Magic Bishop: see the bolded in your link.

Hehe.. I am sure you are having a comprehension problem! FYI, I said $$bns of accrued earnings yearly and not accrued earnings from oil.. certificated olodo

Magic Bishop: olodo.

That estimate that you pulled out of ur a@rse abi.

Then why are abokis fighting in the senate for upward review of the benchmark if it is so negligible?

why are your governors demanding for excess crude to be spent rather than saved?

That estimate if I may indulge you came from proceeds outside that of oil earnings.

Check any where and you will find that Nigerian government as a whole and the economy are by and large dependent on oil.

Oil ACCOUNTS FOR 90% of GDP and it will remain so if you lazy bums don't go back to farming cocoa.

It also worth noting that the SE accounts for 22% of revenue which shows a proportionate contribution per population representation.

I know that is why they recruited you bigots to sing their praise on-line because they know you do not have any brain of your own to think...

Now let me help correct that by asking you to go read this link below..

http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/pages/download/151

So you see that your so called oil contributes less than 35% to the GDP and accounts for less than 65% of her revenues as at 2011, and has shrunk considerably in 2012 and certainly in 2013 due to GEJ's brothers in the creeks having upper hand against the state.

taharqa: Which Govt gets $100bn yearly, you Congenital LIAR??

You are allowed to keep fooling yourself as is usual, with ya completely Senseless musings (which in this case are so glaringly stu.pid that not a single person hv supported you so far, not even you fellow Clowns), BUT you are allowed to tell bare-faced Lies here. You have been warned.

Hehe.... Abeg go educate yourself with this press release as at 2012... you know you are not as half clever as my neighbor's lobster pet

http://www.firs.gov.ng/Media-Centre/FIRS%20Press%20Releases/PRESS-RELEASE--NON-OIL-COLLECTION-LOOKING-UP.pdf

Magic Bishop: the sooner you stop planning with other peoples money the better.

You must remember how self sustainable you were when you were a cocoa republic.

Can you justify what percentile of that billion dollars came from your pockets?

The last time I checked, the regions that contribute the most to Nigeria's GDP is not the region with oil. If the 2012 estimates are to be believed, oil only accounted for only 22% of the gross earnings of the FG.

FYI, go to this link and see the sectors that keeps the Lagos bubbling in wealth!

omanzo02: U are the mediocre here, seating Kings/queens, presidents and prime ministers in Europe don't use or look like that, doing so can end their political career, they mostly use [b]Airbus 300 [/b]and don't show off, u need a re-orientation.

@ bold... you must be the KING OF OLODO KINGDOM Airbus 300 my foot

Magic Bishop: If I may add, the future is definitely going East.

Whether they like it or not investors are coming and not some repackaging firm that now dominate the Lagos Industrial base but heavy Industries from auto manufacturers , shipping and even aviation! Don't be surprised to hear soon in the news of a major European airline setting up a transit hub in Calabar for their newly established African hub. This airline had been negotiating with former regimes but the bribes did not kick in enough and their initial plan was to expand and manage the Abuja airport but given the security situation and proximity to boko haram and also growth forecasts for the SE, this global airline will soon conclude taking over CALABAR Airport.

Stop deceiving yourself. How I wish I could post the FDI into Nigeria by region so you know how far your so called East has been ignored and left behind!

Beside, your N250million car riding madam could have spent only 5million of that amount to do a feasibility study for Enugu airport and give Her an airport like MMA2.. hehe like we know them... she rather enslave her people than her self

talktimi: I understand your point of view but what im trying to say is that this particular airport has been left stagnant for over 3 decades and so i'm bound to be happy when a govt comes across and picks interest in improving it from the present status quo. Could something better have been proposed ? Definitely, but we can not correctly identify the budget constraints this particular ministry is working with. Also knowing fully well that (serious) airports are constantly under expansion, definitely improved architectural structures are bound to follow even if not at the MMA then at least at other international airports scattered across the country

I understand your view point also, however, I asked this question: With the billions of dollars that accrue to the government yearly ( in excess of $100bn) why is it difficult for the government to put in place an airport project of the future?

