NigeriaIsZOO:
I gave you an example using P.H port that was dredged for 50 miles now compare that with Obuaku that is just 25 miles to the coast!

In your hate against Igbos, you guys have become so dense, unreasonable and senseless. Check the screenshots below and tell me if you guys are not dundees.

Lolyou weirdos site your your port inland and still call it a sea while it's on river. Your opinion article means nothing bring a geography source. Rivers ports are river ports. Don't worry you guys will correct yourselves like Edo had to.

omonnakoda:
Lagos seaport has no connection with a river . Rivers are fresh water streams that EMPTY into the ocean

Lagos port is in an estuary or coastal lagoon of the Atlantic that flows directly into the bay

All the water is SEA water i,e salt water

The question was rhetorical but thanks anyway.

NigeriaIsZOO:
You really need help, no jokes. So, this proposed Azumini port that is only 25 nautical miles to the ocean is an inland port according to you but Lagos, P.H, Warri etc that are further inland and needed to be dredged for up to 40, 50 or 60 nautical miles before connecting to the ocean are not inland ports.

Can't you see how daft you are?!

By your logic all the river ports in Nigeria are also seaports. Edo has a Seaport in Gelegela because it's not that far from the ocean despite being inland and not bordering the ocean. You clowns really don't care to distinguish between rivers and seas. Lol only in Nigeria will you be 100 miles inland then say we're seaport. I'm eagerly awaiting the venue seaport.

NigeriaIsZOO:
Are you this dense or what? Something is seriously wrong with you. Are you even aware that Lagos seaports was dredged for a whopping 50 nautical miles to ocean before ships could berth! If Lagos could be dredged for that long then why not this proposed port that is far shorter in distance (about 25 nautical miles) to the ocean?

Has your Igbophobic tendencies made you unreasonable and illogical?

SMH.

Does lagos seaport sit on river or the ocean. Why I said it's an inland port is because of it's location on the river and distance from the ocean not because of the need for dredging. You clowns are like Muslims calling any criticism Islamophobia. Saying the project resembles any other inland port is called igbophobia to you weirdos. This is no different from port of Philadelphia or the other river ports with Nigeria itself.

Notasyouthink:
When did nautical miles turn to km??

Are you this daft because of hate and jealousy??

Lol does that it being 23 nautical miles turn it into a seaport clown? You're right thats my mistake saying km instead of miles. It's over 40 km from the Atlantic.

NigeriaIsZOO:
Your ignorance is very disturbing. Where do you think P.h port is situated? How many miles is it to the ocean?

23km is a very short distance to the ocean and even if it requires dredging, the cost won't be too much or unaffordable.

I would argue port Harcourt is river port as well hence why there's need for a better port in eastern half of the nation.

SlayerForever:
You see your life

Why can't you guys distinguish between rivers and seas? I remember Edo did the same thing but they eventually corrected themselves.

Igbochief001:
Apapa is on the sea ? Lmao ....which sea abeg ?
Apapa port is at the lagos lagoon which is more shallow than a river that's if u know what a lagoon is

Point taken guess it's not a seaport then.

Igbochief001:
Name any port in Nigeria that's not on a river ...just name one abeg

Apapa port. Does that not count?

PROUDIGBO:
So at what distance does it change from river to sea port? I thought a sea port is so designated if it can berth ocean vessels?

I assumed it had to be by land that bordered the Sea.

triple996:
ndigbo dreaming about seaport.
what you have are river ports which doesn't even exit currently.

Lol the River doesn't empty in the Sea, wouldn't that make it a lake?

Wiseandtrue:
E shoke you bah

Say with all these your land lock chorus, something like this fit spring out

These guys are geography skills are lacking. How they don't know the difference between the Sea and river is funny. How is it a Seaport if you're 23 km from the ocean?

The Sea port located on a 2,000 hectares of land near the Imo River, Obeaku in Ukwa West Local Government Area of Abia State, has about 23 nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean.

Sounds like a river port. Edo said their port was seaport but they eventually corrected themselves.

“There will also be an establishment of a Mega City Project comprising of 10,000 housing units in its first phase, refineries, free trade zone, industrial layout, gas plant for steady power supply, shopping malls, hospital and police station all of which the team of Marine Engineers alongside other experts are working out”, he added.

Nice �.

Work will soon commence at the proposed Obeaku Deep Sea Port in Abia State following the completion of all the necessary documentations with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Federal Ministries of Transportation as well as that of Petroleum according to the core investors.

Chief Executive Officer, CEO, Zoros Energy Ltd – core investors in the project, Eze Ikenna Nwaigwe  who disclosed this  when he led other members of his team to the Deep Seaport site on an inspection tour commended Gov Okezie Ikpeazu for the great commitment of his administration towards realising the project.

