Randymarsh: Aibus planes are very expensive both in purchasing and maintenance. Plus it ain't meant for 30min-1 hour flights.. They are meant for long distances journeys which airpeace are yet to begin
AIR PEACE FLIES TO CHINA, RUSSIA, USA AND THAT IS FAR.
PROUDIGBO: Well, the Akwa Ibom Governor has thrown down the gauntlet! Was watching Channels news yesterday, and they reported a official visit Timipriye Sylva made to Uyo gov’t house. Governor Emmanuel was telling him of the fantastic airport terminal and other fixtures they’re putting up in their airport. He said it would be unrivalled in Nigeria, and that if any other Nigerian airport is built and is more awesome than theirs, they will pull the one they just built down and build an even bigger one!
lol!
Oil or no oil, Akwa Ibom will always come second to Anambra in all ramifications of life.
Our health sector dwarf their beautiful hospital and Anambra airport will also dwarf their beautiful airport.
According to Nnamdi Kanu, Akwa Ibom means Igbo Junior.
The only way any airport in Alaigbo can rival and even beat the viability of Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt airports is if or when Nigeria disintegrates....or at the very least, is TOTALLY restructured!
This is what i mean when i say, Ndigbo cannot reach her full potential (full potential being competing with the likes of Dubai, Japan, South Korea, and even little landlocked Rwanda) if she is tied down in Nigeria and made to share the same national space with those who’s main purpose in life is to ensure Ndigbo do not measure up to them economically and politically!
But how a people main focus can be Igbo, wen they have the whole world as their Oyster, will never seize to amaze me.
Propsvilla: It is no longer news that Lagos Seaport will soon be decongested and the East will be the next destination for Port activities. With 60% of imports from Lagos Seaport finding it's way to Onistha, it is no doubt that the commencement of shipping of goods to Eastern ports is a welcome development.
Here are some of the ways the Eastern Region will benefit from this move.
Reduction in the rate of Rapid migration to Lagos of people from the region: The rate at which people move to Lagos and Ogun State will reduce drastically as many people will love to stay back in the East.
There will be creation of Jobs: More jobs will be created for people from the Eastern Region and Nigeria as a whole.
Many Companies will relocate to East from Lagos and other part of the Country: Many Company will prefer to Establish their presence in the East than Lagos because many people will pay more attention to Eastern ports than Lagos port in the nearest future. Take for instance many Clearing agents may relocate their Business to East.
Development will hit the Region in Geometric progression: If the region can develop on its own without any City there been a Federal Capital and lack of Functional Seaport unlike Lagos. It shows that with the presence of Seaport in the region, the Development that will hit the region will be unbelievable.
Anambra and Lagos may rub shoulder in terms of Infastructures and Revenue generation. Just inagine the volume of economic activities that will hit Onitsha.
Appreciation in Real Estate Properties: If you are wise and an Investor with foresight, now is the right time to Invest in the Eastern part of the Country. Once huge economic activities hit the region, the value of Lands and other Real Estate properties will appreciate.
Indeed the Future of Eastern Nigeria is Bright

Heads of maritime agencies in Nigeria have agreed to work on modalities for the movement of cargo by barges from Lagos ports to Onitsha, in Anambra state so as to ease traffic in Apapa.
Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr. Bashir Jamoh, disclosed this at a recent meeting of all heads of maritime agencies in Lagos
Jamoh said the meeting constituted a committee to produce a work plan for the 24-hour port system, and agreed to carry communities around the port environments along in order to ensure safe operations within the port vicinities and beyond.
We also agreed to work with the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) on how movement of cargoes from the ports can be done by rail to reduce the pressure on our roads.
“Our focus is also to ensure containers are moved by barges to dry ports outside the port environments. All these would help in the efficiency and effectiveness of our ports.”
Managing Director of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), Hadiza Bala Usman, also emphasised the need for an intermodal transport system in and around the port environments. Usman said Nigeria must prioritise intermodal transportation to reap the benefits of shipping and port activities.
She said the heads of maritime agencies agreed to work with the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) to facilitate movement of cargo from the ports by rail.
Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), Dr. George Moghalu, said safety formed a major part of the discussion.
Well that is a welcome development but very risky due to the long distance.
Wat insurance covers the Cargo, if it capsize?
I think it is best for the Cargo to head to Onitsha fro Eastern ports via Barges. i.e. Onne, Akwa Ibom, Calabar, Warri and potentially another port in Bonny.
Lagos should be by rail or road but rail is the most reliable and safest, due to the distance.
