@eziachi
your point still boils down to the fact that igboland needs an international airport, Nigeria has over 300 tribes;if every tribe start requesting for an international airport base on sentiment,there will be problem, Nigeria is wide and multi-complex, Lagos airport serves the south west axis,kano serves the northern axis while abuja serves the fct territory and surrounding states and port harcourt serves the south/eastern states, I will appreciate upgrading of the existing ones rather than dashing international status to some runways!, Haba

It funny how you said that Lagos served the West, Kano serves the north, though you forgot Abuja. Then with Port Harcourt you decide to slash into two with SS. Will it be terrible if Port Harcourt serves SS axis and Enugu serves SE axis. I don't think you say the same if there was non in Lagos and Calabar is meant to serve the West axis.

I am still waiting for your so call criterial for  fo siting an international airport in Nigeria.  Take example of Cameroon, how many of their citizen travel abroad, compare to th entire South East but Cameroon had international airports in Younde-Douala-Garou and Bamenda, a situation that gives everybody easy access withut having to travel miles. I try to argue with facts. If you think that Between the cities of Enugu-Awka-Nnewi-Onitsha-Aba and the economic activities within them doesn't deserve a place to catch a plane within few hours of journey, instead of the risk travelling to Lagos, Abuja, Kano or PH just to catch a plane, just tell me and I will shut up.

And its funny that the same group of people that use every excuse to deny sitting any meaningful thing in Igboland will be the first to taunt them that they don't live in their homeland, when they will use every trick in the world to deny them what makes people to settle in an area.

Why are we even debating the intent behind the reversal?
Nigeria, one funny country sef! However, all these convince me that the death of that country is even nearer than I predicted.
Re: Fg Denies Granting Enugu Airport Int’l Status by Onlytruth(m): 10:36pm On Dec 03, 2009
If the reversal happens, more Igbos will be waking up to the reallity of their enslavement in Nigeria.

Thank U very much My brother.These Guyz are so hell bent on making sure they discredit whatever is due to SE.I realy hate to take the tribal rout anytime I argue with ppl,Let's talk with facts and the realities on ground.Most of the ppl arguing against anything igbo have probably never been in any of the states before,they just sit in their armchair and spew the usual myopic rantings without looking at facts.

Ordinarily,I would not ve bothered answering U coz U re more interested in punching holes in ppl's posts to back up Ur point but I will give U the benefits of the doubts to prove me wrong by giving me strong arguements .U ve not given any good reason why PH international airport and Enugu international airport can not exist side by side.This boils down to my earlier arguement,"fear of Competition"
And Yes you are correct,I am interested in seeing an international airport in igboland,that is not asking for too much.If U have nothing else to say besides punching holes to butress Ur Myopic stance then U ve no basis for Ur stance.

[size=18pt]Stating that the contractor has within one year to complete the expansion work, which would also involve expanding the width of the runway to 60 meters, the Minister said that in the next one year, Enugu airport would have become a brand new airport with new runways.[/size]

why in every thread that involves anything to do with the east, you are ALL over it, talking trash like usual.

things like this show me that he is really delusional.
he LOVES LOVES LOVES to put his nose in the east's business. there is nothing wrong with that, but when you always come to talk trash, THAT REALLY SAYS SOMETHING.
and on top of all of that, he mocks things like the Civil War that was very much real.
who laughs about people losing their lives? who laughs about a bloodbath? who seriously laughs and pokes fun at things like this?
what is he planning? is he hoping the igbos get crushed so he can then laugh and say something like "i told you so lol grin"
BURN, BURN!

if federal government upgrade enugu airport as planned, and people fit fly to enugu from lagos instead of disgracefully travelling for 24hours to enugu, that should be looked at as a step forward. ko kwa?


At least, you seemed capable of reading but comprehending is another task. There is no doubt that I made my intentions clear in my previous post about hatings in flying to Lagos or Abuja on my trips to Nigeria. My intention is to either fly to Enugu, Owerri, Uyo or Port Harcourt. I do not fly into Wash. DC, Philadelphia or New York in order to reach my final destination on my trip back to North America.

Re: Fg Denies Granting Enugu Airport Int’l Status by Onlytruth(m): 2:43am On Dec 05, 2009
My last exprience flying into Port Harcourt convinced me that it wouldn't hurt to fly into Enugu or even Asaba if possible. If I could fly into Enugu, chances are that I, and many others, will visit Nigeria more. The mere thought of landing in Lagos or Abuja, and then driving hundreds of kilometers to the east keeps alot of Nigerians abroad. Nigeria is losing money but who cares? Igbos must be kept down by all means!

Re: Fg Denies Granting Enugu Airport Int’l Status by okunoba(m): 6:15am On Dec 05, 2009
I have to say it`s a disgrace the south east doesn`t have an international airport, the Igbo leaders have to do something about that.

There is no other ethnic group in the whole of Nigeria that travels outside of the country more than the people of the south east and yet they do not have an Airport to serve their needs, to me it smells of ethnic discrimination. The Yoruba`s who travel out side of Nigeria as much as the Igbo`s, have Lagos Airport and the Hausa`s and in deed the whole north who travel outside of Nigeria the least have Abuja and Kano Airport, even the minorities from the south south that don`t travel out that much have PH Airport. Y not the Igbo`s that travel out the most? That can`t be fair. I am not sure if Enugu deserves an international Airport, but there is no doubt the South East needs one, it`s not only faire but makes economic sense.

What is the problem with the SE wanting an International Airport? We should learn to fight 4 what is right regardless of ethnicity. Lets heal the pain and build trust.

U make sense,that day I go kill turkey for U.Education is being wasted on U,U don't deserve it.U should be in the streets doing drugs U will fit better there rather than trying so hard to count amongst scholars and making a mockery of the whole thing.Just quit sch coz your brain obviously did not grow with your shoe size.
If U ve noticed,U will see that every intelligent student and contributor here ve deliberately ignored Ur postings.Even Amaka has come to Understand why I always put Ur lame ass on fire,she now sees U for who U re,A piece of shit.Am sure hitherto she had not seen U in the politics section where U spew Ur vomits all over the place because U re incapable of any seriouse intelligent debate,Ooops!!

Forget tribalism,survey has shown that southeast is the most neglected region by north dominated federal government.They wont allow enugu airport to international status,dredging of river niger which obasanjo promise the region,checkout the poor state of federal roads,the poor state of nigeria s first president nnamdi azikiwe home because he was not corrupt, they wont recognize imo,abia,including anam region in anambra which obasanjo called national reserve as oil producing states,and so many injustice.

all this talk about passenger traffic is premature for an international airport that hasn't operated for up to one month...
