Mandelaguy: OGA op, there is a newly remodelled Enugu Airport that was recently upgraded to host international flight operations. Right next to it is the main international airport undergoing construction. The foundation was just laid some months back. It's being handled by the Chinese.
That is the main Airport designated as international not the existing one you used.

naijaking1: Is this NUZO or is this Nuzo'
Don't be decieved

Nuzo':
I feel disappointed today...so disappointed that tears rolled down my eyes!

But before I tell you guys the reasons for my disappointment, I will give you a little insight on my candid observation on the Nigerian polity.

Since when I became very active on this forum in early 2007, I've tried as much as I can to be very objective in my views, analysis and assessments regarding issues raised here...especially Nigerian politics, ethnicity and religion.

I've tried to maintain that "objectivity" till date. But I must confess I was shocked the way president Jonathan was treated when his predecessor; pres Yaradua fell sick and eventually died.
Since then, the politics of ethnicity and religion became the order of the day.

Buhari established that line of politics by avoiding south east and south south zones during his presidential campaigns with the exception of Port Harcourt. He also went further to ask that muslim vote muslim while other adherents should do same for their respective brethren. He also enjoys keeping quiet or as some people would say he sympathizes with religious murdering fanatics.

Don't get me wrong, I know this sentimental politics didn't start with Buhari...but its very clear he established it. It was even evident during his era as head of state.

Nuhu Ribadu is not a perfect guy, but he seems to be my best choice among all the line up of all the so-called leaders...including GEJ, Akpabio, Tinubu, Fashola, Chime and Buhari. He beats them any day in my book.
Problem is that Ribadu is not salable to the gullible and corrupt Nigerian populace for obvious reasons. And that makes me pitch my tent to the easier devil to deal with....Goodluck Jonathan!

Recently, there's been so much talk about Ms Oduah; the aviation minister. I feel very indifferent or should I say comfused about her persecution in the media mostly by a section of people and the other section in her defence.
Its an outright disregard for due process, ethics and respect for Nigerians and her office to approve such a huge amount of money for 2 units of bulletproof vehicles. Its a clear case of fraud! Now, they can't even find the receipts for the purchase.

On the other side, they are worried there's NO much talk about the money the Governor of Lagos state spent in purchasing the same unit of vehicle for twice the amount Oduo used. This section even argued that her predecessors; especially Fani Kayode was never harassed even after about 20 billion Naira aviation fund disappeared into thin air.
They went further to argue that she's been hunted for stopping some illegal deals in the industry, refurbishing the airports and upgrading the Enugu airport to international status.

These 2 groups have valid arguments but I think its about time GEJ relieve her of her duty and allow her to be properly prosecuted! She's not as innocent as we think.

Now, as I said in my first statement, I felt so disappointed after using the international airport today. It was a complete mess!

I've been opportune to travel through local and international airports in China, Hong Kong, Qatar, UAE and Australia so I know first hand what its like to have a quality and lasting structure. I'm sure Odua has been to these places and more.

For the fact that most Nigerians are okay with mediocrity or just about average, I won't compare these airports to what I saw in Enugu today, rather I would soft pedal by comparing the Enugu airport to the streets in these countries. Unfortunately, it still doesn't come close.

Enugu international airport has come to stay...but the rehabilitated structure is a sham, a ponzi scheme and a BIG FRAUD!
The quality of materials (interlocking, slabs, chairs, windows, glass and restrooms) and quality of finishing were all shabby, substandard and unprofessional! It will all fall apart in the next 1 year. I give it 6 months without maintainance.

Its clear the opposition are very good in hijacking issues like this and using it for their political gains...but Nigerians must learn to draw the lines. Odua is a big time fraud and must GO!

Igbo women are arguably the most hard working and least corrupt group of Nigerians but Odua is one in a hundred that keeps pulling this group backward.

yelsew80: OP did you use that same airport before the 'sham' rehabilitation?

babyosisi:

Nigerians are good at building edifices but very poor with the finishing
it cuts across the aboard from their mansions to everything else
you see a fabulous looking building and go in, the door fixture and lighting and door edges are rough, crooked, out of alignment.
Glass cuttings and widow shutters are crooked.
Blobs of paint and plaster material at corners

I was home shortly after they opened the local MM2
I was so disappointed with everything
the doors in the toilet couldn't even latch on properly

Nuzo':


Same ol' nuzo.

You are one of the few I respect her sir!

gratieao:
Make we pull down the airport abi?

gratieao:
You Igbo hater wouldn't you sleep?

Nuzo':


Its very doable bro.

Pull it down and put up something that will make us feel like we are actually humans. Something that will stand the test of time. Something neatly done.

yelsew80: OP did you use same airport before the 'sham' rehabilitation?

Nuzo':


I'm very much aware of that. Like I said in my opening post, the international airport has come to stay. And I bless Odua for taking actions on that.

That being said, I'm most disappointed at the quality of work done at the domestic wing....I mean given the amount that was budgeted for it. It insults my sensitivities.

babyosisi:

Nigerians are good at building edifices but very poor with the finishing
it cuts across the board from their mansions to everything else
you see a fabulous looking building and go in, the door fixture and lighting and door edges are rough, crooked, out of alignment.
you have to swing and lift doors to get them to close properly
Glass cuttings and window shutters are crooked.
rough and uneven wood edges

I was home shortly after they opened the local MM2
I was so disappointed with everything
the doors in the toilet couldn't even latch on properly,you are doing a poo poo and extending one hand towards the door incase someone barges in.
you flush the toilet,no water pressure.your ogbunigwe will just be rotating round and round
everything looked so shoddy
