I know when they quipped that "SURUGEDE is the dance of the Spirit " ,the likes of COS think that it's Ogu Nne na agbalu Nwa, but the sound truth is that he refused to understand that "Mmiri riri Enyi ka Mbe na awa Ogodo, jua ya, oga awu awu, ka obu Ofufe ?"(The Sea that drown an Elephant is what a Tortoise is tying his Loin cloth at the bank, ask him ,is he going to jump across or fly across?) .
As we are about to start plerims of the second Tenure, and as we need to establish the hurdles and defines the Deeds of the Government.. So today we will like to have a Time travel....
We are about to take off from our ANAMBARA STATE AIRPORT located at UMUERI, a brother Town of AGULERI .
In 2016,The State sent a delegation of over 30 People that has nothing to add or contribute toward the Airport ,led by the SSG PROF. CHUKWULOBE, they toured Guangzhou and Beijing as if they were shopping for T shirt and not for a highly Technical setting like AIRPORT.
This I can say is waste of Fund and Journey,there is no use sending SSG who had no Technical knowledge about Aviation with also group of people who know nothing about Airport to go and negotiate for us on an Airport project.
PETER maybe AKA GUM but he always dot his i and cross his T when it comes to Public funds... He cannot send delegation for such, they won't be more than 3 Experts that he will send , each will be Expert on RUN WAY Fabrication, another AIRPLANE Matters, and last Airport structure.
Well after the State Delegation went to China Jamboree and came back, we also sponsored Chinese Gardner's who came posing as Investors on October 2017 ,the state was agog as the Government promised to start and finish the AIRPORT in less than 1 Year, so we watched as Ground breaking were televised LIVE as usual on Channels TV, atimes I wonder why we cunningly investing on Channels TV because no Month we don't employ them to run a Live Show for us and each cost us above 30 Million, a sum that would've gone far in making our own ABS to be Digital and International.
The State also refuse to patronise even MINAJ or any IGBO owned station, but I digress..
The ANAMBARA AIRPORT is suppose to be partnership project including SINO KING HONG KONG, ELITE GROUP , ORIENT PETROLEUM, OSIKE SYNERGY LTD, EMSWORTH OIL AND GAS but unfortunately the Labyrinthal mouse trap called investment attraction is a Fluke .
The Government told us that the AIRPORT will Cost 2Billion UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN DOLLARS, just do the Maths and see how many Trillion Naira they said it will cost.
The project was awarded as BUILT OPERATE MANAGE and TRANSFER (BOMT), which will be loacted at 1,500 HECTARES OF LAND belonging to UMUERI,which I suspect was a ruse to reduce the Land Mass of UMUERI, so they won't be at Par with the neighbors..
Now my worries is , last week I wanted to have an Early Morning Flight to Abuja, so I headed to our own ANAMBRA AIRPORT only to discover that the only thing that takes off from there are Birds and Nchi with Mgbada racing unhindered , infact the Ground has not been cleared of the Bush and Thick and menacing Forest , not even one piece of Block is on sight and to crown it all, only the Sign Board measuring about 4 Story building that is on sight with Painted Flight landed on the Bill Board , though we have a Paved Express that led to the Bush which is a waste of Fund as it serves no purpose for now as the project is yet to see light of the day and when it will be remembered , the roads must be so weak and old because of lack off Use over time. .. Then it will cost a fortune to excavate and start afresh , making me to remember why my old man called "Penny Wise, Pound Foolish ".
As we talk about ANAMBARA AIRPORT,we should remember that Originally it was supposed to be sighted at OBA during the Era of Mbadinuju , but Legends has it that LUXURIOUS BUS OWNERS conspired to stop it to avoid ime ha Njo ahia, but that's a fat,flat lie and Urban Legend..
The truth was that the Topology of OBA is so bad that Airport can't stand on it.
First it is Erosion prone and if we build Airport on it, if planes lands on it within months it will crack, quake and sink, so it was abolished because it was a wrong soil and also Airports should be located out of Town.
When ORACLE wanted to start this present one at UMUERI, he calculated the cost and discovered that the Income from such Airport if it enjoys maximum patronage, it will take about 80 Years to cover the cost....
Just deduct the fact that under Oracle it would've cost couple of Billions and it was calculated to be recouped in 80 Years, so with this, we will be targeting 800 Years.
Little wonder the Oracle said and I tag it ,GLOBAL AUTHENTIC QUOTE OF THE DECADE
"I WANT TO BE AN ORDINARY PERSON IN A GREAT NIGERIA, THAN A GREAT MAN IN A FAILED COUNTRY ".
Have a great Sunday as I move with my Ekpere na Abu and one Giant King James Version of the Bible na eje Nso Nso ka Holy Nweje, let me stop for I am in Holy Mode..
MAZI ODERA POg targeting Holy Communion and no no to shake the table, so that the Sinners in the state will fall down.
