it's all politics, if that is done, Lagos will fall.

Edenx:
NPA has granted full approval for the construction of the lekki deep sea port but giving excuses why the already made ports in the East is hard to manage. Who is fooling who? How long will this dilly dally last?

GoTV:
Until the east apologizes to other Nigerians on behalf of that greedy war lord called ojukwu who started the brutal war in our peaceful country, more and more benefits will keep eluding the east

Area4Area:
So the Edo should stop the Niger Delta thing and cling to the Yorubas but SE/SS can continue according to IPOBians, are the Igbos in any way related to the Ijaw?

freedomchild:
The main reason is due to shallowness of the seas to accommodate large vessels.
other reasons are mere propaganda

nabegibeg:
The main problem with these ports is that the river channels leading to them are too narrow to accommodate large vessels. The shipping companies find it more convenient to take their vessels to Lagos than to eastern sea ports.

Turantula:

My muslim friend, are you happy now?

Benoxvals:


I’m sure that you’ve never imported anything in Nigeria if u really think that importers control the sail direction of vessels.

Igbodicool:

Both nature and your silly Nigerian government have known and referred them as EASTERN.
Don't die on top Igbo matter because Igbo will continue to exist even after your death.

xaggar:


The Eastern ports aren't functional because of neglect by the federal government and your are asking a mere importer to develop it through it's usage. Your illiteracy stinks to the high heavens!

sogodihno:


Pls, tell me what revenue come from a 5 villages mud republic? And don't tell me oil, because even ondo produced 3 times of wat ur useless villages produce

Area4Area:
Of course the government but when the people to be protected by the government support the criminals, do you blame the government for not being able to do much?

Area4Area:
Why not blame eastern importers for not using eastern ports, why blaming the NPA as usual? Have you heard at any time that any ship was turned back from going to any eastern port and forced to offload in Lagos?

Read your post again because you just sound dumb. Do you advice the easterners to transport their goods through a waterway tha aint secured? Whose resposibility is to secure the waterways? Dont you think it was deliberately left unsecured for a reason? THINK B4 U WRITE.

alezzy13:


Your darling GEJ was in power for about 5 years with unprecedented flow of petrodollars. Why didn't he dredge it then?

RZArecta2:
Excuses excuses, Ibaka deep sea Port idea was completely abandoned simply because they’re a 5% state meanwhile there’s no need to dredge the channel there. Lagos on the other hand is pushing for two more seaports at Lekki and Badagry. It’s a simple fact that anything that’ll develop the SE and SS is being completely avoided by the demonic imbeciles in Aso Rock

stop saying trash. It's all political. These ports were fully functional before the Civil War. This is the same thing the fg is doing to the Eastern airports. Ethiopian airlines is been charged higher to operate from the akanu abiam Airport than Lagos and Abuja instead of keeping a flat rate and that has affected the ticket fee in return. Yet again, once it's time for Christmas celebration the fg will once more remember that there's a fault that needs to be resolved on the runway and shots it down so easterners coming from abroad will use other airports. IT'S ALL ECONOMIC SABOTAGE.

obailala:
Can you really substantiate this claim (in bold)?

GoTV:

CeterisXVII:


The guy is making sense. You are not. Onne port records the 2nd highest cargo traffic after Lagos sea ports.

Why are the importers from the East, not using it? Ships dock there on a daily basis. And the draft is NOT shallow. So why aren't they diverting their goods to Onne? Or isnt ONNE sea port located in the SS/SE axis, too?

gaetano:


Go to Twitter and read the thread that was sparked debate on April. https://twitter.com/NkirukaNistoran/status/1123112038614601729?s=19

But due to the envy and injustice against Eastern Nigeria NAHCO & AVIATION are charging ETHIOPIAN AIRLINE more tax in ENUGU than Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna and Kano. Now, the flight ticket from
ENUGU to GUANGZHOU (CHINA) N350,000
Lagos to GUANGZHOU N280,000
Abuja to GUANGZHOU N280,000

bigfrancis21:


Ojukwu started the war or Nigeria first launched the attack, thereby initiating the war?

All he did was to declare independence, it didn't call for initiating a war. It could have been resolved through other diplomatic means, especially if the Aburi accord was maintained as agreed to.
