Are you still here, Please Nairaland, do something.

Oboma1:

Fine, what a nice contribution, but I must add, Sokoto International airport used to be very viable in the 80's. Nigeria Airways used to connect Niamey from there, one three flights weekly. This is far from the normal local flights. Even Calabar, used to connect Malabo, during the era of Nigeria Airways. So, whatever airport that was termed International then, used to fly International indeed. Today, due to decay in infrastructure, non of them will have the liver to even answer International. So, Nigerians mentality is intact. You cross check your information before putting them across. Nigerians are not fools, please.

If they did all of this wonderful things, other than Lagos, Abuja, Enugu and Port Harcourt international, give me the codes of other international airports in Nigeria including this one so I can look it up because if it was assigned, it would still be active.

Oboma1:

I dont have any reasonable comment for you, because I can see you need unreasonables ones. Enjoy your ability to rant!

koolchicco:

What kind of business. The kidnapping or the state that lead in arm robbers. Ohhhh, I think is both.

True that there are certain goods you cannot transport by air but yes people would pay money to get their goods to their destaination fast and its not that expensive as you might think because they are consolidating several goods into one, less insurance and minimized risk. Moreover, they go by weight and distance in NM when freighting and if I'm correct, a normal flight from lagos to onitsha should be about 200NM, about 45 - 60 mins, operable by a 737 converted to a freighter can lift almost 187,000lbs of weight and that's with full fuel for a maximum range of almost 4,500NM (Lagos to Newyork). Like I said, airlines calulate by NM and the average cost per N/M is about $.0.13, and since each seats (200lbs) represent a piece of cargo * by a 200 NM trip would be, $0.13*1*200 = $26, calculate that in to (N), that should be what your cost is. This would be a lot cheaper than passenger because passengers are assigned 200lbs slots regardless of flown or not, but cargo you adjust based on demands and so on. Yes people who want to deliver bulk cargo more so on a flight can do it.

@ Post,

I can only tell you people that our governor is only playing games. This is just another of his propaganda.  It works fine for him though.

How am I sure the kidnapers did not come from Anambra?The government should ensure the Onitsha head bridge is closely monitored because most of these kidnappers are known wanderers.

Gunmen Kidnap Senator’s Wife in Benin
From Adibe Emenyonu in Benin, 11.04.2009


Unknown gunmen yesterday abducted the wife of Senator Francis Okpozo, Anna, in Benin, Edo state capital. Mrs. Okpozo, a pastor with Christ Embassy Church at the Erediauwa branch, off Ekehuan Road was reportedly kidnapped at about 9 a.m Monday from her house, No. 10, Abu Street, shortly after a prayer session with her family members. Her husband, Sen. Francis Okpozo, an outspoken politician was said to have traveled at the time of the incident. Her two sons with whom she prayed had reportedly just left the house when the kidnappers struck.
According to eye witness, the kidnappers, four in number, had pulled up and parked their white Audi car to block the gate of the compound. While two of the kidnappers were said to have gained access to the compound, the other two remained inside the car.
It was learnt that before her abductors took her away, they searched everywhere in the house and took along with them some valuables and thereafter phoned Sen. Okpozo, demanding a N5 million ransom before they could release her.
The kidnap of Mrs. Okpozo is the second incident to happen to the well respected politician in less than a month. On October 13 this year, unknown gunmen had broken into his country home at Ozoro in Isoko North local government area of Delta state at night and shot one of his nephews severally on his legs.
The Senator was also not at home during the incident. Several of Senator Okpozo’s associates who visited him yesterday condemned the kidnap of his wife, saying the latest incident is “one too many’ and called on the kidnappers to release his wife immediately to enable her re-unite with her family.
At press time yesterday, several callers besieged the Senator’s house, even as the incident is said to have been reported to the police.

@ Manny

I was laughing at your calculations cause, well, let me just say , it was funny LOL!!!

Lets take Lagos-Enugu axis for example, a round trip will cost U about 20,000 naira and thats economy class.  Compare that to a round trip using one of those luxurious buses, 5,000 naira will do the trick and thats u traveling first class  If u are road savvy and dont mind discomfort, U can do the trip for half of that. That difference alone have shot your over head cost up by 25 percent. Factor in the cost of transporting the goods and U will end up selling the goods to ghosts when U get back to your destination.

U see why I didnt want to go into all this cos now I am sounding as if I am anti-airport.

If they (FG or state govt) really want to help let them focus on the already existing roads instead of making bogus promises that we know will never see the light of  the day. Another avenue for some pot-bellied politician to make money.

Enjoyment1:

Do we have anti-kidnappers squad , or may I say Post-kidnappers squad in the Nigerian Police?  

Anyway, I think we were talking about how to build an airport in Anambra!.

Reason why I have to come to Nigeria and establish my small scale airline ,  haha
