If you're Hausa then I'll just keep quiet cos you're the real MVP I'm.this.matter.but if you're not then.you ain't different.
Albeit, I'll make it clear to you; in ideal situations the Igbos could go for it by even parleying the North but the cos of some decisions won't be good
Now if a whole Abike could descend as low as demonizing the Igbos for invictus but never did so for Hush & wood then don't you think there's a huge problem?
You people will shout Igbos are spoiling Nigeria's name but you engage in such crimes too and even worse.
About last year, a Northern lady was rescued from arrest abroad as cocaine in her possession was claimed to have been deposited by an airport worker while we never heard of the airport worker till date.
Just Google drug dealers in Asia & most Islamic countries and you'd be amazed yet you guys turn at every little thing to shout on Igbos
Yes GEJ was corrupt but I tell you if he was Hausa, he wouldn't have been booted but for being minority
Bros, no Igbo should be president now before you blood suckers start a killing spree claiming he did acts

Surulere
Reminds me of Wizkid

Exclusive101:
If politician want to cris carpet n criscros let them, that is how they have been doing that since 1999 without your father wailing or demand for electoral reforms but because the power that be does not ally with your delusion you are here faulting how I think.

I for a fact know Nigeria isn't working but those to demand change should not be delusional clowns like you that want the country return to what brought us to the disaster we have in Buhari.

Many of us can see tru your deceit n foolish castigation of the present government, they are failures no doubt but definitely not as horrible as we witnessed under the devilish PDP where result was written in Wike's bedroom or where Fayose slapped n disbanded election tribunal. Now if you can not see the difference no matter how little then pls with all pleasure head to hell.

Fools like you be making noise about bullion van but ignore helicopter filled to the brime with dollars by Fayose n Ebele flown into Ekiti on election day n yet u foolish souls be demanding for change.

Hehehehehehehehhe
Make Una continue Una folly naaaaa
PDP flew helicopter while APC did bullion van
Bros how is the former better
Like I said for typing that shit opining APC should mess with the country by doing a whole lot of petty stuffs as a means of getting back to the PDP shows how ...............(no words exactly) you're
What happened with being better and even jailing those involved.
The last PDP had a stake in my state was around 2004

Lol
Metaphysical solve your problems before advising the Igbos
I for one for now will not vote for an Igboman for presidency
In fact, I advise any sensible Igboman to stay away from some sensitive positions in the Nigerian sphere
Cos the they will blame you for the same Nigeria they have all destroyed
Yes GEJ messed up but he only got demonised cos he was from a minority tribe & today same GEJ was booted not cos of his corrupt practices (yes I believe he was corrupt and was ousted rightly) but cos of their greed and security reasons of which they've not proferred a solution to
My advise to fellow Igbos, it's a trap, stay away from leadership; allow them fight dirty while you watch
You've done enough fighting, it's time to Netflix & chill while they fight

MetaPhysical:
Im going to cut it down for you in very simple way.

Government does not owe you Town Hall. It will be nice if they opt to build one but they can equally opt not to. If the Town needs a Hall for community gathering and events then you pool funds and erect one.

Government promotes trade and exchange. Government owes you an airport, and it is not an option.

The knowledge and awareness deficit in Imo in 1983 led to this show of shame you are incorrectly branding with pride.

Imo people in 1983 were clueless, simple!

Im coming to Mbaise soon to see Christina. I will gladly give lecture in your town hall and open una eyes.

You're absolutely short of understanding of you typed this nonsense above
Govt owes you power and water, why purchase a Generator/Lister or bore a hole for water?
I insist, why Nigeria is heavily underdeveloped is because the intelligent and goodhearted Nigerian becomes so daft in national issues due to tribalism

Exclusive101:
Are you the umpire in the election to tell what rigging is ? If every election APC won his rigging does that imy that every election PDP conducted since 1999 was also rigged because I do not see what APC is doing differently from what PDP did ?

I do understand demented fools demand APC be held to the change it promise while Pandemic Development Party be allowed to continue it foolishness but PDP will only be paid based on standard it offered Nigeria when it was in power.

