FatherOfJesus:
Then you must obviously be a very naive person.
Browse about Tianjin seaport in China, it is the 4th largest and busiest seaport in the world, it is 100km aware from the shores.

Let me put it into perspective, 100km is about double the distance from port Harcourt to Aba.
Maybe you are a yoruba person, you people hardly understand geography, 100km is like from Lagos to Ijebu-ode.

Abia state has a border that is less than 30km from a the sea shores and a river that connects directly to the sea with a distance of less than 50km.

While I think that Abia state does not really need a seaport now, Onne seaport can serve but it is foolhardy to think that a seaport cannot be built in Abia if the political will ensues.

Thanks for schooling that illiterate

Most people don’t even know what sea port is what dept of water b4 ship can berth on ur shoreline


River is not sea ooooo just like wanting port in jos ogun or Kogi it’s waste of funds you go drill tire big ship can’t berth on such
Except for recreational activities

Support sea port in akwa ibom and ph

Propaganda

muykem:
Seaport in landlocked state. What a joke?

TrustNone:
which seaport? Abi ship wan go berth for stream?
Your moniker says it all

TrustNone:
azumini Is a stream and a ship can never berth there

Coldspice:


Them say them wan dredge am make container ships dey berth there.

Landlocked people that their first sight of the ocean is in Lagos.

Tianjin seaport in China said I should ask you to shut up.
Suez Canal was dry land that got dredged but now it's one of the most important shipping lanes in the world, and it can handle just 1 ship at a time. It's around 190km long, longer than the distance of the azumini river from the Atlantic Ocean to aba.

I don't know why any talks of ships in the SE gets y'all frothing at the mouth

Why do y'all claim Lagos but try to force a dicotomy between other region?
Your concept of "states" is merely an imaginary boundary, there's hardly difference between people in 1 state and people in the next state who share common boundary. Have you been to ikot ekpene; Abia State boundary with akwa Ibom? People on either side speak same language.

The northerns understand this better, that's why Buhari never forgets his cousins in Niger republic

What's the important of building airport that won't generate revenue to the state. Building an airport that lacks passenger on daily basis.

That's how Umahi wasted Ebonyi State money to build Airport that I don't see it usefulness till date.
Aba is close to PH, so Port harcourt airport should serve for them, while Umuahia is close to Owerri so Owerri airport should serve for them.

Let him use the money and build another infrastructure in Abịa. Human capital development will be good for him to establish on, atleast to curb out poverty rate in the state by making almost everybody to be occupy with one thing or the other that will fetch huge money for them in return.

Abia is not your mate. Face front aboki.

It is not that close

The airport is not even in Port Harcourt
It is nearly Two hours drive

Why are you guys entertaining this Absolute caveman stark illiterate. The is the federal Republic of Nigeria once the federal government okays for a port to be situated in Abia state that is the only permission that is needed. Same way No permission is required from state govs when federal roads and highways are built. Anyone suggesting such is either very ignorant or being mischievous. The land and Rivers within the territory of Nigeria is owned by the Federal Government. The Azumini River itself is neither in Rivers nor akwaibom rather it is used as the landmark that differentiates both states. There is nothing wrong with having multiple ports within the same Area. There are three ports sited within lagos state alone. If a Private investor or Group of private investors who wanted to Invest in a seaport are only willing to invest if it were to be built in Abia State maybe because of proximity to their other investments within the State or whatever other reason then it is still a welcomed development. The people of Abia RIvers and Akwaibom stand to benefit immensely from any port sited in that area as it will created hundreds of thousands of Jobs for people living within that axis. Azumini RIver is 39km from the Ocean, Onne Port is about 25km from Ocean and was also dredged when it was being conceived at inception. Its only an illiterate tribalist hater that sees borders or tribes when talk about a port being sited in the area is Brought up. The common man only understands that a place of immeasurable job opportunities is cited within their axis and they can now go there and source for their daily bread.

For the record you will continue to be a Poor wretched dog shit eating loser, whose children if intelligent will walk away from unless you unshackle your self from your self inflicted chains of tribalism.

The fact that some people actually believed that a seaport could be built in Abia state baffles me... Is there any state in Nigeria that has a seaport without a sea? Some people think they can dredge the ocean from Niger Delta into the SE, it's all just comical...

Anyways, I think Otti is an honest man. He debunks all lies told on his behalf by overzealous party fanatics. The Geometric power plant issue comes to mind...

Your ignorance is obvious because you don't know that Abia State has easy but in Ukwa West or Ukwa East LGA which was used to bring in heavy equipment during the time of obasanjo and all it needs is an upgrade.

