We already got one of the two international terminal.

We are going for the second.

Igbo presidency is even around the corner, so guess wat, u are wasting your time, becos we will get a second terminal that even Port Harcourt will never have, simply becos the eastern igbos have rejected Port Harcourt.

Enjoy ur airport with the Ijaws, we are happy u got one.

From Enugu to Aba , if the road is well maintained, will be Maximum of 3hrs journey, 3hrs is even much, but we can work with it.

Enugu to the rest of major SE towns and cities is not far either.

Yes, Enugu is the Aviation hub of the Eastern region. The SS can choose between Calabar, Bini and Ph. Good on them.

The way our people travel alot, if we get AIIA working, it will be massive.
The best option is to start working on the eastern railway line and make it principal airport shuttle for both cargo and person.

A ring road will also be a good idea along side coach serves and taxi.

Road maintenance should be state govenment priority and money claimed from Federal government.

You will always be able to separate real Anambra people from online impostors because. Real Onye Anambra though naturally full of confidence in his town and Anambra identity, which often rub off other Igbos as arrogancy, will always fight fiercely for the benefit of Igboland, because an Anambra person is a proud Igbo man.
When a person who supposedly claim to be from Anambra is never found engaging in e-fight with many Igbophobic entities from SW on this forum who are usually out to denigrate Ndiigbo(including Anambra) , but instead always found hiding behind Anambra to insult Ndiigbo.
When a supposedly Anambra man would have Igboland underdeveloped, while vital infrastructure are cited to foreign hostile land.

Then know that you are dealing with a real impostor.
Unu anugo...


We are Anambra men fighting for Enugu international airport.


Anambra will always prioritise Igbo interest.


This is why other states like Ebonyi envy us but truth be told, Ebonyi will only fight for Ebonyi, same Imo and Abia but Anambra is a regional power.

The far eastern half of Rivers was never Ijaw.

The Ijaw simply took advantage of the war to occupy them.

Similarly, port Harcourt was an Igbo City, never Ijaw.

They took advantage of the war to occupy the city.

Diete-Spiff became Gov of Rivers State with one mission, which is to take land from the Igbos.

It was never about abandoned property but the land on which the property were occupying in Port Harcourt.

Similarly, mass occupation of Bonny and Opobo by Ijaw was encouraged.

During this period, Ibani was introduced in School and a decree passed to stop the islanders from speaking Igbo.

However, despite all effort, the people of bonny intermarried with the Ijaw, but kept the Igbo language.


Wat more can we Ndiigbo ask, since it is us that are in need of deep seaport.

We simple add them to Ohanaeze, along side Ogoni.


Those Who Shaped Rivers
By The Tide - May 27, 201705209
Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter

Major Isaac Adaka Boro
Selfless. Bold. Courageous. Powerful. Influential. Athletic. Enigmatic. They were all these and more. The Pathfinders, Great Lives who shaped Rivers State.
A time like this is a time to reflect, and in reflecting, the past comes alive, especially when attempting to capture, even if adumbratively, the life (and times) of an unforgettable gallery of men who, like magnificent colossuses, traversed the trobbing firmament of their callings, to the glory of the state.
The list is obviously inexhaustive: the heroes, the titans, the politicians, the moguls, the activists, the academics, the artists, the environmentalists, and others in the crucible of history. Thus, we shall only dwell briefly on the few who spent better part of their youth to provide the platform upon which the demand and ultimate creation of the state was realized, including, however, a superficial appraisal of some public men of the Alfred Diete-Spiff era (May 27, 1967 to 1975).
But before we adumbrate on that, let us recall the spirit of self determination that gave birth to the history of the struggle for the creation of an administrative unit to embrace the diverse ethnic groups that make up Rivers State. This is moreso as it would provide an insight into how most of the dramatis personae in that struggle ultimately served in different capacities under Diete-Spiff.
Let us first state that the struggle for the creation of Rivers State was publicly carried out under various names and organizations both at home and abroad.
Some of them were the Ijaw Rivers Peoples league, Ijaw State Union, Ijaw National Union, Rivers State Movement, Rivers Chiefs and People Conference, Rivers Study Group and Council of Niger Delta Rehabilitation.
Others were Gesi Ijaw Union, Niger Delta Congress, Ijaw Union, Niger Delta Volunteer Service of Late Major Isaac Adaka Boro, Oil Rivers People league, just to mention a few.
Through petitions, resolutions, welcome addresses, memoranda, special delegations and parliamentary debates by elected representatives of the people, both the regional and central government authorities in the country were pressured to recognize the unanimous yearnings and aspirations of the people inhabiting the compact expense of the Niger Delta territory which include present day Rivers and Bayelsa States.
During the 1967 – 1970 fratricidal civil war in Nigeria, Major Isaac Adaka Boro, Captain Amangala, Captain Nyanayo, Warrant Officer Nothingham Dick and many others died without witnessing the eventual creation of Rivers State.
The rest, it is said, is history. But suffice it to say that that history recorded the survival of a few Rivers sons in the libreration struggle. They were Mr. Timmy Samuel Owonaro, Chief Harold Dapp-Biriye, Chief Melford Okilo, Chief Ben-Wari, Chief E.A.D. Alikor, Chief O,M, Asisi-Abbey, Chief I.J. Fiberesima, Mr. J.M. Areweriyai and Chief M.E. Soba.
Others were Mr. Wenike Briggs, Mr. S.N. Dikibo, Mr. D.T. Ayawari, Justice R.P.G. Okara, Dr. Obi Wali, Chief Nwaobidike Nwanodi, Chief Edward Kobani and Mr. Francis Ellah.
In recognition of the role played by these illustrious sons of Rivers State, the first Military Governor of the State, Commander Diete-Spiff named Dappa-Biriye, Nwanodi, Obi Wali, as members of his cabinet. While Dappa-Biriye was Commissioner for Agriculture, Fishery and natural resources, Nwanodi was incharge of health, and Wali, Rehabilitation.
Others were Chief E.J.A. Oriji, Economic Development, Trade and Industry, Chief S.F. Kombo Igbeta, Establishment; Dr. Nabo Graham-Douglas (SAN), Justice/Attorney-General; Mr. Oluke Ngei, Works, Lands, and transport; and Dr. W.T. Wakama, Local Government and Information.

