TOO SMALL. OTHER REGIONS NEED DEVELOPMNT...
With $6.5billions we can begin to build a high speed railroad, another oil refinery or even an ultra modern hospital, to deliver good health services to good Ghanaians.
What exactly is wrong, with these assholes?
Ghana needs a comprehensive railway network system that will link the North to the South. Railway network is more effective way to ease congestion on our roads and eliminate most vehicular accidents. Our leaders lack priority
better president apart from rawlings and nkrumah
THIS SANJAY IS THE BIGGEST IDIOT GHANA HAS EVER PRODUCED ON THE INTERNET. GO AND GET A JOB PLEASE, AND LEAVE THINKING TO REAL GHANAIANS.
That is your own opinion, so be it. I don't care which party wins but frankly, Press. J.D.Mahama is my best so far as he has fall in my category of development I always believe in. Little drops of water make the mighty ocean, ...

They should focus their attention on things that are much more important than a stadium. For example, hospital infrastructures, road ways, railways, better airport runways, schools etc etc.
This is simply a stupid unecessary project at this time of national development
Kids dont even have books for school, our health system is in shambels and we are going to spend a whopping 15 % of our GDP on a mere stadium ...

Stadium for what.bullshit.Create jobs people r struggling
You probably mean GHS! $6.5 Billion is way too much!
It depends on what they intend to build but the figure is not way too much.
There are more important and needy projects in the country than a stadium. Our airport is 40 years behind time.
We just need bare BASIC NECESSITIES.
Have u guys considered the sea rust on the coast line?.
6.5 billion Dollars???At the same location ?After selling the land around the stadium you are now going to break all those churches etc.and compensate the victims
Oh mother Ghana is Doomed
There is currently a land at amasaman reserved for years for the olympic stadium, why not develop that zone? also, dallas cowboys stadium, which is by far bigger and modern cost 1billion US dollars. So, this is a $6.5billion ...

We set up SADA to bridge the poverty gap between North and South yet we pile up more investments in the South much to the negligence of the impoverished North.
When was the last time the government facilitated a $1bn inve ...

Foolish jokers. I think $550 million is more like the cost of a typical modern 60,000 capacity football stadium. Why is every project super-inflated in our dear country?
Foolish jokers and thieves leading us nowhere!
Thanks bill. MetLife stadium in New Jersey cost 1.7 billion at current inflation rate and it's way bigger. A simple google search will reveal this will be the most expensive stadium ever built and it's not ever the biggest ...

I suggest you re read your article and comment
Oooooh our mother land Ghana where re we going in dis country oooo.
why is it an olympic stadium? aaaba. i think it should be $6.5 million instead
Dude, that can't build nothing. It's too small. $6.5 billion is a bit on the high side but not too far from right.
Another scheme to steal is in the pipeline. How can a country with a GDP of $35billion build a stadium costing $6.5 billion. Which country is this world has built a stadium costing that much. How much did the 10 stadiums buil ...

stadium for what?
this is a perfect misplaced priority
I live in Dallas Texas. The recently built Cowboys stadium touted as the most costly and biggest state-of-the art facility with 100,000 capacity, cost only $1.3 billion. Why does NDC and its mafia government always think that ...

EVERY ONE AND EVERY NATION IS ALLOWED TO DREAM. GHANA KEEP DREAMING
A modern and befitting world class city or a stadium with this whopping amount?
6.5 billion dollars and not 10 billion dollars
under this shamble and ungrowth economy where school children still study under trees. Where there is strike every where?nonesense
BIG TALK!
If this is true. The money $6.billion is too much why? We can get 4stadium out of $6. Billion
50% of of $6.5B for NDC party, 5% for JDM, 5% Aseidu Nketsia. 10% for the other thieves 10% for their girlfriends
20% for the actual project. SAYS KANAWU III
THE COST OF DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM IN ARLINGTON COST $1.2 BILLION DOLLARS.
I DONT BELIEVE THE AMOUNT QUOTED IS RIGHT.
ITS WASTE OF MONEY.
The Author needs to be cited. He/She is deliberately trying to mislead the public and cause disaffection.
Ashantes folks trying to be wise guys
Just wait and see Ibrahim Mahama break grounds for $2 billion.
Please will somebody put some sense in our politicians? Are we going to spend this money to build a stadium when we have school children studying under trees and some with out school chairs and tables?
I know other projects will be included but that's too much.thats four times the cost of Wembley stadium which is£757 million(£938 million in 2016)90000 capacity.this are debts we are accruing for the future generations so p ...

Sunyani needs a modern stadium too and other regional capitals which don't have it have to be considered. Is time the national cake is shared fairly and bring all the capitals to apar
And you building another one
stop country. no decent hospitals but you keep building stadiums
If I may ask,what is the population of Tema? Why 60,000 stadium? How many Ghanaians watch the local league matches? And is the cost involved is really $6.5 billion dollars? Please Ghanaians wake up.
TIME FOR CHOP CHOP BY NDC.

We are currently using 4G wireless systems in the developed world and look at them talking about 6G. The gov't is not serious.
YES IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. ALL REGION NEED A GOOD STADIUM, GOV.
It's a laudable idea but who is responsible for it's maintenance as this is not part of the Ghanaian culture. Looking at the nature of the turf at the Accra Spots Stadium.

The only intresting thing head thesedays and I hope they are going to be vigilante on that soulsourcing stupidity which has killed Ghana from wayome to that agabire idiot his counter.
Is a new national stadium a priority at the moment? Why can't we use that money to build a factory or hotel to create employment?
waaaa loook at ndc at it again. Stupid projects just to deceive the populace to vote for them.6.5 billion is a lot of money that can do sooo many things for the country
Nonsense, Ghana can't even pay nurses saraly
A Country without reliable energy for economic growth? this government is visionless
WHAT KIND OF STUPID PEOPLE GHANA HAS AS LEADERS.INSTEAD OF BUILDING AN ULTRA-MODERN HOSPITAL,FACTORY,SCHOOL OR EVEN AIRPORT,THEY ARE THINKING OF A STADIUM.TALK OF MISPLACED PRIORITIES.
Fuck boot ball we need morden hospitals across de country
I believe it's not e government which will be paying so chill guys. if someone wants to invest in such a venture it's a cool idea