Can you compare even this Kenya airport with that CGI that they want us to call our airport of the future

Magic Bishop: In your demented little mind you assume that airports are built independently from the city they are meant to service i.e. power, roads and rail networks servicing the airport are supposed to be independent from the city management.

Go and ask Fashola to do some thing for once other than sweeping Lagos roads with remnant APC rally paraphernalia

Fasola has done more than your GEJ would ever do even if He was given 20 years at the saddle in aso rock ( but God forbid, He destined to vacate there by 2015!).

I find it even laughable that your own statement indicts you and your puppet master shed of an airport project. FYI, when MMIA was planned way back in 1969, It had railways planned as part of the phase two of the airport modernization.

Kindly tell you GEJ puppet government minister to stick to that plan and put in place a modern airport building and services...

Abeg... you people should help me tell these mediocres how a seating President and Commander in Chief really looks like

Magic Bishop: Your stupid1ty is only equal to your level of bigotry.

Haha.... I have challenged you with one question:Why on earth will a modern airport in this day and age be built without a mono-rail or intra-city railway system and all you could come up with is talk about Fashola and His achievements

Magic Bishop: see the derailer himself accusing others.

I know your game here and which is to total distract from the main content

but it won't work rather your are making a mockery of your pay masters.

Hehe... you can post a million gifs... you must think everyone on here is a low lifer like you and exist at the mercy of your etisalat data plan .

We know those who live on stipends from aso rock to post on social networks to promote mediocrity.

Magic Bishop: wealth is relative expression.

I am on unlimited data plan.

poverty

to prove it lets start with some gifs

Haha.. see this one talking about data plan when we are rolling with fibre optics watching 3D movies online with 3D home threatre .

Aside, do not derail this thread. This thread is about exposing people like you to what kind of airport we should be demanding from FG to be built in Lagos MMIA

talktimi: I cant believe some people are sad about this project. Of course there's always room for improvement but that doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate positive efforts on ground. Obviously Gej's main flaw is that he's not in the APC. This is our country in case you guys have forgotten o

This has nothing to do with a political party, rather it is more about us asking ourselves: IS THIS THE BEST WE CAN DO TODAY THAT WILL SERVE US FOR ANOTHER 15YEARS?

They say the kind of blocks you put down would determine the kind of house you intend to build and how long you hope it would last for.

Have you asked yourself, when it comes to themselves, these Ministers and the President always go for the last 2014 models of cars for their official use? Why don't they buy 1986 cars for their official use so we really know we need to start from somewhere?

When the President went and ordered for new Presidential jets, why did He not go for a Gulf stream 4 or a B757? Why did He go for the latest Gulf Stream G650

aventura: little exposure?
Do you work in Saturn?

Hehe.. sorry I forgot to ask, how was market today? He busy like say nah last Saturday before Christmas abi customer no show at all

IKEMBA NNEWI: I guess you werent taught ''Comprehension'' @ ''harvard'', cos if you had an inkling of what that nomenclature meant you would have been able to deduce from our posts(mine and that of the person i quoted) that we were discussing about Oby Ezekwesili and not NOI! So much for your ''harvard'' education! Your behavior is no doubt typical of Ibadan poly students!

Hehe.. another village mediocre parading. Welcome on board. Disgruntled elements who praise sing those who enslave them. Your comment is obvious you are both supporting NOI by buttressing the nonsensical statements raised by Madam Oby. I know you think everyone has a lobster brain like you and can't read between the lines

Magic Bishop: You get paid by the post abi?

Abeg... see what one of your brother wrote here https://www.nairaland.com/147066/why-nigeria-still-behind.

Hehe... I know your heart beats because your etisalat MB would soon be wiped out Don't worry Match of the Day is almost on....

Magic Bishop: OHH I see fashola built those bypass in 1970.

ode!

you can do better

Hehe.. Fasola ghost must be hunting you in your dreams. This thread is about the shed of an airport your puppet GEJ is using to deceive you people.

