It will not work.

[quote author=danjuma_cse]those are not facts my brother. give us empirical data to support your opination.then I would defend osun state with my data.
I would love to insult you hen bah I just can't. I wouldn't be dragged in your roforofo fight fuelled by envy and also you would probably beat me with experience............lol.
instead of wasting time arguing about a process that started, be productive somewhere else.[/quote]1. As an Osunite, it is convenient for you to try to stoutly deny that Osun is not a backward state. But that is just a face-saving denial, as you cannot with confident compare osun with states like Akwa Ibom and Lagos.
2. Political and economic wise, Osun is not in the scheme-of-things and has no respectable place in d comity-of-states in Nigeria.
3. Resources from states like Akwa Ibom is what Osun is dependent on for survival.
4. There is a very high
rate of poverty in Osun with no middle-class population, and d inhabitants are largely agrarian and illiterates.
5. I enjoin you to visit Google, yahoo or Wikipedia. You will find no concrete information on the Osun festival or anything of substance on that festival.
6. The Osun festival attracts mainly
peasants and some Ifa idol worshippers. Visit google and you'll find some of the photos. The festival is not for highly sophisticated international tourists.
7. Osun festival has neither the clout, character nor the finess to attract well-sophisticated foreign tourists, nor can it be compared wit a
high-profile festival such as d Calabar Carnival which draws over 10 million tourists globally.
8. Osun state (unlike Lagos and Akwa Ibom) has NO tourism infrastructure to
support leisure activities and foreign tourists. Basic
Infrastructures such as: standard hotels let alone "FIVE STAR HOTELS ", let alone beaches, or cinemas, or even well-paved city roads, OLYMPIC STADIUM, SHOPPING-MALLS are non-existent. Osun state has no tourism
potential.
9. Economic-wise, Osun states comparative
advantage is in cocoa
plantation and not
tourism.
I can go on and on and on. And these are all sacred FACTS.
If your governor wants to build tourism, he shd begin by building the basic infrastructure listed above and not to put the cart before the horse. No tourist wil fly into an "Osun Airport" to yonder around a village without any befitting place to lay his head. I AM FROM AKWA IBOM AND I AM ALSO A TOURIST. SO I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. OSUN HAS NOTHING THAT A TYPICAL AKWA IBOM PERSON CAN ENVY. #FACT.

Italiano1: You are a patient man- I am not! I give kudos to you for explaining all these to that dimwit! I have been waiting for the retardd to show up but he chose the right path to avoid further embarrassment

It is your lunacy that causes you to think that any reasonable man wud give you credence by joining issues with your ordinary verbal abuses. You are an osunite and I KNOW HOW PAINFUL AND HURTFUL IT IS TO BE CONFRONTED WITH BITTER-TRUTHS AND HARD FACTS. Therefore, the reason for your lunatic verbal abuses is understandable to anyone - but wud not help you, nor would it change the bitter-truths. FACE ONLY THE FACTS AND YOU'LL HAVE A RESPONSE![/quote]

[quote author=danjuma_cse]you are so wrong
you are so wrong[/quote]Have you been able to deny or contradict ANY of the hard facts i set-out from Nos. 1-6 with any clear and convincing evidence?

agbameta: Sounds like you....

Block-head is this your tactical way of chickening-out from facing real facts? Please chicken-out joor and don't you ever attempt to spew your falsehood whenever you find me on any thread. ID!OT.

agbameta: The question is, why is a world famous 5 star hotel chain like Radisson investing in a 5 star hotel in Osun state? Just why? Are you smarter and do you have better access to more tourism economy knowledge than raddison?

