Actually there is no need for this airport project at this time. The Imo State airport is just next door. Building a rail line from Imo to Abia makes more sense. That way, anyone that lands at the airport can use the rail and quickly land at Aba. It can also help Imo State people who want to buy from Aba. Aba was built as the commercial nerve center of the old Imo State. All these individualistic projects being built at great costs, hamper the ability of the government to do other more needed projects like schools, housing, big industries etc.

Normal planning issue. Government will renegotiate and hopefully reach a common ground soonest!

When Biafra come with 40 states, I’m sure they will also have 40 airports. Abi?

The same way Umahi built Airport in Ebonyi. The airport now is obsolete, has no economic impact on the state. Crazy governors

If you follow my posts, you will notice that I continue to emphasize illiteracy and high population as fuel for corruption.

Because very few of these people want to take bribes from the government, they are exploiting the illiterates and relying on a large number of poor people to cause havoc. Just imagine. They are complaining about underdevelopment, and their governor wants to build an airport for them. The community with the airport will grow faster, but they did not anticipate this. Why? They are illiterates. They allowed a few people who can manipulate them to inform them that they are losing their jobs. which jobs? the jobs they had already abandoned.

Mehn! Illiteracy is a disease. It is backwardness.

Did you actually read the OP?

yarimo:
Op the people in the picture are looking very poor and everyone in Abia state is either a millionaire or billionaire na 🤣🤣

If we see your picture now, you may be looking very malnourished. Big tummy, anaemic and tiny legs.
How do you expect people whose main job is farming to look?
Chubby or models?
Because of cheap data you come online to expose your stupid!dty.

Asquare84:
The villagers are primitive, they are not even reasoning the fact that the airport will bring developments to the area, rather they are thinking of their subsistence farming that they have been farming for years. This same set of people are they one complaining that Government have not site any developmental project in their domain.

Development like what and what?

CJStarz:
This shows how pivotal the entirety of Ngwa land is to the development of Abia state, yet these guys look down on them.
Let Otti go and set up the airport in his native Arochukwu or any community among d Ogboo people and see if a mosquito will patronize it

Take away Aba, may, Ngwa land from Abia state and see the state crumble economically.

So disappointed knowing an igbo man from Abia state actually thinks this way.

PulaPower:
On whether the community will reverse its decision if the right persons from the community are met by the Abia State government concerning the airport project, Echezolam reiterated that there will be no compromise.

Nah money dem want..

It's not about money.
Govt have grabbed their lands before and failed to develop projects on them. This one now, they didn't discuss with them and just want to start another land grabbing. That airport project won't work. FG wanted to build an airstrip for the Naval base in that local govt and Otti wans to turn the whole thing into a full airport with support from the state govt.
These are the issues. More so, they mustn't cite it in a particular community, they can take it to the next community.

CJStarz:

You don't know Ngwa people.
They are known for their integrity.

Ikpeazu is an Ngwa man

My community in Abia State has a bday land that can take 4 airports. They can relocate the airport there pls.

These ppl don't know the kind of development and rural transformation they are rejecting.

Otti, come visit my village heads to talk about the new site.

Just as Paul Ogwuma
Chief Jaja Wachukwu
Enyinnaya Abaribe... Men of integrity.

Okezie Ikpeazu was severally called to order by Ngwa elders because they stood and still stand for integrity and justice

U don enter Luxurious Bus before?
U don see airport?
U don board plane?

Ok
U don chop?
Talk true make I know how to help you.

Why building a new airport, when there is airport in Imo State,River State Enugu State Calaba, etc.; is that not a misplaced priority? use that money to build more industries that will employ people, that is called productivity. Elex Otti should know better.

Nigeria is just map out land mass with sub-geolocation for whoever graps and rule/control the wealth the way s/he wants. Nothing really is united/organized to be called a normal sovereign country, about Nigeria. Is it neighboring state goverors that won't agree to work together on ordinary inter-state road construction and maintainance, and other minor institutions co-funding, that will facilitate ultramodel projects like inter-state rails?

michlins:
the topic should be if Abia State needs an airport. If I am the president, I will ban all these proliferation of airports by state governments and government existing ones to factories. Nigeria doesn't need more than four airports to be managed by the private sector.

