Ooni:
Is the last one an airport?

sonature1:
Ebonyi State is one state with sooooo little and their governor keeps delivering mind-blowing infrastructural projects. Give Dave Umahi the kind of money Lagos or Rivers has, he will turn his state to Dubai.

In fact, other state governors in Nigeria should be taking lectures from him about how he achieved all this with so little.

Someone should create a thread of what Dave Umahi did in 8 years so as to blow people's minds here. When it comes to infrastructure, that man is only in competition with himself.

pquaver:


Spot on.. I dont know why our people are chasing shadows.. Even Obiano did wonderfully well.. I will take umahi 1 and Obiano 2 as president of igbo extraction b4 Obi onye wayo.. By the time soludo finishes he wewill know if he wilk push obi further down.

sonature1:


Leadership at the national level transcends building infrastructure. What Peter Obi is proposing is a total overhaul of the Nigerian state (instilling sanity and the rule of law) and expanding our economic frontiers (we call it diversification here).

There's so little the state can do in those areas. We need those more than anything else.

By the way, I noticed that you don't like Peter Obi, so you are likely going to attack him in your rejoinder to this comment. Sorry, bros, I won't react to it.

PROUDIGBO:


You're so spot on! Peter Obi did his best for Anambra state, and if anyone knows the dire socio-economic and security situation he met on ground....not to mention the distraction he was getting from greedy godfathers whose firm grip on the states finances and politics he was trying to prise off, then one would begin to appreciate better just how much he did for the state! If a Peter Obi had governed states like Rivers, Lagos, Akwa-Ibom or Delta in the last 8 to 16 years, those states would be much better developed and governed today!

I don't know who will be using Ebonyi and Ekiti airports. White elephant project for small states who should be looking at doing other things with their revenue.

Enufu airport is not far frkm Abakaliki.
And no one goes to Ekiti via flight, only few people. No airline will want to invest in Ekiti now.

[b]Alex Otti I beg of you give Abians Airport. All the other Eastern states has airport only Abia the cursed state.

All thanks to God who liberated Abia from the criminals. [[color=#990000]/b]

Ndi chest beater, bikonu, zukwanike.


Is Anambra better than Enugu?
Is Anambra better than Oyo?
Is Anambra better than Kaduna?
Is Anambra better than Kano?

PROUDIGBO:


Each state has its strengths and weaknesses! I'm not here to belittle any state or raise one over the other.....my arguments centre around governance!

AwkaFinest:



You claimed if Obi was governor of Rivers, Lagos, Akwa Ibom and Delta, those states would have been better. Then I ask is Anambra better than the other states I listed?
We all know states like Lagos, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Delta, Oyo, Enugu, Kano and Kaduna are far better on average than Anambra when all ramifications of governance and development is considered.

AwkaFinest:


Same thing was said about Akwa Ibom when they were building theirs. Today how far?

Enugu airport is not far from Abakaliki. The moment you land in Enugu, the express way takes you to abakaliki straight to the opposite direction.
And no one goes to Ekiti via flight, only few people. No airline will want to invest in Ekiti now.

The only viable airport here is Anambra. Even at That, For someone like me, if I went to travel to onitsha, with the completion of second Niger bridge, I will prefer to land in Asaba instead of anambra (although it depends on the part of onitsha one is going to), I mostly go to head bridge market and Asaba airport is just the best for me.

Bestmanfornow:

You are wrong, it more close to from Onitsha to Asaba, mind the road is free from traffic

Father0fjesus:
and you map is wrong. That's not how to draw the distance of a place on map, especially if it's by road. You are not flying, you have to calculate distance by road route and not straight lines. If you do that, Asaba airport is close to onitsha by distance on road

SSFeedsNigeria:
SW is indeed a backward region. It's just Lagos that is covering the rot in that region. What they call airports in that region are worse than say some bus station. Even airports in the most remote parts of North are far far better! Look at what they built in Ekiti as airport in 2023, this rubbish won't even be acceptable in South Sudan or Congo but these people think it's okay.

The buses they ride on in their cities, be it ibadan, Abeokuta etc are always small and rickety. Their houses too, normal average people won't want to live there. They're the odd ones in Southern Nigeria.

Omo, you can't buy class, if you have it, you have it. If you don't have it, you don't have it.

Bestmanfornow:

Mind you majority of those upper and middle class live around Onitsha, Trans nkisi, Nkwelle, which is very close to Anambra International Airport, those close to Asaba is just the industrial layout in Onitsha, Nnewi, Awka will prefer Anambra airport than Asaba

PROUDIGBO:


Dude, you're just spoiling for a fight when you're not even understanding the argument! Look at the bigger picture: resources available; security situation met on ground; partisan/political situation confronted with while trying to govern; infrastructure met on ground; etc! Peter Obi had a lot of handicaps and challenges he met on ground when assuming office, yet he still delivered creditably well, especially on HDIs!

PROUDIGBO:


I think the Ekiti airport terminal is a temporay one. Akwa-Ibom still uses a temporary, smaller terminal while waiting for the planned bigger one to be completed.

Bestmanfornow:

Most of them are just ignorance, let compare the revenue allocation and debt, if Obi had place Anambra in serious debt and didn't save money for the state it would have been difficult for Obiano to build those massive projects without borrowing
