Yes dry port is basically for where there is no close sea port, but my grievance is why non in north east and citing three in three neighboring states of Kano, Kaduna and katsina, all in north west. Why not atleast one in either Bauchi Borno Adamawa, Taraba or Gombe or Yobe afterall four of the state's in the north east are linked by rail.

I think the government should have given reason for neglecting the whole of NE in the dry port project. The zone might be disadvantaged for some reasons not indicated

U dnt knw if there's a plan for those states later do u?

There is a port in Onitsha and in total, there are still more ports in the south than the North.

I don't even know what you people know about your own country.

I so much love your response....

They understand that this is the government trying to curb road usage of containers. Etc

MXrep:

he did not complain about the North, he complained about katsina and i share in that complaint. Sokoto and Maiduguri (b4 BH) are more economically viable than katsina. Most of you have not even been to these places

I was born in borno btw.....now shd we wait till boko leaves b4 we connect wt d north/borno?....and I still wonder why pple tnk katsina is not viable

I have farmed rice in Anambra State and have a very good idea of the landscape, just wanted to know if he has verifiable data to back his claim because I know Mashegu, which is just a local government in Niger State is 9,182 km² While the entire Anambra State is 4,844 km² so am trying to wrap my head around his claim that Anambra produces more rice than the North!

Why Kano, Kaduna and Katsina all northern state getting 3 while south as only 2
Wetin dey Katsina
Why dem no put 1 for Onitsha

That's one Nizooria 4you

they'll suckyou dry

AustineE1:

you must be high on cheap drugs! The last time i checked, Anambra produces more rice than all the states in the North with the exception of Kebbi,Anambra grows high quality vegetables and are some times exported to Europe,not to mention Ebonyi which is in a class of its own in agriculture. Left for Plateau,Benue and Taraba which are largerly agrarian states and are known as the greater middle-beltan states and not core North. You wld agree with me that the North lost it the very time the groundnut pyramids of Kano disappeared.
Katsina can only boast of their cows,which are even fed in the hinterlands of the South.

All of a sudden,you want to tribalise this issue and turn it into a competition. You were already told that anambra has a port and won't need this. But still, you just want to be senseless.

very good. we are getting there

wetin katsina and kaduna dey produce? must everything be based on quota system? where is merit?

Oh! fowl fowl fowl only one state in the east why why why? Oh my people.

you know nothing. What do they produce in ur state or in terms of agricultural produce you can't compete with them on their core competence. answer this simple question. How many beans them produce for your village or state.tribalistic bigots

a port in Onitsha??! I guess u meant USB port!!!

MXrep:

He made genuine points, katsina is not know to produce any agric product in commercial quantity except cows, kaduna and kebbi are leading in North west. both anambra and ebonyi each produce more crops than katsina, the desert is encroaching on that state

I know of a certain kind of beans that people love so much called Katsina. I always thought the beans ia grown in Katsina, have I been wrong all these while?

Thank you GEJ. Another one of your brain child. This is your ongoing project that APC are trying to claim.

APC is trying to complete all GEJ inflated and abandoned projects from Power, to Sea Ports, to Railways, to Roads. Can you mention one project started by Obasanjo which GEJ or Yar'Adua completed? The Ibadan - Ilorin road which was started by Obasanjo about 16 years ago is just about to be completed by Buhari. Even the Lagos - Ibadan expressway which Obasanjo awarded contract for about 16 years ago is also being completed by Buhari. Oh! pardon my memory, the corruption which Obasanjo started was improved upon and completed by GEJ.

it's no surprise you're a GEJ supporter.

FYI it has been on ground since OBJ.

GEJ added nothing to it. Not even the rail project.

I worked for the company in charge of the Ibadan ICD, so I know much about it.

Na Buhari dey Katsina my brother. It was in fact 4 out of 6 that went to the north.
Onitsha where a lot of Nigeria's importers that give the customs service so much revenue got nothing at all.

Why are you displaying your ignorance and bigotry to the whole world. Funtua is at a junction that connects Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi States. So basically speaking, this port will serve the 4 states I mentioned above. Gerrit?

All of you shut up!

How far is katsina from Kano?

Why will there be two dry port in two neighbouring states?

Karsina can link Kano from two corners which are less than 1hr 30mins. Gosh!!! Nepotism everywhere

The one of Abia is built since Obasanjo administration, so I don't know why it should be list among new ones to be constructed or do they want to rehabilitate it?

if this govt is serious it should build new seaports in Azumini in Abia state, Oguta in Imo state and complete the one in Onitsha in order to balance internal revenue generation. Lagos is earning so much which needs to be cut down.

AKMoney1:
Why are guys attacking themselves on this thread na?

The main function of these rail lines is to get cargos across to other parts of the country with no seaports with ease and you are here discussing which states produces more agricultural products. Tribalism has eaten deeply into ours souls in this country, make God help us.

But why Nigeria depend on only Lagos seaport? I can imagine the cost and stress of transporting those goods through Lagos.
If a deep commercial seaport is developed in either Calabar, Uyo, port Harcourt, Yenagoa or Warri wouldn't that have been better and cheaper?
Tribalism will ruin this country if we don't let every part feel among the federation.
