This why corruption is not good Stella Oduah was given 20 Billion Naira at a time dollar cost 110 Naira to upgrade the airport she transformed the money to personal money, when she was invited for questioning unfortunately some ignorant people rallied around her forgetting that it was their own commonwealth that she had stolen, that did not stop President Buhari from trying to remedy the situation becos the fact is SE needs a world class airport, this is very much in the interest of the economic growth of Nigeria, but Saraki & Co use the Senate to frustrate funding for this project, OP you did not complain then!!!. It does not matter APC PDP SDP what matters is good goverance, Since 1999 the South has occupied the office of the president for 14yrs yet it is a Northerner God bless President Buhari that is repairing all the major roads in the south, everytime ignorant unexposed youths from the south of Nigeria hurl insults at the North, the North is illiterate, the North is backwards the North is poor, yet it is the North that pushes this country forward, majority of people in the South are only interested in amassing personal wealth and fame, Southern youths think civilization is listening to the latest song, wearing hip clothes, using the latest phones nay you are just plain consumers, develop yourself develop your societies question and challenge your elected local leaders Ask Stella Oduah to give a detail account how she spent Enugu's Billions

Ike Ekweremadu is as useless as "P" in psychology to Enugu people. Don't blame the Presidency,blame your representatives and Co, they are useless. They were elected to represent the masses but they are busy representing their pockets. Bunch of criminals.

Stella Odua did not build Enugu Airport, she did a facelift the same way he did to Imo, Lagos and some other Nigeria Airports. The airport requires continuous upgrade and maintenance in other to keep it in good standard.
RealTrump:
There is no airport yet in Enugu. What Madam BMW built is called an AIR-STRIP, a patch of land set aside for the takeoff n landing of airplanes.

The East shd accept the above fact n try to build another airport.

If u maintain it after the repairs by the previous administration it shouldn't be damaged yet. Poor maintenance culture. But what do i know. Blame buhari as usual.
Is Buhari no longer the president of the country, including Enugu?
Is his lifeless ghost no longer at the head of the federal administration?
Or you are also following his 97% versus 5% theory huh

The blockheads supported budget padding and replacement of viable projects with constituency developments viz wheelbarrows, machetes, jerry cans.

The imbeciles think we have forgotten how they went against every attempt to upgrade the states.

Ogun kill you there.

Igbo's should learn to stop the victim games they like playing, is it only Enugu's airport that is bad or worse condition in the country? Goan c Ibadan and Jos airports and c poor facilities, problems in this country ain't just about a region but a general thing

PDP you guys carry for head like Gala were in power for 16 years and even made Stella odua an igbo cougar aviation minister under the presidency of your self acclaimed igbo son Jonathan, Why wasn't the Enugu airport transformed to Heathrow airport then? Abi igbo people sef dey marginalize igbos because of civil war? You people are your greatest enemies. Until you hold yourselves accountable erosion and under development will keep holding you backwards. You expect an average hausa/yoruba man to leave his region and build world class infrastructures in the east while your leaders wear red caps and apoche dress in the senate doing nothinghuh You go tey for there.
Before you call SE underdeveloped ask yourself how developed is SW? You guys also make this bogus claims on being way more educated but whenever there's a national/international competition SE sweeps your region aside

the Airport is over rated. always making headlines. haba

Amaechi, a Rivers Minister, will rather see MMIA become a world class airport than Port Harcourt.

Sorry guys, but the civil war and the hate from the rest of this country is real.

Don’t wait for this lifeless government. Upgrade your airport.
5% votes repercussion!!

you are a fool.. i believe all geopolitical zones has a functioning Airport, Enugu is in the SE region, And it's an International Airport receiving both local and foreign traffic, the FG should go do the needful period, that's it.

This administration will still come for that airport upgrade but they have to put the interest of those who voted for them first before coming to people with ZERO electoral value! To me this is normal.

So it's only your region that is in the country and that the government must be catering for? I don't know you guys problems with entitlements mentality.

The fact majority of Igbos prefer PDP to that anti-Igbo party APC does not translate to Igbos carrying PDP for head like gala! Yorubas and Hausa/Fulani who according to your logic carry APC for head like agbo, are their regions El-Dorado?

No one is asking you guys for more than their due....just treat all regions equally, and give all regions their fair share of the countrys' commonwealth that's all they ask! If you find it hard treating Alaigbo equally with Alayoruba and Alafulani because they don't want to vote for a bigot party and president that despises them then no wahala...just stop sending your evil soldiers to the SE to gun down innocent protesters agitating for Biafra and throw you weight behind the calls for secession. This way you can get rid of the Igbos and keep Nigerias' resources for yourselves!

