GallantDuke:

Now explain to me how what you wrote above necessitates the construction of an airport in Ebonyi.

Cargo for its Agricultural and mining sector .lots of agribusiness and mining going on.from lead to granite and zinc,in real commercial amounts . I know an Anambra friend that transports large quantities of lead from Ebonyi to his factory in ogun state using trailers. You need to get close to know what is happening. Most granite used in rivers ,Abia, Enugu and cross river are from Ebonyi. There is no atom of exaggeration here ,u can check it out with numerous Agricultural produce

GallantDuke:

There is need for a closer airport to the business me in the commercial city and the Umueri international cargo airport is the solution.

That far village that is even fighting with Aguleri, you're not serious

GallantDuke:

How are those airports in those states faring?

They're serving their purpose after all. If Ebonyi doesn't upgrade and develop their things u will still be among those to ridicule it,allow the development the people want and do same for your state.we are not competing with u guys,make una dey unable dey make we dey our dey too,thank u

GallantDuke:

The Ikom people that I know are farmers and timber operators. So how do you expect them to transport their agricultural products through your airport when they can barely afford that and prefer the usual affordable means of land transportation?

Imagine what u are saying, they don't need to move anything,buyers go to them buy,package and transport. The part of the farmer ends in the farm,you're supposedly from Anambra and u don't know how people go to the North and even China to buy goods and transport it down to onitsha without the sellers disturbing themselves

Edoziesmart:

Baba, I still support the man you quoted. No need for Ebonyi State to build her airport while Enugu is closer. Will they recover the money they used in building it in this generation? Because Ebonyi has a low population judging from abakaliki I had visited often.

Even the motor transport conveying passenger from another state in Nigeria to Ebonyi state is very hard they see passenger that occupied the vehicle seats. That's to tell you very few people travel to or from Ebonyi state to another state in a day.
Umahi should have spent the money on education and other social amenities than this.

Ebonyi is just one of the least populated states in Nigeria just like Bayelsa, Kebbi, Zamfara, etc that has a very low number of visitors daily.

Don't be stupid, there is what we call town planning which drive investors and airport is one.to even make u look more stupid and miserable is that same Bayelsa ,kebbi have airports so why are u this daft

GallantDuke:

The Ebonyi business men in Onitsha, do they book flight to their state whenever they are traveling back or why are you so dumb?

Everyone is using asaba airport thats what I'm saying, no need for that Anambra airport ,Asaba is just across the head Bridge and just 30mins away

Ogbuu101:

I'm from Ebonyi and I'm of d same opinion.
Ebonyi doesn't need an airport now based on scale of preferences.
Enugu airport is just 45mins away,same time it takes som1 from Karu in Abuja to get to Abuja airport.
Secondly, Ebonyi doesn't have the economic activities or population that can make an airport viable.
Same with the nearest towns in other states.
Either they are typical villages or have other airports like Owerri, Calabar and Enugu closer

Afonjjja shut up and go and sit down, you're not from any Ebonyi

GallantDuke:

Anger? No not at all but I am more concern because that will amount to waste of resource since the airport may witness low patronage.

Concern about what doesn't concern u? Are u from Ebonyi ,the answer is no so it shouldn't be your concern .focus on your state

Goahead:
You are pained that Umahi is fast on track to deliver one of the best airport in the country! Perhaps, you already know that your alcohol guzzling governor is no match in quality delivery, hence your anger.

They're simply jealous and pained bc Ebonyi is progressing the way they never expected it,thy should keep crying we're just getting started

GallantDuke:

But you openly told me that there is no airport in Anambra state or is it that you are suffering from loss of memory?

You see how daft u are ,is there any functional airport in Anambra yet? Answer is no.we can only argue that is still under construction

GallantDuke:

So Cross River residents will leave the airport in their state that is much standard and start using the one in your state? You see that you have shallow reasoning.

If u are not stupid u would know some people in benue use Enugu airport bc is closer to them than markudi, I didn't know u were such an illiterate to know boundary an distance of towns,maybe I should educate u better,ogoja and ikom th3 northern Cross River are very much closer to Ebonyi than calabar which is atleast 6 hrs from them,.same way some parts of benue are closer and will use it for their agricultural export ,i have to teach u like a pupil

GallantDuke:

What your empty skull fails to tell you is that Anambra as a state needs an airport compare to Ebonyi considering the number of business tycoons in the state so it is better to build an airport closer to the commercial city of Onitsha for those business men. Even the airport in Anambra state is a Cargo airport.
How do expect them to make profit from the airport when it start functioning considering the fact that it is likely to witness low patronage?
Motherfucker!!

Stupid boy is it only Anambra that does trade in Anambra, come to 33 in onitsha anytime u can book let me take u round IMO,Ebonyi and Enugu business men doing so well there that don't need the stupid aiport by that clown .Besides Ebonyi is building cargo airport for its agricultural economy to export,
So Anambra should use Asaba airport across the bridge

GallantDuke:

How many people in Ebonyi state flies by air on a regular basis? Instead of wasting money to build an airport that won't generate any income to the state why not use the money for something else that will benefit the state and be using the Enugu airport since it is closer.

You're still getting foolish,bc u are shortsighted , how many people where living in enugu or owerri when the airports there were created most u know airports attracts investments,besides it will be used not only by Ebonyi people but northen cross River and Benue people who are closer to Ebonyi than their respective states,

GallantDuke:

Ok you have discovered that we have an airport currently being built in Anambra state? The climax of stupidity is when someone claims that Umueri is an Igala settlement and not an Igbo settlement.
My brother, you are just equivalent to an illiterate.

