I think the post is not necessarily about governors who want to build airports.

It's about governors who shouldn't build airports, on the premise that they have 1 or 2 cities close enough that they could use the airports in those cities.

An example is anambra.... asaba airport is about 30 to 45 mins from onitsha (without traffic). Enugu is roughly 1hr to 1hr 20mins.

Abia (aba and umuahia) are both less than 1 hour from the airport in owerri.

Ebonyi people already use the Enugu airport which is about 1hr from abakiliki.

I stay in the SS/SE that's why I used these places as examples.

I hope you get the idea why this post has the above caption.

Wait for real ANAMBRA STATE don't deserve an Airport.

To everyone if you think the OP deserve a check up.

You know what to do......

You know. .....

SpaceTour:
Don't mind most of the comments you read though it is very provocative. They appear as if they love you with their advises but they are actually intimidated and doing it to discourage such noble idea that will see Anambra dominate the aviation sector like they dominate every other sectors in Nigeria. They all know the airport will be among the most viable in Nigeria hence their attack but the good news is that the said project has taken off, the next thing you will see is flights land and taking off. KOOL

if every state should proceed to own airports , air routes / air space will need Re- Routing...some states are ecologically big (combined ) to need one airport, but for now...we need less airports and more of other things...that's the point the op is trying to make.

macjive01:
Anambra and Abia doesnt need any airport at this time.

Enugu Airport is only 1 hour away from heart of an Onitsha .

Asaba airport is 10 mins from Onitsha.
If the proposed airport is built in oba which is at least 30 mins from Onitsha . Most businessmen will still prefer ASABA airport with is literally across the pond.


Same for ABA. There are two airports within 30mins of ABA - Imo airport and portharcourt airport.
If the proposed airport is built in umuahia, owerri airport will still be closer to ABA business men and will continue to be preferred due to proximity.

I rather they plunge that money into other state infrastructure.

They can built world class hospital for a start.

Or a dubai class shopping mall and move their current dirty markets into malls.

you didn't make sense.

why do anambra indigene have to go to delta enugu or imo states to spend money dat should have been spent in anambra.


airport is a priority is anambra if really the government is serious about its think home strategy. every anambra money should be spent in anambra so that it will circulate in anambra..and strengthen anambra economy.

having an airport in anambra will create jobs for anambra youths.

the tax returns from the anambra airport is good for igr...

it will be good especially wen u 're working on bringing foreign investors. the presence of an airport will boost the confidence...


I have more but. I ll stop here.

stop disgracing Ur self pls.

danemenike:
Remove Anambra and Nasarawa, the both need airports..

okwadatigbogal:
I will always say something. The major problem of a typical anambra person is inferiority complex and insecurity. They must always argue aggressively over nonsense. I believe that some mods on this nairaland are on the payroll of the anambra state government. To be sincere...what exactly do u need an airport for? There are three airports surrounding there, no matter which side y are going to in anambra. Asaba, enugu and owerri. Aba market is even the main production market in the southeast and that area might even be in more need for an airport than anambra, but typical abia ppl dont make noise and they are quite reasonable ppl.inferiority complex shows on al of u everytime u open ur mouth in public. You all just want an airport simply because u want to brag u have an airport and NOTHING ELSE!!!see them bragging as usual, when it is known that more than half of the traders on onitsha are not even from anambra. They will claim that they built lagos, then will also claim that they built anambra. It is natural for onitsha to have such economic values, becos it is close to the sea/port. Its just like lagos indigenes bragging that they built lagos, simply because of the geographical advantage of lagos over other sw states. I have noticed that whenever a post is made about another southeast governor/state, anambra ppl will hijack the tread nd insult that state/governor. Unfortunately, the indigenes of that state will never defend their state (well it could be because they are not jobless or insecure). Believe me, with these anambra ppl, biafra is just a waste of time. Because, they are a bunch of uncivilized, noise making braggarts, and whn/if biafra is actualised, they will turn themselves into nuisances. Abiriba ppl in abia state ARE the richest set of Igbos (quote me anywhere), but u dont hear noise from them. Even Delta and Imo ppl have lots of billionaires, but they do not make noise because there are many civilized and secure ppl from there. They do not feel the need to brag anyhow to show their wealth. I am thru with my epistle, dont bother menstruating under my comment.i wont reply u...no time at all..

agitator:
Don't you know that the cargo airport will reduce Lagos IGR?

propaganda spinning machine in motion, that's how they closed all seaports and airports, indirectly forcing importers and international business men/women to be using mostly Lagos for everything.

slap1:
Somebody will just wake up and post nonsense here and they take it to the front page.

fabregas04:
na u dey post nonsense, d op raised a gud topic, nasarawa needs no airport when abuja and jos can service it, anambra too, asaba is less than 20m, enugu and owerri are very close, ekiti and osun own na bad idea, when ondo and oyo that are close to them bearly function, ogun seats conviniently btw Lagos and Oyo, same as abia, btw imo and P/H, these Govs need to be taught basic Economics.

Sibrah:
Our politicians are clowns. Building airport when there are no industries.

Oma307:
What about kogi state

chiefobdk:
I don't understand this post. U did not tell us why they don't have to build airport...

ifevictor:
Most commentators on nairaland have refused to avail themselves of adequate information about issue before commenting. Nigeria considering it's present economic state has no need for new airports anywhere in the country. of all the existing airports, statistics have shown that only 3 are economically viable and sustainable. so why should they continue wasting taxpayers money on projects that aren't sustainable. Instead of those states forming regional collaboration to open their states by building high speed rail across their state that will be affordable and sustainable at the long run. Airports in ibadan, Akure, Benin, ilorin have not shown any sign of economic viability. Furthermore, considering the present purchasing power of a typical Nigerian, how many people have enough purchasing power to fly instead of boarding bus... Proper planning and critical analysis ought to have carried out before constructing huge projects and not just scoring political points at the detriment of more important areas of national life.

guest12345:
Kogi State has an Airport during colonial time and when politics/bad politicians start their business in Kogi State the Airport was abandon.

betterABIAstate:
Its more cost reasonable for someone going to Onitsha to ply Asaba airport than any other one close to nnewi.

sorepco:
All these to be accomplshed in 3 yeras? Guy wen person de fool u know when to tell him to stop. That u ve heard enufff..

DeAfricana:

Princewell2012:
