So Anambra started the civil war? These are idiotic illiterates that should be caged for not being able to educate themselves before coming to the public to disgrace themselves. Why are you dumb illiterates with phones always quick to spew nonsense? You are a real tout here. If someone says he doesn't want to marry you, is that why you should be crying on this thread and breaking your head? Tufia lol
[s]
FlamieB: 'Stay in your state'' wannabe. Lol... If indeed you are from Anambra as you claimed, you just disgraced your people by that your statement ''stay in your state, marry from your state''. All this otu Onitsha touts with smart phone disgracing their state. Lolou are fighting Fulani, Hausa, Yoruba, other Igbo states and even Aguleri and Umuleri abi what are they calling it. Only you? And Ojukwu is from Anambra that started the war against Nigeria. What's you people's problem? Tufiakwa
globemoney: You just spoke my mind 100%!!! I dont know why people are hear arguing with charlatans why Anambra does not need an airport that is already more than halfway completed. They can as well argue Enugu, Rivers, Lagos etc does not need an airport. Instead of making noise on nairaland and crying over spilled milk, they can as well team up and go to the site to end work there! Ndi Ara
What I'm very concerned now is that Anambra Airport must be named after Willie Obiano.. I was so happy to see you say that because I already started that campaign myself.. For him to be visionary enough to take on that project when other individuals will be complaining of lack of funds, like the previous governor, and other things he has done in the state, he deserves that honor. Afterall Akwa Ibom Airport was named after Akpabio.
No need to waste time with enemies of progress against the airport, 10 years from now they will see what we see now, on why Anambra deserves its own airport
Mgbeke drop your pictures and phone numbers so I can call you now to meet you.
Ayrastarr: Come to Onitsha and see me live and direct.I no dey hide�Drop contact make I show you my picture. Wonder how I got recommended to your Nnewi brothers for marriage? Even when I'm not from Anambra? Na because say I fine.My beauty dey pour reach ground sef. Lol Lol!!!!!!!!!

Imagine the way they look at me when I tell them I'm from ImoLike it's a curse to come from Imo state. Abeg!
[/s]

Ayrastarr: Please, remove beautiful.our women be looking like a Man.ery muscular women.Only Achebe and Amanda?We are talking about the average Anambra man
[/s]
Name your state lets roll out facts and figures. Anambra produces the best of human capital in Nigeria. The most beautiful , intelligent and decent girls are from Anambra. Mention just one person that's at the same level with Chimamanda or Achebe from your useless state.
ThatEnuguboi: Hahahahahaha, this one really pained you to the Marrow, please remember to take paracetamol before you sleep D
[/s]

Does your useless state have anyone like Achebe or Chimamanda, for instance?? Anambra people are heads, shoulder and taller and more beautiful and more educated more decent than anyone from your cursed state.
[s]
Ayrastarr: jYes, I am. nd you know what? You all are Arrogant. Very arrogant! You all also lack Manners and you all feel like the world revolves around Anambra! Fine, una no fine. ook smart? Zero!God just compensated you all with Business sense apart from that, Nothing Nothing. Lol!'m just angry that after knowing all this, I will still end up with with one of my Nnewi suitors. THIS LIFE IS VERY FUNNY. LOL!

Of course I had to run away from a pig. Go to Abia thread and face your Abia1stS0N. He has chased you out of your own thread where you are busy churning out propaganda
China is all about propaganda. That's the same thing they are doing with China Global Television Networks in America. China media is all out to demarket the West just so they can rise. The West must wake up from their liberalism.
See this pig, he is so confused. We are not discussing about failed states here. Please focus on your failed Abia state
[s]
eduj: My brother, many of those kicking against that Airport project aren't igbos but actually Anti-igbo goons on Nairaland. They create numerous monikers one for each state in the SE ,and the use those monikers to ferment trouble and disunity among the SE. For instance, yesterday I found out that FOXDOSSIER is also ABIASTATE1STSON (dude has many more names). Just ask them where they are from or write igbo for them, and you will see them running.
