Vote wisely

kingbang: @Chino. This crowd is quite intimidating! . Wow! Nice one.

warrior01: Lol...What a small world

manny4life: Chino what you fail to understand is that an airport is a good idea but the question remain: IS IT VIABLE? Will the airport pay for itself? These are the questions that we need to ask. Airports make money from passengers as well landing fees and maybe a few royalties, so unless there's a huge patronage in hundreds of thousands of passengers at least, then Enugu is the best option for now. Enugu is close to Anambra, a moderate or even light rail into Nnewi and Onitsha will suffice.

rafindo: it is only in nigeria dat airport are built out of sentiment nd politics/onitsha metropolis has no land for such project.an airstrip with a funtional monorail systrm is better.no olympic size stadium yet,decent skyline nd good infrastructure.airport business is not groundnut or spare part trade.

obayaya: and maybe you should also make it compulsory for the business men to use that airport.. cos many of them still prefer enugu to asaba despite their varying distances. I still believe seaport should be our priority.

cargo planes can never bring in a lot of tonnage compared to ships.. my point being.. a seaport will attract investors faster than 5 airports

Ngwakwe: Bros, I have begged you to rest this issue.

Must you keep this thread trending to prove what I don't know.

Onyegecha: I must say that you are losing focus and derailing the thread by joining issues with those who want to distract you from the expository work you have on hand. There is no competition between Onitsha and Owerri. Each town is blessed in its unique way. This thread is about the deceit in the governance of Imo state, full stop.

Onyegecha: Inasmuch as i agree with you that we have been saddled with bad leadership for too long, i refuse to accept the sentiment that Imo state is cursed. Please don't say that abeg. Our people are blessed with a lot of talent and diligence. UDENWA WAS BAD NEWS. OHAKIM WAS EVEN MORE BAD NEWS. UNDER ROCHAS, BAD NEWS HAS ASSUMED A FEARFUL FACE. He is terrible news and Imo people must shine their eyes and elect a true leader in 2015

asha 80: you cannot be too sure about that....hear ifeanyi ubah is broke now and that is why his campaign has mellowed down in recent times,ngige still has support that cannot be waved off.

Onyegecha: Okorocha's bulldozers have been unchained once again. Hot Fm is threatened, the state library is marked for destruction(with no alternative location), Lifeline assembly is threatened while some targets have already been destroyed. You guys should look carefully before you leap into a burning fire. Juo anyi(ndi Imo) ajuju azu na anyi si Oru.

Abagworo: Onitsha urban area is same size as Owerri. I believe Owerri should be around 400k while Onitsha is around 500k but when you add the urban area around Onitsha then you'll get an excess of 1million. Owerri is bigger than Onitsha proper but is same size as Onitsha urban area which includes Okpoko, Nkpor and Obosi.

Abagworo: Its true that Anambra has highest population in Southeast but Onitsha is too tiny to contain 3million people. Even Port Harcourt that is about 10 times its size contains less than 2million.

Abagworo: You are a comedian. Where are the 3million people staying? Even Onitsha +Okpoko+Obosi+Nkpor is merely over 1million. Onitsha alone should be around 500k

Abagworo: But why are 99% of Anambra girls living there? About 1.5 million Anambra people live in Imo and Onitsha cannot be up to 800k.

Andre Uweh: What does it profit you to open threads such as this one here that either brings one Igbo state to another in a fight or one Igbo individual fighting his brother.
