Abagworo:
No region has 2 international Airports. Nigeria has only 2 functional international Airports in Lagos and Abuja with Port Harcourt, Kano and Enugu having marginal international flights. Let us not act on hearsay based on sentiments.

I have never heard any FG official since I was born up till now I'm in my thirties say that they deliberately don't want to build Airports in Southeast or elsewhhere. Over the years the world has become a global village and Igbos have dispersed making Igboland a likely air hub based on the fact that we like travelling home. Imo Airport has risen past Kano to become the 4th busiest Airport in Nigeria and is still rising. Enugu Airport is also gradually rising in international flights and with support of Igbos might surpass Kano and Port Harcourt in a short while. Let us support FG continue with improvement in infrastructure.

The Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has
thanked President Buhari for approving the much awaited
upgrade of Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport to
make it operational to its prescribed status.
Governor Okorocha made this commendation last Tuesday
evening when the Permanent Secretary of Federal Ministry
of Aviation, Hajia Binta Bello visited Imo airport for facility
tour in preparation to upgrading Sam Mbakwe International
Cargo airport to its supposed status and to make it
operational by middle of 2016.
Welcoming Hajia Bello to Imo State for facility tour, fact
finding and onward kick off of work at the airport, Governor
Okorocha assured her of Imo government preparedness to
play whatever role as commitment towards realizing the
real status of the airport.
The number one citizen of Imo State revealed that he had
appealed to President Buhari to approve the upgrade with a
view to increasing business and employment opportunities
in Imo State and its neighbouring States of South-East and
South-South in general.
Also speaking, the Deputy Governor of Imo State, Prince Eze
Madumere while fielding questions from the newsmen, he
praised his boss, Governor Okorocha for his vision and
seeking President Buhari’s approval, he enumerated the
gains as increased business opportunities in the area of
commerce and establishment of service firms, reduction of
risk level in transportation of goods, reduction of the cost of
providing goods and services and many more he mentioned.

calabar, yola, katsina, sokoto, kaduna, Ilorin, Minna and Maiduguri are all international airports for a long time while there was none in the entire SE, Enugu has taken over all of them immdiately after being upgraded. see proof

when will APC start telling us what they have achieved and not what Jonathan caused?

WIZGUY69:
I don't know how some people think? You want to leave a forum of 1.5m members and you are advertising and announcing like you are a SOMEBODY or a popular individual. we have so many emotional morons on nairaland. maybe they want people to start begging like its a sort of 2go room. if 1000 goats deactivate their account without announcing, nobody will notice and it won't stop nairaland from being the largest discussion forum. bunch of emotional tout that take internet activities serious like their lives depended on it. TO ALL THOSE MAKING VOW NEVER TO VISIT NAIRALAND AGAIN. VISIT IT AGAIN, AND IT SHALL NOT BE WELL WITH YOU.
DALU

pride goes before a fall, its not about members its about actual visitors. when these guys working on alternative forum gets it right, nairaland can enjoy its ghost 1.5 million members

the pro biafrans are also notherners . All the kidnappers and armed robbers. They all are notherners

Pro biafrans are not violent, when APC sponsored miscreants wanted to introduce violence to their protest, they suspended the protests

JingoOAU:
While you are entitled to your idiotic comments, be well guided that the bulk of the money used to built OAU was from Cocoa. In your warped idiotic sentiment, you think like a rusted he-goat without any direction and focus

I graduated from OAU and I can say it boldly that OAU products either before or now, can still compete with any university in Nigeria.

