mktinsight:
Hope you realize that an airport is expensive and not necessarily profitable. Small Asaba Airport cost the Delta state government 32 billion. Small Akwa Ibom airport cost 18 billion. NONE of these airports are profitable. On a yearly basis, around 200,000 use Asaba airport. That is less than 1/10 of the number of people that travel between Onitsha and Lagos using various buses. Asaba airport generates less than 400 million per
year and it will take close to 80 years to pay it back. Same goes for longstanding Owerri Airport. Less than 500,000 passengers fly into it per year and it generates less than 1 billion per year.

So Anambra state government should THINK. It does not have money to burn or to experiment with like Niger Delta states. There are THREE airports within 1 hour of the state - Asaba, Owerri, Enugu. There are more important things to do with 10-30 billion naira that will generate billlions in economic activity. Fix the cities, put in industrial layouts, make them livable so that more large investors can site there. Intafact Breweries (brewers of Hero) makes over 3 billion in revenue per year more than any airport. Cutix Plx in Nnewi makes over 5 billion a year more than any airport. Imagine if you had 100 of these type of companies.

You have no right to tell a sitting government on what to do with their resources.

Secondly you not from the state or consulted by Anambra state government for your opinion. So your public opinion is one of pained mind and out of order.

Last I checked Anambra state has the population for her airport. People mostly using delta state and enugu airports are still from Anambra state. So if the airport is completed they will turn over to patronise their state and I assure you the traffic will be there more and more.
Atleast to an advantage airlines will be happy to. Shuttle busy routes as far FG gives them go ahead order.

Take your advice to your state government let them diversify other sectors as Obiano has done his best.

Stop crying over airport Obiano is building this man. Stop wailing over what is not your business. You have cried so much on this forum and I will advice you to stop visiting the forum and allow others be.

Your advice is not needed. Enugu is a state, delta is a state and Anambra is a state.

I am yet to see in Nigeria constitution where it is written that states shouldn't do what will benefit her people because another state has done that.. even Sokoto, maiduguri, jigawa has an airport and still standing.

Let Obiano build whatsoever he wants to build, the population is there to give back the has been injected into such project.

Keep your advice or rather give it to your state government to Industrialise your place.

Painment and unintelligence reeking

If your definition of intelligent is that nonsense you penned that their then am sorry education hasn't achieved anything for you.

You think because a docile forum like this exist where lies is thee other of the day, you can elongate your own lies without been cautioned.

I am not interested where you from or where you live or sneaks out from. Igbos aren't your mate and if you can't bear them then keep quiet and live your own life.

That's how all these timid villages gossips about strangers in their vicinity because they don't have any means of livelihood.

Why not?

Lord lugard and Britain gave you a platform Nigeria to exhibit your village characteristics.

Perkins2018:
Stop fooling yourself boy. Ondo is my state. Ebiras are more than ibos here. Yorubas are more than ibos in Niger state and some states in the north.

Name the northern states?

garfield1:
[s]Even in cross river state,igbos are not the largest non indigenous group.the ibibios are same as in bayelsa state.in edo,the yorubas are the largest non indigenous group.the igbos are not that numerous outside the south east.there are few but very loud and ubiquitous and highly mobile which makes their presence exaggerated.for example in my area in calabar,they are only 8 igbos but they usually meet in a particular shop owned by another igbo and make Merriment and boastful talks.but,funny enough there are over 20 yorubas but you wont know except you go close to them[/s]

No wonder you still struggling to make with life of lies and deceit.

Let me get it straight what stops you or your people from been loud. Though I see no reason having time to even discuss an inconsequential state as cross river but your hate will only linger you from been successful.

As you coil in your mind Igbos doesn't know you exist.

I even find myself today talking about cross river....what nonsense.

No go build house in your father's compound.

Continue detailing how Igbos converge for their meetings.

This is how a pro active governor behaves not someone national assembly will screen his ministerial nominees it will take another 3 weeks to Inaugurate them.

Facebook is a very powerful tool, so powerful that revolutions have been organized or given fire through it.
The group is going good. I introduced a cousin there and through there he met an Igbo girl he is currently dating.
Igbos marrying Igbos is a good idea. It's called mother tongue for a reason. You can't have Igbo children with Igbo cultural mindset, if you marry a non Igbo.
Though this is not the aim of this thread. But you must know that facebook is not a faceless forum, and in facebook, it's not too hard to figure out someone true origin.

