What's wrong with these guys? if the relocation was done to ease transportation around the state, so be it. Your private investment should not constitute a nuisance.

u are right my brother but
hope u are not one of those supporting cowlony and street grazing of cows

maasoap:
Thank God, they are not in opposition party. How do we fight corruption and crimes in this country if you guys reduce everything to witch hunting? Are you telling me that these two people you mentioned are innocent? You will tag the next suspect an opposition member.

because the govt has an inkling that they want to defect, thats the reason for all this, u know dino has defected
its not about u or me saying its witch hunting. any reasonable person can see the hand writing on the wall, its too obvious its witch hunting.

have u ever imagined that Bukola Saraki, the son of Olusola Saraki, a former bank MD,a former two time governor, having his second term as a senator, and now a senate president for the past three years that makes more than N80m monthly as senate president will send people on a bank robbery with his vehicle and his name boldly written on it. To steal how much I beg u.
My friend please reset ur thinking

nobody is asking the right questions .... but why is it dino and saraki ... two allies and an opposition to bad governance that are being linked to crimes of gun and robbery and killings . hmnmn Nigeria I hail thee, lets continue running the country the archaic way that we want

Jaideyone:
the same kanu majority of your people followed!!! I was in the east when the movement grew astronomically!!!

yes naa, with the kind biased constitution
igbos will follow anybody that wants to pull them out of Nigeria
if am lying , let the FG inshrine referendum in the constitution and conduct it in the east
and see whether we would not break away

so such a crowd is expected

Jaideyone:
lie!!! a huge majority of your people call us fools and they just want to break up the country. yorubas are not against breaking up the country but ipob started out by insulting yorubas and calling for yorubas pastors eg kumuyi to be killed if he ever comes to the se. ipob saw us as the enemy instead of reaching out as friends!!!

u are just quoting Nnmadi kanu, kanu was just annoyed over past happenings and betrayals. in constitutional conferences we were with u people, in senate we were together with same goal, in house of reps, the same

btw, I don't see anything wrong in breaking up a country that hasn't worked for over 100yrs of its existence. 1914 till date

Throwback:
How did Yorubas rule with Hausa for 52yrs?

Azikiwe was ceremonial president to Tarawa Balewa from 1960 to 1966. He was already governor general before then.

Alex Ekwueme was vice president to Shagari for 4 yrs from 1979 to 1983.

Aikhomu from Edo and SouthSouth was vice to Babangida from 1985 to 1993.

Akhigbe from Edo was vice to Abdulsalami for 11 months from 1998 to 1999.

Jonathan from Bayelsa was vice to Yar'Adua for 3yrs from 2007 to 2010, and president for 5yrs from 2010 to 2015.

VP is ineffective, they are spare tyres. u can see the good tidings in osinbajo but he cant implement it
ceremonial president is like VP, can only beg

Jaideyone:
oh really? yet you called yorubas fools for asking for restructuring over the years.

we have always been with u people on restructuring, only the north disagrees. and they have a biased and skewed large numbers which they are using to hold the country backwards

Jaideyone:
oh really? who was in charge 2009-2015?

jonathan was in charge for 6yrs with an already made biased constitution with higher numbers of legislators from the north that makes it difficult to change anything but only to just just abide by what has already been biasedly laid down
btw, hausa and yorubas ruled for 52yrs and made that biase constitution and we are all suffering it

Jaideyone:
lmao liar!!!! Jonathan flagged off the dredging just the same way he flagged off the the second Niger bridge but after the flagging off nothing was done!!!

so Jonathan commissioned Onitsha river port on 2012 and till 2015 he didn't concession the port for a company to run? that is your own son o. your son didn't do something for you in 6yrs but you want the aboki and afonja that you hate to do it hahahahaha

btw click here and see the pictures of your wonderful Enugu airport as at 2014

lmao

we blame Yoruba and hausa because u people fashioned the country the way it is now. A SHITHOLE

Throwback:
And what did then president Jonathan do about it if there was no logical or economic reason for it?

What is Rotimi Amaechi doing about it if it is Hausa and Yoruba that are doing this?

the president has the final say, not amaechi. jona didn't do it also because he sabi look hausa face before ha does anything. its annoying. that doesn't mean it should be continued. if the economic reason for that is not well spread, then igbos complain are genuine
I don't understand any economic reason for that, how could that be

Throwback:
Onitsha does not open to the sea.