The way is held election in Ekiti with Sgt Roger to rig in Fayose n how it perpetrated fraudulent election in Rivers always will be how election will be conducted for it as well so that when next it gains power he will implement policies to sanitize the political climate for everyone.

How some of you here think every comment here is from PDP or something amazes me
Don't you even think that PDP is already a dead party?
And you think the APC doing exactly what the PDP did says it all good for the progress of this country?
Just read what you wrote up there
So the APC is also looting the way PDP did to get at PDP?
Quiet pathetic
At the end these politicians will cross-carpet and leave you and I out of their selfish interest
That you're Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa or PDP/APC commoner won't shield you from the effects of bad governance

IamPatriotic:
Lost in children without permanent voter's card (PVC) will be on social media and be supporting unpopular politicians, thereby giving the impression that such politicians would win an election. When real voters with PVC elect the popular person, it's these same scattered children that will take to the internet to trend all sort of foolishness. The unfortunate thing is that they'll never learn!

Voters abi riggers or bullion van movers?

IamWonderful:
Continue chasing shadows even your papa Jonathan couldn't hurt jagaban hair

What does GEJ has to do with this?
Why is an allegation against PYO a pain in the ass for most of you here?
I thought you said you don't support evil?
Inasmuch as I believe PYO is a gentleman but if his acts are questionable, he should be asked questions.
And yes that this news died down last year doesn't mean it isn't true since there was no proper investigation as the govt didn't take it up

OsuAmaka:
A 2019 recycled old lie that had been debunked. Osinbajo had since resigned his membership in SimmonCoopers soon as he was elected in 2015.
The firm itself had disproved the claim linking it to Alpha beta.
Your mission to bump an old news is very clear and obvious.

-Osu amaka

No na ABOBAKU amaka

Oloripelebe:

So this deluded ipob yoot pasted a fake 2019 news just to confuse his fellow flattinoooos on nairaland.... If i talk na una go dey cry marginalization abi na biafla or death

Indeed this is marginalisation as Dapo Apara na IPOB him wan bring PYO down
You are the main rulers of this country

Gforce2015:

You guys are the evil rodents biting away the life in any good thing about to happen in this country?
PDP which is dead or which one?
You political touts will keep.doing dirty jobs for these politicians while sharing peanuts

900winer:
Chai!!!

Ipob miscreants go rush this thread like wildfire

Are some of you guys not tired of all these rubbish?
So na IPOB dey embezzle all these billions being looted in Nigeria daily?

gentlestdude:
yen yen yen! when this when that... that's all y'all ambassadors keep saying, Oga lock yourself and your family inside for the rest of your life that's your own but don't involve others abeg. We can't all be zombified

Sad.
Women preach love but are always quick to show wickedness to vulnerable ones.

This is the absolute truth
If you really wanna know a woman who isn't wicked, check how she treats those under her care
Same applies for men but women's are more obvious

MetaPhysical:
I presented multiple facts and supporting documents that counter the thread's position.

First, I gave authentic status of the airport from FAAN records.

Here I give you article on who built the airport and commissioned it and the year it was built.


I maintain that the contributions posted in this thread was not for the purpose it is claimed.

Could it be that this contribution was one of the popular village efforts back in the 80s to fund spare parts business for apprentices relocating to Lagos for new markets?

We know in the late 70s and into 80s many Ibo people did crowd funding for new opportunities in Lagos markets. They sponsored boys from villages to apprentice in Lagos and Kano and expand spare parts business.

Isnt this document an evidence of that....rather than some bullshyyte about an airport?


As it stands, authentic materials show the airport was built by state.

GOD!!!!
Bros I thought you were cerebral enough
Now I understand the main reason Nigeria is so backward; even intelligent people loose this property at the touch of tribalism.
Yes the airport was built by the state govt (who else would the donation go to? LGA, traditional rulers?) with donations from individuals
See the reference I have you
The donation was made public so this ain't news as people massively donated then.
The OP even opined so that the records were done by the state commissioner of finance then Mr. Idika
You don't have to go far; In some locations in Lagos you'll see Town Union buildings built solely in donation from a single village.
My village has town unions in every major city in the SE & in Lagos and in each of these locations, they have a 1/2-storey building on a 2plot land built by the union

GavelSlam:
Forget story.

