Na wao

myfan:
Why is it that nothing works in this country?

Corruption over works in this country, also prayer meetings.

opyou are a liar, this photos were taken during the construction of the stadium.

You can only receive ipobians and the children of hate.

Only the igbos will swallow this shit

Nonsense

Lolllll...... I hail thee...

Blue3k:
At least they'll concession it. The federal government is to irresponsible to manage these assets. The stadium lagos is lobbying for is just as bad.

Jesus is Lord!!!

ExAngel007:
On Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari named the Abuja national stadium after MKO Abiola, presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.

Although this has been widely commended, the state of the stadium has left sour taste in the mouth.

The 60,000 capacity stadium is now turning to a shadow of itself, with dilapidated facilities, grass and refuse littering virtually every spot.
The stadium located not far from the FCT gate was commissioned in 2003, and estimated to have gulped a total of $360 million.


Below are pictures of parts of the stadium taken when TheCable visited the facility on Saturday morning



Dried tree branches lying just by the
stadium



Overgrown trees and grass along one of
the paths within the stadium



The football field now a shadow of itself
Flowers along dirty path unattended to
Stadium or grazing field?



No cleaner in sight when TheCable
visited the facility



Bushes encroaching into the stadium area



Just by the entrance gate



Imagine playing football on a field like
this



Untidy premises



Another part of the stadium taken over
by grasses



The stadium fence



The generator area



Even the small entrance gates are not left

IPOB and TROUBLE are 5 & 6.

professorval1:
Please OP these pictures do not completely reflect the true state of the stadium..

These are only the bad sides

the carpet grass in the main pitch is now looking like an evil forest, what else do u want to see.

A president that thinks Nigeria youths are lazy without job creation, I am sure so many masters holder will jump to an offer of employment as cleaners and gardeners of this stadium but we let party difference cloud our thinking, people that sing praise to Buhari naming the stadium after MKO abiola come and see, I pass by the structure every day and wonder what it would cost Nigeria to maintain a stadium located at FCT...we shouldn't let party differences, religion and tribe cloud our thinking, Buhari is a failure

where are the goal post

alsudan:
They will come and tell you these are 1900 pictures, that the stadium is as clean as Barcelona’s nou camp now.

They say they are the most educated, most sophisticated, yet one Lifeless illiterate dullard from Daura is shitting of their skulls and having them enjoy it.

Wetin dis one dey talk

SIMPLE, just as the previous ones.
Simple.

Buhari just disgrace cone heads and their papa abiola LMAO

It should've have been named 'Moshood Abiola memorial Fulani cattle colony'. That'll have been a more appropriate name!! Or maybe that actually is the master plan since all Nigeria is being groomed to become a giant successor to the American wild west!!!

You say??

then ask yourself what is the work of ministries? go to their office you will never meet them at work but will be the first to complain about unpaid salary

I'm angry,thought i would see pics of men selling kush

Scatterscatter:
On behalf of the Yoruba community worldwide, we hereby reject the gesture made by PMB to rename this property after MKO.

Please renovate this place before extending such gesture next time.

Signed
Omoluabi Parapo

The day Wey Buhari name am you travel �?

Chai


I can't believe this is The Abuja Stadium.. Jesu


No maintenance culture in Nigeria at all. We only see maintenance as a means of corruption and looting.

God help us all.

As far as I'm concerned, if UNILAG is not good to be named after Abiola, then this stadium is good enough.

Abeg let's move on.

Perhaps, they expect the Millonaire children and family to renovate the stadium for the country

Well, everything is upside down in this country. As regards to comparison between Uyo and Abuja stadium, Nigeria football league matches are not been played in Abuja as no club is using it unlike that of Uyo which akwa united plays in. In addition, when the Uyo stadium was built, akpabio signed a deal with Julius berger for continues maintainance which i believe udom renewed.

Like i said earlier, everything in Nigeria is been run upside down as states and federal government are not supposed to be running the facility. Private investors should be brought in, naming rights should be sold(dangote arena, oando stadium etc) , clubs should be privatised and not run by state government. Taking a look at epl, and laliga would give an example on how our football should be ran. See ehn, Nigeria mata don tire me

So Julius Berger, a multinational will sweep the walkways, water the lawns and flush the toilets... with some German Project Manager signing off on the toilet rolls and hand sanitizers....

Nigerians just amaze me. Behaving like spoilt Oil Sheikhs when we are wretched poor. It is a curse for the poor to be served by the rich. It is damning.

Are u guys paid for using your creative time to dig for negative news. If only you can use your creative time to create, discover things that will benefit the black race.

Abuja National Stadium is like Wembley. Who manages Wembley?

MKO Abiola Botanical National Stadium.

UNILAG was renamed after him but the sophisticated ones said the gesture was to reduce Abiola to a regional figure. They forgot some of the biggest universities are named after even more notable Nigerians than Abiola.

Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Ahmadu Bello Univeristy, Tafawa Balewa University... this was a chance to immortalise him by renaming a university after him...but they accepted an abandoned stadium and are celebrating!!!

Idiots

Bihari is really not a sports fan and may not know anything about the state of the stadium.

The most confused set of humans on earth are black people.
Gej named a lively federal university of Lagos after the June 12 hero but his
people revolted against it and now their Messiah named a dead and bushy national stadium after him
and they celebrated.Between Unilag and national stadium which is more popular?. That stadium will only be mentioned
occasionally while Unilag is everyday thing..

Omihanifa:
Sport ministry and NFF knows what they are doing
They want the stadium to decay to the stage that when they are awarding contract for the renovations, everybody go smile and dey alright

You are in the spirit

At least, now it's named after Abiola, it won't be abandoned again

Blue3k:


Its ok it wont kill you. Your arguments are difficult to comprehend but I forgive you. Do me same courtesy. I edited now hope ur ok now.
