Dband has always been a huge flop. There is no song of his that makes any sense. He is actually forcing himself to be a singer of which he is not one. He should try another line of trade because he is gradually going broke due his musical incoherency.

Is no surprise this people on the other side of the niger can do anything for money. This is the type of new we often get from this people. They are the bane of this country.

Soyenka has become a burden and a huge embarrasment to Nigeria. He brought secret cultism that has claim more lives than any war that I know of. I think he should be given abiolaa type passage. Dude does not add anything to the intelectual development of Nigeria if not cultism.

lagcity: You people can kick and whine all you want, there will be no apology from Fashola. Awolowo will resurrect and apologize before Fashola does Useless people, you wont go and fight the cattle herders killing your people in Imo state. Siddon there with your wrapper around your waist, useless men.

I thought okorocha is part of u people? Why are u people denying him now that he needs u APC to fight for him? We are already seeing him as leperous APC that is why we don't want to go near him. Yarobas are real betrayers they have already left okorocha in the rain.

Amanwulu1: no he only confirmed Awo was not a gud yoruba leader since brf is ur best.

Was it not the same awoh who committed suicide?

Bliss4Lyfe: I see, it is like the new Anambra city Soludo makes reference to is situated along the Orient oil field region. Dat will be nice, as a hub for technology. Now i see the reference to Japan and Dubai. Which ever, Onitsha is ripe for its commercial status as the New York of Nigeria. The job prospects in that city is enormous, to be ignored for an oil dependence outlook. The Retail industry is a massive employer of youth.

That is whole the idea. You cannot achieve that international status without an international cargo/passenger airport in Anambra. Orient Petroleum is bearing most of the cost of the airport project, its strictly on PPP arrangement. Anambra state provided the land and paid the compensation to the host communities. Surveyed and fenced the land and handed it over to the Orient Petroleum for project execution.

Of course Soludo is definitely the next governor. No demon can stop it.

goodslayer: like who cares what y'all view of us is. With all the lies and slaving for greens non of your kismen make it to top 5 riches men in naija isnt that a shame.

In igboland, what we have is called normal curve, where average igbo man is economically sound unlike in yarobaland where few people are rich and 98% of populace are poor.

Odenigbo Aroli: Nwanne,do you really think an airport is our biggest worry,now? There is Asaba and Enugu Int'l airport and I think we should make do with those until it becomes extremely important we must an airport. Asii uche onye adia njo.

Nwanne we need that airport more than even those that have it. Thank God the wishes of NL does not affect what is on the ground. Orient Petroleum is spearheading it as we speak now. They will fund it 85% while Anambra will make up for the balance, already the land had been provided and compensation paid to the host communities. There is no way a state like Anambra with two major economic cities and now oil and gas economy does not have urgent need for an International Cargo/Passenger airport. Already the construction of the airport has been approved by FG, the land has been surveyed and fenced round.

I will keep posting this to remind some of doubting 'thomas' in our midst that the prelimnary work has taken off at the site.



THERE’S TALK ABOUT AN AIRPORT PROJECT THERE. CAN YOU ELUCIDATE ON THAT?

Yes, there will be an airport. I spoke about Orient Petroleum Resources PLC being a holding company. The holding company has four subsidiaries. One subsidiary is the refining of petro-chemical component which is going to operate the refinery; the second is the one that is about producing oil and gas; that is called the exploration and production subsidiary. Then we have a subsidiary which is gas and power which is supplying gas to Nkalagu cement, to breweries at 9th Mile, and possibly to this SABmiller Brewery in Onitsha. The final one is the infrastructure and services which will look after the airport and other infrastructure like housing and so on which will support the operations of the other three subsidiaries.

So the vision was that Orient will be a vertically integrated company. It derives its own raw materials, sells its products; provides its services. The airport was supposed to provide an outlet for aviation kerosene which is one of the products of the refinery. So planes will land there and load with aviation kerosene. That’s the aviation fuel (ATK). So there will be a pipeline that takes aviation kero there; the aircraft will load and we can be selling aviation kero to Kano International Airport, to Lagos, even to Ghana and other places right from that point. So the airport itself is to provide an outlet for aviation kero and also it will provide a quick source of spares. Let’s say you need something in the refinery, you fly it in. So we do have licence from the federal government to set up an international cargo airport to fly in materials there. This airport is located in about 1,200 hectares of land in Ifite Umuleri. It’s already surveyed and work will start very soon now that we have income from the oil production.

SO HOW SOON DO YOU RECKON THE AIRPORT WILL BE READY?

The airport will be constructed in phases just like the refinery. The first phase will be the runway and the cargo shed. Those ones could be done in 18 months and then the next phase will be the second runway so that it will be like Abuja which is getting the second runway. Lagos already has two runways. So we’re looking far ahead. These runways are of international standard; the ICAO standard (International Civil Aviation Authority).

They’re long enough to take a Boeing 747 cargo. The biggest jumbo jet can land in the airport; that’s why it’s so long; 1,300 hectares and the runway is about 4 kilometres. It’s longer than Enugu and Asaba airports. It’s again futuristic to make sure that in 20 years to come it will still be serving us.

SO IT WILL BE STRICTLY A CARGO AIRPORT AND NOT FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES?

