Not surprised. You don't expect an aircraft to land in a glorified motor park

glorified? You go school at all?

Shinjawestside:
What will the poor people of ebonyi do with airport....

They need jobs...

Alot of ebonyi youths are in Lagos selling gala and doing househelp works..

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and Southwest

how do you know they’re Ebonyi people?

nedekid:
Bros, the point is that the airport is not commecially feasible. If it is not, airlines will not go there.
Anyway, on a positive note, maybe the state will buy aircrafts and charge people free, or finance eg 100 seater aircraft's flying eg 10% capacity.
As for anambra airport, that state is a commercial hub, an example of a viable airport.

oga stop crying for ebonyi airport we no beg you

hammerT:
THEY ARE VERY USELESS IGBO PEOPLE.


THOSE TYPE CULTISM HAVE DESTROY EVERY ATOM OF BRAIN CELL IN THEIR HEAD.




NDIZUZU!

Nonexisting:
You, how many times have you been to an airport not to talk of flying? Use Enugu airport, you say no. Oya use your Ebonyi airport, no again rather you run to Peace mass transit. Keep defending stupidity. Mtchew

cry me a river, bad belle make E pain you tire
Ebonyi people have stopped using enugu airport

NAC1666:
It should be turned into a shopping mall....the proximity of the airport to that of enugu is close and I don't think Ebonyi state people like flying. The project was a waste of money right from the planning stage

cry me a river

I DONT KNOW WHAT IS YORUBA MEN BUSINESS WITH AIRPORT IN EBONYI.


THERE RAE THINGS THAT I WITNESS, THAT LEAVES ME CONVINCED THAT PERHAPS WE SHOULD NOT SHARE NATIONHOOD WITH YORUBA.



THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT AIRPORT ANYWHERE ELSE, JUST THE ONE WE BUILT IN IGBO LAND.

some of those people complaining are Igbo people who don’t like Dave Umahi and want to pull his name down. Notice the lamentation started the day he was nominated a minister?

hammerT:
ANYBODY THAT WANT AIRPORT IS FREE TO GO AND BUILD AIRPORT.


EBONYI HAVE BUILD THEIR OWN.



EBONYI STILL NEED TO BUILD A SECOND TERMINAL.


SO, THE TEARS WILL BE DOUBLE.

i swear

des4ella:
It's less than 1 hour 30mins sef.

and so? We no want use enugu airport

miracle1997:
Bro, it's common knowledge, ebonyi and Enugu is 30minutes apart, Enugu is adjudged as international airport, based on the closeness, there shouldn't be an airport, there's no major trade area in ebonyi etc. That billions should have gone into other things...

we still don’t want to use enugu airport. Thanks

ednut1:
Same thing I said on another thread. Some people abused me. Airports being built by these governors are just to embezzle money from the construction contracts. Enugu airport is just 1 hour 30 mins away without traffic

we don’t want to use enugu airport is it by force?

Racoon:
Dave Umahi is an untiring workaholics but this airport thing is a big dent to him.

how is building an airport a dent? You people dey ment

ChiefS:
It's a high risk to resign as a serving senator. What if tribunal sacks Tinubu? What if Tinubu quarrels with him or feels he has performed abysmally and removes him from office?

senate is safer but he will be closer to inner caucus of government and attend weekly federal executive council as a Minister. Also, his mane and presence and performance will be felt more as a Minister than Senator, imagine a performing Minister will be felt more than a performing senator. Thirdly, he’s far more experienced in politics than us so he knows which one best suits his ambitions going forward as he politically prepares to be a VP to a northern candidate after tinubu.

But if Tinubu is disqualified, he loses all if he picks the minister position. For him it’s a big gamble but May the will of God in his life be done.


In the end, I dnt think Tinubu will lose grip of this presidency. He’ll sell Lagos to Chinese and bribe Supreme Court judges in billions of dollars if he has to.

Bobloco:
So because he does well for himself as a politician, automatically he can become a leader in Igbo land

Maybe what is obtainable in your area is that as long as you can become a politician, either by hook or crook automatically you are a leader

But in Igbo land, Selfish politicians who looted the people's patrimony don't become leaders though they might have sycophants who cheer them up but they can't be leaders in Igbo land

Look at what has become of Rochas okorocha after becoming the governor of Imo State for eight good years, his name is in the dustbin of history

Dave Umahi name can never be in the dustbin of history

mrvitalis:
Is there any Igbo state that has produced more Igbo leaders than ebonyi I dare you to name one

apart from Anyim Pius and Akanu Ibiam who else?

mrvitalis:
No Igbo man hates David umiah... We just don't like his autocratic behavior

He is a performer yes but God fatherism can't work in Igbo land

but God Fatherism must work when it’s an Anambra man like Obi, right ?

A matter of inferior Ibos can’t lead NdiIgbo in central politics, right ?

