Is not by population..it is the system...
Each state in america is bigger than Nigeria..America has like 52 States...they have a very good system of government..here we do anyhow,cause we have a very poorly system of government...
Since it's by system, let's give illinois police department #472,000,000 a year let's see if they'll still function optimally

You can't buy intelligence. More money in the budget in Nigeria is more corruption. It seems you landed in Nigeria today from the moon.
If u recruit the best brains and they're checks and balances, it can work pretty well.

Sharp sharp!! No wasting time.

Nigerian government don't have a clue on who attacked Catholic church in Owo. APC Buhari useless government. They said ISWAP was responsible when it had no trademark of ISWAP or Bokoharam who usually claim responsibility for any attacks done by them.

The useless Nigeria police don't have intelligence for investigation. They are only expert in stealing money from motorists.
Illinois population 12 million
Police Budget for a year #5b

Nigerian population 200 million
Police Budget for a year #17trilllion (divide that by 36 states if they share equally, a paltry #472,000,000)

So there's no room for comparison, better soup na money kill am..

I just googled the best stadiums in Africa and it didn't make top 10. Yes, it has awesome specs and I'm proud of what it has and where it is situated but let's speak facts
With a construction cost of $96 million and capacity of just 30,000 funded by a state government you won't expect it to be among top ten stadia in Africa when stadia like Soccer city in South Africa with seating capacity of 94,700 at a whopping cost of $440 million funded by the national government are mentioned. Don't get me wrong, I never said it is the best stadium in Africa, was just not agreeing with the statement that it is not a world class facility.

Eyanbahose:
not upto standard of the well known stadium like the Wembleys etc
I'm still trying to get a hold of these standard u're trying to say

The Stadium itself consists of:

30,000 capacity covered main bowl
Bullet Proof VVIP/VIP areas fully air conditioned
Box office
Media facilities
Two scoreboards that comprise electronic scoreboard and video facilities for replays
Floodlights
Eight-lane 400m standard track
Warm-up facility with six-lane 400m track
A standby power supply system
30 emergency exit points
7,500 seater Grand Stand
Helipad
Two dressing rooms
Ambulance bay

It's a world class facility by any standards I put it to you. It's only offence is that it's located in Nigeria

The name of the stadium should be changed. Did akpabio buid it with his money?
It's not Akpabio that named it after him self. Akpabio named it Akwa Ibom stadium complex.

Mr man, he tried as a governor, but he still did not meet up to what is expected of him, especially from one of the highest paying oil producing states like Akwa Ibom, rather he embezzled the states funds using stadium, what has the stadium generated to the states, of wat benefit, investing in education is the bird rock of any state.
Is it only stadium that you've seen, the whole outlook of the state and various scholarship schemes and bursary provisions for students in universities, Uyo that had a village look as a capital had a breathe of fresh air. Airport was completed, and a lot more things...
The stadium that you're talking about has put Akwa Ibom state on the map of sports internationally. Someone that didn't know a place like Uyo existed will know of such place in far away Morocco or South Africa courtesy of the CAF confederation cup finals it hosted. If Godswill didn't construct that. The game might have been hosted in Abuja or Lagos hence no publicity on Uyo...

And this is suppose to be an oil producing state with the highest share from the federation account, Akpanbio Godswill God will not forgive you for rending this state useless during your rain as a governor
Did you see how the state was before he came onboard and how it was after he left, Government is a continuum so if you don't what you're saying, just keep mute...
Akwa Ibom started enjoying the benefits of oil money from 2007 and they've come a long way from then, for them to be in the conversation is a sign. Before they were just a pedestrian state
Sports › Jose Paseiro Describes Godswill Akpabio International Stadium As World Class. by ubox(op): 11:15am On Jun 27, 2022
Nigeria’s Super Eagles Jose Paseiro has described the 30,000 -capacity Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo also known as the Nest of Champions as a world class stadium with modern facilities.

Coach Paseiro who was in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital as a guest for the NPFL Match Day 35 between Akwa United and Plateau United on Saturday, was guided on a tour of the stadium facility on Sunday by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Sports and Chairman of Akwa United Football Club, Elder Paul Bassey.

The Portuguese alongside his assistant, Acacio Santos inspected the natural grass in the main bowl, the two training pitches, dressing rooms, referees room, conference rooms, the stadium environment among others.

Speaking after the inspection tour, Paseiro said he was impressed with the facilities at the stadium, adding that despite being used weekly by Akwa United and Dakkada FC for their NPFL matches, the quality of the pitch as well as the facilities have been properly maintained.

“This is a good stadium, feels like Europe and the standard of facility is world class. I came here to watch the match and to check the stadium and I must say that the stadium is big and in a nice condition.”

Asked if he will recommend the stadium for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, the coach said “I am happy that aside Abuja stadium we have another big stadium here, I am going round to inspect the stadiums we have in Nigeria and at the end I will give my advice and the NFF will take the decision, it is not up to me,” he added.

The Portuguese had complained about the poor turf of the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja, prior to the Super Eagles 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone a few weeks ago and the Super Eagles will face the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau in their next game in the qualifiers in September.