But who I'm joking. I'm probably replying to one of the numerous non Igbo monikers here who Igbo unity is like a dagger to their hearts.

Which Igbo unity. I don't encourage fairy tales.

I am only in for developmental strides, world class infrastructure and not pan Igbo facebook or backbook.

Please continue to wait for your Ideal Igbo nation to mature.

While realist without considering whose ox is in, gets things done more and more.

Why burning the truck?


Why provoking Dangote to action?

I thought south west are diplomatic in handling issues?


They should have explored the diplomacy here.

Angry Youths Set Dangote Trucks On Fire
Angry youths have reportedly set ablaze two trucks belonging to Dangote cement company for allegedly crushing two persons to death.
The accident occurred in Imowo in the Ijebu-Ode Local Government Area of Ogun State on Tuesday.
The two victims, a motorcyclist, and a passenger were on the road when the trucks reportedly hit them from behind and crushed them to death.
The Public Relations Officer of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps in the state, Babatunde Akinbiyi, confirmed the incident.
Akinbiyi in a statement explained that the fatal accident occurred between Dangote trucks and a motorcycle.
The statement read, “The fatal accident at Imowo within Ijebu-Ode along Ibadan road between two Dangote trucks and a motorcycle.
“Two passengers on the motorcycle lost their lives and hoodlums around the scene burnt two Dangote trucks on the road and did not allow anybody to carry the two corpses on the ground for now.”

Freshmaxi:
Pls enough of all this nonsense... This is Anambra thread...it was created to showcase and monitor all the projects and development going on in Anambra state...pls leave this thread if u are not from Anambra state or else you will regret... For constituting nuisance here... (M buo gi onu..Oga ESO gi..)...

Nna m buo fa..

You are free.

pazienza:
Recently a group of Ndiigbo were getting concerned about the rate of admixture between Ndiigbo and non Igbos, they were concerned that if conscious effort is not made to keep Ndiigbo distinct from Nigerians, we would be unable to leave Nigeria in the future, and worst still, we could lose our Igbo identity as our people are too eager assimilliate alien cultures, we would become less Igbo and more Nigerian.
To this aim, a facebook flatform was opened to enable Igbo singles easily find and marry each other and to stem the tide of Igbos especially our ladies marrying non Igbos.
Guess where the initiators of this noble venture are from? Yes! From all over Igboland, but the leader is from Ozubulu in Anambra.
The typical Anambra man while being proud of Anambra is pan Igboist by nature.

OMANBALA, your Igbo identity is under review here!

I didn't even read this before I said earlier that this Idealist are simply people who create forums for gossips and masturbation of what they think should be.

If not tell me why someone will open a Facebook account for marriage and claim he is from ozubulu.

Same way impostors who creates account of other ethnicity is same same someone did that and said he is from Ozubulu.

This is more of the reason I strictly avoid all these nonsense Facebook groups.

It is a room for gossip.


I choose the one beneficial and realistic for a purpose not for gossips or love Dr hook ups.

pazienza:
I don't contrbute much in state threads.

I see them all as obstacles to Igbo progress.
But I'm sure I have contributed to Anambra thread some time ago. And I visit the thread everyday.
I doubt you have more Anambra blood flowing in your veins than me. I spent all my childhood at Ogidi and had spent the last 3yrs at Ogidi and environment as a place of residence and work.

You are not more Anambra than Ojukwu or Achebe, yet they were both Pan Igboists. Achebe spent years in Owerri studying the Igbo culture around that part of Igboland and he wrote about it in his last book before he died.

I think your Igbo experience is very limited. You probably hardly lived in Anambra, I wager you grew up outside Igboland. I wouldn't be surprised if you have a non Igbo admixture in you, someone once said you were from Plateau state here, I wouldn't be surprised if you are entirely an non Igbo impostor here. There are many Northerners like yourselves who were born in Igboland and can speak fluent Igbo. We have one of them currently living in our family house in Ogidi as a tenant. Recently BBC Igbo ran a program about Northerners born and raised in Igboland who are very fluent in Igbo language.

