superstar1:As for the bolded, I think they left in 1966. I even think they wanted to with the IPOB resurgence. But it seems your people don't want them to leave your region. And by region, I mean Lagos. I don't think there is any SANE Igbo man in any other part of yorubaland. They can't leave Lagos and still remain in one-naijeria na. Dosen't make any sense. |

All these arguments will be irrelevant in 5 yrs. The Federal government approved a bunch of seaports to be built. Seriously the government doesn't care who butters bread. They just want the revenue. 1 Like |

Blue3k: 1. The challenges with the ports in the east are infrastructural challenges including shallow draught for ships larger than a particular size. The federal govt is responsible for ports infrastructure no? 2. Do you have any facts to prove that poor security is responsible for the low usage of ND ports? Why is onne (a privately managed port) not affected by this security you speak of? |

An Onitsha-based businessman and Managing Director, OkayGod Investments Limited, Augustine Okechukwu, said the situation is worrisome and have a huge impact on the cost of production, coupled with the risk of transporting the goods through terrible roads from Lagos to Onitsha. He said: “We all imported through the Port Harcourt ports before, but we decided to change to Lagos as our port of destination because clearing goods from Port Harcourt seaport is very hectic and cumbersome. You cannot get your goods easily from Port Harcourt. I think it is deliberate so as to make people patronise Lagos than other ports On the cost of clearing and transporting the goods between the Lagos and Port Harcourt ports, Okechukwu said: “Cost of transportation from Lagos is high and it is affecting businesses here But we still prefer it because if you import through Port Harcourt, it takes two to three months to clear, meanwhile, it take a few weeks to clear in Lagos |

russellino: 1. The shallow drafts are similar to apapa so that point is null. Onne and tin can the deepest. The federal government can spend a bunch of money to constantly dredge but these points were not intended to be deep seaports. That's why are building deep seaports all over place. 2. What do you mean by low usage? You see 90% of exports go out of eastern ports. Second you can read IMB see piracy reports. Then look up news stories relating to piracy see where they take place. The last bit of proof is scholarly articles. Who said Onne not effected? The last piracy incident happened at Bonny. Pirates are usually targeting oil tankers to kidnap sailors. “The waters off Nigeria remain particularly risky,” said the head of the IMB Pottengal Mukundan, pointing to the waters off the the state of Bayelsa, Bonny Island and Port Harcourt. 3 Likes |

Blue3k: 1. If you do not agree that failure of the federal govt (NPA) to dredge eastern ports and improve infrastructure/management is the reason for low usage of eastern ports then what is your opinion?? Again see the opinion of people who actually use the ports. "An Onitsha-based businessman and Managing Director, OkayGod Investments Limited, Augustine Okechukwu, said the situation is worrisome and have a huge impact on the cost of production, coupled with the risk of transporting the goods through terrible roads from Lagos to Onitsha. He said: “We all imported through the Port Harcourt ports before, but we decided to change to Lagos as our port of destination because clearing goods from Port Harcourt seaport is very hectic and cumbersome. You cannot get your goods easily from Port Harcourt. I think it is deliberate so as to make people patronise Lagos than other ports On the cost of clearing and transporting the goods between the Lagos and Port Harcourt ports, Okechukwu said: “Cost of transportation from Lagos is high and it is affecting businesses here But we still prefer it because if you import through Port Harcourt, it takes two to three months to clear, meanwhile, it take a few weeks to clear in Lagos" If NPA ensured efficiency in Port Harcourt would he still route his cargo through Lagos? 2. Low usage of eastern ports IS the subject matter of the businessday article that inspired this thread. Besides the issue is not oil exports that make up the 90% you are alluding to.Funny enough you were the one that introduced the issue of security as one of the problems of eastern ports. Incidents of piracy have only minimally affected the volume of oil tankers carrying crude oil or liquefied gas from bonny axis. Moreover bonny and onne are different. 1 Like |

russellino: 1. They can drege ports at high cost sure. I'm not going to argue about depths of ports all day. The facts are listed on NPA website. The inefficiency valid concern for Eastern division head to fix. The Should the concessionaires be able to handle that issue. 2. You should read the hyper link I provided. None is effected like I told you. Yes they are able to goods out including oil. The suffer higher cost in insurance premiums and security to protect goods. The article the op posted listed security as issue. I guess your eyes glazed over that. Lol of course you don't want to talk about exports. I also posted tonnage of goods and you see overall eastern ports are faring well. The Liberia-flagged vessel is owned by German shipping firm the Peter Doehle Group. 1 Like |

Blue3k: 1. You keep trying to deflect this discussion to NPA website. You have agreed at least that there are infrastructural issues affecting the Eastern ports that go even beyond dredging. Moreover do you want to tell me that the NPA cannot afford to dredge Port Harcourt? Secondly narrowing the inefficiency to the Eastern division head is mere hair splitting. The federal govt has failed to do ANYTHING about ports besides the ones in Lagos. Yes or no? If no the next question is why 2. I honestly didn't see anywhere security was mentioned in the article. You agreed that security was a reason for low usage or am I wrong. The tonnage you are talking about consists mainly of our biggest exports and imports which are crude oil and petroleum respectively. If not Onne would not even be on the map 1 Like |

russellino: 1. How is using NPA as source deflection. What better authority do you have on Nigeria port operations. Who's job is it to improve operations of eastern ports and make recommendations to NPA MD. Agree on what, cite the rule your talking about hindering ports. The could dredge all ports at high cost. Onne already a deep port comparable to fin can. Port Harcourt similar to apapa. They failed to do what all you keep bringing up is dredging. 2. Security is partly a role I can agree. You second point about crude oil is ridiculous because you already know 90% of Nigeria's exports consist of petroleum. Even the non oil exports in Eastern ports are bigger so the point is null. 2 Likes |
