Bekool:




Oga this are real donations from imo people i personally remembered when my late dad donated #100 for this airport project back then. I dont know if there is any video records of the fund raising ceremony the op could have also posted it here for doubting people like u.

Ibos invented text editor and used it ahead of the world. This 1983 document was typed in the legacy editor first used on a computer invented during biafran war.

Abeg, give my in-laws some slack.

GavelSlam:


You people are kids.

Most Nigerians had never seen two thousand Naira in cash as at 1984.

Not to talk of 50 thousand Naira.

Remember, this was supposed to be the period the "tyrant" Buhari was ruling.

ArcFresky:


Stop blowing your trumpet, historically traders were usually from the north or the south west.

Check history, successful traders usually originated from the north and west.

It was china and the allure of cheap standard goods that brought aboug Igbo prosperity in trading.

It was also the Igbos that introduced counterfeit goods
Used car importation
Spare parts
Substandard drugs or posions

Oil only brought easy money. Since there was no easy money for the south westerners, all they had was trade or die in poverty.

Mods abeg remove this fake record from front page.

This is not official record for the airport. It is unauthenticated. Official record from FAAN, airport authority, differs from this individually sourced and uncertified claim by OP.

I attach official record below. Follow link for additional clarity.

Im asking that this thread is deleted.

This also go to show your the subtle lies peddle by Igbo playing victim after the war. Yes there was destruction but Awo also effectively oversea the rehabilitation and rebuilding. The 20 pound myth was a product of failed bargain that affected some but not all biafra citizen. Those who have money in Nigerian bank with proof got their money back. The 20 pound policy was implemented to take care of those who came back with biafra currency, the source of which could not be ascertained. How do you excuse people who stole and printed illegal note during the war and came back requesting it to be exchanged with Nigerian currency.

yinkus6750:
That was when real citizens were concerned about the well being of the people.
Not selfish purpose as it's obtainable now.
And now everyone waits for government for everything.

You lack history. Honestly Nigeria is high on illiteracy
If you couldn't read up Jaja of Opobo and his economic tussle with the British in Palm oil business then you obviously know nothing
Bros Jaja Opobo fought the British attempt at business monopoly in the oil palm business
This Jaja, read up his origin then come back for argument
The father of Odumegwu Ojukwu owned the only Rolls Royce in Nigeria then which the Nigerian govt borrowed to host the Queen of England back then
Bros, leave Igbos & trade oooo and even some few other things.
Bros, every good/bad thing in Nigeria today usually come from Lagos
If Igbos started 2nd hand, how come "Tokunbo" a Yoruba word is used for these
What is "Oluwole" known for? Forgery of documents
Abi you no know?
Bros, just keep.quiet ooo
Where did bend down select start from? These are bells from Cotonou, who imports them? Ask Ogun & Lagos border town indigenes, till date they still eat 2nd hand turkey n co

Cherez:

JESUS of NAZARETH
Bros my own dad built a a 3-storey building in 1982 and same year bought a brand new Peugeot 505 for my mum (an undergraduate at UNN then), Peugeot 505 salon for my uncle & a Peugeot 504 station wagon for his business then all in one year.
Bros, some of you guys just argue blindly here, I give up really

Jaja of opobo was truly an IBO slave who bought his freedom.He was a good trader.Also Ojukwu'father..lobatan..the End.Who else do you have who was prominent in Biz?

The real bizness people have always been the Yorubas and Hausas.
Yorubas have had as bizness people, men and women of calibre like Madam Tinubu,Iyalode etc.
Esan Darocha and his son who was the first richest African,Odutola,Sir Mobolaji Bank Anthony etc.

Igbo's must be respected.

They are great people, just like the air they rose despite Nigerians trying to put them down.

The most annoying part are those leeches who have nothing but get everything.

FYI Madam Tinubu was a notable slave trader.

omenka:
The mod that moved this crap to the fp needs to be sanctioned honestly. That trashy document could even have been made TODAY!

Just look at the font. Yet someone believe it came from 83. Haba!

horsepower102:
I have been saying that if we igbos can come together and contribute money, we can build all the major infrastructures that Nigerian Government is denying us.

Op thanks for this thread.

Who/what are they denying you of?

Bile, hate and intolerance can never make a man progress in life.
Change!

gwafaeziokwu:


Confirmed illiterates. And they will be forming woke on Nairaland.

Do you know what a Typewriter Typeface is? Do you know that these typefaces are manufactured with different fonts and could be changed depending on what font one wants to use for a particular purpose? I know you and your generation are used to only one typeface font. Well you simply could not afford the one with alternative typefaces, but those men up there who could donate #50k as at 1983 sure did.

Below is a typical example of some fonts available for typewriters as early as 1962. Read!Read!!Read!!!

omenka:
Typical ipod liar!! Show us by circling exactly which of those fonts in your own picture matches that of the letter.

See who's calling others illiterate.

Your hunchbacked supreme leader is so ashamed of you he's giving you the middle finger.

Cherez:

Bros you could be right but you see these words "REHABILITATION & REBUILDING", remove them from those words you said there "Yes there was destruction but Awo also effectively oversea the rehabilitation and rebuilding. "
There's absolutely nothing like rebuilding nor rehabilitation by the Nigerian govt then
I'm.not saying it was the responsibility of the FG then either

omenka:
Grandest lie ever told by ipods to caress their ego! How could such fine print on MS Word be in existence in Nigeria in 1983? Was that font style even available then?

These people, make una lie small small naw. Haba!! Look at the paper as well. How could anyone believe that sheet was from 83?

Only a fool will believe this crap.

AsabaPropertyAg:
I can see Arthur Eze's name on the list, this philanthropist has been doing good for over 3 decades.

My parents paid for this airport. Monies were deducted from their salary from source. Monies they agreed to donate

How are we sure these were donations to fund an airport? Where is the authenticity to prove this claim?