The Sea port located on a 2,000 hectares of land near the Imo River, Obeaku in Ukwa West Local Government Area of Abia State, has about 23 nautical miles to the Atlantic Ocean.

Its closeness to the Atlantic Ocean, according to the investor, will make the shipping business easier for Abians.

The investor said that the project would commence with the reclamation of the area and dredging of about 30 meters deep from Obeaku to Ikot – Abasi Port in Rivers State.

“There will also be an establishment of a Mega City Project comprising of 10,000 housing units in its first phase, refineries, free trade zone, industrial layout, gas plant for steady power supply, shopping malls, hospital and police station all of which the team of Marine Engineers alongside other experts are working out”, he added.

The project facilitator, Elder Godwin Nnah expressed satisfaction over the level of support and interest Governor Ikpeazu administration had committed to the project.

He also commended the traditional ruler of Obeaku, Eze Ikeagwuchi Ekeke for his cooperation, noting that “the security condition of Abia and its industrial status are part of the comparative advantages foreigners look out for and which have been attracting them to the state.”

He said that Abians would enjoy better employment opportunities and better standard of living when the project came on stream.

Ekeke thanked the donor community for their cooperation and urged the locals to sustain their support.

In their remarks, the Traditional Ruler of Obeaku, Eze Ikeagwuchi Ekeke and a prominent son of the area, Mr Ejike Okere, said the community gave out 2,000 hectares of land for the project because of the immense benefit of having such a project in their locality.

They later led the team on the ferry tour to the borders of Rivers and Akwa Ibom States.

gidgiddy:
They took Obigbo out of Imo state in 1976, put it in Rivers state, and renamed it one stupid name called "Oyigbo"

Lol when does Oyigbo plan on splitting from Rivers.

Sheep sheep Naira naira the term just works that way.

The commissioner of police received a credible intelligence report 48-72 hours before Monday, warning of an impending attack on the Police Headquarters in Imo state between April 4 and 6. Yet, Police did not heed to actionable intelligence, the consequence of which has led to over 1800 inmates loose into society.

Is anyone going to be fired?

Rosskiiku:
Why not go round the entire West Africa and preach your mental and moral superiority to them, from your high, spiteful pedestal?

The problem is not limited to Nigeria.

If you don't find a way to resolve the issue amicably, even you could end up dead from the violence, plus family.

Or maybe you think you are immune to bullets and societal destruction.

No need this thread works perfectly. If you feel like whining all over Africa do so you might make money. Lol the amicable solution is for them to desist from their crimality and buy land. States in north are already giving them land ranch on the rest of west Africa can solve it problems. Remember those foolish criminals are not bullet proof either.

Rosskiiku:
If you had been born into a poor Fulani family in Sokoto, you would have been EXACTLY like one of those herders you are insulting.

You are only LUCKY to be born a southern, educated, pampered, middle class person who now feels superior, courtesy of accident of birth.

Whenever you see people who are generally less fortunate than you are, instead of regarding them haughtily, say a silent thanks to your maker with the words, ''There but for the grace of God go I.''

Yawn nobody cares about the pity party nonsense you're spewing. Nobody chooses the circumstances of their birth so it's irrelevant. Everyone does make decisions their decisions that can better their lot in life. They choose not to go to learn to read, not to invest in land and chose to engage in criminality and become a menace to society.

Instead of whining to us the weather turned them into useless criminals tell them to improve themselves. Nobody is interested in sympathizing with foolish criminals. Everyone has their own issues so these foolish criminals dont need to add their load because desertification exist.

Rosskiiku:
Majority of farmers in Nigeria did not ''buy their land''. Their inherited it or were allocated it by their villages as is customary.



That attitude will only lead to bloodshed. Maybe you love bloodshed.

Even if what you typed makes sense, it can never be effectively implemented by the herders on their own without a proper structure and framework backed by the government and all parties across the nation.

You forget that most of those herders are illiterates, and don't even know the meaning of those terms you are using, like ''lease'', ''ranching'', and so on. There needs to be a clear administrative framework to streamline any adjustment to the new realities caused by climate change.

Sitting in your parlour screaming ''they should do this and that'' is not the solution.

Who cares that's if they inherited it. It doesn't change the premise of your arguement. If a person wants land they have to buy it. If they move north like the herdsmen are doing south they going to buy it from the locals.

They cant buy land from their fellow man without the state helping them who would've guessed. Everyone knows herdsmen are illiterate by their own decisions. They fools know the meaning of steal and kill for stuff that doesnt belong.

To wrap this up herdsmen spent generations not buying land only to become criminals and societal nuisance that needs a government bail out to secure land. Their wiser africans bought land and ranched like in south africa while they roamed about never learning to read or improve their business practices. What foolish set of people.

