The same in bold is apter for your business executives. You are one lazy thinker. Please mention to me 10 ''mobile executives'' in Nigeria.

Emeka
Chukwumerijie
Nwosu
Chukwunonso
Uzo
Obinna
Okafor
Chukwudi
Nwankwo
Okocha

Guess what; they are all Igbo but they ALL live in Lagos.

Lagos south west Abuja north Enugu south east all in Nigeria and Nigeria is on a tripod so why all the fuse?

FSU:

How do you even define ''executive'' and can you support the claim that there are less Igbo ''executives'' capable of flying out of Nigeria than others?

I didn't support either position. I simply corrected the way Afam phrased his statement.

Katsumoto:

Arguing that a huge percentage of executives are not Igbo is not the same thing as saying there are no Igbo executives. Please learn to phrase your sentences better.

Moreover, didn't many Nigerians criticize the Nigerian government over the way it handled it's relationship with Virgin? Especially after the interview Branson gave.

A huge chunk can mean 10%, 20%, 50%.

afam4eva:

The emboldened just encapsulates your level of bigotry and your allergy to common sense. At this point i don't think i can help you.

I beg leave that ''mobile executive'' jagba jantis boy. He is a non-starter.

I need him to show me a list of the so-called ''mobile executives'' in Nigeria who travel out 3-4 times a week.

THis is actually the first time i'm seeing the term "mobile executive" Where are they mobiling(permit my english) to and where are they executing whatever it is that they're executing. A gala seller kinda fits the description of a mobile executive That logica guys needs to get a brain implant asap

Katsumoto:

So, are you implying that there are less than 10% of Igbo white collar executives? Do you have any proof of this? I think you and especially logica are not helping your argument. I think it would make more sense if you stuck with your argument that most of these business executives and traders are not based in Igbo land than trying to turn logic upside down even when satan himself is shocked at how far people can lie just to prove a point.

Dude shut up already. Why won't it be the first time you've heard it? You that asked this kind of question: "how can they get 4 visas in a week?" Can you actually be considered a knowledgeable person in ANY subject?

Afam,

I am not debating the number of executives and their ethnicity.

I was merely correcting the grammar and logic of your statement. Can you not see what is wrong with the statement below? You are stating that arguing that less than a huge chunk (which can be 10, 20, 30 according to you) is the same as stating that there are no Igbo executives.

afam4eva: This may actually be the first time Nigerians are siding with foreign airlines against their own countries. Why? Because it's Enugu airport and not Ibadan or Kano. Had it been Kano that those airlines were told to land, that house of reps mallam won't open his dirty mouth to shout sectionalism and we won't even be arguing here. But because they were told to move to Enugu because of lack of space, it has become the worst thing to happen to Nigeria after Abacha. God will deliver all of you.

As for that logica. You better change your user name to "illogica" because this is the first time i'm hearing that there are more business executives than traders. [b]Mind you a huge chunk of those executives are Igbos except you're implying that there are no Igbo executive therefore implying that all Igbo business men are traders. [/b]I won't be surprised anyways because your level of reasoning has made me to expect anything from your air-head.

All Nigeria needs now is even development not politics. I live in Port-Harcourt and recently went to Abu Dhabi for a two weeks certification course. I havet to go to Lagos because there's no connecting flight from Port-Harcourt to Abu Dhabi and in my coming back it was only God that saved us in the local flight I boarded and I also want to let us know without sentiment that most the guys in my international flight were ibos.

But no airline will fly from PH if there isn't sufficient demand.

If it were not for demand, flights would originate and terminate at every single airport. That is the fact.

Airlines exist to make money and that is the simple fact.

People that have to catch connecting flights, complain about doing so.

People that have direct flights also complain about
a) Why only one flight in a week?
b) Why only one flight in a day?

And these complaints are made even in countries with well developed infrastructure let alone an infra-structurally poor country like Nigeria.

Pray, Why was enugu Airport Pre-civil war international airport with the likes of BOAC flying from it..,.,
Does it mean
1. There were more profit made pre-war than to be made post-war.
2. Pre-war Enugu had more international passengers than Post-war enugu.
3. Pre-war Enugu travelled more than Post-war enugu
4. pre-war enugu had more companies than post -war enugu.
5. Pre-war enugu had international status and after the war the international status was removed by the government.
6. pre-war enugu had more population than Post-war enugu.

tunnytox:

All these 'major' airports you stated here may be international airports but does not have any INTERCONTINENTAL flights but CONTINENTAL flights. Most flights plying these routes are flights within their continents, for instance there are direct flights from most European cities to Manchester or Birmingham but you cannot fly directly to these cities without stopping over at a major European airports.
Enugu airport can start taking flights from Ghana, Ethiopia or even south Africa but a direct flight from Doha or even Istanbul is not feasible except you want the airlines to run at loss.

