What sort of rubbish, silly and not-even-good-to-share-gist-with-touts thread is this??
















I am out of here!!!!

I think the OP may have some point. Enugu Airport will surely depend on the goodwill of travellers in the South-east to help make it profitable.

However in terms of medium and long-term economic objectves, it is quite hard to point out the rationale for the choice of this particular airport. If there is airport that needs to haul passengers in and out of this country from the Southeast, the FG should have settle for the one in Owerri. That airport commands far more traffic than Enugu, despite its being functional only as late as the mid 90's. Then, there is its strategic location between the commercial nerve centres of Aba (60kms) and Onitsha (90kms). Even the the clusters of cottage industries between the area of Nnewi-Ideato would benefit from cheaper access to international markets and infact, this would improve indigenous production activities deep in the Southeast.

But again, this is Nigeria where we choose to play politics with just anything.... to the detriment of socio-economic recovery

I now recall when this incident first made the headlines: condemnation from left, right, centre....from everywhere, even from many members of the National Assembly. Now its time to get justice but instead what does one get in return:

"the suspects, Ukulor, Nwosu and Nmezi, have returned to their normal lives.... "

Seriously, NIGERIA IS ONE BIG JOKE!!!

Until we start to re-gain our sense of humanity, worse things are most certainly welcome!