Will you shut the fvck-up here and stop deceiving your fellow yoruba block-heads! Who told you that "Raddison" is a 5-star hotel chain? Is that one of d APC propaganda given to you by Aregbe to come and spew here? Even Aregbe himself knows dat Osun State cannot afford anything dat is 3-star let alone FIVE STAR, dat is why he is always flashing his 2-fingers in d air to signal dat everything in Osun should be 2-star, 2-star. So if d governor himself believes in a 2-star status for his state, who are u 2come here to claim 5-STAR, let alone 7-STAR like Akwa Ibom.
Block-head let me educate you. ONLY hotel-chains like Starwood Group (owners of the Sheraton, Four-point and Le Meridien franchise), and Hilton and Protea are the global players in 5 & 7-STAR hotel business.

Your gross display of illiteracy and the usual crass and crude NL routine means nothing to me so feel free to swim in your own ignorance and stupidity, nothing new, your type come a dime

Your lunatic verbal attacks will not help you. FACE ONLY THE FACTS!

Isn't it ironic, sad and pitiful that the only hotel in osun state which osunites can boast-of or brag-about is a CHEAP 30-ROOM 2-STAR MOTEL? Who would then use the airport which osun governor is touting when it is completed in year 3030?

^^^^^ That's a tourist resort in OSUN from tripadvisor.


Read the reviews too...

agbameta: .

Yes, I have visited the link you shared and this is what I saw

Zenababs Half Moon Resort
Prince Oladele Olashore
Way | Ijebujesa Rd, Ilo-
Aiyegunle, Ilesa, Nigeria
Avg. price/night: $55 - $75
Number of rooms: 30

Hahahaha ha ha ha ha. Dude, THIS IS NOT A FIVE-STAR HOTEL. THIS IS A CHEAP 2-STAR MOTEL Of ONLY 30 ROOMS. You can continue to fool yourself.

ALSO:

“ Basic but not adequate” Ratings 3.0 of 5
Jun 9, 2013 Sangeev
In terms of global
standards Zenababs will rank quite low. Zenababs is located on a very large
piece of land that has both accommodation as well as event facilities.
Accommodation is basic but clean. Service is
adequate. Food is limited in choice and basic in preparation. Gym equipment does not work all the time".

THIS MAN WHO WAS A GUEST AT THE HOTEL SAW IT ALL, AND HAVE SAID IT ALL. I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE LINK.

So out of the few tourism infrastructures i listed above, which a place with tourism potentials should ordinarily have, you were only able to tout a kpako non-existent "120-room" hotel whose paper-drawings will be completed in 3030. AMALA-YORUBAs, KEEP FOOLING YOURSELVES.

[quote author=madam_oringo]If the airport only serves 500,000 flights in a year with a revenue of only $200 per person, that is $100,000,000 = N 16,000,000,000 (N 16 Billion). Reduce that by a factor of 2, 3, 4 and at N 4 B per year, for an appreciating asset this is a superior investment decision.[/quote]If by your calculation, Osun state wud be receiving an annual revenue of 16 billion naira from that airport, how much money wud you then say commercial airlines wud make from using the airport?
KEEP FOOLING YOURSELVES.

Italiano1: This is the problem with the of lack of critical analysis fundamentally missing in the Nigerian educational system- the system continually breeds half baked graduates that can not reason deeply but just gladly spew their ignorance at every opportunity- no offense intended but it is becoming a crisis situation

How is the poverty level and the so called non existent middle class in Osun state different from the Nigerian state as a whole?

OK:

1. Osun state is opening up its market for international and national investors who will find it more conducive to travel by air to the state rather than by road- so it benefits them and the state by the resultant investments. While Governor Obi is making daily visits to Abuja, Ogbeni Aregbe is making a convincing business case for inward FDI in Osun State. Why wont foreign investors prefer a 30 minute flight from Lagos rather than a 3 hour journey by road?

2. Osun state attracts more international tourism than the whole SE combined, for example the number of international visitors that attended the Osun Osogbo festival in 2013 is more than those that have stepped foot in the whole SE in the last 10 years. An airport will make their journey less onerous and benefit the economy of Osun state. The economic effect of that alone will triple the GDP of a lot of SE states in the long run- Fact!