Rosskiiku:
It's very easy to tell people to ''buy land'' when it is not YOU being required to dig into your pockets.

Imagine if every southern trader or farmer had to first ''buy land'' before they could run their business.

Majority would resort to begging or violence.

The problem needs a collaborative approach between north and south, NOT the ''you are on your own'' type solution.

You do have to buy land to farm so your arguement is foolish. If you dont own land then lease it. It cant do either borrow. If thats not an option then sell, being a foolish criminal isnt justified because you poor. It's nobody fault you're poor and dont have forward thinking.

Lol what a bunch of foolishness instead of them to buy land and ranch like their wiser competitors they engage in criminality and make themselves a societal nuisance.

Bro just learn to be more assertive and confident. The military a good option but you can also just enrilll in martial arts and workout more. Get a few fights under your belt you'll be fine. Other than that talk to more girls.

PS: I feel like this has been copy and pasted before. Maybe it's Deja vu.

Biodun556:
It is not a stupid argument. Obama pass through litigation and controversy about his citizenship while he was US president, this was a person that served as a senator for several years. The higher you go in public office the more people will be attracted to your profile even several generations before you were born.

The Obama arguement was also stuoid hence why it was thrown out. Instead of telling me about Obama argue the merits of Atiku not being a citizen because his parents were dead. Again if the were alive it would make no logical difference because he became a Nigerian through the vote either way. No Nigerian president was born a Nigerian since they were all born before 1960. Lastly the arguement is extremely stupid ehen you realize you're essentially claiming Atiku is a stateless person because he's neither a Nigerian citizen or Cameroonian.


It's like saying George Washington couldnt be president because he wasnt born a British subject. Martin Van Buren was the first US born president.

Nope it sounds really stupid. A former vice president not a citizen and nobody knew. If Atiku not a citizen most of adamawa people arent either by that logic.

By which time Atiku's parents had died. So it therefore means that Atiku is a citizen of Nigeria by "PLEBISCITE" and not by "BIRTH".

What a stupid arguement. He would still be a citizen by plebiscite either way because he was born b4 the entity.

Decentralization of the police force, focusing on interstate crime, tough on crime policies that punish crininal organizations e.g rico charges and increasing budget for domestic defance. Id also encourage citezens to arm themselves to protect themselves. Free people are allowed to protect their persons and property. Stand your ground and do so while the police are on their way.

grandstar:
Buhari no dey listen.Lasy year when the price of the rude oil collapsed, he had the chance to deregulate the price of the UT he spectacularly blew it.

I wonder which is worse-corruption or wasteful spending!? Buhari is a maestro of the latter.

The guy is a lost cause. The sad part is when the next leader eventually ends his bad policies they say he build the foundation for growth. Lol his polices have been a diaster if you look at at before and after metrics like unemployment or gdp growth.

Dtruthspeaker:
Many Tenets but you are not interested in any of them and you are just plain angry that I have pointed out that your beloved illegal entity called Nigeria and it's Weak, fraudulent, imbalance, unjust and completely inadequate law is A FRAUD AND AN OPPRESSION AND CAN NEVER EVER SOLVE ANY PROBLEM!

The question wasn't rhetorical provide an answer if you have it. Im not angry Im just stating the truth about your whining. It doesn't futher any or your goals. Either follow the legal process laid out or settle it with violence it doesn't matter which you pick.

oludaniels777:
Do we really need passport office in every local govt? How many passport will they process in a day in those small LGA in the north? This is waste of resources. All they need Is an office in each state capital and all the big cities make the offices very efficient. Make use of latest technology. Let people fill form online, go do biometric at the nearest office. Send the passport back by NIPOST.

If they're goal is to give themselves inflated contracts to build everywhere them this is the perfect plan. Even the steps you mention are done overseas. Lol even the drivers licenses that have ones address are still expected to be picked up but Nigerians hardly ask why dont you just mail this to me.

dochenaj:
Sadly in the passport fees breakdown, we still pay for them to mail the passport to us. Yet we have to go to the office severally, and beg just to get it after 2 months of application and data capture.

Sounds like fraud unless we're paying them to mail it to the office instead of homes ironically.

How to stop petroleum smuggling. Sell it at market price the end.

ShouldIsayit:
I agree with you, if we made NIPOST functional, we could create at least one million jobs. Look at the Royal Mail of the UK for example, those guys deliver mails to residences everyday, many people are kept busy by that.

You guys should use the word functional correctly. The postal service works delivering millions of parcels every year. What function are they not fufilling?

Dtruthspeaker:
Natural Law settled the problem but your theives ruling over you, need the chaos!

What tenent of natural law are you referring to? You're just making noise which why you you'll achieve nothing. You dont want a new state, you want engage in catharsis about how unfair life is like you're 12.
