engers stranded
Women from the Ipo community have blocked the entrance to the Port Harcourt airport.

As early as 7:30 am on Tuesday morning, the women from Ipo which is one of the host communities of the airport, blocked the gate at the airport roundabout, waving placards, singing, wailing, and even cooking at the gate.

Some of the inscriptions on their banner include ‘We Demand Our Citizens Rights’, ‘Ipo Women Peaceful Protest’, among others.

Channels Television gathered that the aggrieved women were trying to get government’s attention to their lack of electricity, good roads, and poor schools despite their community playing host to the airport.

As of the time of filing this report, their actions had caused a buildup of traffic as engers could not access the airport.

This is the second time this year that the women are protesting.

It would be recalled that they protested on the 27th of March this year, but were pacified by the former Chairman of the Rivers Traditional Rulers Council, Sergeant Awuse.

So because Dem put airport for your corner, government must build school as part of CSR or what?
Electricity and education are under concurrent list. Hold your governors responsible as well . Go to the government house to protest.

This is why Lagos will always be successful, some tribes when God put small power - little success in their palms they immediately begin to meditate deeply on how they can oppress others with it...

If the government had build that airport somewhere else they would cry marginalization.

This thing called revolution should just start in this country perhaps so many things will be reset in this country.

Some less than 100,000 people cannot put over 200,000,000 people on a standstill through hunger and infrastructural failures.

The number to offset this evil government is with the people but 'I no want die' syndrome is dragging us to our early grave.

Revolution now!

This is obviously a sponsored protest.
How come they are now embarking on the protest now that Sgt. Awuse has been removed as the chairman of Rivers State Traditional Rulers Council?..
Some forces are behind this.

What are the benefits of being a Nigerian?

What you call government is an illusion, it doesn't exist, it's a corporation created to enslave the people.

It's well.

You are a fool Justina...

How many noise do you hear, and how does it affect electricity and education? This is the reason you guys are underdeveloped.

Is PH the only place with airport in Nigeria, why can't other places with airports come out to protest as well.

Ignorant fool, playing politics with your sense.
