Why haven't for instance a calabar or Warri man shout about this I'm less concern about who and what has a port or not; it's lack of exposure that's making round that bothers me You guys can yap all yourselves as you like base on your tribal nonsense, I'm not moved.

There is no port called Akwa Ibom port in Nigeria.Am not against a northern being the MD of NPA.Although,80 percent of the past NPA MDs are from the North.The areas you mentioned may not have produced any MD of NPA.I stand to be corrected.Don't get it twisted Ibaka Deep sea port in Akwa Ibom is on the process and will be a big one too. Its the south even that should complain if any they got more ports in SS than Lagos... and most of their ports is for oil/gas service and also huge money is generated too  . Am not sure if SS has been NPA chairman ever, you can educate me....even if it should be zoned not like mentioning only Lagos as if Lagos is the only port in Nigeria, or say Yoruba generally like the writer did forgetting that its only one (Lagos) SW state that there is sea port, to me that sounds tribalistic. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Foolishness at its peak!!!! Where did you get this stupid submission from; Igbos travel.......
You need to leave that your East even Nigeria so as to see what d situation is outside Nigeria and see that your kinsmen are deceiving you.
I lived in US for 5 to 6 years before I relocated back to UK and I can boldly tell you that Igbos in these two countries are not even up to 20% of Yorubas population. The same story in Canada and Ireland. You can only see large numbers of Igbos in these following countries: South Africa, Malaysia and China.
Pls, if you doubt my submission, go to Any Airport in State, UK, Ireland, Canada even our own Airport- MMA and listen to most of the passengers who are Nigerians. You ll realise that 80% of Nigerians at these Airports I have mentioned are Yorubas. It's so bad that some of these Countries Immigration staff are now speaking one to two Yoruba words.
Pls don't bring few Igbos that travel to Dubai and China to buy their goods into this cos there are Yorubas who buy their products from China too but I m 100% sure that Igbos do more of that than Yorubas.
Pls go to "Gbagi market" in Ibadan to see things for yourself; the size alone and come back here to tell me if you see a single Igbo man in that Market.
Come to "Bodija Market in" Ibadan; the size alone ll scare shit out of you. All occupied by Yorubas...
Pls come to "Oja Oba" in Ibadan as well so as to see that your kinsmen have been lying to you about Igbo love for business.
Alaba Market is Yoruba controlled properties rented out to Igbos. It all started from Surulere before it was splited into two- Mile 2, Ketu and d present day Alaba, Ojo. Igbos dominated this market.
Idumota Market; apart from Nollywood section(Excluding Yoruba movies), Yorubas dominated this market.
My friend, out of 10 biggest market in Nigeria today, Yorubas have 5 markets(Alaba, Bodija, Gbagi, Idumota and Oja Oba while Igbos have 4 (Ariaria, Onitsha market, Ogbete and New Market Aba). So where do you get this self serving stat from?
If you are talking about numbers of Industrialists in Nigeria today, you ll hardly see any Igbo among real industrialists except Innoson. bodija market? bro try enter ariaria first. no Igbo industrialist?biko orient petroleum, orange druges,ibeto,tonimas,Slovak group,zinox computers,chisco transport (just to mention) a few na ur papa get am? and biko 2out of the 3 Nigerians recently made mayors in england er igbos.i pray buhari rejuvenates the ph port so that it can handle container ships not just oil ships then, this nonsense would stop .had it been the topic was about drug paddling i bet u would have conceded that igbos er the most travelled in nigeria just to spite them .this shows Nigeria's busiest airports hope u learn a thing or two from it http://www.yourbudgit.com/infographics/nigerias-busiest-airports-by-passenger-traffic/ 1 Like |

