Photo Essay: Bad state of Lagos National stadium

                                   
This is the current state of Nigeria`s national stadium situated in Surulere Lagos.This stadium used to be one of the best in Africa but now I really don`t know how best to describe it but the pictures can.



This is one of the entrances to the once adorned pitch.It has since been turned to a urine bank.
The bad state of the pitch itself.
This is the dressing room tunnel..

Shows the cut grass on the side of the track.
 Seats where the coach and the reserved players sat when the match was on.They are all in a bad state

  2. WHAT A SHAMEFUL DISGRACEFUL SITUATION! COME ON NIGERIANS!!! WE'RE FAR, FAR BETTER THAN THIS. AS FOR OUR LEADERSHIP! THE TIME HAS COME TO ENSURE THAT THIS KIND OF THING NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN EVER! IMPORTANT MONUMENTS LIKE THE COUNTRY'S VARIOUS STADIA MAINTENANCE, SHOULD ALWAYS BE WELL TO THE FORE IN TERMS OF UPKEEP AND SUCH STRUCTURES SIMPLY HAVE TO BE KEPT IN ACTIVE USE. NIGERIA'S WORLD IMAGE CAN BE RE-INVIGORATED IN SO MANY WAYS, BUT IT'S A MATTER FOR THOSE IN AUTHORITY!
