until we fix ports, we cant fix logistics

Hmmm

Because the first priority of our leaders is political important of the port and not the economical important.

Dumb comment...learn to read

Op this your explanation doesn’t make any sense. There is nothing that stops ports from operating when bridges are being constructed.

Name one country in this planet earth that shut down their river port to construct a bridge?

I guess you haven't been to the site, I'm telling from what I saw they used sand to block the River

franchasng:
Igbo is a landlocked region yen yen yen....Igbos can never have seaport yen yen yen ....there is no seaport or water that can carry ship in Igbo land so therefore they should stop seeking for Biafra because they must be coming back to Lagos to clear their goods yen yen yen

Walai diẹ ninu awọn eniyan wa ni aṣiwere

Rwanda is a small, landlocked country yet it's doing better than Nigeria at the moment.

mtcheew

If true, Then it’s a poor construction technique that will cause massive flooding around surrounding cities and communities. Are they building a dam or a simple bridge that China for example builds 5 or 6 each year. The never had to shut down the yangzhe river or yellow river just to build a simple bridge. Everything in Nigeria is always sideways.

Otondo,, in the 1960s and 1970s vessels and barges sailed the river Niger, bringing goods from Niger Delta to warehouses in Onitsha and Lokoja for onward movement to the North.

Good xplanation but for vessel owners like Grimaldi, do you really wanna go fru that hassle? at what profit?logos is good for them to drop off as last West African port of discharge.

Fact, River Niger channel is very important to the North and South East to be independent from West, Baro port was started by Yar'adua completed by Buhari, Buhari will want that River port to start functioning before the end of his regime.

The Southeast is ok with Onne port and is currently using it as we speak as for the North, the dry port should be their focus if they are serious instead of wasting money. We have more pressing issues like constant power.

You people come up with ever more inventive ways to justify why the south-east and south-south don’t see the same level of attention, investments and pace of federally assisted development as the south-west and core-north!

You’re now basically saying the Onitsha port is ready and primed for full operations, but can’t commence just yet because Julius Berger blocked or is it dammed the River Niger!

All the ports in Biafraland must be controlling by IPOB. If not Nigerias propaganda will not work on us.


Biafrans must control their future, politics, economy and their land.

Political Importance/Economic Importance.

Common mistakes in English.

Important and importance are two words pointing hands to almost the same directions but in this context, "Importance" points accurately to buttres your contribution .

Thanks.

Inland waterways are secondary channels and are dependent on the international routes to operate. This is because inland ports and waterways have certain inherent limitations that prevent ocean-going vessels from passing or berthing at the ports. For instance, inland ports are usually bordered by bridges that make it impossible for big vessels to pass or berth.And with a draught of between 2.5 and 3.0 metres, inland waterways cannot accommodate big vessels that move on minimum draft of 8.5 metres. Consequently, mother vessels entering the country must first trans-load to smaller vessels which then will convey the goods through the inland channels to the river ports. The standard procedure is that mother vessels that are designed for a draught of between 8.5 and 10.5 metres ferry goods into the country and thereafter transfer the goods to barges, which in turn trans-load to smaller boats that can move on inland waterways and berth in inland ports.

Too much Gramma, you seem to be telling us why something can not be done rather than why it should be done.

Ever heard of the SUEZ CANAL In Egypt? It's a "man made Port" that has more economical importance than Lagos Sea port, see FG's inability to build a functional port in the East is all about tribalism and politics...any other story is fairytale

What an interesting twist, first they said it was shallow water, then concession issues now it's 2nd Niger Bridge. What next after this? Who builds a port that depends on the completion of a non-existent bridge to function?

BeautifulMind2:

That's what many don't know, the bridge most be completed before those ports function.

Don't be deceived. The bridge is distance away from the port point, please spear me of those stories.

Mother vessels can't sail to Onitsha or Baro port, only smaller vessels or barges, it doesn't make Onitsha port less viable or unattractive, Eastern importers already waiting in wings just for FG to declare Onitsha River port of final destination for cargoes, my point is both ports can't function until they complete 2nd Niger bridge. I actually witnessed when Julius Berger was bringing in their containers through barges via Onitsha port

This thing go pain Igbo's and Nnamdi Kanu well oo.

I guess you don't understand my point, below picture is River Niger the red line is the blockage and heavy construction going on , so tell me how you will sail from warri port to Onitsha or Baro port

Ignorant mind

OboOlora:
Give them referendum let them be shipping their spare parts through Lagos after queuing to beg for visa.
Awon oniyeye lmao

You're extremely funny. The proposed Biafra landmass includes multiple areas that border the ocean.
All they would do is revitalize or construct ports in those places. Calabar, Delta and Portharcourt all have ports that are not fully in use.

I pray Nigeria should work again

Hope the bridge comes alive soonest

You can see JB barge berthed at Onitsha River port

Suez canal is in between two oceans. It's more of a short cut between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean. Just like the Panama canal.