And I'm sure that whatever seaport from the coast leads into Onitsha by river, would need that river to be dredged.


Who has stopped that river from being dredged?

Let me ask you some honest questions.

How viable has Enugu international airport been since it started its international operations?

One thing I've noticed with Nigeria is that we prefer to use only one thing till it is destroyed and we move to the next new replacement.

Lagos has international airport because it was capital and remains commercial capital and it is cosmopolitan, Abuja has one because it is capital and a cosmopolitan city.

Kano has one for the North and hajj operations and it is a cosmopolitan city. PortHarcourt has one because it is the petroleum capital and also cosmopolitan.

I can understand lamentations about moving from Abia/Enugu to Lagos and vice versa. But one would think that both Airport and Seaport in PortHarcourt would be useful within its limitations to cater for those SouthEast traffic.

And if indeed there is some topographical limitations and bureaucratic limitations, why where they not addressed by a Southern federal government dominated by Ijaws and Igbos in the presidency, ministries and specific agencies that oversee these facilities?

Even till today, a SouthSouth Rotimi Amaechi is transport minister overseeing both Airports and Seaports.

How are we Yorubas to blame?

its a new intl airport , so its picking up. since Enugu came on stream my friends from overseas no longer have to come to lagos either by bus or flight , pay for hotel accommodation while processing his papers for weeks, eat in the restaurants, do photocopy, ply transport up and down etc before traveling. so u see why lagos will continue to be having high IGR, because of skewed policies. My friends now spend less like their Yoruba and hausa counterparts. you are still wondering why the igbos love jonathan, this is one of the reasons: ENUGU INTL AIRPORT

Jaideyone:
face the north we'll sit on the fence and watch

if u do that , that will be nice of the yorubas. u people are always the unwanted equation that unbalances us with them and which has kept the country in darkness

Throwback:
And who has stopped you and the most traveled Africans from using Enugu Airport?

Who has stopped your river ports?

Those with sea port are still asking for improved depth, you are asking for river port that will fly over the shallow seaport?

Thankgod Jonathan was president for 5 years without any Yoruba influence in his government.

None of the WestAfrican nations has our population which explains why we have 4 or 5 viable international airports while they have only 1. Or don't you understand?

Our airports do not suffer from excessive traffic and we don't even have an extensive landmass that might warrant littering the nation with international airports even if the traffic is low.

hope u have heard or read in the news that the govt tax ships that use the east more $5,000 and lagos $2,000. then how do u explain that.
yoruba and hausa govts be using unhealthy policies to strangulate the east. in the long run, this country will sink as far as this hatred exist

Jaideyone:
there is Enugu airport and pH airport. the government is not the one stoping airlines from going there. the government can build a bus station but you can't force private buses to use your station.

I wonder why you cry babies didn't put pressure on Jonathan to fix all these for you.

I know yorubas give you nightmares but we are not the cause of your misfortunes. the ports in the south south are run by intels an aboki man. face the north and fight them pls. leave us out of your cries.

when we face the north, are u assuring us that u wouldn't join them again to fight us? this is our only problem with u people.
u always identify our enemies and happily and willingly join forces with them

Throwback:
I often laugh when I read statements from Igbos lumping the SS with their SE problem of no port or low port patronage.

I know for a fact that Onne port in Rivers State is ever busy, despite the dip that was due to the reduced oil and gas industry projects owing to the oil price slump. The port is available for those who claim they want to deny Lagos IGR, as though it is Lagos state that is operating the federal ports there.

Ignorant people just love to make fallacious assertions having observed same fallacy regurgitated by many.

It is only in Nigeria that we believe every state or tribe must have international airport, or that every coastal state must have sea port. Even those landlocked from the sea are claiming that they must have riverport, and that the sea port in Lagos is the reason their goal to have a river port has not garnered any traction.

Most countries in the world barely have more than 2 or 3 international airports.

Most of our WestAfrican neighbours only have 1 international airport. Yet we have people that lament that Lagos and Abuja have international airports, as though it was not due to their capital status, and then claim they are being marginalized and deliberately underdeveloped.

Nigeria also operate international flights from international airports in Kano and Port Harcourt. So are those 4 international airports not enough for this country, and are they not evenly spread enough, or international airport must also be a federal character principle?

