Politics › Sen.Ita Giwa, Eyeing Cross River Governors Seat 2019 by Atouke(op): 5:22am On Apr 23, 2017
Sen. Giwa to become first elected female governor in Nigeria.
She will be running under APC ticket.
The former PDP senator defected from PDP to APC recently.
The former special adviser to president Obasanjo is no political neophyte.having played naija politics at the highest levels for many years.
Her connections within and outside abuja will certainly help her cause.
Feelers in CRS is that the people are behind her, and if anyone can dislodge PDP and Ayade in CRS it will be Giwa.

The present gov is said to be very uncomfortable with the new challenge thrown his way.
This may be the sign of the death of PDP in CRS.
Travel › Nigeria Gets New Airline Soon. by Atouke(op):
Green Africa Airways (Lagos) is set to pursue its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), the airline’s founder and CEO, Babawande Afolabi, has disclosed.

“The need for a quality airline that will better connect people and resources in Nigeria and further open up the West African seaboard is unequivocally clear,” he told Branch Crunch Nigeria in an interview. ”

That said, we’ve always thought that building Green Africa Airways is going to be a classic case of an enduring house painstakingly built one brick at a time.”

The start-up was granted an Air Services Licence (ASL) just over a year ago. Afolabi did not disclose any launch timelines or early network plans.

The south south are the mainstay of nigerian economy generating for 95% of Nigerias income.

You are getting it wrong, your choice of word is questionable, there is no relocation as the seaport is within the ibom industrial city and free zone. The area is large an covers about 5 Local government area, so siteing the seaport within any area of the zone does not mean a relocation. Relocation would have been applicable if the site was moved outside of the proposed industrial city zone.

I wish i was a politician then i will be rich ! LOL
Okay thank you sir! A politician is known by their utterances, I will allow others to judge you by your utterance. I have already madeup my mind on who you are.
Am no fan of Akpabio and his political Godson Udom, But it will be great if they can actualize this seaport project.

I am no politician Abeg -o ! just a concerned Akwa Ibomite. My point is that the seaport was to be sited within the industrial city which ibeno and ibaka are within that industrial city proximity so there is no relocation here as the seaport is within the proposed industrial city.

I heard from the grapevine that Ibaka where the initial site was earmarked for the proposed a Nigerian Navy submarine port which is still underwraps as it is the deepest natural waterbody in Nigeria. That makes sense because its just a stone through from the NNS station at james town. So as a matter of National security a new site was imperative. and that this was the reason for the delay in approval of the seaport as opposed to politics that everyone was blaming. But don't quote me on it as it is just rumor.
The most important thing is that a suitable site has been allotted for the deep seaport that is satisfactory to all Stakeholders in the project and all Approvals has been secured.LOL
So in other words you are confirming the relocation of the seaport? See I know you know more than you were telling. But somehow i still feel you are a politician.

@atouke and @jazzydee you guys are misunderstanding the issue! the fact is that from Ibeno, ewang, Okposo, tom shot island all the way to Ibaka and jamestown is part of the ibom industrial city, If you look at the 3D model of the area i posted earlier you will see that all that area is earmarked for the industrial city development. the port is just a component of the industrial city and will be sited within the industrial city which covers about 5 Local Government Areas in the state
Whats your point exactly? I think we know the difference between the proposed industrial city and the deep seaport. we were discussing the site of the actual seaport. is it in Ibaka as originally proposed or has it been moved to ibeno as the MTBS(the consultant) website shows? If you have information to this regard kindly post it, and stop talking like a politician. you cant fool me.

This is very nice move @op do you know where the port is going to be sited? I heard that the port is no longer going to be at Ibaka, but has been moved to a new location hence the change of Name from Ibaka to Ibom deep seaport.
Jazzydee I think you were right i just found this:

