obum042: Just heard on radio nigeria(coal city fm) that the first batch of pilgrims will be air lifted this night via AIIA enugu(on 31 oct 13). ^^^You know what airline they're going to use? |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by obum042: 11:05pm On Oct 31, 2013 |
IGBO-SON: No. They did not mention the name of the airline. |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by kostadinis: 12:11am On Nov 01, 2013 |
obum042: The news is that two AirBus A330---300 have been made available. They belong to a Turkish Aviation Co. Each with a 387 seats capacity will fly in and out of AIIA till the end of the pilgrimage. Not bad for AIIA. |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by henrychubayo: 5:59am On Nov 01, 2013 |
kostadinis: They should have used ET at least to compensate the effort and persistence of this guys. Their effort is gradually gaining momentum for the airport. |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by kostadinis: 10:46am On Nov 01, 2013 |
henrychubayo: I agree with you. ET should have been given a pat on the back. That said, AIIA equally needs the exposure to the wider aviation industry. And there is no better time for it than now. |

I visited the airport 3 days ago, they have plastered the international terminal building, done the roofing skeleton; It remains the windows, doors and painting. They are also doing the landscaping. 1 Like |

ketoprofen: Pix can't upload, larger than 200 kb Ketoprofen, even God wan tell you say,that picture of Enugu airport is not needed right now in the internet. Una have to learn how to control your youthful exuberance and be wise. Sometimes, i ask why Igbos are not politically savvy and wise? Why do you want to broadcast anything about Enugu Intl. airport right now that some people are fighting tooth and nail to frustrate it? I know when the new Kaduna International was being built, which by the way, has a longer runway and taxiway etc than Enugu, nobody knew what stage the construction was at,until it was 90% completed. Thus,those sworn to frustrating the project were denied easy visuals to propel their wicked plot. I don tok my own. The ones wey get ear,make una hear. 2 Likes |

A thread is opened everyother week on NL on Enugu Airport, it's becoming Annoying really! whys is a certain tribe jealous and unnecessarily unstable and insecure when another zone makes progress, should American jews not beat their chest about their progress in the IT/Computing world because of some lunatics in Iran or syria, this brings to more notice how some fools over laboured themselves day and night in a futile effort to bring Emeagwali down and did all they could do to make sure Nogzi Okonjo Iweala does not become the President of the world Bank 1 Like |

Warri _Pikin: I think you have a point. In fact we should start this group on Facebook. Where membership will be strictly Igbo. Many people are unhappy with any form of developmental stride in Igboland. This thread should be effectively abandoned. Or discussions will exclude pictures. 1 Like |

Warri _Pikin: Abeg, the airport project isn't some hidden project in the bush, it is in ENUGU - many people visit Enugu, you can't hide it from the detractors, they already know the progress of work on the project a lot better than we do - it is near the renovated airport terminal. Every major newspaper house has a bureau in Enugu, they know this stuff & they tell their political masters. Please anyone who wants to, should post pictures of that terminal building. If nobody does, I PROMISE to the next time I travel to Enugu. 5 Likes |

Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by Nobody: 12:11am On Nov 04, 2013 |
Abeg oh, posting pics of the airport on this thread won't affect any plans of the 'detractors'. Enugu is a major city in Naija, so such a project can't be hidden. |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by IGBOSON1: 12:13am On Nov 04, 2013 |
We should continue posting pics and discussing positive developments in Enugu in particular and Alaigbo in general! Our detractors and bad-belle specialists can't do more to us in this dispensation than they've been doing since the end of the civil war to the coming of GEJ! It's common knowledge how they took anything worthwhile to their regions, and in turn frustrated any projects/initiatives destined for the South East! Post the pics abeg......anyone who feels a pang of jealousy can go take a leaping dive into the lagoon! |
Re: Enugu, The Pride Of The East. by henrychubayo: 4:52am On Nov 04, 2013 |
I see the points made by our people. Some feel is not good to continue to post pix of the airport. Others feel it doesn't make sense to stop posting. I agree we need to be careful if not for anything, for the fact that out of all d 5 proposed international airports, its only Enugu that work has continued at a high level cause GEJ and Our dear minister are still with us. The guy who has the pix, please post in ur facebook and post the details to us here so dat we can view it from there for those of us who re curious to see. But I agree there is need to be careful with this project. The minister is well hated for opening Enugu route to d international world. I see dat they accuse her of stopping other airline from flying to other places. They will soon accuse her of abandoning other airports to complete d Enugu. We just need to be careful with the pix 5 Likes |

Delightful ENUGU MALL The people of the Coal City of Enugu are having a good time. Hospitality and tourism in the Sullivan Chime governed state have been taken to an unprecedented level since the opening of the Enugu Mall. The city which is largely populated by civil servants was before now used to just street side shops and a sprinkle of medium sized superstores. http://totalmusicreview.com/blog/2013/08/29/delightful-enugu-mall/ 1 Like |

MY ENUGU STORY JULIEN MARTINET Enugu city is home to people of different races and backgrounds; some are just visiting while some have made the Coal City a permanent residence. KNOW ENUGU’s correspondent, Flora Kanu, caught up with one of such people to get his view on Enugu and to share with us some of his experiences in the city. Please tell us a little bit about yourself. I am Julien Martinet, a French national. I am the Deputy Director of Alliance Français right here in Enugu. How long have you been in Enugu? Well, I’ve lived in Enugu for close to two years now. In fact, Enugu is the only city I’ve lived in since I came to work in Nigeria. So, you can call me a “wawa” Frenchman (laughs). So far, what have you got to say about the city? I love the scenery….absolutely love it; the trees, the hills, the streams, everything. Enugu is one of those emerging cities where nature is still very well preserved. Even in the midst of the very modern facilities and lifestyle visible here, you can still feel close to mother earth and it’s something I cherish a lot. The Enugu people are fascinating. I love their hustling nature. It is one of the things I have learnt from them. I also like that the Igbo culture is still vibrant despite the fact that the people hereare open to new ways of living. Wow that’s a lot. So what do you do for fun when you are not working at Alliance Français? I love to skate. I usually skate at the Okpara Square. It’s fun because the roads are smooth and I feel safe. I don’t have to worry about security. It is….uh….on point (laughs). Umm…what else? Yes! I play snooker too. I love to hang out at Choices and Club 125 but I also enjoy the local pubs. They’ve got that authentic Nigerian feel. Generally, I’m an adventurerand I like to discover new things. Have you tried any of our local dishes? What do you think of them? I love Ukwa (smiles). I think that has got to be my favorite. I like the Abacha and the Ogbono soup. The truth is I like the Igbo culture and anything that has to do with it so I really enjoy the local food here. Like I said earlier, I love to try new things. You said you work with Alliance Français. What exactly does this institution do? Alliance Français is acenter that promotes French language and Francophone culture. We also give lessons in German, Spanish, Italian, English and Igbo languages and teach people the cultures associated with these languages. We have centers all over the world. Of course, there is a center right here in Enugu at 40 Neni Street, New Layout. It’s a non-profit organization. We run the center with the help of sponsors and fees charged for language lessons. I love my job because as I teach people my culture, I am also discovering theirs. From everything you’ve just said you seem to love Enugu a lot? Do you have plans of settling down here? Yes I do love Enugu. Unfortunately because of the nature of my job, I will be leaving in about two months. I will miss this city though, I’ve learnt a lot here. Thank you so much for you time Mr. Martinet. It was nice talking to you. It’s been a pleasure. Thank you very much. http://knowmagazine.org/my-enugu-story/ 2 Likes |
