It shows that Ndigbo are becoming politically savvy by openly displaying their disdain for an anti-poor party of Fashola's elitist leaning.

What Fashola did is comparable to Mitt Romney's 47% blunder. Nigerians must resist elitist capitalists with the heart of devil!

Only the operating airlines to the Coal city airport will determine its profitability or otherwise.
You the OP have absolutely nothing tangible to say about something that is yet to start. Unless you are one of the vultures at Murtala, who relish collecting 'egunje' from or molesting Igbo passengers. When Enugu takes off, such vultures will loose more than 50% of their dirty-money intake.

For those that complain about unavailability of lands in Igboland, there is no place one will find abundance of land in South East like in areas around Enugu. From Agwu to Udi, Nkanu to Ezeagu areas, massive empty lands for residential or industrial estates are abound.
Some savvy investors are already buying lands even in areas such as Amechi- Idodo and Umulumgbe.
As other ethnic groups in Nigeria become more intolerant toward Ndigbo, more bungalows and duplexes will be springing up in hundreds in areas 30km radius from Coal City - built by returnees.

Personally, no matter the type of development those who call the shots want for Enugu, the city's relatively clean and green environment must be protected.
More tree planting should be encouraged, and laws to protect old trees in the city must be enacted. Those beautiful mango trees in old Enugu ( Iva-Valley, Coal Camp areas around UNTH, GRA , etc), were painstakingly planted by lovers of green environment.
Late C C Onoh took it further by planting many palm trees around his properties at GRA.
The canopy of hills which stretches from Agwu area through Enugu, and ends at 9th Mile area of Udi, is the only such landscape in Igboland. The hill no doubt gave the city its unique name.

A great musician's unbiased view of a confused society. Your messages are clear like the sounds from your saxophone. But wait, no punch on "mumu" musicians who play for and support those mumu politicians?

I bet your next album will be the bomb!

Ball- boys need search that Emir's Babariga if the ball he is playing go missing. I swear, that thing can swallow 5 footballs at once!

Nigerian's old mentality of ' my Mercedes is bigger than yours' has continued to evolve since the 70s oil boom years.
The problem now is, that drivers of cheap Japanese vehicles are claiming to be the new kings on Nigerian roads. Those folks don't realize they aren't got the real machines. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes- Benz and Audi are the real machines!

Nebeuwa: Enugu should be our main priority. We must pour funds and locate industries in this city so it can be a fitting capital for the Ndigbo.

The writing is already on the wall.

I didn't realize this until now.

Enugu should not be an industrial city; Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi can fill that position.
Enugu as a banking and tech hub would be more appropriate. The city should remain clean without pollution found in industrial cities. Perhaps like Frankfurt. My take though.

Cape Town can hire the services of Nigeria's Gov. Fashola; he can help deport the baboons to perhaps Mozambique

@Shymexx, so you think that all those powerful African kings were not involved in selling their own people to white men? It's a historical fact that they were the real consumers of white man's whisky and schnapps, who like Oliver Twist , were asking and getting more by sending their army or gangs to raid and capture more people from villages for sale.
You definitely do not understand, until you hear from those current monarchs about the exploits of their forefathers; or study history.
Our mind for history is shallow, so our people prefer to avoid the bitter truth and move on. You are equally following a familiar step - the forgetful African mind!

Looks like a VIP lounge, the compact space seems odd for an airport departure hall.

Descendants of African slave merchants, shamelessly paying homage to their age-long trading partner ( the British monarchy) ; the joys of their heart clearly mocking the forgetfulness of African minds.

Stuttgart Wonders !

Alhaji Umaru Dikko is back to show the ruling party how to spend oil money.
The vultures are , it seems, getting ready to finish what is left of Nigeria.

Obele nwa, you think you're making any sense? Go and drink your akamu, it's noon already!

Gov. Obi is showing some folks the difference between civilizations! He just rightfully showed where Fashola belongs - the club of ethnic bigots!

freecocoa: I'm clicking on all the age groups mentioned so una can't fit know my age .

Ada, kee ije? Still down for your moniker! La Isla Bonita....

The way Nigerians are being chased like rabbits across Africa is becoming worrisome. Shall Nigerians with our anaconda start running away from local ladies who like 'em?

This looks like what Germans call " Elefanten Rennen" ( racing elephants)

We must also remember that she was certainly a high ranking party official before her appointment.

victorD3: Germans are worst

It's the Yankees!

Italians could be terrible racists, especially the ones from rich north. Italian men like black females, i think mainly for the thing under skirt.

Horus: Why fight for Integration and Italian citizenship in a racist country?, let us develop Africa and there will be no need to beg the racists.
I also suggest that we should raise the price of bananas for Italians

Bananas in Italian stores are from South America. The ones from Africa are pineapples, from Ghana and Ivory Coast.
Europeans can go to war for Tea, Coffee and Banana. The banana thrower could even be a Nazi.

Another version of Ojuelegba stories of the 80s/90s. Some folks will say " Benin things" . Pathetic situatation though.

He must have received a Mafia treatment!

We must not allow our language die! Igbo amaka!

Afam, please take coal city off this damn thread!

Bianca can do what her brother GB ( the only former mayor in Nigeria), refused to do.
Though she can not fill the shoes of her father, but she can start where he stopped.

collynzo2: since when did Enugu people start speaking French?

Who spoke French , boy?
Sorry, i thought the news was true. Didn't watch the video before commenting.

Ada Enugu, she has politics in her blood. She can be a role model to young Igbowomen.
I would personally love to see more of our women in politics, both at state and federal levels.
