No reason am....Ebonyi is an Igbo Christian majority State. Don't mind that Islamic Center in Afikpo, it will soon be pulled down. I trust IPOB in that regard. There's no room for Islam in SouthEast.

You should have channeled your truth to Anambra state. Asaba international Airport is few minutes away from Anambra and yet the governor is pumping money to build another Airport neglecting to build roads all around Anambra.

Go to Anambra and you will see that it is an eye sore!

Umahi should fight poverty in Ebonyi state...

You and everybody that likes your comment are really the problem of this country. It shows that liking comments doesn't necessary mean the comment is correct and logical. How else do you expect him to fight poverty? by calling all the indigenes of the state and handing them money on a platter? someone is building solid roads opening up linkages and building airport for investors to come and invest heavily and you are saying he isn't fighting poverty. Trust me if Ebonyi ever get another Governor like Dave Umahi that will rule for another 8 years, I bet you that state will turn to the best state in SE of Nigeria. Please let's learn to criticize objectively because at the end na masses go still bear the brunt and worse of it is Nigeria as a country hardly prosecute any governor wey squander money so anyone that try build let's extol even though we know that is not how it should be.

How does airport benefit the average ebonyi woman selling goods in the market who has been looking for loan to expand her business? The only people benefitting are the ruling class who would fly into the airport with their private jets come election time to campaign, they can't take the roads because of insecurity and the poor state of the roads.
Poor state of road where? U don't know Ebonyi State and how Umahi constructed concrete roads connecting different communities. If you said insecurity, that one is understandable.

He is right. It is a misplaced priority and white elephant project.
If you understand how poor Ebonyi state is then you would know that this project shouldn’t have been a priority. There is an airport in Enugu already.

It is not Anambra airport that is a misplaced priority right?

Is Asaba international Airport not few minutes away from Anambra? Why is the Anambra government waisting money building another Airport

Meanwhile you said Ebonyi state is poor right? Yet it's generating internal generation revenue more than all the states in the south east including imo and anambra.I laugh in Swahili

So who is poorer again...Always check facts before you spill rubbish online.

Either you are a kid or an uneducated adult. Go and research on the GDP per capita of the states in Nigeria and see where Ebonyi state ranks. It is different from revenue generation you slow numbskull.

U are right and she's equally right.

Giving grant, soft loan to SMEs and small business owners to boost their source of livelihood would go a long way to mitigating the suffering of Igbo people in Ebonyi State.

I'm not against him building an airport but the State don't need one at the moment.

From Ebonyi to Enugu is not up to 1hr.

From Ebonyi to Anambra is not up to 2hrs.


Why borrowing fund to build an airport when he can consolidate and harness the huge solid mineral deposits wasting away in the State.

Apart from Salt and limestone, Ebonyi State has tremendous amount of iron ore, bauxite, granite, tin, laterite.


Airport should be the least in the State priority.

And the ruling class are not Ebonyians? You will always have poor people everywhere and that shouldn't stop the state from owning its own airport. Ebonyi people have people who can use it. One thing you don't know is Ogoja or better still Northern Crossriver is closer to Ebonyi State than it is to Calabar the state capital.

Ebonyi is a backward jungle filled with illiterates and poor people. Your governor has no reason to build airport. Anambra needs airport like yesterday.

Poverty level in ebonyi is over 80% while it is less than 14% in Anambra, is that the state you wanna compare to your useless worthless ebonyi state.

Anambra is the America of Ebonyi people,that's why there are more ebonyi people living in Anambra than ebonyi people living in ebonyi state.

As for IGR, Ebonyi is the least in SE, while Anambra is the highest and on top 10 nationally.

Anambra is where millions of ebonyi people go for greener pasture. Anambra has the best road networks at least in igbo land. Fact

Why am I even arguing with you.Anyway let us pray buhari will pity ebonyi and help you guys with fund....
It depends on what you mean by poverty. There's no State that doesn't have it's measures of poor people.

The State is making strives in human capital development. Ebonyi State has thousands of its youths studying outside Nigerian shores on State sponsored scholarships. The state also have achieved greatly in health sector. Infrastrural development is not even to be debated because even the blind can see that.

Yes I agree. How else does government improve human capital development if building facilities that will enable investors to invest and improve HCDI (human capital development index) is not facilitated or put in place? Are you saying he should create employment for all the millions of ebony indigenes? How feasible and sustainable will that be? Don't you know with the latest development more companies and organization will come into Ebonyi which in turn improve human capital. Show me any city with improved HCD (Human capital development) that doesn't have an airport.
