Everything is wrong with, why are you crying over a project that does not concern you. The project is ongoing, why not go to the site and say this rubbish and see if you will come out alive. Bastard

Something is seriously wrong with you. Every criticism of the state government means being "anti-Anambra". You always are looking for who to abuse. You need to learn maturity and how to communicate with people since you clearly behave like a child who grew up without manners. GROW UP.

[/s]

This is one reason why your life is miserable today, your thoughts mirrows your condition in life. How does the failure of another state concerns Anambra biko? Does it mean that if other airports in SE fail, that ours in Anambra will join them too.

Stop being a nuisance on this thread. Go and mark it somewhere, Anambra international airport will be NIgeria's busiest airport after Lagos, Abuja and PH.

Stop disturbing us here with your failed life, you cannot dictate anything for us. Take the advise and go fix your miserable life, The airport project is already ongoing, get use to it.

Sometimes I don't understand the herd mentality of people. People should learn to THINK for themselves instead of copying. An Airport is a hub of transportation. Nothing more, nothing less. It makes money from fees and taxes from flights. An airport is profitable the more valuable the flights that depart/arrive at its PORT. Most of Nigeria's airports are white elephants because they are built at huge cost and generate very little revenue. Lets us an example - AsabaAsaba International AirporCost: 32 billion.Passenger Traffic: 200,000 / year.Average Revenue per year (est.): 600m
Operating Profit (est.) per year: < 130The State government has concessioned Asaba airport to private investors in exchange for 100m per year. The investors are not assuming the huge amount of debt sunk into the airport. Instead all they have to do is cover operational costs. But for Delta State government getting 100m per year it will take around 320 years to recover the 32b it sunk into that airport. That is the very definition of white elephant.The only airports in Nigeria that are making serious money are the international airports with TRAFFIC. Lagos Murtala International Airport for example makes at least 15,000 per passenger and 3m international passengers go through it. Its revenue is easily over 45billion naira.However, Enugu International does just 40,000 international passengers and 300,000 domestic passengers so its revenue is proably somewhere around 1.5 billion naira.So given the low volume of flights throughout the South-East (Owerri, Enugu, Asaba), and the small distances between cities, the South-East State Governments really should be working together to promote ONE airport as a regional international aviation hub. Enugu ideally makes a lot of sense because of the existing infrastructure and federal investment. It was symbolic that all 5 state governors turned up when Goodluck pronounced that airport international. Anambra State Government and others should focus on building proper large organized Bus and Truck terminals in cities for inter-state buses in major cities like Onitsha, Nnewi and Awka. This will yield a lot of revenue since most people move by road. For example, assume that around 3m people travel between Anambra and Lagos per year. If you build large bus terminals with bus ticketing offices and places to board buses and charge 7.5% VAT then a typical Lagos ticket of N4,000 will be taxed 300 yielding 1b in VAT on the Lagos-Anambra route. You concession parking, food stands, shops and bus terminals can compete with Air Ports in revenue. The same goes for trucks and trailers and individal-owned buses. The State government loses a lot of revenue to street agents by allowing buses, trucks and trailers to park along the sides of expressways rather than in official parks. They lose revenue by allowing hawkers to operate tax free carrying goods around or selling barrows rather than selling in shops. In organized countries, trailer parks not only yield parking revenue but conveniences, in other countries street vending is licensed and fixed to a particular spot and limited not to constitute nuisance - New York City for example has a few street stands where t-shirts or popcorn or bags are sold but you will see one on a street that pays a tax to the city not 50 roaming around with buckets on their head or dumping trash of fruit or plastic in the gutter.

Thank you brother, it is only one bastard that is here crying for what does not concern him, the airport project is already ongoing,

Armon:
I wonder why people are against construction of an airport in Anambra state, for the sole reason that other sister states close by has an airport.... Indeed that is a morbid thinking....

Well I thank God for my brothers that supports the project, the importance of airport in a state has an all round benefit.

To shock the opposition further, Ebonyi state has equally began construction of theirs which shall be completed in 18 months time, is obvious that is irrelevant for them to consider that their neighbor has an airport..

Even Bayelsa state whose indigenes are not notorious travellers and surrounded by sister states with functional airport was wise enough to have theirs and we are here relenting and pathetic of having an airport that is wholly beneficial to the state.

If ANSG continue listening to these dissents over construction of airport.. Ebonyi will be latest big guy on the block because they have a big, specific and peculiar facilities for their airport while we rot on
sentimental and pathetic indecision.

Nike lake Enugu is dead, it should be converted to a poultry farm

LOL, you are actually in pains..

Yes the MUO has given Anambra the largest poultry farms in the SE. We lead

Asshurbanipal:

Must he sign MOU even when someone wants to build 2x2 kiosk?

[/s]

Obiano has done infrastructures more than all the govs in enugu state since 1999. FACT lol


[s]

Asshurbanipal:

Lol. Obiano should show public infrastructure not people's business

[/s]

Anambra has the highest IGR in the SE and that explains why our budget is the largest in the region.

Lol..you claim to have big IGR but ANAMBRA budget is twice that of Enugu state in 2018 up to 10yrs backwards.

Illiterate do you know that budget is a function of IGR. Enugu govt was just churning out fake figures.

Enugu stadium is dead, matches are taking to Uyo, PH, etc

Enugu state is CURSED lol

I don't quite get your incoherent rants but you know that rangers and enugu stadium generate big revenue. Anambra state government should invest and stop depending on village King Kong while dreaming of tolling federal expressway to increase revenue[/quote][/s]

We are the biggest in the SE and representing. Why not try and best be the best in the SE first. We lead the pack in the entire SE. Kill yaself if that's unbearable for you. Lol

Asshurbanipal:

These people always claim biggest in the SE. makes me think they are not even ambitious. Why desperate to be a SE local champion why others have gone national and international.

[/s]

Dumb villager. TRACAS is actually the best mass transit in the SE. Anambra has grown to a point where private sectors run sports. Ifeanyi Ubah FC and Nnewi FC are some of them.

Enugu state as a low profile state can still do sport sponsoring afterwards they are still putting buses eve xmas to bring their people home, something states like Zamfara does. Shame


[s]

Asshurbanipal:

TRACAS is dead. ANIDS is not a transport company. Nnewi FC is private and a second divisions club. Where is anambra govt owned NPL club??
