I hope Nigeria has sent engineers to Qatar to understudy how they constructed this their new mobile stadium

Ayo Akinfe

[1] As part of its preparations for the 2022 World Cup, Qatar has built the world's first mobile stadium that can can be dismantled and transported anywhere

[2] I sincerely hope that the giant of Africa Nigeria is on the ground watching developments, as we will be needing this technology desperately in the future. It may be the solution to many of our continent's infrastructural woes

[3] For starters, as we get set to begin the African Cup of Nations, one of Cameroon's biggest worries is the limited number of stadia she has. This is a general African problem as most nations on our continent have a maximum of two good stadia

[4] Just imagine how much Nigeria would generate annually if we went about constructing mobile stadia across Africa

[5] Just imagine how we could end the out-of-school problem in northern Nigeria of we could use this technology to build almajiri schools in every local government area

[6] Many of you cannot access your villages during the rainy season because the roads are impassable. Just imagine if we adapted this technology to road and bridge building

[7] According to the African Development Bank, Nigeria has an infrastructural deficit of $100bn. This includes schools, hospitals, roads, power plants, clinics, water works, police stations, etc. Maybe with this technology we could have the costs involved

[8] Later this tear, I would like to see Nigeria experiment this technology by building a mobile dairy processing plant in Sambisa Forest as part of a mega ranch there

[9] By the end of 2022, I would like to see at least six such mega dairy plants built across northern Nigeria as we and the menace of nomadism and open grazing once and for all

[10] Maybe after the World Cup, we should ask the Qataris to come and open shop in Nigeria, building facilities and training our local engineers on how to go about it
