@markessien@OoTheNigerian Hardly. These things you've listed are only triggered IF the stadium is draws in activities.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ChubaEzeks@OoTheNigerian which it will. It's a very good stadium in a very good location - calabar, aba, entire aks can easily reach it1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