The appointment of non-Yoruba to the position of the Nigerian Ports Authority, (NPA) is an insult to the Yoruba nation, the O’odua Nationalist Coalition, (ONAC) has said. ONAC said the position of the NPA Chairman and the Managing Director should be the preserve of the Yoruba people.
In a statement on Monday, the Pan Yoruba group stated that the Lagos port is the second largest source of revenue for the Federal Government adding that the Lagos port is to the Yoruba people what oil is to the Niger-Delta. If consistently Niger-Delta people have been at the helms of affairs at the NDDC, there is no reason why the NPC should not be consistently led by a Yoruba person.
ONAC stated that recent appointment of Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado Bayero as the NPA Managing Director is absolutely wrong. It negates the principles of fairness. How on earth can you appoint some one who has no stream in his home state as the Managing Director of NPA? The Lagos port is on Yorubaland. In a true federal system, the chairman of the Ports Authority must necessarily be an indigene of Lagos or at least a Yoruba person, ONAC stated.
“For several years, the Lagos Port has been a source of financial muzzle for Nigeria. This port is located in Yorubaland and was used for trans-Atlantic trade route for over 1000 years by the Yoruba Nation before the artificial creation of Nigeria. It is disheartening that the Nigerian government has continued to undermine the natural right of Yoruba people to be made the NPA chairman. Successive governments have continued to commit this deliberate error. President Goodluck Jonathan has just committed the same assault on our people by his recent appointment”, the statement signed by ONAC official, Mr Olumide Ajayi stated.
ONAC stated that the appointment of a non-Yoruba as the NPA chairman violates the UN convention on indigenous rights. ONAC stated that the UN convention stresses absolute need for consultation of state governments in the management of resources that belong to indigenous people the way the ports in Lagos belong to the people of Lagos. Quoting the UN Convention 169 on the right of indigenous people, ONAC stated that the spirit of consultation and participation constitutes the cornerstone of Convention No. 169 on which all its provisions are based. The Convention requires that indigenous and tribal peoples are consulted on issues that affect them. It also requires that these peoples are able to engage in free, prior and informed participation in policy and development processes that affect them.ONAC said the Yoruba people have for long been taken for granted adding that it was high time the ethnic nationality began to bare her fangs.
The principles of consultation and participation in Convention No. 169 relate not only to specific development projects, but also to broader questions of governance, and the participation of indigenous and tribal peoples in public life.
The group said eventhough President Goodluck Jonathan is of the ethnic minority stock, his understanding of indigenous rights is narrow. until we start seeing ourselves as nigerians rather than people living in nigeria, we will never get to the promise land. lagos port is owned by the federal government and not lagos state. |

It is rather appaling that anytime there is a divide in opinion and interests, some good-for-nothing men and women go tribal. I have read a lot on tribal sentiments and the venomous poison unleashed on a particular tribe or ethnic group in this country. That's really sad. It goes to show that there is deep seated hatred of one another in this fascade of reality. One thousand and one unbridled utterances against one another is totally unacceptable.
Just for the records, each tribe in this country is important no matter what. Until we learn to judge people by the content of their character, and not their tribal origin, then we would be heading for a vicious waterloo. Who tells u that the Yoruba man is superior to an Igbo man or the Igbo man to the Hausa man and so forth. The truth of the matter is that every Nigerian has contributed immensely to the economy of this country. Why the fuss about who's appointed chairman of NPA? Who told the Yoruba people that it is their exclusive reserve? Well, I don't have much problem with that afterall they're exihibiting their fundamental human right.
Part of our problem in this nation is lack of data or history. We have had men in times past steal us dry irrespective of whether they're Igbos, Yorubas or Hausas. An estwhile NPA chairman, Bode Gorge, was a Yoruba man, what legacy did he leave behind? The pension thief was an Hausa man, what legacy did he leave behind? Or the former immgration boss, an Igbo woman. Where is the position of federal character if only Yorubas will chair the NPA? Boards of different MDAs are chaired by someone who is not an indigene of that place but who is a Nigerian citizen. That's what our law stipulates. Because of the lawlessness in this country, people flout rules and do any how. Part of the abysmal situation we find ourselves here is majorly due to mediocrity kind of administration. Because he/she is not my towns man, then there's nothing good in him or her. That's the mentality of ignoble men.
We should stop all these name calling and tribal war. This power tussel can't lead us anywhere. When a drug dealer is arrested in Malaysia, he is a Nigerian irrespective of his tribe. When some desperate guys snuff out live in their fellows, whether in Soka Ibadan or Ogun. State ritual killing or Abia kidnapping or Hausa Boko Haram, they all are Nigerians with evil intentions and vindictive men. We must condemn all irrespective of where u come from. Let's stop celebrating medicores on the premise of tribe. Let's celebrate men and women of good fame; persons who have made us proud like Harold Ekeh, a Nigerian who made 100.5% CGPA. He's from an Igbo decent, yet what the world including 8 Ivy colleges know is that he's a Nigerian. |