Incensed by the injustice and inequalities of his time, Dappa-Biriye, more than anyone else, championed the creation of Rivers State, forming various groups, including the Rivers Chiefs and Peoples Conference (RCPC) and the Niger Delta Congress (NDC). He also played active role alongside Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tafawa Balewa and others in achieving independence for Nigeria.
He had held several state and federal appointments. For a life devoted to the public service of Nigeria, Dappa-Biriye was honoured with an award of the Officer of the Order of the Niger on October 1, 1980. He died in 2005.

Nke anyi bu nke anyi.

It’s strategically better to dredge the Imo river up to Ndoki land and build a port there than to build one at Opobo (that is an island), currently inaccessible from the mainland except by watercraft. The cost of connecting the mainland by land (ideally highway and rail) to Opobo may even exceed the cost of dredging the short distance from Ndoki to the sea. The only other cost is taking care of that bridge between Ogoni and Akwa Ibom.

Moreover, King Jaja’s children are now Ijaws.
Dat is not accepted.

If we do wat we are suppose to do, u will find that they are also igbo as they have claimed several times.

Igbo land is not shrinking but expanding.

The best decision is to get the port in Abia and also the one on the island of Opobo as a deep seaport.

I see no reason why Opobo and Bonny cannot be invited to Ohanaeze ahead of a possible deep seaport, after completion of all River port in southeast.

I would rather prefer to develop a very good and standard river port in the east first rather than building a sea port elsewhere.
And i am fully in support of developing world class River port across igbo land first.

They are clearly his primary target.
Amaechi is targeting the densely populated Southern Igboland ( Abia and Imo), they are the ones mostly targeted by that Ph airport nonsense.

We would need to appeal to their sense of Igbo unity, oneness and patroitism to make them resist that temptation, seeing how proximity factor makes Ph airport more convenient for them.
We must make them understand that for Igboland to progress, we all need to make tactical sacrifices.

Also, the government of Enugu must play her own role, by ensuring that the Aba-Enugu portion of Enugu-PH express road is in perfect condition. The SE governors should discuss these things in their meetings.
Intra state road networks connecting Enugu to Imo state need to be worked on and made 100% motorable.

A pan SE railway network, connecting Enugu to Owerri, Orlu, Okigwe, Umuahia, Aba, Arochukwu, Awka, Abakaliki, Onitsha, Nnewi, Ekwulobia, etc, is also a viable futuristic option and exactly what our governors should be discussing in their forum.
Amaechi has played a very fast one here.

Question should be wat was Rochas doing in APC?

Where Ndiigbo are suppose to be wise, they turn dull.

I sometimes wonder if it was not for STELLA ODUAH but rather an Igbo man appointed Aviation minister, if we would even have any airport in Enugu at all.

U all know Stella son paid the price for that airport at the end.(murdered)

This is y I support giving Igbo women a chance.
