They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by PapaBrowne(m): 12:35pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
I've been flying through Nigerian airports since 1999 and every time I pass, I wonder at our leadership because that is one eyesore that they get to use on a regular basis!! They don't ply our roads so they don't experience the mess, they have generators so they don't know NEPA, They have the best security, so they can't be worried about armed robbery. If they fall sick, they treat in the best hospitals worldwide. But the airports, they get to use them everyday. So I couldn't understand why on earth they had no interest in fixing it. Anyways, at last, there is massive remodeling going on at the airports. Landed Murtala Mohammed on Thursday and was happy to see intense works going on. Then got to the Benin Airport and found that it was a remodeling galore!! I was glad and hopeful that finally there is improvement!! Anybody with pictures of the renovations should please post here. I hear the remodeling is taking place in 11 airports across the country |

I am certain you have the pictures of the so called renovation. Why don't you just post them and drop the act? |

They closed Enugu airport last year due to renovations. Now, they are going to close it upper week for more renovations. So sad. Btw, as at February, they had started the renovations. |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by Demdem(m): 2:26pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
the retardeen didnt promise us renovation of Airports On March 17th 2011, in Dutse, the Jigawa state capital, the retardeen promised : "if i win the the election, within my four years in office, i will establish domestic airports in all the states without airports". I trust the retardeen will fullfil his promise. All hope isnt lost. |

What does renovation of roads connote in Nigeria? Blocking a pothole to create another, hmmnn this is what is happening on our roads and airports. Hope the toilets, and air-conditioners are also being renovated? |

I work in the airport. The tiles they are removing are far better than the new ones. All na in the name of awarding contract to chop. So many things are begging for attention in the Murtala Muhammed Airport, these looters will not fix them, they will only do the ones passengers will see. Have you ever experience a situation you checked in bags in good shape but when you receive your bag when you arrive, your bag is damaged. This is due to bad conveyor belt. If you go to the airside, you will weep for Nigeria. Things are terribly bad there. Think of the elevators, have you ever been trapped inside any of the lifts? If you get trapped inside any of these bad elevators, you will call your father your mother. Two years ago, 358 million was used to renovate the airport toilets but now they are renovating the same toilets for 3.5 million each. Then multiply it by the number of toilets. Just to chop. 5 billion was used to install CCTV round the airport but none of the CCTV is working. Three month ago, five member gang of armed robbers invaded the buereau de change at the car park of Murtala Muhamed Airport. They operated for twenty minutes, all the policemen ran away and the robbers went away with large sum of money in hard currency. Our CCTV did not capture the incidence. In short, the only thing our government is known for is WASTAGE. |

Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by auwal87(m): 10:15pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
Well we hope to see them completed soon. But! The problem in Nigeria is not actually creating things, but maintaining them! Most of the times when good things are created you give it a maximum of 5 years before it will become so dilapidated that you will think it is century old. They need to contract with reputable property management companies to manage and maintain the airports, cleaning, repairs, reconditioning, etc. Like many people say here, the toilets are the worst part of Nigerian airports, a lot of effort must be made to change the situation. Janitors must be well trained, well equipped, and disciplined, with good salary as well. Goodluck! |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by Bliss4Lyfe(f): 10:21pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
Renovating? Don't hold your breath. Those bus-stop u call airport needs to be demolished. |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by texazzpete(m): 10:49pm On Apr 03, 2012 |
Only in Nigeria will someone be jubilating at a lacklustre 'renovation' when thousands of passengers daily are fleeced of N1000 all in the name of FAAN charge. 99% of the so-called renovation is just expansion. most of the existing decaying infrastructure will be retained. Nigerians will continue to expect non-functional air conditioners and horribly cleaned toilets in our airports. |

Why all this pessimism. We are seeing for the first time something we've never seen in this country!! Even if they just spray paint the place, it surely does call for some kind of commendation. That there is work going on at all gives us a reason to smile!! We all hail Fashola, but if we must face the truth, Lagos is a huge mess and he has barely scratched the surface of a decay that runs deep within, but still we all know to commend the miniscule things he has done!! The same way we commend Fashola for the almost nothing he is doing, is the same way we should commend the FG for the little they are doing to provide us with better airports!! This pessimism will not lead us anywhere. Where there is good, we must commend, where there is bad, we must condemn. Its simple! |

The same Papabrowne of the spin and sell fame PapaBrowne: The same Papabrowne of the spin and sell fame. Actually spraying paint is what we have been used to in this country so nothing to celebrate there. How many times in the past have we seen contracts of road awarded but the contractor just dump to truck load of gravel on the road for the next 5 yrs. So according to you, we should celebrate that |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by ektbear: 1:29am On Apr 04, 2012 |
Papabrowne again? The propagandist? Didn't he lose his credibility earlier from the roads incident? |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by PapaBrowne(m): 2:03am On Apr 04, 2012 |
ekt_bear: Papabrowne again? The propagandist? Did he lose his credibility?? Naah!! He has been vindicated beyond measure!! Check. Linda Ikeji of BellaNaija fame has just done justice to that issue!! Again I repeat, the Benin Ore Road has been fixed! Check!! In the same vein, massive remodelling works are going on at the airports! In my opinion, thats improvement and I will celebrate!! |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by PapaBrowne(m): 2:12am On Apr 04, 2012 |
dayokanu: The same Papabrowne of the spin and sell fame Spin and spell is essential in marketing and Obama used it effectively on the American populace in 2008!! Would use it today, tomorrow and the day after. It is a tested and tried principle!! And it works perfectly on a populace that refuses to acquire adequate knowledge!! So if you don't wan't to be a victim, get knowledge, adequate one at that!! About the Airports, I know what you reference with regards to contractors abandoning projects. Trust me, this one looks different. They seem to mean business. The changes that have taken place between January and March are remarkable. You would know they mean business. It appears like things are changing in the country, albeit slowly!! |

Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by ektbear: 2:43am On Apr 04, 2012 |
Moreover, the larger issue is that you posted fake pictures claiming that it was fixed before it actually was, no? So that it later was fixed doesn't change your initial duplicity.. |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by Kilode1: 2:56am On Apr 04, 2012 |
PapaBrowne is a well known seer. Dude don't need no Linda to confirm his stories. He declared Benin-Ore Road fixed 11 months ago, even before the contractors arrived on site 36 months from now, they will start the renovation of the Airport, PapaBrowne is ahead of you all. He's in the future https://www.nairaland.com/644476/benin-ore-road-been-fixed |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by aljharem(m): 3:12am On Apr 04, 2012 |
Papabrown has started again. Ebuka just wrote an article on the state of the airport in Nigeria which he recently used and you are here lying Immediately I walked out of the immigration point into the baggage claim area, the stench hit me. For all I cared, I might as well have been standing right inside a giant diaper while I got peed on! I honestly do not remember the last time I smelt urine so bad. The smell seemed just a little more pungent everywhere I walked to. I decided to suck it up and stop being an ‘aje butter’; consoling that it would be over soon as our luggage arrived. |
Re: They Are Finally Renovating Our Airports!! by dayokanu(m): 3:16am On Apr 04, 2012 |
Papabrowne has no issues with lying, he calls it "spin and sell" He told us Benin Ore road was fixed before the contractor even got on site. Now he is telling us th Airport is fixed even before the contract was awarded |
