Lol. jealous of potorpotor that you're running away from. lmao see this one wants to raise small prick What do you have in the South-east that we don't have in the Southwest. Oga goan sleep! You don't want seaport in Ondo but you want seaports in the ND developed. So typical anyway, that's not what we are talking about. Stick to the topic. All we are saying is that you should stop blaming yorubas for whatever you think is wrong with seaports in that part of the country

omaar12:
Small Prick Or Big Prick, All Na Still Prick, Lol. I Stuck With The Topic, Yo The One Who Made It Seem Like We Are Talking About Yoruba Land Alone, I Only Asked U To Acknwledge The Good Work Others Have Been Doing In Yorubaland, You Guy Just Flaire Up Whenever Someone Says Anything Either Good Or Bad( For/or) Lagos. An Upgrade Eastern Sea Port Will De congest Apapa As Well As Save Those Importer And Exporter Some Cost. All In All We Blame The FG.

EternalTruths:




You expect us to believe Federal Government lying Data.


Keep dreaming


Just pray that Cameroon don't open a port at Southern Cameroon and connect it to Cross River through a road/bridge/rail networks.


Once they do, the unequal advantage Afonjas have being utilizing against the East will collapse.

You said the same thing when you were opening your Waterlogged Intergalactic Airport in Enugu.

Has that stopped the traffic at MMA?.

We cannot wait for you to open ports wherever you want to open.it and get the hell out of our region.

cstr1000:

As for the bolded, I think they left in 1966. I even think they wanted to with the IPOB resurgence.

But it seems your people don't want them to leave your region. And by region, I mean Lagos. I don't think there is any SANE Igbo man in any other part of yorubaland.

They can't leave Lagos and still remain in one-naijeria na. Dosen't make any sense.

The I know the stats are port usage it shows all the ports are being used. The point is to give context to how ports are used. We already know concession arrangements effect prices.

1. This point is wrong like I told you. Go read the draft chart on NPA website. The are relatively same same. Onne being as deep as tin can. I'm not going to go through all the numbers for u.

2. They were being used effectively and still are. The trend has been sane for past decade. Lastly the article states the security concerns were big issue.

russellino:


1. The challenges with the ports in the east are infrastructural challenges including shallow draught for ships larger than a particular size. The federal govt is responsible for ports infrastructure no?

2. Do you have any facts to prove that poor security is responsible for the low usage of ND ports? Why is onne (a privately managed port) not affected by this security you speak of?

“The waters off Nigeria remain particularly risky,” said the head of the IMB Pottengal Mukundan, pointing to the waters off the the state of Bayelsa, Bonny Island and Port Harcourt.

Mukundan said there had been an increase in reported hijackings and kidnappings, although many more had not been reported.

Shuku0kukobambi:


@the bold, but of course

Achebe and co that had ALL their lives in Ibadan were very insane

The Eze ndigbo that was flogged in Akure is very insane obviously

See some other very insane fools. Fighting over Eze ndigbo of Ibadan title for the past 19 years!!

cstr1000:



Achebe had all his life in Ibadan? You must be high on something.

Eze Ndiigbo of Ibadan is obviously not sane. What is in Ibadan to be an ezendiigbo of?

Shuku0kukobambi:


What do you know sef? You know notjing about Achebe's history even though you invoke his name in your hate? I'm sure you'll also protest if I tell you Achebe was fed ewedu and amala by his Yoruba son in law

3 factions of Igbo men have been fighting to be Eze ndigbo of Ibadan for 19 years!! The joke is on you, an anonymous dot on the internet

cstr1000:

Achebe lived all his life in Ibadan. Where in God's name did you hear that.?

He has Yoruba inlaws or not does not concern me. He did not live with his Yoruba in-laws.

bounty007:



no mind the human.. he knows the truth but always play dumb..anytime this sea port matter come up.

Afonjas are very envious.. they know the truth..but say na igbo matter.. Quick Quick..they go oppose am.. then keep subtle opposition... very jealous human.

It A Known Fact That The Port In Lagos Was Built In The Early 60t'z When Lagos Was Still The Capital, And It Was Built Un Opposed By Other Region, Let Admit This. If There Was No Oil In The ND Will The Govt Have Even Welcomed The Idea Of A Seaport Down South? I Dont Think So. Put Tribalism Aside, The Upgrade Of Those Port Will Be Beneficial To Lagos And The Entire South. The West Should Stop Being A Tool Used Against The South By The Far North. They Should Stop Coverting Our Collective Effort As Theirs Alone, Lagos Was Built By Al Nigerians From All Region With The Igbos Contribution A Large Chunk As A Non Indigene To Lagos Not Just By The West Alone. If We Had Played The Tribalism Card Then A Large Part Of Lagos Would Have Still Been A Forest.

1. The shallow drafts are similar to apapa so that point is null. Onne and tin can the deepest. The federal government can spend a bunch of money to constantly dredge but these points were not intended to be deep seaports. That's why are building deep seaports all over place.

2. What do you mean by low usage? You see 90% of exports go out of eastern ports. Second you can read IBM see piracy reports. Then look up news stories relating to piracy see where they take place. The last bit of proof is scholarly articles.

