Ibaka Deep Seaport is over due. With a Bugdet of N60b, SS/SE can afford a deep seaport.


This is wat we lack in the region and currently need.

Prof Ben Ayade is currently constructing a deep seaport in Cross Rivers state. PMB was there few months ago for the ground breaking ceremony. SE cannot have a seaport. SE is landlocked

Dude speak for yourself. Abia has access to the sea via the blue river.

All we actually need is land reclamation from the Sea and we build a seaport connected by a bridge to Abia and the whole SE.


We dont need any useless train carrying our future to Lagos. We want to build our region.

We need a ferry or boat or something as well.

We need a fiery or both or something as well.

If u ask me the train is a very useless idea with no economic benefit besides aiding mass migration.

SS/SE dont need dat right now as we build our region.

Yeah you have a point but still the place will develop connect people together job employment as well.

At least let's appreciate one thing at a time.

With 60B A DEEP Seaport can be built in Port Harcourt.

Abia deep seaport would require land reclamation from the sea and bridges.

This is the only project that can add value to Nigeria GDP

What is their to appreciate in a train line? We dont need it, we have roads.

If the Federal government want to improve Nigeria Economy, they should bring deep seaport to either port harcourt or Abia.

Alternatively, channel the fund to suppoprt Ibaka deep seaport construction in Akwa Ibom.

Stop deceiving yourself kiddo. The SE is landlocked, we dont have to be be ashamed about that. Dangote is building a seaport in Lagos, Prof Ben Ayade is building a seaport in Cross river. If our region has access to the sea, what has stopped our governors from embarking on joint regional projects to construct a port or better still invite a private consortium for that purpose and build it with a PPP. The true of the matter is simple - SE is landlocked

how can we seaport,when we don't seas

The yoruba man burden. Always giving advice that was not requested.

We are Nigerians and the Federal Government should make sure that the SS/SE are carried along.

Our resources should not be used for the North alone and Lagos.

Projects should be shared equally.

SS/SE is over due for a deep seaport, jokes apart.

What is the need for the second Niger bridge and the supposed coastal railway without a deep sea in the region?

It is all about one way traffic, capital flight, unbalanced trade and economics where Western region develops at the detriment of their Eastern counterpart.

Thank u for that contribution. The second niger bridge will lessen the burden on the Niger Bridge.


The railway project has no economic benefit to the SS/SE, it will not add anything to the GDP of Nigeria.


A deepseaport will not only provide employment but a source of earning foreign currency through trade and commerce.


The government should invest wisely.

Another disturbing traits common to my brothers- always refering to everybody as yoruba.
We also need to stop lumping the SS together. Is cross river state not in the SS? Is Prof Ben Ayade not currently building the Bakassi Deep Sea Port in Cross River. If the Cross River state Government can attempt to build a seaport for themself what stops our Governors in the south east too? If the Lagos sate Government can attratct Foreign Investors(dangote) to build a seaport for them, what stops our Governors from attaracting investors to Alaigbo that would also help us build a seaport based on a PPP? Dont we have enough billionares in Igboland that can single handedly build a seaport - Arthur Eze, Ifeany Ubah, Orji Kalu, Ibeto etc. Would we just continue to whine and blame others while we can determine our own fate by ourselves instead of the FG

Myopic thinking.

How about you do something with the existing ports in that region like Onne rather than asking for an idea full of folly. When you get to secure your waterways, maybe shipping insurance prices will just be low enough for shippers to reconsider plying that area.

You don't have a clue of the benefits of intermodal transportation in an economy and you can't decipher why another port in a dangerous area is a bad idea? Smh

Speak for yourself man. SE and SS needs the railway as well as the seaport. As much as efforts are being made to build this all important railway, efforts should also be made to revive the seaports in PH, Warri and Calabar. But your position that a high speed railway connecting the entire SE/SS region is 'useless,' no reasoning could be more pathetic.

Efforts are being made presently by the Cross Rivers government to develop a seaport with private investors; the Lagos government is also doing same for a seaport at Lekki, so it is possible for power blocks in the SE to pull brains and resources together to achieve a seaport close to Aba. Recently the transport minister raised a pertinent question pertaining to why seaports in the Niger delta aren't viable any more. He promises to look into that and whether he does succeed in that aspect or not, it does not change the fact that the coastal railway which links all the southern major cities and some south-eastern cities is a very economically important project. Your lack of understanding on this (which is glaringly fuelled by your prejudice for any project that links Nigeria up) cannot change the importance of this project.

Thanks for engaging that little boy who knows nothing.

How can any sane person reject such a laudable project. They see everything Buhari tries to do for our people as wrong. Hate can drive people crazy.

Echi ha asi n'onweghi ihe Buhari mere anyi. These same silly little boys are the ones who will come out and defend lgbo politicians who receive Federal contracts on behalf of our people and siphon the money without anything on ground.

A seaport is under federal list not state governors.

People want to talk but have very little idea.

Will the federal governmnet ever approve such for SE?

BEST WAY FORWARD IS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH TO CONSTRUCT IT.

Wat value have all the train constructed by GEJ added to the Economy and country? Did we not vote out GEJ despite his hard work?


Honestly, right now SS/SE urgently need Deep seaport in Port Harcourt, Abia or Akwa Ibom.


Just one major Federal Deep Seaport.

Bunch of Ingrates

Daura President is giving you rail that your son of soil didn't give you , now you want seaports

beggers are not chosers , learn to crawl before you start running

That said ........



If you want a seaport

Go and dig it ,

Una kukuma plenty well well

is this a lame excuse to justify the exclusion of the rail project in the budget, there we go again my se and ss brothers failing to learn political diplomacy.

Its all about crying for heaven and earth at the same time, na wa o!

Are u an Engineer? Who told u deep seaport construction is not feasible in SE?


Do u know Abia has direct access to the sea?

What stops us from taking a bridge out into the sea and construct a deep seaport after land reclamation?


This is an option for the Federal Government.

deep seaport would have been better.

The coastal rail way will destroy our sea front view.

It is a useless idea that can never generate foreign income and increase our foreign reserve.

However, wen tribalism leave Nigerians alone, feel free to construct a deep seaport and see Nigeria Economy grow.

Lagos is over crowded, let us not wait until we massacre each other on the street of Lagos.

Yoruba greed will ultimately lead to dat, as our collective wealth continues to be diverted to Lagos.