Lol you have effectively disgraced and embarrassed that clown with fact and figures. Thank you for coming through
ChimaAdeoye: Nwokem, stop deluding yourself with silly argument! Ordinarily i ignore people like you that it is obvious are motivated by primitive envy. But it is important to point out a few things because i have seen many like you here and even on facebook spilling bile just because a fellow state in the south east is finally getting an airport? Meanwhile every state in the south south has at least one airport! About 80 - 90% of states in the northwest, north central and even northeast have airport! Infact Anambra airport will only be the 3rd airport in the entire southeast region, which is the lowest number of airports among the 6 geopolitical regions! Some of you are truly pathetic.
Anyway, back to your argument; Does Lagos have an airport? YES! Is there any part of Lagos beyond 100 KM from the Lagos airport? No! If Lagos did not have an airport with its economic indices and an airport exists in Ibadan, Would Lagos build an Lagos airport? YES!!! For a FACT! In fact, Lagos is planning a SECOND International airport at Eko Atlantic city and it is well deserved if that city takes off.
So why are you twisting your head comparing apples and oranges, and thinking we are all brain dead that can't tell the difference? Again the same argument was made against owerri airport with many like you saying it will cause PH and Enugu airports to close down. Did Owerri airport cause Enugu and PH airports to close down? When ASUTECH was established in 1980s, many similarly called creation of state universities the "proliferation of universities" when Nigerians had not filled the quota capacity of UNN. Today, the same people are calling for more federal universities in their new states claiming the existing STATE universities are insufficient! Mind you, the same state university was a campus of ASUTECH! Do you now get where i am going? Out of respect, i will not mention the name of the politician.
NO IGBOMAN SHOULD CASTIGATE ANY DEVELOPMENT IN IGBOLAND JUST BECAUSE ITS NOT IN HIS STATE. Afterall, Stella Oduah fought for Enugu airport to become international and she is still paying the price for the bitterness it generated with other tribes in Nigeria. Let us learn to appreciate and support good things wherever we see them in Igboland, and stop joining those with hidden agenda to make Igboland the backyard of Nigeria without airports, seaport or any critical infrastructure whatsoever.
Since in your mind, Igbo nation deserves only one airport at Enugu, why don't you simply advice the Enugu state government to build the expressway from Ugwuoba to Enugu so that coming from Anambra will be easier? In any case, it will cost more than N100 billion to build that distance of expressway which is clearly beyond the financial capacity of Enugu state unless Nigeria is restructured so that states collect taxes on a lot of things and toll gates.
Enugu will always be the capital of Igboland and No airport or mansion built outside Enugu is big or important enough to take that away. But we should be happy to see development in all parts of Igboland. Knowing that we live in a country with deliberate conspiracy to make Igboland the Poto-poto capital of Nigeria. But they are not God! That is why i also support the development of an Ebonyi International airport because it will boost the development of Ebonyi state. i would be at the forefront to encourage the next Abia Governor to prioritize an airport somewhere between Aba - Umuahia to also support speedy access to the state. I would support regional railway network as the Federal Government has refused to build any railway in Igboland. But prefers to build it in a foreign country Niger Republic!
Like all fair-minded onye Igbo, you should be happy that infrastructure denied the southeast by the oppressive federal government is finally being built by the state! Just see how you delude yourself turning and twisting deluded arguments to find any reason to justify the injustice that Anambra does not deserve an airport? It's shameful bro that any Igboman should reason like that. Just too shameful. I hate that i had to reply you in social media too. It's totally repugnant for me to address this behavior in public.
Mechiionu nsi gi. See how you are embarrassing yourself here. Chimaadeoye has really dragged you around with facts and figures.
Go home and cry your heart out because Anambra international airport has come to stay and it will be the busiest airport in Nigeria after Lagos and Abuja because most air travelers outside these two cities live in Anambra. Again, you are not from Anambra, let everyone here note that.

