Don't mind the nairaland youths. Am close to 50yrs presently and my mum is from the East while Dad is Yoruba. Imagine as far back as 50 yrs ago they have gotten married across ethic boundary and now they have grand children.

Obiagu1:
Children of Hate and Venom.
I greet you all. May you continue to hate on Biafrans.
Law of Karma is no joke.
Ask Northerners how it feels now that they are under attack from Boko Haram. It used to be Igbos that are slaughtered in the North but karma has its ways, now the killers are killing themselves.
It will be your turn soon, the Children of Hate and Venom:
A day shall come when you will see no Biafran to hate and your hate and venom shall visit you by your own people.

Like i wrote to you earlier, you know nothing about the geography of Nigeria.
Kogi state is made up of three major ethnic groups: Ebira, Okun(Yoruba) and Igala. They are different tribes with different senatorial districts and different political/cultural aspirations.
The disputrd area belongs to the Igala. The Okun(Yoruba) area in Kogi state is far from Anambra. If you really want to Anambra to become an Oil producing state, face the Igala who are contending with you and leave Yoruba alone.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
Bros i have no apology for writing this - you are an ignorant doofus ! That you live with the Igala people doesnt mean tracasseries wouldnt ensue between you. Bayelsa state was excised out of Rivers state, when the Soku Oil wells was ceded to Bayelsa by former president Jonathan didnt it lead to a face off between Amaechi and Jonathan.
Yorubaland in Kogi state does not extend to Ibaji. The Yorubas in Kogi actually what their own separate state(Okun state) away from the Igala's. The Igala's are the one killing you, face them and leave the Yoruba's alone

Arch1:
young man, i am not a tribalist(you can check my post history) but i find it repulsive when you lot denigrate my tribe without an iota of common sense. The Igala's in Kogi state are busy killing your men, raping your women, dening you acceas over Oil exploration and what you lot can do is to blame the Yorubas.

Ibaji belongs to the Igala, the Igala are the one killing your people at Aguleri. Go and Fight them and stop blaming the Yorubas

^^^This is why i reckon Princess Stella is miles better than Osita Chidoka! Instead of him to have used the time he was minister to properly reposition AIIA for growth as an international airport, he was busy blowing grammar and carrying 'one Nigeria' for head like persin wey dey hawk groundnut!

I've noticed most of our political elite from the South East and South South tend to act this way while others use any opportunity they have to grab and locate everything to their region and favour kinsfolk over others! GEJ is another example of the type of elite we produce.....to scared and wanting to act all fair and shi't!

Goodluck to any brother who thinks that under a Buhari presidency AIIA will get the necessary assistance and all it needs to be established and progress as a new international airport!

You are 1000% correct bro.

I wish our business people will graduate and start building world class hotels to attract tourists and not just chalets with rentable rooms called hotels. Grand Hotel Asaba initially started well, then suddenly relapsed into the usual room business focus of our hotel system.

A modern hotel should be a fun place not just simply a room to let and sleep in at night, the way we envisage what a hotel should be in Nigeria. A good hotel alone with world class facilities is enough to attract tourists into Enugu to holiday than all the local festivals, caves,waterfall we are so keen to advertise or market. That does not mean those caves or festivals are not important to develop, but the average regular tourist simply wants a good holiday vacation and not really the anthropology adventure of exploring medieval caves etc.That is why Cape Town SA leads the rest of Africa in attracting tourists, yet it has no festivals or carnivals, but great hotels!

Imagine this picture below is a hotel in a small town of montego bay Jamaica! Notice how they planted coconut trees all over the pool area to give it a tropical paradise feel.
Paradoxically, we Igbos living in the tropical Africa cannot do anything close to the standard of this hotel because we concentrate too much on the chalets/rooms part of the hotel. The hotel this picture was taken cost only $150 million dollars to build the entire place! Most of our shoddy hotels cost twice that price to build. Arthur Eze can build a hotel of this standard and with pool area, coconut trees like in the picture only if he gets the advise from well exposed architects. Such architects in our clime are very scarce in Nigeria.

The effort to distort the Enugu city master plan should be resisted vigorously as the plan to distort Abuja master plan was thwarted.

i have said it that the state government must not only demolish those illegal structures, but open more high brow housing areas such as Independence layout phase 2 and the Emene area for new housing by building access roads and electricity poles. It is not enough to stop people from building in illegal places, if you do not provide new legal estates for them to build.

Gov. Ugwuanyi should build access road to open up the linking of Abakaliki road at Emene to the Nsukka road at ninth mile corner called the Enugu Free trade zone(FTZ) road. If that access road link is built, that will open up a massive new area for property developers to build new estates in that area. they can plan that whole area like this layout posted earlier. That will open a huge area for developers.

I thought someone would raise this issue over the years but none so far. I know it will become an issue sooner than later under Buhari Presidency as people look for the slightest safety concern to deny other regions an Intl. airport. Anyhow, its good to keep our facilities safe and sound.
So, with the Enugu International expected to grow in time. I was just wondering if it is time to relocate these innocent folks living at the tip of the runway for their own safety? Besides, NCAA might cite this as a reason for deeming the airport unsafe, they way they did to Asaba airport, if that village or slum continue to grow with attendant cooking smoke etc coming out from the location which might obscure pilot's visibility just at the point of touch down on runway 26. The state govt. should act proactively and relocate the folks so close to the foot of the runway before NCAA drops the hammer and disrupts operations at the airport for weeks or months over something the govt. could so easily quietly take care of.
