The should just stay back and develop their state and stop running around south west

The day you will visit Southeast that day you will know your region is backward, Igbos are in every nooks and crannies of the world not just west, Chinese are in every part of the world not because their country is not developed, Igbos are entrepreneurs they go anywhere to establish

SonOfDSoil01:
in your deluded mind. That village that is not up to Ibadan, or where did you leave kaduna and Kano? You dolt just love to lie to yourself just to feel good….Anambra is not even recognised has a city on the world map😂

Ibadan is world largest slum city, Onitsha is second ubernized city in Nigeria after Lagos

The poster wil surely get what he/she wants

Only 4 airports are economically viable in Nigeria


Release the revenue figures for all these airports to make your chest beating sensible


These airports include Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos (which generates about 50% of the entire revenue), Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport (MAKIA), and Port-Harcourt International Airport.

I don't think you are a frequent user of Nigerian local airports.


If you do travel or have friends that frequently travel via local flights in Nigeria, you will laugh at this Ab0ki manufactured report lol


I am in the Southeast right now, I came in through Owerri airport. Owerri airport is as busy as Lagos airport right now. Air Peace, United Airlines, Green Africa Air, etc can't even meet up with the surge of passengers such that some of my friends and relatives had to fly through Portharcourt and they said Portharcourt was not as busy as they thought this season compared to reports from Owerri, Anambra, Enugu and Asaba Airports.




If Nigerian government aren't on a self-destruct mission, the most viable railway route the FG ought to consider in Southern Nigeria is:


Lagos to Aba to Portharcourt


This route will generate the highest revenue for them.


It will connect even more cities and towns in the South.


Lagos, Ijebu Ode, Orre, Benin city, Agbor, Asaba, Onitsha, Obosi, Ihiala, Mgbidi then Owerri, Aba, Portharcourt.


This route will generate trillions for Nigerian government, and even if they triple the ticket cost, so long as its clean, secure and well managed, they will not meet up with passenger turn out on daily basis.





As for viable airports in Nigeria, if a clean unbiased statistics is released, it should be:


Lagos
Abuja
Portharcourt
Owerri
Kano
Asaba



After Lagos local airport, Owerri airport should be the next busiest local airport in Southern Nigeria. Asaba airport is busy owes tribute to Anambra people coming through Asaba due to proximity because of Anambra airport location.

Victimization mentality has eaten you deep, which government is suppressing you guys ? You just wake up one morning and think everyone hates you guys because of the civil war you people caused .

If the government really hate you even in Igbo land your business will not still thrive .
Before you spill your rubbish as reply , I want you to mention igbo billionaires doing well in business that’s having issues with the federal government and still doing well?

Or likewise mention any Nigerian billionaire that’s having issues with federal government and still thrive ?
All your indigenous business men and women enjoys support from the government.

It's shame when Nigerians try so hard deny Igbo marginalization, exclusion and lack of attention in the region.

I don't have to be Igbo see the obvious.

Despite all these, Igbos are soaring high both home and abroad

Cosbyrich:
Good one but wey the trooping,sir?
Well,people that will come through buses are very grateful to the FG for the 50% slashing.
Kudos to Tinubu

FG didn't slash anything.
APC and Tinubu are propaganda based.
My cousins traveled to cross river

Cosbyrich:
lol
Look at this ostrich.
Millions of your people are in the SW but only a handful travel because they cannot afford the money.
Today,they are happy because of the slash.
They will be able to travel to alaigbo for the first time

Bro people are traveling o...
Secondly, there was no slash

PureFace1:
You ever think maybe they didn't just see the needs for more airport in the East.

The east is the smallest region in Nigeria, how long is it even going to take to travel around a region that's just as big as Oyo state ? It is just like Oyo state having more than 2 airports, when one is not even generating any revenue.

One or two airports should be more than
enough for the East unless the available one are overcrowded and there's a possibility of generating more revenues with additional one. When there's not even a possibility of generating more revenue, it is not necessary, but the north is very big especially Adamawa which is one of the largest states in Nigeria and traveling by roads can take more times so an airport can be build for just the utility even if it is not going to generate much.


