The Proposed 80-Year Concession of Enugu International Airport: A Call for Urgent Action!

The recent announcement by the Tinubu istration to concession the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu for 80 years is deeply troubling and should raise serious concerns among the people of Enugu and the entire Igbo community.

To begin with, Akanu Ibiam International airport, Enugu, is one of only five international airports in Nigeria. Yet, unlike the others, it has been limited to just one international airline, while the remaining four enjoy access to at least three or more. This restriction is both unjust and discriminatory.


Furthermore, the international terminal buildings at the other four airports have long been completed and are fully operational. Enugu’s terminal building, on the other hand, remains unfinished and non-functional, despite starting at the same time with those at the other four airports.

It is worth recalling that two years ago, the federal government announced plans to concession all international airports in Nigeria. However, during the actual execution of this policy, Enugu was suspiciously excluded, while the other four proceeded without delay.

In another instance of clear neglect, the Enugu airport was shut down for over three years to resurface a 3-kilometer runway—a task that typically takes no more than three months in other airports.


Now, the Tinubu government has introduced yet another questionable move: proposing to concession the Enugu airport to an undisclosed international aviation company for an unprecedented 80 years!!! This stands in sharp contrast to the other airports, which were concessioned to reputable international firms for a much more reasonable period of 20 years.

These repeated actions suggest a deliberate strategy to undermine development in the Southeast, using the only international airport in the region as a tool to achieve that aim.


It is important to emphasize that such actions have continued to succeed largely due to the silence and inaction of the people of the region. It is time for political leaders, civil society, and especially the youth from the Southeast to speak out boldly against this latest move.

We must reject this blatant marginalization and insist that the Akanu Ibiam International Airport be treated with the same respect, investment, and fairness as other international airports across the country. The Southeast deserves equitable infrastructure and opportunities, and the airport is a vital part of that future.


Let it be clear: we cannot build a united Nigeria while deliberately stifling one of its regions. We call on the Federal Government to reverse this unjust proposal and ensure that the Southeast is given its rightful place in the nation’s development.

Seriously you need to evaluate your mental health

Most of those people are not from Anambra.
They wish the worst for the state, but they have realized that they cannot stop the march of the state to greatness. So their best gimmick is to try to pitch one Anambra citizen against the other or find a way to slander any performing governor in Anambra. A gimmick that has since failed too. grin grin cheesy

I often hear fraudsters and other shady individuals claiming, "Soludo isn't doing anything except going after native doctors!"

However, the growing evidence proves otherwise—Soludo is committed to transforming Anambra into a destination where people want to arrive, not a place they can’t wait to leave. His actions are focused on attracting tourists and investors while ensuring their safety by cracking down on criminals and their enablers such as dibias and fake prophets. Additionally, he is working to keep the state clean, eliminating the sight of decaying animal carcasses at every street corner, streams, and public squares placed as 'sacrifices" by these dibias and fake prophets.

One major project nearing completion is the Solution Fun City!

This video gave me goosebumps! These people have assimilated so much that they fluently speak the Ibeagwa accent of Igbo language!!!

The destructive and hateful brand of tribalism that has been introduced into Nigerian politics in recent years must be recognized for what it truly is—an intentional effort by modern-day politicians to divide us for their own benefit. This harmful agenda has been used to fuel division and hatred among us, but we must call it out and reject it.


We are one people. Our strength lies in our unity, and we must look beyond tribal and religious differences to build a Nigeria where everyone can thrive. If we stand together, there is no limit to what we can achieve. Let’s put aside the politics of division and embrace the diversity that makes us stronger. Only then will we truly unlock the potential of our great nation.

Had it been i and other discerning individuals had not had the benefit of hindsight and studied Nigerias' chequered and bloodied history, maybe even we would have bought into your anti-Igbo propaganda, conjecture, tall yarns, outright lies and utter bullshit! Things have happened in Nigeria and continue to happen that wouldn't be tolerated in sane and civilised climes where there's working institutions and respect for the rule of law! Fact of the matter is, Nigeria from 1966 has become a criminal enterprise structured and run for the most part by the very worst a hegemonic alliance can throw up, and this cabal is inherently self-serving, ethnocentric, materialistic, murderous and anti-Igbo in nature! I feel this preamble is necessary so naive and uninformed individuals who may want to fall for your disinformation and lies can understand and appreciate the nature of the madness and lawlessness that can arise in a country controlled by such malevolent forces!


