For what exactly?

Is he trying to impress Buhari?
Is that the priority for now? This is disappointing based on damages done by the herdsmen in the state.

Eye service governor

And this guy is owing salaries in imo

They killed a few cows and the herdsmen put #8m as bill, but in the north when they kill southerners and destroy there business they expect u to move on like nothing happened in the spirit of one Nigeria.

This is one of the few reasons am always careful abt criticizing wike

This one has passed ass licking.

The funny thing is that these fulanis dont add anything to the economy of a state.

To travel they either trek with there cows or pack themselves like sardines inside truck and travel together.

When they finally arrive a state instead of renting a house like everybody and paying rent to benefit the state, they go into the Bush build thatch houses and call it settlements.

The dream of everyone is that as they progress they buy land build a house and Start a family especially if the state favours them. There's is no matter how much money they make from a state they will never build anything, even the mosques they want the govt to build it for them.

Life is strange... Turning my child against me is not an an issue for me. What I do believe is that any act of betrayal will always repeat itself no matter how hidden it might. I have seen it and I know it. The truth is that, even if my child does not see me as father in the future... I will die a happy man knowing that I had the strength to walk away.

To me go for a paternity test for ur kids. Just to be sure

Everytime I come to this naira land am irritated and have to leave the level of foolishness here is too high

Its hard to believe. But these fools actually think they are training for a war against the Nigerian army with snatched police rifles... LoL

All these people supporting ipob is this the weapon's u were banking on for your war against Nigeria?

It will be a massacre

Amumaigwe:
Check well Mr Commissioner. Niger delta are not Igbos, how can they be IPOB? Okpanam for that matter

The story is just foolish.

It says the men who were released in April. How would people who commit such offense just be released just like that

The story is full of lies.

Theicecode:
You are a mumu man

Real one

Gimme 500k and I will fix that

Mightyhaiz:

The day I knew this country wasn't serious was when I heard they used 5k to feed prisoner's daily.

Nigerians and scam... After receiving palatives from the Canadian govt, u want this use the money that run to Nigeria

Macsjebs:
Everyday and in every way, Nairaland gets a lot more interesting and educative

One thing I will never forget are kind words which well known and respected monikers posted on the thread on my signature

That means u haven't tried twitter

Real

Buhari picked kano as part of the states for covid19 testing.

What a laugh it will be when these so called covid19 patients finish the vaccines and dont get well, because they never had covid19 at the first place.

At it becomes a scandal

Redoil:
little wonder they don't want Nigeria to divide
that is why they always promise Yoruba people Presidenvy only to always fall their hand

Fall there hand how. Yoruba's have ruled this country for 8years already. And will rule another 8years by 2023 go and cry about yr people

hammerP:

Because this mumu whitewoman talked about Nigeria?
Whose only credentials is, that she's a US citizen abeg make una get sense o.

Even davido na Us citizen

All those boat people don hammer this period

Yampotatocarrot:
If this "Akachi" road passes that area where you have the moulded hand of God, then I'll say a big kudos to Rochas.

We laughed at it, made jest of it, but truth is, he had very good ideas about Owerri. One of his major achievements is creation of new roads in areas you won't ever believe a road could be created.

For that, he deserves a big kudos.

If you are conversant with UNN, u'll know about the road from Opi to Enugu town constructed by Chime (I think). That road passed through an area no one expected, was well tarred and cut your journey to Enugu. It was a better alternative to passing the federal government road which was in a state of disarray.

Rochas is the only governor I know that have replicated such, although I wish he took the idea out of Owerri to other areas

If Rocha's did not construct it with substandard materials by now they won't be reconstruction on the road. That money would have been used to build another road

People saying Buhari is wicked. If wike was president I am not sure sowore or Nnamdi KANU will be alive

Mumu way enter seat, e never even reach 1year in government house and he has already stolen #19billion. And some mumus were busy protesting for him

FlordFlorez:
Why 20 airport for Christ sake. How many international tourist centers we got? What have we got that has potential to attract foreigners? Nothing! Its purely political. Even USA with 300+ million population and the world most visit country are not obsessed of building airports like this. We have a long way to go. I'm afriad Nigeria might not get better in this generation and the next atleast.

I won't lie, if only Nigeria was a tourist country the airports would have been viable. But Nigerians are very poor, flight is not a necessity in Nigeria to alot of Nigerians its a luxury, that's y so many people once they just reach the airport they start taking picture's.

Nigeria is still a poor country.

Reference:
What have I been saying for two.decades. Nigeria is too poor to run an aviation industry.

Transportation is all about numbers and we simply donot have enough people within the bracket (the middle class) of those who travel by air in other nations.

That is why the average lifespan of Nigerian airlines from inception to bankruptcy is 15 years. The turnover in the industry is staggering.

That is why I view in absilute diaguat more and more states building airports, the latest being Anambra and Abia and wasting taxpayers funds in procuring commercial aircraft like in the sad case of Akwa Ibom.

What goverments at the state level should have been doing with these massive amounts invested in transportation is building high speed rail links. Rail transport has remained the most viable, most economical and the most profitable means of transport for tje past 200 hundred years everywhere in the world.

Wirh high speed rail you may not get to Lagos from Abuja in a 45 minute flight but it is possible in 3 to 4 hours, at a fraction of the ticket cost and with greater versitality in the number of stops and the the cargo handling capacity.

Already we have a model success in the Abuja/Kaduna rail line that has carried more passengers in the five years of operations than perhaps all the airlines in Nigeria have carried in the last decade.

Another advantage of rail travel is that it is very easy to create a class structure that sells tickets lower than road transport for the poor and better than the best first class air travel experience for the wealthy. It is well known that the rail travel business introduced sleeping berths and full restaurants decades before they were considered in the air.

Finally, if Nigeria had a proper structure of devolution of powers the Federal Goverment need not bear all the burden of building Nigeria's rail network. States can build these lines under license from border to border and generate revenue from the rolling stock passing through, the Federal Goverment being the referee in this game, the supervising agency.

Without a middle class destroyed by decades of military rule with the nod of the feudal forces holding Nigeria captive, the airline industry can never be viable.

With the return of the trains a lot of airports will become very useless

Grgton:
Enugu Airport not viable?? what kinda con3, is this. then why waste resources in reparing some facilities there

Enugu get hope see this;

“But in the north, you will have to shut down Sokoto, Bauchi, Gombe, Minna, and Ilorin maybe, among others. In the west, maybe Akure. Hence, it becomes highly political and more dangerous."

Romanoff:
The cost of flying to Ilorin on return ticket is approximately 100k. How many people can afford that?

Go to Royal Riders transport company and see how many people travel by road to Ilorin on a daily basis. You'll see that it is not for lack of passengers that the airport is not raking revenue but for affordability. Bring down the cost of the air fares and you'll get a lot of traffic.

U can't imagine how more useless the airports will become once the trains return

LoL

Its as a result of the influx of travellers from the north, they either use Abia or IMO to Get into the state

If u know how much south Africans hate Nigerians u won't be putting this nonsense here
