AIIA, Enugu, one of the oldest airports in Nigeria.

Yet, some people motivated purely by nepotism and the need to STOP other regions from developing indefinitely shut down the ONLY international airport in the entire region. Then started a litany of excuses and foul politics with fixing the so called "issues" they hitherto promised to quickly fix once they were allowed to shut down the airport for repairs.

There is little wonder why Nigeria is so divided today and why they have held down the entire country in their wickedness to punish whole sections of the country for their voting pattern?

Did OBJ or GEJ punish any section of the country for their voting pattern? Go figure why Nigeria has truly become an unsustainable union and a bloodbath waiting to happen. Unless it returns to the Independence constitution agreed to by our founding fathers.

Beautiful pictures. The same could be said for other cities and towns in Nigeria of that era.

Over the years, our Nigerian cities have become an eyesore, unplanned and looking ghastly from the sky. It's almost as if a war just recently ravaged the country.

In a nation where everyone in the building construction industry, including town planners are doing the work of the architect and the architect in turn has abandoned his own work and is now a contractor, how won't our cities look like a huge refugee camp?