3. As a result of the aforementioned, it will gradually reduce the poverty level and increase the disposable income of the Osun state people which will eventually widen the middle class population.

Next?

You spew fake statistics to deceive block-heads like you and also to cause your fellow osunites 2hav a feel good sprit. But sacred facts are that:
1. Osun state has no respectable place in d comity-of-states in Nigeria.
2. Osun state has a high rate of poverty wit d inhabitants largely agrarian and illiterates.
3. The Osun festival is one which attracts mainly peasants and some Ifa idol worshippers 4m osun n other places in yorubaland.
4. Osun festival has neither the finess to attract international tourists, nor can it be compared wit a high-profile festival like d Calabar Carnival which attracts over 10 million tourists globally.
5. Osun state (unlike Lagos and Akwa Ibom) has NO tourism infrastructure to support foreign tourists. Infrastructures such as: standard hotels let alone "FIVE STAR HOTELS ", let alone beaches, or cinemas, or even well-paved city roads are non-existent. Osun state has no tourism potential.
6. Economic-wise, Osun states comparative advantage is in cocoa plantation and not tourism.
I can go on and on and on. And these are all sacred FACTS.

hapholahbi: Let's be sincere with ourselve, osun state is not ripe for this, there are better things ogbeni should embark on..how many folks in osun travels by air talkless of a flight ticket.

It is true dat the level of poverty in the state of Osun is very high and d middle-class is almost non-existent when compared to places like Lagos, Abuja, Akwa Ibom and Rivers, it wud therefore amount 2a waste of public funds 4d Ogbeni to embark on dis type of project dat is a white-elephant.

POSTED ON WEDNESDAY,

Governor Godswill Akpabio of
Akwa Ibom State has become the first Nigerian to be conferred with the Distinguished Manager of the Year award by the
Nigerian Institute of
Management (NIM) (Chartered).
Last year, the institute had conferred the governor with a
fellowship award in
acknowledgment of his public good governance profile in Akwa Ibom.
The President and Chairman of
Council of Nigerian Institute of
Management, Michael Olawale- Cole, who presented the award
to the governor at a Gala Nite to round off activities of this year’s conference of the Institute in
Uyo, noted, “You are the first person to receive this in the 52
years of Nigerian Institute of
Management existence. “We want to celebrate you for
what you are doing. Those of you who are here for the first
time or who have been here for a while have seen the great work that this distinguished Nigerian has done for this great State”.
Olawale-Cole noted that he was amazed at the level of
transformation in Akwa Ibom State brought into existence by
the Akpabio administration in
the last six years.
“What I have seen here is a shocker to me. I am from Lagos
State and I know that my governor is doing his very best in
Lagos State. But what I have seen here is shocking to me and I said it. I was once in government- in
finance and works; therefore I should know what it means to govern well. The best is yet to
come for you. A man who has governed a state very well is also
able to govern Nigeria very well,”
the President said.
Responding, Akpabio thanked NIM for finding him worthy of the inaugural award of
Distinguished Manager of the
Year, describing the award as uncommon.
“I was coming to meet an uncommon award, given to an
uncommon governor at a very uncommon time in an uncommon retreat, talking about
uncommon transformation in a
state that showcases uncommon
transformation”, the governor stated. www.dailyindependentnig.com/2013/09/akpabio-bags-nims-first-distinguished-manager-of-the-year-award/

ba7man: Akwa-Ibom is still a well tarred village compared to Lagos......period.

Wen u finish greening wit envy n seeing ur body complexion change 4m black to green, pls do urself a favour by drinkin uta piapia. Ur emotional depression wil go away n ur body-complexion wil return to black wen u drink it.

A simply way to describe this tread is like dat of: A pupil setting his own exam-questions, answering d questions, marking his answers-script, scoring himself from his d "exam", and releasing his total score 2d public. IN SUCH AN INSTANCE, WHO IS FOOLING WHO? This is d height of absurdity one cud ever witness in nairaland. My candid advice is dat d Moderator should move this tread to d "Joke section", because it is a futile attempt by an id!ot to insult d intelligence of unsuspecting nairalanders.

