Actually this is not true. I have been to Delta airport and it can do with some expansion the runway is very small. When i took a flight from Asaba the pilot had to reverse the plane all the way to the end of the runway almost on the grass area and had to speed up very rapidly and mistake a sharp takeoff (rip) because the runway is very short. Im sure the money the airport makes can offset these expansions.

Okay, let’s agree that there’s need to expand that airport. Now the ministry has priority list and limited funds, where would you have them do first? Lagos with the busiest airport? Or Delta airport that has less than 2% of Lagos traffic ?

obailala:
Lagos is Lagos, Delta is Delta! Lagos is the economic hub of Nigeria, not Delta! The airport in Lagos needs this expansion, the airport in Delta needs absolutely no expansion cos it doesnt even have up to 0.1% of the tradfic of Lagos airport. No be for everything dem dey use take argue equality abeg!

God bless your heart! Everything don to politics this days, common sense don leave my people body.

obailala:
Why exactly must everything in Nigeria be misconstrued and turned to politics and pointless sentimental arguments?

Clearly the positioning of the Dominion and Evergreen hangers block the taxi path for big airplanes to the new MMIA terminal. Since the brand new MMIA terminal was completed and commissioned, numerous international airlines have refused to use the new terminal for the same excuse... "we cant maneuver our big planes to the apron of the new terminal."

Smash the damn hangers, expand the way and compensate the owners of the hangers appropriately. Why does this have to be repeated or dragged endlessly?

Exactly! These days we have clearly lost common sense and subscribe to political sentiments every single time.

How did a private jet hanger even managed to get built right beside the public use terminal? Who even approved that in the first place. They should be moved away completely, maybe close to the local airport or wherever. If it’s blocking a much needed expansion then smach it down ofcourse.

onuman:
Why not expand the airports in the NC, SS or SE where most of the users of Lagos airport come from?

It's only in a Zoo Republic that federal government funds expansion of sea and airports every new administration in only one city already jam-packed from population and traffic bust.
This una greed in the SW is most primitive in nature.
Una never chop bellefull from oil proceeds from the Niger Delta as booty?

My friend brought his kids from America to Nigeria, the kids travelled 10 hours by road from Lagos to their home state and swore they will never return to Nigeria again because of the hassle of road travel.

There’s a functional international airport in almost every state in Nigeria.

Why need to expand an airport that not being used to capacity?

Wherever your American friend state was, I’m sure there’s an airport in that state that they could fly into from Lagos but instead they choose to drive, that’s not the govt fault.

It’s a public knowledge that airlines like to fly into the big cities or big hubs only, that’s not also the FG fault. Reason for Lagos expansion = it is being used over its capacity so they built new terminals and now they are making ways for the new terminal to be useful while they renovate the old building.

Bonus; your state government could approach an international airline woo them with incentives to make the state their hub. This is done in many part of the world, state governments woo airlines and make them use their smaller airports as a hub to drive traffic to the airport. I’m sure FG will have no problem expanding it when necessary.

Which scenario
A full blown out war, will result if Putin is mad enough to strike a European Union member who is also a NATO.
Trust me Putin ain't that mad to do that.
No scenario will make Putin try that, except he wants a full blown out war,which am sure he doesn't


Also there is nothing like private military pilots 😂, no NATO member will allow military jets flown from its territory to strike Russia
What will be an act of aggression, Romanian won't even be that mad to do that.

I don't like all this conspiracy theories, pmc flying jets from NATO member states to strike Russian targets, his simply not possible

If a jet is flying out of a nato soil to attack Russian soil and back, it makes that aircraft and its landing base a legitimate target irrespective of who owns it, NATO know this well.

About 4,000 per tree, that is very unrealistic figure.

Tree planters in US and Canada usually make between 0.10-0.30 per tree. 0.30 x 900 = 270.

This is my beloved country where we are known to have cheap labor so there’s not way they’d pay upto 270 per planing.

The seeds are bought in bulk and will definitely not cost 3k naira each.

Op, please remove Etwasini… they are a kingdom and ruled by kings, so that is a legitimate leader. Others are not!

obedience4:
Lol, Putin no bold to strike a NATO member territory

In this scenario those countries will become legitimate targets.

Unperturbedpota:
True , but the middle east and wesern nations are the real gold mine.

Even a paramedic here in Michigan earns about $6000 monthly in wages exclusive of extra hours clocked. And extra hours plenty die na your strength go determine 😎

Japa now, Nigeria is a wasted nation

Are you a Nigerian?

Living abroad shouldnt make you lose your sense enough to call your motherland a “wasted nation”
If the Americans talk down on their country like that I am sure you won’t be there today typing from there.

In as much as so I don’t discourage anyone who may choose to japa, but talking down on our country should be big “no no”

hisexcellency34:
With the latest coup in Gabon, which country President Bola Tinubu's ECOWAS or the African Union face now with military troops?

Why must you create a topic to show the world how ignamorous you are ?

Blackman101:
remain
1. Togo
2. Cameroon
3. Benin
4. Ghana (if care is not taking)

African economy is in a mess and the followers are get tired of the ruling class,

let god help out all cause sanction alone will not address the problems

Please remove Benin from the list, they have been enjoying stable government, same as Ivory Coast.

