What's the Economic Importance of the biggest container vessel berthing In Nigeria?

We're not exporting anything so it's not like it's going to be a win for us.

The federal Government of Nigeria will never allow any other sea port operate at 100% capacity in Nigeria apart from the ones in Lagos State. Akwa Ibom State have been trying for many years now to have a deep sea port that can have easy links to Sao Tome and Principe but this has not seen the light of the day just bcuz it's in the South South zone of Nigeria. It is well

7lives:


Your governors should do it, let them look for investors, oh that reminds me, the money spent on building that Akwa Ibom mega cathedral could have been spent on project like this.

International Seaports like international airports are not within the purview of state governors.

You should know this

TopBanter:


Have you not seen it already? The functional illiterates and lazily envious hacks, who will never take their leaders to task, have started complaining it is 'Lagos-focused favouritism' responsible for this Port.

Yet all informed Nigerians know that it is the innovation and determination of the leaders of the State to deploy PPP arrangement (private-public sector partnership) ,rather than wait indolently for the FG as their leaders love doing, that is behind all we are seeing from Lagos today to include the likes of Lagos metro rail another PPP project that is the first of it's kind in West Africa.

When the Lekki international airport is ready, another PPP project with no FG money involved, they will surely complain similarly of over-concentration of international airports in Lagos without understanding Lagos and the Southwest owe no other region nada and will not put their own drive for accelerated development, being secured with inspired leadership, on hold so other indolently misruled States can catch up.

These are the same people making a God out of the worthless Abaribe who has been in the Senate for 20 years yet does nothing other than wear "Dot in a circle" t-shirt up and down like a shameless agbaya.

Yet when the stupendous and superlative achievements of Gbajabiamila are highlighted here they will be first to ignore the projects, that will be of immense help to the people, to be asking where Vbaja got the money from.

I believe Nigeria is currently the SW and the rest of Nigeria today. Yoruba leaders know this too and this is why they are currently the most aggressive advocates of a return tonregional governance today.

Omo sound it loud and clear, Yorubas who have ears let them listen.
Imagine the wickedness, intellectually backward people crying all over cyber space because they felt they're being left behind.
Go and check why jamb was created and how our people begin to set up private Universities.
Then their fathers were rubbishing those private Universities calling them glorified secondary schools, but today we know how far.
If only the rest of SW are mature in their thinking like the ones in Lagos, this one wey Dem dey cry, they would have been committing suicide.
Only Abiola Ajimobi understands the plan, the rest are nicknames and aliases.
Imagine Mimiko playing ludo with a refinery.
Aregbesola bought into the idea, but pettyness got hold of him.
Our fathers Abraham Adesanya, Bola Ige, Pa Adekunle Ajasin, all of blessed memories already told this current generation of Yoruba leaders, that they should bond together to move the SW forward, this is the reason behind DAWN.
These elders did their best and they were severally punished for it, guess those dishing out the punishments?, the grandparents of those wailing and gnashing their teeth today, they hid under the North to perpetuate those evils.
They can't stop us, their hate and envy didn't stop us in the past, how can their hate stop us now.
The reason they cried is because they knew they've been left behind, they'll prefer to bond with us but no, Oju ti la.
Can the same snake bite a man twice?, I don't think so.

More grease to Lagos Elbows. A testimony to what inspired leadership can achieve amongst abject mediocrity and misrule.

Incisive post and a nice read. Our detractors are simply a very unreasonable, dishonest and pettily hateful people.

They will always claim favoritism towards Lagos exist as an excuse for the superiority of Lagos above their moribund States while ignoring the worthlessness of the leaders they voted into power.

Same Lagos Neglected under OBJ, from 1999, and other PDP President till 2015 Buhari became APC President they now claim benefitted from FG partisanship.

Yet not a single one of them will ever acknowledge knowing what PPP ,is i.e Publc-private sector partnership is in confirmation of their total and irredeemable dishonesty and hatred,

Yet, and I challenge all forum members to indulge me, it will be much easier counting the superlative and major projects or planned projects in Lagos today that have not been PPP funded with nada to do with the FG.

Brother, is it Eko Atlantic that FG delivered for Lagos? The Lagos metro rail that is a first in West Africa nko? LFTZ,Lekki deep sea port? Planned Lekki international airport? Planned fourth mainland bridge?

Is is then not hateful and disingenuous to be shouting "federal government favoritism" towards Lagos, anytime one of these projects are mentioned, when a wise man should know what PPP means?

This is why I am known here for calling them a sadist. They no longer care about the development of their States and region. All they wish to do is focus on Lagos malevolently and sit, like jobless trolls, waiting for any news about Lagos they can swarm in to attack with negativity.

I love your point about the lack of maturity in leadership thinking beyond Lagos. Where it not so, these haters will be crying do much today that many will be hospitalised daily.

This is because DAWN has already provided a comprehensive and well-enunciated path for the rapid development of the SW leaders outside Lagos are failing to aggressively key into and implement when they would be the ones to fail most from leveraging on the power, energy and opportunities of Lagos.

For example, London is like the Lagos of Nigeria. Many who live outside London commute from distances like Ogun to Lagos and Ibadan to Lagos daily to work and return home because of an efficient and reliable train network.

DAWN precisely advocates for this linked rail system to boost regional productivity via the optimal and efficient movement of good and services throughout the SW.

So much undeveloped and untapped potentials indolent leadership has grounded in several SW States bar Lagos.let us hope Tinubu will assist aiding more regional autonomy as that will immensely help to wake up some lazy administrstors to their duties and responsibility to the people.

