So you don't know that this airport is also going to provide jobs for Ebonyi people.Dont be novist.Many graduate will get job via this Airport.

My brother don't you know that this will also create jobs for people of Ebonyi people. Don't be a novist.

SHINJA:
What the people of Ebonyi need is good food and jobs not airports..How will airport help the poor people of Ebonyi state?

Instead of providing jobs for them you are busy building airport while most of the youths from Ebonyi state are busy hawking lacasera and gala by the road side of Lagos...

Share if you want him not to be your next president .

Lol. As if Nigeria's presidential election is won by merit.
The 19 states political structure created by northern military dictators in Northern region gave Arewa politicians the right to decide who shall be Nigeria's president.
Southern politicians of today no longer seem to understand that land mass or population figures is never used as criterion to derive new federating units in a country formed by diverse regions. They no longer ask for political restructuring of Nigeria.

This one is for their private jets cos no commercial airline is coming there!

mrvitalis:

Oga 47 million dollars to 65 million dollars that's 18 million dollars debt in 5 years ...that's the same as zero debt oga ...

U wanted to be clever by half showed the increase in percentage without showing the figure

If he achieved all those by borrowing less than 10 billion then it's even more magical

I guess comprehension and calculation is your problem, total foreign debt of the state was $ 65.9 million as of 2020,thats exluding $70 million from Islamic Bank and $80 million from Africa together growing fund, then add the domestic debts and see your argument is crap.

Am telling you again, say what you know, umahi have tried very well, but to say he did it all without taking loans is not a fact.

EastisBae:


Stop talking like a dunce!
Building an airport is very important to any state in Nigeria today considering the level of insecurity everywhere. The availability of an airport will attract investors who wouldn't ordinarily want to invest in Ebonyi due to bad federal roads and insecurity.

When investors are attracted, jobs will be created! Or how else do you want Dave Umahi to create jobs if not by building infrastructure and an enabling environment?

Take your rubbish advise to your state that needs it more because Ebonyi is already better!!

U must be kidding about the bolded...
There are lot of states airports dat are becoming a bane for FAAN to maintain because they aren't viable ..how has it brought investors to their state..

How is building an airport the same as creating an enabling environment..
Ogun state doesn't have an airport...
Almost All it federal roads but it has better investment than any other western state excluding Lagos..

There are more job opportunities and industries in abia state despite lacking an airport and good roads

How has the airport in bayelsa and calabar attracted investor...
U think if they want to come.. airport is what they will be looking at...pls let not deceive ourselves..

Yeah building an airport isn't bad...it has no economic promises for ebonyi..at least not in 2 or 3 decades..except incoming governors now focus on industrialization

If u move the middle belt to the south in which most of them belong to APC ..does it change the fact that they will still vote APC...

It isn't about north or south...yes Hausa has the largest population..they are not larger than Igbo and yoruba combined or even if u now include other minorities..
So that isn't the point..
Once votes are casted..they are counted individually..and north or factor as well as no. Of state have no influence over them..

When the entire country was almost in PDP including the north ..it wasn't influenced by north having 19 states..when APC gained prominence and took over..they didn't still use the 19 states factor

The only influence in this imbalance is when it comes to political appointment , recruitment and NASS membership

Yes David umahi is trying but there are things to consider first b4 others
If u go to ebonyi state today expecially abakiliki
U will see many flyovers
Everywia is flyoer but u wont see much motto applying the road…. Most of dem no motto is running on it but wen u look outside d flyovers u will see many mud houses everywhere
He should atleast develop his people first b4 flyover dat u can easily count how many mottos that passed through the roads easily

LeoDeKing:
The reason Dave Umahi is the worst enemy of ipob pigs is becoming very obvious.

Dave Umahi is the best performing gov in South East and if there is anything ipob pigs hate most, it is infrastructural development.

Ever wondered why the beasts keep extolling a thief like Peter Obi.

You have shown who you by your closure. Enemy of Nigeria.

U ARE SAYING THE TRUTH.

Shut up.

The govt is building airport which will provide job opportunities, you are here screaming what Ebonyi needs is job. So how will he provide the jobs? By simply enrolling you into the payroll and be paying you for doing nothing?

What the indigenes need is conducive atmosphere to earn cool living and that conducive atmosphere is the provision of basic amenities. Dave Umahi has performed creditably in this regard.

No govt will bring money and food physically to your door step. That airport will provide both direct and indirect employment to youth who have brains and that is the money and food.

