Wow some people are crying over ongoing international cargo airport construction taken place in great Anambra state(umueri)...pls we are building new city...not just an airport... Anambra state government wants to build a mega city that will attract more investors.. Both foreign and local... The area selected for such city already HV outstanding refinery (Orient refinery) with alot of lands acquired by Estate developers to build world class standard estates that will serve as residential apartments... The city will be called airport city...or oil city... There is on going plan to build the largest and world class standard computer village there in the airport city....we need to have more nice cities in igboland...the airport city will creat job and employment... It will also be counted as one of the well planned cities in igboland, because it's a joined project between Anambra state government, her indigenes(orient petroleum refinery group) and Chinese investors.. I am happy to witness another city coming up in my state...we need to spread development to other parts of the state ..therefore the city will be well planned coz it will be built from the scratch.....Anambra needs Cargo airport more than any other states in Nigeria apart from.. Lagos..Abuja..kano and river state...Anambra state is a home of many well known business men and women in the country... Anambra state indegens are travellers... And resides in different parts of the world... Anambra state hv one of the biggest markets in west Africa...(Onitsha market...and Nnewi) Anambra international cargo airport is a welcome development. It will enhance the operation level Onitsha business district, generate revenue, attract visitors (in the case of airport city) and pull down a lot of investors... Kudos to Anambra state government.... Kudos to Orient refinery group.. Kudos to Chinese investors......

Ndibunna read what he wrote to understand how to argue like a matured person. Argue your pounts without personal attack or insults.

mr11:
I'm really disappointed by some of your comments here concerning anioma people.

Unbiased1:
Just make ur point without insults and giving fake analysis about ownership of Private jets.
All I know is that the Anambra government may build the airport but the government dare not spend 2 billion dollars on it.

mktinsight:
[s]Actually it is very relevant. Money doesnt grow on trees. Its not just about building its about whether you can manage and run it sustainably. Nigeria has a lot of white elephant projects. Ajaokuta was built for over 600 billion. Where is it today? Where is NITEL? Nigeria Airways? All dead.

Delta state could throw away 36 billion building Asaba Airport because it has a budget of over 300 billion a year. But what happens if oil prices collapse by 80% and cause that 300b budget to become 60b? In that scenario can Delta State government fund the airport when its runway needs to be maintained or upgraded or its traffic control systems upgraded? The Delta State government concessioned it off because Okowa knew that Uduaghan made a bad investment decision and he wanted no part of spending even more on it (he spent an additional 5 billion on the airport).

The major problem Asaba had with the idea of building an airport is that it is not Lagos. Lagos Airport has ALWAYS been the gateway to Nigeria from 1960 to present. Lagos has the natural advantage and It made sense to build an airport because to come to Nigeria from anywhere in the world you HAD to come through Lagos airport. But for Asaba, any international carrier would question 1) Is there enough traffic to fly there and 2) Are there no alternatives. Asaba/Onitsha fails on both ends. It doesnt have enough global importance that you could land even just a rudimentary 3 flights per day from around the world. How many foreigners do business in Asaba/Onitsha? How much trade happens between Asaba/Onitsha and the rest of the world? Then secondly, an international carrier sees Port Harcourt first and Enugu second as alternatives for international flights into the South-East.

So Asaba is a domestic airport and unfortunately, for Nigeria domestic aviation is a low margin business that requires high volume. Nigeria does not have high volume of local flights like the USA or Europe. 80% of airport traffic in the USA is domestic and the USA boasts of over 850 million passengers who fly every year. Nigeria has less than 8 million. The US is large and flying alleviates driving long distances. Nigeria is the size of Texas and you can get anywhere in a day driving and at most 1 hour flying. The US is rich and can afford conveniences. Nigeria is poor and aviation is for those with money.

This is why states should be careful building an airport. It is dumping billions into a project with low demand and low margins. Nigeria will not be rich in the next 30 years and by then the airport will either deteriorate and become obsolete like Lagos Airport and require extensive refurbishing and upgrade which will come at huge cost. Will the state government be able to support it then? [/s]

OneNigerianist:
only a fool will think politics is a simple. Generally Anglicanism is inherently liberal and all embracing and progressive while catholicism is relatively more divisive and conservative. It follows that an Anglican can be a fanatic and yet more acceptable to his community than a catholic who is a fanatic.

let me give you an example, if you called a fanatical Anglican to lead a prayer in a Christian gathering, he'll likely start with singing a lot of hymns and making bible quotations before prayer all of which the people will have no reason to reject but a fanatical catholic will likely start with "hail mary" or any such prayer that will be greeted with resentment. it follows that Anglicanism with its liberal and progressive values plays more role in driving development than Catholicism which encourages dogma and discourages "openness". This is why developed western countries are founded on liberal/protestant and progressive values. This is also why Latin america with strong Catholic influence is still struggling to catch up despite being peopled with same Caucasians. were the US to be colonized by the Portuguese or Spain, she wouldn't be different from mexico.
Checkout anywhere you have the two denominations in substantial number there are more influential people who are Anglicans-at-heart than there are Catholics, even in the US.
This is also true in Anambra. find out those who put Chinweoke mbadinuju, find the person who put Ngige or obi's second tenure, you'll know the Catholic dominance is a ruse. those godfathers and politicians don't have religions in mind except obi who Changed apga to a religious party. most developed Anambra towns are dominated by anglicans.

