It is not about been a commercial city. It is still about the mentality of the people. An average Onitsha/ Anambra man is very price sensitive, especially the traders. They will rather use GUO at 15k than Arik air at 45k to fly from Lagos to Onitsha and return.

Anybody living in Onitsha will gladly fly to Asaba than using that Umuleri Airport with potential armed robbery menace on the airport road.

The siting of that airport in that area is a big minus. I come to Onitsha regularly and usually land in Asaba before moving to Onitsha. Why would I want to use an airport situated miles from Onitsha?

Considering the way people in that area behaves, I fear the security situation along that airport road. Airport road is usually targeted by robbers to rob people going or coming from the airports.

I am not hating o but if you ask me, the money should have been used to fix all the bad roads in Onitsha and Nnewi and give the cities a facelift in terms of beauty and livibility.

Onitsha is still far from what a modern city should be and Nnewi is even worse, with dusty roads and decrepit drainage systems.

The site is good for Airport. Security can be provided along the airport road. Airport is not supposed to be so close to a city center.

For using Asaba or Anambra airport depend on traffic. The one with more traffic will attract more passengers. Everyone flying to Anambra is not heading to Onitsha. Many are heading to villages, the airport will provide employment, taxi hubs,hotels, shopping centers etc.

Using mouth to cut a tree as usual

Thank God for her life

The price of habouring criminals and going after Eastern Security Network.

Nice list, not expensive

The same way some Yorubas will tell us that Tinubu is richer than Lagos before he became governor of Lagos state.

, The book is been fulfilled, prophet muhd said so in the Quran. Muslim men that die waging jihad against the enemies of Islam will be rewarded by Allah in heaven (jannah) as martyrs (shuhada) and receive seventy-two virgins to enjoy in blissful ecstasy..

Hmmmmm.......

Nonsense, ESN is after terrorist Fulani herdsmen not Asari

Fulani

oluwazt:
Shame on Yorubaa, not Igbo. Igbo since day one have been ready to deal with Fulani once and for all, but Yorubaas kept blocking the way. Same Yorubaas till today, are still attacking Nnamdi Kanu fighting these Fulani, same Fulani ravaging yorubaaland. Yorubaa is the capital problem of the so-called South!

Fear of Igbos have make them to give up their land to Fulanis.

BanevsJoker:
I thought inbreeding leads to deformity. She looks okay. So all those Wrong Turn movies were lying to us.

With time if the girl get pregnant from the same family member again, it will lead to deformities and weakening of immune system. That is when the inbreeding is continuous.

Congrats Prophet TB Joshua

mathmatica:
Yes and No.

Yes, in the sense that "Iron sharpeneth Iron" and "Do not forget the gathering of brethren"...... You are doing your spiritual life, no good, by excepting yourself from fellowshipping with true believer (that's if you indeed attend a bible believing church. Not the one that has a Daddy G.O and his entourage of goons).

No, in the sense that, the Sovereign Creator, after creating the physical world, including your first parent(Adam and Eve), decided to Rest and Sanctified a special day (Called the Seventh day), for worship. Why "God" will choose to rest on that special day, is beyond my tiny mind but He did and today, we call that day "Saturday"... Not "Sunday".

Please, if you're not a student of the Bible and world history, don't exhibit your ignorance through blind argument on the validity of Sunday worship.

First study the account of creation (Genesis 1 and 2. Exodus 20 vs and ask google, who changed the Christian day of worship from Saturday to Sunday.....and where does mortal man get the audacious authority to undo what God had appointed.

The Bible says that whatever believers bind on Earth shall be bind in heaven.

EgusiSoup:
Happy Sunday guys,

People now go to church for selfies and videos to post on social media.

Pastors now have make-up artists more like it’s a show.

For the past 4 years I don’t think I’ve gone to church. Not like I’ve lost my religion cos I still totally believe and trust in God. But I’m still asking, am I committing sin?

It is morally bad to entirely disconnect with the church. Come to think of it if everyone is not going to church, the church will collapse.Is good to hear the word of God once in while and churches need maintenance, new churches have to be built. Churches like Catholic Church that have the world biggest humanitarian aid (Caritas) have to keep reaching out to people in need.