Who said Onne not effected. The last piracy incident happened at Bonny. Pirates are usually targeting oil tankers to kidnap sailors.

diadem10:


Nope! The port was built by the British before Lagos was amalgamated with the south, years before the south was amalgamated with the North. Nigeria needed Lagos more than Lagos needed Nigeria. Get that sunk into your empty head. And we don't need you clowns in Lagos!

russellino:



1. If you do not agree that failure of the federal govt (NPA) to dredge eastern ports and improve infrastructure/management then what is your opinion??
Again see the opinion of people who actually use the ports.

"An Onitsha-based businessman and Managing Director, OkayGod Investments Limited, Augustine Okechukwu, said the situation is worrisome and have a huge impact on the cost of production, coupled with the risk of transporting the goods through terrible roads from Lagos to Onitsha.

He said: “We all imported through the Port Harcourt ports before, but we decided to change to Lagos as our port of destination because clearing goods from Port Harcourt seaport is very hectic and cumbersome. You cannot get your goods easily from Port Harcourt. I think it is deliberate so as to make people patronise Lagos than other ports

On the cost of clearing and transporting the goods between the Lagos and Port Harcourt ports, Okechukwu said: “Cost of transportation from Lagos is high and it is affecting businesses here
But we still prefer it because if you import through Port Harcourt, it takes two to three months to clear, meanwhile, it take a few weeks to clear in Lagos"

If NPA ensured efficiency in Port Harcourt would he still route his cargo through Lagos?

2. Low usage of eastern ports IS the subject matter of the businessday article that inspired this thread. Besides the issue is not oil exports that make up the 90% you are alluding to.Funny enough you were the one that introduced the issue of security as one of the problems

of eastern ports. Incidents of piracy have only minimally affected the volume of oil tankers carrying crude oil or liquefied gas from bonny axis. Moreover bonny and onne are different.

The Liberia-flagged vessel is owned by German shipping firm the Peter Doehle Group.

The MTI Network, a crisis communications firm that deals with incidents in the shipping industry, said the attack happened as the ship entered the port of Onne.

okway2:
Ask your governor to do it without FG support as you lots love to claim.

“Build an international airport in the East and watch Lagos fall”

We built Enugu International Airport and guess what? Lagos is still standing strong.


Aren’t the ports in SS functioning? Why do you lots like to lie?

Blue3k:


1. They can drege ports at high cost sure. I'm not going to argue about depths of ports all day. The facts are listed on NPA website. The inefficiency valid concern for Eastern division head to fix. The Should the concessionaires be able to handle that issue.

2. You should read the hyper link I provided. None is effected like I told you. Yes they are able to goods out including oil. The suffer higher cost in insurance premiums and security to protect goods.

The article the op posted listed security as issue. I guess your eyes glazed over that. Lol of course you don't want to talk about exports. I also posted tonnage of goods and you see overall eastern ports are faring well.

Duru1:


You always respond to previous posts with penchant for ignorance. There are seaports in Warri, Calabar and Port Harcourt but there are equally federal government regulations that dictate the operational statues of all the ports in Nigeria.

superstar1:



Developers can be found in Igbeti Igbojo Lanlate and Ajitele. He is just a naive ignoramus that does not know the extent of brain and manpower drain has occured in their despicable region.

Shuku0kukobambi:


But you chest beating clowns claim you own lagos na?

Why are you now vexing?

Infact you, in particular, are very shameless. You remember the thread below?

https://www.nairaland.com/4195654/possibility-edo-igbo-rule-lagos

And the very first post on it?



Once again, since you're the greatest investors hence beneficiaries of Lagos, why are you now vexing and crying?

Na ur papa get Lagos, don't go back to oshogbo

deomelllo:









You are the richest, you are the smartest, you own everything and you are better than the rest of Nigeria, but in your warped world, they are holding you down with some bad policies.

The fact that you own everything and you are the richest means government policies are more in your favor than the rest of the country you are richer and better than.

Som how do you people reconcile your silly double talk? You people hardly make sense with your pointless and empty chest beating,

You can not have it both ways.

russellino:


1. You keep trying to deflect this discussion to NPA website. You have agreed at least that there are infrastructural issues affecting the Eastern ports that go even beyond dredging. Moreover do you want to tell me that the NPA cannot afford to dredge Port Harcourt? Secondly narrowing the inefficiency to the Eastern division head is mere hair splitting. The federal govt has failed to do ANYTHING about ports besides the ones in Lagos. Yes or no? If no the next question is why

2. I honestly didn't see anywhere security was mentioned in the article. You agreed that security was a reason for low usage or am I wrong. [b]The tonnage you are talking about consists mainly of our biggest exports and imports which are crude oil and petroleum respectively. [/b]If not Onne would not even be on the map

Cjrane2:


Nigeria is a country where some people believe that for them to suceed, others must die.

The same way Eastern ports were left dormant and instead have only one over congested port for a country of 180 million people, is the same way other international airports in the East are prevented from accessing foreign airlines so that everyone in a country of 180 million people is forced to use just one or two airports in the capital city. Just Imagine that.
