They have airports mostly used by government officials and those going for Hajj.

Governments shouldn't be using scarce funds to finance white elephant projects. Dey use your head.

The guy is one defeated I.P.O.B mi.screant.

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

Go and verify

RIVERS1stson:
Anambra is better than enugu state when you consider overall development induces like education, infrastructure, human resources, FDI, HDI, ease of doing business, economic viability, etc

apart from the bolded, i dont see where any anambra come close to Enugu.

Bestmanfornow:

Your hate doesn't change the fact that is the richest state in human resources, you can only hate but you can't stop them, Ebonyi mall it's was Everyday emporium which is own Anambra man that Dave had to beg to use the mall, Dave is also lobbying Allen Onyema owner of AirPeace to use the airport, Anambra is blessed in all ramifications, you are only hurting yourself, Anambra airport is very viable and fully active.

Hehehe... As e dey sweet me, e go they pain you!! You lot come online to pour cold water on what others are doing...
You lot suffer from serious inferiority complex and it has become obvious to other igbos and Nigerians as a whole...
An Ogun man can never come out in public and disparage the good works happening in Osun!! It is only an Anambra man that will come out in public and say that Ebonyi is rubbish... Even other eastern states do not have this behaviour.. I repeat, you can never find such in yoruba people.. Instead of you to be happy for your brothers, you are here talking rubbish..
Why did Umahi not lobby a poor man like you to come nd invest in his state This is how y'all keep bragging stupidly with other people's achievements... Allen Onyema is the owner of Air peace, but he enjoys the patronage of ALL Nigerians.. it would not have been possible for him to do all this without patronage and cooperation of key Nigerians from other tribes. This useless chestbeating behaviour blocks goodwill from others that could help you, but your IQ is too low to understand..

I think ekiti would have used that land for farming instead of building airport for the landing of politicians private jets

Ooni:
Is the last one an airport?

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

It is a local airport. It is also not completed. I mean, Ekiti's population is less than 3.5m. you will find many airports in developed countries that look just like this. There's no point in constructing a large airport with little air traffic. Not everything is aesthetic

Bestmanfornow:

Most of them are just ignorance, let compare the revenue allocation and debt, if Obi had place Anambra in serious debt and didn't save money for the state it would have been difficult for Obiano to build those massive projects without borrowing

OK he ''saved" ...Obiano used the savings abi and today Soludo is taking on debt abi... why??

You guys who have ZERO economic knowledge praise mediocrity, criminalize borrowing etc

I just dey laugh una

His savings show he had no plan on utilization so he saved...

so the only thing we can say he did was not loot.

Ooni:
Owerri airport is only fourth in the country in traffic

which is first? Second? And third? And do you have verifiable data proof

SSFeedsNigeria:


Shut up, village man!

Delta state has two airports yet this primitive man is arguing that airport is not necessary. Osubi airstrip in Delta receive more traffic than your so-called airports in the SW. If you guys are too poor to have airport, we are not!

This otikpu boy doesn't understand what economic development entails. Delta has two airports yet produces virtually nothing apart from oil. What is the IGR of Delta in the last 10 years? What is their debt burden? Where are the world-class (or national-class) universities in Delta State?

Many of una na mumu.

sonature1:
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.

Another thread should be created for Gov. Ovi aka Kerosene Governor, let's enumerate his failures and beseech the Gov. Elect for turnaround!

sangresan:



That's your pedestrian understanding of how investments circulate. Google the number of domestic air passengers per airport per year across Nigeria and compare the figures with the number of road passengers per state in Nigeria. Then, Google the reason why airlines in the Nigerian market struggle to make profits. Compare the data with those obtained from near-peers like Indonesia, South Africa, and Malaysia.

You'll see that Nigerian state governors are just wasting tax payers funds on white elephant projects. If a state is economically developed enough to attract big projects like airport construction, they should allow private investors to take the lead. State governments can just provide motorable roads and other infrastructures to support the projects. This way, they wouldnt be wasting public funds.

Good point, you nailed it.

obideints will not agree with u,because umahi is not OBIDIENT.Anybodu that is not OBIDIENT is a useless person.so my eluppee friends told me

Mumu this one is just consumed in envy and bitterness.

Anambra international airport is the best and busiest airport in igboland.

Onitsha residents as well as all Anambra use Anambra international.

Imo airport is more or less a glorified village motorpark. Infact imo is yet to have airport.

Anambra international airport is the international gateway to the Eastern Nigeria.

All the major airlines in Nigeria are owner by Anambra people, like air peace, united airline, etc.

Anambra international airport is the headquarters of Air peace which is the number airline in Nigeria.

Anambra is the most developed state in igboland. Cry more

okwadatigbogal:
Ebonyi Airport is far superior in terms of infrastructure. Umahi really did work there...
I have come to the conclusion that Anambra people are the biggest chestbeaters and noisemakers in Nigeria. With all the useless noise they made when the airport was opened and were even disparaging others. I could remember one idiot saying that all the airport will surpass other airports except Lagos within one year of operation... Lol...What a joke...
It is still the least patronized airport in the Southeast and one of the least in Nigeria.. Onitsha people would rather use Asaba Airport...
Ebonyi airport will serve many locations because there are no airports in that area and the axis... Anambra airport is a waste!!!