ChukwukaEze:
Pray he doesn't handle his constituency the way he handled the state. Too opinionated

he’s a senator and also a minister.

paramakina202:
You can't impose leaders on Igbos.
Dave Umahi is doing well for himself and his state that is all.

so someone that does well for himself as a politician and did well for his state can’t be a leader of Igbos? Or is it because he’s from an “inferior clan of Ebonyi”, unlike Obi Anambra and Ott Abia ?

mrvitalis:
No Igbo man hates David umiah... We just don't like his autocratic behavior

He is a performer yes but God fatherism can't work in Igbo land

Godfatherism can’t work in Igbo land but Obi campaigned and installed his stooge Obiano. Dave Umahi has done nothing wrong.

A senator, deputy senate leader and Minister at same time

You lots said APC has never won local elections in Ebonyi but governorship and house of assembly and senators all cleared.

Now stop hating on Dave Umahi, the torchbearer as far as National Politics is concerned in Igbo land in the Current Government


Another person to watch out for is Hope Uzodinma.

Dafresh:
Can Dave Umahi be a Senator and a Minister at the same time?

he will step down from one.

Alusiizizi:
As far as I can tell, that entire culture and their people are done. I always tell folks, the only way to destroy a society, completely and irreversibly, is to destroy a single generation. Throw bombs at them and they will rebuild. Shoot bullets at them and the remainder among them will repopulate and grow stronger, but lead just one generation of their society into that abyss that you described for us and that society will never return. I imagine that their only hope now is to be absorbed somehow by their less corrupted neighbors.

They revolt against the solution which you advised. I’m sure you see their hate towards SE their only neighbours.

Not just AKWA IBOM, Rivers , Delta. Bayelsa and Cross Rivers too, it's the same situation across the nitre Niger delta

why does the tradition in the vast niger delta states do not frown against illegitimate children? It’s such a norm and breeds uncontrollable youths when they grow up. Sometimes unproductive too.

FreeStuffsNG:
Some years ago, I witnessed this dysfunctional social 'epidemic' in Bayelsa but I expect this should have reduced or stopped now. Your own account sounds recent though. There's a Yoruba adage that if a family/community is peaceful, it's because the illegitimate children in that family/ommunity have not grown up.

Any society I see serious upheavals, this adage is the first thing that comes to my mind. I know this for a fact that if you are a legitimate child of a family/community, you will never want violence and wanton blood shedding in your family/community. It is this wisdom that Solomon used to know the real mother of the baby that two women were laying claims to. The woman who requested that the baby be split into two halves clearly is an illegitimate mother.

This morbid fear of having illegitimate children in a family/community is why the Yoruba do rites on newborns and have special traditional methods of 'pushing' out illegitimate children in a family if the mother doesn't confess. That illegitimate child will misbehave in a manner that he/she and the mother will şesin (be exposed) and it's unfortunate because it's no fault of the illegitimate child. That is why in Yorubaland, an adopted child has a stake in the family than an illegitimate child.

Any society producing illegitimate children have no future. That's why some families and communities are today non existent because they have been erased by a plaque of illegitimate children.

you’re wise

livebyday:
What can they do? These are states with an endemic toxic and destructive culture of corporate begging from the community level.

In the height of militancy I was station in the region in bayelsa to the precise , I worked in community liaison and visited all these estates deeply and intimately related with communities and I can tell you that thebfoundatuional ideology from the hon setting in the Niger delta is flawed. And breeds criminals not good focused youths.on paper they tell you that they are traditionally fishermen. That's a farce.

The youths have tmbeen raised by a wolf traditional their forefathers begging and holding IOCs and other multinationals in the region hostage to feed them

A culture that encourages under aged drinking and immorality.

A culture that encourages drunkenness and wild unchecked behaviour .

A culture o unmarried pregnancy with an 90% population made up o fatherless children

The traditional beliefs that make up the major ethnic groups is very weak in the Niger Delta state
It's very common to find an unmarried girl of say 22 having 2 kids from different men living in her father's house and it is not frowned upon at all
I saw countless cases of incest patricide and such which is called a community affair .


The culture is ruthless retrogressive savage and destructive

Until the issues in the Niger Delta are addressed from a foundational point the entire south will continue to witness an endless supply of willing criminals easily used as kidnappers robbers assassins etc

It seems like you’re describing akwa ibom where i lived for 9 years.

Incest, fatherless babies, mothers with no husbands, drinking, full everywhere.


It was very difficult for me to adjust at first because fatherless children are not normal where I’m from unless the father is DEAD, but i eventually adjusted.

They have stopped using military to silence us and have start to use courts


Court silence ASUU


Court silence NLC

Be like Ebonyi government dey award indigenes who break Guineas record

Make i go find record wey i go break collect even if na to talk for 1week as am indigene

Georgejeez:
What I don't understand is , the Law lecturers teaching law students to become Lawyers in the various Universities are members of ASSU .

How come ASSU couldn't get professional legal advice and still went ahead to sue Non Existent bodies which haven't been cloaked with the garments of Incorporation ?

Lemme not even talk about the 3rd ground of misspelling , shows that many of her personnel are outdated and not competent.

Have you seen that ASUU are incompetent?

ASUU has finally been weakened

Why are you against anything Southeast except Ebonyi?? Be guided bro

because idiots from other states like to oppress and insult Ebonyians
