Memejem: Your post is superficial and upsetting, and I'll tell you why. There is a sense of responsibility that most Igbos have toward AIIA. We have witnessed years of neglect, of traveling through decrepit federal roads in order to get to the airports in Lagos or Abuja. Grudgingly, AIIA was given international status. With no facilities to shoulder such a responsibility, it was almost certain the airport would crumble upon itself-it was only a matter of time. Years have gone by, and the airport has held up against the smear campaign of the Lagos media who once opined Enugu was too dirty to host an international airport, and against the duplicity of the FG who denied other airlines entry into Enugu, while allowing new airlines leave to enter Kano, a city with far less international air traffic. Hence, most of us have come to stomach the slight inconvenience that is a 6-hour layover at Addis Ababa in order to give this airport a lifeline. Then, there's the independent thinkers like yourself who cannot be bothered to fly an airline struggling to find its feet on alien, inhospitable soil, who are enticed by the convenience of flying the Royal Dutch airline, and only waiting under an hour in Amsterdam. That certainly sounds far less tedious, and who could blame you for making a convenient choice. What the rest of the guys on here are trying to say in the nicest of ways and in the politest language, is that your opinion on the matter is of limited benefit, hence no one wants to hear it. Moreso as your time is far too precious to be spent on a matter as pedestrian as planning your trip around the three days Ethiopian flies into Enugu, and as you won't be flying Ethiopian anyway, we are asking that you not kill the zeal of those who do. I believe that's not an unreasonable request. 8 Likes 1 Share |

This forum is for those of us to share our own personal experience. If you took the time to read my comments you would’ve noted that for ME and those of us in Canada many of the Ethiopian airline flights come with long layovers that add up to OVER 24 hours, sometimes even more. Remember someone in Canada will have to catch a flight to a state in the U.S and then catch a flight to Addis Ababa, and then catch another flight that flies out to Enugu. What if someone has children? Think about how inconvenient that is. Very rarely was I able to find a flight from my city with a straight connect to adis. And the fact of the matter is, my goal is to go home, if I can help the airport that’s a bonus. But not my priority. I discussed MY experience. I’m not killing the zeal of anyone here, unless that’s how they choose to see it. I never insulted anyone here other than share MY OWN experience before I was called a traitor and an afonja trying to break the igbo people. Just because I don’t find the options Ethiopian airlines has in MY AREA to be appealing to ME. Is they way I was addressed correct? Is that how you will teach your children and community members to behave to others? If I lived in the United States it would be very convenient for me. But I don’t, and I’m sharing my own experience on the matter. The fact that my”igboness” is put to question over a simple preference of flight is disgusting. My own personal experince doesn’t have anything to do with what Lagos and other states and people are doing to a whole Enugu state and airport. And I shouldn’t be compared to them. passion007: 4 Likes |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by Memejem: 5:08am On Feb 12, 2018 |
Before you say I’m lying. Please have a look at this. Over 33 hours flight from my area to get to Enugu. 3 planes in total. Its how their system is set up. Most connecting flights will be through Washington from Toronto. What would make my family and I choose this when we could take an Air France flight for example that is cheaper and half the travel time? Please try and understand my experience before telling me that I’m being superficial and killing zeal. The politics of the airport with other tribes in Nigeria and the federal government have nothing to do with it. passion007: 3 Likes

passion007: Please stop responding to that Afonja. The more you do, the more he thinks you are dumb and he has deceived you by merely claiming he is igbo. Let him use google translate to also write Igbo and think nobody knows about that too. Biko, Stop being deceived by their antics to be Igbo this or that. Just ignore them to spew their bitterness and hatred. We share a country with horribly hateful fellows we call "compatriots" If you scroll back this thread a few pages, you will see where they argued Enugu was more expensive. Then they argued, ET was unsafe. Now they are arguing it has layover. They are sooooooooooo bitter. You could see for yourself that they mischivously closed down the airport in it's busiest week in December. Please do not let them deceive you by claiming they are Igbo this or that. The same people that conspired to kill Onitsha seaport using similar deceitful and totally false talk are having sleepless night with AIIA, Enugu. They want Igbo to have no access whatsoever to the outside world without first going to their region. That is why you must ignore their silly excuses and just do what needs to be done. I have flow that route from USA about 4 times now and you rarely stay in Addis Ababa for more than 3-4 hours. Notice that he deliberately chose to begin his trip on Tuesday or Thursday so that he would have missed the Enugu bound flight and would then have a long layover. If you book such flight on ET website, they immediately suggest alternate days for your trip. If he could start a trip on 13th, he could very well start it on the 12 or the 14th and he won't have any long layover, but he chose 13th because he was very mischievous to claim there is a long layover. I started the trip on March 12th instead of 13th he mischievously chose. You can see for yourself that it is only in the return flight that you have more than 3 hours layover. Layover at Addis Ababa is the shortest compared to using Air France or Virgin to Abuja or Lagos from USA. Infact in one trip i almost missed the Enugu flight because the layover was just 30 minutes from when the plane that brought us from Washington touched down in Addis Ababa. Usually the one hour layover from Washington DC is like 30-40 minutes because the Washington flight is always delayed. Please don't let these wicked people deceive you. NEVER believe any word they say. They are out to deceive you out of their senseless undiluted hatred. 10 Likes 1 Share

