All the states should have airports but the one in PH is serving the international airhub for the SE and SS

Shut up you foool.

Ph airport does not represent us and the multitude of Igbos returning home for Christmas will use the AIIA.

We must project our own region to the international world and not Ph.

AIIA must be known like Heathrow and JFK across the world.

It is economically wrong building what you do not need. Why are we building airports when we have not finished using the ones that are already in existence. The imo and enugu airports in the east today are enough for the number of economic activities we have now. If it increases, then we can open new airports in anambra and ebonyi state.

We have not been having serious discussions here when things are really going south. Ndigbo should be looking at focusing on important areas of our economies and expand strategically. In telecommunications and ICT today, there are boundless opportunities that we should be looking at. With evolving 5G network all over the world, the chinese are calling all their experts in africa to come back learn the technology so as to continue expanding their influence all over africa and eastern asia.

Igbos should stop playing local and hateful politics and focus on the right things that will help us in the future. Even with our high HDI, we do not have the right skillful population to push the agenda of igbos forward but we keep arguing about airports that will still show low patronage in the nearest future with the kind of development we are advertising here.

LasGidiOwner:
Abakaleke idiot who gave you mouth to talk where Igbos are talking? Do you for one minute consider yourself an Igbo? Now let me make it clear to you, you are not Igbo but a 3rd class Igbo from Benue. Get lost lemme discuss this airport issues with Igbos and not an hausaman from Ebonyi state posing as Igbo.

[s][/s]

You do not have Igbo blood flowing through your veins.

OTHERWISE you'd have understood the slogan "nke a bu nke anyi"

I won't dignify you with further response and will advise other Igbos not to fan your embers of disunity in this thread because you're clearly here on antagonistic mission and surely not of Igbo origin.

Since you have decided to be stupid. Everyone should allow you to wallow in your stupidity. What is wrong in having an international airport 1hr 45mins from your house. People living on the island in lagos take more than 2hours to get their homes from Ikeja. But your plan to be stupid really opens your dirty buttocks outside. We try to breed unity amongst our people but people like you will just jump into threads to pour sand into it.

What is economical about anambra that enugu cannot meet and surpass? the recent igr of enugu was even bigger than that from anambra but you make nonsense boast over nothing.

IGR....lolzzzz

No sir. These are all independent federating units. It is no longer a regional system where run things that way. Airports are for economically viable states and nothing more. It is built to support businesses and economy generally. So any state can embark on an airport project as its priority to boost its economy.

Like the ongoing Anambra airport project is hinged on commercial sale of ATK wired via Orient refinery, huge industrial, commercial and agricultural produce. I read recently about Ebonyi starting on. So eventually all the states will have an airport, but what will happen is that some will not be as busy as others.

So let every state continue with their own development trajectory in a way that will suit them.

What could we have done better to avoid the post 2015 challenges we faced?

https://www.nairaland.com/3434857/federal-government-leaves-out-south

We could have seen the ripples before the tsunami came. The major backers of jonathan were leaving him but stood by him because he was one of the descendants of azikiwe. We keep failing in making pragmatic decisions when it comes to the collective future of our people. If we had supported Buhari who had looked for us more than 3-times, we would not have been in this situation.

The bottom line is this, we should have at least shared the votes like the westerners did and have a bargaining chip in our hands but we have been crying and showing the world our red buttocks. I will advise igbos to vote in Buhari because he is going to win the next election. And this time, he will be more ruthless than he is in this first tenure. We need to be more serious about our future than our people getting positions in government.

Just close your mouth. PH is also our own, that is why we have an International airport already put in place there for the SE and SS.

Tell yourself the truth, Ebonyi is supposed to be working on its comparative advantage (agriculture and solid minerals) than working on any airport. Anambra supposed to be working on revamping onitsha, nnewi and awka to be real cities than building an airport. Onitsha needs a better commercial look than what we are seeing now. Onitsha needs to show that it has been there since the early 40's till now. Onitsha is not supposed to still operate with the local market I keep seeing all over the internet. Nnewi should be wearing the look of an industrial city. Industrial estates should be seen everywhere by now. Industrial museum. Technological schools that can help with start-ups.

We keep thinking and acting like local champions and we are not seeing that the world is not even going our direction. We must sit down and redraft the direction we want to go so that our businesses will have the kind of growth we are praying for.

Curlieweed:
Indeed a mighty fire gives birth to cold, timid ashes.

Our ancestors resisted the Great British Empire for decades before we were pacified. Ekumeku in what is today Anioma lasted for 3 decades before they could put it down. In the SE, we resisted for almost 2 decades.

Today, in just 3 years of Apeeshit , my brethren are capitulating. “Let’s not put all our eggs in one basket”. “This NK should shut up before he puts us in trouble.” This is really embarrassing!

If we actually want to develop our land, we need to look inwards. The secret to development is not building roads and bridges. Physical capital of all kinds deteriorate with time. The key thing in development is capacity. If you lack capacity but you got some Chinese to build roads for you then when the roads fail you’re back at the beginning if you don’t have the funds to repair them.

It is just a cargo cult mentality when people believe they can become developed because some foreign contractors are overpaid to put in some inadequate infrastructure in their neighbourhood.



All successful countries developed by acquiring capacity through training, education and health care. When you acquire the required capacity, you can build your own roads, bridges, railways and other infrastructure. You can maintain them. Your productivity improves and you can develop more physical capital. If you combine this capacity with a conducive environment for doing business you’re on your way to becoming a rich society.

There is no other magic formula to development. We should not allow politrickcians to decieve is that we are locking ourselves out of some goodies if some token Igbo person is not representing us on the table. They usually don’t represent us. They represent themselves, their family and close cronies ( who may not even be Igbo). I am shocked that I have to explain all this.

