Examples of River Port upstream.

The Sea Port in Onitsha is vital to the advancement of the commerce and trade sector in the regions(east/north) to alleviate pressure on already over crowded cities. It should serve Enugu, Ebonyi and various Northern states i.e benue and kogi.

The river port would aid transfer of cargoes from ships into barges for delivery through the inland waterways. This will take pressures off our roads and help them to last longer whilst enhancing maritime security in all ramifications..

The development of the international ship and port facility security code by the International Maritime Organisation was a quantum leap in the quest to galvanise national and international resolve to secure global shipping and maritime based economic activities.

Port Facility Security Assessments and Port Facility Security Plans were concluded and approved for over 53 port facilities and oil/gas terminals, as required by the ISPS Cod.

^^^Stop derailing my thread and follow the tangent.Thanks!

Who said anything about tribal? We are talking equity and justice for all Nigerians, surely that is the way forward if any? As for meeting, did they send you because am far gone and u are in the distance in the dark.

^Very funny and rich coming from Mr One Nigeria by all means necessary. So because GEJ is now President you want SNC and regionalism? lol!! The current set up is working just fine. The sub-divisions are happier than ever and that makes Ndi-igbo happy, at least they can breathe ease knowing Igbos are not out to dominate dem as previously believed.hahah

^^So the federalist have finally settled for regionalism? Soon it will be secessionist.Which way na?

The future is an arch bridge.

Second River Niger Bridge Model 4

Why a second Forth Road Bridge? The existing road bridge has for many years been carrying volumes of traffic far in excess of what was expected at the time it was built. This has led to structural loads much larger than originally forecast, and has also caused one of Scotland's worst bottlenecks, especially for traffic heading southeast from southwest to North on weekday mornings. Additionally, in recent years corrosion has begun to appear in the steel strands making up the main suspension pillars. The two factors have together resulted in fears that use of the bridge by heavy vehicles might have to be restricted within a decade, and that it might have to close altogether by 2020.

I mean the people of the south eastern region and beyond have waited over 52 years for a second bridge. It has to berra than bridge no: 1 or on par making two world class bridges.

Surely in 2012, we can do better than this model of the first niger bridge. I mean Onitsha is a strategic location for business and commerce, the bridge is a gate way of east to west. We have to make good this promise and build a fitting monument that will withstand the sands of time. We need a bridge that will fit the changing image of the east.

This is terrible. The funny aspect is the same old sinners for years before i even considered joining nairaland are still the same people spewing hate. I sure would not want to be any of you.

There must be something wrong with your brains as u are all clearly incapable of dreaming good things, just hate and wickedness.U sure make it easy to be proud of Nigeria, Africa and Blacks. Leave our President alone to work for us all, 2015 is his choice not anyone else and Nigeria will get a chance to approve.

^^Trust is something that people earn overtime in character. Chinaemeze of Igboland has earned the trust of Igbo people that matter and we have given him our full support and with GEJ we will remain in support. Do not derail my thread with ur chums and bigotry.

A Gate way Bridge and world class seaport.We shall celebrate.
Second River Niger Bridge Model 1

The River Niger Bridge connecting Asaba and Onitsha one side and the Western Nigeria with South-Eastern Nigeria, this bridge is strategically located between Asaba and Onitsha and was constructed by the nation’s former colonial masters, Britain in December 1965 at the cost of 5 million British pounds. The Bridge has obviously become old with frequent complaints by motorists and experts who believe that regular vehicular traffics and heavy duty trucks amongst others and indeed old age now causes the Bridge to become a trap. Most of the nuts and bolts used by the British colonial government cannot be found anywhere in the world because they have become obsolesced.

Frequent complaints from experts compelled the Federal Government to carry out some rehabilitation works on the bridge in 2005, but before now opinions have called for the construction of another bridge in what has become known as the second River Niger Bridge to avoid foreseen disasters that might befall motorists on the bridge. Much as the cry for the construction of second River Niger Bridge has persisted, the government of the country has turned deaf ears, stylishly making promises on awards of contracts for the construction of the second bridge. By now, every Nigerian has become inured to these pledges and promises which never get fulfilled. Claims and counter claims for the award of the contract have only become part of the national anthem of the nation recited by the nation’s leaders either whenever an election is coming up or towards the end of their tenure.

