You've erosion destroying your red soil, instead of finding a solution to that before biafra goes under, you're daydreaming about airports. What does the Aba man making shoes need an airport for, when most of customers resides in Lagos? The average okrika cloth seller in onitsha just need a good rail transport to transport his/her merchandise to customers in Kano city - not an airport.

It just a shame, Ibo or eboes will never get it right. Why did you vote for a clown like OnlyILLUSION as your EZE GBURU GBURU? The guy is clueless!!! If these are the future leaders of Biafra Republic, I won't be surprised if Biafra is worse than Somalia.

bettyfool, you are one reason among numerous reasons Nigeria remains a backwater. An average Igbo trader wants quick rate of turnover in his or her business and sorry arse railroad system and poor networks of roads are not enough. Even if they might be “okrika cloth sellers” or “shoe makers”, it is imperative to have quicker ways of transportation of goods and service than currently in place.

Anyway a malnourished punk such as you does not have pedigree to tell average Igbo trader what he or she needs for bulk movement of goods.

This is somebody who is seeing the future of Alaigbo even beyond some of our sitting governors. He made sense when he posited that cities like Onitsha needs an Irnternational airport going by the volume of economic activities taking place in the city, which can only be compared to Lagos and PH. Nnewi also needs an access to the international airport that will be sited around Onitsha or Anambra north area.

You seem rather focused on your State alone and to an extent Enugu. Maybe the other Southeastern States of Imo, Ebonyi and Abia should dislink permanently and form their own alliance as I sense a particular pattern that keeps repeating itself. I am yet to notice any of your type planning with Ebonyi in consideration.

Onlytruth: I strongly believe that our people need EDUCATION, and I don't mean just class room education, but INFORMATION education.
Here in the US, there are three international airports within 40 minutes drive of each other, and they are all always busy.
The South East needs THREE international airports: one in or around Onitsha to serve Onitsha, Otuocha, Awka and Nnewi axis; another at Owerri [/b]to serve Owerri and Aba axis; and one at [b]Enugu to serve Enugu, Nsukka and Abakaliki.
The Onitsha international airport can be remedied if there is a working relationship between Delta state and Anambra state to effectively convert Asaba into an international airport to serve the needs of Onitsha businesses.
If such agreement cannot materialize, then Onitsha needs an international airport. Too many business men travel to Dubai and far east from Onitsha. THEY GO THROUGH HELL doing that currently because they have to travel to Lagos first.
A friend relayed a story about how she was robbed and her brother killed in Port Harcourt on landing from the US.
I doubt it would have happened if she landed in Owerri.
I personally believe that if our people are informed, it would be harder to elect uninformed and local minded folks to lead our states.
We need these airports in SE to liberate our economies and create massive growth and arrest emigration from Igboland. I personally suspect that evil minded, die hard "One Nigerianists" are behind these killing and stifling of Igboland in order to force us out of our lands into other parts of Nigeria to be developing those areas while neglecting our own land.

Uzu na amaghi akpu ogene, ya nee egbe anya n'odu.

International airports link cities and metropolitan areas directly with the outside world. This is HUGE DEAL.
None of world class businesses would locate in areas that are not quickly accessible.
That is why Igboland is dying.
If international businesses are currently trickling into Igboland now, it would become a DELUGE if we have these airports in place.

Solution:

Every governor in Anambra, Imo and Enugu should take this issue as the CORE issue of development.
This is 21st century, and the world has become a village. Most of the money in the future would come by way of INTERNATIONAL COMMERCE AND INVESTMENT.

Do not allow anybody to lie to you about Igboland being "small". The truth is that if we do this, Igboland will become the biggest center of commerce and economic saturation in AFRICA. Some are afraid of that possibility, but we must not buy into their lies.

Here I stand!

Onlytruth, Ndu di n'eziokwu 1 of Igboland, Eze Ndigbo Nairaland.

Eze-Igbo,that your Igbo proverb is ANCIENT!

alj harem: I support an International Airport but 3 is too much.

Lets forgot this pettiness and look at the viability of have 3 within driving distance. It is unreasonable, very unreasonable.

You are an Eze you can do better

Dude,you have been quite calm of late abi you don create a new id ?

I tell ya. I'll still trying to fathom why international airport in SE is causing these people headaches. As someone mentioned, if they do not want to go through any of region to reach their homestate what is the problem with that? Asaba is literally right by side Ontisha and i support ontisha getting its own international airport if do not want to use Asaba.

Nwoke, International and Domestic are NOT the same thing. Chei!!

Oh you did notice, ofcos that is the same nature you exhibit each time you create your usual senseless threads to spite others. Am happy you realize how it feels when you go out with your incoherent posts.

Back to the topic: Anambra and Enugu are long over due for world class international airports. These are only SE states that requires international airports. Particularly Onitsha needs international airport because of the huge and immense economic activities witnessed in the city.

