The roads from Onne to Port Harcourt, to Aba, to Warri and to Owerri which are federal roads should be repaired.

The road to onne port is that bad now?

I think it should be made double lane( it's been long I went there)

Who are they deceiving? Lol! Is it not APM that runs Apapa wharf, and APM is the owner and parent company of Maersk Line? So they just want to control both ends, purely business, not like they want to do south south a favor.

This is just the beginning.

I wish Igboland had link with the Ocean, Lagos would have been forgotten.

Igboland has link na.

Didn't you people think about that before shouting that it is marginalization that made Igboland not to have a seaport.

kettykings:
I now realize why the md's wife might have been murdered some few weeks ago but does it have any correlation with the decision to port to onne port Harcourt .

Cargo freight from Europe to Lagos ports is higher than from Europe to the Eastern ports, but despite that, Lagos became the official port under the policy of cargo destination since Obasanjo government. The pressure on Lagos ports also led to the explosion and failure of support infrastructure. The limit of unfair policy regime and unfair market control is what we are experiencing now.”

So unfair business policy of Obasanjo government is the reason why igbos have been flooding lagos, people will come online and still blame igbos for flooding Lagos when all the while it was Obasanjo that used unfair business policy to cause it

what does the policy entail?

That's very good for the shipping line. Click on the links on my signature to master how you can make more than N3Million profit per plot from investing in the Ibeju Lekki plots of land.

I can see you are pain, wait for completion of warri port, concession of Onitsha port and Baro port which is very important and strategic to Igbos and North, North gradually cutting you guys down.

DCmonster:
Good development!

Gbamsolutely good great development.
Decongestion of Lagos is a necessity.

wristwatchiced:
We need more ports

What is the percentage utilisation of all the existing ports?

A really welcomed development

How about railways up to the ports?

Oga shut up, kano and kaduna doesn't have port and they are doing great

Doing great in what sense? Greater than rivers and delta or what?

They will soon run back to Lagos by the time Igbo people use scam to spoil their life and SS use kidnapping and hijacking to finish them.

Not bad news at all.
Revenue means equal expenditure to provide government services, utilities, facilities and infrastructures for the people who paid. Not so

in your dreams hahaha!!! i wonder what would happen to your brothers in Alaba? would they now ship from the east to sell in the west or they would vacate the market and relocate to the east? last last the west has the market and the ocean so whatever you like do the west is still winning, and last time i checked INTELS running onne is still co owned by Atiku , Volpi and Tinubu

and for your information this are the top shipping line still plying lagos

•Maersk Nigeria Limited. ...
•Delek Marine Services LTD. ...
•Antwerp Shipping Nigeria Limited. ...
•Balaguer Limited. ...
•Sifax Nigeria Limited. ...
•OceanGlory Commodities Limited. ...
•Derron Group. ...
•AdeLove Shipping

Port Harcourt is not safe for business, multiple taxation from different agencies, communities levies would be slammed on business every kilometers one moves, cultism and hoodlums have infested the state, these people hate investors with passion.

Great decision! Lagos port is a disaster.

We are our own problem. Politics is now the order of the day instead of common Sense. This reminds me of my working place, where I have been working for years with my people no growth and promotion, only for a white woman to come and change everything.

otuekong1:

most Igbo's thrives well outside igboland

And will not thrive well at home?

If i own a vessel, to be honest i won't trade the Nigerian route. The level of corruption of Port official coupled with the turn around time at the ports can make one go crazy. When they spoke about corruption i really thought they were going to touch key sectors. Maritime, oil and gas, power. These are the key sectors that can easily drive the economy. Not chasing people you cannot pin evidence on up and down.

Minding d fool.. Av been up north and I stay in d South u can't compare at all... The level of poverty in d north, Nimi u go run... Beggers from the beginning to d end... Some local government are IDPs in its natural look...

Good News, Seems like they are incurring demurage and can’t bear the waiting time anymore. Other Bigger Firms should join and utilize free ports that they can berth to ease operation and Quick turn around time.

Maritime industry shouldn’t be Politically twisted for regional or personal gain.

Which road will you use to evacuate the containers? This is another problem. No road from Port Harcourt to Aba.

You are insane, show me one place in Nigeria that is Crime Free,.. Nigeria as a country needs more than 10 functional And effective Ports in diverse areas, everything must not be Lagos that is Over congested, Ports need to spread across the nation.

Bukky244:
Everyone from SE/SS must support this and make it work. Everyone who wants the progress of that region must not attack their vessels on the high seas. They have always complained of security issues around that side. Its time to encourage them by showing that the region is safe to do business. Asari should speak to his people.

Thanks for this call-out and hoping SE/SS wil be wise to do the needful. It has never been an 'Asari should speak to his people' thing and if it was
, it's because of the negligence of political leaders for the fact that most of these ports are in south south; minority tribes of Nigeria. Thanks to the powers that be and to Maerskline for the re-think.