If d images of roads shown above n posted by agbameta alias ekoile were in Akwa ibom, many moronic nairalanders wud hav rush to conclude dat d vehicular traffic in Aibom is very low. Now with such a stupid n frequent assumption on vehicular traffic in Akwa ibom, i am suprise dat nobody has repeated same assumption here wit respect 2d empty streets shown on these images of lagos roads.

This "journalist" is deliberately tryin to be mischievous by quoting Anineh's speech out of context. I watched dat event live and i listened to Anineh's speech carefully. HE NEVER MEANT IN ANYWAY THAT JONATHAN SHOULD DECLARE HIS INTENTION THIS OCTOBER.

And you guys think the source of OP story are credible? www.dondumex..com/2013/09/wahala-dey-kano-state-governor.html
www.saharareporters.com/news-page/drama-presidential-villa-kwankwaso-rejects-jonathans-request

ujoinme: no you are not getting it right Akwa ibom governors had vision prior to akpabio, Akpabio has fulfilled some of those visions and many more need to be actualized like industrialization, deep seaport, upgrade of state university, etc

If you have substantive fact/contribution other than to deny the facts about Akpabio's transformational leadership lay it bare,stop this redundant arguments.

Since you claim to be a proud ibibio son show your patriotism on this Akwa ibom thread.
Do you have anything Positive or Negative to showcase about akwa ibom post it here, If you are just a critic post your constructive criticism here too, so the administration can learn from you if they do look at this page. or you can just stop commenting the choice is yours.

I already declared dat i'll neva waste my time wit u on d issue which is d main bone of contention here. Howeva, after critically dissecting wot u posted above, i reached d conclusion dat u have no credibility as a person, n therefore you lack d worthiness for me or anyother reasonable person 4 that matter, to engage u on any issue of substance. Ur mission here is obvious. And it is 2 lose ur sense of objectivity, as well as to engage in false propaganda in order to suit d tune of ur pay-master. But wot u're simply doin is 2 degrade urself 2a mere sycophantic political-jobber. I'll therefor advice u to try ur hands on more productive n sustainable things so as to empower urself because wot u're doin here is not going to last. People like u used 2do dis before 2007, but today they hav all returned back 2d trenches, n are nowhere 2b found. Dat being said, I hereby wish 2 declare dat i'll neva engage u on anyother issue as far as this tread is concern no matter how long it would last here on nairaland. HAVE A NICE DAY!

ujoinme: the reason I feel insulted is because, it is comments from pple like u dat give strangers d errorneous impression dat Akwa ibom land & its peoples just actually emerged 4m a state of a dark-jungle, doldrums, deprivation, lack n underdevelopment which supposedly existed b4 d advent of this administration in 2007, and therefore all thanks must go to godswill akpabio (their MESSIAH).


Quoting you on the above point,You said it better than i could have.
BTW you dont start having unbiased appraisal by casting aspersion the ppl you want to dialogue with you don't know me.
and i could also say you are paid to sully gov. Akpabio based on your comment how will you feel about that?

by the way akpabio has liberated Akwa Ibom from underdevelopment and bad roads and poor infrastructure that littered the state. FACT say it and shame the devil.

I'll say it again, but i'll neva repeat myself on dis particular issue wit u on dis tread anyother time. "AKPABIO HAS CONSOLIDATED ON WHAT WAS ALREADY ACHIEVED, AND HAVE THEREFORE ADDED VALUE TO THE ALREADY EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT IN AKWA IBOM. THAT IS TO PUT IT DIFFERENTLY, AKWA IBOM WAS ALREADY DEVELOPING IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS BEFORE AKPABIO CAME ON BOARD AS GOVERNOR IN 2007". And if u so like, tell d same lie a thousand & thousand times over, whether here on nairaland or elsewhere, IT SHALL NEVER BECOME A FACT, IT WILL STUCK AS THE SAME LIE! And i dont fvckenly care if u say i'm "paid to sully gov.akpabio". Every reasonable person followin dis tread already know who btw me n you is independent, plain n objective. PERIOD!

