For some reason, I temporarily assumed that your have better sense, eloquence and ability to articulate your thoughts and stay on topic than that poster and his pointless and irrelevant gibberish. May be he gave you an opportunity to dodge the points I raised..

Rossikk: ^^^It's not pointless. He's merely dramatizing your selfish attitude to the nation.

Oh, and Lagos remains part and parcel of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, until you and your ilk have raised an army, airforce and navy capable of excising it from the federation. Till then, deal with the fact that you do not 'own' Lagos in any way, shape or form.

taharqa2: SHUT it there, you Ignoramic Liar... The new Universities project was PURELY GEJ idea and project. I promised it in 2010/2011, along with building of hundreds of Almajiri Skuls (84 of which have been completed already).. Plus, he is actuali building 12 New Universities, 9 of which are already completed as u rightly indicated (6 in d north, and 3 in d south); But, FEC's approval and construction work has started in d other 3 Universities, which are all in d North, making it 9 in total..... By d way, yr former Northern leadas ALL failed to provide these for you guys in spite of d plenty promises (esp d Almajiri Skuls), a major reason for d sorry state d north is in today, yet a certain President is building these in just ova 2 yrs..

Rossikk:

What points? We've not even seen an architectural render of the proposed Lekki airport, yet you're talking as if it's already completed and ready for commissioning. Why can't you suspend that for now and appreciate the efforts being made at MMA? Why allow ethnic sentiments to override your common sense?

plaindealer:


What's the Lagos state being part of Nigeria got to do with the FG borrowing money from china to spend on airports

that they really should not be part of?

Shouldn't they be getting out of this airport business?

plaindealer:


And what happens to your MMA investments and your best airport proclamations when LIA aka Lekki Int Airport gets here?

Either runs out of business or demoted as a cargo airfield or just another local airport in Lagos state..

Rossikk:

Where did the FG tell you they borrowed money from China to fix the airports?

Why should they not be part of building airports? Airports are infrastructure. A lot of the projects are Public Private Partnerships. Should FG hands of roads and rail too? So what is their job??

Why?

Awoofawo:

just answer this quiz: how many international airports are locate in london area/metropolian?

GboyegaD: And you think they will have passengers considering the cost since they run on very high overheads? Or do you think airplanes will just want to fly in there to announce their presence? How many air companies fly to the current ones available?

The loans to Nigeria include $500 million to build airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano.

http://www.voanews.com/content/nigeria-chinese-loans/1694725.html

PPP is always private investors putting up the money and not the government borrowing to be the primary investor.

Because private investors are better managers of investments and infrastructures and the government in Nigeria lacks the capacity and ability to maintain public infrastructures.

Rossikk:

And what about the 15 remodelled airports?

PPP is flexible as arranged, and does not specify or delineate where a govt gets its funding for projects.

And the govt of Lagos State has all the capacity in the world, because you came from outer space?

I think the Nigerians currently using the 15 remodelled airports as well as Nigerians using the now fixed and well-maintained federal roads and rail facilities will have a very different view on the abilities of the federal govt.

plaindealer: It's funny how you here blowing flowers and roses over a misguided and foolish adventure, but you have no clue that your federal government is borrowing money from china to carry out this foolery...


What a shame...

Aderostock:

Am sorry, you need to stop all this nonsense you are spewing. Lagos Govt. provides free education for all except at the tertiary schools. same goes to all southwest states. so you except Fashola to provide free education to over 4million kids in Lagos? you must be joking. the 40 billion naira monthly allocation and IGR are being used to build standard infrastructures, pay salaries of the largest civil servants in Nigeria after the FG and also being used to maintain infrastructures.

Eko Atlantic:

Those days of free education are over in SW. Free education was implemented by Awolowo to encourage Yorubas to study then, while other regions were still in stone age. Yorubas don't need encouragement anyone because every family knows the importance of education.

solomon111: Let's even assume for a moment that the funds were borrowed.
Pls tell me what's wrong in using low interest loans to refurbish our airports.

Rossikk: Kano Airport Before Goodluck Jonathan








Kano Airport After Goodluck Jonathan








GEJ is working.

CFCfan: My question is this: Will the Enugu airport international terminal be built with the Chinese loan? I ask because I've been reading conflicting news reports about the $500 million Chinese loan.

Sincere 9gerian:
It appears the N13billion Enugu International Airport terminal will be financed from the regular budget. Unlike the others, work on it has been flagged off.

Sincere 9gerian:
Who is this 'medieval ignoramus'? That loan is for building brand new international Airport terminals in Kano, Lagos, Abuja and PH. The loan has NOTHING to do with the work done so far on the Kano Airport because even the loan has not been taken. It is still being FINALISED. The FG intends to finalise the deal next week in China.

What is it with ACN and their affinity to LIES




As propaganda and hypocrisy is no longer enough na so una dey add lie, lie join am.

laykhorn:
I can see you are highly misinformed. Have you been to any of the aforementioned Universities to see what is on ground. I know virtually everything about FUOYE(Federal Uni. Oye-Ekiti)... I am an insider so dont spill some shi.t here. Stop defending the clueless fisherman

Emmadani: @Rossick nawa 4 u o,y u stil dey waste urtym dey ansa person wey dey think tru him yaanch?U get strength o,e b like say u don chop bellefull.

Aderostock:

Eko Atlantic was only telling you that Awolowo had paid the price and sacrificed for us to know the importance of education to the people of southwest earlier before any ethnic group. so we dnt need any yeye free education at the tertiary level which can't be sustained with the current arrangement in Nigeria unless we go back to regional govt.

They are spending billions renovating buildings when there over 10 million children out of school,several youths without employment or stable source of livelihood,extreme poverty,insecurity everywhere caused by societal dysfunction which metmorphosed into kidnapping,armed robbery among others.

Nigeria problems isn't about renovating airport but rehabilitating the larger masses who are the real owner of government but left out to participate in the workings of government.

This is nothing but a waste of fund and misplaced priority !