We cannot depend on the FG to develop our land, they can’t even develop anywhere. Even Abuja is ringed with slums. We need to look inwards as our forebears did in the 40s and 50s, pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and walk the talk.

Dalu nu!

Impressive! This is golden.

LasGidiOwner:
Then what is Imo state supposed to be doing? What do you need airport for when you are not an economically viable state? Onitsha on the other hand has rose to become the largest commercial center in West Africa, Nnewi has also grown to be the auto city with some vehicle manufacturing centers, Awka has been growing as the fastest developing city east of the Niger.

Now tell us what your Imo state has been doing to develop Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe to be real cities? What does Imo state actually needs an airport for when the state barely have roads? What does Imo state needs airport for when the state does not have any form of economic presence?

Let us tell ourselves the truth, only Anambra, and maybe Abia to some extent that truly needs an airport in the SE. Anambra with the largest population in the SE needs at least 2 airports(One domestic and one International). Thank goodness that Anambra has since kicked off the construction of its own airport.

Did you read and assimilate that post at all?? Or you are just bent on hyping your state over his? You are not worse than these other clowns that punch keypads with animosity.

I pity you tho!

Angry Bird, calm down with your QWERTY pads nah, haba!!
It won't do you bad, if you think twice and go through your assertion, before you post.

From the guy's views, I didn't see any point that would have necessitated Your angry outburst. You just went overboard with your vituperations, which was uncalled for. For God's sake, what you did wasn't right. However, if you feel that after typing and posting such diatribe will elevate your emotional and sentimental status.. Oh well!!

I pity you, one more time, tho!!

Nnamdi Kanu is the Biafran Darling.

Hate him or love him, Nnamdi Kanu will shut down the entire SE again come election day.

The only thing that i fear is that Buhari might be the handler.

The DSS went away with alot of videos from Kanu house and could be putting out all those video to make it seem as if they are not holding him.

Also his broadcast could be their script to him.

UdechiHD:
No need sharing this speech. We will vote in our numbers whether or not IPOB headquarters like it. For this is the only way to keep our aspirations alive. God forbid we fail to vote! Kanu know that no one but his die hard followers will pay heed to such suicide mission. Not voting will give Buhari the edge and that will still not count in our favour unless an underground negotiation has been agreed. The Igbo nation is voting massively in 2019. Kanu should take that to the bank.

I advice you speak for yourself not all of Igboland. 2019 will surprise #AtikuObi especially Peter Obi. Today at a particular news paper stand at CMS, I could sense the confusion in the discussion of the Igbo guys who were there, the confusion between boycotting the election and voting. Even on popular social media handles like Facebook and Twitter, the #AtikuObi hash tag has been on low key since last week Friday. There is confusion currently and I pray God will guide all Ndigbo in 2019 concerning this election.

Funnicator:


Kanu is a f00l


Us not voting in 2019 will help buhari's re-election and that will increase the length of our sufferings.

Nothing will happen in 2019 when we dont vote.

Kanu won't be in Nigeria to join us in the sufferings that will follow.

His otuocha pretty wife and child enjoy first class standard of living all in the UK.

He wants to come back with hell and stall economic activities in the SE and make our region unviable for investors.

Kanu should be assassinated. Such a miscreant.

He is not smart and lacks the qualities of a true leader.

He is bringing us more deaths , pain and suffering rather than calculative liberation.

Kanu was arrested in 2015 and locked up in Kuje Prison because of what he believed in. Nigerians have been subjected to suffering by this vision less government since 2015 and while you suffered yours in your work place with your family members standing by you, NK suffered his' in Kuje prison. At this time, people like you didn't call him a miscreant and coward because he was suffering with you. Nnamdi Kanu did not force you to support him or Biafra, why then are you throwing insults up and down in this thread? If you want to vote in 2019, you are free to vote, IPOB can't stop you from voting neither can you stop IPOB members from boycotting the election. Keep this thread clean and free from insults from now on and post reasonably.

Exactly.

The two are sons of the north; it's best we lay still. When we discover who the north supports ( since they determine winners because of their multitude numbers and voting strength),we would rally along and give our support in exchange for important projects instead of sinking with the losing ship.

Unfortunately, our people are castigating Umahi and Obiano for sabotaging ndiigbo where as all they are doing is for our own good in case our candidate fails, 2015-2019 sufferings won't be repeated.

I tell you. You're wise.

Did you ask yourself this question: "where is the Onuebonyi moniker"?
That Lasgidiowner moniker is operated by the same person behind the Onuebonyi moniker and other Chino monikers. If you don't stop the argument with him now, he will argue with you till page 400. Chino is good at knocking people off balance psychologically with his posts and it seems he has gotten you.

For those of you plotting to boycott the election.

I hope you all know that the President is backed by the constitution to appoint an overseer of his choice,in any region or state where election failed to hold for one reason or the other.

Would you rather an afonja of his choice be appointed to overseer us just because we boycotted the election?

Boycotting 2019 will spell more doom for us than you all can imagine. It may seem like fantasy now that the world would take us serious. But if they failed to take us serious when we sacrificed 3 million of our people in a war, they may take us serious when we sacrificed 6 million in another war, not a mere election boycott.

U are not an Igbo leader becos u dont even know how to talk to your own people.

Only few of us know how to do that and wen we speak, other Igbo people know they can trust us.

Nnamdi Kanu is a master at talking to the Igbo people and a word from him will shut the South east down in 2019.

Now, how do we proceed?

It is very simple.

The videos from Jerusalem could simply be a video taken from his House by the Nigeria Army.

The Nigeria Army are still holding him and his family and as such wat we hear purported to be from him are mere script handed to him by Buhari.

Buhari should produce Kanu.

Buhari must go.
