Relax baba, how many of this type of talk has helped our economy in recent times or in the past ? Oshiomole for me is a thief and needs money. If ingige had passed through him with the said contractor do you think he will be tackling him? Or is it only igige that didnt follow the rule of law since buhari assume office.
Oahiomole knows how to.prey and feast on the godfatherless member but is afraid of those with God father. We all kmow Amechi is the only perfoming ministsr. Why has not he threathend fashola ? Or is the power failure not affecting you in your area ? Fayemi who is the soon-be gov of ekiti has he been given a clean bill.of health on corruption before going for the gubernatorial election ? This are few question for you to answer.

The people who can afford it would afford it, and it would help grow the economy of the country, which in turn would positively affect the lives of everyone including the poor.

Not every venture must be aimed directly at the poor poor and poor before we accept it is good. Nigeria also has a large middle and upper class who need to be catered for.

I don't think a GSM analogy is valid here. Travellers are different. A national airline involves a lot of international travellers to be profitable. The problem is that they have to pass through your country and airport. Our airports are the worst in the world. Finally, Nigerians can barely feed. What percentage even fly locally? We have serious economic issues. I don't see a profitability path with our current infrastructure.

greenmonk:
Why do people always attack anyone with contrary opinion to yours even the n issues you know nothing about?
If $300m is the total project value what is the cost of a Boeing 777 jet?
Arm chair politicians and economics gurus Kontinu sai baba until we are all buried the shithole we are being led into.

Olawale Olaleye in Lagos and Daji Sani in Yola

In a move widely believed to be pre-emptive and designed to prevent the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) from exploiting issues from the recent political realignments in the country, the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), has finally resolved to change its name ahead of the 2019 general election. THISDAY learnt that PDP, which planned to announce the decision to change its name today, had also pencilled in Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu as the one to head a committee that would walk the party through the procedure.

That was as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar said Saturday in Yola that the federal government led by the APC had failed Nigerians and the people were yearning for change. Atiku stated this at Ribadu Square, in the capital of his home state of Adamawa, at a rally where he formally declared his intention to contest next year’s presidential election on the platform of PDP. He decried the killings in different parts of the country and blamed the APC for visiting insecurity, tragedy, division, and economic misery upon the citizens.
Atiku promised to restore national unity, security of life and property, and economic prosperity if elected president.

THISDAY gathered last night that the decision by the PDP to change its name might have stemmed from last Thursday’s meeting between President Muhammadu Buhari and Senate President Bukola Saraki. Though, details of their discussion were not made public, many in PDP believed that with such sessions, the chances of bringing Saraki back to the PDP could be hampered.

The opposition party had long mooted the idea of name change, but had slowed down on the decision because a majority of its members were not disposed to it, and those who wanted it could not convince the others.

Besides, it was thought that even though the party had switched positions and had become an opposition party, PDP was still the only party with membership in the remotest parts of the country, and the name resonated with a majority of its members and admirers, particularly among the teeming illiterate populations.

But this very thinking had since changed, especially with the prevalent narrative of the ruling party, which is always attacking the PDP as a corrupt party. PDP believes the corruption allegation is the main defence APC has found to justify its continued stay in office, despite widespread belief that it has mismanaged the affairs of the country.

Leaders of the opposition party are, therefore, of the opinion that since the ruling APC may be unable to campaign with a good record on economy and security, the only thing it has going for it is the attempt to de-market the opposition by constantly alluding to corruption allegations. However, once the name changes, leaders of the party reckon, PDP would naturally die with the corruption tag and the engagement would shift to issues-based debate. Many PDP members feel that APC would be unable to sustain such a debate owing to its poor performance in the last three years.

It is also believed that in the run up to 2019, PDP has gained many sympathisers, some of who are, however, uncomfortable with the name because of the baggage that comes with it. The party’s leaders are, therefore, of the view that with the old name gone, PDP’s sympathisers would not only openly identify with it, but most of them would also attract more members, thus putting it in a position of advantage to effectively take on APC in the next election.

Therefore, the assignment before the Ekweremadu committee would be to come up with a name that best suits the party, considering the short time between now and 2019, and also not forgetting that such a name must be easily recalled by illiterate citizens.
Meanwhile, Atiku was well received at his declaration ceremony in Yola, which took place in a carnival-like atmosphere.

And your overtly over Sabi mind I'm sure knows differences between 'cost' and 'capital' in the finance lexicon

sholatech:
Still ambiguous. No where in your link did they specify amount of Government investment so we can't imply it's just 5 percent of the $300m..

One of your link even stated the $300m as the Start up cost....not the total equity required for the airline investment.

OneCorner:
Afonja no dey south.
South is for igbos and Niger Delta

yarimo:
Kikikiki so FAYOSE did not make it?

The Governor of the year for the South of Nigeria goes to Osun State. Congratulations @raufaregbesola

I will give you some historical references. To get Obasanjo as a Yoruba resident, There have been many prominent Yorubas who contested before Obasanjo, e.g Awolowo in 1979, Falae in 1992 Abiola in 1993 when Yorubas insistent has become loud enough Obasanjo was voted in and he allied with many people of other tribes

To get Jonathan presidency there have been many agitation by the SS, Towards 2007 election, Almost all the SS governors came out for president Odili, Ibori, Igbnedion Attah and especially Duke. With his agitation Yar Adua had to pick a Jonathan who ended up being president

Before Buhari in 2015, He has contested for presidency 3 times earlier and lost after which he learned and realigned made some concession, carried people like Tinubu along and won the presidency

In the past 30yrs how many Ibo people have seriously contested for presidency. In 1992 who were the serious Ibo candidates, In 1993 In 1999, In 2003, 2007, 2011 2015 who are the serious candidates from the SE. Toards 2019 which popular SE candidates is coming out for presidency, we are hearing Buhari, Atiku Saraki Dankwanbo Duke how many people from SE have associated with any popular party and made consultations to be president

By Januray 2019 you will now start asking why is there no Ibo president

Which platform has the SE invested in to become their own push for president. Is it PDP, PPA, APGA or which one?