You need to learn to read. I live in Toronto. Ethiopian airlines only operate on certain days in Toronto. You are free to go on the website yourself and put in flights from Toronto to Enugu. I have nothing to prove to you. Not everyone lives in YOUR AREA. You are a very hard headed individual who resorts to name calling and insults due to disagreements with others. All this hatred because of a flight. Are you serious? Is this how we igbos are to work together? Is this how we are to be one and reach common goals? ChimaAdeoye: 2 Likes |

Memejem: Oga if your problem is living in Toronto Canada, then this is what to do. 1. Book your flight on Ethiopian airline from Washington DC (Dulles) to Enugu. 2. Then book a separate flight on Porter airlines,American airlines, WestJet, Canada air or Delta to bring you from Toronto to Washington DC at least 2 hours before the ET Washington DC - Enugu flight is meant to leave. That way, you won't have the long layover you are worried about. If you book from Toronto directly to Enugu on ET, you will be forced to use United airlines because that is the partner airline to ET in north America. So that will be the airline in your itinerary which will be crazy due to their once daily flights to Washington 4 Likes 1 Share |

OyiboUgbo04: Governor Ugwuanyi is trying. At least he completed this bridge and made it safe for schoold children to use it. I pray he completes the International Conference Center too and sell Presidential Hotel Enugu, to a private sector hotelier. There are too many iconic structures just wasting in Enugu. Yet, if these things were available, Enugu can compete among cities hosting international conferences especially as it has an international airport. 2 Likes |

So now that you understand what I’ve been saying all this while. I would appreciate an acknowledgement/apology. Because they way you and some of the other members here have insulted me without trying to understand is such a disappointment. Also, I would only book through another airline if it makes sense. If taking (west jet, air canada, porter) will cost me more than klm or delta, or Air France. I will not purchase the ticket. That’s what I’ve been trying to say since the beginning. cjrane: 2 Likes |

Memejem: You that have been moving for pillar to goal post arguing senselessly to insinuate that Enugu route was not viable. Unfortunately for you, we have people in this thread that have flown the route from America several times and quickly punctured your lies. Afonjas like you will continue to play their deceitful game, but i'm glad our people are no longer deceived by our Shofisticated professional "advisers". There is no arguement in the world you people have not made against Akanu Ibiam Intl. airport, as if it is the only airport in Nigeria.Some of you even said Enugu international airport will kill domestic airlines! Why the desperate hate? Anyhow, I was only making a suggestion for you.Since some of you are too daft to reason outside the box. You always think of a single way of doing things and believe you must follow only United Airlines to Washington which has the long layover where there are indeed other options.However, i know you are just another Afonja thinking that we can be deceived because you said "I'm Ibo" and i know you ain't planning to fly into Enugu and only here to spread unfounded lies. Appreciate an Apology? O'l boy you need to have your head checked.You think i work for Ethiopian airlines? If you like fly to Gambia or Lagos thinking you are hurting me, you will still PAY for night bus to the East or air flight to bring you to Enugu,Asaba or Owerri airport. Most times, you will even pay for hotel too because you will be travelling the next day after arrival and you will repeat the same process when you leave Nigeria. So wetin concern me if you fly Air France or KLM and land in Abuja, Niamey or Ndjamena? Please go ahead and land wherever you like. You MUST still find your way to the EAST. So land as far-away as possible from your destination. Infact, the farther you land from your final destination, the more you will hurt me. So go ahead and land in Bangui to hurt me wella lol... O'l boy Abeg park well. Ndi ala. 13 Likes 4 Shares |