As for the haters, we know why they hate and understand they will continue to hate.

I am no absolutist but I fear you may be one. I sincerely hope you are not one of those[b] who insinuate that Bola Tinubu found Lagos as a virgin and unknown forest in 1999 and made it what it is today. [/b]

You vastly underestimate the importance of the fact of Lagos having been the capital of this country from 1914 till 1991.
Indeed, for you, there is a special breed of people who live in Lagos, who are probably not Nigerians, and whose special vision and intellect is solely responsible for all that Lasgidi is.

Its diverse pan-Nigerian population of over twenty million people has nothing to do with it. Its situation as Nigeria's capital for almost a century has nothing to do with it. The resources and economic energies of two hundred million plus people who deal around it as their economic nerve centre has nothing to do with it. The petro dollars that were responsible for much of its development have nothing to do with it - in fact, whatever it receives as Fed allocation up till date from oil revenue contributes diddly squat. Its location on the coast and consequent designation from the time of the Portuguese as gateway to the lands that became Nigeria has nothing to do with it. Its international stature as the melting pot of the largest black nation on Earth has nothing to do with it.

No - all these have nothing whatsoever to do with it - it is all down to the great vision and leadership of one man - Bola Tinubu, before whom, Lagos was a small and unknown coastal village.

PS: Whoever you are, you cannot possibly be more Lagosian than I am - nor can you love Lasgidi more than I do.

How you could read my last sentence and still think everything is about "Tinubu" shows your level of reasoning
Does "Tinubu " sums up past leaders, before Tinubu we had amazing leaders in Lagos and post Tinubu we have wonderful governors ...

Your problem is Tinubu and you singled out Tinubu becos you know his blueprints is the bedrock of lagos current transformation you are just tew petty to admit it

Lagos is not the only state on the coastal line and nothing is stopping PH or calabar from recieving ship consignments if they want

Having a functioning sea port still boils down to effective Management in place, others state have seaport but only lagos is working shows "Human/govt Effort" is sancrosanct to economic expansion & growth

When other states are busy doling out excuses & using FG to cover for their inadequacies & cluelessness to run a seaport, Tinubu conceived Lagos seaport without FG and you think Honor should not be given to whom it due,

Its convenient to blame Tinubu for all the problems of Nigeria presently but you can not give BAT credit for a vision well implemented in lagos, what does that make you

Listen, bro, that your Parent is from Lagos or you are from Lagos only means you are a Lagosian by place of birth, there are patriot and there are bastards

BadBradley:
International Seaports like international airports are not within the purview of state governors.

You should know this

So the Lekki seaport built by Lagos state government is for Local errands abi, the biggest ship that just berth at the lekki seaport is not international

They will keep undermining every progress Lagos make with "Former Capital" But it quick to defend their clueless state governors incompetence blaming FG

Refinery that Nigeria/FG made look like Mission impossible, that wasnt within "Purview of FG" was built by an individual with the support of Lagos state government, what 36states can't put head together to do yet you are here blowing grammar

LAGOS was never the capital of NIGERIA since 1914. get your fact right and stop misleading people （to score a cheap point） as NIGERIA gained independence only in 1960 and that was when LAGOS officially became the capital . What happened in 1914 was just amalgamation which was based on the percieved inter-relationship between the tribes in today's NIGERIA, especially where trade, religion and marital alignment are concerned. And moreover, each region still operated and improved its economy and development respectively independently without assistant-resources from another EVEN BEYOND NIGERIA INDEPENDENCE TILL 1966 WHEN STVP!D IRONSI broke the regional government for a central UNITARIAN government so please don't make it look like LAGOS was developed by the general common wealth since 1914 WHEN THE SAME LAGOS WAS FAR AHEAD OF OTHER PLACES EVEN BEFORE AMALGAMATION IN DEVELOPMENT AND CIVILITY IN RAIL AND BRT TRANSIT, ELECTRIFICATION, PORTS SYSTEM, BANKING SECTOR, EDUCATION AND HEALTH FACILITIES etc.

Please let's stop making unguarded fact to justify personal opinion. LAGOS WAS MET BY NIGERIA AS ONE OF THE BEST PLACE TO BE IN AFRICA.

ALWAYS giving false excuses for their inadequacies. They never care to hold their leaders responsible, yet the leaders in LAGOS who were striving hard to better the lives of their people are always the ones getting the blame, not forgetting the far away FG.

DeepSight:


So according to you colonies didnt have capitals before independence? You are frankly illiterate.

SO because colonies have capital base now meant NIGERIA had existed prior to independence or has it now meant that the state resources that LAGOS state was developing on until the termination of regional government in 1966 had suddenly become NIGERIA common wealth？ Or what the he11 is wrong with you guys？

These are lame Arguement that holds no water, Can any you tell us how FG is an hinderance to other state running a sea port

For whatever its worth, you ought to have read my post in the light of yours talking about how Lagos becoming the economic nerve centre of Nigeria was down to deliberate effort to make it so by creating "an enabling environment."

That is just tosh. Lagos is the economic nerve centre of Nigeria because it was its capital for almost a century and significant Federal concentration was placed here along with the peoples, energies and resources accumulated from all over this country.

Good day again, non-bastardo.

I don't normally converse with tribal bots who pretend to be patriots.

Lagos is former federal capital territory and already had a functioning international seaport. The water in lekki isn't different from the one in apapa. It's same function and same toll of establishment.

Be patriotic, stop colouring everything from your thin narrow-mindededness of tribal leaning.
