GreenDestiny2:I wish at force HQ, those indicted in extortions and extra judicial killings are detained and punished for the murders. Without justice against those killers Nigerians are too aggrieved to be satisfied with just banning them and redeploying them to continue murdering people who resist extortion. |
[s] hammerP:[/s] You are just a bitter silly troll. I won't waste time answering a punk.. All i can tell you is that no matter how long you type in uppercase or grieve that Anambra is finally building its own airport, you cannot change sh*t. Silly troll! |
ejanla077:I have observed that known Anambra people in the forum are in support of this airport project. While known non-Anambra people here are hiding their bitterness and envy towards a project in Anambra using excuses as; "I want this airport to be better than Johannesburg airport" or "there isn't enough time to build this airport to bitterly oppose the project, so it should be abandoned". Let me just ask, which airport in Nigeria has the so-called international standard that these faceless people are suddenly pontificating for Anambra, else it does not deserve to have an airport like other states in Nigeria? My advise is that everyone should wait until April. If you see the final product and like it, then we will all be pleasantly surprised, if not, then your posts would be sensible. Right now, if Anambra people want their state to have an airport, i see no reason why they should be denied what other states have already done. Nigeria has more than 10 state built airports that are already functional and these states don't even have half the GDP of Anambra. Therefore, if Anambra state wants to have an airport to facilitate business in the state, non-Anambrarians should leave them alone as nobody protested against these state government built airports; Taraba - Jalingo airport Akwa Ibom - Uyo Intl. airport Katsina state - Umaru Yar'adua airport Delta - Asaba intl airport and Osubi airport Imo State - Sam Mbakwe Intl. Cargo airport Owerri Eastern Region - Akanu Ibiam intl. airport Enugu Bauchi state - Bauchi airport Gombe state - Gombe Lawanti International airport Bayelsa state - Yenagoa International airport Nasarawa State - Lafia airport Kebbi - Kebbi International airport Jigawa state - Dutse International airport Ebonyi state - Abakaliki International airport |
Owambe guys and Fake News!

drinoayo:One needs to know who this Nigerian is for the Federal government to care at all about his plight. A clear departure from the standard indifference attitude of Nigerian federal government to the plight of its citizens abroad. The fact they cleverly hid his name tells you who this person is. |
mariahAngel:Some pipul will commit suicide about this news lol.... ![]() |
Abasman008:The moniker you are condemning is a yoruba man. You are being manipulated exactly as he wants. Try and research monikers a bit by reading their previous posts for at least 6 months before making up your mind. There are people here that are paid by politicians to ferment discord and manipulate those that are too lazy to research anything |
Nigerian government often don't care about lives of Nigerians. These men will still surface in other units and continue taking lives of innocent civilians. If the level of police mursers in Nigeria happened in any country, their citizens would be lynching Policemen. |
selemempe:Quota System inferior products. |
ajibola1979:What would one expect from a fellow Fulani thief? He is all silent about Magu and soon will release the man to enjoy his loot because he is also a Fulani like all others looting Nigeria everywhere. |
IGBOSON1:SEEPCO is a known crooked company owned by Pakistanis. However, there is every evidence that the present theft was orchestrated by Federal Government. Imagine drilling across River Niger just to hide their pipes under water and deny Anambra of her oil revenue? This is totally wicked! |
hammer3:If you are not particularly pained by the development in Anambra state, you would know i have no support for any politician but the interest of my state. In this same thread, some have also accused me of supporting Peter Obi. Bottomline is that i am pro-Igbo. I support developments in all Igbo states (including Delta and Rivers) and what will help them develop our people's capacity to develop Igboland as a whole. I am very much unlike you that thinks because you are from Enugu, you should dish out negative energy towards a project in Anambra etc, with the shortsightedness that if the economy of Anambra booms, it readily uplifts Enugu too. Just like Lagos economy uplifts Ogun today and drives industrialization of Ogun due to proximity to Lagos. But you are too shortsighted to see beyond primitive instincts. Imagine an Ogun person fighting against economic projects in Lagos? They won't because they are wiser. If you have lived in the United States, you will know that what makes that country so great and powerful is that the same standard of living in Washington DC is that same standard of living in San Diego, Denver or Flint! Therefore, people don't unnecessarily have to over populate Washington DC because that is the only place that has an international airport, or seaport or good telecoms. That is the big difference between you Nigerians' world view of let us develop only Lagos, Abuja and Kano, then leave the rest of the country in stone age. Precisely the reason why there is so much hatred and clamor by everyone to leave the country because of the senseless agenda/mindset of a typical Nigerian to use other peoples resources to develop only sections of the country, while frustrating development in other parts of the country. |
gwafaeziokwu:More than 15 years after Uyo intl. airport was inaugurated and functioning from a bungalow terminal building, it is finally building the permanent terminal building! This is how to build an airport sustainably because even as an oil producing state, Akwa Ibom knew they could not afford to build the international standard airport with 3.5KM runway, taxiway, navigational equipment, massive imposing terminal building etc all at once. You MUST order them in such a way that you will continuously develop the airport in time as resources become available. They understood the correct order of facilities for an airport to develop sustainably was: the control tower, the runway, basic building to process passengers for arrivals & departures, navigational equipment, taxiway and the permanent massive terminal building. In that order.

