear ordinary gutter and it stinks like a garbage dump
Lekki people are drinking soakaway water
All toilet in island are yellow
Leave my state and use your south West for your agenda. We have our issues in akwa ibom and the stadium does not solve any.
Face the se that you both Bath in mud with on twitter

Ogun and other south west states had 96m why did they not build stadiums. You want to compare akwa ibom thatw as getting 40B a month as far back as 2011 with anambra [/b]

You know all of this is audio project cos e no dey. But keep enjoying the illusion. Na your people for Anambra dey suffer.

Honestly that's one good thing about Akpabio, he left massive infrastructural development in Akwa Ibom.

That's a funny thing to say. You're essentially making your opinion sound like fact. In the same light, I can as well claim that akwa ibom became popular because of the song 'akwa ibom ayaya'....you can enter motor, or fly for air o, I'm not uyo, you should come with me, I'm missing the love at homeeee

The stupidity in this post is not asking what happened to our federal stadia. The stupidity is not calling on the federal government to take responsibility and care for our national assets, you did not make a single sense.

I read posts from people like you and realize why Nigeria is the way it is.

Name one country that built its economy around sports and vanity projects?

Singapore got independence just around same time as Nigeria, their own government prioritized education, economic improvement through power generation and boosting productivity. Today they may not have a world class stadium but they are a first world economy.

Aside from Uyo municipal, which other place in Akwa Ibom is on par with MDG goals for development.

Why should a stadium (used couple of times a year) be prioritized over the education of millions of children and lifting them out of poverty. In case you don't know, education is the quickest path out of poverty but folks like you will rather praise infrastructures that serve next to zero economic values.

In your opinion,is the stadium profitable right now or it's still maintained by the government?

A good administrator has to create a balance between human capital development and infrastructural development for real economic purposes and adding value t the society.

Nevertheless, is that the kind of sense and mindset he employed with his private businesses?
