Mr. Globe:
Nigeria can never host the Olympics unless they will sacrifice the country's budget for 30 years. Eko Atlantic my foot. you think its national sports festival or even world cup. how do you people even think self
The London Olympics cost $14.5bn even though Nigeria can afford it, I dont think its a wise investment, but Nigeria can afford it even today.

YOUR POST SHOWS YOU'RE IGNORANT. By 2028 Nigeria is projected to have a GDP surpassing $1.5 Trillion - ie three times her current $500 billion GDP.

There's no real reason she cannot host an Olympics in 2028 if she sets her mind to it. She'll be by far Africa's largest economy at current GDP growth rates. And please spare us talk of the Olympics 'sophistication'. There's nothing special about hosting an Olympics in so far as you have a decent stadium, good transport and good hotels, and that's most definitely something Nigeria can provide in a place like Eko Atlantic by 2028. The London Olympics are nothing special. The athlete's village in Stratford is nothing much to write home about. Just like a big dormitory. London hotels on the whole are not even that great. Many have serious shortcomings bordering on mediocrity. Stop overhyping.

It's not just about being able to afford it. We're to disorganized and a country to organize such an event.

In addition to that, we won't gain anything from it economically, so it won't make sense. The only people that will benefit from it are the politicians and contractors.

Excuse me but you sound stup!d. First where did you get your stats from? do you think Olympics is all about money? what of the absent infrastructure even in 50 years. I see no reason replying your post self. You are far from sense

You are so wrong. Nigeria is very organized, the politicians are the ones giving us a bad name. We hosted many international events in the past, and we have the man-power. Take the politicians out of the equation, Nigeria is one great country. I cant trade my Citizenship of Nigeria for anything in the world, not even Citizenship of USA can move me.

Sometimes I wonder where you guys live in Nigeria, most times I am tempted to believe people like this are either living in the core North or life was too hard for them that they fled abroad. Things are not so bad in Nigeria for those who are skilled or certified educ-ale. Nigeria can host the Olympics, we have the resources and the man-power. I keep repeating this, we suck in politics but we are blessed in every other aspects.

Salient, unrealistic and myopic question in a country ridden with mind-boggling corruption, poverty and next to non-existent appreciable world-class facilities. Seriously jaundiced post.

I don't see why we can't do it 2028 is some time away, unless we are planning to have d same problems we have now then, bokoharam, Nepa et al. Money is not the problem, remember the Olympics is more about the city than the country, all they need is FGs endorsement. I was going through the Abuja commonwealth 2014 bid evaluation and the only problem was lack of detailing in the budget

Anytime failure stares in your face, you resort to name calling. Why is that ? Is it that you lack facts to buttress your points or you simply lack the moral muscle to own up your lies and apologize for misconception ? The part of Nigeria you live may be so disorganized but must you always insult other people because you are disorganized and you think that all of us are ?

Remember this will be Lagos states undertaking with the support of FG, how can u say we won't gain anything... The rapid infrastructural development of the state, most advanced airports rail roads... The amount of investment that would come into Lagos will be mind boggling.

Guy, I dont know where you live in Nigeria and the people you dine with. But where I belong, I know what is possible and that includes Olympic. Dont rub your disorganized life on our face by saying we all are disorganized. Permit me to state that it is possible to host the Olympic even better than London in this great country.

spare me your gibberish. Nigeria did not win it because they found them not capable. Nigeria should first worry about world cup before talking Olympics.
