Community project. If a few people perhaps with some support of the government could build airports back then, why do modern day government borrow outrageous amounts to renovate existing airports?

Pls note that there was no support of any government.. Funds solely contributed by individuals .


Thank you

Those people that donated 200K in 1983, dem be real big men oh . 200K in 1983 is like 200m now

1983! Abeg wey de err-port in 2020? Fake donations. Ipob deceiving ipob.

Oh my God! Just saw that num 11. Baba have been a giver from time immemorial. Ndi Enugu Agu Achi ....are proud that your name is the history book for a good course.

No wonder these people hate Igbos and fear biafra. Because they know the igbo man doesn't need the government to better his life. Igbo deserve their own country abeg, they are way more advanced than other Nigerian tribes. Little wonder they are called IGBO- Ancient people

I would have loved if they can come together to build a refinery the size of Dangote's. That's 12Bn USD or over 4 Trillion.

I can see Arthur Eze name there, 100k. This was more of Eastern project.

God bless Ndigbo. Igwebuike!

I guess those with + to their names are late now. God rest their souls

There was electric type writer back then, so stop saying what you don't know.

True.

Bring out facts to counter the post or remain shut forever .
Let me leave this here :IGBO NA ATO KA SUGAR
The airport is named in honor of a former governor and politician-philanthropist, the late Chief Sam Mbakwe of Imo State. It is the first state-government-built airport. Navy Commodore Anthony E. Oguguo, who was military governor of Imo State from 1990 to 1992 during the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida, commissioned and built the airport. He famously said "I saw money and looked away, it is not everything; we can all do the same and teach it to our children." It was later taken over by the federal government.

Mehnnnn, its been long some men started torching money. Iwuanyanwu

That was when real citizens were concerned about the well being of the people.
Not selfish purpose as it's obtainable now.
And now everyone waits for government for everything.

Spot on.

They didn’t include us as primary pupils that contributed 30kobo each.

Bitter soul..naaa bile full your belle

Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyawu and his wealth have stood the test of time. Very impressive.

the government itself is very stupid, they can arrest u, for helping them to repair road. There was a time I had an opportunity to grade a road in my area with my company's grader, I was advised not to it, that someone was arrested for repairing government road. only the government can fix road or can give permission to individual to so.

Good question!

deavicky:

Fact!

My name is not there, I paid 10 naira airport levy during my primary school. So please I deserve recognition.

That was when igboland had leaders.
Today we have ugwanyi and ikpeazu.

You are quite observant.

No way in this world that document was made in that font in 1983.

igbo chai this people always hustling day in day out how i wish this country will give them a chance to governor just for 8years or more Help them to uplift Nigeria i also see good aspect in all tribe just that we have a messed up system but soon everything will be alright igbokwue!!!! i respect you guys

A document?.....which means any documents comprising any list can suffice! I don't believe u one bit. If such a valid document exist, your first sentence will start with...."The document....! Be very sure before you post.

Couldnt have been in this font.

In addition, I'm seeing lots if 50k donations.

In 1983?

This document has been called into question. It does not match the typeset of the era in which it's believed to have been created. For perspective, look at the typeset under the picture of Kalu Idika Kalu.

Names like Mr Arthur Eze on that document adds more doubts to it credibility. As of 1978, Arthur Eze was still a student in USA. Atlas Oranto Petroleum was not founded till the early 90s. Also, the personal account of Iwuanyanwu on how the airport was built (https://www.sunnewsonline.com/my-ups-and-downs-in-life-iwuanyanwu-2/) does not match this narrative.

While donations were likely made for the project, this document is clearly revisionist and is a fake.