So even if one is not going to church you have to keep contact with the church and support good work been carried out by the church.

darkwan:
its funny how fulanis outsmarted the igbos....

igbos back then thought they were the smartest and everybody else must follow.
christian,more educated and such....

when those english moroons left,igbos took over many goverment positions....

but to their shock,they found out other tribes had smart people too....

soo,they bunded with fulanis to stay in power....
but fulanis backstabbed them,the effect they are still feelin till today....

kikikiki....igbos are the real afonjas....

Laughing to death. Fulani is ransacking SW with high death toll and Igbos are people to mock.

iamJ:
Two scammers are greeting each other and una dey celebrate like say God and Jesus dey chill

What make them scammers, at least they have tough a lot of life in positive ways.

buckeyemedia:
Lazy man Nigeria is not a socialist state, go to North Korea to find what you are looking for, we practice capitalism in Nigeria.

I wonder why you want to live together with people you hate. Do you think that a country filled with injustice can thrive. Fulani herdsmen are ransacking Southwest with high death toll here and there is Igbo people you are fighting. Nonsense.

Niger Delta want to leave Nigeria more than Igbos. If SW is comfortable with Nigeria they can remain.

buckeyemedia:
There is nothing in Eastern Nigeria, they will crumble in 5 weeks without resources from the BRACED States Of Nigeria

Leave it for them let them crumble, why crying on their behalf. They have no resources good but they they want out.

buckeyemedia:
You cannot steal another man’s property, Eastern Nigeria belongs to Nigeria, that is why Ojukwu & your parents were soundly defeated, go and check any encyclopedia or world map, Biafra is in Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, Gabon, so go there and choose your 40 acres & 5 swines & start your life afresh.

You sound agitated and fearful, why are you bitter that some people want to have their own country and develop a better country with good living conditions. Why are you in pain.

Rossnitti:
Talk is cheap. Why haven't other West African capitals taken away Lagos' preeminent position? Not even Accra comes close. And Ghana have oil, cocoa, gold.

Then you think that out of nowhere, some city like Enugu or Onitsha will suddenly be attracting investments to rival Lagos?

Gosh......Why do I even bother?

Accra is for Ghanians,Lagos is for Nigerians. When Nigeria break up Lagos is will be for Yorubas. They will either uphold it or sink it. Enugu and Onitsha is for Igbos or Biafrans they can transform it to be better than Lagos of today.

thebosstrevor1:
South sudan broke away from sudan, are they doing better that sudan?

You can't create a competitive nation in 1 months, it takes years and don't think you can surpass a nation that is also competitive

Is better for South Sudan, they have their freedom instead of dying like fowls in the hands of Arab north Sudan that enslaved them. Some breakup is not about economic terms but to be free from killings and injustice.

buckeyemedia:
The sooner you stop living in your misconstrued paradise the better, it seems you are not serious about amounting to anything in life?

Someone that cannot reason properly only result to insult to cover up. What will someone be doing in Lagos after break up. Can’t the new nation build their own seaport , market and international airport.

You are just behaving like an agitated coward.

Rossnitti:
In fact, if Nigeria breaks up, I'll join the police of whatever govt LAGOS is under. Because I know for damn sure there will be MILLIONS of 'former Nigerians' residing in Lagos who will be PAYING ME BIG TIME to remain there and not be deported to their 'new countries'..

Una want division abi?

Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it!

Unfortunately for you, Lagos will face a lot of competition from the emerging nations. So you will be begging foreigners to remain in Lagos to boost your economy through tax returns.

vanbonattel:
They know it will save more lives.

Yes more lives will be saved, a serious new nation can build a better society. It will be difficult at the beginning but with lot of sacrifice, a country with better security, good hospitals, good road,nice schools, constant electricity, good salaries for workers can emerge in less than 5 years.

Break up of Nigeria is better for everyone, new countries can start from scratches and build a better society. Igbos and any other person can relocate to their new country and build a better nation.

thebosstrevor1:
Why do igbo people always think they have to give them power without the hardwork.

If you wanna be president, play Politics

Igbo people need to be strategic, instead of the threat, build a political relationship with the major and minority tribes which you think will benefit you.

Obasanjo was given power, Yoruba was settled on a platter of gold.
