Tomide007:

The deep sea port in Ibadan is also undergoing construction

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.

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.

martineverest:
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

Xisnin:

Onitsha is not in South-South and it has no sea.
There is a seaport being developed in Akwa-Ibom state.

Orthello:


What point are you trying to make? Do you know that one the most renouned port in the world; Shanghai port is built on the mouth of Yangtze river?

Are you trying to tell me that if Nigeria were to be a sensible country that the Onitsha port and the Azumini river port won't be fully functional?

Orthello:

Can you tell me the difference between a river and a sea?

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.

Shittynaija:

Warri and Calabar is just a damn waste of money. Calabar depth is just 6 m while warri is like 7m which requires constant dredging leading to high maintenance cost.
Ibaka is deep, lekki and Ondo will be the deepest.
If we allow tribalism we will lose important things.

martineverest:
the topography of the Yangtze River isn't the same as that of Onitsha

Xisnin:

The difference lies in the size of the ship that can dock in the harbor.

Think of river port like a narrow street road that only a bike can use
while seaport is like an expressway which can accommodate buses and trailers.

farem:


We don't want to build on the sea-shore (Biafra) where water washes away. We would rather get a good land where our investment will thrive.

How can you entrust your property to a philandering spouse?

Orthello:

Why should I think that way? The major difference between a river and a sea depends on the nature of the water. One is salty while the other is fresh water.

So this is the first thing that came to your mind immediately you saw this topic?
.......but why are some people life filled with so much TRIBALISM this way.
Is this the way you live your life everyday?
DEEP TRIBALISM!
You deserve a 2nd chance to live o.
What a life!

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

Barryseal:
Why Ondo and not Onitsha?

izombie:
So all the coast line in south south is not good enough abi. We already have one in lagos, why build another one in ondo instead of the south south or even onitsha? One nigeria indeed.

Ikinternational:


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

Ebeano49:


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.

Shittynaija:

Warri and Calabar is just a damn waste of money. Calabar depth is just 6 m while warri is like 7m which requires constant dredging leading to high maintenance cost.

martineverest:
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

Dangote To Site $8bn Refinery In Olokola FTZ

Indications emerged on Wednesday that the $8bn refinery proposed by Africa’s richest man and President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, would be located at the Olokola Free Trade Zone, Ondo State.

A senior official of the company, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, told our correspondent that the refinery would be located in the OFTZ. One of the factors considered for the location of the refinery, according to the source, is that it is the biggest deep seaport in the country and other big industries are located there; besides, Ondo is one of the oil producing states in the country.

... Even if Aso Rock is taken to onitsha you guys will still be full of Hate, you already said Apc is an Islamic party nothing good comes out of it. Wait for Atiku OK.
As long as you continue playing politics like this expect nothing less when you loose. You can't eat your cake and have it.
Buhari invest in anywhere you want to as long as it's a National thing The revenue will soon be distributed amongst the state.

Keep quiet and wait for the Seaport first before blabbing in excitement..

You can reward buhari with RUGA in Ondo State if you like..

Bunch of fickle-minded beings

Look at this girl that thinks she said something smart.
Using your reasoning, Nigeria should pack out of SS oil wells abi? Smh
You failed logical thinking

dalass:

Countries that don't have oil wells are doing better than us...South West without the oil did great before the oil was discovered.
I wish the oil dries up quickly so we will see the region that will survive and thrive!
With the SS oil wells, how has that benefitted your bank account o , Mr logical thinking

Infinityk:

Google Onitsha port

NkemChukwudi:


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.