Obi1kenobi: 1) I'm from Anambra. Lose the sentiments and focus on the substance of the argument.) Ebonyi's airport is an equally insane vanity project) All the other states you're calling didn't need an airport either. Well, maybe a few Northern states other than Kano due to the vast landmass and issues of accessibility may need airports. Anambra's airport considering the accessibility of surrounding airports is a dumb vanity project.) An airport will not support Anambra's economy. It will be a net drain on resources which will rot like most public utilities in Nigeria rather than a source of growth and revenue. Stop deceiving yourselves with fantasies. Arguably as many high net-worth individuals (the kind of people who would use airports) live in states like Enugu and Delta than Anambra and airports have not turned those states to Dubai.No state "deserves" anything. That's like saying I "deserve" my own private jet. Who are these experts that identified the need for an Anambra airport? You've already proven why it's a vanity project by pointing out Onitsha was earmarked for an airport but Delta pre-empted this by establishing one in Asaba which is separated from Onitsha by a bridge. Therefore in still choosing to build an airport when Asaba airport can easily serve all Onitsha travelers, you're proving that it's just an ego trip to sate your vanity, so that you can say "we sef get our own airport". Airports are money guzzlers and pretty damn hard to maintain. It's hard enough maintaining the only 2 commercially viable airports in Nigeria in Lagos and Abuja. To believe this can be undertaken in Anambra is a fanciful delusion.can guarantee you nobody has ever claimed the emboldened above. Nobody. Some of you are just so wrapped up in victim narratives that you victimize yourselves even when no one is victimizing you. Of course airports are needed in the East. A tiny state like Anambra surrounded by accessible airports does not need to prioritize a vanity white elephant project when the state is lacking in so much critical infrastructure that will actually impact the lives of taxpayers. The only international airport in the whole East (I'm including both the SE and SS) that is even close to being viable is Port Harcourt airport. It's funny how this airport was marketed as a cargo airport as if air freight which is very expensive will ever be a primary means of international freight in a shiithole like Nigeria. It's also funny to see you comparing American states to Nigeria. New Jersey has a far bigger GDP than the whole of Nigeria. New York's GDP is about 4 times the whole of Nigeria's. Infact, 15 American states each have a bigger GDP than the whole of Nigeria. And you're comparing their need for airports with Anambra's. Will you also compare the need for stadia in America to Anambra. If we decide to build a 100,000 seater stadium in Anambra like some NFL or MLB teams in the US, do you think it will be a viable money spinner like American stadiums or it will just rot like the national stadiums on life support in Nigeria. Which do you think is likely?
Nwanne you are too much. I dey remove cap for you. See how you dismantled those demons with facts and figures. These are witches in broad day light. They attack any good thing they see. Obiano envisaged these demons when he decided to build the international airport without media publicity. Good job
ChimaAdeoye: Again the clown kept mentioning the unviability of Birnin-Kebbi airport, Gusau airport, Gombe airport and the likes as their reason why airports should not be built in even viable places!
Again, in 1982 when the President Shagari's administration wanted to build an airport in Onitsha despite knowing there was an airport in Enugu, it was purely based on economic reasons! Now Shagari did not mention building an airport in Birnin Kebbi because he knew it didn't make the same economic sense as a federal airport in Onitsha!
But the Nigerian tribal factor ensured the Onitsha airport was never built! Instead they used the funds to build airports in Makurdi and Yola! Again, i would expect those fake airport viability economists to come and tell me that if Onitsha airport had been built the same time as Markudi and Yola airports, it would have been unviable like the others.
We all know Anambra deserves an airport and we all know it will be one of the most viable in the country. So why throw that silly argument that Nigeria built unviable airports in Potiskum out of tribalism and it didn't work, so don't build airport in Anambra or Lagos where airports are indeed needed?
Also the silly argument that one airport is in Enugu which is 100 KM away would have made sense if the roads were maintained to the highest standards and the airport in Enugu equipped with the proper equipment to enable it function as a true international airport that can take any type of plane from anywhere in the world. After all the brouhaha of closure of the Enugu airport for one whole year, the FG still did not elongate the #KM runway by one inch, did not build a taxiway and did not install ILS Cat 2 Systems to enable it function as a true International airport. Yet, they have devoted N30 billion naira to install these facilities at Katsina airport! Which rarely receives even domestic flights! It all goes to tell you that they are not sincere about their argument. It is merely a ploy to keep you down perpetually while citing bogus incoherent argument that does not match the reality on the ground.
See video of the marvelous expressway between Enugu and Anambra for those people pretending that an expressway of less than 100 KM exist between Enugu and Anambra. Those of you pretending that they didn't know that it takes more than 5 hours to drive from Enugu to Anambra on the so called "Federal Expressway!
