Comparative advantage my foot. You are not for anything.

You are just a pained fellow. Wawa and inferior reasoning.

[/s] What has Wawa got to do with anything. Do you know there are several Wawa communities in Anambra? You just talk anyhow.

Obi1kenobi:
It's a standard all-purpose airport. The "cargo airport" does not make any sense. Air freight is extremely expensive compared to standard shipping and truck transportation. Nobody will be transporting agro produce, textiles, cosmetics, auto parts etc with FedEx or DHL. I can assure you the overwhelming majority of importers will wait for months to clear their goods at the ports before attempting air freight. It won't bring down any cost of imported goods.

With what is happening at the Lagos ports the costs of coming in from there may even surpass air freight by now, and yet importers will have to wait months to get their goods cleared. As opposed to getting shipments in few days by air. The speed of delivery is a beater any day. The ports over there in Lagos are struggling for breath now. Besides, there are several other things that can be shipped in and out by air at good comparative advantage.

Afam4eva:
The fact that it makes more economic sense to build airports in east than the north does not mean it should be built. Are you competing with the north on who can build ore airports or you're building airports because you absolutely need it? Think about the east and stop thinking about the north.

Who cares if the North has an airport per square inch. The fact remains that an airport in Anambra, especially a cargo one, makes a whole lot of sense. As opposed to your argument. Funny you're fixated on this Anambra airport when the one in Ebonyi makes little sense and looks more like an ego thing.

Ngorbungor:
My point exactly, Southeast might be small to compare other zone, but it generates more traffic than other zone if you remove Lagos, Abuja and PH.

if you check in 2017 and 2018

Owerri airport recorded 416,380 and 510,548 passengers,
Kano recorded 253,578 and 407,380,
Kaduna recorded 157,208 and 168,152.
Ibadan recorded 64,370 and 92,100 while
Akure recorded 26,384 and 62,386.

These shows that is not by land mass or how big you are but is the volume of economy activity in a state

Exactly. It's a pity an economic melting point like Aba too does not have an airport or riverport closeby. The impact would be massive. Overt economic sabotage.

My joy knows no bounds right now. Many of you don't know how key this will be for us Easterners. It's a masterstroke and an act of courage.

[quote author= post=97024975]I wonder why Anambra airport project generating so much debates than other ongoing airports in Nigeria, I finish reading a report by Thisday newspaper reporters on the same airport, on how they been monitoring the project and now it's turning into a reality, I guess it coming from Delta state, I came back from Lagos few days ago I noticed massive developments along Asaba airport, I remember before the airport was built in that axis that area was thick forest now many housing estates, hotels and what have you, now I understand the fear of neighbouring states, When we were small when we started hearing of previous governors proposing to built airport that many forces are against airport to be built in Anambra state, that was before Imo and Asaba airport was built, the fact that Anambra control traffic that feed these airport especially Enugu...[/quote]The economic potential of that airport is so so HUGE. It shows the government has foresight.

Ngorbungor:
Your analysis is not adding up, IMO airport alone generate more traffic than the hole North Western States and North Eastern states and South Western states minus Lagos. And if you look very well Imo and Eungu airport are 4th and 6th busiest despite the closeness and small land mass. Please check FAAN website

KO.

TEDHorsePower:
Nwanne, don't explain anything to those bitter frustrated people. They know the truth but most of them that are not Anambra people are just jittery about airport in Anambra. They know the implication of pulling and channeling Anambra passengers towards Anambra international airport. That's why they are all whining here.

Too bad from them. The cargo airport stands to benefit everyone.

Afam4eva:
Before you start listing the airports in the north, you should tell us the distance between those airports and you will see why a new Airport, despite it's importance is not a top priority to the South East. Enugu to Wherever that airport is cannot be more than 1.5 hours. Asaba to that airport cannot be more than 1 hour and you think it makes sense for Anambra to build an airport. It's not as if the airport will be given an International status. The only thing it will do is to wrestle some traffic from Enugu and Asaba airports.