Sir, I flew from Tokyo to Perth Australia and Also from Hawaii to Melbourne, last I checked Tokyo and Hawaii are not in " continental" Australia. One can fly from Dallas directly to Australia, or Houston . Last I checked also both cities are in USA not Australia, same goes for flights from Any of the Airports from California to Osaka or Tokyo or Fukoka, they are all "intercontinental" if you want to use those terms instead of international.
Sir, the word is international not intercontinental,but whatever way you want to slice it it is still between two or more nations.

That in color is a reasonable response. How can a nation grow when development is uneven?

On connecting flights and all that, it depends on the route. You can fly to PHC from outside with Lufthansa with a stop especially in Frankfurt and not having to stop in Lagos.

I am sure if certain airlines are dedicated to certain routes, then each of the international airlines will maximize profit in their niches, while letting the airport in question be internationalized to certain routes. All airlines don't have to fly to the same airport. In the USA some airlines have hubs in certain airports and not in others.

In Nigeria, most northerners will be heading for the middle East, so a hub for middle eastern routes will make sense to be somewhere in the North. The same can be said for a hub in Enugu for the Asian routes, where most Igbo traders travel to buy goods.
USA and European routes can be shared by all and sundry and these are places with significant Igbo population relative to Yoruba and the North.

I have seen that in bold in many flights and I can call myself a frequent flier.

You mean, pre Civil War when Enugu was the CAPITAL of the Eastern Region? Does that answer your question? The region was autonomous then, and could afford to spend on an International airport.

I already provided a stvpid answer to a stvpid question. While you are waiting, let me show you up as a dyslexia patient. Answer the question below.

If I travel from Lagos to Accra and back 2 times, how many trips did I make?

A-ZeD:
[/b]

The bolded is where you are getting it wrong. While Igbos might prefer to fly out from Enugu, how many foriegners have Enugu as their destination? Or do you seriously expect airlines to land half full in Enugu because Igbos want to fly from there?.
Even with all the oil companies and foriegners in PH, how many airlines fly direct to PH? That should give you an idea of the viability of the Enugu airport.

Foreigners are not the major travelers to Nigeria. Nigerians are. If A flight leaves Enugu filled, there is every likelihood that it will return to Enugu filled. Besides, they can stop over at Enugu, drop folks there, and go elsewhere to drop other folks and pick new folks, and return to Enugu for the outbound flight. This is a regular practice world over.

logica: You mean, pre Civil War when Enugu was the CAPITAL of the Eastern Region? Does that answer your question? The region was autonomous then, and could afford to spend on an International airport.

Sir, so being a capital is a pre-requiste then to build and site an international airport, but why did BOAC choose to fly the route or were they forced by the federation or regional government

I expect that being an autonomous region, there was just as much activity as to other region's capitals. Now get this: even today Ibadan that was the capital of the Western region no longer enjoys that status; so international travelers from Ibadan make their way to Lagos.

Once again, I'm ambivalent towards the move of the minister, but I find the claim that Igbo traders (especially those based in the East) travel more than every other group in this country ridiculous.

Bro please try to compare likes with likes, Tokyo and Perth are not within the same continents agreed but they are more within the same flying routes. Moreso south east asia and Australia have numerous trade and tourism links. same goes for your flights from Hawaii to Melbourne. These flights are more like flying from Talinn (Estonia) to Manchester or rather Istanbul to Manchester. Also don't forget that I stated that some Intercontinental flights also fly directly to routes within UK just because the demand is there.

Also you have to realise that both USA and Australia are very bid countries with regions who are autonomous, thriving and economically viable, the cities you mentioned such as dallas and houston are attractive tourist destination and even from the UK here you can fly directly there and many USA cities because of the availability of many package holidays. The same cannot be said of Enugu, Ibadan, Ilorin, Jos or even Sokoto.

If Nigeria develops her country and become an attractive tourist and business hub there will be lots of airlines queing to fly to Enugu either to link Obudu ranch,Oguta lake and many other attractive tourist destination in the east. It is not right put a cart before a horse, lets get things right and allow things to take shape as it should be.

That's too cheap for a ''mobile executive''. Ordinary ''non-executive immobile'' Igbo traders from Nnewi travel from Lagos to Dubai and back next day, and then head to China enroute Brazil via the Pacific route, and back to Lagos within 5 days. They still have 2 day left to decide where next to head out to before the week ends.
