Which Adada state bikonu?

Who is feeding you guys all these lies and illusions.

Please if you guys need new state just divide Enugu state into two equal parts......afterall dem get land mass.

Case closed.


Though ugwuanyi is trying, Enugu looks like 1959 when the colonial masters was still around.

If you have never lived in Enugu, you should learn from those who have

spyder880:
I love this state, and the towns that make up the state. I dont know if I will ever like to live anywhere else but Enugu, the way of life of the citizens of Enugu seems to be the best in the country.

Enugu people are very accomodating, hardworking and yet humble. We have everything here and yes, Enugu is working.

In this thread, I will try to change the perception of people about how bad or negative Nigeria is, lets start from where we are. I expect everyone to do something, lets stop the negativity for a while and focus on our positives. There are more good things in Nigeria than bad. You only need to look for it and see it.

I will flood this thread with so many pictures that people will complain, I have about 150 pictures loaded (more will be added this new week), I am ready to paste them here but I will post those in the evening, many towns were covered, many of our landmarks are here. The good, the moderately good and the terrible.

But let me just be posting and typing words for now, explaining some facts about Enugu.

PDPGuy:
The aviation is now saying the airport will be reopened before Easter...

PDPGuy:
The runway portion of the Enugu airport rehabilitation will cost N8.5 billion. The remaining N1.5 billion will be used for other works

Whopping N8.5 billion just to resurface a 3KM runway?

Enugu airport runway is the shortest international airport runway in Nigeria, yet it is currently the MOST EXPENSIVE!

What they are currently doing is merely resurfacing of the old runway. They scrape off the old tar and lay a new one. They are not re-doing the concrete base of the runway nor completing the abandoned taxiway! Yet, they will steal N8.5 billion for it!
How much did the 4 KM Abuja airport runway cost?

EFCC will still revisit how N10 billion naira tax-payers money was stolen in the purported Enugu International airport re-branding.

Julius Berger is a very expensive contractor.

It is PW that is handling the project

The only thing that keeps enugu alive is the student/youth population, the state is filled with old civil servants with rickety vehicles. Enugu is usually boring whenever the students are on vacation. Owerri is the place to be men. . .

PDPGuy:
Minister Sirika says the ILS (Category 2) and DME (Distance Measuring Equipment) are almost ready. The airport is on track to reopen before Easter.

ChimaAgbalajob:


The Minister and the FAAN boss Capt. Rabiu Yadudu are no longer speaking of the runway elongation from 3KM to 3.5KM to accomodate landing of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet etc, that they gave as reason for inevitable closure for a long period.

So let me ask, did they close the airport for almost 6 months now just to resurface the runway and install Instrument Landing System (ILS) & (DME) at Enugu Airport ?---- and this is what N8.5 Billion naira would be used for?

ChimaAdeoye:


Oga m,

You are right about creating parks. My take on this is that it's not a bad thing if we re-conceptualize Enugu as new emerging mega city with new borders stretching from 9th mile to Esut junction on PH expressway. If you imagine a bigger city, then you can insert huge public parks within this land space and it will very well serve the city.

Although we fail to see that the city is developing from all it's fringes and not planning, it does not stop the ongoing expansion of the city anyways. Not too long ago, we didn't consider Abakpa, Emene or Independence Layout Phase II as part of Enugu. Today, it is clear that those areas are well within the larger Enugu metropolis. So, we can continue thinking of Enugu an starting from New Haven to Asata and killing ourselves with the headache of how to fit everything within there, it doesn't stop the reality that today's Enugu now stretches from Emene to Ituku ozalla.

Ugwuany building a pedestrian flyover in ogbete road, I really doubt this is necessary

Jasparrow1:
It won't still change the fact that ENUGU as a whole is a glorified ZOO. A complete shitthol ;

Rgade:

Does ugwanyi have sense?
That's the fly over he should have built.
