Should All Lands In Nigeria be Owned By Government and sold in bulk to investors, and should free hold land ownership be abolished?

I believe all lands should be owned by the government and freehold land ownership should be abolished. As long as individuals own freehold properties , Nigeria and other third world countries will never develop .
That's my opinion. what's your opinion?

most average Nigerian streets look like the pics below or even worse.

Your post is superficial and upsetting, and I'll tell you why.

There is a sense of responsibility that most Igbos have toward AIIA. We have witnessed years of neglect, of traveling through decrepit federal roads in order to get to the airports in Lagos or Abuja. Grudgingly, AIIA was given international status. With no facilities to shoulder such a responsibility, it was almost certain the airport would crumble upon itself-it was only a matter of time.

Years have gone by, and the airport has held up against the smear campaign of the Lagos media who once opined Enugu was too dirty to host an international airport, and against the duplicity of the FG who denied other airlines entry into Enugu, while allowing new airlines leave to enter Kano, a city with far less international air traffic. Hence, most of us have come to stomach the slight inconvenience that is a 6-hour layover at Addis Ababa in order to give this airport a lifeline. Then, there's the independent thinkers like yourself who cannot be bothered to fly an airline struggling to find its feet on alien, inhospitable soil, who are enticed by the convenience of flying the Royal Dutch airline, and only waiting under an hour in Amsterdam. That certainly sounds far less tedious, and who could blame you for making a convenient choice.
What the rest of the guys on here are trying to say in the nicest of ways and in the politest language, is that your opinion on the matter is of limited benefit, hence no one wants to hear it. Moreso as your time is far too precious to be spent on a matter as pedestrian as planning your trip around the three days Ethiopian flies into Enugu, and as you won't be flying Ethiopian anyway, we are asking that you not kill the zeal of those who do. I believe that's not an unreasonable request.

Memejem:
So igbos are supposed to go out of their way abroad to research how Ethiopian airlines operates to fit them into thier schedule?

Other airlines operate on a schedule that is able to acommodate most people and their traveling habits with competitive prices.

The goal is to enter Nigeria to visit family. Not to bend over backwards to meet anybody’s agenda. If KLM, British airways, Air France etc has routes available that make it easy for the customer to get to Nigeria, Ethiopian airlines can go to hell.

I’m not planning my trip around an airline. There is a date I want to go home and I pick the airline that can get me there at a competitive price without much burden on me. Simple

Cjrane2:
Whether you fly KIM or you fly British air, you must be smart with day of flying.

Ethiopian airlines fly only 3 days (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) into Enugu . You must plan to begin your journey on Monday or Wednesday or Friday to avoid long layover

Cjrane2:
These wicked people are still diverting Enugu flights to Lagos!

Didn't they say their runway "repair" was going to last from 22nd of december to 27th december 2017 and only after 3:00pm?

This is now January , 2018 and they are still diverting Enugu bound flights to Lagos and not even Port Harcourt as they stated in the announcement?

So, how will the passengers get to Enugu if they were not told they will be going to Lagos until the last minute?

How do you like these ones we built before here. Pick one design and I will give you what the likely costs will be. Welcome.

Below is an unedited post from Nigeria Police's page.....

'Live at the Area Court of Justice of the FCT, in the Abuja Judicial Division, Holden at Abuja. In the matter of an application by commissioner of police for an order of the Honorable Court to remind the Respondent's in prison custody for a period of 14 days pending the completion of police investigation and filing a former charge. However, the judge granted only seven (7) days to the police to complete their investigations and file a former charge on the 9th January, 2018'.

Those who know him said on the comment section that the man pictured below is Daniel Elombah,the blogger/journalist FFK said was arrested by police for a publication he made against President Buhari.

Cooly100:
These things can be localised. The heat should be put on the governors and Ohaneze. Since they stated that all griveances should be tabled thrrough them to the FG. See what they are doing in Iran. Everyone knows there is deliberate policy by the FG to shut down the SE..

Abagworo:
Ride along Buhari road.

By Nse Anthony-Uko
(Sundiata Post) –

Many Nigerians Ibos have expressed anger at Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) over the arrest of the Managing Director of Nigeria’s indigenous Motor Assembly Plant Innoson Motors, Dr Innocent Chukwudi by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Our investigations reveal that there is a sustained campaign against GTbank since his arrest on Tuesday, as thousands of Nigerians yanminris from a section of the country have vowed to close down their accounts with the Bank. Some have already done that and posted them on social media.

