OsunOriginal: There's nothing you have typed that has negated the information in my post which you quoted. You only ended up proving me right. The problem is that many Tinubu urchins have tried to give the impression that this port is strictly a Lagos state govt initiative executed by the Lagos state govt. They also try to tie it to Tinubu. But that is far from the truth. The port was initiated and is being developed by a private Singaporean company. The Lagos state govt and the FG (NPA) own 20% and 5% shares in the venture respectively |

CheapHomes1:Thank God you at least admitted the Lagos State govt own 20% of the venture. A foreign firm can only invest with a cooperative and optimistic govt like Lagos State govt under Tinubu and his successors, which gave them the enabling environment. Why didn't they go to the "heaven" Peter Obi created in Anambra? I believe they don't want to be beheaded. I seriously don't understand the hatred you guys have for Yorubas despite being the freedom you enjoy there. |

A significant cause of congestion is fragmentation Any small trader in Nigeria can bring in one container. So you have thousands of different players bringing in stuff every day If there was consolidation with a few dozen major importers who have their own storage and logistics arrangements there would be better coordination and fewer snarls on the road. It is is important with containers to use the dry dock model linked to rail that way customs checks do not have to happen in Lagos It is just a question of efficiency Ethiopia with 120 million people has no port. Not one |

LeoDeKing: Before losing your mind just be aware those images were all artists' paintings, not actual pictures. The Lekki seaport is still on the drawing board. Without adequate electricity, those cranes on the painting will never work. THose cranes need a lot of electricity to magnetize in order to be able to offload containers. |

Maybe I'm from Lagos, maybe I'm not. Not really interested in putting that detail here. However, I'm not sure what that has to do with facts. Singapore doing more shipping than lagos as your example is a bit of a problem because their situation is far from ideal, which is what lagos also suffers from. Their traffic situation is horrible and population density, worse than lagos is nowhere close to what the optimum human population density. So, its envious to point out that you should not have 20million people living in the smallest state in nigeria, where you have excessive land mass that facilities can spread out to?? Again, lagos is collapsing under its weight. aribisala0: |
Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by aribisala0(m): 12:31pm On Jul 04, 2022 |
litaninja:You do not have 20 million people living in Lagos because of a port. That is nonsense. The simple reason is Lagos is doing better economically . Now if other states are not doing well , not creating jobs etc then people will gravitate to where there are opportunities whether it be oil industry or whatever else it is that makes a local economy grow. The ports in Lagos have remained the same for the past more than 30 years. THAT HAS NOT CHANGED Lagos was not the most populous state 30 years ago when it was capital and since then no new port has arrived in Lagos So your attribution to the Port has no logical basis. London is the most populous UK city because of the concentration of Capital in London The Port of Felixstowe is the busiest port in the UK and few people have heard of Felixstowe The population is less than 30000 people The Busiest port in Europe is Rotterdam. Far busier than Lagos It has 1 Million people there Singapore's population is not because it has a busy port. It has the second busiest port in the world second only to Shanghai The busiest port in the USA is the Port of Los Angeles with less than 4 million people Your connection of Port activity to population is not borne out by evidence The fundamental driver of Lagos State population AFTER IT CEASED TO BE CAPITAL is that wealth is being created in Lagos State more than in other states leading to an influx of low income workers like okada riders e.g. If other states were working as they should we would not be in this situation Ethiopia is landlocked with 120 million and doing fine |
Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by litaninja(m): 4:03pm On Jul 05, 2022 |
Yup. The the sustained population growth in lagos has nothing to do with fact that lagos has the only working port in Nigeria and is the route for goods coming in and leaving the country. Right. You just randomly pick cities and say the port is this and that. Does Europe have only one port? I won't pull myself down to your level with insults, but I really hope you didn't pay good money to study business or economics and still can't understand the influence of a state with the only accessible port in a country of 200 million people. Cheers. aribisala0: |

Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by aribisala0(m): 4:51pm On Jul 08, 2022 |
litaninja:Which goods leave the country through Lagos? Lagos is not the only working port in Nigeria. Onne is a massive port doing huge business The Federal Government approved new ports in Ibom Warri Lekki Bonny It is for the state governments to work to make it happen like LASG . The ports are approved and licensed and need FUNDING> Since you are prepared to lie to score cheap points there is not much to be gained engaging you. Lagos had a port 30 years ago when Abuja became Capital . It was not the most populous state then. It is the same port. Again The busiest port in the UK is Felixstowe a place most people have never heard of with a population under 50000. Your logic about port and population is twisted These are facts not sentiments. The population of Lagos has ben exploding since 1999 and a fundamental reason is other states are failing to create jobs and wealth. Are the millions of people trooping into Lagos exporters or importers? Why were they not coming when the Federal Capital was in Lagos State? Lagos State quite simply attracts virtually all the NON-OIL related investment in the country, has almost all the manufacturing ,Now Dangote Refinery, Fertilizer and a lot more that are not Port related . People are trooping to Lagos State because the state is working . |
Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by litaninja(m): 6:22pm On Jul 08, 2022 |
Approved and exist are not the same thing sir. Nigeria has total electricity generating capacity of 10,000MW, oya on light for your house na. Same story with the ports. Say na massive business. Onne is doing massive business, yet trucks are sitting standstill on the roads and bridges leading to apapa? aribisala0: |
Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by aribisala0(m): 8:44pm On Jul 08, 2022 |
litaninja:Clearly you did not read what you quoted The FG approved all those ports. The FG is not paying for ANY of them The FG is not paying ONE KOBO for this port at Lekki The State government worked to get investors. Those ports do not exist because there is no money and not because anyone is obstructing them. LASG went out and found people to finance this why can't others LOOK AT THIS If the other ones do no exist then that is the problem of those state governments not working as they should. It there are trucks on roads and bridges that is not a problem of the ports but rather the evacuation infrastructure i.e. roads or rail. The evacuation infrastructure for Apapa was built over 40 years ago and has not seen fresh investment .There is no rail. If there was rail then there could and should be an inland dry dock outside Lagos where Customs and other checks happen. Whether it is Onne Warrri Bonny or Ibom a port alone is not enough.There is need for evacuation infrastructure from the ports to the hinterland. The equipment at Apapa and Tin Can is outdated and cannot process a large number of containers like the new cranes delivered at Lekki It is clear you do not understand the issues. It is important to do so before talking about solutions One single port with the right evacuation infrastructure can serve the whole country and even some of our neighbour. |

Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by litaninja(m): 9:45pm On Jul 08, 2022 |
This thing doesn't need all the english you're stressing yourself to type. The new equipment, large number of containers and the new cranes delivered at lekki will go through an overpopulated state with no infrastructure that can barely hold itself up. Simply put those new cranes, ports and large number of containers IN OTHER PARTS OF NIGERIA. Do you understand that? aribisala0: |
Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by aribisala0(m): 9:59pm On Jul 08, 2022 |
litaninja:WHO should put them in other states? This is a private investment do you understand that? Actually it is also clear you do not understand the issues ? What has population got to do with anything here? Also you do not understand the geography of Lagos State, Containers leaving Lekki will pass through Epe and not a so called overcrowded state. They will be at Ijebu Ode in 1 hour by road Containers can be evacuated from Lekki by rail tracks which has nothing to do with road networks I am beginning to think your motivation is not rational and is just driven by Envy and hatred for Lagos You stubbornly reject the evidence from the UK that has a port in Felixstowe that has equivalent annual tonnage to Tin Can Island. Its population is under 50000 and Rotterdam that is THIRTY TIMES Tin Can in tonnage with just 1 million people Your obsession with ports and population is not based on anything rational By your logic because Lagos has high population no one should invest there.? Or is it just port business you oppose? Is there any evidence associating ports with crowd or population that does not apply to other types of investment? Because a woman is fine we should cap the number of suitors so that ugly ones can have? |
Re: Buhari Welcomes Berthing Of First Ship At $2 Billion Lekki Deep Sea Port by litaninja(m): 12:28am On Jul 09, 2022 |
A private investment with the capacity to worsen the conditions in the state shouldn't get the go-ahead to be established. That's what you're not getting. So all containers coming in via the port will head to ijebu-ode? To do what? Those flimsy epe roads are the roads tonnes of containers are going to roll over? The rail netowk you're talking about, where is it? Lagos is putting the cart before the horse. Don't worry, in 2 - 3 years, I'll quote you on this thread. Lol. aribisala0: |