You give away your impostor status when you come up with lines like the unfortunate one i just quoted! No Igbo would ever say such a thing given all that has happened and continues to happen in the wider Nigerian setting! And if we did want to comment on any topic concerning a degradation of values we may be facing as a people, it certainly wouldn't be on a forum such as nairaland, where chronic Igbo-hater, who are much worse than we could ever be, lay in wait to make trolling capital out of it! I know you're a shameless, scheming and lying impostor....but this thread is necessary to open the eyes of many naive peeps out there to the danger in falling for your anti-igbo campaign and steady diet of lies and misinformation!

You talk of the Ozubulu massacre! Dude, where did you get your facts from that makes you assert with all confidence that the assailants were Igbo!? Could you share links to reports on the investigation, trial and convictions of said assailants? It could be all this happened and i missed it, so share your 'proof' with the rest of us! At best, i can make a informed guess as to who the murderous assailants are, and as far as i'm concerned, the finger of suspicion points to no other than the Nigerian deep-state or northern/sahelian criminal elements acting independently! Yes, i said it!...The Nigerian deep-state or northern/sahelian criminal vermin acting independently of state involvement! Let me reiterate: there are certain markers and hallmarks of mass killings that can only point to northern/sahelian elements being the culprits! They have form in this kind of criminality and have been at it for decades....since the 50s to be exact! How did you get your 'information' that the assasins were 'targeting the parents of the South-African drug dealing Bishop'!? Did the assailants get his parents in the end!? If not, are you telling me they didn't do their due dilligence to make sure his parents were attending the mass before entering and spraying the whole place with bullets!? Fellow Igbo did this to their own kinsfolk because they wanted to get at Bishops' parents according to you!? I mean...do you read the kind of unbelievable bullshit you come up with before you hit the submit button!? Let me also reiterate....and any true Igbo will agree with me on this: There are lines we Ndigbo will not cross...crime or no crime! We respect and revere the cloth and places of worship, and a bunch of Igbo going into a church to murder innocent worshippers in cold-blood because they're targeting the parents of a rival drug dealer....such a tall yarn is as unbelievable as they come! Let me reask: Did they get his parents in this senseless mass murder!? There is only one set of people that are callous, evil and disrespectful of the church to have done what you're claiming Igbo did! What of the similar attack on the Catholic church in Owo? Igbo drug dealers did that one as well!?

Yet another distasteful comment that helps expose your impostor status all the more!

You are being intentionally misleading in your jaundiced and idiotic analysis and understanding of my arguments! Dude, AT NO POINT DID I SAY THERE ARE NO IGBO CRIMINALS....KIDNAPPERS TO BE SPECIFIC, OPERATING IN THE SOUTH-EAST OR OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA! Anyone can narrate whatever they want, but a nuanced approach should be taken in discussing each case or incident on their own merits! There are kidnappers of both Igbo and other ethnic extractions operating in the south-east AND OTHER SOUTHERN REGIONS AS WELL! Didn't listen to or watch the narration in question, but i think it's pertinent to point out that had the narrator been kidnapped by northern elements operating in the south-east, he may not even have been alive today to recount his ordeal! Like i said earlier, the modus-operandi and level of brazeness and wickedness deployed normally distinguishes kidnappings between kidnappers of Igbo ethnic extraction and those of northern/sahelian extraction! Hope you how the Prelate of the Methodist Church of Nigeria was kidnapped, and the ethnic identity of his kidnappers!? The leader of the gang spoke fluent Igbo and took him and other captives to a pit that smelt strongly of death, where he said the bodies of captives who didn't cooperate were dumped! Hope you also the Ama-Hausa area in Umuahia (or was it Aba....i stand to be corrected) that Governor Otti insisted on taking over and clearing!? Well into the clearing process, a large mass grave was found where bodies of many victims had been dumped! We didn't hear kpim from your lying impostor ass about that one did we!? Probably because you couldn't find a way to connect the mass grave to Ndigbo or IPOB! shocked The way you tell it, and anyone listening to your selective reading of the situation, one would think the high incidence of crimes, specifically kidnapping and mass murder, going on in the entire southern part of Nigeria, is down to criminals of Igbo ethnic extraction and that but for these Igbo criminals the entire southern Nigeria would be a oasis of peace and tranquility! You can't claim not to have read last week where south-west elite, specifically Afenifere, were complaining of the relocation of displaced northern terrorists to their region! You think these vermin are heading to the south-west to sing kumbaya mi Lord...kumbaya with the locals, and you think the south-east would escape a similar fate!? You think there are non of these vermin already in the south-east as we speak...operating and being given protection by their kinsfolk and allies in the Nigerian army, DSS and police!? Hope you know there are elements within the Nigerian security structure who also engage in criminality in the south-east and other southern and middle-belt regions!? Of course you may want to argue to the contrary, but even the likes of Abacha and TY Danjuma have made statements that corroborate my assertion!