Already Hashtags have been created to drive the massive campaign against GTBank. Some of the hashtags include #BoycottGTBankOverInnoson; #BoycottGTBank among others.
Sundiata Post gathered that even the elites among them are not left out.

A very popular hotelier that owns a four star in Owerri is one of those who has done that .The message is already spreading like wild fire on social media. None of the top management team of GTbank was ready to speak to our reporters when we contacted them this afternoon.

Chukwuma, was picked up at about 11 a.m. at his Savage Crescent, GRA Enugu residence on Tuesday, December 19 on allegations of refusal to honour an invitation by the Commission having earlier jumped an administrative bail granted to him in a case being investigated by the Capital Market and Insurance Fraud Unit of the Commission’s Lagos office.
His arrest has however sparked widespread condemnation as many see this as an act of intimidation to prevent court judgements secured in his favour from being executed in cases between Innoson and Guaranty Trust Bank Plc.

Nobody should be deceived to trust these horrible people.

Knowing their wicked disposition to anything in the zone to be substandard, I predict that since they couldn't close the airport as they wanted, they will still do a substandard job that breaks down completely in a few months that will force the closure they are plotting.

These people have nothing good in their heart for the region. When it's Kaduna or Abuja airport to fix, they find Julius Berger to do the work to specification. If it's Enugu int'l airport, they use bricklayers hired from the market as engineers to mix sand and stones to "fix" international airport runway. Let them give the job to a reputable construction company as contractor to make sure specifications are met than to do and not use useless direct labor to "fix" an international airport runway.

jumobi1:
Why are you writing in red though? I didn’t choose the airline as you can see. However a wise man once told me not to argue with ..... Igbos are too prudent with money to waste it on unnecessarily more expensive flights. Have a blessed day Chima.

Cjrane2:
Our people have a very very funny mentality that Lagos makes them "civilized" or more "respectable" than anywhere in the SE. even if they live in a rat hole in Lagos

I say this as someone who is living in Lagos and see what our people go through there. The smart ones usually find a way to build a decent business for themselves in the SE than running around in Lagos living like a rat being chased around. i have seen a few smart girls set up hair dressing and braiding saloons in Obosi and Aba, than remain jobless and working as maid servants in Mama-put in Lagos. On the other hand, I have seen the follish ones living in Makoko slums in Lagos claiming to be somewhat "better off" than people living in GRA or independence layout enugu!!! On what grounds bikonu?

Even those Ebonyi youths selling pure water in Lagos traffic see themselves as "better' than those with decent market shops and earning a decent living as a merchant in Abakaliki.

In the same vein, i can see our people thinking that arriving or leaving the country through Lagos or Abuja somehow makes them "higher or superior" than arriving or leaving in Enugu. The illiterate mentality is real and just needs to be addressed.

PDPGuy:
Lol

In addition to your reasons, I also think that ticket prices are another reason why most Igbo diasporas prefer flying to Lagos or Abuja.

The relatively expensive ticket to Enugu may be due to the fact that the airport still lacks some critical safety infrastructure. Hence, Ethiopian Airlines would want to guarantee that they have enough money in the bank in the event of something terrible happening to their aircraft.

shaibu123:
The reason why people fly to lagos or Abuja is the ticket price. For example from any European country to Enugu will cost between €900-€1200,why lagos or Abuja can sometimes go as cheap as €398 return ticket. So if you have a family of 2 adults and 3 kids flying to Enugu it Will cost you €4900 but if you choose to fly to lagos or Abuja it will cost you €2500 on average. So when you put 2 and 1 together you will understand. Enugu Airport has to undergo serious rehabilitation in every area to allow for more traffic from other airlines. And this will cause competition between the airlines. At the moment Ethiopian airlines decides the price,no competition.

jumobi1:
Stop posting half truths. Use the same dates. It’s mostly cheaper flying into Lagos than Enugu.

You are just a silly baby.

Posting Lufthansa flights to Enugu?

Why don't you choose Japan airways flights to Lagos or Port Harcourt and compare it with Air France that goes there?

Only Ethiopian airline goes to Enugu right now, so choosing South African airline to Enugu is just you mocking your ignorance. Because it will first go to Jo'burg and then fly you back to Addis Ababa or Lagos before going to Enugu.

If you choose Lufthansa or Emirates to Enugu, it will first fly to Frankfurt or Dubai and then will have to re-route to Addis Ababa or Lagos and then catch another flight to Enugu. More like flying to pluto first and coming back to earth. You will be charged for the unnecessary distance.

jumobi1:
How about you google flights so you have facts? How many international airlines even fly to the east? And of course the time of travel depends but it applies to all airport.
