Did Akwa Ibom ppl need a stadium when Akpabio built one for them undecided . If Akpabio had not built such an edifice the Super Eagles will be without a stadium to play international matches. When it comes to infrastructure PO is no where to be found bro . Keep PO out of this sh!t
PO invested in people. He invested in the future of the state.
The various companies he built and attracted employed hundreds of thousands of Anambra citizens till today and have lifted many Anambram from poverty.
The money only interfact beverages generate for Anambra monthly, that Akwa ibom stadium wont generate it in 20yrs.
Now PO have created means for the state to have enough money, it is expected successive govt after him will now start looking into that direction.
Or would u have expected PO to go and borrow money to build stadium or govt house when the people of Anambra can barely feed then?
Many of u dont really understand what govt is and is really pathetic.

I dont even buy the idea that states should be building stadium cos it generates next to nothing and it has to be maintained consistently
Even Wembley is sometimes lease to clubs so that it can be maintained by the club instead of govt pumping money into it

As if these FIFA people will allow the government of the day deal with the issues as deemed fit.

Should the government sacked the Exco of NFF, the same FIFA will ban Nigeria from participating in FIFA Tournaments.

Make una dey whine unaselves

What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs

It appears NFF stole most of the money, thinking it would go undetected, like many other Nigerian projects.

We end up getting less for much more

FIFA has changed its X and Facebook headers to the $1.2 million stadium built by the NFF in Birnin-Kebbi, Kebbi State

The World's football governing body, FIFA via its Forward Program (launched in 2016), reported it has spent, through the Nigerian Football Federation, about $2m in building an artificial pitch in Birnin-Kebbi and another under construction in Ugborodo, Delta State.

Football enthusiasts have called out the NFF former and present Executive for having embezzled the funds.

The blame should rather be directed at FIFA instead of Nigeria as a country.

This is so because the NFF officials couldn't have embarked on this obvious malfeasance without the active connivance and collaboration with the FIFA officials who oversaw the projects.

FIFA, as a body, are not in themselves sincere when it comes to financial transactions.

Many FIFA officials including its past presidents had been indicted in the past over their involvement in one shady deal or another

A thorough and forensic investigation has to be done in order to fish out the culprits and their individual roles in this monumental scam.

It takes two to tango!




@hotseat
Na your way be that , them de talk critical things affecting the shameless country and you de here de call FIFA names

Is not
It is only someone that doesn't understand how govt works.
PO knew Anambra problem and he became governor to solve those problems at that time and he successfully did.
Imagine he left everything he did and start building stadium?
Today, that stadium would have been abandoned just like Buhari Airport in Ebonyi built by Umahi is now abandoned. If not that a church decided to take over, bushes would have swallowed that place. Thats purely an elephant project
Make u research.
What Nigeria even need is just highest 2 stadium probably in Abuja and Lagos and maintained by federal govt. We dont need states to start building stadium. Create an enabling environment for private sector to take over and empowered ur people so that they can live comfortably and be able to afford match tickets
How many Akwa ibom citizen can afford 10k to go watch match in that stadium? instead govt will have to make it free and then using money that is supposed to be used to build other thing to start maintaining the stadium.
Lets think like people with sense and remove emotions in everything.

FIFA is a corrupt organization, extremely corrupt and they know all what is going on, reporting corrupt football association bosses to FIFA is a waste of time,they won't do anything about what you all are saying.

Your Peter obi was governor for 8yrs, how many stadium did he build or renovate.

Everything you people keep calling obi. Did obi even develop Anambra.

Focus on FIFA and NFF and leave obi out of this.

Amaechi, Akpabio all in the south built staduims.

OredoPikin2:
Anambra was then battling poverty, insecurity, lack of education, high rate of employment.
He should have left those to start building stadium like Umahi did by building flyovers and airport that his people doesn't need?
Govt is about understanding the need of the people and solving it. Thats what govt is. Not building elephant projects.
Umahi airport today is now been used for church service😂 it is now a big liability to the state
Imagine he invested that money in agriculture, imagine the numbers of ebonyi people that he would have lifted from poverty.
the you know the level of employment it will generate both before, during and after the project. poverty is everywhere. not building certain things or building wont end it

Stadium doesn't generate employment in Nigeria and doesnt generate revenue.
This is not Anfield or camp nou.
Akwa ibom govt even budget money to maintain that stadium annually. Which is not supposed to be so

they can be the first to make the stadium start generating income, another reason why nigerian cant develop is this mindset of yours

Nigerians are poor. Nobody can afford 10k ticket comfortably. State govt should concentrate in solving poverty issues let fed govt build stadium.
Simple
When Nigerians are comfortable, then private sectors can now come in and start investing in stadiums and clubs.
Nobody starts from up. U start from bottom.
Nigeria can only develop if we recognise and solve our real issues
Nigeria will never develop if we leave the real issue and start building elephant projects

Stop attributing to Obi the angelic image he doesn't possess. We were all here when he was Governor and we saw how badly you emergency praise singers rated him then.
Re: FIFA Updates X & Facebook Headers To Pitch Built By NFF Amid Corruption Claims by Lamasta(m): 4:11pm On Oct 25, 2025
FIFA should have included the names of the Executives of NFF in charge of the project so we know who to hold responsible, bunch of thieves, even FIFA too ought to do followup in such project to ascertain level of work done so far.....

This is a global shame

Lol...Transparency like pandora papers or fidelity bank fraud

Na everyone dey whitewash his thieving politician
If there’s any fidelity fraud like you claim on Obi, why haven’t Tinubu or Apc used Efcc to chase him out of Nigeria and stop him from contesting….

Any where transparency is mentioned, you people get scared and start playing the same card of calling pandora papers…. You that doesn’t have any party card but chose to be angry because obi is a saint…

No matter how you support corruption and reach, the best that will get to you is monthly 30k naira, 1laptop and 1GB data for you to be typing this thing you just said.

Must you bring the lamba man into this conversation?
What did he achieved in sports as a governor?
For your information, he is already our social media president.