This assertion is tangential to my own line of argument, and if anything even s my assertion that these senseless mass murders were not committed by Ndigbo against their own! With the Nazi party, their leader Hitler saw the Germans as one of the Aryan race, superior to all others......THE JEWS ON THE OTHER HAND WERE NOT SEEN AS ONE OF THEM AND WERE AT THE RECEIVING END OF THEIR BRUTALITY! This stands in stark contrast to your own idiotic line of argument that says Igbo, through IPOB, were targeting and killing their own in multiple acts of mass murder and criminality! Dude, try and pick a lane of argument and stick with it for chrissakes!

@Bolded: You're the gift that just keeps on giving! Yet another pointer to the fact you are not Igbo! wink

At what point did i assert that 'IPOB and IPOB thugs are 'justified' in terrorizing their Igbo kinsfolk because of the crimes of the Nigerian army'!? Point out specifically where i made this assertion! Your idiotic analysis has so far chosen to ignore all the crimes your evil Nigerian gov't carried out in the south-east against innocent Igbos', as well as those carried out by their Fulani herdsmen/terrorist/bandit allies! But when IPOB decides to do the job your gov't failed or was incapable of doing, you blame Ndigbo for any fallout of federal gov't dereliction of their duty of care to the Nigerian citizenry! What you would have preferred was for us to act like ethicities in the middle-belt being decimanted and displaced by criminal Fulani/sahelian criminal gangs....you would rather we sat like sitting ducks and take more Nimbo/Uzo-Uwani attacks! Pray tell, the mass murders that have happened in the past, can you point to any of the culprits that have been caught, tried, convicted and sentenced for said crimes!? Now that your useless federal gov't have gone after and disrupted ESN, have these criminal incursions into the south-east by these northern gangs of mass murderers and kidnappers not continued till this day!? Dude, get real!


The above quoted horseshit is one of the most idiotic waffle i've had the misfortune of reading this new year! shocked Dude, you're blaming the fallout for the negligence and incompetence of your eminently worthless federal gov't on those who tried to do something to protect their own! Like i said earlier, you'd probably have preferred IPOB did nothing and watched as these northern criminal elements got more emboldened and overran the entire south-east so we end up like displaced groups in the middle-belt! You wax lyrical about amotekun in the south-west! You do know the useless south-east governors of the time set up a similar vigilante group in the south-east....ebubeagu!? You want Ndigbo in general and IPOB in particular to leave their fate in the hands of your federal army, police and ebubeagu abi! One only needs to look at the continued deterioration in the security situation ALL OVER THE COUNTRY to know that you're either eminently naive or just being idiotic and deceitful! DUDE, WHERE IS YOUR EBUBEAGU TODAY AND WHY DO CRIMES OF KIDNAPPING AND MASS KILLINGS OF INNOCENT IGBO BY NORTHERN CRIMINAL ELEMENTS STILL PERSIST IN THE SOUTH-EAST!? Let me reiterate: I IPOB 100% IN THEIR DECISION TO SET UP ESN! For as long as your useless federal gov't, on whose table the buck stops, is found wanting in their primary obligation and duty of care to all Nigerians, for so long shall ethnicities and groups be justified in doing whatever is necessary to protect their own! What some conniving bastards want is for Ndigbo to do nothing so Alaigbo/south-east will be taken over by these murderous sahelian scum! They may be succeeding in the middle-belt, but they're wasting their time if they feel they can get away with their murderous antics in my region!

