Yorubas should continue to stand aside and watch Fulani incompetents run down NPA..........if na Igbo matter now dem go sharp mouth!

Tell the Government in those state to be creative like Lagos.

Lagos State facilitated the creation of the Lekki Deep Sea Port. The Port is privately owned for at least 45 years.

Shareholding thus;
China Harbour and Tolaram 75%
Lagos state is 20%
Federal Government is 5%

Therefore, it's not the federal government building the Lekki deep sea port. They only have shares because of the law enabling federal through NPA that territorial sea belong to federal Government. That's the only reason that federal government is involve.

If you must know, Lagos state has many of such Private partnership initiatives she earns percentages from. While Lagos government is being creative, your governors are lazing around waiting for FG to everything for them.

What stops River states from partnering foreign investors to build rifinery
While they earn certain percentage from the deal. Lagos is not your mate.

Respect Lagos, Respect Tinubu the visionary leader.

UmehzEmmanuel:
While Southern ports remain neglected.

Nigeria, where do we go from here?

Govocrete:
What happen to Warri and Onne port that we need to wait until Lekki Deep Seaport is ready.

The same way, we cannot make Warri and Port Harcourt refinery work fully, we are waiting for Dangote refinery.

Equality for our citizenry will go a long way to achieving peace.

bastardson:
No longer interested at what will be done.. I want more of what is happening..

What about traffic congestion this might cause at Lekki axis ?

martins21:
Nice development but why can’t they be a fully functional port in Rivers state.

seunaj:
Lekki Deep port to the rescue. As long as it's still Lagos, no pressure. Ẹ̀kọ́ ò ní bàjé ooo

Tinubu has sold Yoruba coast to fulani. They took one fulani out and replaced with another fulani MD. Very soon Yoruba will be forbidden from worshipping Olokun and Yemoja.

stepaside2:

Thanks for this post. States need to put on their thinking caps and attract investments themselves very much like Lagos is doing. Akwa Ibom is another state thinking in that direction - the Ibom deep sea port is unfolding while BUA's 200k bbl/d refinery is going ahead. When Ibom deep sea port starts operations and attracts shippers and other operators to its ports, Calabar, Warri, PortHarcourt and possibly Onitsha ports may still be there screaming marginalisation and underutilisation. Let them put on their thinking caps and do the needful

Titogbanski:


Cross River State was creative and set up TINAPA as a free trade zone. It has not worked till today because of FG stumbling block.

So it is not a thinking cap matter. It is a political matter.

It also has to be a deliberate FG policy to have Ports in other part of the country work

dwas:


You are ignorant. The Lekki deep sea port will be run by China Harbour not NPA or Lagos State. However, as Regulatory authorities just like telecom is being regulated by NCC, NPA will regulate the China Harbour.

NPA will only get 5% of the profit while Lagos the initiator will get 20% of the profit. The rest 75% go the tolaram group and china harbour the investors

[s][/s]We would take total control of our ports, the problem was brought about by brother who introduced Unitary system, Nerverless we would control our land, shorelines and ports just a matter of time.

ebufa:





Stop historical revisionism, it is not good for your intellectual honesty and reputation! Ironsi suspended the civilian administration apparatus and appointed military admins for the extant 4 REGIONS in 1966........Gowon on the other hand abolished the 4 Regional structures and created 12 STATES in 1967 instigating the civil war...........how hard is that for you to decipher! It is this yoruba tendency to obscure clear arguments that is so annoying about them!

jneutron4000:
Ironsi pull down Regionalism we all sat down and agreed on, stop trying to defend his atrocity. Every other thing that Gowon and the rest did is secondary, the Major problem started with decree 34 ocustrated by professor Ben Nwabueze and forced on us by Aguiyi Ironsi, the fraudulent 1999 constitution as amended is a Unitary system that gives right for our ports, Niger Delta oil etc to be controlled by the government at the centre, that was what Nnamdi Azikwe wanted before Independence so he signaled and supported Aguiyi Ironsi to pull down Regionalism.

ebufa:



you are still lying.......military governments always rule by decree...especially the first few decrees abolishing civilian political posts and power....however when civil rule returns, these decrees are abrogated and are done away with but when you completely restructure it is harder to pull down structures like states, even a full-fledged military government will find it difficult to abolish a 12 state structure to revert back to a 4 regional structure.............the ironsi decree was bad o but it is Gowon that buried federalism! you know it but you just want to win an argument1

jneutron4000:
You think you can exclude Ironsi in the dismantling of the first Republic just because he is an Igbo man? No way he is the foundation of the problems we are facing today, he pretendes he knew nothing about the coup then he went straight to attack the constitution, he introduced Unitary decree making Nigeria non negotiable, you are blindly arguing that he appointed 4 military regional heads, of course will he be in different regions at the same time . This is Azikwe's interview after the coup stating that power should be given to Ironsi, even trying to denial that it was not a coup to show it was Igbo's game plan to upturn the style of government and introduced Unitary system with the aim they will rule and dominate others, Already there are massive Igbo populations in North and their have dominated the civil service also in the west, the only impediments is the political structure, at least we all saw Azikwe dragging with Awolowo in Ibadan for leadership position in the west, so the aim of the coup is to destroy the regional government and introduced Unitary system, exactly what Aguiyi Ironsi did, so trying to shift the blame is just you being dishonest.

