And this is precisely what I mean. It's clear that for many people, the only value in the worthless project is in the ability to brag like playground kids that their state has an airport, irrespective of the strategic value, air traffic and ability to maintain it.

And Anambra is my state. i don't need the permission of internet keyboard warriors to dictate what concerns me or not. If my opinion offends you, kindly jump off the nearest bridge.

nonsobaba:
Lol

Every wawa man is now from anambra state just because we want to finally build our own airport.

I knew that the commencement of the anambra airport project will give your wawa mgbeke skulls sleepless nights as the countdown to the death of your overrated airport in enugu begins.

Igboesika:

Can you stop this pls

nonsobaba:
No, i can't. Nobody can stop the anambra international airport project that will eventually lead to the demise of your overrated airport in enugu. Wawa laziness will no longer be cloaked by anambra's industry. Everyone must answer his father's name.

Consider this, what percentage of people in Georgia to long distance travel on a regular basis? Compare that to the percentage of people in Atlanta or even Georgia that do the same? The way an Anambran flies is to the same as an American, even with that being said, Atlanta as a city has more airports than the (zoo) country of Nigeria

BigIyanga:

See how u tactically avoided GDP comparison between state of Georgia with Anambra. Georgia gdp is about $500bn with 11m people while Anambra has less than $7bn with less than 5m people. Notice that there is only one intl aiport listed in your post. That aiport serves as cargo and passenger hub, but Anambra wants to build only cargo for N800bn when Benue is building one at N38bn...

Schematics:
I wonder why you are so much interested in Anambra airport? You are not even from Anambra.

Now lemme enlighten you bitter element. Anambra is will come with international cargo. It is being built to accomodate refuelling ATK refuelling by Orient petroleum. It is not just an airport but an aerotropolis, if you know what that means. Above all it is a PPP project.

Leave Anambra matter alone and focus on your state for goodness sake.

BigIyanga:

Who made political jobbers like you census official to determine where someone is from. I have listed these facts for for you.

1:The fact that it's a PPP venture
makes it worse cos Anambra is paying $100m=40bn...35% of the state annual budget to build a cargo airport?
Why is Anambra paying $2bn=N800bn when Benue is paying N38bn for a PPP project? 2000% or 20x more for a project?

2: The so-called company has no track record of building and managing airport infrastructure anywhere in the world.

3:Cargo airport is a dumb idea cos MMA handles 90% of cargo movement in Naija, followed by Abj, Kano and PHC. Do you see any cargo airport on that list?

http://nigerianstat.gov.ng/download/391

4:Air freight is very expensive and mostly for time-sensitive shipments. Air freight from China to Lagos is $7/kg, so 1tn =$7k while ocean from China to Lagos for a 20ft container of 20 tn =$7k which is about $0.30/kg. Business people use cost effective method of shipping.

5: $2bn ppp could be used in forming a strategic partnership with a reputable oil drilling/servicing company to drill, produce and refine Anambra oil. This would make state one of the richest states by joining NDDC and having a refinery. Anambra has no comparative advantage ( if u know what it means without google) in aviation.

6:No need to pay your political masters for brokerage, consultancy and advisory fees cos this is the money your and ilk are looking for!

Schematics:
You are a dumb illiterate. Bleep yourself because the project is already ongoing. Go and face your useless state and leave Anambra alone.

BigIyanga:

Cos you are congenitally-demented fron holding an intellectual arguement. You Can neither back up ur claims with facts and figure nor analytical examine all those inflated figures being thrown around by govt stooges and profiteers

I have killled you with facts and you resort to insults. Go play somewhere cos I'm not your match.

Kingsley10000:
obiano is a colossal error...he's looting the state with reckless abandon

Kingsley10000:
One steer reported me to the mods to ban me

Schematics:
Just shut up your smelly mouth. What fact do you have? Are you more informed than 5m Anambrans who crave for this project?

You keep talking gibberish. We have said it here that it is a PPP project but you are still sounding like a broken record as if Anambra is the financier.

Leave our matter alone and go face your own state. Your state is owing common salary but you are here drinking Panadol on our matter. Tufiaaass

Blocked encephalon like you can never get because it's above your intellectual grade. Cargo airport is not "pure water" that everybody wants.
Folks like you and family have neither traveled internatinally nor domestically, of what use is a cargo airport to political peasants like you?

