Have you utilised up to 30% of the riverport you have at onitsha? Now, you are talking of jumping over Rivers State or flying over Akwa-Ibom state to build an imaginary seaport. |

proeast: But they are connected to the sea through rivers passing through other states States like rivers. That will have a say over traffic through their territory and a veto over any dredging in their space Those down stream states will bear the brunt of environmental impact of dredging e.g flooding,ecosystem damage. Imagine if Niger republic or Burkina Faso made the same argument after all the River Niger runs through their territory |

There are6 river ports that are superiorto Lagos in apapa, lekki and badagry in infrastructure, volume of transactionsand anesthetics 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 |

gidgiddy: 1. London City Airport is about 50 km from the estuarine mouth of River Thame as it empties into the North Atlantic. 2. The Tidal flow from the North Atlantic still flows almost 28 kms upstream into River Thame. 3. Mentioning River Thames means if it is not at the shore of North Atlantic (within the area influenced by Tidal flow at River Thame estuary), It is automatically not a seaport. 4. If you agree that the port is not within the Coastal estuary (i.e Mulberry Harbour or Canvey island area), dont call them seaport. I agree with you if you call it a River Port. Yes, it is Navigable to small Boats and Ships. 5. Suez Canal is purely an International business route depended upon by the whole of World. 6. Europe, Middle east, Far east, North African countries cut off weeks of navigation by using that 150km long canal. 7. It generates billions of dollars ROI because it is a solution to the whole world navigational problem. 8. It cannot be compared to the dredging of River Niger and Cross River with far less ROI. 10. However, I support South East to see the possibility of River Ports that can support Boats and small ships. But I beg you to stop this your yeye Seaport. It is not too late to call it a slip of finger. 2 Likes |

mrvitalis: So you want to build your seaport on top of Ijaw land or on top of Ibibio land? Or how do you access the ocean without getting to Rivers or Akwa-Ibom state first? 🤔 |

Re: Why SE Must Build A Seaport Now by Gajagojo: 9:38pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
kettykin: The issue is not River or not The issue is right of at or access You wasted so many words talking off point The issue is does one entity control The entire length of the River BY LAW Can Anambra state initiate dredging in Rivers or Bayelsa states That is the issue. We operate a federal system So all that nonsense about China has no relevance here 1 Like 1 Share |

mrvitalis: Then nothing is Wrong if Cross River State chose to dam the cross river at Itigidi to generate power for cross river state which automatically gives them the control on the quantity of water that flows downstream. What this means is any River port at Afikpo will be at the mercy of the flow from the Atigidi Dam Upstream. Lesson: No one can take unilateral decision in what affects more than him/her. |

Re: Why SE Must Build A Seaport Now by Arapmoi22: 10:42pm On Jun 30, 2023 |
mrvitalis: [b]Uncle, stop displaying ignorance. 1. Imo Rivers did not pass through Onne. 2. Assuming it does, since it is a River that formed a natural boundary btw Rivers and Akwa Ibom state, you can only build a massive infrastructure on it with the knowledge of your neighboring state because of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). 3. Onne is South of PH city, after Onne, every landmass or water downstream fall within Rivers State up to the Bonny Island. In that case rivers state needs no permission from no other state apart from NIMASA or FG regulating bodies. 4. However, South East cannot decide what to do with Imo River without the approval of both Rivers and Akwa Ibom because you can't access the ocean without them. 5. On river Niger, You need Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa to consent. 6. On Cross river, you need both cross river state and Akwa Ibom to consent. That is why we were laughing at OP when he said seaport. 7. So, let us stop talking shallow as if we are in beer parlor.[/b] 2 Likes 3 Shares

OP I stand to be corrected, I checked the map of Nigeria keenly and still couldnt see any SE states being bounded with the Atlantic ocean. Are you saying your states will reach a consensus with the neighboring SS States? Or deep sea ports no longer need the ocean? I'm confused here proeast: |

Re: Why SE Must Build A Seaport Now by gidgiddy: 5:37am On Jul 01, 2023 |
Arapmoi22: As has been said in this thread, there are areas in the South East that are closer to the ocean than the existing sea ports in Nigeria. Wether you call it sea port or River port, what is paramount is that there is access to the sea. If Obuaku in Abia State is only 25 nautical miles to the Ocean, but Lagos sea port is 50 nautical miles, why do you then call Lagos a sea port, but want me to call Obuaku that is half the distance to the sea, a River port? That doesn't make sense does it? |