The problem OAU have been facing is poor management which started from Omole in the 90s even up to this present Tale Omole. They are all rogues, politicians, and thieves. I went to OAU last month and I couldn't but wonder if I truly passed through OAU because the school is experiencing the worst scenario of poor infrastructural decay, yet, the VC, I heard, is buying over 30million naira Jeep for his wife(though, the current VC was my lecturer then in the dept of International relations),yet, he called himself a Pastor

Most of the first generation universities in Nigeria are living on past glory and I think it's time the alumni of these great institutions step in to cushion the effect of poor funding and management

The insults are not necessary. Ife is a beautiful campus with great structures but that started in the 70s when awolowo stole money to upgrade it. to sustain what they got, they have to open their eyes to reality, nothing is freee anymore, they better start paying or they will go down. The Ife built with cocoa money in the 60s was a glorified secondary school until awolowo stole money to in the 70s. Through out its glorious days Ife boast of beautifull campus, when it comes to quality of staff and achivements of alumni, the other first generation universities are ahead of them

Ife became great in the 70s when Awolowo stole money to upgrade it. it was a glorified secondary school in the 60s when UI, ABU and UNN held sway. In the long run, it will go down cos stolen money cant give sustainable development, if it cant generate money to sustain itself, it will go down. the era of free education funded with stolen money is over, let the students pay to sustain what is on ground.

No religion is greater than Nigeria. Why stop and harrass the convoy of a who army chief.
This Shiite sh!t people should mind themselves or pack up and go to Iran.
Religion of Peace my foot. Na only una dey this world.

since they are unarmed they should have been arrested, not killed

Iroh88:
Splitting the country isn't the solution. Education and job creation/employment would remedy most of these problems.

I say this because even within the same ethnic groups, a people from a particular enclave are seen to be of lower caste than others- an ingredient for discontent, prejudice and ultimately the problems we witness in the larger society today.

u can not achieve a perfect society, but the differences will be better managed if its split. countries are mainly formed by historical,cultural and lingual ties and similarities, Europe has been continuously bakanized until the 90's for this reason, now they are enjoying a lasting peace

dammytosh:
Did u see me on the street ?Nigerians and assumptions.

For the records, I advocated for complete removal of subsidy.

I saw u

dammytosh:
We will endure as long as we present a better Nigeria to the next generation.

I will rather queue than watch all our future paid to oil marketers in the name of subsidy.

I will be watchful than allow one Dansuki collect all our children's school fees in the name of providing sharp sharp solution to Boko Haram.

so why did u take to the streets in January 2012??

Where are yorubas, if its biafra they will carry it on their head. these ppl are armed and engage the army in a shoot out yet their leader is sitting in his house.

Just imagine the incoherent thrash. Yorubas are turning to empty vessels

Biafra was discussed at OAU convocation and some one is saying it should not be discussed on Nairaland? If u use hate words on Biafra, Biafra supporters will respond with double hate. if u change the rules on Nairaland to have freedom to insult biafra and go free, will u also ban biafra on facebook and twitter, or OAU covocation? or vanguard, BBC Punch etc??

wiseoneking:
Vc Nsukka? You well at all.

NSUK = Nassarawa State University, Keffi. Not Nsukka

StOla:
I hope those who thought it was Patrick Ubah's own Capital Oil and then concluded that it was a deliberate Northern attack against Ndigbo businesses, can now come out with shame to apologize?

Even when Folawiyo and Sahara owned by Tonye Cole were also included in the report, some just had to make the story about their irritating tribal victim complex.

See the clansmen below from the other thread. Ever ready to make any action by government an anti-igbo agenda.





One even tried to pretend that the other companies indicted (Sahara and Folawiyo) were non-entities.





Then somebody with a working brain had this to reply them.




Only God can heal the Igbo mindset.

Lol, u will not see the posts attacking igbos, will u change the rule again to have ur way the way u did on biafra issue, so that u can attack freeely while igbos are banned for defending themselves?? yeye
That omoelesa u quoted is not an igbo man, he was the first pesn to bring igbos into the issue with his sarcasm which most of u failed to grab including aperture11 that quoted him. U should apologize here for taking a yoruba sarcastic bashing on igbos as igbo mindset, u are the one without a working brain here, both u and the aperture11 guy u want to use as an example of peson with working brain are all brain dead for failing to see the first sarcastic attack on igbos and taking it literally

if he joins APC he becomes a saint.

we will soon go on a borrowing spree like ogun state where this woman come from

Capital oil petroleum is different from capital oil and gas. Ifeanyi Uba's company is Capital oil and gas not Capital oil petroleum. both company's are not related in any way
