Your post shows it is YOU that hasn't been to school.

The definition of renovation is to spruce up an already existing building, according to your own cut and paste.

The Abuja airport terminal is a brand new construction.

It's not a renovated building. Olodo rabata!
You dull sha,, no need to argue with malu-malu aka cow

Economic illiterate. Nigeria has over 40 billion dollars in reserves.

She borrows for the exact same reason America borrows, ie because it makes more economic sense to borrow than using your own money!.

You think the 31 trillion dollars America owes, that none of it was used to pay salaries?

Rubbish.
Who gave nigeria 40 billion dollars in foreign reserves

Ode, the old airport terminal was like a 1980s bus station.

Buhari came in and built a massive brand new terminal that was commissioned in 2018.
Truly, you are in-between illiterate and literate.
so fixing a terminal is equal to building a new airport?
It's people like that will change the roof of their father's house and claim he built his father a house.

Abuja international airport is only beautiful to people who have stepped out of the shores of this country or to people who are feeding from the rot in Nigeria and don't want to say the truth

One major thing you should note is that the United States of America can continue to borrow as much US Dollars they need to service their want as well as destroy it through hiking rates or other Monetary Policies because the United States of America actually prints the US Dollars the World uses and has a firm control over its distribution.

Nigeria cannot continue to borrow as much US Dollars as it needs for development and embezzlement because it has no control over the US Dollar and would need to tweak its Fiscal Policies towards generating income or revenue to pay back otherwise it will get into a mega financial mess.

This is what we call a quiet record of achievement, without too much noise and fanfare.

If you arrive from abroad today and land in Abuja airport, you will be asking if they are sure the plane landed you in Nigeria, or whether the pilot made a mistake and landed in Dubai or Tokyo instead of Nigeria.

Thanks, Mr President, for this glorious national edifice of which we can all be proud, the Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
What is world class or special about the Nnamdi azikiwe international airport, air port that can not accomodat a regular Monday traffic because of insufficient facilities, haven't been to our neighbors international airport ?

Muhammad v international airport in Casablanca, and OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg are amongst the most beautiful in terms of infrastructure and architectural design, the Abuja airport doesn't come close.

Nigeria takes this into consideration, else it would owe 5 trillion dollars rather than a MERE 40 billion.

Err.. he didn't ''fix'' a terminal. HE BUILT ONE.

And if all the airport was was a low class thing, and he came in, and built a stunningly beautiful brand new terminal to turn it into a world class facility, then YES, he BUILT A NEW AIRPORT.

An airport without a terminal is not an airport. It's an airstrip.

It may answer my question but stop trying to make that grade C airport into something to be admired.

It is not better than the Abuja airport.

It is old and run like most third world airport.

Ethiopian Airline is good.

Addis Ababa Airport is nothing to admire.


I don't even want to recall my experience during Covid.

Can you compare Addis Ababa airport with the one just above your post?

Be truthful.

Addis Ababa has quite an extensive terminal with functional amenities: escalators, lifts , many piers and also serves as a hub . Abuja doesn’t come close to it despite our oil wealth.

Seems you are thinking of Abuja under PDP.

Addis Ababa Airport is a grade C airport.

Let's not debate something that is clear.

If Addis is grade c, what is Abuja?
Re: How Buhari Quietly Built A World Class Airport In Abuja - Vid by somegirl1: 10:09am On Dec 26, 2022
An airport where the lift works intermittently and there are no options for people with mobility issues?

Just like I said, when people like you upgraded your father's house roof, they go about claiming they built their father a house.

The re-modelling of the airports was initiated in 2014 by former president Jonathan with a $500m loan from Chinese government. The contract was awarded to CECCC, a Chinese company.

Come on shut up there... Who doesn't know that most of you Nigerians swim in inferiority complex and self hate, which you wear like a badge of honour?

I didn't expect many of you to have anything good to say about the airport, because you have an inbred inferiority complex that you can't shake off. Even if the airport looked like Heathrow, you will say Dubai airport and Abu Dhabi and Shanghai are better. So there's no point debating wretched self loathers like you.
Muntula.

What do you know about inferiority complex. Bush man forming knowledge.

Your inferiority complex beclouds your ability to accept that others are greater than you, making you fail to live better lives.

Mumu like you hail failed leaders; support them, while they succeed in impoverishing you. I do not expect anything better from those like you, who choose bad living conditions, where you can hold your leaders accountable and make them fix your country.

Jagbajantis intete.

i believe you didn't watch the video. The manager told us that the technology and other services were provided by Buhari in 2018.
I think you are truly an illiterate. Go and borrow data to watch the video.

Do you say this when you worship America that is the world's biggest debtor nation?

The US owes a monstrous 31 TRILLION dollars.

You want to compare yourself with a country that owns the world's reserve currency? People who literally print money anytime they want yet the currency remains strong against other international currencies
Re: How Buhari Quietly Built A World Class Airport In Abuja - Vid by sunray(m): 3:44pm On Dec 26, 2022
You can't convince someone who has not travelled through the terminal you are talking about. Ignore their ignorance. It may not be as big as other countries airports but it is brand new and adequate for its current traffic.

Buhari built keh? Person wey need to first build himself.

Airport that is not up to the standard of the Kotoka airport in Accra, na him you call world class? Anyway, we will permit your ignorance. You have not been around the world.

Anyway person we no go another person papa farm, dey claim say na im papa farm better pass.

First travel around the world and you”ll know that Abuja airport is at the same level as the Cotonou airport. Visit Narita or Tokyo (Japan), Instanbul (Turkey), Heathrow or Gatwick (London), Changi (Singapore), JFK, Hamad (Qatar), KL Malaysia (lower standard than others I visited, but not Nigeria’s mate), or even Indhira Ghandi, New Delhi as e dirty reach.

No be only world standard, na local government standard.
Have you passed through this New International Airport Abuja?

Get lost. CRIMINAL. As if if they gave you power today, you would not loot the treasury even worse than those that came before you.

I've been online since before you were born, and have seen all sorts of loud mouth govt blamers moan from morning till night about the 'bad government', but as soon as THEY got into power, they became super rich in under ONE MONTH, and became inaccessible.

So no, we are not deceived by your negative, holier-than-thou posts. You could be far worse than any of the leaders you condemn, and might even have built a little chicken shed in Abuja, instead of this WORLD CLASS FACILITY, and embezzled the rest of the money. SO GET LOST.