Since your ignorant ass pretends not to know the nature of the monumental challenge we face in the south-east, i'll find links to reports and clips to attach...hopefully they'll set you straight!

The sad thing is that the Fulani always wanted to perpetrate all sorts of atrocities, robberies and kidnappings in Igboland. That is why they despised ESN.

The tragedy of it all was that our people became complacent and allowed criminals recruited by the enemies of Ndigbo to infiltrate pro-Biafra agitation to discredit the struggle and prevent it from gaining the of Ndigbo.

Thus, ultimately the Fualni created doubts among our people if ESN deserved our or not, to ensure that their Fulani foot soldiers and criminals will have unchallenged access to our forests for their nefarious agenda against Igboland.

Sadly, in life if you do not pay attention to the schemes of your enemy, you will pay the price for your complacency.

The lesson here is that some Igbo individuals fail to accept that Lagos, Kano or Sokoto is not their hometown, and should exercise greater caution when investing their life's work in unfamiliar lands. Many choose to romanticize Nigeria as they wish it to be rather than confront its harsh realities. Sustainable wealth requires not only hard work but also strategic thinking—understanding the political dynamics and avoiding excessive risks in environments controlled by those who harbor bias against you.

For example, Paul Onwuanibe sold his businesses in safer cities like Nairobi and Cairo to focus entirely on Lagos. If his name were Paul Ogunseyi or Paul Oladele, his decision might align with Nigeria's tribal dynamics. But knowing how deeply tribalism influences decisions in Nigeria, why would someone like Paul ONWUANIBE, an Igbo man, stake everything in a place where those in power harbor prejudice against his ethnic group? This decision reflects a recurring pattern among some Igbo individuals who prioritize profit while ignoring the socio-political realities of the country.

History has shown that many hard-working Igbo people have built substantial investments in places like Lagos, Kano, or Katsina, only to face bitter losses when their presence is no longer tolerated. Despite repeated warnings, some continue to BLINDLY chase opportunities in these regions, dismissing the warning signs until the inevitable happens.

Gbam!

It won't surprise me that some individuals, possibly hired under fake names, may show up here to distort the facts you’ve aptly outlined. If INNOSON had given in to the pressure back in 2013 to relocate to Lagos for access to gas pipelines and lower manufacturing costs, it’s highly likely his operations would have been shut down or his factory demolished under one pretext or another. Profit-seeking must always be weighed against the risk of losing everything. It is called "common-sense"!

Some Igbo people who refuse to heed wisdom will inevitably learn the hard way. This mindset tends to be more prevalent among Igbo individuals born and raised in Lagos, who have never visited their ancestral region. They often convince themselves that the biases and systemic challenges faced by the Igbo don’t apply to them—until they experience it firsthand. And when it happens, the rest of us will once again be here asking, “What happened?”

Truth be told, Tinubu does not need anybody to "win" a second term. He is the President of Nigeria. So he will also "win" the way Buhari won in 2019 and did the same thing in 2023! INEC will write the results, troops will be deployed and aggrieved parties asked to "go to court" shikena!

Tinubu must rule his 8 years like Buhari did! It's not because he is Yoruba, then he cannot rule this country as Fulani man did.


The far north should not even DREAM about removing Tinubu via a coup!
That will be the end of Nigeria and they MUST know this!

Tinubu MUST rule 8 years, then we can decide what Nigeria needs to be. Tinubu has not done anything worse than Buhari's deeds. Yet, the north never conducted any military coup against buhari nor even criticize him for one-second throughout the 8 years he ruined Nigerian economy.

Tinubu should immediately reshuffle the national security architecture and the armed forces' sensitive command officer dominated by just one zone in the country.

