No one said there is no port but WHAT KIND of port.

Do YOU KNOW how ports are classified?
What is the water depth
What is the capacity of the Warri port
Is it by the sea or on a river
How many containers can it handle daily?
Do you know what happened to the Forcados River
Warri port is a river port but Burutu port is close to the sea. What the warri needs is dredging

They have raw materials in the ground but no technical no how.

Chad has uranium too - are they in good shape?

All of these Sahelian nations have natural resources but very stupid customs which hinder their development.

We do not need such people keeping us anchored to the 19th century.

Kogi state governor just signed a mou to rejuvenate the ajaokuta steel company

And by the way not only northerners can work in the company.. So instead of trying to cut them out.. Lets take what we can too from them as they are taking from us.. Don't forget... Ajaokuta steel company was way preffered by workers during its years of functionality

bro.. Before oil was discovered Lagos was the pearl of nigeria.
. Stop ascribing the growth of Lagos to ND but to the colonial masters who felt Lagos was more comfortable as an administrative location instead of lokoja..
Infact let me ask you something.. When was oil discovered in Nigeria
Nobody is trying to ascribe the growth of Lagos to any region, what annoys me is when people enriched themselves from the proceed of the Niger delta always find a to attack the region at any given opportunity

Most of the oil companies are paying huge revenue to the Lagos state government monthly yet some fools will just wake up and talking rubbish
your hero, son of the soil, gej, was in power for 5years he couldn't do anything about the ports from niger delta, then who are you blaming? the west know how to attract good things to their region, but south south is all about individual greed. hold your leaders responsible for whatever levels of development you experience in your region.

can Lagos afford to even feed the nearby south western States let alone like 30 other states...instead of that foolish malam to appreciate the burdens the Niger delta is carrying he is there spewing rubbish..then let him tell buhari to withdraw the crocodile smile troop na...mumu oligarchs...

Lagos should not be feeding other States, those states should be feeding themselves.
I am a big proponent for restructuring by the way, not disintegrate, I know we will get that right, unfortunately, not under this current president.

Let the Niger Delta withold her oil money to herself for six months all the states including lagos will turn to our slaves.
Why do u think the West, North and other parts of the country be the first to kick against division of the country? Sincerity is what will grow us, please say the truth.

Oga, what you said is completely ridiculous, and it means you may either be too young, or haven't lived in Lagos before.

When Obasanjo was president , he with held the allocations to Lagos for some time, and Lagos did not die, we coped and coped well, so don't say that thing.

On the other hand, hold allocations from Edo, or Enugu state for just two months and you will see crisis.

Even tho I am from across the Niger, I refuse to see things from a sentimental perspective.


Defend your points with facts and not emotions.

The Yorubas have a saying: Ti won ba n din wo alagbafo, se oye ko kan atole? The emir had a point though, but without an iota of doubt the emir's very own people are arguably one of the least productive in Nigeria. So methinks the emir would have more appropriately done the pontification at his backyard first.
As a Nigerian of Igbo descent, it is clear to me that proceeds from Hydrocarbon majorly built the Nigeria that we have today. Even Brigadier Adekunle (black scorpion) later indirectly admitted that the war of 1967 was that for oil. It takes a deluded Nigerian not to admit that oil built the modern day Nigeria (if you are in doubt, tell us what built Abuja - a hitherto primitive Gwari settlement).
Without doubt, the story of post colonial Nigeria is that of OIL and OIL, with the inclusion of everything in between.

Lagos had no oil since conception but during the time of obj . For 2 years they were not given allocation but still didn't owe salaries.. Taxing in Nigeria Is virtually non existent except in Lagos... From stats only from toll gates Lagos makes about 1 billion monthly.. Talk more of others... Accept the truth... Lagos is not dependent on nigeria to function.
. You can call any northern State apart from kano.. But Lagos.. MBA... They are way too advanced
Do u remember the topic of this thread at all? So lagos is more important to Nigeria than the Niger delta who generate almost all our national income.

