can’t we just rally round Jimi

I’m sorry to break it to you, Obi’s name will not be mentioned when we are talking about Governors who delivered. While he was not an ‘Ikpazor’ or a ‘Kalu’, he didn’t break much grounds in the state that you can trace. I was a student of Unizik from 2016 to 2011, so I know his government to an extent.
I don’t hate Obi, I hate the way people are making excuses for him to force him down our throats. He’s also the reason why APC was not kicked out of power after what we went through in the last 8years.

Father0fjesus:
yeah, but Ekiti does not need an airport for now.
Even Ibadan Airport, as big as ibadan is still very much not viable as many airports in Nigeria.
Calabar Airport, Crossriver is wealthier, bigger and more cosmopolitan than Ekiti still is not as busy as airports Lagos, Abuja, Port harcourt, owerri, Benin and Kano.

Infact, owerri has about 4 more traffic than calabar, not to talk of an airport in Ekiti. Waste of time

pquaver:


Spot on.. I dont know why our people are chasing shadows.. Even Obiano did wonderfully well.. I will take umahi 1 and Obiano 2 as president of igbo extraction b4 Obi onye wayo.. By the time soludo finishes he wewill know if he wilk push obi further down.

Simeonjoe1:


Baba I once though that some states (Ekiti) do not need an airport but instead they should concentrate more on expanding intrastate roads and if viable intra state rail networks, but then I'm not in the government and I don't know the reason surrounding their choosing of airports over the later.
I think we have to look at the bigger picture here, some of this airports are not a stand alone project, take for example Ekiti airport is not just meant for an transport alone, it's part of a bigger project-the Ekiti economical free knowledge and technology zone which is meant to attract fdi and even funding from the Africa bank, also note that the Nigeria airforce will also key in to construct a base with larger airwing in that zone. In fact small terminal is for temporary uses as it can be further upgraded if future plans are met.
Many airports today are in concomitant with free trade zone, for easy access to area of products, reducing logistics hurdles and as a plus commercial air operation.

So it's not a waste, if they can key into the vision of making it larger than just passenger transport

SSFeedsNigeria:
SW is indeed a backward region. It's just Lagos that is covering the rot in that region. What they call airports in that region are worse than say some bus station. Even airports in the most remote parts of North are far far better! Look at what they built in Ekiti as airport in 2023, this rubbish won't even be acceptable in South Sudan or Congo but these people think it's okay.

The buses they ride on in their cities, be it ibadan, Abeokuta etc are always small and rickety. Their houses too, normal average people won't want to live there. They're the odd ones in Southern Nigeria.

Omo, you can't buy class, if you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it.

Ebonyi State is one state with sooooo little and their governor keeps delivering mind-blowing infrastructural projects. Give Dave Umahi the kind of money Lagos or Rivers has, he will turn his state to Dubai.

In fact, other state governors in Nigeria should be taking lectures from him about how he achieved all this with so little.

Someone should create a thread of what Dave Umahi did in 8 years so as to blow people's minds here. When it comes to infrastructure, that man is only in competition with himself.

Leadership at the national level transcends building infrastructure. What Peter Obi is proposing is a total overhaul of the Nigerian state (instilling sanity and the rule of law) and expanding our economic frontiers (we call it diversification here).

There's so little the state can do in those areas. We need those more than anything else.

By the way, I noticed that you don't like Peter Obi, so you are likely going to attack him in your rejoinder to this comment. Sorry, bros, I won't react to it.

Hussein035:


I don't know why some stupidiots are over hyping Obi that saved the state fund to invest in his own ogogoro business.

Same thing was said about Akwa Ibom when they were building theirs. Today how far?

Is the last one an airport?

Quality of leadership in our Southwest region should be seriously questioned.

INDOMIE9090:
SW is backward but your people won’t stop trooping in masses to same SW on daily basis.
Lagos,Ota,Ibadan,shagamu,Abk,ORE,mowe/Ibafo,sango,Y’all litters those places like refugee.Why not stay in your eldorado?
Am sure there are hundred of buses on their way to SW today

Father0fjesus:
I don't know who will be using Ebonyi and Ekiti airports. White elephant project for small states that should be looking at doing other things with their revenue.

Enugu airport is not far from Abakaliki. The moment you land in Enugu, the express way takes you to abakaliki straight to the opposite direction.
And no one goes to Ekiti via flight, only few people. No airline will want to invest in Ekiti now. Even Benue that has an airport, their airport is not viable enough for airlines to invest in, most of them fly via Enugu and even as far as Abuja.

The only viable airport here is Anambra. Even at That, For someone like me, if I went to travel to onitsha, with the completion of second Niger bridge, I will prefer to land in Asaba instead of anambra (although it depends on the part of onitsha one is going to), I mostly go to head bridge market and Asaba airport is just the best for me.

sangresan:


Una too dey like fooling yourselves with inanities. What will be the impact of an airport in a state like Ebonyi? What's the minimum wage in Ebonyi? How many hospitals of world-standard are in Ebonyi? Number of beds in public osputals? Doctor-per-patient ratio?
Last time I checked, Ebonyi is still considered among the educationally-least developed states in Nigeria.

You see, many of you major in the minor.

Iko5000:
Enugu airport is viable as well . As for the others who knows what will happen in 10 to 20 years time when we get good governance. They might become very viable because of the local economy .

AwkaFinest:



Ndi chest beater, bikonu, zukwanike.


Is Anambra better than Enugu?
Is Anambra better than Oyo?
Is Anambra better than Kaduna?
Is Anambra better than Kano?

sangresan:


See mumu talk. Thousands, if not millions, are trooping down to the Southwest everyday, and you're here asking stupid questions. You can continue to deceive yourselves. Southwest remain the most economically developed region in Nigeria. Ogun State alone is doing better than Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Anambra, Delta, and other Southeast and Southsouth states. Despite the humongous oil revenues collected by Delta and other states, why are industrial estates not springing up there? Where are the industrial parks of Warri?