ThatFairGuy1: The way Igbos dishes out insult on ikwere here, Even if they wants to attribute their Origin to th, they'll rethink. Why can't you people be civil while expressing yourselves? MUST you always haul abusive words
Amarabae: Oriaku Amara wishes you all a happy new month. I want to inform everyone here about the truthful origin and genesis of the Ikwerre identity crisis, It didn't start because of the war, No rather it started from slave trade . Ikwerre elders know this truth, during the Aro Confederacy between the Arochukwus,Okrikas, and Ibibios , it was built on Slave trade and other products export, it was a successful partnership that saw a lot of products coming in and going out through okrika waterways, no wonder Igbos call imported reused cloths "Okrika" to point to where it was imported through back in those days, so the Aros captured a lot of innocent people in the Ibo hinterlands and sold them through Okrika waterways , when the British banished slave trade ,they sent a task force to go and arrest those slave traders and free the slaves in cage waiting to be sold, they came and arrested some Aro chiefs including some okrika chiefs who engaged in that evil trade and free those slaves in slavecamps waiting to be sold, since they can't remember where they came from ,they settled in etche forests and some okrika territories, those people are the IKWERRES, they were later populated by etche, Ngwa, ngor okpuala migrants, That is the origin why they started hating people from the Igbo hinterland where Aros came from for trying to sell them, now when the British established port Harcourt for exportation of Enugu coal through rail , the Igbos from hinterlands populated the town which is 80% on Ikwerre land, the hinterland migrants were prospering and having Influence, the ikwerres hated it especially because or these descendants of people who sold some of their people to slave trade , the only way to revenge and take hold of port Harcourt is to deny being Igbo and hate anybody from the hinterland, the civil war gave them the perfect opportunity to implement it, If you read Elechi Amadi works, he once cited that he has no problem with all Igbos or accepting being Igbo but He has an issue with Aros. why? He knows the real truth, The Akalaka and Benin forged migration story is used to beef up their battered self esteem , there is no atom of truth in it. since 1967 The ikwerres have been fighting the truth till date yet they have not succeeded in burying the truth because nothing can defeat the truth. This is the real origin of this whole identity brouhaha, Ask any very elderly Okrika man, he will confirm what I just wrote. Dear Ikwerres, you are free to be whatever you want but You can NEVER be a distinct ethnic nation with Igboid identity, NEVER, drop it and go create your own, Simple. I am not claiming you guys beside it is your son Rotimi Amaechi that goes about claiming being Igbo . history is history, even the Ogonis and Ijaws know ur real history.
Oriaku Amara loves you all.
OUR SISTER AND OUR WIFE, NDI ANAMBRA WIFE, HAVE SPOKEN VERY WELL.
Cosbyrich: You mean you will force them to be Igbos while history and their roots say otherwise?
Prof Dike said Igbos are not indigenous to Delta. Igbos were slaves and migrants that had a large population. Are you debating what historians including Prof Dike said?
Cosbyrich: Amaechi said Igbos came as slaves and migrants to Delta and had the largest population...
In the words of Dr. W B Baikie, who interviewed King William Dappa Pepple of Bonny in Fernando Po in 1854, “the King of New Calabar [Kalabari] and Pepple King of Bonny were of Ibo descent, of which also are the mass of the natives.” The influx of Igbo migrants and slaves into the Delta in the 19th century blurred the lines of earlier migrations and even though there were migrants and slaves from different places including Benis, Efik, Fulani’s etc but the Ibo migrants formed the bulk of the Delta population at that time. Prof Dike noted; that “they bequeathed their language to most of the city-states, Bonny, Okirika, Opobo and to a certain extent, influenced the language and institutions of old and new Calabar. But the population which evolved out of this mingling of peoples, was neither Benin nor Efik, Ibo nor Ibibio. They were a people apart, the product of the clashing cultures of the tribal hinterland and of the Atlantic community to both of which they belonged.” Let me place on record here that a lot of people from the areas described do not accept Igbo ancestry and that should be understood as part of what Isichei, as earlier mentioned, described as ‘constantly mutable reality’.

SLAVERY HAPPENED IN WEST AFRICA TO ALL THE TRIBES AROUND THE COASTAL AREA.
THAT IS HISTORY.
IN THE FUTURE, WE DONT WANT SUBGROUPS CLAIMING SEPARATE ETHNICITY.
Igboid: They can call their organization whatever they want. That's none of our business.
Can you for once focus on main issue and leave sidenotes?
U CLAIM THEY ARE NOT IGBO BUT THE ORGANISATION IS DESCRIBED WITH TWO IGBO WORDS.
WE CANNOT ALL BE INSANE NOW.
Igboid:
This your behavior is annoying. The man is right. Ikwerre And Amaechi are not Igbos. If they are, let Ogbakor Ikwerre issue a public communique on that. Thank you BRACED for helping genuine Igbos fix the con man Amaechi in his place.
Only mentally slow Igbos call Amaechi and Ikwerre Igbo.