But Togo and Cameroon are definitely next in line. The French colonies revolution just started. They all have to collectively stop paying the colonization tax nonsense, and forge their own currencies. They need their independence NOW! It’s loooong overdue.

Plenty mumu comments here, they are quick to curse Tinubu for their personal problems but not knowing that Gabon is central Africa and got nothing to do with Ecowas.

Revolution in French speaking countries was looooong overdue, this is no mistake, it is those countries saying enough. The French keep taking, openly and being the doors, they keep installing their puppet and make them stay in power forever while keeping poverty in their country. Togo and many other countries will join soon.

Only Ivory Coast and Benin seem to have a relatively stable democracy that might not go these route.

cybersoldiers:
You're shameless for supporting criminality.

Criminality ? You should be ashame for supporting fake information. The lady being talked about on this forum is an African American who only married someone with the last name Tinubu and may or may not even be related to your CURRENT PRESIDENT.

Now you should be ashamed of your gullibility, peace ✌🏾

lordprogress:
But china has a population of 1.4 billion people that's almost ×5 of our population, corruption is our major problem not population the earlier we face it the better
You talk of the 1 child policy by chairman Deng(who transformed china) but was is it the main reason for China economic growth.

Population is indeed part of our major problems. Stop comparing us to China, they literally locked themself up and over a decade, enforced population control until they got it right. Now they can better manage.

Compare us to India or Pakistan. India has large population too and they are dealing with it.

Incognito403:
No it's not. Neo-colonialism and irresponsible leadership are the major causes of poverty.

OVikkytan49:
Whenever they want to justify their unreasonable point, they always make references to UK and USA. As if, they are our mates.
I remember how one man brought up USA when we were discussing about Nigeria's loan.

The same US that was already going to the moon while we were still fighting for independence from their uncle 😂😂😂

OVikkytan49:
The fact that we even compare a country that is barely 63 yrs old to 250 yrs old country is sickneing. A country that has stood for centuries and the test of time.

Even in this country, rich people don't like giving births that much.

I find it really annoying when they are quick to compare us to US and UK. And not India or Pakistan that are relatively close to us in population and resources and foundation.

I agree, 100%!

I know this came from that WhatsApp group and the blog called Parallel Truth 😂😂😂 Obi is indeed a smart man to be able to pack these people in one box lol

Incognito403:
Is population the cause of poverty?

Yes! High population is one of the major causes of poverty. Especially when not properly managed.

lordprogress:
Misplaced priority is china and the u.s whose population is far bigger than ours but are living way better than us.
Don't just try to blame poverty on population because it is null and void from the onset.

Now that we have started this comparison again to our local problem let me help you.

China has a 1 child policy for many decades.
US and other western words are dealing with dwindling population, the new generation in those countries are not having kids anymore, they are embracing lgbtq+ hence, child birth in those places are not the same as compared to 50yrs ago.

If we must discuss Naija problem, let’s think of a local solution. If we just compare at all, then use Indian whos in similar situation as ours. Not always the US and any big country.

Moh248:
No Pat is a yoruba man from ekiti

So he’s an Ibo man

Moh248:
Trial and error government.


Pat utomi did all the analysis gave it to osibanjo but Buhari rejected it because na Igbo man.

When obansanjo worked with Pat utomi una no see as Nigeria dey?

No Tinubu for continue with the old way.

Omo Igbo my foot I even regret why pat hand am to osibanjo

Your ignorance and bigotry get masters degree 😂😂😂

This was former finance ministers idea, Kemi Adeosun. It was implemented for about a year between 2017-2018.
How did Pat got into this topic?
Is Pat even an Igbo man ? Lmao 🤣

Nairalanders sha

Real definition of Amonisheni

grandstar:
I never knew Arizona had a sizable black population. I have 2 cousins there, a Sola and an Ope.

Yes we do, and it’s increasing daily.

Another bigoted post.

Tinubu is the president of Nigeria not president of the Yorubas.

Not all yorubas voted for Tinubu.

Must you always publicly massage your bigoted mindset ?

SpatialKing:
Useless comparison

Very!

Leemekzy:
stamp your passport at the border.

This is okay to do but not mandatory. The benefits of ecowas is that you can travel with any IDs issued by the member state if you are not arriving by air. So not stamping won’t be an issue at all.

Taylor90:
You know the most underrated advantage of living abroad is their swift medical treatment and care

Do you know that Sam Okparaji died at Surulere football stadium because ambulance no gree start

Does this lady know how many Nigerians that has lost their lives because NEPA took light during surgical procedures

Do you know how many lives that has wasted in Nigeria to negligence and poor facilities?

Do you know I know someone that lost a mom because of 10k balance before treatments?

This is a free health insurance you get abroad for free

Let’s not even talk of minimum wage, basic amunities, security, standard of living and the rest

Whatever makes an American depressed and sad na mortuary standard for Nigerian be that

Omo I’m very sure Nigeria is the forbidden country God told Abraham

The swift medical that you pay arm and leg for ? And get over charged for simple headache ? Abeg it’s not that rosy like you imagine it.

You people should stop this mumu comparison abeg.
