Excuses excuses, Ibaka deep sea Port idea was completely abandoned simply because they’re a 5% state meanwhile there’s no need to dredge the channel there. Lagos on the other hand is pushing for two more seaports at Lekki and Badagry. It’s a simple fact that anything that’ll develop the SE and SS is being completely avoided by the demonic imbeciles in Aso Rock

Edenx:
NPA has granted full approval for the construction of the lekki deep sea port but giving excuses why the already made ports in the East is hard to manage. Who is fooling who? How long will this dilly dally last?

jamesharryson:
So whose duty is it to secure the waterways? Who secured the ports in Lagos and other cities where the cargoes avoiding eastern part head to?

Some stupid comments some people make some certain times, marvel me, seriously

alezzy13:


Yes oo. There was once a president from that region who presided for almost 5yrs. Why he didn't have enough confidence to erect a fully functional Port of international standard beats me. . .

gaetano:
When the white man sited the ports in Lagos and ph to move slaves how come they didn't experience all these?
If it's insecurity then what exactly are the naval forces doing in the Baracks instead of patrolling the water ways? When it's time to move oil from those same ports to abroad there are no problems but to bring them back refined to the same ports you sight insecurity and rather move everything to Lagos, having us moving back refined oil through tankers. Nigeria i hail thee. Very wicked and useless country. Sabotaging the economy of your fellow countrymen just because you hate them.

ifymadu:
If their was sea access to Maiduguri you would have seen how fast they would have dredged and developed it to make it attractive to shipping lines, then even boko haram would not have been considered a security challenge. They should just own up that necessary attention is not being given because the region has the word "EASTERN".

2016v2017:

please，wake up from your alcoholic infested dream

2016v2017:

what's the work of the government?
is your responsibility to construct or work on the waterways so as to enable the ships to go through them?
Have you become clueless government lawyer or defender?

Area4Area:
I tire o, an Ijaw man for that matter and they didn't cry to him then

Edu3Again:
East is not avoid, they just dont direct ships there.

Yet the east is where 95% of Nigeria's revenue comes from.

No worry, our eye don open.

nabegibeg:



Security, Port access road, Construction of rail roads to port, port infrastructural facilities and dredging of waterways

When you cost it let me know how much and see if your cluelessness will pay for it

Area4Area:
Anytime those militants wants to start their madness, you support them. They kidnap oil workers especially expatriates and that was why most oil companies relocated to Lagos and you are now looking for who to blame.
How many times have you heard that oil workers especially expatriates were kidnapped in Lagos?

jamesharryson:

I just asked a question, which u did not tackle, but you are tackling the sender.

I still repeat my self, whose responsibilities is it to safeguard the waterways? The masses or the NPA and government?

tomdon:




Day dreamer!
You wish

Almaiga:
Eyahhh, this news will pain Biafrans and IPOB well.

Edu3Again:


No worry by the time we cut una off ,ur eye go clear.

Apart from Boko haram & Fulani Herdsmen whatelse do u have?

gaetano:
stop saying trash. It's all political. These ports were fully functional before the Civil War. This is the same thing the fg is doing to the Eastern airports. Ethiopian airlines is been charged higher to operate from the akanu abiam Airport than Lagos and Abuja instead of keeping a flat rate and that has affected the ticket fee in return. Yet again, once it's time for Christmas celebration the fg will once more remember that there's a fault that needs to be resolved on the runway and shots it down so easterners coming from abroad will use other airports. IT'S ALL ECONOMIC SABOTAGE.

Area4Area:
Of course the government but when the people to be protected by the government support the criminals, do you blame the government for not being able to do much?

handsomeyinka:
So is Lagos port secured?

If I hire Antony joshua,he will beat you like this

Area4Area:
Why not blame eastern importers for not using eastern ports, why blaming the NPA as usual? Have you heard at any time that any ship was turned back from going to any eastern port and forced to offload in Lagos?