How much was each car at the time?

Bros be humble to accept what you don't know N2k wasn't a crazy Biggie those days
Let's quantify it; N2k then was equivalent to maybe $2.6k.
Let's say due to inflation the value of the money currently is now $5k
Are you saying an some Nigerians don't have N5m?
Bros, every single Nigerian leaving this country for studies abroad and not on scholarship pays hugely upto N4MILLION

Ritchiee:
lol

Jaja of opobo was truly an IBO slave who bought his freedom.He was a good trader.Also Ojukwu'father..lobatan..the End.Who else do you have who was prominent in Biz?

The real bizness people have always been the Yorubas and Hausas.
Yorubas have had as bizness people, men and women of calibre like Madam Tinubu,Iyalode etc.
Esan Darocha and his son who was the first richest African,Odutola,Sir Mobolaji Bank Anthony etc.
Open this site

https://web.ccsu.edu/afstudy/upd7-3.htm

and know firsthand why Yorubas have always been the best bizness people then till date.

Tinubu a business man?
Oga, Kai! Maybe I'm speaking to kids here
What business is Tinubu known for aside politics?
Bros I only mentioned 2 names that rings a bell
Which of these names you mentioned will ring a bell compared to the 2 I just gave you?
Lol
I'll indulge you with a peer reviewed article (https://www.jstor.org/stable/24351221?seq=1)

vivalavida:
My parents paid for this airport. Monies were deducted from their salary from source. Monies they agreed to donate

Don't mind some morons here arguing this truth
Monies my people donated is being disputed?
You guys, Gavelslam, Metaphysical, Ritchiee, & Omenka should learn one wise action I learnt years ago thus, "Never ever think something impossible for you is so for others cos impossibilities for someone might be a walkover for another. So, rather than argue an impossibility isn't a walkover for the other person, learn how they do it & excel as well"

omenka:
Grandest lie ever told by ipods to caress their ego! How could such fine print on MS Word be in existence in Nigeria in 1983? Was that font style even available then?

These people, make una lie small small naw. Haba!! Look at the paper as well. How could anyone believe that sheet was from 83?

Only a fool will believe this crap.

Lol
The Omenka werey again?
Ok, this one here will prove your hatred and gross ignorance about Nigeria as a whole
It's not hidden that this is how the Igbos survived post war
Lots of roads were built entirely by community strength
Till date in my village we still contribute monies to grade our roads every festive times

MetaPhysical:
Mods abeg remove this fake record from front page.

This is not official record for the airport. It is unauthenticated. Official record from FAAN, airport authority, differs from this individually sourced and uncertified claim by OP.

I attach official record below. Follow link for additional clarity.

Im asking that this thread is deleted.



https://www.faan.gov.ng/owerri-airport/

Mehn is this how daft you can be?
So the mods should remove a true history of how a group of people contributed to build an airport the govt refused to support at the time?
This is how dark some of us black people can be
If people killed Einstein's books like this, who would have known the relationship between mass and energy?

GavelSlam:
You people are kids.

Most Nigerians had never seen two thousand Naira in cash as at 1984.

Not to talk of 50 thousand Naira.

Remember, this was supposed to be the period the "tyrant" Buhari was ruling.

JESUS of NAZARETH
Bros my own dad built a a 3-storey building in 1982 and same year bought a brand new Peugeot 505 for my mum (an undergraduate at UNN then), Peugeot 505 salon for my uncle & a Peugeot 504 station wagon for his business then all in one year.
Bros, some of you guys just argue blindly here, I give up really

alfredilly:
This also go to show your the subtle lies peddle by Igbo playing victim after the war. Yes there was destruction but Awo also effectively oversea the rehabilitation and rebuilding. The 20 pound myth was a product of failed bargain that affected some but not all biafra citizen. Those who have money in Nigerian bank with proof got their money back. The 20 pound policy was implemented to take care of those who came back with biafra currency, the source of which could not be ascertained. How do you excuse people who stole and printed illegal note during the war and came back requesting it to be exchanged with Nigerian currency.