Macphenson:Good one, but are they giving any assistance to the farm to increase production? Or just to show up for photo ops and seek ways to undermine the farm? i ask these questions because its the stock in trade of federal government towards anything upstart business in the southeast. |
When he needs votes for his presidential ambition, he will suddenly remember the Port Harcourt to Maiduguri line to do a fake award of contract that will never be funded ![]() Wicked people! |
AseV:The university itself has become a citadel of corruption. Unless eagle eyed auditors are regularly sent there to audit how the money was used, everything will still be stolen with nothing on the ground to account for the money. |
hammer3:This is Apapa wharft mentality. I want only one infrastructure in Nigeria because its in my state. Even if it's incapable of serving the needs of the country or other ports in other regions will help Nigeria's economy grow, i don't want them because they may rival my home state's port. If you oppose this simply because you are from Enugu or so, then i have wasted my time trying to educate someone with an ulterior motive. The same arguement was made against Asaba airport that it would take away passengers from Enugu and Owerri and kill Igbo airports. Now let me ask you, has Asaba cause Enugu and Owerri airports to close down? Look, Anambra airport WILL NOT affect Enugu or Asaba airports. If Asaba airport finally becomes international and perhaps get routes as Rome, Turkey, London, Cairo. While Enugu gets Addis Ababa, Frankfurt, Houston,Nairobi and Umueri gets Shaghai, Mumbai, Taipei, Jakarta, Johannesburg,. These airports can co-exist and in fact complement each other the way JFK and LaGuardia and Newark airports complement each other by their close proximity. By diverting flights to nearby places in emergencies in one airport. If Port Harcourt Intl was not near Enugu, there would be no place other than Lagos to divert Enugu flight when the airport was closed. Again, Obiano does not need to build anything spectacular that we all know even the federal government cannot afford. Thus we know Obiano cannot afford them. Obiano only needs to build smartly: a solid 3.5KM runway with proper airfield lighting for night operations and Instrument Landing System (Category 2) to enable airplane land even in zero visibility & the airport attain a Cat 2 airport rating. If the Anambra international airport can take these jumbo passenger / Cargo (Airbus 380 & Boeing 747 ) jets in the picture below, then it is worthwhile and justified its existence by having that length of runway. Right now, i think only Lagos, Abuja and Kano Intl. airports runways are long enough for this category of airplanes. Once we get a runway that can take any type of plane, then even if it takes 50 years to build the shiny terminal building in the render & a taxiway of about 20 meters wide), then Obiano did a very good job by adding Anambra in the league of only 4 states with runway lenght that can safely land this huge passenger & cargo jet! At least a 3.5 KM by 60 M Runway, Airfield lighting and ILS cat 2 is everything!

OruExpress:Countries put in their best in their international airports. It is different from their public mass transportation facilities. Although the standard is still waaay above what we build in Nigeria, these countries don't particularly pay too much attention to them as they aren't really image makers like say Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas,Fort Lauderdale, New York , Denver, Newark, Philadelphia, Orlando, Tampa,Detroit, Boston etc airports. I expect Nigeria's 5 international airports to at the minimum resemble south African airports. My point is that in Nigeria, we have so downgraded the basic standard thinking Lagos is a standard for anything. The way someone mentioned here once that Nnewi should "develop" to become Onitsha. Because we think the closest best thing we have is actually what it should be. We should outgrow the mindset that anything in Lagos meets global standard. In truth, Lagos is a horrid slum and Nigeria is notorious in building substandard things. That is why i grieve when our highest aspiration is always "Lagos" as if it meets even the basic standard globally. Exactly the reason why our people are so wowed when they visit even Iran or Egypt. |
Since you live in Connecticut, these are the Metro North train stations in Stamford, New Haven, Greenwich. Let me Know if Lagos airport looks better. Even the toilets in Lagos airport don't have water.