Adamawa is one of the largest states in Nigeria bigger than the whole East and even Oyo state, it didn't have a single Airport until that one was built in Yola but the East have at least 3 airports they can access.

The East is the smallest and most entitle region in Nigeria, marginalization is just in your head.

This is the mistake you guys are making.
It's not about landmass size.
It's about purchasing power and population density.

Going by the ethnic map I attached below, igbo area has viable airports.

Asaba
Anambra
Enugu
Owerri
Portharcourth

Adamawa maybe bigger in land but it's beyond land

Laird:
Please fellow Nairalanders I apologise

It s unfortunate that some Igbos are still loud , myopic , delusional and focused on non essential topics


And Yes I am Igbo and I have lived in all regions in Nigeria

What the Noise about ??

There are wealthy people in each geopolitical zone and many of them don't make noise

Enter Just Dangote Refinery' and You would shut your mouth. This is just one of many assets of Aliko Dangote . Even 1% share of it is worth billions of naira. We once lived next once to a Yoruba multimillionaire maybe a billionaire now and no noise.


Some of you opening useless threads boasting of your perceived igbo superiority in my opinion did not start getting exposed at an early age. There are rich people in each zone. How many people knew David or Dbanjs parents until they entered music

South Africans bought 500 thousand new cars last year. Morocco and Egypt bought a hundred thousand+ new cars last year, Nigeria bought just 10000 new cars last year which are mainly government bought


Nigerian citizens have poor purchasing power even in Africa and You are busy measuring egos against other Nigerian tribes. Please have sense Nwanne

There are a lot of Indians, Pakistani, Lebanese , Chinese and Nigerians making money in Nigeria and nobody hears their voice

Bros forget dangote and his government group.


Dangote is a government diamond spoon fed billionaire.
I will take dangote serious when thrives outside Nigeria like many ibo business owners across west and Central Africa,

DrDoc:
Ethnicentric charged information and noise. Where are the inages to backup these claims ?

Go to school first

PureFace1:
You are deviating and letting your insecurity to rear itself out.

I didn't say Lagos is bigger than the East.

Landmass is also relevant to what i'm saying. It's going to take more time to drive to the Airport in bigger region than smaller region.

People in Adamawa are going to spend a lot of time to get to the nearest airport unlike the people in the East, the government can build the airport in Adamawa to make the lives of those that use Airport in Adamawa to be easier. The East already have like 3 Airport already people there don't need to spend a lot of time to get to the nearest Airport like Adamawa that's very big without a single Airport.

Both down the line, it has proven that yola airport is no where close to Owerri.

Owerri has better domestic activities than any other airport in the North aside Abuja.

Owerri, Enugwu airport are far ahead kano and kaduna contemporaries.

It's not about landmass size but economic strength of the people

Jogs1900:
Innoson that is enjoying BOI loan and federal government patronage...Proforce in Ogun state is also an automobile maker.

You better leave those people with their propaganda.

Several government agencies has patronized innoson,even states in the southwest such as Osun state aswell but they will keep shouting marginalization,their problem is entitlement mentality.

He even claimed that innoson is the only indigenous automaker in the country,when we have Proforce owned by a typical Yoruba man and have been in business for years,same as Nord motors.

We also have several indigenous and local automakers that assembled heavy duty vehicles like dangote trucks etc.

So I always like to advice people to ignore them and allow them to Celebrate their ignorance.

yoruboid:
Was expecting to see like twelve planes parked but as usual, they will thump their chest on less than 200 passengers on a plane

Show me any airport in yoruba land that air traffic aside former FCT Lagos.

Uyo and Calabar in my state has better air traffic.

You guys shouldn't be comparing yourself to Ibo ,

bhella10:
Not Ogun?

Which ogun?
Ogun could have been if not that most investment in ogun are owned by foreigners...whom don't put their profit back in the state.


Ogun is a ground for organized capital flight

How did you know this?

porthouse7:
The should just stay back and develop their state and stop running around south west

It's very wrong to say Igbos are ŕunning southwest Nigeria.

