LOVEALAIGBO:
There are two points there where ocean-going ships can access Obuaku and Afikpo. Can’t speak for the other places mentioned as possible sites for seaports in the south-east/Alaigbo.

The one of Afikpo will pass through Cross-River territory, and assuming they’re a country of their own, bilateral agreements favourable to both sides can be signed….or if it makes better economic sense, and our neighbours are ok with it, a independent Alaigbo can invest and co-own ports in either Calabar or Ibaka! I wouldn’t advise a independent Alaigbo to have anything to do with Port Harcourt, for a number of reasons!

The Obuaku option is a much better one as far as my knowledge goes….even better than the one currently planned for Oguta, and it’s a testament to how inactive and visionless the immediate past Abia gov’t was that the project didn’t get off the ground! In the event of Nigerias’ disintegration, the body of water leading to Obuaku would become a international waterway…with ships heading to Obuaku seaport passing our Opobo cousins on the left and the Republic of Akwa-Ibom/Akwa-Cross on the right.

Assuming, without conceding, that a independent Alaigbo/Biafra is landlocked, as many Igbo haters wish and get wet dreams about, we still have a number of good options at our disposal.

Over the years, there has been arguments and politicization on the need to build viable seaports in the SE. However, it has become an urgent need now. With the removal of fuel subsidy, any region that is capable of landing fuel directly will become more viable than others. Fuel is cheapest in Lagos and most expensive in NE because of this factor. Also, Lagos needs to breath instead of the current suffocation there. Once there is a viable competition to Lagos, tension in that city will reduce. NC and NE will also benefit because it will make fuel and other imports cheaper in those regions.

Abia, Imo and Anambra States all have the potentials to build deep seaports that can berth large vessels comfortably! [/b]Before anyone decides to argue blindly, here are the facts on ground about ports in Nigeria and their positions:

[b]1. Ibaka, Akwa Ibom state; 30 miles to Atlantic.
2. Lagos State; 50 miles to Atlantic.
3. P.H, Rivers State; 50 miles to Atlantic.
4. Onne, Rivers State; 60 miles to Atlantic.

Now compare all these ports to those in SE:
1. Osemoto, Imo State; 18 miles to Atlantic.
2. Oseakwa, Anambra state; 18 miles to Atlantic.
3. Obuaku, Abia State; 25 miles to Atlantic.

The most intriguing part is that the designated ports in Osemoto/Oseakwa axis offer the deepest natural ports as well as the closest to Atlantic, thereby making them potentially the most viable and easiest to maintain in Nigeria!

Any state in the SE that first builds a viable port will automatically become the richest in the region, but also one of the richest states in Nigeria.

Is it the people that champion the one they stop? So those people that champion and implement that one stopped should also champion and execute that of cutting the cost of governance and contract inflation, this is the main problem in our polity not subvention to professional bodies.

God1000:
They should cut their own salaries and other benefits as well.


The cost of governance is too high in Nigeria.

Reduce NASS budget from N228.1b to 50b

Civil servants were being owed and Labour was quite because ortom was supporting Pandora

DaddyFreeze2020:
EFCC should arrest former Governor of Benue State Samuel Ortom and ask him what he was using their unpaid salaries to do.

Get Fulcin and treat from the blood, get nixoderm or skineal and apply after a warm bath

Zupay:
As far as e end with -cal, we good.😜

Zupay:
No, he is chemically an APC member.

tesppidd:
Amaechi has attainable the crest of political power, albeit at a younger age.

The only higher position Amaechi could aspire to, it is the Presidency.

Even in the next 40 years only about 5 Nigerians can be President.

So not becoming President should never be considered a failure.

So Amaechi has lost nothing, he has achieved huge political success already.

tesppidd:
How did he finish Amaechi's political career?

What position apart from President could Amaechi aspire to?

You see 10mb and begin to post nonsense.

Pythagoras001:
am kind of surprised he hasn't been expelled for anti party activities.

Dapson73:
He's more valuable and useful for APC to remain in PDP and work within the latter for victory of APC anytime , anywhere.

So, let him remain there jejely.
