Nigeria my country When are we going to get it right in this country.

Nigeria! Nothing surprises about Nigeria. Decaying infrastures, missing billions of USD, epileptic power supple, tribalism, nepotism, corrupt leaders, corrupt politicians...the list of negatives is endless. Nothing surprises me. Welcome to country that is supposed to be rich but sadly an abysmally poor and disorganised country! This is Nigeria - my country!

Ballmer:

[s]Once the airport is mortgaged you will claim FG mortgaged your life.[/s]

I'm not the statist ilk you associate with. Please don't make me laugh with the comparison. Did the other concessions agreements and privatization hurt country?

Obviously you haven't read my comment history or thread post on stuff like this. I've always be for it. I literally posted stuff on it a few days ago regarding rails.

APC government and lies and scams

Suddenly Rotimi Amaechi has gone quiet pursuing only railway projects all around the country

This headline is about Enugu Airport,where did APC and Amaechi come from

We thank our amazon for a job well done.

I always tell people that, when South East people are done "chopping" their numerous lies, they will still come back to "chop" their bitter truth..

Which ministry is in charge of airports? APC or PDP?

Nonsense question

children of hate already on the thread and spewing trash hmmm
smh

adeniyi55:
I always pay u guys salary consecutively god catch u today

CaptainFM1:


You have a point. Government has no business running airport.

After the test the concessions with Abuja and Lagos. They should definitely consider Enugu, and port Harcourt. The federal government shouldn't inflict itself with a burden it can't handle.

lol
But the former of Aviation Stella Odua renovated this airport few years ago ,APC has not said they do anything on the airport

Has it not been raining since Oduah left office?
Has commercial and cargo aircrafts not been landing on the tarmac since Oduah left office?

FortifiedCity:
I am only interested in knowing what's inside those containers.

As for Nigeria. I know one man who can salvage the nation

Don't be surprised when they are found to be empty

Alright ,you are right

xlander:

Then the contents must have been evacuated overnight

Even the umbrella cannot give me garri to soak in this hot afternoon.

Flaghouse1:


Take this umbrella to American embassy , they will give you visa sharp! Sharp!,tell the visa office Mr. Washington that I sent you ok.

Blue3k:
Lol which airport does the federal government manage well. I don't know why people wanted these hacks to manage the airport.

Concession the airport, sell it or let state manage it. They already have plans to concession Abuja and Lagos airport. Let them add this to list.

No progress will ever be made if people are not held responsible for their actions. A prison term of 6 years with hard labour for the criminal oduah will send a signal to future ministers. To simply concession the airport as a solution will never bring progress and development.

Truth be told that airport was done about 3 years ago. And as a facility that is heavily used, maintenance culture is very important. Even if it is built by the Germans, if toilets are not cleaned, simple leakages are not plugged, grass not mowed, the airport will deteriorate.

For example Anytime I use the Abuja train, I see how the Chinese managers constantly attend to one thing or another maintaining things, I know the day they go we are in trouble.

This Nigeria of ours needs to be awarded best Story Production Country,
Even best storyline producer.

for every story, there is a fantastic line to suit it till it ends.

Nigeria We Hail Thee !!!

Look at how they are patching the runway...just like Rochas is patching the roads in Imo state. Shameless people

Spylord48:
Stella Odua comes to mind.Billion was spent just to rehabilitate this airport instead of awarding the contract to a good firm,they awarded it to themselves and their cronies.They went there and poured condemn oil ontop of sand claiming that enugu airport is now a world class airport.
Yet the crook that was in charge in Now in Senate shamelessly shouting yey and Na.
I wonder why Ben Bruce won't call her and ask her questions or must he rant on twitter?
He should use his position as a Senator and ask questions or is he too shy to talk in the Senate chambers?

Don't blame Odua alone. What about the regulating and certifying agencies?

Someone must've approved this job as meeting specifications.

after they will be shouting marginalization. .contractors were paid in full. .if you look well, it will be igbo contractors. . .hey have swindle it and now wants to blame the gov't. . .

If this airport is at North,with the amount of money allocated to build the airport, Northern man would do best to mark sure the airport is up to standard..and much money money left over to shop..but for our bros at East, they would shop the money and wont bother doing any work..we are our own enemies at east..forget Buhari matter..
I have been at that airport and seen it first hand.its disgraceful to say the least.
Buhari should permanently shutdown the airport.

Cool with me arrest who ever you want. The government job is to regulate and ensure quality. Concessioning in right hands means means the business does what ever it can to make money. They can't afford to start losing money. When NPA concessioned ports there was improvements to clearing times from what I read.

The honourable senator should stop selling himself in the social media. He was elected to serve the nation and have every legislative power to deal with this type of issues. Nigerians want to see actions except if you are in favour of corrupt practices.

Yemi7up:
If the president try probing this again,then come the noise selective prosecution.

The is the kind of case President should deal with but he won't because it doesn't affect them, that's why the people shout selective prosecution

shaibu123:
Take me to court,i will say it over and over again SE politicians are businessmen and women.This is an Airport Deputy Senate President Ike EKWEREUMADU goes through week in week out.Anyim Pius,Ugwuanyi, Etc. Any yet somebody will come here and say Hausa fulani this and that

my brother Leave them let pant be wearing them always claiming marginalized yet their brothers are at the helm of affairs

God bless you for telling the truth

igbos are the leading drug dealers in Africa, they mostly use airport to carry the drugs abroad yet they cannot construct a decent airport for their crimes!

Keneking:
APC government and lies and scams

Suddenly Rotimi Amaechi has gone quiet pursuing only railway projects all around the country

Senator (Princess) Stella Oduah has remodelled all the nation's airports to international standard , so there is no need for Rotimi Amaechi to do anything again. Let Rotimi just face the railways.

samebony1:
Who approved and paid the contractors for jobs not done. Name and shame them please

STELLA ODUAH, FORMER AVIATION MINISTER WHO STOLE BILLIONS, WAS THE ONE WHO AWARDED THE CONTRACT FOR THE ENUGU AIRPORT! SHE EVEN INVITED PRESIDENT JONATHAN TO COMMISSION IT WITH SO MUCH FUNFARE AND WASTED FUNDS ON A MEDIA BLITZ!

If we write that President Jonathan and his Ministers were 100% rogues, some members here would start writing insults as response!

God help us!