Ibaka deep sea port relocated to new site

THE proposed Ibaka deep sea port, Akwa Ibom, has been relocated to Ibeno Local Government Area, while the name has been changed to Ibom from Ibaka.
Vanguard gathered that the project analysis done by a foreign consultant and Transaction Advisers, FELAC Concept and Marine and Transport Business Solutions, MTBS, of Netherlands, showed that the port project would not be commercially viable if sited at Ibaka due to its long distance from the sea..
A source close to the Ministerial Steering and Delivery Committee for the port who spoke to Vanguard, explained that the project had to be moved initially to Okposo. The source further noted that the same problem of distance from the sea as well as the dense population, made it non-viable.
The source said that the soil analysis on Okposo showed that the earth there is marshy which would further drive up the cost of construction should it be sited there.
The source pointed out that the project had to be moved again to the third site at Ibeno Local Government Area and the name had to be changed from Ibaka to Ibom, like all other projects of the state to give it a state colouration.
The distance from the new site to the sea is about 20 nautical kilometres and also it is closer to the connecting expressway for quick evacuation of consignments from the port at completion, the source disclosed.
The source also said that the area is less populated, making compensation for displaced persons easy, as well as making the new site for the project commercially viable.
The transport ministry source said that one of the major challenges faced by the committee at the new site was the presence of under-ground oil pipelines.
The source explained that the Committee held several meetings with the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, National Petroleum Investment Management Services, NAPIMS, and the various oil companies on how to work around the pipelines.
The oil companies agreed to relocate some of the pipelines that were no longer active away from the area to aid quick construction of the port.
The source explained that construction work on the project is expected to commence sometime next year on a Public, Private Partnership.
It added that a few little details left on the part of government would soon be taken care of for construction work to commence.
On financing, the source disclosed that the private sector is expected to have 60 percent while the Federal and state governments are expected to hold 20 percent each. According to the source, “No government can fund a port project but it can only be achieved through a Public/Private sector partnership.”
Foreign concerns are already making inquires on what is required to partake in the financing of the project.

I don't know for sure but if you click on the source of the news i posted above you will find a location for the Ibom Deep seaport, it is no way near Ibaka, but is right on the atlantic ocean. I dont know if they made a mistake on the position or if it is the actual site for the seaport.

Politics › Ibom Port Development Plan Gets OK by Atouke(op): 3:58pm On Jun 23, 2015
Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) has formally approved the ongoing development of the Ibom Deep Seaport & Free Trade Zone in Akwa Ibom State.

Felak Concept Limited (Abuja, Nigeria) and MTBS (Rotterdam, the Netherlands) are the Transaction Advisors for the project.

The project is monitored by the Ministerial Project Development and Steering Committee (MPDSC). FEC approval paves the way for the upcoming PPP Concession tender by means of which international port investors and operators are identified and selected for the development.

The Ibom Deep Sea Port & Free Trade Zone is a Greenfield port and FTZ development in Akwa Ibom State in southeast Nigeria. The port is projected to become a cargo gateway for the vast central and eastern Nigerian markets and beyond.

Development and subsequent operation of the port will generate substantial economic activity in the region.

what will happen will amuse people who think that only people of South South have arms & they are the mist violent not knowing that they are child's play that others just thought that they be left alone because they have been cheated; but you people were given the opportunity to put things right but you rather prefer playing the ethnic card, abeg! People note that people no longer pity you people has you have bitten more than you can chew why you started threatening other regions/tribes in Nigeria that you will attack them & turn some to dust. If you result to violence you villages will just turn to ashes chaply. You better stop all this make believe of strength or military capability as the major reason you did well in your struggle was because the South West saw reason & supported you struggle legally & they made the North & the world to know that you needed to be given a chance, you got the opportunity through a South West man but you went against them that fought the legal & moral battles for the South South; you people need to sit down & rethink rather than making mouth that will get you people into serious trouble as you militancy may be misinterpreted as war & your entire region may be made to experience a full scale civil war which you people can never survive, yes you will destroy several oil facilities but think about your villages, lives & your waters & all you source of living that will be destroyed likes millions of your people turned into refugees. Is that what you people want? Please note, I am also a Niger deltan & I know when to call a spade a spade; is that is needed is to win other peoples hearts here by getting other people to get to see reason to support us once again which is why we must mend fences with other tribes as the south south don't stand a chance in a war.
Niger deltans do not need to fight or threaten anyone, after all we are enlightened and not Boko Haramites, We will simply starve you parasites. He that pays Nigeria dictates the tune.

Actually am not mad because of amaechi because after 8 years of being governor, he is moving to the next level of his political life. A much more powerful and influential politician in Nigeria than he is currently. He pitched his tent right and already as I am talking with u, pdp cronies are being prepared to be replaced by Amaechi's cronies in NDDC on Aba road.
On the contrary, am amazed at ur stupidity to think and believe that 1 million voted for wike on election day.
[size=15pt]So you are not mad but just a sore loser? Buhari lost election 3 times but he didnt lose the respect and love of his people, GEJ lost an election but has not lost the love of his people, Amaechi has lost the election and worst has lost the love and respect of his people(rivers state), That is a greater price that even the highest political position will not replace!

The people of rivers do not need congratulatory message from Amaechi or any message at all from him what they want from him is for him to vacate the government house on may 29th and move to Abuja to collect his 30 pieces of silver purchase his Akeldama there and dwell amongst his new masters and leave rivers alone, he has made his bed let him lay on it.

He sent an Apology to rivers people After the presidential election where 1.4million people voted against his treachery, the rivers people responded to his apology by voting him and his Party out of rivers state government house by a margin of over a million.

See Amaechis messages are not needed in Rivers state. he is an anathema even in his own village an ward.[/size]
