Will your sultan and Yoruba Muslim MURIC people not complain if their airport was closed down during SALLAH period...?

So they couldn't repair the airport from January to November? They couldn't carry out maintenance during the first week of December, they had to wait until now, a week before the festive season kicks off. The FG and the government officials involved in transportation know very well that this time of the year is when travelers travel back home to see their loved ones. So now the travelers would have to go through the following:

1.Arrive in Lagos, bribe their way through airport officials regardless of how innocent they are (we know as e dey go for airport)
2.Embark on a very expensive journey from Lagos to the eastern part of the country, the keyword here is expensive, now the expenses they would incur on this journey would be :

A, Having to pay through their nose to buy fuel as a result of the deliberate attempt by the FG to create this dubious "fuels scarcity" situation (another one of the many ways the FG fleece Nigerians of their hard earned cash, for some strange reason it just happens that this whole fuels scarcity situation ALWAYS happens during this time of the year, but thats a topic for another day).

B, Having to pay each and every one of the criminals police men in every one of the checkpoints littered across every road in the Eastern part of the country. This is where the government officials in the police system make their own share of the loot.

This is a three part racket targeted at the people of eastern Nigeria.

1. The Airport bribes
2. The fake scarcity which would in turn make the travelers pay large sums of money to buy fuel thereby enriching the government officials involved in the petroleum products market
3. The checkpoint / road block bribes which the travelers have no choice but to pay.



Some people love to wail sha.

I've been through the Lagos airport from many travels without ever needing to pay anyone for any reason so what exactly do you mean by extortion?

Are you carrying contrabands requiring you to bribe?

It seems so; but the airport is hardly operational during the harmattan season. In fact no plane has landed or taken off from the airport since December 8 due to bad weather.

Truly, the Akanu Ibiam runaway is bad but this should have been long attended to. The roads would congested for Pete sake.

This is totally insensitive and unacceptable.

With Biafra, airport authority won't wait for the period its citizens are arriving for Christmas to do the repairs...



Amaechi have miscalculated.

Majority of the flights will now be through Lagos.


Wat are Igbos coming to Port Harcourt to do?


Most have houses or family in Lagos, so they will fly through Lagos or Abuja.


But this is highly unacceptable.


Does it mean that Nigeria is totally dependent on Ndiigbo.


We cannot have peace for una?


Even Christmas Oooo

Why MUST Igbos continue to suffer in Nigeria?

From Owerri and PH to other towns in the SE has worse federal roads in the country.

Coming to Lagos by road is not any better. From Onitsha to Enugu, Ebony and Abia state is horrible...

Biafra is honestly the best...where SE will develop their own pace....

And if someone dies and a result of the bad state of the road tomorrow, you would still blame the "zoo government that hates ibos".

When will you people be tired of wailing over everything? Good thing happens, you wail. Bad thing happens, you wail. Nothing happens, you still wail.

Get out of here.

Stop being mischievous....You present your budget and projects for the year...you get approval...set your timeline and execute.
How and when it is executed is the full responsibility of the minister and does not require further approval at any point.....unless you want extra funding......