Anambra is better than Oyo and Kaduna idiotu.

dmostcheerful:

It is not about chest beating let's call a spade a spade 20-15yrs ago Anambra was in the league of Abia or even worst.
Dirty, insecurity, nonsense government school, owing civil servants and so on.
There was a time Anambra is more dirty than Abia, upper iweka was den of armed and unarmed robbers.
But Obi did so well, it will be very unfair to forget so soon.

Obi did unimaginably well..

He stopped one particular thing in Anambra.. godfatherism ... that's what he battled continuously until it ended before subsequent Governors came in without any form of that godfatherism disturbance and were free to govern the state after him..
He made the state become conscious of expenses, making Anambra currently with little or low embezzlement of funds by politicians and very many more...

He fought and won major battles that his successors are positively reaping benefits from.. And if you ask me, so long as BAT is still alive and godfatherism is still in Lagos State, Anambra is far better than Lagos because funds are used in building the state than Lagos where one man pockets more than 2/3 of the monies..

Anambra international airport is the busiest and most viable Nigeria aside Abuja and Lagos.

Leave ebonyi and focus on your backward useless worthless shithole imo state that doesn't have a befitting airport

okwadatigbogal:


Go and rest!!! Ebonyi airport is still more viable than Anambra airport! You people are fond of putting down other people's successes and claiming yours is better! Biko, go and rest with this useless chestbeating.... Umahi did very well for the good people of Ebonyi state and that airport can serve those areas that are close to it especially benue and kogi... Those in onitsha and environs would rather fly in from Asaba

Anambra is better than those states you mentioned

The Ebony Airport is super good enough to be an edifice of any country. This is a legacy Project that Umahi can boast of in years to come. Not to save money for others to come and embezzle like PO.
PO has no single legacy project but yet, he wants to be President. Someone with no foresight.
Dave Umahi would make an outstanding President of the FRN. I pray he does in future.
The other two airports, I don't think are good enough to serve as train stations talk more of an airport.

PROUDIGBO:


You're so spot on! Peter Obi did his best for Anambra state, and if anyone knows the dire socio-economic and security situation he met on ground....not to mention the distraction he was getting from greedy godfathers whose firm grip on the states finances and politics he was trying to prise off, then one would begin to appreciate better just how much he did for the state! If a Peter Obi had governed states like Rivers, Lagos, Akwa-Ibom or Delta in the last 8 to 16 years, those states would be much better developed and governed today!

Obi failed as a governor.
Ibos don't know what good governance entails

Obi built many infrastructures ,he was the one that acquired the land that Anambra state Airport is seating today, still he didn't borrow, wasn't owing anybody still save for the state, you know nothing about economy, that's way your region is most indebted state, when the criminal leaders are busy siphoning you future with debt, may be I should remind you that Anambra state debt is low and Soludo yet to borrow money.

georgeakins:

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.

Who gave Obiano money for airport?

Something is seriously wrong with ur head. Do you even know or lived in Oyo state? How can you be saying Oyo is better than Anambra? I lived in Ibadan and schooled all thru in in Ibadan and Oyo state. Am from Delta Igbo speaking side (Anioma). So understand that you can't be talking nonsense here.

AwkaFinest:



You claimed if Obi was governor of Rivers, Lagos, Akwa Ibom and Delta, those states would have been better. Then I ask is Anambra better than the other states I listed?
We all know states like Lagos, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Oyo, Enugu, Kano and Kaduna are far better on average than Anambra when all ramifications of governance and development is considered.

Ibos like eyeing resources from other regions.
No ibo state can be like lagos and Port Harcourt.
Remember, South East was the most backward during the days of Regionalism, because you have an array of bad leaders.
Look at a failed Obi that you wanted to force on us

Anambra with no world-class (or national-class) university or industrial estate is better than Lagos? No modern projects like the Rapid Bus Transit system which was the first in West Africa? Anambra whose officials went to Lagos recently for training in traffic management is better than Lagos?

No independent power station. No modern rail system being planned.

Which smoke Dem dey give una sef?

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.

Igbo man. Cry and cry. Yorubas will still rule you and your parents.

You can create a thousand monikers. It wouldn't change the Slave - Master relationship.

Cry louder.

Typical Igbo's showing off on infrastructures that the state doesn't need. Anambra and Ebonyi states need road, rail, and electric power stations first before Airports that very few Nigerians can afford.

Make una dey read small.

sonature1:


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 states 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.

Obi is just deceiving himself.
He failed as a governor.
We don't want a calamity leader like Obi. He can go and lead biafra

Ekiti Airport na money making Airport. I don't know what Fayemi is selling in Ekiti that made him embark on a non viable venture. I list expected such from a man that prided himself as a learned fellow. No Flight has taken place there since he did his harukushanka commissioning