While the international cargo airport in Anambra(Otuocha) will serve Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, Nsukka, down to Imo state and some parts of Kogi, that of Enugu will serve Enugu, Abakaliki and some parts of Abia state.

I agree with the location of three international airports in the SE, but feel Enugu and upgrading the one in Owerri should suffice for the time being, while Anambra gov't enters into a partnership with the Delta state gov't to buy a stake in Asaba airport.

People that say the SE should first fix roads, schools, erosion, etc, are not seeing the bigger picture. All these infrastructure/projects are of course necessary, but it would be better to build/upgrade the airports mentioned while these basic necessities are being done, so when everything is finished, we can hit the ground running and declare the entire SE open for business. Rather than having to wait an extra 2 to 3 years (or more as is the case with any Nigerian project: just look at how Asaba airport is taking forever to finish) to build what we could have done much earlier.

Having two international gateways to the SE, coupled with a good rail network, good roads and constant power supply would serve as a catalyst for economic/industrial growth. It would attract not only foreigners to invest/visit the SE, but encourage Igbos to relocate back home as well and the unfair situation where you have to be based either in Lagos or Abuja (as some bastards have made it thus far) to set up shop for an int'l market or to interact with the rest of the world, such a situation would be reduced to some extent.

The federal gov't could build Enugu airport, while Owerri is upgraded by the entire SE states in a PPP arrangement, with all the states involved having a stake in it. We need to have a 'regional' and 'intergrated' outlook towards development in the SE. And there needs to be less division and bickering for this to succeed.

Regarding Anambra: if it decides to partner with the Delta state gov't, then any rail network planned to link major cities in the SE should extend to Asaba, as well as Port Harcourt, Uyo and Calabar.

Also, not much can be achieved without constant power supply. But i have faith that Nnaji will stay the course and we should see some improvements in power supply within the next 2 years.

Onitsha River Port i heard is now to be commissioned by the President next month. There should be a stakeholders meeting to explore ways to FULLY utilise this facility, and any paperwork/laws that need to be put in place should be settled with no faffing about and timewasting. By now moves should have been made to link Onitsha River Port by rail, and if this hasn't been done then i wonder what Obi is doing.

My vision for Owerri is to be a gateway to the tourist haven of the east at Oguta. The potentials of that place are yet to be tapped fully, and i'd like to see a world class 5-star Hotel/conference centre/Golf Resort located by the lake there.

Nnewi and Onitsha can also be opened up to an int'l market and benefit from FDI's (that thus far have been centred in and around Lagos and Abuja) to help its entrepreneurial and business class grow.

But all this can only be achieved if we have visionary and 'digital-age' leadership in the respective states, with the hunger to succeed and desire to work with the brother Governors for the greater good.

You're an idiot!! What do you manufacture in Igboland that can be exported to the Countries you listed? Get real, Biafran warlord! There is a cargo airport in Anambra and no one uses it, yet you clowns want three airports.

Like I always tell my Igbo friends, if not for Nigeria - Igboland won't be different from Somalia. Most Igbos think after they act - keep living in your delusional world!

Anambra does not need to buy a stake in any state whatsoever. An international cargo airport has been approved for Anambra by federal government. I know that with coming on stream of the Orient oil/gas refinery in Anambra, they will hasten the construction of the airport.

Nigeria that is already in the part of becoming the next Zimbabwe or Somalia is what you think is saving Igboland. You must be a fool, whom knows nothing about development. Nigeria in no way is holding Igboland intact, if anything, Nigeria is holding that region back.

As for the highlighted, dude is it a must to display your ignorance? Is it? If you are stupid, you should hide your stupid1ty. It is not a must to talk. International airport deals not just manufacturing product but citizens returning home you buffon. An easier route for the returnee. Prety much onlytuth and everyone supporting him were speaking of individuals and Igbo business man and women.
Did you even bother reading anyone's post or did you just jump in to show your ignorance?

As for the Anambra airport cargo, what is the name? list it. IT is like how one of you bigots mentioned Ontisha has a sea port and someone asked una to name it, the 1diot waka run without naming what he gladly said. What is the name of Anambra airport cargo, when was it built, etc.

shymmex: I think three Airports are not enough, why can't you ask for fifty? Nigerians are dying everyday from hunger, stress, lack of health care, and lack of basic infrastructures - yet you want the government to waste the scarce resources on irrelevant structures.

Export Okrika, huh?

Innosom isn't exporting nothing anytime soon. So, why not put the cart before the horse - rather than the other way round? The SE needs infrastructural development, schools, good health care, road etc..

These are usual Yoruba cave cities. These Yoruba cities cannot compete with any least SE city. Somalia-like-city could only be found in SW of Nigeria, even the north is way ahead of yorubaland.
