AIRPORTS ARE NOT FOR STATE INDIGENE.


THE AIRPORT IS FOR THE WHOLE NIGERIA AND PEOPLE THAT BORDER EBONYI STATE/ REGION.

I mentioned indigenes because states that share boarders with Ebonyi state all have Air Ports. Enugu, Cross River etc.

Nigerians will make use of the Air Port if Ebonyi state have things that will attract people to their state. Someone going to Enugu, Imo, Abia, Uyo from Lagos or Abj wouldn't fly to Ebonyi Air Port because there are closer Air Ports to his/her destination, thank you.

The entire land mass of SE is less than Kogi State, not to mention Niger State.
What the SE Govs need is an inter state train. Their 5 Govs should build a train that will connect the entire zone and not individual useless airport.

This is exactly six after ebonyi airport was commissioned, but shockingly no Nigerian airline has agreed to venture into that route with commercial passengers. Checks revealed that ebonyi airport is an unviable route for airlines, that’s why no airline has tried to land there.

Ebonyi is a state with the poorest indigenes in the southern Nigeria. Poverty rate in ebonyi is over 80%.

Ebonyi has a comparative advantage in rice farming but there’s no major rice mill in the state .
Some analysts had proffered that the billions borrowed to build the airport would have been channeled into developing rice mills to create employment for the army of unemployed in ebonyi state.
We said this.
But they refused.


Let them come and carry their airport.
In fact, every state is supposed to have TWO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTS.

The reason is that Ebonyi people are the poorest Igbos. Instead of making efforts to lift their people out of poverty, their governors are building needless infrastructure. Dave Umahi, for instance, was busy building lots of flyovers where they weren't needed.

So, Igbos see them as an embarrassment (I don't want to use disgrace because it's harsh) to the rest of us. When you visit cities around the country, most of the people who sell gala and lacasera by the roadsides are from the state. Yet, these people and their governors don't see the need to withdraw and empower them. It's quite embarrassing, to the honest.

Stop capping useless comments. The airport was built to show a particular Igbo state that Ebonyi can build an airport just like they did. Throughout Umahi stay as governor he sabotaged and openly attacked Anambra state. He built the airport out of emotional sentiment.

Did Umahi not know Ebonyi people are littered all over Nigerian state doing dehumanizing menial labor but he was more interested in measuring ddickks with Anambra which him and his deputy openly announced. How can a man be so useless.....Umahi might be a decent engineer but a failed administrator!
That's non of your business... The money used for the project is 100% Ebonyi money not Anambra.

Hold your own governor responsible for the slow infrastructure in your state. Ebonyi is not the first state to have white elephant project in Nigeria. Go to the north, there are many Airports there lying docile only used for prigrimage.

At worst, the airport will be converted to cargo or be used for prigrimage. I'm from imo. I don't like how you guys keep displaying your hatred for Ebonyi openly without shame you Ananbra lots are disgracing our tribe here.

Watch other tribes, they also have internal issues but they don't go this length that you people go.

Very very sad indeed…It is only igbos that do this.. You will never see a Kano man insult a Kebbi man or yorubas do this to each other.

Stop having this inferiority complex, ebonyians are being called out because we want every nation to be self sufficient

We don’t pretend that all is well, look at Abia state today enjoying a good government, it’s because igbos are calling out their people to vote the right people

We will not stop till ebonyians got it right, at least alleviate poverty to some certain level

Oga, sh*t up. We are not almajiri people that don’t know their left from their right

There’s nothing wrong with constructive criticism, it will help the government/people to sit up and do the right things

Look below, how much is being wasted on the airport, Ebonyi have so many pressing issues than building an airport

Anambra waited till the state was ripe for an airport before building one. The airport was planned for Oba long ago but other pressing need was focused upon until the state mature to host an airport
Why is Ebonyi Airport your major problem?

Was Anambra money used in constructing it?

Is Ebonyi the first state in Nigeria to have white elephant project?

Is Ebonyi responsible for the slow infrastructural project in Anambra?

As an imolite, I don't like how you people in Anambra keep displaying your hatred for Ebonyi people here without shame. Other tribe also have internal issues but they don't go this length.

If there is any state to complain, it should even be Enugu

Governor Dave Nweze Umahi got everything on infrastructure right except this Ebonyi International Airport white elephant project because an airport is not an economically feasible project for the state @ present.
...airport can generate revenue to the state if they airport is operating and working with airlines and commercial air line planes operating their fights there....the commercial airlines will pay tax to the state government.. ...and airport also creates jobs . direct and indirect jobs .. people
and nigerians willl be working there... different bussinesses will be operating within the airport ... bus and taxi transport ation bussiness, restruarant food bussiness, hotel bussiness, supermarket and many other bussinesses that will be runned by nigerians in that airport..just like the international airport at Lagos it generates a lot of money to the federal government

Most governors in Nigeria are guilty of this white elephant projects. You see them building flyovers in areas where there's no traffic and one car passes on the flyover after every 15 minutes. You see them building airports where the closest airport is 30 minutes away. You see them build world class secondary schools that will be overtaken by grassess because even the students are too primitive to be housed. You see them build markets and lock it up for years. All in the bid to embezzle funds and use these projects as cover. It's not new.