How viable have those other international airports been when they were eventually upgraded to assuage tribal parochialism?

you are just running away from the truth

if not for tribalism how can a people that does more of the importing and exporting not have an international airport since, if not that jonathan recently upgraded Enugu. and again is there not supposed to a sea port at Onitsha? is lagos not over burdened already? every year u are repairing oshodi apapa express way because 5million trucks ply it everyday. continue, na una go tire.

the African countries with one airport u mentioned, whats there population and how heterogenous are they?
what international status does PH have before now, it was flying only African countries before now.
the complain of the igbos are genuine

good! but we don't want to hear that he escaped oooo

those supporting evil

can u now believe that there is evil in this govt

sulasa07:
Please, why is it that the medical,red cross society also have cross sign on their attire and the likes,The only thing you people know to do best is cause mischief in the land.Hypocritical people.

red cross is not a Nigerian govt organization, is not funded with statutory allocation, btw, u people have red crescent too fashioned after red cross.
in medicals , its the private pharmacy coys that put those cross inscriptiions on their drugs. its optional for u not to buy. private hospitals also put it and its optional.
govt hospitals that are funded with tax payers money - I haven't seen
so why will it be the army that is funded with tax payers money.

next time u want to compare, compare two similar things

surprised

the most honorable thing to do is to resign

how can he compare the democratic and free imolites to what is happening in sarakis kwara and tinubus lagos

he derailed seriously in his administartion

FoolishBoy419:
Jihad means striving in the cause of Allah which could be divided into 3:

Fighting ones evil thoughts

Going through difficulty to preach Islam

fighting war against invading non-muslims.

I don't argue blindly

@NO.3. Has the war against non muslims ended? or is it forever? even though benue people are not invading any muslim land

all the killilngs by terrorists are unprovoked and they all use JIHAD as excuse. at least u can agree with me @NO.3 that fighting war and killing is encouraged

FoolishBoy419:
Does it matter? Islam doesn't permit the activities of herdsmen. Religion must go

Then define JIHAD

proudevil:
who is fooling who? If Igbo's are caught in what they are good at no news outlet will reads Igbo trader caught with drug in Thailand, even Evans wasn't tag an Igbo kidnapper...hypocrites.

keep supporting evil
drug and kidnapping is synonymous with all tribes

but herdsmen is synonymous with which tribe? biko

FoolishBoy419:
Hitler did the same. The greatest cancer to this world is religion itself. No distinctions

is hitler a representation of Christians. did hitler form any Christian organization and started killing in the name of jesus
hitler did all he did in hitlers name and politics. christians aren't asked to fight jihad
so stop comparing wood and iron

Vatsyayana:
Have you taken your time to reflect on how come it is only in Benue that Fulani Herdmen kill?
Is it that the Fulani Herdmen is Ibadan not as wicked as those in Benue?
Think!

keep supporting evil
they are not claiming to own Ibadan, but they are claiming the fertile benue valley, and the proximity with them makes it worse, furthermore it was benue that stopped their jihad eastwards. SO THINK HARDER

proudevil:
I don't know why people like to give this issue an ethnic coloration, are only Fulani's hearders?,if ortom's stomach is running its fulanis,if a single fowl is lost in makurdi is the fulanis ,what if they are ipobs? Because KANU said that nigeria will burn and we are seeing His threat coming to life..

u are so annoying, keep supporting evil
whats ur own, when the miyetti have already owned up

Ijaya123:
You're on a very long thing.

very long thing my brother, the long thing na for all of us shaa, bc we are in this shit together

ObaIgwe1:
That is not what they really need.

They should provide all their customers with pre-paid meters.

yes, with pre paid meter, no need for text messages. the darkness in ur house will alert u

IKEJA electricity should stop this kind of improvements on "estimated billings jare "

just give us prepaid meters, we don't need ur SMS

Ijaya123:
So you have been scammed before. You've obviously learnt nothing.

I bet you will scammed several time more with a mindset like this.

yes, we were scammed in 2015.
what mindset.
you beat a child and ask him not to cry

the high cost of living
the high dollar exchange
the corruption by APC members
the six months fixing of electricity
the 5% statement
the lazy youths statement
the other room statement
the lopsided appointments
non obedience of court rulings
persecution of opposition members
the dollar exchange fraud by emirs
the loss of over 3m jobs
the suicide committed by Nigerians because of hardship
the PMB certificate saga
