Allah grant her peace

EzeUche:
Wealthy Nigerians believe traveling out of Nigeria is a sign of their wealth.

Unfortunately, some people in my family is of this opinion.

yes that is correct

Mariory:
I am going to try to break it down for you cause I sense this thread is going off course.

Tinapa = Business resort targeted at [size=14pt]wealthy Nigerians[/size].

Why do you keep talking about an international airport and why are Customs refusing to allow Tinapa businesses to use the Sea Port?

and how many wealthy nigerians do we have ?

i thought tinapa is a form of tourism place in which people can come and spend there money thus generating revenun for the state

if it is only for "wealthy nigerian" then they are not looking to generate proper reveenu then, i mean with the money invested in such a project yet it is only for the "few" wealthy nigerians

it means the state is not serious

kcjazz:
@Alj Harem

I don't think building an International Airport is the issue, especially since the Margeret Ekpo airport is still open. However, I think a cheaper means of moving people to this location is needed, maybe a small air shuttle business, quick, safe and faster one day movements.


I still wonder why they have not made any movies here, if indeed it is a world class studio?

Still believe $450 is too much for a 10,000 sq meter space and based on the State's income they should have built in phases of $100 million. Biggest mall in America, is 320,000 sq and cost $650 million even with inflation rates, Tinapa still exorbitant per sq meter

Bottomline, they have a marketing problem, Calabar is beautiful but this guys have no clue what to do with it. There is a market but they must change focus in line with new realities.

now someone is thinking

i know calabar is a beautiful city because i have been there around the 1993 or so

and that is way silverbird invested in lagos first so has to genenrate capital for abuja and now its going to port harcount

u have to get a good location or good transportion so people can go to ur mall, shop conviantly without stress and spend there money there.

no one whats to go throught stress before spending there money

Mariory:
Seriously alj_harem, what are you blabbing about? Of what use is another Federal airport going to be when the Federal seaport is off limits to the businesses that will bring in the people for shopping.

fedral seaport will not bring people for shopping

shipments of goods from 1 part of the country to another will not affect the rate of contumers to a particular area

if the location is conducive then demand will always exceed supply

calabar is not conducive for people from all other walks of life to go just for "tinapa"

there are convient way for people to go in there and that is even why it has not recived good investment from private firms because they see this underlaying problem

Mariory:
And what about Port-Harcourt airport? What do you have to say to that?

port harcount airport are one of the airports i am saying they are not valuable

we have int airports in the country like amiun kano airport

minna airport

port harcount airport

all this are international airports and have licensed international fight but if u are BA , would u go to such airport knowing full well that it is not everytime ur plan would be full thus u are losing and that is why i said they are not valuable

we have 2 most valuable airports in  nigeria which are the nnamdi int airport in abuja and the muritala airport in lagos

now outside this 2 int airport, it is a no brainer to leave this 2 and go for less valuable ones







port harount airport is mostly used by oil companies and even thos one "usually" use private jets or helicopter to transport there staffs a from lagos or abuja

and that is why u do not see even eastern busniess men flying stright to port haroucnt

they always past throught lagos or abuja and then take a local plane to the east and same goes for calabar

if tinapa is to work in calabar, the fg needs to buld an international airport so people from all walks of life be it nigerians or not can go visit the place

if innoson cars is to leave the york of a few million every year, they need to do something to convince nigerians why we should drop our honda and toyota and go for innoson cars

talk a look at globacom, before its arrival, we had mtn(south african company)

globacom reduced the tariff of its calls so as to competite with mtn

globacom frist introduced black berry to nigeria

etc

things like this will uncauously move nigerian towards globacom which now is an africa gaint in telecom

so u see no reason in the post u quoted

pleep:
Innoson is not anymore dangerous than the Indian & chinese cars sold in the country. Keep in mind innosson is just a manufactorer of s- korean technology 

i know innoson has a lot of potential and i really wish the governoment and nigerians can invest in this nigeria company

but the reality is that, THERE IS NO HEALTH AND SAFETY officers in nigeria relaible enough to check innoson cars

now, that is where jonathan has to come in to change his fleets of cars to innoson so as to encourage nigerians to patroism them by buying there cars and droping toyota etc

people in nigeria are scared of driving some innoson car, that is the reality

pleep:
@ alj harem What does an int airpoint have to do with anything? C-river already has a state airport at it was mentioned by the director of the project that tinnapa is intended for wealthy nigerians, not foreign travelers.

Pleep, a state airport is not enough for tourist places tinapa

take a look at countries that have big projects or tourist places, it is always done in there capital or cities with int airport before they can reap the full potential of there investment ( in this case tourism )

france - paris- disney world

england- london - millioum tower, eye of london

etc

you see my friend, int- airport has a lot to do with toruiom and making the best from projects like tinapa

take a look at 6 flags in phladepha usa, it is close to new york and thus they can make money of it

now tell me, is it some one that is in abuja, sokoto, niger, kwara, warri etc that will get a 15000 naira plane to calabar just for tinapa ( which is more or less like a shopping mall)

would u do that when u can go to a near by market

or would u do that after u landed in abuja or lagos

akigbemaru u are an iddeiot,

EzeUche:
The North is the biggest problem for the progressive South.