[quote author=t-something]My brother I thought by now we should be tired of this comparison between Attah and Akpabio . .
It will be wicked to lie that Akpabio has just done few roads in Uyo. Lemme refresh your memory of few uyo roads undertaken by the akpabio's administration...

Please let's remove hate and sentiments and say things as are. Why I appreciate Akpabio is because he hasn't spared anything to bring quality infrastructures of world standard.[/quote]Some of d issues u raised werent quite relevant or connected to my earlier post, so i've decided to erased them so as to respond 2 ur other fundamental issues frontally. First, i nid 2inform u dat i neva engaged anyone in whateva comparison on dis tread, be it Attah v. Akpabio, or anyone 4dat matter. So don't see d basis 4ur assertion or advice. In dat post, i was only attempting 2ask dat wot belongs 2 ceaser's must be given or left for ceaser, n wot belong 2d jew must also be given or left 4d jew. Secondly, i wonder who was "wicked to lie dat akpabio has done only a few roads in uyo", n also ur basis for attempting to "refresh" my memory on d roads done by akpabio. Pls take notice dat d basis of all ur assertions were faulty, needless, fallacious n unnecessary. In d post u were referencing, i stated dat most of d roads akpabio has done are in d suburbs of Uyo, or d new areas of d city (if u like). And u went on 2 list dem again without taking full cognizance of my earlier unambiguous comment, n thereby drawing d same conclusion as mine! Even d so-called "urbanization projects", are to me too trivial to be counted as significant projects funded by a rich state like akwa ibom. Such projects like water-fountains, junction-construction, flower-planting et al; are projects dat ordinarily shd be handled by d local govt authority. Therefore, i dont see why u shd embarrass d state-govt by listing those as well in ur long-list. I've neva disagreed wit u dat akpabio has "spared nothing to bring quality infrastructure of world-standard" to the state. On d contrary, i have always alluded 2d numerous accomplishments of akpabio govt in embarking on ambitious signature projects to place d state on a much higher pedestal. So i ask you, where is dis "hate or sentiments" coming from? And from where are u attempting to "remove" them?

ujoinme: I will stand by my statement. however you are welcome to disagree with me, But if we want to be sincere you will also confess the truth about the present administration in its efforts to transform the state.

I am not insulting anyone intelligence here and i do not appreciate your casting aspersion on my person if you want to disagree on the substance of the developmental strides in the state under the present administration, i will very much like to engage you on that.

My aim is not to discountenance the achievements of others/previous administrations in the state that will be so naive of me to do so, after all government is a continuum. I agree with you that gov.Attah was a great visioner and a very bold leader but in terms of execution of projects he didn't do that well ,Fact! but he still left his marks on the state.as he left a blue print which the present gov. who was part of his cabinet has executed effectively.

Here are the facts Attah conceived the airport project, le meridien hotel, the power plant,etc but none of this plans were executed to conclusion by his administration, but the present administration has succeeded in implementing and even improving on those visions that attah had if you are sincere you will agree that none of those projects were workable or at the stage they are today during attahs admin.