WE HAVE GIVEN BIAFRANS/IPOBIANS OLOKUN AND YEMOJA SINCE THEY’RE JEWISH IDOL WORSHIPPERS. THE KIND REVENUE LAGOS WILL GET IN FEW YEARS WILL COMPETE WITH NIGERIA NATIONAL REVENUE AND THE WHOLE OF SOUTHWEST WILL BE POSITIVELY IMPACTED.

YOU CAN ADD OLOKUN AND YEMOJA TO YOUR CHILDREN IN IGBOLAND. WEREY

ebufa:




you are the naive one...! are you aware that the Nigerian government can expropriate the whole lekki port concession..........that is how powerful and influential home governments can be! Mcdonalds suspended services and operations in 500 outlets in response the Russian government took over the whole 500 outlets and renamed and rebranded the whole business.............Fulani will constrain and hamper dem somehow but I pray for the best............ The Fulani whole spiritual ambience is like a damp blanket, it is suffocating and oppressive! you just feel the occultic influence immediately your plane enters the nigerian airspace! I look at OBJ's administration with even nostalgia...............the yoruba political and economic elite has been put to sleep.........how can they allow Nigeria to descend to such depths of despair!

dwas:


Don't excuse the lazy governor with expropriation. Federal government can't just expropriate state property. By the way, the land belong to the state as enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria.

Even if it's so, at the least, let them bring in investor first, if Federal stop the investment, it will be on record.

ebufa:










Where in the world does a man or tribe plot a coup to throw themselves out of power...........that does not make any sense at all! its like tinubu plotting to impeach Buhari and Osinbajo...........No,I will talk about facts that are open to public or empirical inquiry! your so called Igbo coup also had at least 3 yoruba officers out of 15 or so principal plotters............you and I were not there during the plotting of the coup to be sure of its true intent but if I were to hazard a guess, I will opine that the coup was a handiwork of western intelligence especially the British Mi5.........unlike what you think,the coup was not sectional as such but was planned and executed to appear so! the intent was to stop a rising Nigerian economy powered by Awolowo in the 50s and Opara in the eastern region in the early to mid-60s........... Opara was a fantastic visionary and he took all the right economic decisions...........you need to understand the ways of western nations especially Europe.............. Europe will rather deal with a backward Africa led by a retrogressive bunch than allow Africa to thrive under visionaries like Opara or Awo!

To confirm what I am posting.....just look at what the west is doing in Ukraine, most casual observers will think the crisis is all about Russia and Ukraine but I can tell you the whole Ukraine crisis is about stopping a runaway China and its advanced economy! you need to think out of the box....the yoruba vs Igbo palaver was contrived and is perpetuated by the western nations...you can take that to the bank!

Freak! Lagos generate revenue for who exactly? This is what they feed you. Lagos generates revenue, yet indigenes of Lagos have no voice or authority over Lagos. What is benefit of the revenue generated in Lagos but used to fund projects and scholarship in Sokoto and Zamfara?

jneutron4000:
hahaha, MI5 did not see any other ethic group to use except Igbos right Even though Azikwe was caught up in mismanagement of NCNC funds, Nevertheless the Igbos already had their aim and objective to dominate others, Azikwe state of the Union address in Aba, he clearly stated that Igbos will take the post of the colonial government, that was why he was pushing for one Nigeria under Unitary system.
Did M15 also executed the killing of prominent political and Military leaders in the North, West and mid west? Leaving the likes of Michael Opara and Denis chukwu Osadebe ( premier of the midwest) ? See every other ethic group know the truth, so you can't change the narrative to make to exclude Aguiyi Ironsi who destroyed regional government.

ebufa:




Oga, go and sleep our discourse has degenerated into a snooze fest! You lack the mental strength to engage in any meaningful dialogue, its like talking to a mean spirited woman suffering painful monthly cramps.........your bitterness is a dampener! bye bye

ALSO, GOING BACK THERE WILL BE MUDDY FOR YOU WHEN YOU ALLOWED YOUR DRUNK IGBO ELECTED LEADERS STEAL YOUR FUTURE AWAY. DON’T REGRET . AS FOR ME, I GOT NO WHERE TO GO NA LAGOS DO OR DIE. THAT’S MY HOMELAND AND THE FINANCIAL HQ OF YORUBALAND.

BE KIND TO ANY YORUBA PERSON YOU MEET IN SW/LAGOS BECAUSE YOU MAY NEED THEM PROCESSING YOUR VISA SOON. IMMIGRATION OFFICERS CAN USE THEIR DISCRETIONS JUST LIKE US EMBASSY.