We should rather focus on interstate railway that will benefit everyone and aid businesses.

We keep building things that are not economically viable and we have a very poor economy. Over 70% of Nigerians won't have any use for an airport from birth to death but we keep proliferating them.

A high speed rail will move people from Imo State airport to any part of South East in less than forty five minutes

Government should do the right thing and make citizens happy

He doesn't need to travel out of his community to know you have no contribution to National quota system. As if people from your community travel beyond their farmlands.

Another vanity project. Ebonyi airport is lying in fallow after billions was sunk into it. What is Abia going to do with an airport when Owerri, PH, Uyo, and Calabar airports are all around it? Misplaced priority

no be only integrity. If like i was not born and brought up in Aba i would have believed this nonsense. worst set of people to ever be with.

If Ngwa people were that bad as you guys project them, Aba wouldn't have been that conducive for business and habitation. They are good accomodators. Give that to them.

ABA is what it is, not because of Ngwa people, but because of it's location and value to the British colonial administration, and Abia state is fortunate to benefit from that legacy. It is therefore unfortunate that this should be used as discriminatory bragging rights, instead of further enhancing it's capacity to maximize the potentials in other parts of the state and Nigeria

Air port in Abia state? From Aba to Owerri is not up to 1hr 15 minutes. Otti channel this money to Ariri main market. Better still cite an industry within that Aba region. Air port in Abia state for now is a misplaced priority.

The immediate past governor was an Ngwaman and he did NOTHING for his people....oh sorry - he built one flyover in eight years.

Please start from there and you might see who looked down on you.

Prior to Okezie's assumption of office, U non indigenes, especially the Ogboo people that left their hinterlands to come settle in Aba, have always looked down on Ngwa people who in their open heartedness and kind nature, sold their lands to you guys and also accommodated them, hence they enjoyed the freedom to trade unlike how the Ikwerres are dealing with non indigenes in Port Harcourt.

Okezie Ikpeazu must not have been a perfect person but he did much more than T. A Orji, who did absolutely nothing for Aba , yet you guys never mention him!

Okezie Ikpeazu laid d foundation for a modern day Aba looks. He constructed most of the roads you see in Aba. Whatever this current governor is doing is leveraging on what Okezie had done. Okezie constructed and rehabilitated many hitherto bad roads in Aba.... Osusu road, Ukaegbu road, Omuma road, Brass to Ariaria end, check out the beauty of that Brass junction, Ngwa road, Ariaria shopping malls, etc, yet this government of propaganda would never see the good done by Okezie. He did lots in Umuahia too.

It's on record that he constructed a beautiful flyover, doesn't matter how long it took him but the glaring truth which you would never accept is that, he was the first person to construct one! Show me any constructed by OUK or TA, people you idolize.

His major failure was in areas of non payment of workers salaries. What's the difference now? Are Abia workers very happy now? Are they enjoying the new minimum wage? What about those sacked out of vendetta?

Stop looking down on people so blessed by God. The topography of Ngwa land shows God really loves these guys..... Flat arable land. Most people who migrate to Aba prosper, which doesn't happen in your Igbere, Uzuakoli or Umuahia.

I am not an Ngwa man.
I am core Anambra.
But I say the truth as it is!

U can't curse those who God has blessed

As For Topography and Soil.. Aba Comes first in Nigeria

Black soil n Plane land ... Immediately you leave Aba to all other Eastern Lands to see absolute Nonsense.. All their lands are red,Valleys n useless hills..

In whole East only Aba is 100% best for settlement and the indegins are naturally Civilized .. No Rituals,No Drugs,No Terror etc.. That's why it has highest settlement n Population in whole South..

Something that is bad can't have such huge population.. Is because is very very Favorable..

Igbos have one Character of condemning any good thing just to look superior