My brother, don’t stress too much about the lack of strategic foresight among the Igbo people. While the Igbo are undeniably blessed with industriousness, they often lack the strategic acumen needed to safeguard wealth and ensure its continuity across generations. This has always been our greatest weakness.

This shortcoming didn’t start today. For example, General Ironsi was advised against relying on northerners for his personal security and placing them in sensitive command positions. However, he dismissed the warnings, arguing—like a typical Igbo person overly confident in their reasoning—that since Nzeogwu and others led the first coup, the northerners could not plot coups and would never stage one against him. Tragically, his blind and reckless decisions not only led to his downfall but also ensured that the Igbo would lose access to power, eventually contributing to the civil war.

So, don’t worry about the short-sightedness of some Igbos who fail to grasp the bigger strategic picture. It seems inherent to work hard and succeed temporarily but to fall short in building the long-term prosperity that comes from strategic thinking. It's also exactly the same reason that SE governors cannot come together to build a railway system (Even if it's a light railsystem for transportation and light goods) connecting the major cities and airports in the region to the Onne Port to enhance the economic viability of the entire zone.

Instead, the SE governors oppose eachother and merely think that by just tarring or dualizing a road from one village to the other they will overcome the huge economic disadvantages imposed by Nigeria on the zone by denying them good federal roads, seaports and intl. airport. The gross lack of strategic reasoning among Igbos who cannot see that we MUST work together to achieve the greater future tly is our greatest downfall

I see coconut trees everywhere but I do not see them in around The new projects Soludo is constructing.........we have to be intentional about these sort of things ...! It should not be left to chance and circumstances! The new Statehouse si a total of 35 hectares...yet I have not see a single palm tree nor coconut tree planted anywhere near that vicinity.........yet feet outside the state house is a serious erosion site!

In fact I expected the architects to have incorporated a retention pond or lake within that massive site! So that runoff water from the complex does not do more damage at the erosion site! We need to update our town planners on latest best practices!

I hope they will take tree planting (Especially palm trees or coconut trees) seriously. One huge deficiency we have had in Anambra is the disregard for proper landscaping with flowers and trees. Thus in the end our projects end up looking shabby even when the physical structure is top-notch. Imagine if we adorned the International airport parking lots with massive trees and flowers and did the same to the Awka ICC, by now those trees would have grown to give those projects a truly internal aura.

The good thing is that it appears Soludo or his men truly understand this huge deficiency of lack of trees and proper landscaping with all Anambra projects, thus if you look at the fun city, they have already started landscaping with trees to ensure the desired ambiance of the environment will be achieved with the planting many trees and flowers in the fun city.

I truly ire Governor Soludo's determination to transform Anambra State by doing things the right way. I particularly appreciate how he replaced the traditional practice of painting road curbs dull orange or yellow with the more modern and professional black-and-white design. The state is currently witnessing numerous construction projects, and one thing they all have in common is the emphasis on high quality and professional finishing, which Soludo consistently insists upon.

Whether it’s the construction of roads, the Ekwulobia flyover, the beautification of Awka, or the Solution Fun City project, the recurring theme is excellence and attention to detail. Governor Soludo’s commitment to elevating the standard of infrastructure in Anambra is truly commendable.

I would like to advise the Enugu State Government to consider Embraer 145 (E145) jets as the foundational aircraft for Enugu Air. These jets are renowned for their fuel efficiency and low maintenance costs, making them ideal for a startup airline. With a seating capacity of 50 engers, the E145 strikes the perfect balance between capacity and operational profitability, ensuring flights are less likely to be underbooked.

The success of United Nigeria Airlines can be partly attributed to their strategic decision to enter the market with Embraer 145 jets. These aircraft are well-suited for short to medium-haul routes, allowing airlines to maximize efficiency while keeping costs low. Additionally, the compact size of the E145 makes it easier to access smaller airports, further expanding route options and connectivity.