Igbos are quite populous....take out to tour around west and Central Africa.....and annually these guys return home, major reason for the massive return.

I'm currently in Senegal and many of my Igbo associates has left

Laird:
Honestly You are very foolish. I am Igbo but some of you cause problems

Shouting unnecessarily, making noise, causing problems for your fellow Igbos elsewhere by your noise. I have lived in all geopolitical areas of the Country and spent minimum of 9 years in each
There are good and rich people everywhere. My first major career opportunities was not even from Igbos.
Yes I am Igbo. We all need each other.

Africa can't even produce a common battery or ceiling fan from scratch.
South Africa is the biggest economy in Africa

Nigeria no get seat for UN Security council despite population and You are talking rubbish

Please get your facts right. My younger brother sells ibeto battery in Calabar

Emperormartin:
This has finally silenced the media war concerning the ongoing sit at home and it's menace...

As you can see Igbos are trooping back to their land of origin to celebrate with their families.

They know who their enemies are and the BLF equally know the enemy of that region.

The enemies are the target and not the citizens.

Believe Nigeria media news outlets about sit at home at your own peril

We know people that spread false news in this country.

Ogene001:
And you thrive in propaganda and wail when fact prove otherwise. Meanwhile Akure and Ibadan airports are wasting away. Lagos Ibadan railway is recording huge loss

hahahaha!

The East already have like 3 Airport already people there don't need to spend a lot of time to get to the nearest Airport like Adamawa that's very big without a single Airport, yet you are the one demanding for more. You guys are just entitled

bloody illiterate

Its annoying the way they always claim they are being maginalised.They will never blame their state governments.They lie too much

Make una sha Dey do una due diligence before una fly plane o, we no wan hear say plane crash o

Yeah! So that their village people can see them and pull out their case files.....

EmperorCaesar:
This isn't supposed to be an achievement

Who cares if they can afford flight ticket or not

The question is, what are they doing to make SE the most economically viable region

No be to dey run comot for house dey come at night con dey braggado for village people

Don't tell me u are celebrating this 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You would find fault with people coming home to celebrate Christmas! Can't you just be happy for once? This is Christmas time. It's a time to find happiness even in the small things of life.

Are you this dumb? Do you build airports for the land or for the people?
The Adamawa airport is not is viable or busy as the Enugu, Anambra, or Owerri Airports. Same goes for the Oyo airport, it's not as busy as any of the 3.
So get it, you don't build airports because you have a large landmass, you build it because it is viable.

NwekereNdokl:
Nice. Chinua Achebe international airport is the best and busiest east of the Niger. Anambra is the most viable and most developed state in Nigeria aside Abuja, Lagos and Rivers states

This is how you people go about propagating your lies and noise! Lmao!
Imo Airport is the 4th/5th busiest and most viable airport in Nigeria after PH airport and this is a documented fact.. Imo and Kano airport are competing, so stop telling lies. I can't believe grown adults come online to make noise about such nonsense...What is there in boarding a flight? Very embarrassing thread indeed

Please get your facts right. My younger brother sells ibeto battery in Calabar

My facts are right Sir. Recycling and manufacturing from scratch are 2 different things . Ibero batteries recycle

See the article below and the part I quoted
https://www.google.com/amp/s/businessday.ng/investigations/article/west-africas-biggest-battery-manufacturing-plant-lies-idle/%3famp=1


The company which currently employs 380 staff, commissioned its 2 units of modernized 10ton each with state of the art technology rotary furnaces and two refinery units, making it the biggest battery recycling capacity in West Africa, in May 2015

It is like the Moderators like all this Tribal comparism threads


This is ridiculous

People talking about capacity to fly and people comparing region all in the same poor country called Nigeria

I searched online and Nigeria is not even one of the top countries with high airport traffic

Seun please appoint a mod to close all threads promoting tribalism

Hope there will not sit at home this Christmas ,just saying ooo, Dem brothers can't be taken for granted, chest beater things