Experts wonder why the government is finding it absolutely impossible to construct the bridge which will link Asaba with Owerri. Dredging the bridge has also become one promise we have become familiar with, anyone who turns on his radio is bound to hear of the dredging of this River but we never see it done. Observers maintain that the dredging of the river will enable easy passage of cargo ships and boats to the northern parts of the country and will indeed open up the South-Eastern region but our government never contemplates this to be so for the reason we cannot tell. We hear the government on December 1st 2008 signed a contract totaling 34.4 Billion Naira for the dredging of this river. Has work started?



Looking at this region which is strategic to the country, one would have expected that the river be dredged, another bridge be constructed in addition to the existing one and a commercial seaport set-up. No one will ask for too much if he advocates that a seaport be built around this river Niger to make the people of South-East, Niger State and the core northern part of the country less dependent on Lagos ports. It is thoroughly impossible to believe that a nation which laments of congestion of ports in the nation and imposes so much duty and demurrage on its citizens as a decongestion policy cannot think of constructing another port in this region. If a port cannot be located here will it be located on a desert? We must ask ourselves this question.

With the Delta State Government constructing an International and cargo Airport in Asaba, which if completed will serve the commercial needs of the entire Igbo; it will also be wise if our government cogitate on constructing a sea port at the Onitsha end of the River Niger. We must not bury ourselves in cheap excuses because we know that with today’s technology in place, anything is achievable, as we have seen landlocked nations artificially create rivers.

It is not strictly an affair of the Igbo but a national project that will benefit the nation as a whole. This area is a vibrant one and should not be idle for reasons not obviously established. And if the British colonial government thought it wise to construct the only existing bridge in the area, why is it difficult to construct another for the Igbo. We tend to read a different meaning to it when we recall that uncountable numbers of bridges are found on one lagoon alone in Lagos, yet we cry for just one more bridge to added where we know it should imperatively exist. We know it as our right; we may be crying to have it in place where it should truly belong today, but one day, we there shall arise a true leader who will wish that true federalism with equality without regard to ethnic-nationalities be enthroned. We just might not bother ourselves any more as our rights will be restored, until then we shall continue to make our leaders see us as part of the federation of Nigeria and do to us what they have done in other places. Let there be second River Niger Bridge between Asaba and Onisha.[url]http://www.hoppingent.com/bridge-construction-set/ [/url] [flash]

The controversial fuel subsidy has the lion share of N888 billion followed by Works which is to gulp N244 billion.

On a serious note, Nigeria can do without this subsidies. Haba! N888 billion on benefits. Mbanu!

RIP NIGERIA VERY BEST POLICE OFFICER.GOOD NIGHT!

Faulty? Dey must be having a laugh. This all reminds me of John Garang Sudan. Obviously, boko haram police members wanted this hard working and committed officer Haruna John out of the way. Just hope we don't now have boko haram no1 and 2.

Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know he loves. Peace and Blessings …. Ask the Lord to give you, day by day, more and more faith.

I don't deny anything, at the end of the day; Britain, America and Russia are responsible for Nigeria. 3 million Igbo life was worth Nigeria existence.

I can't deny, i yam a Nigerian.

Somalia maybe, and that is a big maybe. Nigeria is a big disgrace for a country and i am a proud Africa, Nigerian, Biafran, Igbo .

.

Wat is all this talk about Nigeria image abroad over the regrettable death of the Briton and Italian. The west can continue with their games on terrorism and America can build their foreign Consulate in Kano while they develop the North. Only Nigerians are target of boko haram, al qaeda, al shabaab.

The Best President Nigeria has ever had. May God fortify you to lead Nigeria, his excellency.

President Jerry Rawlings of Ghana AKA The Lion of Ghana paying respect to the Lion of Biafra General Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu.

Here is a Gov that understands religion is not about socialization but a personal relationship focused on man and God.(Salvation) This is progress.

I expect America to play such card, they are neither here nor there but open to business with any party that favours their interest. Under northern watch, the oil in the south was thoroughly exploited with land owners massacred to guarantee supply and profit for american chevron Texaco.etc

The last thing America wants is all this talk of resource control in the present economic down turn with Russia and China economy on the boom. GEJ should be very careful becos oil is the name of the game and America is loving the present Nigeria set-up that keeps the President from niger delta in a weaker position.

They did rather have a northerner ideally without MEND, that way no accountability and responsibility to locals.