Schematics:
Fool did it pain you..hehehehe

What's your business if cargo airport is not pure water? Are you cursed in life to drop your own burden to carry another person's burden? Are you so cursed?

Poor frustrated animal, you are intimidated about the airport because you knew that you and your hopeless parents do not have the hope of visiting an airport in their life time. Everyone is not impoverished and pauperised like your useless family. Get a life for once.

Kingsley1000:
After spending 4years despite the promise made during
his campaign to build Cargo airport ,he didn't talk
anything about it again until now his tenure is ending, he
now flagged off the project to campaign for second
tenure which after will abandoned as Jonathan did
second Niger bridge. If obiana means to build the airport
really and complete it within his tenure, he would have
flagged off its construction earlier than now he is
campaigning for second tenure.





Anambara DOES NOT need an airport at this particular
point on time..this is purely a misplaced priority! We
have three airports less than 150 kilometer radius at
Asaba, Enugu and Imo.
What is needed most is a trans-southeast railway that
terminates at Onne Portharcourt.. A railway connecting
Onitcha, Nnewi, Enugu, Owerri and Aba, terminating at
Onne!
Here,we force the government to open up Onne port and
invariablely our inland water ways...2 Billion dollars will
go a very long way in the construction of such project..
I see this as a well calculated move in the political
chessboard with the state election just few months
away...Obiano should stop playing cheap politics!






LOCATION : Wrongly located project thats bound to fail.
Anambra state have lands reserved since 1970s at Oba
for its airport. It is close to Onitsha township and the
millionaires zones of Nnewi ,Owka etiti,Amichi,Ob
a,ichi,Obosi,Ojoto Orifite,Osumenyi only for willy to site
his pet project in the middle of nowhere.



Lastly,let me exercise little optimism..... I reserve my comments, until the proposed project is
reliazied, can't fall for all these "POLITICAL GIMMICKS
", again. .Ndi Anambra shine your eyes. ...

Ofodirinwa:


flight isn't about GDP. Atlanta has a lower GDP than Houston Texas but more flight traffic. In fact, it's the world's busiest airport, and by your logic that would mean Georgia has the world's highest GDP.

Airports aren't businesses. They're a place to launch and land planes. You can have as many as you'd like. The only reason nigerian airports aren't 'viable' is because people steal the maintenance money, not because there's too many airports.

Sunnynwa:


The Anambra project is an aerotropolis and not just the airport.

BigIyanga:

Yes, it's about business and GDP. Houston has two airports and ATL has one with Delta as its biggest tenant and runs the world's largest airline out of ATL.
What makes you think that this cargo airport is going to be viable? Asaba with combined patronage from Anambra and Delta is dying...

BigIyanga:

Naija and fancy words! Show me where one has been built in Naija before. How and you use $2bn build a cargo airport when the state gdp is about $7bn?

This company has no record of building and managing airport infracture in the world, so can they do it without exprience??

hammerF:



Obiano based his decision on proximity to the Oil and gas industry located in Aguleri.

I cannot fault him on that but ur arguement also carries the merit that Oba is central to all the different parts of Anambra.

Secondly, i hope u undertstand this project is not just about Cargo airport but the industrialisation of Anambra?

We have to start frome somewhere, and anywhere is better than none or nowhere.

Ofodirinwa:


How can an airport die? Think about what you're saying. Have you seen a bus station die?
An airport is a place to land planes, not a business. If it's being mismanaged that's different but it's a strip of land for landing planes and the will and facilities to coordinate their landing and taking off. You're overthinking something incredibly simple.

Also, why would I land in Asaba when I live in Anambra? Zoo mentality. An airport is a place to land planes. What if you were on a bus to Anambra from Lagos and they finish at Asaba because Anambra is not viable?


Also, there are four airports in Houston and more in surrounding areas (Greater Houston), there are over twelve in Atlanta.

BigIyanga:

Petroleum produced are shipped with vessel via ocean.. NNPC,IOCs and LNG are use ships for moving products.
pls stop making excuses for wayo or incompetence.
$2bn could have been better spent on making Anambra an oil producing state.. Our leaders are too shortsighted