AstroG:
Which Anglican or Protestants Owned School is Bigger than CKC ??

chy101:
There's no statistics supporting that figure, but all I know is the Catholics are more. But if you say that Catholic is 80%, remember that anywhere Catholic has presence, you must see Anglican there too.

60-40 is the most ideal figure

Stanweezy:
I don't have your time Mr. Man and stop quoting me upanda

OMANBALA1:
Its not a matter of trying to,source for Anglican running mate but just that its not an issue. It was the meagre Anglican population that is fanning this sentiment.

chy101:
You are in order. Though Anglican was the first to arrive Onitsha before spreading to other parts of southeast, but Catholic came and spread faster and dominated most places.

So it will be safe to say that Catholic is 60, while Anglican is 40.

OMANBALA1:
No , it's not. For instance, Umuoji is 95% Catholic same with Oba, Ogidi, Ojoto and all Idenmili town including Obosi and Nkpor....And , we all know for you to win Anambra you must win Idenmili North

chy101:
Odenigbo it will be safe to say it is 60-40.

Stanweezy:
Even my school days in Anambra, it was as if the whole student na Catholic bkus every Sunday, crowd that leaves church is always massive.

Is better they practice Politics and pick a competent person than to use religion to determine next governor

OMANBALA1:
Anambra is 80% Catholic....if you start this tussle you will never win....nuf said

Drobitol:
All my anambra friends are catholic, Anglicans and their pot belly bishops should go and sit down.

Stanweezy:
If election should tow the line of Catholic against Anglican and protestant combine, hmmm na em be say catholic will continue to rule Anambra, in my my compound we get two catholic priest one is my Dad brother and u can imagine other villages in Anambra. I can remember when I was small women used that word "Nne father to brag

The immediate past Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Minister of State for Transport  Senator Gbemisola Saraki may have  ”sheath their swords” over the onslaught on their father Late Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki by the Kwara state government if the reactions of their aides are anything to go by. Mallam Yusuf Olaniyonu, Special Assistant on Media to former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, told Vanguard that his boss would shortly react in detail to the latest development, stressing that its not something he can discuss on phone with the Correspondent.


The immediate past Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki and the Minister of State for Transport  Senator Gbemisola Saraki may have  ”sheath their swords” over the onslaught on their father Late Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki by the Kwara state government if the reactions of their aides are anything to go by. Mallam Yusuf Olaniyonu, Special Assistant on Media to former Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki, told Vanguard that his boss would shortly react in detail to the latest development, stressing that its not something he can discuss on phone with the Correspondent.

Recall that Dr. Bukola Saraki in a personal statement he issued on this development a few days ago, went down the memory and took a swipe at the state government, stressing that Governor Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman has crossed the borderline of decency Also, the Minister of State for Transport, Senator Gbemisola Saraki has thrown her weight behind her family over the current travail according to the statement by her Media aide Titilope Anifowose. Olaniyonu in a short telephone interview also told Vanguard that a lawyer had filed a suit against the Kwara state government since Tuesday, adding that he would also be made a press statement shortly on the development. He said,” It’s not something we can be reacting to on the phone, we are still coming out with a statement later that would be made available to the press. The lawyer has filed a suit against the Kwara state government on this matter on Tuesday. I also think he is coming up with a statement on this development. So, let’s wait and see.” Similarly, Minister of State for Transport and daughter of the late politician, Senator Gbemisola Saraki in her veiled reaction to the development said we have a history and we are proud of that history. According to a statement issued by her Special Assistant on Media, Titilope Anifowose, she said that the minister has renamed her movement to,’GRS-OLOYE’in perceived solidarity with her family, Saraki against the actions of the Kwara state government.

The statement reads in part,” So, many things have happened this year, in fact, right up to the very dying hours of the year, but we will continue to take brave and faithful steps.” ”We will continue to walk even though we have no idea what will happen next, though we are comforted, encouraged and reassured with this; But they plan and Allah plans and Allah is the best of planners. So, GRS Family, we are going to be known now as GRS-OLOYE Movement. ”We have history, and we are proud of that history. May Allah forgive the sins of ALL our departed and may HE make us worthy representatives of all that they stood for.”
