Sorry theblessed, not sure you follow the thread from the begginning. The new airport is to be built by Lagos state goverment. Lagos state cannot do anything about MMA because MMA belong to the federal govt. And Lagos state is not asking the federal govt to contribute to the new airport, as someone said eairlier, it is Lagos state public-private innitiative project.

Thanks for clarifying things, instead of abusing just like the previous guy did - thinking abuse will deter me.  No, it won't! I am not the kind anyone can prevent airing her views here. No matter what they do or say, I will challenge it, period!! Just have a look at my signature once more, you will know what I mean. So, when dealing with me, they should not call up that their primitive Nigerian intimidating behaviour because, it would no wash with me!

Secondly, in responding to your calm and responsible views, I raise my hat up for the governor if what you'd just said is how it is but knowing Nigerian, there's always something behind something. I still believe that modernisation/maintaining what we have is a good idea.  Instead of a new Airport, that money could be spent on our hospitals, housing, transports etc than dumping the whole lot on one project that mainly serve the interest of the rich.  Obviously, poor people can not afford to fly out and poor people are the masses and it's them that suffers most, isn't it Why not meet their needs first afterall, the old Airport is still usable and people are still flying out of it right now as I write, no one has died flying in or out of it. That, I find too wrong to handle!

Lagos don’t need an airport, u still have one flight and hour at MM at the moment, there is a flight out of Heathrow every 5 minutes. MM is way below capacity. Lagos State should not waste its land building Airports when the one on ground is still under utilised.

The last time I came to Nigeria, there were only 3 flights between 11:00pm and 5:00am from MM airport and we want to build another airport, what for.  [b][/b]

Hey @jingoma  Nigeria is about twice the size of California and not the size of Texas, pls do not
post what you are not sure of again

Government of the elites,by the elites and for the elites. I think I should hear him talk about, PSP for the Educational sector,Health Sector, Infrastructures (its only the flowers that are drinking water) Those Fashola Loyalist don't know how much Lagos state is making compare to his "lets shout" projects. (Clearance of oshodi has been the major achievement) Decay in the Educational sector can be stopped,water can be provided in this Aqua State. We are not asking for too much,let there be Vocational centers for the less privilege ,let celebrate the 900 days or what next with smiles on the faces of less privileges. affordable housing can be achieved.

I don't have enough information to make an informed judgement on this issue, The question is why do we need a new international Airport in Lagos??

There is no need to build another airport. People hardly visit Nigeria except Nigerians that live in abroad. Nigeria has close to 170 million and Lagos airport, it hardly have 4 million a year. What is it the point of new airport when foreign plane hardly come to Nigeria or they come and they do not stay more than 3 or 4 hours and just one plane from other country is pathetic. Use that money to develop a better living for those that live the country. New airport will not give food to common man, children and woman on the street food.

We need the airport, simples

@Theblessed, can you please be a blessing to me by reducing your font size and colour, i would still be able to get your views on the proposed airport
