Until the people in those areas stop supporting criminality no reasonable and responsible investors will come with their capital to invest in your area.


You can't be destroying the properties of the few investors in your area and expect another investor to consider your area for his investment. How many of your own sons and daughters into importation business is making use of the existing seaports in your area ? What are the reasons why they are running away from the seaports ? The answer is simply because of the destructive activities of your militants and pirates who will rather chase away and frustrate any investor or business on sight .




Gone are the days when government commit their resources on unviable businesses now the government is supporting viable and sustainable investment .


Your fighters should fashion a more reasonable way of agitating for development instead destroying any good things on sight. Most of you are labelling your representatives in the current administration as saboteurs and refused to recognized and make the best use of their current position in government all because your SON who fails to even attract any reasonable development despite been in good governmental positions for good 16years and rose as high as the President for five years plus lost an election.


Until your people start making use of your brains and keep emotions aside the development you crave for will never come.

Really? So the reason why a progressive govt that wants to succeed would ignore better investment opportunities in other parts of the country because the people there don't like him.
Very good. Nigeria's subsequents presidents would not always be supported by everybody. But this politics of winner takes all would never be forgotten.
I am sure it is just beginning. I am hopeful though that the niger-delta would begin to leverage on its strength and decide and remove presidents.

samcolee:
And the will tell the ND keep calm your dev is coming. Sha na only lagos get sea

tobiasbeecher:

You're immumed to abuse but you're the first to abuse people

Ajibel:
I knew with BRF position in the 3 key ministries, Lagos would get lots of favours.

Now Lagos state has or intend to have how many seaports About 4 in total in the next 6 years.

The Lekki deep seaport is already ongoing.

amagunnerfan:
Who in their right mind will want to develop the ND when you merely wake up on the wrong side of the bed and start blowing things up.

You are your own enemy not the country. Call your youths to order, stop drinking ogoro early in the morning and things will take shape.

I am immune to abuses but bring it on if you may.

mfm04622:
I am Yoruba from Ogun State but born in Lagos. Lived most of my life in Lagos too. However, a new seaport should NOT be sited in Lagos! Haba!!! Don't we have other parts of the country that can take the seaport?

FxDuke:


my brother everything must not be in Lag.
this is what is responsible for injustice, millitancy and depravity.

this is why they are calling for secession. they are not adequately accommodated.

moreso, federal presence over there is very minimal and even atrophying as seen in the ports you mentioned. this is crazy mehn.
this is economic warfare!

its just like empowering one region and impoverishing another.

Drguzzykola:

Can't laugh abeg, wen all they know is how to cripple 9ja economy, how Nigeria blessing go take reach there side,
Dem never chi Chun chin

MadamExcellency:
A lot of ignoramuses on this board.

The article clearly stated that the seaport was started by the past administration but was abandoned halfway without giving any reason.

I don't believe the abandoned line of the story because it was a five years project provided the funds are consistently coming as budgeted

ba7man:
As long as you practice the politics of hate and division.

Burning bridges rather than mending fences, the SE won't achieve much in the scheme of things, even actualizing Biafra.

FlamesD:



To the Lagosian, this is a good development so they would say. But to every rational thinker and in the spirit of one Nigeria, this is more reasons why people will continue agitating for true federalism or brake up. A state with two seaports and counting is still given another seaport while the one in Calabar, Oneh and Onitsha is been aboudoned. This is unjustifiable, unfair, wicked and ungodly. This is sharp way telling the southeast and south south that they don't belong to this entity called Nigeria.

naptu2:


1) Apapa Port
2) Tin Can Island Port
3) Lekki Port
4) Badagry Port
5) Ikorodu Port (Lighter Terminal. NPA is working on making it an export port).
6) Ijora Wharf
7) Customs Quay (the original port of Lagos)

danie09:
it's not an excuse it's a plain and simple reasoning . You don't attract investors by deliberately destroying existing facilities in your region in the name of agitation .
When they blow up these investment they are clearly telling the federal government and potential investors they don't need such facilities .

DeLaRue:

Quite right.

You're going round in circles...& I haven't got the time to regurgitate all I know about Lekki Seaport federal govt wahala.


Let's put it this way, the PDP federal govt was not best friend with Lagos State.

amagunnerfan:
You don't believe it was abandoned not a problem, can you provide prove it was not abandoned?

MadamExcellency:


What advantage do you personal have over an average Easterner on the Lagos Seaports?

Presently, the Easterners earning a living and doing business in Lagos Seaport constitute majority.

You need a good job and not laying claims over what you have no personal control or advantage over another.

[size=16pt]My agony is I cannot pinpoint any single thing we gained(south east) with all our support for Jonathan. It is very sad.[/size]

9ja4show:


shey its not the federal account that they will deduct the money from abi

It will favours nigeria not just lagos

CSTR12:
And how has IPOB stopped the FG from exploring oil in abia and imo state? The UN recently gave the SE the most peaceful region in the country after thorough research. It is still on their website.

Achorise:

very soon Lagos will pull out of Nigerian and Yoruba.

aresa:
And the ugu liars still think SWners no get sense with their political strategies and bravery...

agabusta:
Good development. But we need a modern rail line from that Badagry port and that will pass through all the South West states to the North. So that goods can be easily evacuated from this port.

I just wish Ambode will cool down and give Fashola the needed respect. If he does that, Fashola will really help him and make his job easier.
