Thanks

GEJ might have education (which is worth nothing), but where is his common sense? How has a degree in zoology helped Nigeria in the past 1 year? What moves has he made to show he has any common sense?

Gbawe:
The point is that every State/region has challenges . I claim you don't have a point because you don't understand that I was not implying that the SW doe not have security challenges.  I am merely saying that the SE has challenges that is not the fault of anyone else even if some will unfairly want to blame the Yorubas for everything wrong in your lives!! Read what Calculia writes below . It is a direct example of what I am talking about . I.e it is the usual and tiresome Yorubas are "evil' and Igbos are "virtuous" nonsense any sensible adult can discountenance.  It is Yoruba folks who are always at fault. It is their actions that is always wrong, aggressive, malicious . It is the "medieval war-like" yorubas who are always to be found "devouring progressive elements" who can never do any wrong. Self-deceit may be amusing in children but it is not very funny in adults.

Instead of asking Saint Fashola to solve this problem. . . They are asking me to give them a solution.  

Gbawe:
The way you talk, a non-Nigerian can be forgiven for thinking that the SE States must be sheer and exemplary testimony to development, fine architecture, sound infrastructure, thriving entertainment scene, security, peace and stupendous class-leading innovation .  It would also be in order to conclude, from your talks, that non-SE state are far behind SE States and that  non-Igbo people are dullard not capable of having the 'fine' SE State Igbo "supreme" prowess has built. Sadly the reality does not match your delusions of grandeur. Instead , it is all of Nigeria that is far more underdeveloped than is desirable.

If all Igbos leave Lagos and the SW, as unreasonable feudalists want, are we to just assume that will now mean what has not happened in the past will miraculously materialize now i.e the SE States will suddenly become far more developed than other States in the way London is far ahead of Katsina? Every State is capable of development. It is only feudalists who think they have some 'magic formula' that makes them better than others when the reality on the ground exposes this to be deluded thinking.

Eziachi:
Some like you are missing the point. There is no such thing as tribal airport, only in Nigeria. I will go to Lagos if I had business to attend in Lagos that doesn't require me to go home and its within my budget, rather than going to Enugu, when I don't need to and its expensive.
But if I am home just to rest and see my family and my wife, children and grand children are with me, I will rather pay over the odd to go to Enugu and knowing that few hours later after arrival, we are all safe at home drinking some nice palm wine with the family than to pay far less into Lagos and then risk all my household travelling back to the East.

Your sentiment is not the reason or why we wanted a full fledged int' airport in Enugu. Count me out if the reason is to make MMA or Abuja airports useless or tribal airports.

BTW, you can get international flights directly into PH.

I challenged you to give me a single Village in Benue that is Igbo ancestry but you find it difficult to find an answer.