Nobody is saying Alaigbo was transformed during the eight years of PDP, just like you guys can't say the common man in your regions and APC states are faring better than they fared during the 16 years of PDP! If you really want to know the feelings of the average Igbo...whether they prefer PDP, APC, restructuring or secession then conduct a referendum. You can't deny them a referendum and then turn round and accuse them of supporting PDP over anything else; preferring PDP over APC i'll agree with you, but asserting they prefer PDP over anything else is false!

The thing with Senator Oduah is that as minister of aviation she was well on track to deliver infrastructure upgrade on ALL the major airports but her tenure was cut short by accusations of 'approving expenditure above what she's authorised to approve'! Some were desperate to get her out, and the liverless GEJ that should have stood his ground was pushed to sack her because he stupidly thought he would get votes from certain regions come 2015 elections! If she was sacked for anything else, could you tell me what this is? Funny thing is that as we speak, elected and appointed officials from your party of saints (including your darling Buhari) have been accused or caught with their pants down doing much worse than what Oduah was accused of yet they're still sitting pretty with their jobs! Talk about hypocrisy and double-standards!

If you were to accuse other aviation ministers during the PDP years (including Osita Chidoka) of not doing much to improve the aviation fortunes of the country, i'll agree with you, but zeroing in on Oduah who started the transformation in the sector but was edged out by wicked machinations is being disingenuous at best! Perhaps if she had been as bigoted and hateful of other regions like Buhari and Sirika are of the SE and concentrated most of the funds on AIIA then probably she could have done more before the backstabbings set it!

anyway that's your business. stop speaking like a fool. your north central is big, fine. but Enugu Airport is still important to the SE region, it's the only international Airport there.
Re: Enugu Airport A Shadow Of Itself - South East Governors Cry Out by akiOYIBO:
It is shameful and disappointing that the south east governors, ohaneze, easterners and its leaders have chosen to become a pretentious hypocritical animal than fighting-knights for their people. I have said it and would continue to say, If u like make Fr. Mbaka the Nigerian president, the lives and infrastructures of eastern Nigeria will deteriorate even worse. The governors and eastern leaders knows as much as I do but they av chosen to become accomplice and enrich thier pockets. Nigeria has an inscribed policy to kill, maim, destroy, deteriorate, hinder etc the lives and well being of easterners (the biafrans), whether an easterner becomes the president, he is meant to follow the occultic policy. Goodluck was a good example. Any easterner hoping on its governor or Nigeria is doomed. Hausa-Fulani is Nigeria and Nigeria is Hausa-Fulani, can we not rally together and make our lives better? We have lost our leaders, are we also bent on losing Nnmadi Kanu and IPOB? God forbid.

SOMETIME I WONDER WHY RUSIFERS ARE ALWAYS RULING NIGERIAN, WHY WILL GOVERNMENT CONTINUE TO BORROW INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE IN ORDER TO GENERATE INCOME AND STOP PLAYING TRIBAL POLITICS WHEN IT CONCERNED NIGERIA INFRASTRUCTURE OR WHY NOT CONCESSION THE FACILITY TO STATE GOVERNMENT TO MANAGE. WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THIS NIGERIAN LEADERS?
vioment:
Meanwhile, when they borrow from china, they propose to build more so that they can get a hefty sum. Instead of fixing the ones we have and making them world class so that they can function properly and help in bringing riches that can help build another one. A very foolish country i tell you; everyday it is one mumu thing or another in this country.

They build substandardly and expect praise. Idiots everywhere you turn. They build everywhere without adequate planning, see the usa, and see buildings that have lasted more than 50years and are still better and more advanced than these useless structures in nigeria. Nigeria's infrastructure is a case of a lion with 100 sheeps on the world stage.

Facts: A 1 year old to 45 years old nigerian have never experienced constant power supply for 90 days straight.

You are just an Idiot of highest order. You think that we are in military regime that Stella Oduah will say, let us renovate Enugu airport and it will be done. Isn't not because she fought and made Enugu airport an international airport that you northerners remembered that she embezzled money. Pls It is not the function of a minister to determine what project to be carried out rather their work is to suggest and keep mouth shut. The marginalization we Igbo's are shouting about is based on the inequality of house of Senate, that holds the power of a democratic govt.
