manny4life:I get your point and like i said, the only way the stadium will recieve a reasonable number of spectators is if the ticket is free or dirt cheap and that will only help in filling 30% of the football stadium and other sports stadium will remain empty cos we just don't have the Olympic culture.Nigeria is a one-sport country. 1 Like |

manny4life:This is what scaress me whenever Nigerian hosts an international event. I remember being at the edge of my sofa few years ago when we hosted the under-17 world cup. I was praying in my mind "I hope NEPA does not take the light in the stadium...i hope the flood lights are working...I hope people show up in the stadium...i hope..i hope". That's what happen when you're a citizen of a dysfunctional country. |

manny4life:I would like the bolded very much but unfortunately NNewi is yet to get a stadium or should i say, a good or an Olympic stadium. Even Onitsha doesn't have a stadium. |

Imagine Lagos hosting the Olympics, with Eko Atlantic as the back-drop... |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 12:52am On Sep 08, 2013 |
As it stands now, only Lagos can host an Olympic games. Abuja is a low self-esteem city with no character to host such an event. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by manny4life(m): 12:54am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Afam4eva: As it stands now, on;y Lagos can host an Olympic games. Abuja is a low self-esteem city with no character to host such an event. Abeg o, no to Lagos.. Lagos is too crowded and more so a dirty city.. We need a CLEAN, LESS TRAFFIC city. Abj is low self esteem but I will pick Enguu for it's quietness and modesty or Cross River with the Ranch and serene beauty, a GREEN CITY, a place where CLEANLINESS isn't a problem. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 12:57am On Sep 08, 2013 |
manny4life:Apart from St Louis in Missouri and a few other cities, most cities that have hosted the Olympic stadium are usually the commercial capital of their country. Enugu and Calabar will be a good city for it's orderliness about just like Abuja, at least to some extent, they don't have the character to host such an event. I'll even place a sportless city like Onitsha, Aba or even Ibadan before Enugu. All Lagos needs is just some cosmetics and it is good to go. |

manny4life: The olympics are generally held in highly populated cities in order to guarantee a return on investment. That's why the Brits put forward London in 2005, instead of Milton-Keynes or Norwich. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 1:01am On Sep 08, 2013 |
CFCfan: Abeg, na where be this? It's not like Britain had any choice than to present London cos no other city is Olympic material. It's just similar to the situation in Nigeria. It's not like in the US where over 20 cities are capable of hosting the olympics. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by manny4life(m): 1:04am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Afam4eva: Shey I will chop commercial? Yes I understand the commercial aspects, but Lagos or Onitsha are crowded cities without infrastructures as opposed to the commercial host nations. Lagos is fast improving her infrastructures, but is it enough to host an even where more than at least 50,000 people are expected in the country? Answer is NO.. The traffic jam alone on the highways is a no-no, the dirty streets, the uncoordinated activities including extortion and what have you gives it a FAIL. It's easier for cities like Enugu with peaceful environs to maintain decorum than Lagos. The capital involved in the upgrade of both cities are on a scale of 1:10, yet you'll be surprised that these cities have same values like Lagos does. |

Lool at Milton Keynes and Norwich ![]() |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by manny4life(m): 1:07am On Sep 08, 2013 |
CFCfan: I get the ROI part, i.e. if you spent money billions, you want billions back, however, Lagos is overly crowded to a sick point, the city is too damn dirty. Traffic in Lagos alone will put any tourist unease, not to say there aren't tourist in Lagos, but these are dedicated one. Me personally, I would vote down Lagos on the basis of Lagos has A LOT to show for. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 1:07am On Sep 08, 2013 |
manny4life:Manny, it seems you don't understand the commercial value of the Olympics. if Enugu were to host the Olympic, where will the crowd come from? Are you aware that Enugu is to a large extent, a civil-service state? London, Rio and Tokyo are chaotic in their own rights just like Lagos though with better infrastructure. All Lagos needs to put in place are those basic infrastructure and they're good to go. For any other NIgerian city to host the Olympic games then the city will be turned into a construction site. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by manny4life(m): 1:10am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Afam4eva: Ok, I see your point, I'm just saying though... I wouldn't recommend Lagos, if I would, A LOT of work has to be done. This is not because you wnt to impress anyone, but to alleviate or even eliminate certain bottleneck. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Nobody: 1:11am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Afam4eva: Its a city in South eastern England. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 1:12am On Sep 08, 2013 |
CFCfan:Never heard of it in my life and if i havn't heard of it then it can't good enough. I only know the popular places eg Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Brixton, Glasgow, Cardiff, Belfast etc. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Nobody: 1:16am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Afam4eva:Those cities can also host the olympics |

Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 1:18am On Sep 08, 2013 |
CFCfan:Probably. But if they're competing against bigger cities like Chicago, Houston, Sydney, Toronto etc then they'll fall flat. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Nobody: 1:23am On Sep 08, 2013 |
Afam4eva: Yeah, US cities really have no commercial rivals, with the exception of Dubai, Doha, and the upcoming Eko Atlantic. |
Re: Tokyo Wins Bid To Host 2020 Olympic Games. by Afam4eva(m): 1:25am On Sep 08, 2013 |
CFCfan:That's because each cities were left to develop at their own pace hence the reason why you have soo many commercial cities in the US. London and Lagos have taken a lot of juice from Britain and Nigeria respectively. They've taken what is supposed to have been shared by everyone. |

![]() ![]() Afam4eva:. Hey Afam, Don't use style come dey "insalt" Naija here oo. ![]() And don't "inpepper" Maiduguri just because of common boko haram.
