If it's about hotel, Nigeria's hotel are better. That's why they are winning awards ahead of Egypt's hotels.

Nicon hotel Abuja has won the best hotel in business category for the third time this year.

Another hotel in won international award.

Ehn bro,take it easy.. don't drag the matter too far..

I dunno why some people will just conclude that Nigeria doesn't have the facilities to host the AFCON. its nonsense... We have hosted the afcon,U-17 and u-20 world cup,all Africa games and many other sport events within the last 20 years.. We have the facilities .
But getting our stadia ready to host this afcon within 6 months plus other things involved in organising the tournament will be difficult... We are in an election period.There's simply not enough time. Even the South African FA didn't receive the support from their government when they decided to bid for the tournament cus it's also an election year there and their economy isn't really good ATM...

So,given the current state of event in Nigeria,we can't host the tournament.. ..

There is no way the games can be played at different times as each zone only has one stadium. This may give room for match fixing as the teams that will play the second game will have the undue advantage.

it is well with Nigeria

Icon4s:


So is my wish too. But don't underrate the challenge from other top teams in Africa.

But you are underrating Nigeria. You are telling me why we can't win but not why we can

Danielnino00:


All things being equal,the favorites to win the AFCON (in my own opinion) are

1)Egypt

2) Morocco (north Africa factor)

3) Tunisia

4) Nigeria

5) Cote d'ivorie

6) Senegal



I don't trust this is Senegal team one bit... They look like another Africa golden generation that won't live up to expectation...

As for Ghana and Cameroon, they are simply not in good form ATM...

I agree with you about Senegal. There are certain countries that are natural Perennial under achievers in Africa. Senegal, Algeria and Morocco are on that list. Another team is Mali. While Countries like Cameroon and Egypt often over achieve.

As for Nigeria, I don't know which position yet to place them on the list of favorites but I will rate our chances of winning higher than those of Tunisia and Morocco.

We were given ample time to prepare for both Nigeria 95/99 and Nigeria 2009 but the slow pace of work by the LOC was an issue in both cases.

Now we want to give Nigeria 6 months to prepare

There are projects in Nigeria that have been in construction since 2005.

2017 was Senegal best chance to win the AFCON IMO...
As for Morocco,Herve Renard being their coach is what makes me believe they have what it takes to win it...But let's see sha..


Which underdog do you think can spring some surprise? its only Uganda I can think of..

The thing just dey pepper me for mind. How can dey just assume Nigeria doesn't have the facilities to host AFCON?

Anyway, I just wanted them to know we can host the AFCON based on the facilities on ground but if we say we can't due to the upcoming election, no wahala. I partially agree.

There are also some projects that starter last year and will be completed this year.

I don't. Our target since the world cup has been to win the nations cup. Most of us were in agreement knowing that our biggest rivals in Cameroon were hosting but now that Egypt has taken over the story has changed. I still maintain that we will win the 2019 AFCON, no shaking.

Keep changing narrative to justify how bad the country is from your abode.

You're really a stark illiterate.

The country is bad "from his abode" and perfect from "your ogbomosho abode?"

You are the one speaking balderdash and looking for loopholes to begin those your usual tribalism nonsense.

Stadiums in states that can afford great stadiums are in good conditions. Uyo, Delta, Rivers(only grass needs to be worked on) and even Edo. There was no need to emphasize on this.

Lagos case is different and it will take a state like Lagos willing to spend money to embark on such projects.

Do you think only stadium is involved? What about accommodation, transportation, security, logistics etc

Use your brain for once.

You're always quick to sing the chorus of nationalism.

You want Nigeria to host a CAF competition? Heck, almost all the stadiums you mentioned are constantly ravaged by presidential cows - eating up all the grasses.

In Africa we have Grade A, B and C Teams.

The Grade A Teams are usually the top favorites and are often the seeded teams while Grade B Team are those Teams that are not favorites but are capable of hurting the Grade A Teams if they take their chances. And the Grade C Teams are teams that u know will hardly cross the group stage or that their greatest achievement could be the qualification for the next round.

From experience, Teams that spring surprises are the Grade B teams and not Grade C. I consider Uganda as a Grade C Team. Forget that we drew them in that friendly. They are not much of a gifted side.

Zambia was a Grade B Team prio to when they won the AFCON in 2012. Burkina Faso was a Grade B team also pro to when they played in the 2013 AFCON final. Even Cameroon was a Grade B leading to the 2017 AFCON, they were not among the favorites.

Even though I know the favorites already, on the team(s) that can create surprises in this AFCON I would want to see the final list of qualifiers as some of the countries that may create surprises are still yet to seal qualification.

Does one need great airports or a functional airport in good condition to host a mere AFCON?

Sometimes ehh, you wonder how Nigerians think.

Abuja airport is far better than all the airports in Sub Sahara Africa save for South African.

Which airport in Africa has train connected to the airport? Just two. Tambo international airport, South Africa and Casablanca international airport Morocco.

The almighty Egypt don't even have one.

Nigeria has 4 newly renovated and remodelled airports with newly built terminal.

How many does Egypt have?

You mean the same airports where cows are spotted on the runways?

music to my ears

Hosting AFCON is the least of every serious thing on the minds of Nigerians. Only a delusional forgiveness thinks a nation ravaged by wars can host an international competition.

iswap and boko haram are still holding sway in many communities, dislodging folks from their homes.

Futhermore, the fates of Nigerians are yet unknown as regards to what would be the outcome of the presidential elections.

Awoniyi has left Gent after an unsuccessful period. He could be moving back to Mouscron.

Egypt has not been the Egypt of 2010,their best moment in the past years was qualifying for the 2018 World Cup
