🚨 See why Teslim Balogun 🏟 will be the perfect home for Super Eagles 🇳🇬🦅. Super Eagles 🇳🇬 🦅 players spotted at the airport in Lagos after travelling down from Europe before they headed to Uyo. Imagine the stress. It would have been a lot easier for them if... they are playing in Lagos.show more

The Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo is called The Eagles Nest and is the home of the SuperEagles. It's the best stadium in Nigeria and the only FIFA approved one. The team loves it there and we beat Benin 4-0 the last time out. No distractions. No petty politics. Win we must!

The last time I checked it was named after the then Governor of Akwa Ibom Godswill Akpabio (Godswill Akpabio Stadium) aka Nest of Champions.

Yes. The Nest of Champions aka The Eagles Nest. It is not just about the stadium. Top International airport, the hub of the reliable Ibom Air, best airline in Nigeria. World-class Ibom Icon Resort which hosts the visitors and Four Points by Sheraton which hosts our Super Eagles.

Please, get off the meaningless Lagos campaign. WE MUST WIN ON FRIDAY. No agenda, no distraction. Focus on the players and encourage fans to turn out. Be positive about this.

You guys from Lagos are too selfish and sentimental. Mut everything be always Lagos? Check other countries and see how the move their national teams from playing in different cities. Please stop this Lagos BS

You are the selfish one here. When was the last time the Super Eagles 🇳🇬🦅 in Lagos?

@Ibrahimdidamson lol..when was the last time the Super Eagles 🦅 🇳🇬 played in Kano, Enugu,Port Harcourt,Adamawa,Kaduna,Abuja(FCT) etc.

@QualityQuadry Good question Franc @franc_bube

Stop fooling yourself, y’all want them to play in Lagos yet can’t advocate for better playing pitches from your state government. Mtchew

Teslim Balogun 🏟 will be ready very soon to host them. Don't worry.

Ok sir

Have you cure the agbero menace in lagos

Yes.

No worry Once the Uyo airport begins international flights this will be a dead argument

So one day this Lagos boys will asked them to pay before playing or stop the team bus

They mustn't play in Lagos

Why?

It's the national team and not a state team. More stadiums should be built across the nation and the national team should have there own are plane.

The country should start and end in Lagos.

You guys just pure hatred for Lagos.

No super eagle 🦅 player wants to be harassed or have their vehicle stoned 🪨 by agberos begging for money Besides, the Uyo is a far more cleaner environment than Lagos

Where was Teslim when the Eagles needed a home ground. Suddenly they should stop using Uyo. The stadium that has been consistently maintained since it was founded. That would be very foolish decision

What stress? People wey fit fly direct to Uyo or people wey normally dey fly up and down for matches na 45mins flight come be stress? Build the stadium first, dem go come play for Lagos sometimes. Enugu stadium fit see Super eagles match first b4 Lagos sef

Must everything be in Lagos?? Fuck sakes man

You are pained 😂😂😂 and God will deliver you.

Even as a lagosian It’s necessary we take some events out of Lagos for exposure abeg Uyo has serve the eagles for years with top facilities

That stadium no sharp jara

You are funny bro!

It's a national team, not "Lagos" team

The 45minute jump could be spent in traffic enroute Surulere or the Island. The Eagles can play anywhere and everywhere in Nigeria

The only stadium befitting for the Eagles in Lagos is the abandoned National Stadium. Teslim is not much different from Lekan Salami in Ibadan or the one in Abeokuta. Eagles can return to Lagos when National Stadium is fixed. Falcons and the age grade teams can play at Teslim.

you should be ashamed of yourself for mentioning Lagos here, as big as Lagos is they couldn't boast any modern world class stadium How about other countries like Netherlands dt do play @ Eindhoven & Amsterdam away from their economic capital, to see a sensible yariba person eeh

The Super Eagles should play all their matches in Uyo until a world-class stadium is built in Lagos or the Abuja National Stadium is fully upgraded.

No be only Lagos dey Nigeria rest abeg

Have you observed how agberos and thugs never harassed the Super Eagles with begging in Uyo before?

Unless we have sane Lagos, watching Super Eagle game in Lagos is one of the stupid decisions someone can make. Uyo is sane for everyone mental health, both the players and spectacles. A word is enough.

But Teslim Balogun is a very archaic stadium. Uyo looks better than teslim balogun! Until Lagos builds a proper stadium, I honestly prefer Uyo. The economic boost Uyo gets during game weeks helps spreads some of our wealth to far flung regions.

You wan make dem use begging finish their lives?😂

@QualityQuadry yes it wud been more easier if the federal government of the day approve more international flights to Akwa ibom international airport and other airports in the east,so they don't have to land in lagos but fly directly to d east .

Teslim—home of Yoruba beggars Uyo—home of welcoming people

See Agenda oo 😂, na una Govt no wan give Akwa-ibom international route 😂....

What of if their flight lands in uyo direct, what happens when a standard international airport is built on that region

Rather than pushing for international airport hes pushing for relocation as if agbero deg for Uyo…

If not Uyo is not a fully developed city, thats the perfect location. Doesn't make any sense that everything is concentrated in the smallest state in the country. That not how a country develop.

This your yeye PR no go work shaaa… the Uyo stadium is by far better than the Teslim stadium… that’s just the point If any stadium was going to replace it, it would be the Abuja stadium (when renovated) Just rest

Ignore people insulting u,we should push for a coastal stadium and bring home AFCON and other games, @SportingLagos kindly do us the honor, am available to drink their tears

Shameful 💔💔💔 Only one stadium for over 200million people!

So if they travel to uyo to play na crime. Abeg shift one side. If Nigerian make uyo their national stadium na crime abi

Ewedu bastard
