Afonjas don't travel outside Lagos, so what is ogundele doing in calabar and at the eastern port?

Afonjas always reaping from where they did not sow.

that is why they faint at the mention of biafra.

ignorant one. I'm full blooded Yoruba stayed in calabar for two years and that port is close to MM highway around MDS just a few minutes from zone 6 head quarters. stop generalising foolishly. yorubas are not responsible for your monumental failure as an ethnic group and politically

buharisbae:
This good at least let's see the excuse OSU will give for leaving their ravaged land to swest!

beauty without brains makes the poosie suffer the most...an empty head is a burden to the neck..

hopeforcharles:

I pray it starts full operational services, atleast Lagos port will be relieved from some containers and some services.
But will Lagos like it?

Lagos even sent someone to help put d calabar port in order!

shamecurls:
Nigeria is moving in the right direction


In just a matter of time, we will be were we outrightly belong.


Great move by the present administration

Imagine my joy when I read about an increase in incoming ships n cargo inspite of d present economic crunch!

Josmila:


You lack knowledge and your unwillingness to learn is so glaring with your comment after reading. Everything is politics to people like you, reason we're not moving forward.. Concession agreements will be reviewed was what I read, you obviously skipped it to the part you could make innuendos about

LoL this might mean another change might mean stop using the pot or increase usage

LORDOFTHEOSU:


but of course

Have you heard of customs? Do you know the FG controls it and the revenue it generates?

What about Nigerian Ports Authority? Do you know the FG controls it and the revenues it generates?

Do you know NIMASA? Do you know it and its revenues also belong to the FG?

Can you tell me which revenue the Lagos state govt makes from the ports? Then when you're through, you now calculate the pressures and stress exerted on the infrastructure in Lagos and how they compensate

u are the ignorant one here, agreed FG controls these agencies u mentioned, but Lagos State Govt. Gets 13% of the total money FG makes from its territory. So if the revenue FG makes drops, the 13% Lagos state makes also drops.

LORDOFTHEOSU:


And pray, can you tell why Lagos with all its greatness, opportunities and possibilities won't like it?

Three major factors made Lagos great
1.The igbos
2.Population
3.The ports .
If any of these three above is affected in any way Lagos would crumble.

EMMAUGOH:
Which part of Nigeria are u from because I don't get it. When Igbos are bashing Yoroubas you join them in bashing vice versa. Same way when its the Nothern. Let it not be that you are an ethnic LovePeddler have been hearing about.

Lol are you an OSU? so you been noticing abeg stop quoting me this OSU man I don't have time for 5%

Keneking:
Ok

- I thought APC informed Nigerians that only Lagos Port is the only functional port generating income for FG
- Since the last government failed to dredge the Calabar channel, when shall APC commence dredging operations?
- Even the wreckage of a ship “Hope of ECOWAS’’ has been removed. But we were told that PDP-led FG did not invest in that port.

They just rode to power with fat lies. Useless party and their propaganda.

Nonsense

Maybe you didn't read the where the concessionaires complained about under utilization of their capacities and the part where the MD of the port who was appointed September 2015 by President Buhari listed how he solved the problems he inherited from GEJ

hopeforcharles:

Because the revenue it derives from there will reduce drastically, because a lot of the importers are easterns,
Which state will want it's internally generated revenue t
drop.

Hmmm, you are not intelligent at all. You mean chinedu will prefer to import thru calabar and later transport it back to Lagos where the market is because he is from the east.

By the way is calabar in the east and do they speak same languge with the ibos

you keep wishing! Ibos came to lagos because they saw a city that held potential, and why is calabar, port harcourt and all other cities with ports not as big economically as Lagos. And remember Lagos has always being big right from precolonial times. so stop your tribe forward like it is the only one in lagos.

scholes0:
Even if the FG dredges Calabar, double dredges Onne, builds a new port in Akwa Ibom, Brass and Bonny Island...... Igbos will still not leave the West.
Their excuse that the busiest port is in Lagos is just so flimsy. When you see them in such places as Abeokuta and Benin you will have to ask yourself if the seaports are the reason they are also there.
Igbos you can't survive without the rest of Nigeria, you people should just admit it.