While the airports in the East may be too close together according to you, they still make much more economic sense than those obscure airports you're talking about in the North that are "well spaced". Those airports are of zero economic impact. Zero. In fact I daresay the economic impact is in the negative(-), those airports have taken more than they've given. They are complete wastes.

Obi1kenobi:...

The airport being built in Anambra is primarily a cargo airport. Considering the high rate of economic activities in the state the airport should have being built atleast a decade ago, taking into cognisance the roads in the country are bad, there is no functional rail transport system, and the waterways in the East have been deliberately overlooked. So when you look at it, you realise the airport is even coming late. But it's better late than never. The airport should on paper, further boost the economy of the state, and the East in general. Also it should crash prices of imported goods coming into the state and the East while also helping Anambra (which is gradually attaining self sufficency) get her goods out, for profit and forex. In fact the benefits to the East in general are too numerous.

Ipob is well run. Forget the blabbing from some armchair critics.

eduj:
Not exactly true. Gej began pilling work on the bridge.By the time he left work had reached such a level that their wasn't any reasonable excuse to abandone it. One of the first things buhari did on assuming power was to stop that project in the guise of renegotiating it. It only began again after 2-3 years.

I give it to buhari for still continuing the project,and our governor's and senators for the pressure they have constantly heaped on the presidency.
But I know Bubu would never give the East anything if he had an option. You doubt me? why is the Enugu airport taking longer than that of other regions ?
why is the SE not experiencing any rail project like many other regions?
why are we excluded from the gas master plan of our country?

why aren't we represented in any security organization?

One cannot use his hand to cover a pregnancy.

The muslims aggresively fight for power, while the Christians are laid back to it. Islam is a very political religion, they believe they must fight and hold onto power by every means at their disposal. Give them an inch and you're gone.

Let me shock you. In Nasarawa state no local government area is muslim owned/dominated. None.

Cjrane:...

We are an endangered species in Nigeria.

nku5:
You are 90% correct. However you said "If" the north backs him. The north is not stupid enough to back someone as garrulous as Wike has been just because he suddenly spews anti-Igbo rhetoric. They flew a kite and he jumped at it like the mad dog he is.

From my experience with northerners (I may be wrong though) he's not their type of VP same as Amaechi. He can be useful to them in other ways like acting as a divider and spoiler at regional level but not an elective position

Well, he's confident he will get their backing.

shizzle11:
lol...dont mind that abokiii

Even the foolish yerubas that have swamped on this thread are calles berebe banza by same hausa people.

Berebe banza translates to stupid tribe- even a more shameful derogatory nickname but the senseless abobakus dont even know this

Lwkmd

nku5:
Wike has cheapened himself very badly and played his political career into a dead end local champion level

I've heard a lot of our people say this. However you have to realise something. There is a reason Wike is taunting the Igbo politically without fear, as regards his ambition at federal level. The reason is because we Igbos have been played to the back at federal level, both complicitly and otherwise. At federal level we are no longer big players. Check this. If Wike becomes a presidential or vp candidate tomorrow, whatever we feel about him is of little bearing to his political destiny if the North is backing him. This is why he is acting as he is doing now.

bigpriik:
Ipob has instilled fear in the north,they are the reason northerners are afraid of touching igbos lives up north,take it or leave it they are our army and will fight for us in time of chaos,just like Igbo youths volunteered to fight for ojukwu ,this is the new generation of igbo volunteers.

The yorubas have amotekun,we have ipob they are by far better than ohaneze ndioshi and other stupid igbo groups just that they don't have any constitutional powers,if we ever turn our backs against them we are done for in Nigeria.God bless ipob ,God bless Kanu ,God bless freedom fighters all over the world.

I didn't know a thread like this is already up before opening mine. Very good! Those of us who like talking thrash about the group should take note of this facts. Stop being naive. We move!