At this stage, it would be unwise for Enugu Air to invest in larger aircraft like Boeing or Airbus, which are not only significantly more expensive to operate but also require a larger customer base to break even. Starting with the E145 jets will allow Enugu Air to establish itself, build a loyal client base, and grow sustainably before scaling operations to accommodate larger aircraft. This pragmatic approach will set Enugu Air on the path to long-term success.

Dr. Peter Mbah stands out as one of the most progressive and visionary governors in Nigeria today. His determination to transform Enugu into a world-class city is unmatched, setting a high standard for leadership and development. Unlike many Nigerian governors who often make lofty promises without follow-through, Dr. Mbah is quietly achieving results through deliberate and impactful action.

One of his remarkable initiatives is his effort to position Enugu as the true conference capital of Africa—not just through rhetoric, but by establishing high-quality international hotels and state-of-the-art conference centers. Beyond this, he is revitalizing the tourism sector by creating vibrant attractions and recreational hubs that make Enugu an appealing destination for visitors.

To enhance accessibility for both local and international tourists, Dr. Mbah has actively ed the modernization of Akanu Ibiam International Airport, ensuring it meets global standards. He has also gone a step further by launching "Enugu Air," the state’s airline. With the right technical partnerships, this airline could soon serve international routes directly from Enugu, making the state even more accessible to global travelers and boosting its economic potential.


What sets Dr. Mbah apart is his commitment to delivering projects of the highest international quality, a refreshing departure from the substandard, poorly executed projects that have plagued many Nigerian states. His attention to detail and insistence on excellence are reshaping Enugu's infrastructure and laying the foundation for a modern, thriving city.

I am deeply impressed by Dr. Mbah’s vision and relentless drive to midwife the birth of a truly world-class Enugu. His leadership gives hope for a brighter future, and I am excited to see how his transformative efforts continue to unfold. Enugu is indeed on the path to becoming a global city under his stewardship!

Update from the ongoing construction of Awka fun city

I have closely followed Soludo's achievements and can confidently say they are commendable. From the revitalization of Fegge, Okpoko, Awka, and other inner-city roads to his ambitious efforts to equip the state with solid infrastructure, his initiatives are transforming Anambra State. These include linking major cities with dual carriage expressways, the construction of the Anambra Intercontinental Hotel, the establishment of the Anambra railway network, and the g of various MOUs to drive development. Remarkably, he has achieved all this without resorting to borrowing, while also growing the state's GDP—a feat worth applauding.

In the Southeast, leaders like Abia's Alex Otti, Enugu's Peter Mbah, and Anambra's Charles Soludo are standing out for their dedication to reversing the poor conditions they inherited and laying a solid foundation for growth and development. Soludo’s vision and commitment have made Anambra people proud, and we urge him to stay the course. By continuing to deliver good governance, he is well on his way to transforming Anambra into a first-tier state comparable to Lagos and Abuja.

The Nigerian Civil War was between 1967 and 1970 and claimed millions of lives. But speaking at the Plateau Unity Christmas Carols and Praise Festival in Jos, Plateau, Gowon who expressed worry over the state of insecurity, prayed that Nigeria will not experience another civil war.

“All the various crises that we are having in Nigeria are so disturbing. This is something that God knows we should not be having after our Civil War.”

“I have said and I prayed to God that I hope Nigeria will not go through another period of crisis that we went through.”

“Let us pray to God that we are now beginning to see the end of all these crises. Pray to God so that God can touch the hearts of all those who are that way inclined to create problems,” Gowon, who was the guest speaker at the event, said.

“For Nigeria, pray to God, for God to touch their hearts, change them, reform them and make them contribute to peace and well-being of one another, of Nigerians.”

If Nigeria must fight a civil war to disintegrate or negotiate a fair union, then it is very well worth it.

Leaders urging unity in a nation plagued by unaddressed injustices shamefully expose their hypocrisy. Unity, as a principle, thrives on mutual respect, fairness, and the assurance of justice. When leaders fail to speak up against the glaring inequities suffered by their fellow countrymen, their appeals for unity ring hollow. How can unity be achieved in a system where some citizens face systemic oppression, and the cries for fairness are met with silence?

