Ibaka Seaport in Akwa-Ibom state

ovoP:
We all know we have a seaport in lagos used to ship in goods in an out of the country but this has nt been d most favourable in terms of distance. Fact still remains that one or more of the port in the south east or niger delta should be fully functional as it will be able to serve for trade in this part of the country.However, if a port is to be drenched and be made fully functional 'politics' will be involved as a lot of politicians will like to see such development in his or her state. The question is which seaport will best serve this region....4rm d available ones like onne port,warri port,bayelsa,onitsha,calabar e.t.c

ozoebuka1:
considering that main market onitsha is the biggest market in the whole of west Africa, any sincere mind will agree with me that a seaport in onitsha will be more feasible.

dragonking3:
Either Warri or Calabar

There is no sea in Onitsha so there can't be a seaport there. What you can have is a river port that can have small vessels transferring goods to a seaport.

The most central is Onne. It is a maximum 3hrs from all the states in the SuperSouth(SE+SS).

Plus there is already on going activity there.

LoveMachine:


Couple that with Anambra being the most restive & security conscious in the SE/SS Region.

mrvitalis:
Let's be reasonable... This the reason we igbos want south south as part of Biafra (access to the sea )...

Onne or ibaka should feed aba and they should be connected by road and rail with a land Port at aba

Onitcha should be feed through warrior port by road and rail system with a land Port too

Calabar should be kinked to Enugu by roads and rail

Port Harcourt and owerri should work

raker300:

Anambra State sea port is already there, dredge the river so that ships will come in and go out directly from the east and watch how igbos will abandon Lagos.

ImperialYoruba:


Putting a port of any kind in Onitsha will create ecological imbalance for water life and plants upstream. The resulting imbalance can have many adverse outcomes far outweighing derivable and commercial benefit of the intending port.

I hope you know that many upstream communities depend on seasonal rain and swollen tide for subsistence living and agriculture, whether its farming, fishing or herding.

These population are at risk if you disturb the balance of life in the water or reduce its capacity for farm irrigation or if the streams and channels that feed into it should dry up and empty out water holes in arid areas.

Please do not discuss anything called Onitsha port dredging.

Find other ways to transport goods from Onne to Biafra.

Nice thread Oga Ovo p. Please no tribal or ethnic insults on this thread.I dont have a very good knowledge of Seaports and their operations but I heard that the Ibaka area is the best for hosting a seaport and it seems well connected to the South-south and south east so I kind of support Ibaka.
Onitsha is a river-port and not a sea-port so I don't see it going there as it is on the Niger.

HiddenShadow:



Afonjas and their demonic advice

No wonder their ancestor was thrown out of heaven

Onitsha river port will stand whether Afonjas like it or not

ImperialYoruba:


Make certain you do not dredge the river bed. Please I beg you, otherwise 67 @$$ whipping at Ore will be a child's play compared with the anger and demolition we will bring along to invade you.

I beg you, if you know whats good for you, leave that port in Onitsha the way it is now, and distance yourself from any whisper or talk about dredging the bed of River Niger at the Onitsha point. That's a political catastrophy waiting to unload. Do you know what River Niger is? I bet you dont have a clue. Dredge that river bed, you will find out.

Ibaka is 7 hours away from Delta State, 5 from Bayelsa.

I think Onne would be better cos cos PH is closer to Onitsha, Aba, Delta state, Enugu than Akwa Ibom