Abeg, see how the new Lagos now looks like. I know your village does not have electricity, please satisfy your eyes with these pictures

Magic Bishop: Indeed you can do better by wasting other people's oil revenue.

A city that cannot even solve common sanitation issues and transportation is begging for a first tier airport.

How many int'l flights do they have operating in and out of MMA in a year and compare that to what they have operating within a week in CDG

Olodo even if they build the best airport with 10 rwys nobody will come to that your filthy city.

Wake up and stop living in the past. This is the new lagos if the black and white television in your village has not shown you it yet

Magic Bishop: Since you have singled France's CDG airport why not compare every aspect of human endeavor between France and Nigeria.

Olodo. Your cheap tricks has been long anticipated in this thread.

Haha... watch most of my post whenever you people post the nonsense of the MMIA remodeling, I always cite these two airports: CDGT2 and Pearson International in Toronto as something we should be clamoring for as a minimum.

For a country that makes a minimum of $100bn in crude oil sales alone yearly, it is disgraceful that we cannot afford to put in place an airport that can serve us for the next 20 years.

However, when it comes to building houses, I am sure the structure your GEJ and His megalomaniac wife put in place is of same pedestal as those you find in reclusive island in the Caribbean. When it comes to themselves, the know who how to make it looks like what is obtainable in the West but when it comes to what affects the average Nigerian, they scream we are a 3rd world country.

Magic Bishop: Since you know it all then advice your APC governor on what type of airport infrastructure will be adequate for your needs.

I have nothing more to say to you.

Ingrate!

Abeg, see Pearson International Airport. This is what an airport should look like! These are the things we should see and demand our government do better.

Whenever I fly into this airport, tears always fill my eyes because I see the beauty of human innovation, inspiration and doggedness. This airport as at when I visited there last this year is still undergoing construction and it has mono-rail that takes you from arrival to departure terminals. Another classic airport!

Hehe.. learn to not settle for less! We have the money, we can do better and we should never be satisfied with mediocrity

FYI, I have no allegiance to APC and I do not support APC as a party. My views on this forum may come as being sympathetic to APC, simply because most of the people they have as governors are performers, unlike the ones in your ogogoro ridden party

Magic Bishop: How can I blame you. As I said earlier FG is wasting their time with that slum village

What has your useless State government done so far as per aviation infrastructure.

Delta has two standard aerodromes that were funded wholly from outside FG intervention, Akwa Ibo financed their own, the same for Gombe and lately Jigawa. What has the center of excellency under Asiwaju Thiefnibu done since 1999 with all the funds.

If you can do better then go and start with your phantom lekki project.

Look you are wasting your time. Thank goodness you recognize Delta has an aerodrome! An airport that can barely handle an ATR72 is what you are comparing with MMIA?

FYI, the Lekki Airport which is being modeled after standsted in operations only is by far an asset than that local shed in Asaba. You keep going on and on about Lagos, Tinubu. If only GEJ in the last 4 years He has been at the saddle has been able to grow Nigeria's economy the way those two men have grown Lagos economy in the last 10 years and more. Nigeria by now would be posting GDP of about $650bn and more, and We would not be talking about sheds of an airport like the one in the CGI.

FYI, see check out the layout of CDGT2 .... classic

Magic Bishop:
I have passed through Charles DeGaul Int'l severally and there are several terminals. Building on one additional terminal is a small feat to France given the number of tourist that fly into that country year round.

So from what I can deduce GEJ's accomplishments must be assessed on first tier world status.

Have you forgotten that you are a 3rd world nation?

Please you have nothing to offer.

move along!

@bold, do you even know how big Terminal 2 is CDG is a City, and airport with capacity for FIVE freaky RUNWAYS! You need to take a Mono-Rail from Terminal 2E to board your gate for departure at L,M,N, O! It takes you 15mins to drive round to park.

As for your 3rd World nation comments, it shows if Nigeria was left with your type, we would never be better than Abu Dabi! No one country external is going to come make Nigeria a first tier nation. You start by providing next to nothing infrastructure, improving security, housing and building industries.

