But not good enough for commercial seaport. This is why no one should vote for business as usual.

Vote right
Vote with your conscience
Don't vote crooks

We did it because we don't want Igbo to take over our seaports.

Jonathan was president for 5yrs,yet could not make those ports viable, was it not last week a topic made on the low patronage the eastern airports are recieving from easterners, I thought easterners why shouting to high heavens on how they will turn the muritala airport to a redundant one when the Enugu airports where constructed .....the viability of the southwest is what is staring at you guys in the eye

The biggest challenge with the Eastern seaports is piracy. Rotimi Amaechi made that abundantly clear.

If you travel around the waters of Niger Delta and that of Lagos (I do that a lot), you will notice a significant difference. There are lots of marine police flying boats navigating across the waters of Niger Delta. On the flip side, you rarely see those in Lagos waters. That's because Lagos waters are not troubled.

No serious shipping company will use pirate-ridden waters when they have safer alternatives for achieving the same goal. The implication is that you rarely see cargo vessels going to Onne, Calabar and Warri seaports. Although local politics may be another factor, piracy is the major problem of using those ports.

Know this and know peace...

PS: I won't reply unreasonable mentions.

if nigeria is divided into two parts it will foster development

How about the Eastern minorities that are totally happy with providing pipeline security for the same forces that have turned their ports inactive for years? Meanwhile Niger Delta politicians are busy brandishing their socalled "political pact" with their "northern allies"! Take it or leave, the fact remains that the most confused set of Nigerians are the Eastern minorities and this is because the so called Niger Delta as a political blok doesn't exist. They seldom agree..Even the northern minorities are more organized than them.

Jonathan was there for 5 years, what did he do?

Lagos through Tinubu (Lekki Free Trade Zone) looked for investors in building a private port and now that’s a reality in Lekki port with the state government having stakes in it.

With the money states in the SS receives from the center, they should be able to do something closer to that but as usual let’s all blame Lagos for cornering everything like Lagos is the FG.

But oil tankers dare the socalled pirate infested waters? When did the southern coast become Somalia that cargo ships dread? I think Amaechi was not being truthful.