Injustice divides; it fosters resentment and alienation. A leader’s inaction in the face of injustice undermines their credibility and sows seeds of discontent. People begin to question: If those at the helm cannot defend the rights of their people or speak out against wrongdoing, who will? Calls for unity, absent of justice, become a façade for maintaining the status quo.


True unity cannot exist in a vacuum of inequality. Leaders must understand that addressing injustice is not just a moral obligation but a pragmatic solution. When citizens see fairness, equity, and a commitment to their well-being, the allure of disintegration diminishes. Justice unites; it builds trust and fosters a collective sense of belonging.

If leaders truly want a united nation, they must demonstrate courage and integrity by standing against injustice. Only then will their calls for unity carry weight and inspire genuine national cohesion. Without this, unity remains an empty slogan, disconnected from the reality of those they seek to lead.

Our leaders are cursed with the spirit of OPEN GUTTERS. Even in an airport environment?
Chinike nna!!! What is this

The state government should plant grasses to a good length from where the road hits the kerb and then canopy trees should dot the grassed areas at every ten meters or so. This is to prevent the red sand from being blown onto the road by air. This will improve the aesthetics of the airport road environment.

Simple things that a village illiterate should know how to do is what these politicians find Difficult to brainstorm. Tufiakwa!!!
In many developing countries, including Nigeria, open drainage channels work better than closed ones. Drainage channels are like big gutters on the sides of roads. They carry away rainwater to keep roads from flooding. Open drainage channels are left uncovered, so you can see inside, while closed drainage channels are covered up, like pipes.

People on social media sometimes make jokes about open drainage channels, saying they look bad. But they can actually be very helpful! For example, in places like Lagos, when they tried building closed drainage channels a long time ago, they all ended up getting clogged. These channels got blocked because sand, trash, and other things kept piling up in them. Without a way to clean them, water couldn’t flow properly, and it just created more problems. Go to Onitsha-Owerri road at nwa Aziki junction and see how the closed drainage channels built by CCC have been blocked with no way of getting inside to desilt it. The result is that every rainy season, that area collapses due to heavy flood on the roads.

One of the big issues is that many roads in these areas aren’t paved, so sand and dirt from these roads get washed into the drains. Plus, some people still throw trash on the streets, which clogs the drains too. In countries like America, people don’t throw trash on the streets, so closed drainage works better there. But in places where trash and sand can easily get into the drains, open drainage channels make it easier to clean them out and keep water flowing.

In short, open drainage channels help us deal with the trash and dirt that often end up in the drains, so we can keep the water moving and prevent floods more easily!

Even with the killing of Nigerian troops everyday in the north by Boko haram, the troops never take it out on the villagers!
Why are they killing innocent people? Is it because they are ethnic minorities than Boko Haram tribe?
If after killing their people, these people do nothing but come and rant in social media, without

When two northern Fulanis Buhari and Ahmad Lawan were approving all sorts of funding and even $21 billion dollar loans, which of these people ever said anything or did the silly math about how much a street light cost?

Now because we have two southerners, all hell breaks lose because they approved funds that are much lower than what Buhari and his boys approved regularly!

Tinubu should ignore these men and carry on with the business of good governance.

LOL... the north cannot do more than a dead rat. They must indeed be feeling like superman forgetting that Nigeria is no longer under Buhari. grin grin grin

Truth be told, Tinubu does not need anybody to "win" a second term. He is the President of Nigeria. So he will also "win" the way Buhari won in 2019 and did the same thing in 2023! INEC will write the results, troops will be deployed and aggrieved parties asked to "go to court" shikena!

Tinubu must rule his 8 years like Buhari did! It's not because he is Yoruba, then he cannot rule this country as Fulani man did.

The north should not even DREAM about removing Tinubu via a coup!
That will be the end of Nigeria and they MUST know this!

Tinubu MUST rule 8 years, then we can decide what Nigeria needs to be. Tinubu has not done anything worse than Buhari's deeds. Yet, the north never conducted any military coup against buhari nor even criticize him for one-second throughout the 8 years he ruined Nigerian economy.

Tinubu should immediately reshuffle the national security architecture and the armed forces' sensitive command officer dominated by just one zone in the country.
