Let me burst your lame self.
Only those that don't understand the maneuverings of Google would pull the stupid stunt you tried to pull.
The picture you posted as your living room is a serviced apartment in Sydney, Australia.
You stole it from this blog: http://sydservicedapartments.net/2012/02/17/a-change-for-the-better-in-sydney-accommodation/

You've been busted. . I'm pretty sure you live somewhere in Iyana Ipaja in one of those run down slums. Maybe not. But that house you posted is not your house even if I choose to believe you truly live in Australia.

For those that care to know, to bust guys like these, simply follow the simple steps:
Right Click on the picture and click "copy Image URL"(Chrome) or "Copy Link Location"(Firefox)
Go to www.images.google.com . In the search bar, you'd see a small camera at the right end of the bar.
Paste the image Url in the bar that opens and click "search by image". It would expose the original source of any picture.

chronique: A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step and little drops of water,makes a mighty ocean. The airport might not be fantastic in aesthetics and facilities but if followed through,can become well developed in no time. It's only fools that would condemn any little sign of development because it's not the standard of what is obtainable in America. At least,before we condemn what we have,let's find out how much it costs the developed nations in building the kind of airports they have,and then look at our budget and see how much was earmarked for capital projects. You don't compare apples with pineapples;you compare apples with apples.

I did a little research on google and found out that the estimated construction cost for the enugu airport is about 2.5 billion euros. How do we compare that to the hong-kong international airport constructed with over 20 billion dollars? The new enugu terminal has a construction cost of 81 million dollars(13.3 billion naira). The jet blue terminal at the jfk int'l airport which was constructed in 2004 costs over 850 million dollars. The london heathrow terminal 5 from conception to construction costs £4 billion british pounds. Yet,people would bring up pictures of these airports and compare with ours and expect same result. Question is; can we afford to spend that amount on our airports now? The jet blue terminal of the jfk airport costs over 10.5 times what was spent on the new int'l terminal at the enugu airport;how can we achieve almost same thing. It would be stupid for anybody to even compare any of our airports with the heathrow airport cos the construction cost alone is something else. People should learn to compare costs before opening mouths to criticize the govt.

Anambra gave birth to all of Igbo land. Are you so dim? Or you are just too young? Enugu and Ebonyi were carved out of Anambra.

I have only one thing for you and it is called facts.

Enugu domestic Airport alone carried 8 times more passengers than the entire 5 states of the south west combined despite the fact that for a good number of months it was under renovation.

The 5 States of the South West combined carried a total of 18000 passengers in the first half(January-June) of 2012. The 5 south west states have 2 airports in Ibadan and Akure and a total population of over 30 million people.

Enugu Domestic Airport carried a total of 150,000 passengers in the first half(January-June) of 2012. This happened despite the fact that within a 300km radius, there are 7 other very active and viable airports in Asaba, Benin, Warri, Port Harcourt, Calabar, Uyo and Owerri that pulled off similar or better figures.


The Airports in the SW recorded passenger traffic similar to those in Yola, Makurdi, Kaduna, Maiduguri and Jos.


The records are there for you to see at THE LINK BELOW

bobosydney: You must be stupid for putting mention name of any tribe of this discussion. I will not insult Igbo people here and i will rather focus on bastard like you. I always pay my land tax to Lagos state Government because i'm a lagosian and I got a house in Lagos . My friend, just shut you mouth up because don't have any sensible things to say .
In addition is my choice to live in Australia and is non of your mutherfucker business.

gbokukueba: Sorry ooh is Anambra part of Enugu? Cos that is the only way i can understand what Peter Obi is doing there abi him no get work

otokx: Just remembered, did not see any picture of any white man in that enugu airport.

collynzo2: You don finish that guy! I always suspected it was a downloaded picture

Symphony007: May God!! My fellow nigerians are celebrating this as an airport? Look at the overcrowded chocked up spaces, no barriers to control crowd, look at the ticketing section, is that not a concret slab? No glass between the passanger and staff, see outdated luggage carrier.

For the love of God, is'nt this facility below, leagues ahead of this airport? It is owned by thailand. A country's GDP we trunce, infact we actually enrich them with rice we import. And guess what this facility is just a bus terminal, i repeat BUS TERMINAL...the one above is INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT......Chei my country, in the midst of plenty, you are now so hungry, rotten bread given to you is course to celebrate.

quoting urself now.hahaha...dem don catch u.. guyyy

bobosydney: THIS IS MY PICTURE EVERYBODY

rman:

Most People in SW migrate to Lagos. This may have a significant effect why the local travel is low. A deeper analysis may reveal a higher percentage of the traffic is even towards Abuja and PH

james_ibor: Where is the picture?
Are you a ghost?

bobosydney: just wait cos i'm still trying to upload but coming back

Tinyemeka: It's your room. You posted the pics few mins ago, so you can't be too far away from that vicinity. Upload another pics of that room with the flower vase directly in front of the TV (it should be switched off. Nothing on the screen) and the throw-rug folded at one end. Thats all.

bobosydney: THAT IS ME AND YOU FREE TO SERACH ME ON GOOGLE

PapaBrowne:

But the population figures negate this assumption. The SW is highly populated. Ibadan is a large city. It should churn out some quality traffic if not to Lagos at least to places like Abuja.

I assumed maybe because Ibadan is not a PDP state so the traffic to Abuja should be low. So I did two things. I checked back the figures for pre ACN years in Ibadan and the figures were even lower than the current one. The second thing I did was to compare Benin(an ACN controlled state) Traffic and found that it had the 4th highest number of passengers more than 10 times the traffic for Ibadan. So I did a deeper analysis.

The reality is that Airport traffic is a measure of disposable income in a city except that airport serves as a hub of some sort mostly by geographical advantage. Truth is Lagos has sucked up all upper level economic activity that would should have existed in places like Ibadan. The reflection of this fact is evident in not only Airport traffic but in all other business segments like banking et al. For instance, despite the fact that Ibadan has a much larger population than say Benin or Onitsha, the number of Banks branches operating in the former is far below the number of banks operating in the later.
I think though that with the growth in Agriculture that the country is currently experiencing coupled with the improved infrastructure many SW states would experience, the is room for very impressive growth in the region that would make those nearly dormant airports useful again.