They will continue to hold us back.

keep blaming the north for everything

or do we have tinapa in the north now,

how many int airport do we have in the north that is valuable to airliners

how many poor northerners would go to tinapa even if it is built in sokoto

[quote author=alex_101 link=topic=703197.msg8626488#msg8626488 date=1309485502]If after all these years (97yrs after 1914 amalgamation) folks are still wondering why projects like this don't work out positively, then I must say good morning to everybody. Has electricity worked? Has good road happened? Has cooruption been reduced to the bearest minimum? Has tribalism, the greatest of all evil hindering the dungeon called nigeria stopped?

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that "one-nigeria" and positive things like tinapa don't mix . Infact, that is why folks like me have been clamouring for Innonso Motors to set up branches in business friendly countries in Africa.[/quote]bros, u are very stu.pid for u statement

why not go to nigeria and buy innoson car and be driving urself, u can not force people to buy a car from a company we do not trust its safety regulation because innonso is a nigeria made company

just because certain places have license to int airport does not mean it would be a full int airport

so people we have more int airport in nigeria but we only have 2-3 valuable ones in nigeria

the sooner we stop this "something should go to the east or west or north" the sooner we can move forward

EzeUche:
Look at this thread derailer above me.

He doesn't even know what he is talking about. The man probably has never been East of the River Niger.

u make me laugh, please tell me about the precious east

rubbish,

jonathan, i think u should be more worried about the bombings in the country and not clark

just arrest clark for treason would do just fine, clark said he hates a particular group in the country and i think he should have been arrested all this days for such a statement

Mariory:
Yeah that's what I was referring to when I said "the Federals killed it". I had such high hopes for Tinapa too. Tinapa could have vastly expanded tourism income for Cross River/Nigeria. *Sigh*

the fg did not kill anything

tinapa killed itself

EzeUche:
The FG is the MAIN problem.

It is very sad, because this region has a lot of potential.

Nigeria is messed up. Sabotaging there own local economy.

uche please stop commenting on things u are not sure about, because this is ignorance here

@topic

tinapa has been a failed project from the start because of the lack of int airport

now tell me, who would like to land in lagos or abuja and then take a long jonery to calabar just because of tinapa

i know some would be asking why the fg did not build an int airport in calabar then

but really, it is a no brainer to do so

an int airport in calabar is a valuable because how many people from that region travel to usa, malawi, china everyday

look at minna int airport, it is died

tinapa would have been a sucess if it was built in lagos, abuja, ogun,maybe warri and lastly but relutantly port harcount

anywhere apart from this areas is just waste of money, really

i am talking from an ojective point of view

buhari, God bless u

I won't mind Cheap Ladies too if they have a very large expanse of land at Bakassi Peninsula

it like u are tribalism it's self

ever post is tribalistic, u no dey tire

i like the beauty and honesty of hausa and fulani

i love the yoruba for there calm nature

what do we need walmart for in nigeria and pls no one should tell me about job creation

op i agree with ur topic

nigeria is a disgrace

kalokalo:
The OP failed to mention that Palm Oil is produced in industrial plantations by multinational and local corporations in Indonesia and Malaysia. How can you compare that to subsistence one man oil-palm farms in Nigeria? How can subsistence farming with primitive methods compete with industrial agriculture? In quality, price and packaging?

Are Nigerian companies willing to go into large scale industrial oil palm production? No but we prefer buying and selling! Anything with quick turnover. We are too impatient to invest in long gestation ventures. Companies like Nestle, Kraft etc have subsidiaries that  produce palm-oil and cocoa in Malaysia.

Left to Nigerians, they prefer the government set up state owned / run farms that will be BOUND TO FAIL. Farming in Malaysia and Indonesia is done by giant companies.

dude, have u heard of Obasanjo farm

do u know the amount of tonnes that farm produce from palm oil alone

just type on google, obasanjo farm

or obasanjo farm in calabar

awolowo also have a palm oil plantaintation in his uni, so i think it as a lot to do with the FG investing in their potential and not any induatial farming

[quote author=EzeUche! link=topic=701501.msg8610909#msg8610909 date=1309294878]1. I do not come from a family of farmers, but I see nothing wrong with the profession. Farmers are needed in every society. I wouldn't mind owning an oil palm plantation or two.

2. The most lucrative land for palm oil plantations has always been Igboland. The Ijaws were just middlemen when it came to the trade, but the Igbo hinterland was once the largest source of oil palm.[/quote]1. that is a very good ideology

2.yeah whether igbo or ijaw or yoruba land, it does not matter. all we want is a good country

even parts of "igboland" the oil company(thanks to FG) have destroyed this lands and it pains me i won't lie

if those governors can do it, it would really be great, SE  is a money bank waiting to be exploded

even u uche, u can finish from USA and come back to nigeria and build something like this , this would be great

it would make employment for nigerians be it yoruba ijaw, hausa etc

Nigeria FG is mess up, i tell u

op

u are an ideeiot, so when did u become an expert in yoruba business

later u will shout trialsim

op

shattap dai

nigeria can not be the largest producer of palm oil because of 2 things

1. it is graduates like u that hate anythig farming, no one what to be a farmer because it is associated with poverty

2. the most lucrative lands from palmoil plantation is been destroyed by crude oil companies and ijaw mend rubbish

op

nairaland is not a relection of nigeria

in nigeria, we do not expercience such tribalsim