There was a time the Federal government to brought in some heavy equipment and it was too heavy for the bridge in Oyigbo in Rivers State yo carry so they decided that the riverport in Abia State be used to bring in the equipment and that was it

Is onitsha port in anambra not a river Port and the baro Port in Niger state also not a river Port?

If Abia state don't need an Airport or a Seaport then Onne Seaport and Calabar Seaport shouldn't have also been built since Onne and Calabar is close likewise Owerri Airport and Enugu Airport shouldn't have also been built!

This is the most unintelligent comment I've ever come across, go to the US or UK see if you can count the numbers of International, private and local Airports available.

LOL bad belly because I told you facts? You people really hate the truth...

You have neigbours with seaports, Lagos is also in the southern part, you don't have any ocean in the east, it is the most FOOLISH thing in the world for Igbos to think a seaport is their problem!

Ask for good rail networks, dry ports etc, those are realistic projects. Every state cannot have a seaport, stop being naive!

Anyways, I'm done replying you. You can keep talking to yourself.

Imoh/Imo River is another river entirely, not even Azumini that we're discussing. It only empties into the Atlantic Ocean when it gets to Akwa Ibom... Like I said earlier, Akwa Ibom has a functional seaport, any replication of such in a neighboring state is a wasteful and unrealistic project to say the least. It's like Oyo state asking for seaport when it's already available in Lagos state...

If not because of deeply rooted secessionist agenda, why should that be an agenda for the SE when the North central, NE, NW all do not have ports and are all working since we have ports in Lagos and SS?

Please is good we have our own
By the way your people do not like us
And secession is a fundamental human right

These half baked reporters should learn new and appropriate words to use instead of some derogatory words being used here almost everytime. Which one is denied

What happened to rebut ?

• Yorubas don't like you at all, you're the ones who like them, the people you call ndi ofe mmanu, agbero, dirty and all sorts of silly names to their face, simply because you live in their lands and you know they're peaceful. You love them so much. 😒

• Yorubas don't like you but every Saturday one Bayo is marrying one Chioma. 😏

• Yorubas don't like you, yet majority of the income being spent in the East is coming from Igbo settlers based in Lagos and other parts of the South West. 😏

• Yorubas don't like you, yet their region is the only place outside the South East where your people are most comfortable and have settled peacefully for decades... 😏

• Yorubas don't like you, but they patronise all your businesses based in their land, without any form of discrimination. 😏

Nonsense statement. Abia state does not need airport because it’s neighbouring states have airport? so if u are going to Abia via air, you will stop at any of those states then take a bus and spend several houra before getting to Abia?
Abia is a state and each state should have their airport.

santaclaws:


I just debunked this on my previous post where I copied you, though the response wasn't meant for you originally.

You cannot dredge the Atlantic ocean across the length of 2 states, it has a vast ecological and fiscal implication, especially since Akwa Ibom, Rivers already have ports close to the SE. The reason most of you are bent on this is because of secession... You believe that's the only thing you need to be self-sufficient, whereas, nobody made the SE geography but God himself.

While it's an impossible mission to dredge the ocean into the SE, if such did happen, when ocean levels rise, your region may be entirely submerged. You may think lightly of this, but it's not a joke... Also, the amount of financial resources it would take is something that would never be worth such an investment even in the long run.

The wise thing for your region to demand is a good rail network and working dry ports in each state... But I know this argument won't end.

I hoped you get paid for this consultancy services, 'cause they don't deserve it.
Let them end up landless, let the ocean finish the work started by erosion, let them dredge their land.
People that don't appreciate what God has given them will eventually end up with nothing.
Leave them jor.

They're marrying your people (both male and female) because our culture doesn't discriminate like yours. Same way Yoruba muslims marry Hausa and Fulani without fear of discrimination.

Women having yam legs, hairy chest and beards aren't features we consider beauty in Yoruba land, maybe that's beauty to y'all. If it's beauty and curves, leave it for Yoruba women.

As for your businesses, we will continue to patronize you cos we have nothing against you... But your people have a very small piece of the pie. Look at the info I attached for you, these are the biggest stores in Lagos... Yorubas have classier, richer businesses.

LOL, nobody is being emotional here but you, I only spoke hard facts, backed up with evidence.

Most of you Igbos falsely believe you're the only ones with business acumen just because you dominate the spare part market, electronics and okrika/used clothes business.

Business is way more than buying and selling but I respect the Igbo hustling spirit... Either ways, nobody kept you guys in Nigeria, y'all are free to leave.
