You can ask that question to your brother GEJ when he was the president, yet could not do such to his region. Thats why I marveled the way SE especially praise this man to high heavens, yet no single development in both SE and SS. Even his state can have the seaport.
So do not blame this current regime if they are doing the right thing as they understand better. I rest my case.

So, by your warped logic, if an Ijaw man becomes president tomorrow, he should ignore the seaport Buhari is building in Ondo and build a new one in his own area, right? It is thinking like yours that has kept this country where it is. You are correct, GEJ worked on things he thought were more expedient for Nigeria and not just his village. He expended a lot of resources building almajiri schools in the North. He permitted Adesina to heavily invest in irrigation in the North. He built the Kaduna-Abuja railway. He modernised nigeria's airports. To mention a few.

Goods imported into Ondo will still be ferried by road to Aba, Onitsha, PH. It makes no sense, but then again, you are not engaged in this discourse to make sense.

Ebeano49:


No, you are the one being tribalistic and supporting evil due to irrational hatred. Why Ondo? That's a sensible, patriotic question to ask. PH, Warri and Calabar have ports already which are deliberately neglected and dilapidated. It will be cheaper to develop these ones than build a new one in Ondo. Onitsha and Aba based businesses have the highest need for a seaport and PH, Warri or Calabar are much closer to them.
The question, why Ondo? is therefore legitimate but YOUR tribalism and hatred wont let you see the logic in it.

do u even realise that ondo is a south west state and also a Niger Delta state?...the fact that ondo is between south South and south west remains the biggest reason for the location...mind u,delta,rivers,ibom and calabar already have ports that will serve south east

So why are you whining?

do u even realise that rivers and delta have at least 4 ports?....do u realise that akwa ibom and cross River states are building the biggest deep sea ports in nigeria?...mind u I'm from Niger delta

bakynes:

You dont expect the FG to prioritize a River Port over a Sea port do you? Onne port is active. Warri and Calabar are the ones that needs to be revived.

And what's the difference between a river and a sea? Don't you know that some rivers are deeper than some certain seas?

And being from Niger Delta makes you an expert on this subject?? Talk of being clueless! The Cross River deep sea port project will be majority private owned. So, if it actually sees the light of day, it will be prohibitively expensive to use compared to 100% government owned ports in Apapa and maybe this one in Ondo. It will therefore die a natural death! Educate yourself please! Oh, I AM FROM NIGER DELTA too but that's neither here nor there!!!

why did u neglect the fact that delta and rivers got more seaports than lagos.. were u expecting another seaports in South South when almost all states in that region got one?....ondo is the only Niger Delta state that shares border with sea without a seaport...Edo port is under construction.


don't forget proposed seaport in ondo will be on ijawland,not Yoruba

bakynes:

The Akwa-Ibom State Government and the FG are already working on the Ibaka Sea port so what are you talking about?Ondo has the longest coastline/ depth in the country and it's close to Lagos and also the east if they easterners that have no sea want to use it.

the deepest coastline in Nigeria is in Akwa Ibom... Don't know where you people get your facts from

DEEP TRIBALISM!

What a life!

These politicans have been so successful in using tribalism and religion war to mess up with y'all brain since 1960!

You can say whatever you wanna say.The truth remains he raised an important point. First deal with it.

Orthello:

u aren't getting it......sea doesn't have barriers like rivers. rivers do have distributaries, tributaries, gorges,rapids, cataract etc....but sea don't

You probably dont know what a deep sea port is. There is only ONE deep seaport in Nigeria today. It is in Apapa! It handles over 85% of shipping activities in Nigeria. FACT

who owns ibom deep sea port that's under construction?

The issue is proximity to Lagos (where there's a port already) and the areas where a port is needed. There are ijaws in Lagos too so I dont see your point.

martineverest:
do u even realise that ondo is Niger Delta state?

bro are you for real?? the six states that make up Niger Delta are: Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Cross River, Delta, Bayelsa, Edo

I give up on you. Refer to my earlier comment on this. It will be majority owned by a private company. What's your point?

Niger Delta consists of 9 states....south-south consists of 6 states

get Ur fact right

The deep sea port in Ibadan is also undergoing construction

Ibadan Inland Dry port point of correction

Why is government going to build the one in Ondo while Ibom is only good enough for private-public partnership?
Same thing is happening on 2nd Niger Bridge. Please call a spade a spade!

2nd naija bridge is a federal project oooo...who is fielding u with lies and hatred?

the one in ibom(biggest and most expensive in naija) is far bigger than the proposed one in ondo.....just like the mambilla dam(biggest and most expensive in Nigeria) located in plateau..both ibom port and mambilla are private-public owned....they are above 4.5 billion dollars each

ibom is a state,federal and private project...each if the 3 have stake in it...Niger bridge is a federal project.thats why it's always in our budget every year

2nd Niger bridge funding is partly private. If you dont know this, then you shouldnt be commenting.
Have a good day bro

Best news ever. .
If the federal government can really do this it will help open up ilaje/okitipupa/ore axis for business.


Proudly Ondo,
Proudly ilaje.

u are obviously commenting with sentiments and Ur hatred is beyond me...the fact that private companies are contributing doesn't mean it is a private project...2nd naija bridge is 85 percent federal project..ibom seaport is 80 percent federal and state project same as mambilla power plant,the new wing of Lagos international airport..most of federal projects are private-public owned with federal government owning the majority

even this info seaport is not totally federal funded

engreo:
is Ondo state not part of Nigeria again?

PLEASE SIR, READ YOUR RESPONSE EXTREMELY SLOW. I'M SURE THE IRONY WILL OCCUR TO YOU.

All hail one Nigeria

When all the South south/ east leaders even youths will be fighting/asking the builders for money before the work cab be allowed to progress. Kidnapping of same for ransom etc...the area is not safe for her indigenes not to talk of strangers

you guys are the ones tgat are blinded by tribalism. So you mean in your hearts of hearts your conscience dont speak same to you? Lagos as it stands has 4ports. Calaba port was the national ports when Calaba was the nations capital, but everything is now moved to Lagos, why are you too greedy? Share the resources, infrastructures to every one. The Sputh west is not the only region tgat should have all. We have Lekki ports, the Badagri ports under construction, dangote prots making the toyal to 6. why cant the South south who happens to have more shore lines than the entire sputh west. Well we the aouth south people are patiently waitong. Just knw this spoon yorubas are using to feed others shall be used to feed you too. all na time sha.

Thank you sir. Fair n poignant

Propsvilla:
If you can see the future, you will surely see that from Ibeju-Lekki in Lagos down to Ondo Via proposed coastal road has a very bright future. The deep sea port in Ibeju-Lekki is less than three hours drive to Ondo.

But more coastal states in the south South Region should have a deep sea port most especially Onitsha because of the high level of commercial activities in the city.

.


Do you people really understand what a seaport is or sentiment will not allow you check what draft requirements is needed.

Infinityk:

Ondo has deep sea
Onitsha already has a port

You people really will just say anything online
Maybe there's two onitsha's

iknopro:
Why are these FG shying away from bringing this developments to the east even when is so sure that Igbos are the highest stakeholders in this importation business. I think that this hatred has really gotten out of hand.

We are Nigerians and I am happy with the location. Our fathers Nronsi and Azikiwe died for one Nigeria.
We are not ready in the East and only Ibos live in the East. I support the location of this port wholeheartedly even as a proud Ibo man.