Fleshly:Yorubas hate the truth. In America, that airport is the equivalence of comparing Bauchi airport to the busiest international airport in an African country. Yet, I will tell you that even Bradley airport compared to Lagos or Abuja airports is like comparing heaven to hell. Even the Tiny Bradly airport in Connecticut, is basically a domestic airport in the USA except flying small planes to nearby Montreal Canada, it still beats both Lagos and Abuja airports in everything INCLUDING number of flights. Not to mention that Bradley meet international standard of a functional airport compared to Nigeria's premiere airports. Again i can show you Metro North train stations and each is better and cleaner than Abuja and Lagos airport terminal buildings. Even the Monorail train stations in Metro Atlanta or Salt Lake city are better than Lagos and Abuja airport buildings. I don't want to pollute the Anambra thread by posting Lagos and Abuja airports for everyone to compare and see for themselves. Suffice to say that even South African airports are more of international standard compared to Lagos and Abuja airports.

Rocksvibes234:GBAM! As long as they reserve space for future expansion, they don't need to build everything in one day. Imagine that Heathrow airport that has been functioning since 1920s is till being developed till date. Our people should jettison the mindset of building Rome in one day. it is not feasible even in the rich advanced countries because there is NO MONEY to build everything in one day. |
ANSMEDIA:Fantastic!!! Towers above 8 levels are also good for installing other navigational equipment and radars. I'm sure that is why they planned to make the tower so tall and totally cast as solid concrete.
|
hammer3:You say all these things as if you have a bitter hidden agenda. The question is WHERE IS THE MONEY?? Every African knows that we simply lack the funds to build projects that will be at par with what the developed world does. Therefore, we always insist on the basics. Even elementary schools in America have more infrastructure than the best universities in Nigeria. County (LGA) hospitals here are better than our so called best teaching hospitals. you know this. Therefore, what we are asking is to concentrate on the basics and make them work. Those of you in the habit of posting the tallest buildings in the world here and say that is the apartment building that Igbos must build in Onitsha simply exposes you defective thought process. If we had that amount of resources, Nigeria will not be the poverty capital of the world. Heathrow's 3rd runway alone costs $18 Billion Dollars. That is bigger than the total cost of Abuja, Lagos, Kano, PH and Enugu airports COMBINED! Have we aimed at building that type of runway in Abuja? No! Why, because Nigeria cannot afford such projects. But, it does not mean we cannot build basic runways in Abuja and Lagos. For those of you that think Lagos or Abuja are up to standard of first world countries.

hammer3:If you live in the USA, you will know that no single airport in Nigeria (Lagos or Abuja) meets the minimum standard of even train stations in USA. Therefore, if we considered standard before coming to Nigeria, then we would NEVER come home because none is up to standard. I agree that safety and operationability is the keyword here. The airport should have the required length od runway and electronic instrument landing system before Obiano leaves office. Once the airport is generating its own income, even if the next governor decides not to fund it, it will gradually fund itself to complete the taxiways, airfield lighting and terminal building. Obiano's primary job now is to make sure the airport becoame operational before he leaves office to ensure it can begin to fund it's own development. Albeit slowly. |
BankOfCalabar:lol... ![]() |
[s] Fleshly:[/s] Trash! Not only Ngige, go and bring Orji Uzor Kalu too! Ndi ala! |
ANSMEDIA:Much appreciated. Thank you Sir! I am actually a researcher, so i often research similar projects published online to get an idea when it was started, cost in USD and when it was completed. That then gives one an idea if it can be done in 1 - 5 years based on the cost, as it happened in other climes or if it will take up to 10 years to achieve based on how long it took similar middle income countries to achieve same. |
Ahamefuna0001:It can still be renamed Alex Ekwueme International airport, Onitsha and google will change to the most updated name once people tag the area with the new name. Same way google changed Enugu airport and Emene airport to Akanu Ibiam International airport, Enugu when people started referring to it in the new name and tagging the location on google maps with the new name. |