Not quite. The licence is for international cargo and domestic passengers. So you can have passengers who are inside Nigeria. It’s not international passenger; it can’t take off from there and fly to London; no, but I can bring in materials from outside the country and fly materials out of the country; that’s cargo, but the airport itself can operate as a domestic airport. It will have a runway and a terminal building. The one in Enugu is international passenger airport but this one is international cargo.

He is a Nigerian precisely from Anambra State. It is on record that Anambra has the largest number of human capital in Nigeria.

kutchs: Interesting how you call for patience with Okorocha but not ready to extend same to the Goodluck led FG. Your APC accuses Goodluck daily of failure without acknowledging the gains that have been made by the man.
Let me ask you what you have to say about Okorocha building new general hoapitals in each of the 27 Lgs when the existing ones have not been properly funded. Do you know that work on those 'waste' has since stopped since May last year? What do you have to say about his move to build a PG hall @ UI when IMSU and Imo Poly sthdents are suffering accomondation problem?

Simply put that guy is a fraud, crook and a green shirted snake. Like someone said, he is a bag of wind, propaganda and drama king, we are waiting for him.

Don't waste your time with that silly boy, he is not even living in the roches imo state. Forget about NL ranters, few people remaining in imo state cannot differentiate that clown roches and a scam artist.

All the projects are either abandoned or grounded for past one year as we speak, nothing is happening with all loans he has acquired.

Rather he is busy using the lean imo state purse to service his new yuruba and hausa godfathers. Lmao

Mr.Excel:
Me personally, an airport is good but not important at the moment. A cargo airport perhaps in Anambra wll be good because of Anambra (Onitsha and Nnewi) are commercial and manufacturing centers, but a passenger airport? Nah ma, Enugu can serve that purpose. Why spend millions of $$$ on airport that won't breakeven in the next 20years?

Still your shallow opinion.

Before you get heart attack: the land has been secured, surveyed and fenced around Nteje/Aguleri borders by Obi. FG gave Anambra approval to construct International Cargo/Passenger airport, even the prelimnary work has resumed there by Orient Petroleum and their foriegn partners. From ever available stats Anambra International Cargo/Passenger airport will be the Nigeria's busiest airport after Abuja and lagos when completed.

Longeria: Your defination of free right of association is constant breaking of people's heart and destiny abi?Okorocha is a political prostitute nothing more nothing less.

The last we checked roches is not even Igbo. It was confirmed that his father happens to come from Taraba.

Even though we don't want anything yuruba and aboki signature on it just like APC. Ngige should just forget about the up coming Anambra election, because he is not gonna come 5th in that election. Ordinarily Ngige would have come 2nd or 3rd but fashole's actions so far has thrown Ngige into the bad books of Igbos.

Another sensible people in that region.

In a press release obtained by Sahara Reporters today, the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) in Lagos, Nigeria has condemned the actions of Lagos State Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola and the Lagos State government following the deportation exercise of July 24th, 2013. The document also demands a public apology and additional compensation for the displaced Igbos.

The measure, the second in less than a year, moved over 70 Igbo destitutes from detention centers in Lagos, by truck, to the Upper Iweka bridge in Onitsha, Anambra State where they were abandoned in the middle of the night.

The report states: “without any reservation the CDHR see such an act as highly misguided and violate the express provision of certain sections of the Nigerian constitution. Ultimately, such action constitute an infringement on certain fundamental human rights of those involved pursuant to Section IV of the Nigeria constitution, the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights, and the United Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights.”

The document warns that the precedence set by the deportation decision bears the danger of precipitating a civil conflict in Nigeria. “Fashola’s action is merely a class war against the ordinary people within the society”, it furthers.

Abagworo: It is same everywhere in Nigeria. So we should vote for a party that should reverse that trend gradually and not those interested in their pocket. PDP has tried for 14years and still no power, no water, no refinery, no security, no roads and we all still live in slums.

Are you seeking for a way to smuggle in your ofemmanuu and aboki party? Its not gonna happen. Even the clown rochas will be shocked as to how imo state people will throw him away with bath water. As for SE its PDP and APGA zone and we are far better for it. If you do not like PDP and APGA, quickly relocate to the rural states of oyo, ekiti, ogon where you will see the real under development. By the time you sleep in a mud house and wake up in gutter filled with sh1ts packed inside nylon bags you will know better. That is yuruba and their APC for you.

It is no longer a news that Roches father is from Taraba. Chekwas has just confirmed it. The north used their own among us, but we will not be part of it. An average SEner sees anything yurubas and aboki in it as a taboo. There is no way yuruba and hausa party can fly in the East of the Niger

How much do they pay this mods? What are the benefits? Why am I hearing appointment and resignation and all that. Or just parading the NL walls..

Okorocha is a first class clown..

me_for_you: Anambra doesn't need an airport. The ones in enugu and owerri are enough

That is your opinion.

Already FG has given Anambra license and approval to construct an International Cargo/Passenger airport.

Those states you mentioned particularly Imo state do not even need an airport more than Anambra with three cities. Maybe that explains why the airport is grossly under utilized.

bushwailo: Dude are you serious
Onitsha and Nnewi growing faster than Lagos
And Lagos has not changed a bit
Wonders shall never end.

Do you live in a Cage ?
Or are you one of those stuck abroad for lack of papers

Shattaap lagos is full of sh1t and ghetto everywhere..

ekt_bear: Soludo is the man.

Hmmmmm