Bros you could be right but you see these words "REHABILITATION & REBUILDING", remove them from those words you said there "Yes there was destruction but Awo also effectively oversea the rehabilitation and rebuilding. "
There's absolutely nothing like rebuilding nor rehabilitation by the Nigerian govt then
I'm.not saying it was the responsibility of the FG then either

ArcFresky:
Stop blowing your trumpet, historically traders were usually from the north or the south west.

Check history, successful traders usually originated from the north and west.

It was china and the allure of cheap standard goods that brought aboug Igbo prosperity in trading.

It was also the Igbos that introduced counterfeit goods
Used car importation
Spare parts
Substandard drugs or posions

Oil only brought easy money. Since there was no easy money for the south westerners, all they had was trade or die in poverty.

You lack history. Honestly Nigeria is high on illiteracy
If you couldn't read up Jaja of Opobo and his economic tussle with the British in Palm oil business then you obviously know nothing
Bros Jaja Opobo fought the British attempt at business monopoly in the oil palm business
This Jaja, read up his origin then come back for argument
The father of Odumegwu Ojukwu owned the only Rolls Royce in Nigeria then which the Nigerian govt borrowed to host the Queen of England back then
Bros, leave Igbos & trade oooo and even some few other things.
Bros, every good/bad thing in Nigeria today usually come from Lagos
If Igbos started 2nd hand, how come "Tokunbo" a Yoruba word is used for these
What is "Oluwole" known for? Forgery of documents
Abi you no know?
Bros, just keep.quiet ooo
Where did bend down select start from? These are bells from Cotonou, who imports them? Ask Ogun & Lagos border town indigenes, till date they still eat 2nd hand turkey n co

MetaPhysical:

Ibos invented text editor and used it ahead of the world. This 1983 document was typed in the legacy editor first used on a computer invented during biafran war.

Abeg, give my in-laws some slack.

We know you quiet well
Whatever your argument is, it is no news people contributed to build that airport.
See this
https://allafrica.com/stories/201904090098.html
(See the 11th paragraph: Mbakwe fought a battle with the federal authorities who initially opposed the construction of the airport and refused to give support. Undaunted and determined to make a mark, Mbakwe persisted on the airport project without federal assistance. Instead, contributions came from Imo people who gave their full support to the project[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font].)

Phenom10101:
Please we should correct this nonsense. It was never a civil war, it was a genocide committed against the blessed people of Biafra by the Nigerian Cannibals called soldiers.

Bros, it was � a civil war and never a genocide.
The genocide happened before the war

grandstar:
ugo4u

Sound economic policies is what will unlock the potential of the country and not Igbos
.
The Chinese are also very entrepreneurial but under communist China, they became desperately poor. It was economic reforms that started in 1978 that made China what it is today.

Without Igbos, Nigeria can become an economic powerhouse. Botswana has no Igbos yet it is developed.

This does not devalue or take anything from the Igbos. They are very entrepreneurial and industrious

I agree that Naija can thrive well without the Igbos but the Igbos don't practise communism in economics.
The economy of the Igbo man is entirely on a capitalist structure while they also come together as town unions (eg all over Lagos, you'll see buildings owned by these town unions) for social & community building

mu2sa2:
1983! Abeg wey de errport in 2020? Fake donations. Ipob deceiving ipob.

How can you wake up and ask of the whereabouts of a known international cargo airport in Nigeria?
Bros Google Sam Mbakwe International Airport
Try and get enlightened a bit before you come online to argue

Simplyleo:
Which future generation?

Btw, where is lamidi cownu, the god of ipob miscreants?

I thought he has established biafuro embassies in 500 countries.

Why jumping around?
Stay focused
A region built an airport on donation by individuals after a war ravaged them but today this govt is paying millions to a foreigner to design Air Nigeria's logo & now incessant loan applications and you are so dumb to even stay to argument
Kanu hasn't brought Nigeria down worse than our political elites (before you talk nonsense, both Igbo and non-Igbo leaders)
