My friend sharrap dia. Goat.
Are you an importer? Have you ever travelled outside of Birnin Kebbi?

Let me tell you how it is done in real life.

If you want to import into Nigeria, you go to a shipping company and inquire about ports in Nigeria to ship your items to.
Most times, what about 95% of them tell me is that they only ship to Lagos.
Now if you pry them more, they say they can also ship to these other ports, but then if you are smart, you would know that there must be some "K-leg" with those ports.
Then, if you know Nigeria very well, you know that ANY little problem could cost you the container itself. You could lose your good!
Now, how many traders can take such risk?

Those ports will remain unused until the shipping companies accept them, for whatever reason.

In as much as i classify the OP as one of those people who think they must get something in order to be patrotic citizens of AlaIgbo, i think he just revealed the real reason why Igbos live in their millions in other parts of the country. It's not because they so love Lagos or Abuja but because the south-east doesn't have the necessary infrastructure for this people to go about their daily duty and this is mainly the fault of the federal government because they have refused to give every region the free hand to develop themselves. Everybody is dependent on the federal government. Even the south-east governors kinda have their hands tied. They can't really do much.

^fact! And this is the truth that their 'hosts' are trying so hard to deny, lol.

@onlytruthless ewu you, if you know that shipping companies prefer Lagos, why blame the Governors, wherever you are you are not better than those in birnin kudu and you ezeashi of anwurawu not NAIRAland are definately not an importer you would have known that there are ports neighbouring Igboland.

Wow... where have i been since.?

macjive01: ONNE is not a deep water port. if u take a look at the port u wud see that there is no provision for cranes, onne port is basically for oil companies and their products.

Ehn??! Oga, have you been to Onne? When was the last time you visited the place?