You seemed not to understand what he said, simply because you are not from South East. Ebonyi State has very poor indigen who are mainly farmers. Who will use the air port? Enugu has air port which is close to them. The money spent on the air port, could have been used to build industries like palm oil refinery, rice mill, cassava & yam floor... These are what the people of Ebonyi are into, even the rich ones are into agricultural production. Basically construction of air port should be among the last in scale of preference for Ebonyi.

You'll never have sense. People like you should be prevented from breeding because no mentally stable woman will want to produce offsprings with you and, when you eventually find your fellow mentally-unbalanced female to breed with, your offspring will have genes from your psychosis and her mental instability and that's detrimental to the continued survival of the human specie.
Do you now see why you should never be allowed to reproduce?

Let be honest once it is commissioned that airport cannot employ more than 150...
Yes 150..from the uneducated security officers to the cleaners..etc..

Pls don't count the federal government workers that will be posted there..like ,police ,

ada9ja:


Guy u fall ma hand...i think say u dey reason well...

ND

Ebubu:


bad belle no good oo.

So people who will work in the airport as workers will be from kafanchan and not Ebonyi? So investors who will invest in the state will enter into Ebonyi by swimming through a non-existent sea?


So the business opportunities that will open around the airport is not avenue to create wealth for Ebonyians?

Sense is very far from you mumu man.

LEA , FAAN or the likes..they will just deploy their existing officers whom most likely might not be from ebonyi or be Igbo to the airport not employ new ones...
The same thing most airline will do...

But when u talk of direct employment ..it won't employ more than 200... There will not be any significant indirect jobs created as well as the airport doesmt produce anything neither will it engage in cargo services

This is a project that will cost nothing less than N35bn to build...

If u put that money into building a massive industry...it will more than 600 workers...and indirect jobs will be created through the sales of the product

Innoson plants doesn't cost up to N30bn..but employs 2,000 plus direct workers...

By the way which business activity want to open around the airport meant for only passengers..
Go to Edo, calabar, delta,imo airports....which business activity opened there...or u want to include taxi drivers..how many taxi drivers want to be there...


Bayelsa airport opened a few years ago...
That airport hasn't been regularly receiving local flights... I don't even think more than 2 airlines fly there because there is no market there...airpeace no longer fly there often...

It's a gradual process, sir. You need infrastructural development to create job opportunities. I hope you understand?

Is there running water in Abakilili, Nkalagu, and Afikpo?

Food basket or not...
The only airports that export anything ranging from food items etc are the 5 international airports...as these are the only airports that allows international cargo flights...

So nothing will be exported from these airports...
Sam mbakwe is a cargo airport at least by name...have u heard of any international cargo airline like DHL or FedEx planes landing there...

All the food items in ebonyi are transported and will always be transported by roads to other Nigerian states or cameroon.. farmers can't afford air travel not to talk of moving their products by air

please carry your negative futuristic analysis and prediction to your state.

We don’t do pessimism in Ebonyi state. And all your ramblings will never cease the timely completion of this airport.

Don’t mind them. They are so good in sharing their negative pessimistic analysis as of they’ve ever done anything for Ebonyi State. They are very surprised that a state like Ebonyi which they consider backward is developing very rapidly but whether they like it or not, we will continue moving forward and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

Any presidential candidate in Nigeria must win 25% of votes in 24 states, apart from winning the highest number of votes, before the candidate can be proclaimed winner. Perhaps, this is unknown to you.
Even an illiterate Fulani from Northern Nigeria can win 25% of votes in all the 19 states sewed like seeds in the old Northern region, only 25% of votes in 5 southern states will the Fulani presidential candidate need to complete his win.

But there is no southern presidential candidate who can win elections with the ease a Fulani presidential candidate can win. Do the Maths.
By proliferation of undue number of states in the old Northern region, north fcucked the south, politically and economically.

as in ehnn. They used to cry that Ebonyi state is timid, under-developed and has poor people. Now Ebonyi is revamping infrastructure, they cry that it is not needed and waste of money.

Jesus Christ ! Witch-craft are haters and they exist true true.

These people just want Ebonyi to remain a backward state so they can keep using it to catch cruise, insult them and elevate their own false superiority complex about having airport, flyovers, stadium, etc.

Low lives!

Ebubu:
he has

So what is the problem? Because i know very well that ebonyi state according to many financial/economy reporters opined that the state is one of the poorest in southern part of nigeria. Now the governor is working on infrastructures, it will take time for the state or indigene of the state to begin to enjoy the benefit(s) of Gov. Umahi administration.