If you were born, raised into adulthood in Igboland, and had the opportunity to transverse the four corners of Igboland, interacting with all Igbo clans like Achebe,Zik and Ojukwu did, you will have far greater vision and not be as shortsighted as you currently are. You would know that all Igbo clans are interlinked and share one fate.
I was born in Enugu, but I schooled in Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo and Abia at different times in my life. I lived with and interacted with the people.
I had used my meagre resources to visit interiors of Igbo speaking groups like Etche, Ikwerre, Ngbo, Izzi, etc, with aim of trying to understand the idiosyncrasies of the villagers out there.

The first hand experience I have interacting with all Igbo clans, you have not 1/100th of it.
Therefore you shouldn't expect our stance on Pan Igbo issues to be alike.

By the way, I didn't condemn the Omanbala name I will never condemn any part of Igboland, I'm too Pan Igbo for such. I simply stated the obvious fact that Omanbala as a cultural unit encompasses Anambra East, Anambra west, Oyi and parts of Dunukofia LGAs.
Omanbala is an Igbo cultural zone with a visible Igala imprint.
This is a historical fact.

The fact that Omanbala was corrupted to Anambra and used to name a part of Igboland by Nigerian government, should not give divisionists the opportunity to misrepresent fact and divide Igboland further.

We should be working towards blurring the lines of divisions the enemy imposed on us after our defeat at the war, finding means to breakdown the walls of divisions called states, unite ourselves and achieve our potential. Germany was divided into East and West Germany after they lost a war, but instead of dividing themselves further, Germans found a way to breakdown the division enemies brought in their midst. But people like you will have us strengthen the walls (dysfunctional states) Nigerians used to divide us. You forget that part of the reason we went to war was because we refused the division of the Eastern region by Gowon into states, because we knew that we were stronger as a unit.

There are no more crusaders for Igbo unity in Igboland than people with Origins to places within the geographical expression called Anambra today.
No man works for Igbo unity more than Ndiigbo from that part of Igboland. Even on this forum. AnambraIst son is a shinning light in that regard. Always presenting good news from all parts of Igboland in form of news articles and pics. Outside Igboland, many presidents of Igbo Union are from Anambra. My Grandfather was the president general of Igbo Union in Bauchi at some point in his life time. Even on this forum, no one will forget the contributions of Onlytruth, the Eze Ndiigbo in Nairaland those days. He was a pan Igboist who united us all, he defended all parts of Igboland, galvanized and united all Igbos on this forum.
The Anambra man is a pan Igboist. He is wise to know that Igbo nine bu ofu. You on the other hand, you are an anomaly, you need to visit a mirror and take a real look at yourself.

Idealism and realism are two different thing.

The Idealist believe buhari is a no nonsense general while the realist know what the monster is made.

These are two different school of thought but the greatest part of it is that realist are more active with terms of grounds and always solve issues pro actively.

Idealist like you believes one day it will be like this or let me put it in biblical terms when all will come to the knowledge of the unity(truth)

So pazienza your unrealistic in belief of one future unity will still pass years by and many generations by without headway.

I am yet to see what the pan Igboist has achieved if not forums for gossips and stuffs alike.

Idealist are bunch of lazy people who if there emotions of unity aren't achieved might lead them to depression even suicide.


Now the realist and these are great achievers with people like even kwame nkrumah believes that the time is now and all hands must be on deck.

After the war for development regions were splitted further and further to get at the grass root. The aim is simple to achieve development in your various states or units.

It didn't stipulate pan Nigeria but simply state development and viability.

What we have today is that people cling emotionally so to old eastern region as if their lives depend so much on it.

Others has moved, you guys should also learn to move on.

State creation has come to be and each state strive to develop with resources at their disposal.


When cultural issues calls Ohanaeze can answer.

All Idealism are simply those who couldn't let old history. Just count others out and don't drag anyone into it. They are simply lazy with thoughts.

NNEWIsuper:
You can't comment on any Igbo thread because you're neither from Anambra nor Igbo..case closed

What should I be doing in Abia, enugu or Imo thread.

I respect my boundary so that's why I stick to my state thread.

NNEWIsuper:
He said the truth and you're crying and calling on the mods like a child beaten up by other children calling the dad instead of fighting back...that shows how cowardly you are and still affirms my stand that you're not an Anambra indigene let alone Igbo...

