ivolt:
The problem with your request is that a seaport requires access to sea.

Just look at this idiot

OP bleep you..why did you single out the south east on your heading ..

The body of your blog has little or no semblance to your sensational headline.

Nonsense and ingredients

ShitHead:
The developments in SE in 2018 was better than Lagos.

It's not about how much, but how far.

Shame no even catch you. Comparing a single state to a whole region.

TSRC:

The state has a federal government seaport and a functioning international airport.

Size does not matter. France has a bigger economy than Indonesia.

Are you ok. The sea in Lagos is not owned by the FG, but by Lagos State. So what do u mean by federal govt seaport?

The so called revenue in lagos is 80percent of made of contributions from ppl from the southeast...lagos is nothing with this ppl

veesion:
The seaports they are afraid to develop in the east
I tell people this country cannot excel with such level of injustice
It's not possible
With all that one would expect them to be light years ahead but not nothing to show for it.
The state instead is 80% slum,and I find it hard to understand why,but it's more or less karma.

Ode! There is no Sea in the East

Ttipsy:
fine, let Lagos be given independence like Hong Kong, then deny Lagos oil revenue, let other southern state develop their sea Port, till then we'll begin our comparison

There is no Sea in SE, hence no Seaport

Nnamdi222:

Just look at this idiot

All your replies till date are about "shut up", "idiot", "see this one".
Can't force your brain to come up with something reasonable for once?

lomprico:


Calabar or Portharcourt ports should be run the way lagos own is ran let's see.

None of those can compete with Lagos port and you can't force ships to dock where they can't
be accommodated. When Ibom deep sea port large capacity is completed, then ships can dock
where it is closest to the owners of the goods.

Wetin concern Igbo man with Calabar and PH ports.....Very greedy bastards!

Take away the seaport from lagos n take it down east..lets see what is remaining of lagos...lagos is wot it is because of ppl comin in from various place.especially southeast...truth b told..the east has not enjoyed federal presence well enuf.yet dey still wax strong...truth b told

Why won't it be when they don't want other Ports in South-East or South-South to work!

MobilityExpress:


Has nothing to do with lagos being capital, has Abuja not been the capital since Babangida time? Lagos has a high taxation drive. They tax almost anything and everything. Some companies are overtaxed or incur multiple tax sef. That's why the IGR is so high. That's why many small businesses don't survive for so long.

It has everything to do with Lagos being the capital....The infrastructures from oil money drew people who brought businesses...Then the high taxation which brought the needed money.

One more thing,Abuja was not the capital during IBB's reign....It was during Abacha from mid-90s because of the political upheavals then.

And we still have bad roads in Lagos. wetin he gain

Philistine:

Fool

Igbosmoker:
Lagos doesn't feed the nation. The "south south" does.

Have you forgotten Lagos was a capital of Nigeria for 40 years? All the infrastructure, ports, airports were concentrated on Lagos state.

Both of you are wrong, the NORTH feeds the nation, VAT cannot be eaten, Oil cannot be drunk, the food used in feeding Nigerians comes from the north

chloride6:



Who is we?

Are you a shareholder?

Highest form of self delusion....

Better collect your L and come back to reality

Have you finished?

Respect the forum's rules sir

Cheers

There is no Sea in SE, hence no Seaport

the long aged Onitsha seaport deliberately abandoned by FG is what??

why is Lagos port the only fictional in the federal republic of Fulani people. while we have more than 5 coastal States. what they recently inaugurated was Kaduna, Ibadan inland dry port, and baro sea port in Niger state.
Ghana, Kenya, south Africa are they not Nigeria's mates ? they have multiple and fictional seaports, why can't FG come over inferiority and give chance to Economic equality ??

Chiwude:
The oil in the South South caters for every region, not necessary feeds per say. The oil revenue found in the Niger Delta and the offshore coast makes up 90% of our national budget.

Oil makes 90% of our national budget. No doubt about that but SW produces 15% out of the total amount of oil production in Nigeria.

SW is only eating from its oil money.

Aderewah:
Lol. Let's wait for claims that igbos own 80% if lagos. Some people think it's spare parts, okrika and pirated films that make money in lagos. No. It's shipping, banking, insurance, telecommunications etc

And shipping is federal. Lagos holds a federal advantage in this area. We have a large shoreline. Let a port be fully operational in the south and all this grammar will change. Lagos is enjoying a political advantage.

Seaport in Onitsha? U must be Kidding, Neither Onitsha or any SE Town or city has access to the sea, the best u have is access to Rivers not sea.

selemo:
Black man with their black senses.. Federal govt should try and open other ports and see what will happen to lagos revenue...Though this measure will reduce poverty too..

Typical naija man with absolute lack of reasoning... Anyways there's absolutely no point trading banter with U

lomprico:
Give SE just 'one' sea port and carry out this survey after 2yrs.

Thes same landlocked SE or which one??

Thanks to the FG for putting everything in Lagos

Chiwude:
Lagos revenue is higher than both the SE, SW and other parts of Nigeria minus the SS. It a good development because Lagos is a national pride.
So rather than keep citing key infrastructures in Lagos, the federal government should switch those assets to other parts of the federation, such as seaport in the eastern section, railways linking key northern and southern cities and so on and so forth which is ongoing already. This will go a long way in diversifying economic development in all parts of the federation, even the individual states of the idiots who don't know the damages a single monopolized Lagos does to their own states.

Keep making yourself feel better. Lagos (Eko) na Yoruba land for ever and ever. The sooner Igbo start working to make their region better, the better. As we plenty reach for Lagos, we have zero political representation and relevance anywhere in that Lagos. No representation whatsoever. Time to use our head, money is not everything and I am tired of being an outsider in Lagos.

TSRC:
The report should have also included how much Igbo contribute to the Lagos economy compared to the Yoruba.

And also how much of the Lagos economy comes from Federal projects like the seaport.

That is why the hunt for an Eastern seaport is very critical.

It is the key to everything.

What do the Igbos manufacture?

Importing trash from China is not development.

Then those people are very stupid. Don't you think so?

Dem force una? Early this year the FG reduced the charges at the "Eastern" ports, did your lagos obsessed Igbo brothers go there?
Na to dey foolishly drag Lagos with its rightful occupier owners!

This has NOTHING to do with Lagos state tax collection tactics, and everything to do with how poor the South Eastern states are at generating IGR.

Edo State doesn't have tollgates or tinubu, but the state generates more IGR than any single South Eastern state!

AkataYeriYeri:

Thes same landlocked SE or which one??

Which Seaport does Edo State have?

Your Governors are just lazy, in most cases. Obiano DOUBLED the Anambra state IGR just one month after taking over from Peter Obi.

Take away the oil in the south south and see if it would be better than NE.
