Owerri Airport incoming 63,258 travelers, while Kano with her populace and continent 53,013

Tochiology:
Hmm! From that data, Abuja had more air traffic compared to Lagos and it's somehow unbelievable.

Again, how come Owerri's air traffic is increasing even to the extent it is higher than that of Kano inspite of the seeming insecurity in the region and the incessant seat at home orders? Does it mean that the city is more economically viable than we think? Food for thought!

Stats can really be incredible at times.

Igbo people live in every part of Nigeria than any other tribe.

So i am not suprised that air traffic is increasing in the southeast, also consider the security situation on ground in the south east, most travelers will prefer to use air for safety than land

All the airports in top six are actually international airports.

So I don't understand why some people are celebrating like they won a world cup.

There's only one international airport in Southwestern Nigeria and we are not complaining about marginalization.

Majority of the airports with large numbers are international airports and I think Owerri served as diversion when Enugu was being repaired.

Kano, Lagos, Abuja and Enugu are international airports.

obyrich:
Insecurity is making road transport unpopular so air traffic is increasing. This is especially true given there is no functional rail transport system or good Federal roads in the South East. Air travel is the safest.

hahaha see them and logics.I guess at this point you people have run out good logics if this is all you can bring out.From what you just said now you have admitted that Igbos are truly marginalised by your FG that is why no single Rail way in South East and tomorrow if they cried being marginalised you and your type will call them liars.God will keep on exposing you people for hating Igbos

stinechykee:
Oga it has not reach to abuse and insults.Why is it that when you people met strong argument you Yorubas resort to insults instead of providing your own strong argument to counter it

Strong argument. Lol. Where's the strong argument?

What's the argument about? I'm curious.

BlowYourMind:
Pain? you are quite ignorant of what you are saying, Lagos alone in the south west swallows all the baby factory ritualism drug trafficking criminality region, so what are you talking about, the same buba maruwa that claim every place he visited is the highest in drugs.

The way you people bring out lagos knowing fully well that lagos is made up of many tribes. LOL...Cant you people be proud of other States in SW Geopolitical zones?

Do you know who does this?

People with low self esteem.

Their sense of self worth is tied to perceived failures of others.

Have you been to Kano before?

How is this statistics a pointer that the east is doing well?

SIMPLE,.you cant fly when yous very poor.

humilitypays:
Owerri is home to the most beautiful women in the whole of Africa, it's hospitality is second to none.


All these uninformed Nairaland teenagers that mock Igbos have never stepped their foot outside Lagos to talk of Nigeria, and that's why they always think that the world start and end in Ijebu Ode

Owerri is leaving their cities behind while they push propaganda on nairaland

horsepower102:


In that case, northerners should be the most air traveling citizens. Your logic fails woefully

Northerners are poor. It’s only their middle class that travel by air. They hardly leave their territory, if not because of insurgency that made them run down south. They are contented with the little they have. They don’t really look for wealth the way we people do down here.
Apologies if you feel hit by my first statement. I don’t mudslide. There is no crime in saying the truth. Traveling majorly by air at this time in Owerri means Owerri people are rational. Don’t see my comment as if I am saying Owerri has never been safe. Let everything calm down in Owerri then go back and check NBS’s data for Q3 or Q4 in 2022. Then compare it with those of 2021.

AregbeFufu invisible Osun state airport recorded 1million passengers.

If you're in doubt ask ekoile aka NGParrot and gbawe.

Na NGParrot be gbawe?? That old man still dey show face for this forum after his shameless propaganda in 2014.

Which security situation in the South East are you talking about,is insecurity in South East close to that or the entire North or some part of South West?? Oga admit that South East have the highest GPR or revenues minus Lagos and River State and move on

Conrod:

Oh, so that's the argument? That you guys are the richest people in Nigeria.
Typical.

Alright sir. We agree. You are the richest, the best, the smartest, the bravest.

Are you happy now? You should be ecstatic.

Dapson73:



Calabar was also a capital of Nigeria. Isn't it ?

For how long? Point to me the federal structures in calabar

The way you people bring out lagos knowing fully well that lagos is made up of many tribes. LOL...Cant you people be proud of other States in SW Geopolitical zones?

is there another international airport in Southwest outside Lagos?

So if a Yoruba person was coming from outside Nigeria, he has no other choice than to land in Lagos before proceeding to his or her state.

Kano, Abuja and Enugu are international airports

And imo airport served as diversion while Enugu was being repaired..

Hence, the high numbers of those airports

Help me ask them oooo.Small argument they will bring Lagos into it leaving behind their other brown roof states because they know that those states have nothing to write home about.They forgot that Igbos made Lagos what it always is till today

Please please

BlowYourMind:
One Igbo that do drugs might decide to leave the country today to supply his "goods" and "development" other countries and then come back immediately and he can go like twice in a week like that, now say average of 10,000 igbos do drug and go in and out of the country like that, so 63,258 is complete. it is a simple logic

Hahahhahahaha thanks for this developers advice

As for Owerri, the Fear Of killer ESN makes air travel necessary in those parts. No body wants to move by road and there is no rail.

Covid restrictions to foreign countries I believe. For Kano, many Northerners are not keen on taking the shot, maybe thats why and again Saudi Arabia just approved full commencement of Hajj & Umrah activities. So expect an upside in Q3/Q4.

NGparrot is EkoIle, Plaindealer, and many of his numerous IDs

El Rufia with his loud mouth over landmass Kaduna air traffic arrival is 9,915 not half of Enugu even when Enugu was shutdown for months

Kaduna is only 2 hours from Abuja by road or rail , and by road to kano only one and half hours. No need for flights.
Check out Abeokuta, Ibadan and Awka.

It’s because Owerri airport is the gateway to Anambra, Abia and Imo states.

Oga I am a full blooded Igbo man and also a victim of Igbo marginalisation. Don't make your point and stop making enemies for Igbos. I stated the practical reason for the surge in air traffic in Imo which is a fact. The marginalisation of the Igbo nation is incontrovertible and did not start today. Neither will it end today.

Where Re those with the highest IGR....look at the results

Kai Seun this is derogatory and bad

Seun mynd44 OAM4J Mukina2 Rule 2

Do you mind the MODS , Seun & Nairaland. This forum has been over run with tribalism long ago!
And I don't know if Seun or the Mods are encouraging it or are helpless.

The tribalism here is even worse than what you see on twitter. Very unfortunate.