This guy Igbos are always a nightmare to you. You go kpeme ooo ontop of Igbo people matter, you want one Nigeria and you don't want the Igbos to live freely in any part of one Nigeria. Your people dont like to travel and explore for opportunities, why always envy those who have the zeal to explore the world.

So after FG finished building Abuja with ND oil money the same way they build lagos for more than 30 years, Gwari people will start to ask Ekiti people why can't they build Ekiti like Abuja. :

so it is no more ibos that develop Lagos,it is now the fg that develop it abi?

When u read all these sentimental comments above me. You will now understand how light and unstable the lattice holding all of us 'together' is.

This entity called Naija has never been and will never be a country, as long as we continue like this.

You people just open your mouths and embarrass yourselves in public. Where does Lagos get 13% you're talking about?

See the link below and see where Fashola was demanding that Lagos gets a share of the revenue it generates for the FG

LAGOS — Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, demanded from the Federal Government part of the revenue generated from ports formations in the state, especially Apapa and Tin Can ports, saying, “the state bears the brunt of the ports activities.”

You're very wrong. Only the number 1 is sustaining Lagos. The day they all decide to leave, Lagos would crumble just like Indonesia is already crumbling from executing them on a daily basis.

Meanwhile, when are you geniuses going to replicate Lagos in your enclave? abi is there a curse on you that mandates you not to develop your own place? If u replicate Lagos in alayeeboe, will you guys die?

Let's agree Lagos will lose some bizness to some state. Do you think this will have a huge effect on Lagos. Am sure many also predicted decline in the growth of Lagos after fct was taken to abuja.

We are not only in the east because you guys are not accommodating. you will find us in ss, north and we have the the largest Nigeria population in US, UK and Canada

Why not? If you had 20 customers and 6 stop coming to buy from you is your income increasing or decreasing?
What ever happens its impact will be felt

Which state in SS are you in, is only few yolobas that are into taxi business are in PH, in Onitsha few of them living there are into sewing business and traditional medicine.Na only UK una dey go, US and Canada have more of Igbos. It is well known that your people don't like to travel, NYSC is what is taken most of SW youth to other part of Nigeria.In SS is it Bayelsa,Delta,Rivers and C.Rivers,Akwa Ibom that you will see Yorubas is large numbers as Hausas and Igbo are seen in large numbers in all state of Nigeria. In most part of SE they have places they call ama Hausa likewise in the north they places they called sabo ngeri for Igbos,which part of Nigeria have a place reserve for Yorubas and if SE is not accommodating why is it that they have hausas in large numbers in SE.

i knew it!!!.....they dont have the capacity-flow.....how do you want to maintain a port without demand for it....??...


the goverment should concentrate on building only streets and rails.....let them build their non-profiting dreams demselves....rubbish...

hopeforcharles:

You haven't heard that there are some businesses that are close to the port who pays the state government taxes? If you say the state government is not earning directly it's earning indirectly.

There is no road to Calabar. How will it work?

Abagworo:


There is no road to Calabar. How will it work?

There is Road, only that erosion have spoiled it, it can still be repaired or new one built

Abagworo:


There is no road to Calabar. How will it work?

What happened to the Ibaka seaport? How can you bypass Oron and all those little islands into the shallow river creek to build a seaport at Calabar? Does that make any sense?

You have been to all the state u mentioned. If I slap u ehn. I can tell u authoritatively that Kaduna and Jos have huge number of yorubas more than Igbo same with UK, us and Canada.
The few you are seeing at Nnewi and Aba are truly tailors mostly but check out banks in Warri PH and see Yoruba full there. Don't forget Medicine, accounting and law is our profession.