Don't try to belittle Akpabio's achievement by alluding to the fact that he is just a better salesman than Attah was, while that is true you also have to countenance the fact that a good products enhances the success of a salesman. hence Akpabio's success might not be unconnected to the fact that he has better product to sale than his former boss did.

i also stand by my earlier statement because d tone of all ur posts give u away as a paid-agent. I also do not know what "truth" u want me to "confess". i've already stated in my penultimate post dat "i salute n commend gov.akpabio" for consolidating on what he's predecessor started. I also clearly alluded to his several "ambitious signature projects" which he has perfectly executed or is executing. So again i ask u, wot "truth" do u really want me 2 "confess"? I believe dat dis space shd be a platform 4 genuine akwa ibom sons to offer fair, unbias, objectives n undiluted perspectives on all positive events takin-place in akwa ibom, n not 4anyone 2act as anyone's false propagandist. Thus, in d post u quoted, i did not specifically mention d name of victor attah d former gov, i also deliberately avoided listing projects like d airport, state-university, power-plant, et al for obvious reasons. It wil interest u to know dat I've always got very seriously reservations over d way n manner d former gov executed most of his projects, n i hav personally scored him a "C" for his average performance. However, dat does not mean dat one shd be robbing peter 2pay paul, or shd not be sincere enough to give honor or credit 2whom it is due. And in dis case- to recognise d little stuffs attah left behind. His little accomplishments must not be disrespected! The reason I feel insulted is because, it is comments from pple like u dat give strangers d errorneous impression dat Akwa ibom land & its peoples just actually emerged 4m a state of a dark-jungle, doldrums, deprivation, lack n underdevelopment which supposedly existed b4 d advent of this administration in 2007, and therefore all thanks must go to godswill akpabio (their MESSIAH). Such comment n d attendant impression it gives are not only insultive, but blasphemous! u also talked bout engaging me on d issue as 2 who btw attah n akpabio is a better leader. Well, in as much as i deem both personalities 2b average leaders, i can bet u dat if i am 2engage u wit scientific details as to who's better, vis-a-viz d resources at each disposal. U'll be amaze dat d former gov is better than akpabio. Dat being said, i am not anyone's apologist nor i'm i sympathetic 2anyone of dem. I AM ONLY A TRUE SON OF AKWA IBOM LOOKING-OUT FOR THE GOOD OF MY HOMELAND. Therefore, i'll like 2warn dat no one shd politicise dis tread nor act as anyone's apologist.

ujoinme: any sane Nigeria who knew this region before the advent of this administration cannot deny the drastic transformation that is taking place in akwa ibom.
I commend this administration

What u've stated above is completely in error, false n misleading, n gives d impression dat u're a paid propaganda agent of d govt, except u wanna tell me u landed in akwa ibom just recently. In as much as i salute and commend Gov. Akpabio 4 consolidating on d infrastructural developments which his predecessor started, it will be very uncharitable 2claim & insult d intelligence of a proud Akwa Ibom son like me dat d transformation in Akwa ibom started just in 2007. In specific terms however, Akpabio may be commended 4d developments dat have taken place in ikot ekpene zone & in some suburbs of Uyo, includin all his ambitious signature projects. But it is on record dat all major civil works in uyo including major dual-carriage roads, new housing estates in osong ama, shelter afrique et al, as well some other signature projects like Uyo-Plaza, Le Meridien hotel, et al; were on ground even before 2003. But d difference lies in d fact dat d former governor did not showcase his deeds 2d outside world as akpabio is doing thro his "uncommon transformation tv-program" showing on national networks, as well as d guided-tours which he conducts for all high-profile guests 2d state. So pls desist from makin such annoying comments dat are false.

Mr. Man, i gave u an assignment 2carry-out a research yesterday. And i can see u're executing dat assignment, though am not impress because d way u're going about d research-work is not indepth enough. So i'll advice dat u quaruble ur efforts so u cud get 2d bottom of ur research-work, n dont rely on d internet alone. It's betta 2get ur fvcken as§ in Akwa Ibom so u cud get first-hand empirical evidence. Ujoime has responded 2d issue u raised here, so i'll not bother 2waste my time wit you. Dat being said, i'll warn all fvcken-haters like u who hav been hypnotize by 419fashola & co. 2get ur sticky-as§es off this tread. BE WARNED!

Why did d govt decide to change d original architectural design of d international terminal of dat airport 4m wat is shown below to something else, despite d whooping sums voted 4dat contract?
