lol
It was built by the state govt..

The author of the 2015 statistics didn't tell you the complete story. I want to assure you that in the 80s, the then Imo State indigenes contributed toward the building of the airport. The FG through the military governor out of shame only stepped in when the project was almost complete. Do your research my man

I don't think so oguta is just 18 nautical miles to the seas while obuaku is over 40.

I know of the route to the sea from Obuaku....can easily see it even from google-earth! Not so sure of the water route from Oguta and if it's wide enough. I know its possible with dredging and widening, but we have to consider cost and other geo-political factors involved!

Watch as federal gvernment will rush and stop this plan. Fashola stopped Nnaji from using his Geometric Power technology from supplying Abia power and electricity. Many Igbos still don't know what's going on this country. Your federal roads in SE; where governors and even individuals have written to the ministry of works and housing...allow us to fix this road for free if you don't want to do it, we will pay for it. They say no. Same with Enugu airport, allow us to fix the airport to bring it to Lagos and Abuja level, for free with our money, they say no. Then do it, they refuse.

if you believe any body can stop your dreams then you ain't ready for one yet. Only you can stop your self and I believe real men knows what I'm talking about.

Igbos self development is second to none, cynical minds should Google how Imo airport was built.

Sometime last 2 yesrs ago while doing some cleaning i found the receipt issued for the payment made on my behalf by my mother. Every head was levied. I think it was ike Nwachukwu who initiated it.

Lol!
Where did you get this wrong information from?

Owerri airport was not built by the FG. It was through Igbo public and IMO state government partnership.
It's a common knowledge in Igboland.
Oguguo mainly commissioned the project. He might as well have been the one who put finishing touches on it.

I contributed for the airport in the 80s when I was in Mann street primary school Owerri

The workers are the ones that went to ministry of works and were denied abi?

The owner of the company went by himself. I said to go and ask the workers because they know about it since he's asking for evidence

Why do igbo people get excited over what [s]other regions have been doing for years smh [/s]
Anyways let them develop their state so others can come

Did you develop yours?? Lazy slowpoke, abeg shift, when people are talking about developing their region Yoruba's should not even talk cos you got yours from the federal Government on a platter.

Odua estates,Ibadan.
Banana Island,
Eko Atlantic.
Lekki seaport.Wemabod etc

Good one. But this not what he asked for. Where is LEKKI seaport located? Eko Atlantic and Banana Island is not owned by SW States. Is their any rail network owned or being planned by SW states? It will be nice to know.

Show evidence to back up your claim.
The state govt built it just like Akwa Ibom etc did in their own states using public funds.If you know any known,rich or popular persons who contributed,name them..

Which evidence do you need. Sam Mbakwe taxed every imo state man and woman, did lunching, even people willingly donated for the airport. It was seen as a patriotic act then. Even we in primary school gave our Akara money towards the building of the airport. The most popular gingle on ITV and IBC Owerri then was "Nothing is too small for Imo Airport" meaning even if its 5kobo bring it.

Rail,Port etc are under the purview of the FG and merely mentioning these means our leaders just want to make us happy.Some of these rails have been earmarked to be done.

The SW has set up the machineries for great development.If Nigeria breaks up today,SW will be one of the most developed countries in the world.

This is why I said SE has a lot of catching up to do..

Name just one or two politicians, celebrities etc Everybody knows this is the kind of things they will like to be associated with..Names pls and stop the propaganda.

Good time to develop the South East region whether FG like it or not. By the time Biafran Bank is launched and funds are made available to Biafran Entrepreneurs then Nigeria will be surprised at the rate of development that will hit the region. Enough of protest let's go to the drawing board and change out destiny by ourselves.
Meanwhile now is the Best time to Invest in the Eastern Part of the Country.

I want nothing but out of the shithole called Nigeria. The moment the Republic of Igbo land is proclaimed, I shall return home to impact my technical know-how on the young generation of the republic on pro bono.

Let us make the rail intercity connection project underground to be managed by a consortium accountable to the Eastern government. I am donating 100million for its initial take off.
We can make it happen if we can pull our resources together. I can count over 100 Easterners that can provide 1billon each without impacting their business.
The problem is the willingness to do so. And I can assure you that it will be a profitable venture for everyone

Loool you mean my state edo that has an airport that attracts 5 airlines when the entire south east doesn’t ?

Or the Yorubas that have been self sufficient in raising funds and managing themselves better than Igbo in mainstream politics
Remember its their first time in the centre of Nigerian politics they built their industrial parks , tallest building, first tv station with 0 government support

Only Lagos which was former capital has FG presence
They also build universities in their villages and manufacturing

So I’m wondering why your surprised

Lol you also want to compare Edo to SE? there is nothing we won't see in this life. You cant even compare your Edo with your former Bendel neighbour Delta. Delta is by far more developed and successful than Edo can ever be, is it in terms of infrastructure or manpower, there is no single Edo man dead or alive as rich as Elumelu or Jim Ovia, so rest and stop flexing muscle!!

Which state in SW can you compare to Enugu in development except of course Lagos that FG built but Enugu was built by Igbos you slowpoke.

Igbos built Imo airport from scratch which happens to be the 4th busiest airport in Nigeria just behind Lagos, PH and Abuja (Edo airport nowhere to be found).
Igbo's built UNN which was the best university by records in west Africa.
Igbo's built z600 the first indigenous automobile manufacturing company.
Igbo's built the biggest market in Africa at Onitsha.
Igbo's had and still have the most successful indigenously owned shoe and clothes manufacturing outlets in Aba known all over the world (Aba made)..

We don't just brag we brag with evidence..

Bros, I do not even care if the moronic dingbats will take over all the crude oil wells in Igbo land as long as we have our home land and republic. I am completely sick and tired of the walking deaths as compatriots. These jackasses took union for unity in the shithole called Nigeria.
