Your objectivity should be for yourself alone and not a must. Your public opinion is needed in Nigeria factor not a state factor you doesn't belong.

Did Anambra state made you their consultant?

The answer as well is No.


They say charity begins at home and not in another man's land. Your is on fire and you busy looking for another man's house to quench his fire.

Who does that?


Before a warrior goes onto battle, he must make sure his house is in order before heading out.

Your objective Opinion should start from your base before advising others on what to do. That's how reasonable men behave.

Actually, ignorance is not an excuse. I am not the first to point out the wastage of resources when it comes to "airports". There are lots of articles by aviation experts if you bother to READ:

http://www.woleshadare.net/white-elephant-airports/

"New Telegraph reported recently that by the time airports in states like Bayelsa, Ekiti, Abia, Osun and Ogun are completed; some states would have invested over N150 billion on aerodromes that may not significantly improve their economies. Some of the airports that have been inaugurated are currently unviable as they witness little traffic."

https://punchng.com/mad-rush-for-state-airports/

"Of the 25 airports managed by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, experts say only the two in Lagos and Abuja are viable."

https://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/283258/airport-project-fancy-misplaced-priority.html

"The same is playing out in Nigeria when some state governors are obsessed with the idea of their states owning their own airport. States like Osun, Ekiti, Gombe, Ogun, Zamfara, Nassarawa, Anambra, Abia and Bayelsa have gone bonkers in their bid to build their own airports without the thought that such a project is worse than a white elephant project."

https://thenationonlineng.net/dangerous-crave-for-unviable-airports/

"“They should set up industries before embarking on building airports, which to us all, are to serve the opulent lifestyles of few elite. State governors must first address the poor state of the roads, dilapidated hospitals, schools, lack of water, sanitation, unpaid salaries still bedeviling these states. Regional approach to infrastructural deficits should be initiated. States should not go to capital market or issue bonds to build airports.”

Mechionu, you are not making any sense here, those states with airport do they have more industries than Anambra? Why are you here deceiving yourself? Ok now the project is ongoing, what shall you do next? Si ebe puo, you have nothing reasonable to say.

And my answer to your research is simple Anambra has the population and all it takes to Carter for her airport.

Lagos has the population plus business activities.
Anambra has the population plus business activities.

The only reason you crying more than the bereaved is because the airport will affect the fortune of other airports and probably your state own.

Don't bother about the traffic, let Obiano complete the airport first then the traffic will decide for itself whether it will stay or die off which me and you already knows the answer.

Your research is myopic based on few states not what they have on ground.

I don't know why anambra airport is generating so much heat why not allow Obiano to finish and let's see how viable it will be.



Your point is Invalid and defeated.

Something is seriously wrong with you. Every criticism of the state government means being "anti-Anambra". You always are looking for who to abuse. You need to learn maturity and how to communicate with people since you clearly behave like a child who grew up without manners. GROW UP.

I thought Ndibunna is Kool?

Please, allow a man to determine how his father's house should be built... If Anambra wants a city airport, it's absolutely their choice and the best you can do is to wish them good and go your way simple.

My only issue with Anambra is that they think whoever criticizes their way of reasoning must be from IMO STATE. ..

No sensible man disturbs himself with the affairs of another man....I really wish they know this

You have resumed your work today here. Why are you worried about us? Did anyone mention your useless Imo state now?

Do you want us to scatter Imo thread now so you can start crying to your fake DSSS? Respect your and get off to Imo thread before you see what pass you.

Hehehehe. .. fake DSS... you go know when we present your history to you. ..

As far as you keep calling others useless.... They will continue to teach you that NAIRALAND belongs to every one who has a smart phone. .. You can excercise your discriminatory rants in your room. ... I can come here and type what I wish... . Until you pick a pump action ... .Then we shall know where your murderous tendencies will lead you to.

If you do not want anyone then go and develop www. Anambra Nairaland. Com and then you can censor who ever registers by going to thier liasin offices to confirm if they are from your state or not.

Every one has the right to go into any thread to comment.. .. Go to your room to claim land not on Seun's Nairaland

We are not under any kind of region or province.
So each state has right to pursue her development as deemed fit by her.

Every one is free to comment here including that Iranian on the beaches of Baghdad.. .. you have no right to tell anyone where to comment.. ... Yes, you don't have that rights... .If Other tiribes where half as full of hatred as yours do you think you would have a shop to sell?

Sometimes I don't understand the herd mentality of people. People should learn to THINK for themselves instead of copying. An Airport is a hub of transportation. Nothing more, nothing less. It makes money from fees and taxes from flights. An airport is profitable the more valuable the flights that depart/arrive at its PORT. Most of Nigeria's airports are white elephants because they are built at huge cost and generate very little revenue.

Lets us an example - Asaba:

Asaba International Airport
Cost: 32 billion.
Passenger Traffic: 200,000 / year.
Average Revenue per year (est.): 600m
Operating Profit (est.) per year: < 130m

The State government has concessioned Asaba airport to private investors in exchange for 100m per year. The investors are not assuming the huge amount of debt sunk into the airport. Instead all they have to do is cover operational costs. But for Delta State government getting 100m per year it will take around 320 years to recover the 32b it sunk into that airport. That is the very definition of white elephant.

The only airports in Nigeria that are making serious money are the international airports with TRAFFIC. Lagos Murtala International Airport for example makes at least 15,000 per passenger and 3m international passengers go through it. Its revenue is easily over 45billion naira.

However, Enugu International does just 40,000 international passengers and 300,000 domestic passengers so its revenue is proably somewhere around 1.5 billion naira.

So given the low volume of flights throughout the South-East (Owerri, Enugu, Asaba), and the small distances between cities, the South-East State Governments really should be working together to promote ONE airport as a regional international aviation hub. Enugu ideally makes a lot of sense because of the existing infrastructure and federal investment. It was symbolic that all 5 state governors turned up when Goodluck pronounced that airport international.

Anambra State Government and others should focus on building proper large organized Bus and Truck terminals in cities for inter-state buses in major cities like Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka. This will yield a lot of revenue since most people move by road. For example, assume that around 3m people travel between Anambra and Lagos per year. If you build large bus terminals with bus ticketing offices and places to board buses and charge 7.5% VAT then a typical Lagos ticket of N4,000 will be taxed 300 yielding 1b in VAT on the Lagos-Anambra route. You concession parking, food stands, shops and bus terminals can compete with Air Ports in revenue.

The same goes for trucks and trailers and individal-owned buses. The State government loses a lot of revenue to street agents by allowing buses, trucks and trailers to park along the sides of expressways rather than in official parks. In organized countries, trailer parks not only yield parking revenue but conveniences.

Finally, the state has to recognize illegal hawkers not as symptoms of "poverty" but as a single-owner business. In other countries street vending is licensed and fixed to a particular spot and limited in number not to constitute nuisance. New York City for example has a few street stands where t-shirts or popcorn or bags are sold. They are carefully regulated. They have trash bins and pay tax to the city. But in Nigeria, you have armies of hawkers laying siege to popular corners of business districts dumping trash on the street or in gutters. Totally unregulated.

Your argument is flawed abi-initio because you base it on the present Nigerian political-economy that has Lagos and Abuja as centres of gravity! If Nigeria is restructured or dismembered, all airports in the south-east and south-south (existing and planned) would be viable in their own right!

Hehehehehe. .. .. I respect my big friends from Anambra, but you will feel the pain
