Niger Delta is part of the Yorubaland so your comparison is meaningless.

ualitatively The Shoreline of Yorubalan is the best for sea ports:Direct access to the sea with few mangroves and creeks.The Shoreline of Ondo state is the longest in the country and the best suited for Sea ports.

Stop hiding behind what she wrote. Write your own and put verifiable links that show this policy of strangulation!! Nothing in her post indicates that. It's hearsay which I've never heard before and needs verification.

To show how wicked your heart is, you accused sick yaradua who spent less than 2 years of promoting the marginalization yet you didn't mention Jonathan who spent 5 years with Diezani as transport minister for sometime.

diadem10:
Oil palm was also produced in the west, Ondo state to be precise. So you should be the one to get your fact right.

When we combine revenues from Cocoa, limestone, timber and palm oil, I see nothing comparable from what the east produce. Should I remind you it was Zik who clamoured for 1 nigeria even when the North and the west opposed them? Why did you think he did this? Because the then eastern part had little revenues.

honeychild:
This guy. Forced by whom? In 2016 I had to import some books from China. My shipper had both options. Onne and Lagos. I spoke to CFI a clearing agent based in Port Harcourt. They assured me I could import to Onne.

I chose to import to Lagos because I figured that all these Igbo importers who import to Lagos must have a reason for doing that. I had no experience in importation and was not going to take the risk.

What I am trying to say is that I personally found no reason why Onne is not being used.

IgboSubmarine:
Blue3k. I am still waiting for you to counter the answer released by Amberon11 concerning why Onne seaport is not import oriented like that of Lagos seaport.



At least, Amberon11 is awake to counter you.



Amberon11 pls create a thread for this so that Blue3k won't keep deceiving people.

diadem10:
What's this one saying? What if the British built Lagos seaport? Was it from oil produce or cocoa? Before the exploration of oil, Who was the largest source of NG revenues if not the SW for their Cocoa, Timber, Limestones and Palm.. Abi dis one dey mad ni..

Btw, Ondo has huge oil in abundance. In fact, it has the second largest oil reserves after Canada. You should worry about your landlocked red mud SE first!

Obi1kenobi:
There's also something I'm not getting here. Some have said Lagos accounts for most of the imports because the transport companies with their large ships prefer Lagos. Considering the massive oil tankers that ply the Eastern ports to export crude, I see no reason why those same import liners can't import through those ports. I believe this must be a routing policy issue. The Eastern ports handling export traffic are probably not equipped to simultaneously handle huge import traffic. So the Lagos ports which handle comparatively little exports are prioritized in national maritime policy to handle the bulk of imports.

Ereolamide:
The shortcomings of those Ports include shallow draft, which will make it impossible for large vessels to berth.

It's not just about good roads and all, the eastern port can only berth small ships, and most shippers use big ships to import their merchandise.

Obi1kenobi:
I know absolutely nothing about the maritime sector, but my dad once told me (in one of his anti-government rants ) that the government pretty much sabotage the import capacity of other ports ensuring most goods are routed through Lagos ports. Then again, he was no authority on the issue either as he was an FIRS official. But think about it. Despite the massive problems in clearing goods at the Lagos ports, it still accounts for the bulk of import traffic. There must be underlying policy and structural problems that are responsible for this.

I would still wait for someone in the know to illuminate this issue.

Easier said than done. Let me see u not able to collect 10,000 naira every Sunday, then someone comes along and donates 50 million.

Why I detest religious people like you is because you never get into health discussions!

The only points you have is fictions! The unknown!

First of all, it is not His house - a drug dealer built it. Second of all, he has decreed that we must all die sooner or later even the holiest person

Right inside his own abode, he couldnt save all......

Its worth pondering about!

Will it be worthy to say to you not safe in the house of the Lord?

U don't understand desperation. If u have no way of ever affording a church building, then someone offers u one, u think u will be asking where they got the money?

LesbianBoy:
Come how many times this boy go engage this girl

Ereolamide:
that's the viable location for a true deep seaport in Nigeria presently.

Ereolamide:
It was probably not meant to be a 'deep' sea port, you should know the shoddy way Nigeria government works, even those Lagos ports ain't deep enough, you want a real deep seaport, go to ondo.

Ereolamide:
Nigeria government is not responsible for the shallowness, the marine geoligical make up of those sites are, do want the goverment to dregde the sea?

that's why sea ports are better sited in respect of the depth of water unlike regular port

That's why deep sea port is usually made up for the usage of very large and heavily loaded ships. The depth of water helps get them access to the deepwater ports.

shukuokukobambi:
You can't really blame them. Those lies have been drilled into them from the womb and being the tactless chest beaters and tacky showmen they are, they will always shout it on the roof tops no matter how senseless or baseless it is

ProWalker:
Sorry for the last rough encounter I had with you, it was a case of mistaken identity.

Blue3k:
Lol defending you a dumb statement by doubling down not every port is a deep seaport. The fact it's not doesn't make it dysfunctional unless you think the only ports that should exist are deep seaports.

The thread was opened to see if anyone can disprove this. Nobody been able to so far. Only clown responses from guys like yourself sadly.

Ps: The eastern ports don't refer to regional governments. It refers to the location. This why eastern port headquarters oversees those ports. You would know this but daft responses are your specialty.