I didnt discover , I already knew an airport is under construction there ,I'm even in Awka right now, if u can have airport there when asaba and enugu is close to u,why get jealous Ebonyi is building one when you're neither from Ebonyi nor have anything to do with Ebonyi, focus on the airport in Anambra, Ebonyi doesn't need opinion on how to run its affairs after all we have 36 states in Nigeria

GallantDuke:

You know what? I do love it when fools like you displays the foolishness and ignorance in public, it gives me joy.
What is the difference between the airport in your state and the one in Anambra state that made you to refer to that one as a "Crap"?

I also like talikng to fools like u ,if u were wise u would have gone to level down the airport been constructed in your place before u talk about other people's own, after all there is Asaba and Enugu airport close to u people

JohnBullMySon:
why enugu?

Ask am oo,some of them have forgotten we have 36 states,why can't other states too host airport ,what is good for the goose is good for the gander

GallantDuke:

It is only a fool that does not know that there is an airport currently being built in Umueri Anambra state, only a fool and I am afraid you are one.

Well you're the fool here bc we're talking about a fully built airport, and not one crap a miserable drunkard is putting up together, stupid boy

tyup:


As a full blooded igbo ur wrong on this very wrong at it

You're already claimed you're zamfara, nwafo igbo obula mana igbo enter,juo ajuju

they know what they are doing, even their govs are in support ask Bauchi gov

abnot:

FG is broke cannot carry everything . FAAN makes profit from only three airports (Lagos , abuja and port harcourt). The surplus from these airports is what is used to fund other airports under FAAN. This is one of the reasons civil servants in FAAN are fighting the minister Sirika because he wants to concession the terminal buildings in these three airports along with Kano. Once that happens they will no longer get free money from lagos, abuja and port harcourt airports and they have not been able to make any of these airports viable. Nigeria suffers from its greedy citizens who pressure their governors into embarking in some unsustainable projects.

Within the south east every state wants to have its airport as opposed to adopting that of enugu as the gateway airport to the southeast. Why spend billions on an airport that will only see one or two aircrafts land daily ? The bayelsa government did the same thing spending billions on an airport project. Till today there is no commercial flight operation there.

Well owerri airport is operating just fine too,after all everywhere is usually booked during festivities like Christmas, so it should solve those issues since igbos travel alot

GallantDuke:

How? Airport is not a new thing even as a matter of fact, my state government is currently building an airport city in my village. So what is your point?

So you're even from that igala part of Anambra that they're building airport yet u want to tell Ebonyi people what they need, why not u Anambra people use Asaba or Enugu airport since una sabi something, mtcheew

GallantDuke:

Miserable state? I didn't want to reveal my state to you but I will do that now for you to check if truly I am from a miserable state.
I am from Anambra state, so is my state miserable? You Knave.

Well Anambra doesn't have an airport so there is nothing to discuss with u ,I can only engage those whose states have airport, next time focus on your Anambra, you're not from Ebonyi and should stay clear of anything Ebonyi, you have numerous problems in Anambra to discuss including getting airpirt too,focus on it ,bye

GallantDuke:

You are even starting "Igbo" with small letter "I", I told you that you are a schmuck and you proved me right.
You are just a disgrace to our noble tribe.
You fucking Schmo!!
Anuofia!!!

Thats a dumb one from u ezi-ofia from the worst and most miserable state he's not proud to state here ,anuofia dika gi

Vardanes2:


My own state has an airport

And yes, i don't think it is useful too.I think it is a waste too. Like this one

We just need airports in Lagos, Abuja and enugu. Maybe Kano and Port Harcourt

We can link the rest of the country by rail or road to these airports.

Sorry, but ebonyi should spend the money on rural development or education.

Your stupid and miserable state have airport and your jealous others are building one,why not go and bomb your state airport to the ground if u don't like it, stupid boy

Vardanes2:


Good evening to you too.

My opinion is mine. If it makes you sad, sorry. That's life

Stop running what is your state ,is simple

1Dray:


Enemy of progress.

I'm telling u,meanwhile they're wishing for their states to have airport

Nobody demands your stupid suggestion, take it to your miserable state ,if you're proud of your state why not state it here ,jealousy and bad belle people, like say na una state allocation,

GallantDuke:

You just proved that you are a schmuck by tagging me an "afonja" whereas I am a full blooded Igbo man. I am even more Igbo than you. Talking about intelligence, I am a still yet to see your reasoning ability. Knave!

You've proven you're afonjaaa,stupid boy ,every igbo man knows no igbo is more than the other ,skull miner ogbomoso dweller

adonnii:
since umahi swapped enter apc, he just been doing mr project

He has always done that even in PDP,after all the projects didnt start today

Petyprince:
How time flies so Ebonyi is planning on having an Airport!

Thats how the world is,Germany was once world power then came soviet Union, Britain and America, it keeps changing, only change is constant

Vardanes2:
Why does ebonyi need an airport?

Better to link enugu airport by rail or road to ebonyi state.

How would they maintain the airport? How many flights?

Another white elephant project loading.

And no, I'm not saying this out of hate.

Carryout that useless question to your useless state and governor, all south east states deserve an airport

Tell us your state let us know if you're saying it out of hate or not

binaie:
not just building it will it be maintained

FG is already eyeing to take it over
