Benin airport is 79 miles away from the CENTER of Asaba. The proposed location of the new airport (on the outskirts of Asaba) would be ~70 miles away from Benin Airport. With properly built roads, there is no reason why it should take more than an hour/hour 15 minutes to move between Benin and Asaba.

79 miles is equal to 127kilometers - even if you travel at a contant speed of 127km/hour on the road between Benin and Asaba, it will still take you an hour, so, say something else. There is no way you will travel between Benin and Asaba for less than one hour - sir!

How many country goes to the Olympics, how many wins a medal? The joy is in performing not in winning.

I am very sad when i read comments like this . No hope for Nigeria

No no no - I lost hope in Nigeria the day Ribadu became a man who refuses to take orders from constituted authority.

CyberG:
Did you mean victimized by a corrupt government to further it`s agenda, keep you out of Nigeria and if you are there, make your life of little worth compared to dogs in the country the same man is speaking? Well, for your information, unlike Nigeria, their law makers don`t piss around and waste their time like they had nothing to do with it - plus Ribadu was not the only person invited. I think the reasoning world left you behind a long time ago.

and you think every meaningful Nigerian, apart from the ones on NairaLand, take you seriously for what you have just posted? You are a schmuck.

the greatest lie you have told is to say that the Asaba airport is less than an hour from Benin. With that said, I conclude noone should take anything u have said serious. Do your home work properly.

mikeansy:
I thought they said INTERPOL is chasing him down

Folk I think you need to grow up

The big deal is that everybody sees the EFCC under Waziri for what it is. A hoax

To grow up simply because i dont share your idea? Now who needs some growing up to do? Its obviously yourself.

debosky:
I am not worrying about hypothetical airports - Ogun, Akwa Ibom and a few other states are currently building potential white elephants as we speak. People have mentioned the apparent white elephant Gombe 'International' Airport. The funds expended on these projects are inevitably denying other potentially beneficial projects from taking place.

Akwa Ibom Airport Project Delayed

Give us example of such potentially benficial projects please.

Plain and simple, Nigeria needs to assess the people's needs and what works for the people instead of trying to catch up with the west. The west is being the west and now we need to be Nigeria.

I think I need to do more research on where fashola is building another airport. Can anyone help me with that? Because there is nothing wrong with having more than one airports in a place like lagos. As long as there is a need for it. The thing is shouldn't there be other international airports in more places in Nigeria first? Because if other governors do decide to build and manage well international airports in their states, most of Nigerians won't have a need of using lagos international airport as much.

No, anything that gets done in Nigeria is called white elephant project, if it gets done in the West/Europe, it is not white elephant, in Nigeria, all we need is food, we dont need any infrastructure.

First you are not igbo.

Secondly going by your suggestions only edo(your state) and ondo should take care of the bad spots on that road since asaba benin is good.

Ignore Ikeyman, he is nothing but a name calling goat and a twert, short man devil and a tribalist.

biina:
Blame who for what?
Drivers changing lanes unnecessarily - I blame the drivers
Government increasing the number of lanes when it will not solve the problem - I blame the govt

So because drives change lanes now, government should not build roads? Na wa o, my people perish for lack of knowledge.

so? what if he did? A man shamed in his own country finds solace abroad, as usual - what is the big deal in that? What is new in what he has said? Nothing man!

These same run away Nigerians talk about Nigeria as if they realy know whats going on down there, if u all like, hit your heads on the wall becasude Nigeria is building airports, noone cares.

The same people who finds it un necessary to build railway systems, find it un necessary to build airports, maybe, what you all want to advocate is building more caves so that people in nigeria will reside in it, because that exactly is what your arguments are turning Nigeria into.

biina:
That is what I feel we need: A well connected high speed rail service, complemented by a few regional airports.

I thought the likes of you were on here saying there was no need for the railway project in Nigeria?

Kobojunkie:
Well, the above is valid, so also is considering that demarcations will not work when the accidents occur in lanes going in the same direction. 


The thing fear me oo!!! 120km/hr, for naija road? I go kia kia park for side of road make the motor pass me !!! Even for west Virginia here wey limit be 70 miles/hr, I drive with my heart in my mouth.  Roflmao!!

This is what we are saying, dont talk about Naija cos you know nothing about it - I have driven 140km/hr on Nigerian roads and nothing happened, big deal? You must think the roads are made of pot holes or what?

biina:
The sad part is that, most often than not, increasing the number of lanes beyond a six does not solve congestion problems. Drivers' penchant for frequent changing of lanes often negate the benefits of in the increase.

so who do you blame for that? Government as usual?

Causes of accidents that doesnt include over speeding and carelessness on the part of drivers - what a way to think.

must_a_far:
funny thread this.

No one is laughing.

Looks like this thing is more mouth than action.

sashbaby:
may be you let me in on the projects you are working on. i dont mind being the second person on board.

Project? ROFMALAO

whats this man talking about?

from nowhere

who cares if u do?

You can define capitalist anyway you want, but the meaning of my thread is not lost on many.

It is misplaced priority if it is in Nigeria.

If done in Lagos, it is ok, if done by the federal government it is termed a waste of money. Tribalists and racist people.

noone has said how these projects help the common man, apart from curses and co, I need someone wiser to contribute.

ikeyman00:
^^^^

ur likes are draggin nigeria back ward

I have leaves in my backyard if you want to eat a few.monkey.

Okay, my point has been proved. I see a lot of double talk on NairaLand, it seems to me it is guided by what party you belong to, what tribe you belong to or what side of the bed you woke up from. These same people who count anything done by the central government as a waste of tax payers money, the same people who shout to the heavens on every project initiated by the central government, the same people who will rather the government provide food and social infrastructure, these are the same people also lauding the spending of money in Lagos State, I now learn one thing, on NairaLand, expect double talk, expect political sidelining, expect tribal sidelining, do not expect objective discuss.

Thank you all, the moderator can now close this thread, I now know the people to take seriously and those not to take seriously, I have read loads of comments from these same people when it comes on lambasting and criticising the central government, nothing is spared, no project is necessary when it is initiated by the central government, but when it is Lagos, he might as well spend the whole money on such project and neglect the hungry people. hmmm, human beings will always be human beings.

ikeyman00:
walakobo u are mad, and by the way i never called u names, and again im among your eldery family crew

so look for your associates

You never call me names, yet you call your bald headed figure a slowpoke, do you not now act like a slowpoke?

sorry if u r not a boy, can u just ans. the question then.?

Not all questions needs to be answered, yours qualifies as one. None of the 7 point agenda has a time frame of 2009, go read properly.

Babyboy26:
Please Nairalanders I need your advice.I have done my introduction with my Chick that we have been dating for 10 years.We are preparing for the weedding and I have option to travel abroad.The question now is,should I travel abroad and make more money first and latter come for my wedding at least  we have done our introduction.Or I should do the wedding and latter for money to travel abroad.[Please advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who told you you will make money if you travel abroad?

ode remo:
old boy , objective discussion is comparing like with like, dissecting issues with thoughtful ability and more so tabling your point  beyond doubt. so i don't get you at all, now come and tell us out of 7 point agenda which one had been achieved, or we move to vision 2020  .pls tell us . we r waiting.

Who told you i am a boy?