Imagine the $$bn being kept in foreign banks as reserves and are being used by Western government to prop their economy, if We had visionary leaders, even from the excess crude proceeds, We can construct an airport better than even CDG2.

Magic Bishop: Before you can walk you must first crawl.

You must start some where and this administration is obviously moving forward.

Those airports you mentioned started humbly and gradually expanded to their current status. Apart from Dubai airport which was built from scratch to it's current dimensions (and it still being remodeled as we speak) none of the aforementioned airports were what they were 20 years ago. Technology, aircraft capacities and passenger growth over the years have left their mark on all those airports including the one you have pictured. You must also consider the current passenger handling and aircraft that are being or expected within the near future serviced at the MMA .


Yes we are playing catch up because nothing was done in the past.

So stop whining your nonsense.

This just goes along way to reinstate my claim that Lagos as a whole doe not deserve any further investment from the FG purse. Much has been given to you. Go and ask Thiefnibu to account for 14yrs of stewardship!

FYI, CDG Terminal 2 was built from scratch so I do not know what you are on about!

I wonder the day you lots will stop this blah blah crawling and walking Dubai made a bold statement, declaring that by 2020 1/3 of the world ODIs would be through Dubai's three main airports and they put in place plans to actualize it and today, Dubai is now a heavy hub for traffic from Europe, Asia and indeed Africa connecting millions of passenger yearly.

Nigeria and indeed Lagos is primed to be a major gateway in West Africa to the rest of the World, and you need more than a shed of an airport to make that happen. Imagine with every state in Nigeria owning an airport, coupled with 20 flights from airports in just 5 of the West African countries near by in the morning, will that airport you put up in that CGI cope?

CDG terminal 2 I posted has being undergoing construction for nearly 7 years running but they knew what future they wanted and began by creating an airport that can serve that future.

Why is it difficult for us to create bright futures in our minds in Nigeria and actually make them happen? With $3bn spent over the next 6 years, Lagos MMIA can be transformed to have a capacity of nearly 60 million and that airport would serve the country for another 25 years!

If you do not put in place the right facility, passengers and airline operators will avoid your airport and you will never grow your passenger capacity.

As for Lagos, you hating of the city would not change a thing. As someone from Benin City, I would have loved to see some traffic diverted to Benin Airport to alleviate the traffic situation in Lagos. However, I have to admit, Lagos is to Nigeria what London is to the United Kingdom. It is set in a beautiful location, with rivers and seas, with island that favours business ventures. So stop hating, the FG knows Lagos is a financial hub in West Africa and a business power house in Africa, hence the investment would continue to flow in from both central and at state level.

Magic Bishop: So that they can transport you from Gate 5 to Oshodi, abi.

Is there any rail structure on ground in Lagos? If you want to mention Fashola's light rail then don't.

It is not enough for you that they are upgrading the airport but you want them to have a rail network that will transport you to your door step, ode!

Go and ask your Governor to complete his phantom rail project first and if he finishes it at all ask him to commence linking it to the airport.

Nah FG go do everything for una?

I no blame you, nah free oil dey worry una.

Abeg, take eye see something wey people dey call airport

1. Terminal 2

2. Terminal 1 -Old terminal

awodman: As Usual you didn't disappoint...Kudos

I know most of you have not traveled far and wide to see what humanity is doing, hence when they put two slabs on the walls and call it an airport, you all jump high heaven.

Nigeria has the money to enter into a joint venture for an airport such as CDG or Pearson International in Toronto, so why can't or don't we do it? FYI, the airport shown in that CGI, can it serve 80 million passengers in a year?

Does that airport look like an airport that can take x2 A380s, X2 B747 x2 B773ER (or the new B777X), x5 A333 x10 A320 and x10 A320 in the space of 1hr?

Does it occur to most of you that West Africa and indeed Africa is growing at a pace and that in the next 20 years, We should be planning on have an airport in Lagos and Abuja that can accommodate at least 60 million passengers yearly?