I still don't have your time.

Just that inferiority complex is bad. Have you seen me commenton abia or enugu thread.


So not time for strangers again.

VAQAXY:
Chiwude aka Eastlink, ok now we know whom we are dealing with.

Are you serious?

Rossikk:
Nahh... You guys started a big thread showing ''developments'' in Anambra. If this was a thread showing ''developments'' in Ogun state, I would be the first to jump on it if they showed open gutter streets as ''development''. You don't know this because you are on a lower level of mental reasoning, and are a brain-dead tribalist.

Jump into it and jump out. It is none of our business.

Leave the thread it is not for you.

Fullstop

Rossikk:
My own state is ENUGU state you dumb wingbat. The issues are the same ALL OVER NIGERIA apart from Abuja, and this is not an ethnic based rubbish thing like you brainless morons usually get into. I am way past that level and always post as a NIGERIAN. If you find that hard to believe, go jump in an open gutter, your second fcking home.

Well we have Enugu state thread.

Go there and advice them or should I provide the link for you.?

Rossikk:
You have a sick mind, which is why you live in open gutters, sand and dirt, and refuse to live like human beings, even when those of use who KNOW are trying to push you in the right direction to demand modern infrastructure. My ethnic group is irrelevant, and will surprise you if you know what it is.

It is a function of your low IQ and imbecility to blindly assume that anyone criticising developments in the east ''must be'' a Yoruba or some other ethnicity, since ostensibly an 'indigene' cannot possibly have issues with anything in Igboland. That is the thinking of a bone-headed zombie with rocks for brains.

leave the thread, go and give your people that advice. It is not needed here.

Maybe your live in Mars and what on earth will make someone suprise about Nigerian ethnicity.

As far as it is not Igbo leave the thread nobody is interested in who you are and were you come from.


Go and create your own state thread of your own state and give them the advice there......


Yours presence is irrelevant here.

Close the door after you.

LLobiorah:
Your eyes and ears, are they for decoration?

Because am yet to see the gunners.

Plea is different from must.

LLobiorah:
I'm looking at political expediency, as you have stated earlier. Or don't you wanna spite the 'would be newly created state'?

Spite as how?

Let me tell you mgbada gbaa, mgbada gbaa onaa bu maka na ezigbo dinta anoro nso...

So we are waiting for the balkanization to achieve your expediency.

LLobiorah:
Fortunately, the lots are gunning for Anambra

Nsogbu adiro......Nkwudoro ka ogu.....Ukpana chowa onwu o belu ugo na onu....

Bring those gunning for it and let's see.

LLobiorah:
Oh please!
Spare us the excuses of ebonyi having large land. Anambra would be split for political expediency, so that morons like you would attack the would be newly created state

Do you have the resources to move such motion for splitting?

I am looking at viability not expediency

LLobiorah:
Well sorry, is impossible.

Very possible if the powers that has to be push it as usual.

You need to be happy the flashlight is on your side.

LLobiorah:
Are you for real?

Yes because the land is there.

LLobiorah:
Finally the troll has agreed, that he's a troll. No worry, Anambra or Imo would be split, as some are canvassing. Then we gonna know, if it's a side talk.

Do you listen to yourself?

You want to split a state that even your states landmass is greater than.


Why not talk of creating another state with large landmass like ebonyi and Enugu.

Even if it is going to split, you not the one to decide.


Eastlink and his people will give us valid reason to fully trust they are with us.

LLobiorah:
Ezza state.. Sir that's not feasible.

Why?

LLobiorah:
Lolz
Most of these trolls would still come and say tomorrow.. Anioma was created for political expediency.

Don't insult us please.

Nobody is talking about anioma state here.

We are looking towards anim state though I proposed Ezza state before.


Stop side talks.

Eastlink:
Anioma state are not ready yet. Let the SE support Njaba/Anim state. Anioma people should sort their identity crisis first, else you help create a monster that is no different from Rivers state. Igbo identity is sacrosanct. Any Igboid group that wants the SE support must agree to add it to the SE as a 7th state. You don't empower the SS with another state no matter the pretence.

You are right but the 7th state is what I don't get?

Or you have already given Anim to be the sixth state.
