From the second paragraph of this story, Lagos State is a south-eastern state:

Sirika said this at the Ehingbeti Lagos Economic summit on Tuesday, while presenting a letter of approval for a new airport in the south-eastern state.

Oga, I don't think it has anything to do with igbo land, it is purely commercial.
Mm2 which is the major airport is dead, a shithole, outdated, small. Infact, it needs to be demolished and reconstructed ie if the space will be enough, if not, they should turn the land to housing estates.
If you build an international airport in the east, which international airline will fly there? The bulk of the traveling crowd due to economic activities is in Lagos and Abuja and which acts as hubs.
All the other airports in the east, west, north transfer their traveling passanger through smaller aircraft's to hubs where bigger planes move them abroad.

For almost 40 years, Igboland never had an international airport. Is that not hatred and wickedness,

Study and educate yourself . The records are there. Lagos does not receive from Nigeria. Nigeria receives from Lagos.
Just VAT alone today is approaching 1 trillion Naira
Lagos has always been a net contributor to the commonwealth giving more than it received

There was a telephone connection between Lagos and London before 1900 . What did the Niger Delta look like then . Do not misinform yourself
I can educate you with records if you want, Lagos could not have been this wealthy if not for the resources from the Niger delta

Honestly Southwest leaders need to have a sober reflection of what their region would have looked like without Lagos.



Funny enough Lagos was treated as a separate entity during the 1960s.


It baffles me how the rest of southwest states abandoned their state development only to be chanting our Lagos up and down, making it look like Yoruba land starts and end in Lagos.



Why can't they develop a seaport in Ondo, work on making Ogun state the next megacity like Lagos because of its proximity to Lagos.



A whole Oyo state is far behind in development all because Yoruba leaders only care about Lagos but will be first to call out regions that are single handedly building their regions with little or no federal government assistance.



Imo state indigenes contributed money in the 80s to build Imo airport.


Anambra state government built their own airport within 2 years.


Enugu have airport.


Ebonyi and Abia are massively building their own airports yet these people don't respect Igbos who build their region with their own sweat without federal government assistance.




No wonder they hate to hear that an Igbo man wants to become President, they want the marginalization of Igbos to continue while they use our communal wealth to build their region and still rob it off on our faces like they worked for it.



Time will tell, nothing last forever.



Where is Rome today, where is Athens? Oppression never last forever, wise people know this but fools always brag with oppression thinking it will last forever until reality down on them
Lord bless you for this truth... South West is the most backward region in Southern Nigeria but the most noisy tbough

Pure lies. Akure has a virile airport, and planes land there everyday. I live there.

Ibadan has a well established and functional airport built long time ago, and planes land there everyday across Nigeria.

Ekiti and Osun are already building their own. Ogun has no need for one now because of its proximity to Lagos.

Get your facts right before spewing hate filled diatribes on Nairaland.
do you want an air manifest.... To show you how Akure airstrip not an airport

Even a field can be an airstrip

Lagos is the commercial hub of Nigeria where all trades are made and finalized before it gets out of the country, they make money through other people's resources because almost all business deals are moved to Lagos, that's because Lagos houses almost all the companies headquarters.

How many barrels of crude oil does Lagos produce per day?

What's VAT (Value Added Tax)?
Tax generated from products and successful business transactions, since they are the trade center they will continue to make more money than other states in the area of VAT.

Re: Sirika: Why FG Didn’t Waste Time Giving Approval For New Lagos Airport by HajiMT:
1. Air Peace, Overland and Green Africa operate nearly daily flights to Akure.

2. Air Peace and Overland operate nearly daily flights to Ibadan.

3. Ekiti Airport is almost ready in Ado Ekiti. As a matter of fact, Fayemi may commission it before vacating office.

4. Ogun State Cargo Airport in Remo land is ongoing and will be commissioned next year.

5. Osun State during Aregbesola tenure started an Airport construction in Ido Osun but stalled due to paucity of fund.

6. Lagos is about to commence construction of a brand new airport in addition to the existing one built and operated by the Federal Government

South West is really making progress in this aspect. By this time next year, the region would have 5 airports operating, while Lagos new airport will be nearing completion. Osun airport will come back on stream some day.

This airport would have been better in Ogun state, one of those LGAs that share boundary with Lagos. Fallow land plenty for Ogun state
If Ogun interested in building Airport, no one is stopping them.

Tinubu is next President.

Sirika just endorsed it.

Let me explain it in a way that Anambra people will understand.

Airport projects are typically commissioned by President. So this airport will not be ready before Buhari leaves.

Airport is Lagos State owned. So guess who will return to commission it?

You damn right, Tinubu. grin

There is nothing like Igbo goods
They import goods and sell
To markets where they have no competition

Yoruba men by nature are not traders
Hausa men are traders but their challenge is they do not speak English
There is nothing Igbo importers are doing that cannot be easily replaced
As a business model with the emergence of internet Amazon
,Jumia etc that way of doing business will become extinct.

What you can't replace is the level of customer service that makes them invaluable.

Igbo man wakes up early morning and opens his shop by 7am, he eats his meals in the shop and always there to attend to customers.

Other people open their shops by 10am because they have to wake up first and lazy around the house and attend to other personal needs, but Igbo man eliminates all that time waste because his business is more important to him that his convenience.

Igbo man is always available on call, even at night when his client needs a tire replacement. That service you can't get online at Jumia instantly.

There is a huge difference! I respect that kind of doggedness abeg! It is irreplaceable. No other person takes business more seriously the way they do.
