" A man falling into dark waters" they say " seeks a momentary footing even on sliding stones!". Personally I do not think, judging by Nigeria's natural tendencies to fraud, that GBP 1,000000000.00 let alone, the "shit" Naira (pardon) my foul language, will be sufficient enough for this project period! LOL.
How big is this airport we're talking about? How long ago did it undergo renovation? What has been the latest state of the art facility installed there? What is the standard of the said airport compared to Cape Town International, or Oliver R Tambo in Johannesburg South Africa? Let us not mock ourselves further by comparing with our counterparts in Japan and Korea. Who are the ones most frequently using the said airport?
You see, My cousin and I have been wondering the number of Eastern and South Eastern Nigerians in diaspora who are forced to touch down at this Muritala Moham mad "RAT HOLE" sorry I mean "TUCK SHOP" before finding their ways through the worst death routes down east and southeast by so called luxirious busses. IN MY OWN OPINION, I HAVE WONDERED WHY NIGERIA CAN NOT MAINTAIN MMAD AIRPORT LET ALONE EXPAND AND UPGRADE IT.
SOLUTION?

LET ALL EASTERNERS AND SOUTH EASTERNERS WHEREVER THEY MAY BE IN THE WORLD, CONTRIBUTE US$1 EACH AND IN 3 MONTHS TIME, THE JAPANESE OR THEIR COUSINS THE CHINESE AND KOREANS, NOT TO MENTION THE ISRAELIS ( NOTED CIVIL ENGINEERS) WILL STAND TWO STATE OF THE ART 22nd CENTURY INTER CONTINENTAL AIRPORTS IN EITHER OWERRI OR UMUAHIA AND ENUGU OR AWKA RESPECTIVELY!!!!!!!! For how long should we continue to go to lagos first, from any part of the world we are coming back from, where we have been forced to go scurry out a living before we can reach our home land? If we can get this done, other things will follow.
Soon Nigeria can go to hell with their oil, as we can do without as usual and still survive as we have done since the infamous, satanic, selfish, diabolic amalgamation of so called Northern and Southern parts of at least six diverse countries in 1914 by Britain's Fredrick sluggard sorry Lugard I mean to say; a cause the British re-enforced between 1967- 1970 in aiding the 'pogrom' to the dismay of other civilized people of this planet; to appease their gluttonous appetite for God deposited crude blood sorry oil I mean to say.
