wahala, dem dey talk go left, dis one dey talk go right.

Going by your first paragraph. has anything changed now? Is the stadium still now fully funded and owned by the govt? In case you don't know, dangote only helped in the renovation based on appeal by the minister of sports.

And you didn't read the part were the contractor said they will carry out maintenance of the project for two years, so what happens after that two years?

iLoveYouToo:
I knew it won’t be long before impertinence kicked in.

iLoveYouToo:
Lol. Those maintenance clauses are now being added because government sucks at maintenance (even FERMA is being scrapped). Since we’re both rigid on our stance on this, let’s let both move on.


Anyways, thanks to the private sector for always coming through when government fails

Wahalaperson:
seems you are not even in Nigeria sef, do you know how many times renovation works has been done on this same stadium. There's a big politics going on with this particular stadium here, very big one by successive govts. I would have loved if the renovation was done in the whole stadium and not just on the football pitch and stands only, then the contractor said they will be maintaining the pitch for two years, I hope they renew the contract after that two years, else, the stadium will just go back to the usual pathetic state.

Rexymania:
It took dangote to revive our national stadium

iLoveYouToo:
Lol. Guy! Don’t even start. Go to Civil Service Commission and enter their toilet. Let me not add Calabar stadium and Lagos (until recently). It’s visible to the blind that government is a bad manager (especially FG).

iLoveYouToo:
Did you visit that stadium before this renovation revamp began? It was in a sorry state. Hard as it might be to accept, we have very poor maintenance culture

Kingluqman:
E go still spoil.. 9ja no geh any maintaining culture at all

Aside Adenuga, I am yet to see what a southerner has done in regards to CSR. Especially South East and South South. But the children of hate will creep out now to condemn this man.

Watch as haters begin creeping from the wood work.

Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, is set to hand over the refurbished main bowl pitch of the MKO Abiola National Stadium, Abuja, to the federal government in November.

Adedeji Adesoji, executive director of Aron Nigeria Limited, the contractor handling the Stadium’s renovation, disclosed this during his inspection of the world class edifice in Abuja on Monday.

Adesoji said the new scoreboards installed at the stadium are Video Assistant Referee (VAR) compliant, adding that the Platinum TE Paspalum grass was used, the same type FIFA approved for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

“We started in August 2020 and we were supposed to finish in 2021 March, but due to some hitches, like the drainage had collapsed after several years of not being in use, so that took us 3 months to fix. We have changed all the 24 water sprinklers.

“We have fixed the scoreboard to international standards, record-in-time, play-back, fast-forward. It can also broadcast to the world, and other things.

“The grass is in an advanced stage and we are looking at handing over the pitch to the sports ministry next month hopefully.

“The grass here is the first time it is being used in Africa, Platinum TE Paspalum to be used will be the same type FIFA has approved for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.''

According to him “But now we are maintaining the pitch, we will be doing that for 2 years and we also have growing more grass outside the stadium in case we need to replace the grass at any time.”

On his part, director sports facilities, Ministry of Youth and Sports, Engr Muhammed Babakoby, reaffirmed the federal government’s commitments to make good use of the Stadium.

Dymaco:
Negotiate later is what is causing problem in Palestine and Israel.

gidgiddy:
But your Nigeria was founded by People who came all the way from Europe to rain bombs and bullets on your ancestors so as to steal their resources. Even that name "Nigeria" was something a white European woman gave you as your national identity, and which you shamelessly still answer to this day.

Dymaco:
Because those 5 states are not only biafra; anioma, igweocha, egbema, obigbo in delta state and rivers state are igbo land too.
How can we have same community with same tradition separated by state; egb

mrvitalis:
Ok we hear ...if we end IPOB ...what next

This is the reason why international community does not take the agitation serious. They know that Nigeria is a sovereign state, and if truly Igbo's want to leave, they know which channel to use.
Its like going in front of the british or American embassy and be shouting " Give me Visa".
And when someone passes and tries to tell you that you cant get VISA like this, you attack the person. Call him Saboteur and burn his property.

You keep shouting that the British and Americans hate you, thats why they don't want to give you visa. Meanwhile, you have not applied for VISA.
Then your leader asks to pay money into his account to buy microphone and more speakers, so you can shout more. That the more you shout the closer you are to getting VISA. The people keep paying to his account and shouting outside the embassy.

Osimhen could bring balance to that PSG attack because none of Mbappe,Neymar,Messi are out and out 9s.

Mbappe is also destined to leave for Madrid soon.

Osimhen flankd by Messi n Neymar will be brilliant for him,PSG, and SuperEagles.

zedegit:
To be honest. I would take it if I were him because very few would reject the opportunity to play with Messi.

That alone is a lifetime achievement.

TOTTENHAM have joined the bidding war for Genk star Paul Onuachu in their search for a potential Harry Kane back-up.

That is according to the Daily Mail, who report that Spurs will have to overcome the likes of Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Southampton and West Ham.

The same report suggests that the North Londoners' rivals Arsenal have already made enquiries for Onuachu.

The Premier League giants will also have to reach an agreement with the Belgian side, who rate the 6ft 7in striker at around £20million.

Atletico are said to be among the frontrunners for the centre-forward's signature but it seems like he prefers a move to the Prem.

Tottenham are on the lookout for a back-up to Kane, who expressed his desire to leave last summer.

The England captain was approached by Manchester City but the Prem champions failed to meet his asking price.

The 28-year-old has a contract until 2024 but his future still appears uncertain amid a shaky campaign that has seen him scoring just once in seven Premier League matches.

Tottenham are reportedly keeping tabs on Fiorentina star Dusan Vlahovic as well but are facing intense competition from Juventus.

That is why they are also eyeing Onuachu, who has been in stellar form so far this term.

The Nigeria international has already netted 11 goals in 15 appearances across all competitions for Genk.

The 27-year-old joined the Belgian outfit in 2019 following an impressive seven-year stint at Midtjylland.

The Nigerian has since registered a whopping 56 goals and seven assists in 84 matches.

Tickles001:
You missed a few. Telecom companies would block lines that did not take the vaccine. Banks will demand you renew your BVN with vaccination cards or they suspended your account.

Then big churches would be directed to allow only the vaccinated to worship, else they'll be closed down. Then schools would mandate students to get the vaccine or they won't write exam.

Lanre4uonly:
It is well.

DeadCountry:
OP, you are nothing but a terrorists and from your write up, it is so glaring that you are a bokoharam member.

IPOB is curing the madness of you terrorists, and by the time IPOB finishes with you terrorists, you all will wake up in futa jalon where you all migrated from.
