Of the current SE, only Ahmed Musa and Kenneth Omeruo have played in this stadium. I hope it does not feel like an away game for the SE.

Why not Uyo? Do the NFF think?

CAF letter granting approval for the Abuja Stadium to host the crucial WCQ 2nd leg against Ghana mentioned that the playing area, changing rooms and floodlights need to be improved upon before the 2nd CAF visit.
Does this mean the newly laid pitch is not up to standard?

Yup. Sounds like a typical rehab project in Nigeria. She I na Julius B rnovate am? Maybe they haven't installed the toilets yet. Btw, Abuja is hot and humid, not ideal conditions for such a tough match. Angola showed us pepper back in 06 WC at home. Hope this is not a repeat.

That pitch looks like a place where cows gaze before heading to Lagos to be sold!

Really? Some only know Nigeria on the internet. Bro...that pitch is no wembley. Regardless, u can't afford the cows that would eat on that pitch, in Nigeria they're golden Nama.

That’s what I was thinking about. But the good thing is the first leg is away. If we have a decent result away, the stadium would be full and the boys will feel at home.

[Dammy]

Uyo would have been my choice so that the SE can feel at home. We need all the advantages we can lever.
We need to be strategic in our planning so as not to make mistakes of the past.
I remember the SE were doing well in the WCQs in 2004/5 playing their matches in PH but the NFA had a brain fart and moved a crucial match to Kano, the rest is history. History repeated itself in 2014 during the 2015 AFCON qualifiers when the crucial match against South Africa was moved from Abuja where the SE had beaten Sudan 3-1, to the new Uyo Stadium.
I pray and hope we're not making the same mistake again!

Unfortunately, Uyo is not going to happen. POLITICS! Previous Governor versus current Governor.

Let's pray and hope for the best. Hopefully the pitch would be sorted out.