Conrod:
Without the deaths of over 6 million jews there may not have been isreali nation as we know it today,one man's assasination ignited ww1 and culminted with the liberation of many countries hereto under the ottoman empire.

We have given 3 million. It is more than enough.

The purpose of such threads is for us to watch our step very well and know our numbers and priority. Next election Wike may handpick another Igbo sounding bastard to continue in his stead and SE people will rush to support him and proudly call him 7th Igbo governor. We should be wise to this things and learn to identify vipers in our midst.

Christistruth00:
Since when did Lagos become part of Biafra that Kanu can give IPOB orders on live Radio to kill it's Leaders and Police , and also order IPOB to burn down Federal government Buildings in Lagos?

Is it any wonder Gov Wike is Pounding IPOB into dust?!!!!!!

[/s] I asked you a simple question. Did you see Yoruba in the writeup?

I am voicing out a concern for our safety as regards Wike, yet it is still our people here defending him. You see how stupid some of us can be sometimes?

[s]

dignity33:
If you are Igbo better ignore this useless thread because is created by anti-Igbos and he uses different username to comment. Don't be deceived Wike may be bad to Igbos but intention here is not genuine.

[/s] You have no idea how stupid that last statement sounds.

BastardWike:
Stop making that idiot appear powerful when he is not. Are you saying in essence that Ikwerre people don't live in the North? Or do you think the almajiris can differentiate who is Igbo from ikwerre, ijaw or Ibibio? It is same way people in Aba can't differentiate Northerners, or a Kano man from Adamawa man. So, if sh!t eventually hits the fan, be rest assured it will be a mutually assured destruction. Igbos may lose more because of our investments outside our region but be rest assured that any widespread violence will definitely be the end of Nigeria.

The Yorubas are already dreaming of having their own country and the Igbos too are fed up and would definitely call it quits with Nigeria if old wounds are reopened.

The era when Northerners will wake up and start killing Southerners because a joke was made about Mohammed...

You have already said it yourself that we would lose more. Have we not lost enough?

Did you see anything concerning Yoruba in this writeup?

XANDERO85:
I can tell you for free that the kind of attacks against Igbos and their properties that the north committed in 1966 isn't likely to happen today or tomorrow even! Doing so would be foolhardy of them and they know it! Nobody wants 'one Nigeria' to continue more than them, and launching attacks against Ndigbo would inevitably be the precursor to Nigerias' disintegration! Forget our useless and slavish governors and Ohaneze.....Ndigbo will not tolerate such nonsense ever again!

You are aware of how things stand. You are very correct! It is a pity our people are so politically naive to the extent many cannot see that ipob is the shield protecting our people from unrestrained attacks by Northerners. Ipob is the hand restraining their murderous instincts up North. But I will add that our people should quit this nonsense of killing Northerners unprovoked.

mightyhazel:
Anything that befalls igbos will befall the aggressor,so whats your point?

We would be worse hit. Nothing on ground to show we are awake to the existential threat we are facing, many are not even informed. All we've got are our hearts and our bare hands.

Mekysmart: thus call for the wisdom of survival.

You are very much aware of what is playing out. But you are very wrong to call ipob. This tactics of attributing anything unfavorable to ipob is becoming silly. The majority of Igbo people backed Wike and voted for him twice! Let any Igbo person come and deny this here.

mightyhazel:
You talk bull..


I'm beginning to suspect your motive for the thread

You're high on your own hype. If crises erupts we Igbos will be massacred. You think survival is by grandstanding.

mightyhazel:
Nobody can accurately predict the outcome of any conflict..



Wike might actually be the agent of division.. u think an average northern can tell one southerner from the other?

How many Rivers people will be harmed in such a conflict compared to Igbo people? You don't realise Wike does not care for any North and South ish. And secondly the Northerners are not as stupid as you think. They know exactly where to get Igbo people/businesses in their midst.

While some of us are up to speed with what Wike is doing the vast majority are clueless. We must keep ourselves informed as a matter of survival. We are being killed way to much in this country. You should share this far and wide.