Kogi state will do what it's been doing - nothing.

That steel company that has been leeching funds and producing nothing will continue to be uncompetitive because Chinese steel is sold for below the cost of production.

And even if Nigeria is to have a viable steel industry surely it makes more sense to host it nearly to the iron ore and coal deposits in the East than in Kogi?

We do not need to 'taking' from anyone. Let each region utilise it's own resources to grow a vibrant, liberal economy.

Instead of waiting on the incompetent FG let us agitate for legislature that will shift the balance of power closer to the common man at state and local government level.

To tell you the truth, I don't any individual heading the federal government what I blame is structure of government they are operating, that same reason why buhari is looking for emergency power to enable him operate free because of too much bureaucracy in the system. And another thing is, Nigeria is like a man with many wife and many children, when 1 side of the family says anything, it will be misinterpreted. I will give you an instant, Lagos state legislators said that oil exploration should be halt for now, it lauded by many as wise decision but if it were from the south it would be said that those people have started again. To end it up I will say that the bulk of blame goes to the leaders of the region because many of them are criminals

I agree with that because of the tendency to silting up but dredging is expensive and is not a one off expense it will need repeating from time to time. Nigeria is a very corrupt place and so we can predict that money for such dredging will always be mismanaged.We are all witnesses to the cynicism that befell our Dream Team in their preparations for the olympics.
Every port operation must be profitable and ideally should be in the private sector. Private sector players would rather invest where they do not have to dredge in places such as Ondo,Akwa Ibom and small parts of Bayelsa but even there there is no infrastructure to move goods in or out of the port. Again all this requires investment and of course security. If the business case for a Niger Delta Port was so obvious investors would troop in just as they are doing with the Eko Atlantic city.
Maybe if Ibori had not stolen all that money,maybe if Akpabio had not built that stadium,maybe if Amaechi had not started the monorail,Maybe the Amnesty money would be better spent on infrastructure,maybe the NDDC could actually do some real developing,maybe.................

Abeg, stop this nonsense, is Lagos the only state that ever be the capital of Lagos? Read your current affairs.
Do some little research, next to lagos in revenue generation are Rivers and Akwa ibom then probably Delta because of oil.

As at 2010 study, Lagos and rivers were the only state that can survive without allocation from federal.

Rivers problem is management

Lagos state developed on the sweat of other state.lagos have been capital or nigeria since colonial days.



tomorrow ir the capital is moved from abuja,to Aba ror instance and you come here to compare edo and abuja it is very insane.

Divisive statement.
Re: Nigeria Needs Lagos More Than Niger Delta – Sanusi by Michel2013: 3:05pm On Sep 06, 2016
see how often the so called nigeria leaders make unguarded statements that fuel agitation in SS/SE the more.
it was buhari statement of share ratio of 97%/ vs 5% that is fuelling the current militancy/agitation in SS/SE.
by the way how did he get the percentage ratio? i thought 100 - 97 = 3 and not 5%

now why can't sanusi make his point without comparing? does him mean that lagos as state is now more important than the whole of niger delta that have been feeding nigeria as a whole?
is he trying to tell us that niger delta has been used and dumped due low crude oil price?
if crude is no longer important at this time why is bubu that call himself nigeria president is now intensifying effort and wasting our money to explore crude oil in the north like tomorrow no dey?
why is northern governors are currently embarking on a useless exploration of useless crude oil in the north now?
i see hypocrisy here and it sucks.

Typical illiterate flattie that think everyone is from Osun. I have never been to Osun all my life, how can a man from Epe be from Osun. Why do you hate your cursed dungeon that you want to die over Lagos.

Why are you not proud of your erosion ravaged cursed land? You are a resident of Lagos and not an Indigene, you insult and hate Lagos yet saying you are bla bla bla. Its only you flattie that run away from your land and want to die over Lagos. Land grabbers that fight over SS today, and Lagos tomorrow yet still want biashit. You are a disgrace to your tribe. Pathetic
