obowunmi: Let Nigeria privatize airports.

bloggernaija: There has been a deliberate attempt to run down Lagos ,and in extension,the entire SW.
If it were possible to cart away the Atlantic Ocean to Abuja ,they would have done so already.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND ALL THE OTHER STATES APART FROM THE (NIGER DELTA )KEEP TAKING AND NOT GIVING ANYTHING BACK.
They have tried all they could to cart away the corporate sector ,including banking ,telecommunications etc.
But guess what,the people who make things happen and make it rain(the Yorubas ,foriegn investors )are not interested.
If they decide to move a fraction of their investment to iwo today,it automatically becomes the "It" place.
In fact, Ibadan stands a better chance of rivalling Lagos than any other place and that shows in the number of foreigners who already live and work there.

On a side note, I don't know why folks keep complaining about paying to use the trolley. All the airports I've used/passed through, I've always paid. How in the world would the trollies be maintained if there's no charge attached to it.
Let's be reasonable in our complaints pls.

Where then do we start? We can start by doing away with the touts inside the lobby. We can start by ensuring the air-conditioning systems work. We can look to make sure passengers are well-treated on arrival and departure. We always look at problems and immediately assume throwing money at them will solve them. [size=13pt]I have since realised half the problems with Nigeria have nothing to do with money[/size]. Even with all the money in the world, our airports and our country will not work as long as we do not have people who care about excellence. Caring about excellence means knowing that Nigerians deserve the best all the time. When we reserve the rights citizens of other countries take for granted, upgrade such to privileges for our citizens, we will always miss the point of making things work. Nigerians deserve more but as long as we have people – including the President – dancing on national TV because a road contract has been awarded, we’d always have a situation where mediocrity will remain the norm. Would anyone say the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is the mess it is because of money? Nay. It is what it is because we are who we are. We have become a people accustomed to seeing nothing work.

ngozievergreen: I said it, yorubas are incompetent.
So, common air conditioning system the management no fit do.
Na to extort money put for pocket Dem know.
This is not the situation in Enugu airport o.
@ op, u can't eat your cake and have it. yorubas should mend their ways.

Ilaje44:

In an ideal society he could become the president, but I'm afraid not in Nigeria. Even though he has his flaws, I really wont mind him or anyone like him becoming the president. However, him becoming the president alone wont get things solved, because Nigeria is a terribly difficult country to administer. There must be a total overhaul of the system. Duties and obligations must be completely spelt out and due sanctions meted out to anyone found not doing his duties.

If your aspiration/expection level is so low for PUBLIC SERVANTS do not believe that others are like you.

chukwudi44:

Don't even try to mention that word 'ibadan' again as that place is a glorified village!! Too much foreigners indeed I wonder where we would place port-harcourt

duni04:
So going by ur line of thinking, the Igbo minister in charge of the Airport deliberately fixed the Airport in her home state and is also deliberately neglecting MMIA cos its in a yoruba state?

IYA NGBALI: Lagos has nothing,yet it is the dream of an average igbo boy/man in the village to see Lagos before he dies,keep deceiving yourself that Lagos has nothing. Oponu ayilara

mumumugu: When it was good, no praise
now its bad, all complaint