Imagine a modern airport to be built in 2014 or 2015 will have no modern railway connecting the city, no airport coach terminus, no mono-rail, and a sign saying TRANSIT TERMINAL

Abeg, see this closer look of CDG arrival, the new one. I would have taken photos of Terminal A-E when I was there beginning of last week so you know that modern airports are built like a city!

Mind you, that road you see go out of the airport, takes you through to the A1, A86, stretch towards Star de France, Versailles, etc

aventura: Your post reeks of hatred, jealousy. You go school: show us ur certificate. Do you want to compare the world bank with the Skye bank you working at if at all no be microfinance bank you dey work.

Hehe... Skye bank ke? You see, most of you have very little exposure that is why you still see someone working in world bank as high heaven. There are many Nigerians working in places of high intellect, and they do not make so much noise about their achievements.

FYI, I have no hatred toward NOI, all everyone is asking is, she should focus on her job and do it properly, else she can as well return back to the same world bank for which we know her resume is now condemned to the dustbin of history - i.e. she has no chance of being re-admitted to that place.

Every working professional knows you are only as relevant as the latest achievement and success you create and that yesterdays news of success is only an indication of a potential.

aventura: do you need proof of a stomach upset. What grade are you?

Hehe... it is obvious you have not worked in an establishment where proper work place codes and ethics are in place and are enforced. The minister, having admitted to being sick ought to have sent a letter from an approved physician to the HOR, and a confirmation from the appropriate quarters she is answerable granting her leave to be absent from duty.

That you verbally claim to be sick is no justification for any one to believe or admit your words as being the truth. I know in Nigeria, anything goes, but FYI, when you work with a Fortune 100 company, this is the standard expected of you and you have little or no option. In fact it is part of your employment contract package and you are expected to be abide by it.

Question: Why is there no train or mono-rail in the new airport rendering?

Abeg, see what an airport looks in the image below! This is Charles de Gualle one of Europe's finest airport

IKEMBA NNEWI: Dude, it will be nothing short of a miracle if anybody in your ancestry(Both past and present) can match half this woman's intelligence! Bloody Hater!

If I may ask you people, what has the so called intelligence of NOI brought to Nigeria or the world? Being bookwarm does not translate to being street smart!

Yes she got degrees in prestigious University, and so some of us do. Yes She worked with world bank as an employee, albeit, executive employee, so some of us do. However, She given a test and She failed woefully the first time, and now Shes failing on a proportion that Her resume would be ignored by any of the major global financial institutions.

So tell me, what can you credit Her intelligence to in Nigeria as far as the economic advancement of Nigeria is concerned? Do not tell me She initiated the Debt relief because we now know better what transpired as far as the Paris club debt is concerned.

Finally, NOI is not bigger than any institutions in Nigeria and She's not the most clever minister that have held of the position of minister of finance in Nigeria, so give us a break.

Hehe.. like we do not know these bunch of jokers are hungry people looking for contract from the presidency! Is it the same useless Afenifere who sold the whole of South West and Murdered AD for a pot of pottage? Or have we all forgotten so soon the revelation about this Yinka Odumakin whom has been challenged to provide the nation with His resume and the job portfolio He has held so we can ascertain how He came about His wealth and He could not proffer any reasonable response

Like Fashehun like Odumakin

“These lawmakers need know this and be decorous!. That fellow that was blatantly disrespectful to Okonjo-Iweala may not in the real world qualify to be her Research Assistant. Let’s face facts,” she said.

It is pity that some people always think of themselves more highly than they ought to. It goes to show by how much those that have various leadership position in Nigeria love Nigeria one bit less.

Madam Oby should realize that there is nothing new under the sun, and I wonder what and who she thinks NOI is that she cannot be grilled by the Nigerian people, of whom the legislators symbolizes.

How I wish GEJ was a performer like Fashola and then I see Him with Picture like this >>> It will make me even joyous to make a full portrait of the picture and hang it somewhere in my office so even gets talking and wanting to know more. Alas! the reverse is the case
