SAM MBAKWE AIRPORT OWERRI (IMO STATE) was built through contributions from IGBO BROTHERS in the earlier 1980s. It is the first AIRPORT IN THE WORLD built by community contribution. Late Sam Mbakwe was the governor of Imo State between 1979 to 1983. Below are some(Not all the lists) of the lists of all those who contributed for the airport project. All the effort was organized and handled by Gov SAM MBAKWE. An Igbo social club, PEOPLES CLUB gave 5 million NAIRA to support the project then as the highest donor. 9 Likes 2 Shares

Of course, it was a good intention with business in mind , how can i contribute money to a place where I can easily transport drugs to the world and some people that my contribution gave jobs see drugs in luggage and say no I can't take it, I contribute through drug trafficking business, so they must honour me even if I have illegal substances in my luggage 15 Likes 1 Share |

Blessed tribe. With good leadership the sky is just within grab. Imagine what would have become of this nation if the federal government has given them half the attention other tribes are enjoying in this country. 16 Likes |

When citizens patriotically and selflessly decide to get involved, with a Good and vibrant head, there is no limit to the success and greatness that will be achieved. You see this Peter obi/ Datti-Ahmed mandate. Watch out for the rebirth of a new Nigeria. The kind that the likes Nnamdi azikiwe, Tafawa balewa, Herbert macaulay, Awolowo and other founding fathers will see an smile from their graves. A new Nigeria is very possible. Its all about we the citizens. Peter obi- Datti-Ahmed all he way. 10 Likes 1 Share |

I have seen my GrandPa's name. Ohh... Was confused. Just remembered that Abia and Imo was together then .... What really happened to the Igbo nation?. How were we able to Produce people like Okezuo , Hope, Orjis etc as Governors of the Great Igbo nation. We must go back to the drawing board and see what really happened. We lost it all from 1999 , we need to check what really happened. When I was younger, when I visit ABA, there was a military governor then that always walk around with bicycle and escorts on motor patrolling ABA, checking schs and the rest and you dare not drop refuse then... Everything happened so fast |

Airport levy at schools was N20, and i participated in this. It was in the Imo state comprising of Abia state, Imo state and parts of Ebonyi state before the criminal British people instructed their fulani slaves to divide us further into more useless states to keep the control of our people within grip. 1 Like |

nazicartel:What went wrong was the meddling or the fulanis and their british masters in our affairs. Firstly, we are not supposd to be sharing a country with the fulanis who are backwards and iliterate and violent and yet wants to be ruling others. They have to engineer artificial poverty, division of our people by states and more loval government to enable their strangle hold of our people and be able to impose the criminals amongst us as our leaders. 1 Like 1 Share |

Stop all these una useless empty chest beatings Tomorrow you will come and be claiming that Anambra airport was the first state owned airport. |

Massiveglory:Thunder fire your nigeria nonsense, Peter Obi and the terrorist Datti. Some of you are really daft. What will people Obi do better with your useless constitution that have been the problem and which the fulanis never wanted to be dropped for a new one? Look towards Biafra and forget that your useless nigeria that has already ended. |

2aces: One of the greatest selfless Igbo leaders. The "Weeping Governor" as he was fondly called. He wept for old Imo people after seeing the marginalization back then. I make bold to say I, as a student, contributed to the Airport Project fund back then. We collected raffle booklets and sold to our uncles and big bros, then remitted the proceed to school authorities in support of the noble airport construction project! God bless De Sam and his evergreen legacies! |

Bialegend:All these Fulani this Fulani that didn't cause our problem in the East. So you're also blaming Fulani when people like Okezuo can't build comon road in his local govt. Or are you blaming Fulani that Hope can't handle his state. Comon. You can't blame Fulani when people in Ebonyi and CRS are Killing themselves because of 2plots of land or you are blaming Fulani when a governor from Enugu can't protect his people from 5 armed fools. Listen. The leaders now are all greedy, self centered and they lack balls. They are all there to steal from their state. They just want their children to base in UK, USA or Canada. They just want to buy the best houses or cars for their families. You can't tell me a governor will buy Mercedes bulletproof brabus or what's it called. That cost almost 600m. What's he doing with it.... I can't tell where we learnt all these lifestyles from to be sincere. |

nazicartel:See my brother, after the civil war, the igbo tribe lost interest in governance in Nigeria and focus their attention to business and business related activities, hence losing the power and ability to hold political criminals of the likes you mentioned accountable for their actions. Same individuals are still in power today. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

paramakina202: Emmanuel iwuanyanwu was the highest donor as a single individual, with 500k. People's club gave 5k as a group. Don't argue it. The evidence is there in the walls of the airport. Though Onwuka Kalu was the first person to donate. 2 Likes |