Well said. These clowns knows all these facts you have stated but because they have evil in their mind toward the airport project, there evil mind won't allow them to think nor reason like normal people. That explains why they have been doing everything possible on this thread. But unfortunately for them while they were here yapping and crying the actual work on the project was ongoing on site.
ChimaAdeoye: Why this airport pains you people so much is still a huge mystery.
Now look at Anambra and compare its economic indices to other states in Nigeria. Bayelsa state built an airport to support its economy, yet you were not hysterical about it. Akwa Ibom also did! Just like Bauchi, Taraba, Yobe, Nasarawa! Even Delta state built a SECOND airport in Asaba simply because Anambra refused to support its economy with an airport!
Now we all know that Anambra indeed deserves an airport. Infact, it is among the top 5 states in Nigeria where experts had previously identified the need for an airport to support commercial activities and ease of doing business. If Nigeria were not such as anomalous place, the Federal Government would have completed the Anambra airport that Alh. Shehu Shagari identified as a critical national infrastructure in 1982!
Again, people from Enugu are first to claim that Anambra airport would diminish the importance of Akanu Ibiam international airport. This is purely nonsense and gross ignorance as 90% of the Onitsha business community still use Lagos airport for their trips to China. Also if you have lived abroad, you will know that airports don't operate like bus parks where every plane will go to London from nearby airport or go to New York from nearby airports. Enugu airport can focus on Asian cities and Asian airlines while Anambra airport focuses on European cities or European airlines or vice versa. It is exactly how Port harcourt airport flies to routes that are different from route flown through Enugu airport. There is a reason for that! Airports within drivable distances often focus on different niches so that people going to a specific geographical parts of the world will fly in or out through one airport.
The sad thing with the experience of Igbos in Nigeria is that we were held down for too long by telling us that an airport in Enugu will close down Lagos airport and all those nonsense that we have come to believe these falsehoods as fact. It is a shame when i see some people simply argue against Anambra airport because of the unfounded fear that the airport in their state will "close" or turned into a bus park if they allow an airport anywhere else in the southeast. One even said we should build one airport like America in New York and use it. I laughed so hard and told the girl that America has more than 50 airports of the size and capability of JFK. Yet it is only 1.5 times greater than Nigeria's population! Not t mention that within a space of between New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, there are 5 MEGA international airports to serve a population size less than Lagos! Not to mention Logan International in Boston! Yet, all the airports are doing fine because some focus on Canada and Caribbean flights, some focus on Europe, Some Focus on Asia and Africa, etc. The village mentality that if development spreads, then my area will not be developed is how Nigeria has kept itself undeveloped by refusing to develop certain parts of the country. You guys should know that the Nigerian state's ideology is a sick man's ideology and stop brining it into Igboland.
You are calling a governor a clown, it is actually your own useless good for nothing father that's a clown.
Enemies of Anambra. Witches from hell, your plan is for Anambra to remain without airport but you demons have failed.
It is vanity project because Anambra is building it, but it is not vanity project in other states. These are demons that Obiano envisaged and decided to build airport without much publicity because they would have succeeded in disrupting the project. Obiano was smart. You guys failed because the project is almost ready for commissioning.
Anambra needs international airport more than all the states in Nigeria except Lagos, but evil creatures like you from hell always come here to spew nonsense.
We don't need your useless advice, our international airport will be ready for use soon. Keep crying over this airport. Evil minded creatures

Obi1kenobi: This is a beautiful article dispensing hard facts. I've told several people in this thread that their airport obsession is driven by their "we sef get our own airport" vanity, and an airport is a white elephant project that will bleed tax-payer resources with no productive returns but they're dreaming that the airport will turn Anambra to Dubai and that somehow, our local businessmen will start using airfreight to transport their goods instead of containers in the sea ports. But applying logic is a waste of time when people can't see past their own vanity-driven pipe dreams. This airport like all other state airports will be handed over to FAAN to manage at massive annual losses. And all this fa state with a very tiny landmass that is already surrounded by airports on all sides. Obiano is a clown and his administration is a failure.
[/s]
Obiorah, Anambra international airport is almost completed, you cannot do anything about the project anymore because your evil mission has failed flat. You are quoting your fellow demon, both of you have failed flat.
Ewu awusa, let's focus on our debate. Abia state is the worst and most backward state in Nigeria. Oya let's go
