This Nigerian Stadium Was Abandoned For Decades

I want to show you one of the best stadiums in Lagos, Nigeria that was abandoned.
The National Stadium Surulere used to be a national treasure until it was abandoned.

Wow so beautiful than the Abuja stadium 😢😢😢

[@aframaco9491]

Lagos should commandeer this stadium complex !
It could be turned into a most lucrative entertainment center for the Lagos mainland!
Why they are "dulling" I'll never know!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!!

It hosted the 2nd All African games in 1973 and kicked off FESTAC 77. I was opportune to be at both events. Used to go out there with friends. This stadium should be handed over to Lagos state government for rejuvenation. I still remember the feats of Valery Oloyede at this pool. Thanks for bringing back those good old memories. We should not forget to continue praying for the souls of the stampede victims at one of the gates in the early 80s. I barely missed being a part of the stampede as I went out that gate just before the match ended.

Very beautiful the governor can sell it out

This stadium used to be the best stadium in Nigeria in the 90s.

[@AfamOrji]

It definitely was.

[@taharka3897]

It was built in the 70ts . At the time it was one of the best stadium in the world. The entire sports complex needs to be completely rebuild.

[@swing740]

A lot of work needs to be done on it, but I think it's still redeemable.

[@AfamOrji]

Thanks for watching.

There's no enough law to deal with people incharge the public funds, that's why Nigeria dont have good infrastructure.
Anyway, now that the video has been made i hope lagos state govt will find solution to it .

[@AfamOrji]

I really hope they find a solution fast.

[@festusigiewe2914]

It's a metaphor for the Nigerian state itself; a reference point for the excesses of public officers and 'national assets' in a dysfunctional Federal Government.

[@chiboyife5456]

Shame on the minister of sports and minister of interior

[@AfamOrji]

I hope they will do something about it.

[@otdavid_]

Why didn't you show the inside of the stadium. Like the pitch.

[@AfamOrji]

I couldn't get access into the pitch.

[@otdavid_]

@@AfamOrji Oh ok.

[@otdavid_]

@@AfamOrji Are they renovating it, or will continue to deteriorate?

[@adewalefagbemi2027]

It's a shame that the government allowed this stadium to rot.

[@AfamOrji]

It's really a shame.

[@fridaybenard8806]

Decay, dilapidation and abandonment describes this once important national monument.

[@abrahamtschukudu808]

Where is the location of this stadium?

[@AfamOrji]

It's in Surulere, Lagos.

[@festusakinsoji2294]

Nigeria is a wasteful nation!

[@AfamOrji]

Very wasteful. I hope something is done to revamp the place.

[@ObinnaGodwin-jj2oy]

It’s they are now using the place for business 😂😂😂
