Why we await the 2 first class economists, former super bankers and now super governors of Anambra and Abia state on the way forward to the building of ports in Niger River and opobo River and openingup the eastern maritime economy, below is the comparison of River ports of the world to Lagos ports.

Several river ports around the world handle significant amounts of cargo far more than some deep sea ports like the Apapa port in lagos and are considered among the busiest. Here are a few examples:

Port of Shanghai (China): The Port of Shanghai, located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in China, is the busiest container port in the world. It serves as a major hub for international trade and handles a massive volume of cargo.

Port of Singapore (Singapore): While not solely a river port, the Port of Singapore is strategically located along the Singapore Strait, which connects to the Malacca Strait. It is one of the world's busiest ports and serves as a crucial transshipment hub for goods moving between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.

Port of Rotterdam (Netherlands): Situated on the Rhine River and serving as an outlet to the North Sea, the Port of Rotterdam is Europe's largest and one of the world's busiest river ports. It handles a significant amount of cargo, including containers, petroleum products, and bulk commodities.

Port of Hamburg (Germany): The Port of Hamburg, located on the River Elbe in Germany, is one of Europe's busiest river ports and a vital hub for trade in the region. It handles various types of cargo, including containers, bulk goods, and general cargo.

Port of New Orleans (United States): The Port of New Orleans, located along the Mississippi River in the United States, is a major river port handling a diverse range of commodities. It serves as a crucial gateway for international trade and inland transportation in the United States.

Port of Tianjin (China): Situated on the Hai River in China, the Port of Tianjin is one of the largest and busiest river ports in the world. It serves as a vital gateway for trade in northern China and handles significant container and bulk cargo volumes.

These are just a few examples, and there are other river ports worldwide that handle substantial amounts of cargo and contribute significantly to global trade and transportation and bigger than Lagos ports

I know by the time Biafra is birthed, Anambra port will be the largest port in the Biafra land with 5States.

Nigeria is blessed with the Atlantic Ocean cutting through about 9 States in SW and SS, why should Nigeria dredge a shallow River Niger when it has several oceans that connect directly with the world.?

It is only an insane person that will not maximize their area of competitive advantage before going into an unknown area.

I tell you, before there can be a port in the SE the entire 4 states in SW and 5States in SS will have a fully functioning port.

Mind you, Kogi and Niger State have a higher competitive advantage to have ports ahead of Anambra and Abia.

The only option left is for your state governors to site one in your area and make it the largest in Nigeria, anything other than that is just a wish of a chest beater

Hopefully the ports of onitsha and obuaku will join the river ports of the world to churn out goods , services ,imports and exports

What's the GDP of SouthEast

Do think a Port is like Beaches where you go for fun

Stop the wishful thinking and tell your governors to take governance seriously by dredging River Niger even if it's only canoe it carry, it's better than none.

Na will of God them dey take build ports?

That's how how people have been foolishly calling Abia God's Own State and drinking kerosene on top.

If not for Otti trying to restore the dignity of beleaguered Abians, na so una go dey fool yourselves.

What is the action plan for there to be a port in Igboland in the next 40 years? Nothing
Any think-tank to make it happen? None

Maybe God doesn't even want you to have a Port sef.

Don't be offended. Not everyone achieve things through the will of Satan. Be yourself and let others be themselves. 🤝

Ports and other economic enablers compliment each other and feed off of each other to improve the GDP of a region or country!
