Ozu pretending to be who he is not.

Hey I don't know who you are but this word you typed will follow you for the rest of your life. Don't take my word for it. Just watch your life henceforth.

Obi1kenobi:


Your "typo" made your sentence grammatically incorrect, so those are not mutually exclusive concepts. So everytime you want to chest-beat about your intellect, it's a very good idea not to make yourself look even more of a half-wit than you already do with poor grammar.
Again, the writer does not have to write an essay specifically on Anambra for it to apply to this thread. He's a Yoruba man whose critique was obviously more focused on South West states than other regions. This is like problem-solving algorithms. The input variables and datasets may change, but the solutions to a particular category of problems would be solved by applying the same algorithm. For some reason, you're too much of a half-wit to understand this elementary concept. The writer and other interviewed stakeholders made it clear that only Lagos and Abuja international airports are viable (with Port Harcourt not too far behind) while the rest are just liabilities draining tax-payer resources and that existing airports should be consolidated upon rather than licensing new ones built by other states. This is obviously relevant to Anambra to anybody who has Primary School level English comprehension. Are you really such a window-licking dunce that you can't understand how it applies? Hilarious.



No, your ranting is not productive cos you're a nonentity on the internet. Obiano didn't tell you he's building an airport because he listened to internet nonentities ranting about airport. I don't really care if you don't want to hear what I have to say about the airport. Uncouth riffraff on Nairaland don't determine what I choose to comment on.

But you already dabbled into comparing Ogun and Anambra because your ego as a primitive Anambra supremacist was hurt by my pointing out that Ogun - which doesn't need an airport - will comparatively need one more than Anambra, which made you start denigrating Ogun and you're now running from it after your attempt to denigrate Ogun was given short shrift.

If you're are not stupid go and study recent GDP, to know why Anambra has larger economy than Ogun, services contributes more to Nigeria's economy more than industrial sector, Anambra is one of the leading states in services, Ogun state is two states below Anambra state in economy, Anambra is commercial hub and doing credibly well in industrial and agro sector, Ogun is far below Anambra in commerce, Anambra has more population than Ogun, Anambra commercial sector absorb unemployed than Ogun, recent data clearly show Anambra rank lowest in unemployment index and low in poverty index, in Ogun outside areas that share boundaries with Lagos, the state is backward, Anambra is second most densely populated state after Lagos.

VicThory:

Bro no be so. You're saying another thing entirely different from what they guy is saying. You're proving him right

Afam4eva:
I ask again, how close is that Anambra Cargo Airport to Onitsha. I hope it's very close. We Igbos need to do away with our clannish attitude and begin to think big. We need to built great cities and to do that, if possible, that Airport should be renamed Onitsha International Airport and all the areas between current Onitsha area to the airport should be grouped under Onitsha metropolitan area. We need to expand Onitsha beyond it's original limits in order to compete favourably.

AsomughaChuks02:


The Airport will be known as Chief Willie Obiano International Airport Umueri via Aguleri. All towns in Anambra are independent of each other. Onitsha is already great and known. Other towns need to be great too.

deomelo:




lmao @ sign board airport..

Even roadside uncompleted abandoned building is development.

Only in anambra village.

ECOB:
Obi1kenobi, funny thing about your argument about Anambra having a small landmass and hence doesn't need an airport but in support of Lagos in having 3 airports, shows that either you are naive, ignorant or completely envious of the Governor's achievement, cos its clearly you don't know that Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria in terms of landmass and yet you prefer Lagos to have 3 airports while Anambra that is bigger than Lagos have non. in population Lagos as a whole has an estimated population of 15million coming first in Africa, while Onitsha alone not the whole of Anambra is 7million coming 7th in the whole of Africa. and the latest statistic on FDI shows that Only 7 states attracted FDI, which Anambra is among, not even Enugu, nor Delta, nor Imo attracted such investment, doesn't that point to one thing?
Your argument is baseless!!

Yyeske:
Nna the hot money flowing into Anambra especially in real estate should be controlled, don't want a situation where say in 20 years time, the whole state will become a city like Lagos. The state government should have and plan for forest reserves.
I was on my way to Azia weeks ago for a function and couldn't believe a large junk of Oba is now what it is now. 4,5,6 storey buildings everywhere

Obi1kenobi:

GDP is a very hard statistic to measure and includes a lot of projections - especially the services sector which is mostly informal, unlike the organized private sector. If NBS had put Ogun above Anambra, your type would still be the same to cry Yoruba bias. By measurable indices, Ogun, which is basically Lagos extension, is a more vibrant economy than Anambra - which is why it generates far higher IGR than Anambra. I also doubt Anambra has a bigger population than Ogun. Anambra's tiny landmass gives people the illusion that it is more populated than it actually is due to the population density, but if you look at statistics like Nigerian Communication Commission stats for number of active voice lines and data subscribers, Anambra does not even make Nigeria's top 10 and ranks far behind states like Ogun, Oyo, Rivers etc and even ranks behind states like Edo and our neighbors, Delta:

Nigeria has not done any census in over 14 years and we do not have accurate demographic data. Whether you claim Ogun is backward outside boundary towns with Lagos is irrelevant. The fact is that those boundary towns with Lagos are still part of Ogun and Ogun collects taxes from the industries and residents there. And it is not even a true statement. I've been to Abeokuta and other than perhaps Onitsha it's comfortably more developed than any part of Anambra.

You rushed to report me to the mods after giving you a well deserved insult.. And to know we both traded insults and you were not banned and yet you continue constituting nuisance here..

Like I told you I dont want to derail this thread by comparing Anambra and Ogun but since you want to move mad.. Here's Labour force stats released last year by NBS. As you can see Anambra has more labour force than Ogun and yet Anambra still has more employed than Ogun.. This should be enough to shut you up if you have any sense...
