Noneroone:
can you show us a single evidence of such "cry"?

who goes about shouting Lagos is no man’s land?

Armaggedon:
That's the state civil service. That's how it happens everywhere

but why do same Anambra people cry when Lagos reserves stuffs only for Yorubas of Lagos origin?

No wonder lots of their management were sacked/forcefully resigned.

Ensa777:
Ignore the guy,he isn't onye Ebonyi.He a troll.

Does he even know what ndi and ndu means?

Ndu is used by Abakaliki bloc

ThinkSmarter:
I saw that Tweet by Statisence and i doubt the authenicity of that report.
I believe that of Anambra and other other SE states but that of Ebonyi is false.
I am from Ebonyi, and the truth is that we are still educationally disadvantaged.
Many students can't afford to register their ssce, the quality of education is still very poor.
We still have high number of out of school children, especially in the Abakaliki zone.
Many schools in the rural areas don't have STEM teachers.
It is better that Ebonyi is still listed as an educationally disadvantaged state as that is to our cooperate advantage.
Cuz an Ebonyi candidate will be considered first in Admission in let's say ABU, UNIPORT, UNILAG, BUK before an Anambra or an Edo candidate who are considered to be educationally privileged over an Ebonyi person.

You are out of touch and conducted no research unlike Statisense.

Yujin:
You have a point.
I'll really like to se Ebonyi state removed from her current educational status but we have to ensure it won't lead to a relapse because the extra funds are really handy to support the state.
How many years of consistency is expected before her upgrade is left for ndu-Ebonyi to determine.
God Bless Ebonyi State
God Bless Ana Igbo
God Bless Biafra.

Ameen

Abagworo:
The funds are needed for consustency before being withdrawn. Sudden withdrawal may spark resurge in drop out rate.

you’re right. The progress needs to be strengthened.

Arda1000:
nice one but the bolded is wrong as someone from Ohaozara we say ndi not ndu or whatever
Ebonyi is progressing am so proud of Ebonyi state.

God bless you.

Some states are performing abysmally. It goes to show there’s high school drop out rates in those states.

Since creation in 1996, the state has been put in educationally less disadvantaged states category.

However, after coordinated, consistent strategies in revamping education, and in ensuring low out of school children, this is the statistics in 2021 with the image below.


This is for the whole Nigeria.

Congrats Ndu Ebonyi. (Ebonyi people call it Ndu not Ndi).

Ebonyi needs to be removed from Educationally Less Disadvantaged States in Nigeria.

This Fulani born and raised in Abakiliki is here again with his tiny brain, you should be in rice farm instead of here

Imo state government is visionless.

If it was Ebonyi that had access to river that terminates to Atlantic Ocean, they’d have signed the pact with foreign private investors. Ebonyi Govt always love infrastructure.

Let me be observing them(Ebonyi) on their intra-state railway corporation construction for now.

successmatters:
Did you miss my comment about exclusive and concurrent lists?

You don’t know anything. Private company built new lekki seaport in agreement with Lagos State government


Lagos state government


If Imo wants to do same, let them follow similar template nobody is stopping them.


Go on and keep making excuses for your useless governors. They are delighted.

successmatters:
And I though I was chatting with an adult

Child, a state government cannot negotiate with an international organisation to work in areas like the airport, seaport, security or oil and gas. Its on the exclusive list. When Jonathan was in power, he muted the idea of dredging the river Niger and he was fought till they removed him. Some people were afraid that it will decongest Lagos.

Is it federal government that did it for lekki seaport or Lagos state govenrment in partnership with private consortium?

successmatters:
Federal Inland waterways authority

how does that relate to my comment? Your governor of imo state does not want to sign agreement with private consortium to develop Oguta lake into viable riverport and dredge it down to atlantic.

legitnow1:
^LISTEN VERY WELL.


THIS IS HOW YORUBA PEOPLE ARE, AND Y WE CALL THEM TWO FACED BACK STABBERS, BETRAYERS.


SEE AS PERSON CARRY MARKET FOR HEAD OVER IDEA OF PORT THAT IS NOT EVEN DRAWN UP.


THAT WAS THE SAMETHING THEY DID ABOUT AIRPORTS, KILLED STELLA SON, YET TODAY AIRPORTS HAVE BEEN BUILT IN SE REGIONS AND MORE WILL STILL BE BUILT.


THE LAUNCHING OF EBONYI AIRPORT, THEIR TEARS FLOWED.


WE IGBOS DONT TALK, WE BUILD, JUST A MATTER OF SMALL TIME, U WILL START SEEING SEAPORTS, EVÉRYWHERE.

Was it not your fellow Igbos from Anambra and Enugu were trashing Ebonyi airport because it’ll reduce neighbouring Enugu airport traffic?

successmatters:
Tomorrow you will say Imo state is not in charge of FIWA

whats fiwa

Dikastan:
Our governor has signed a contract to build railway in Anambra. Different projects go simultaneously in my state,we don't need to finish railway before building the park. Remove hatred in your life so that breeze of progress will blow in you

Ebonyi also has an intra-state railway corporation in the construction stage so what do you mean I’m hating?

PaulNwosu:
Beyond that, the East is not directly abbuting the Atlantic ocean. So, the leadership will need the permission of Niger Delta States through which the river flows into Oguta.

Now, will those states give the SE permission to embark on a project intended to bypass the existing Niger Delta port at Onne?

The SE needs to make it a JV with the SS for this to succeed.

they will obviously take SE government to court for dredging their land and exposing it to land sliding and erosion which will surely occur if not properly managed. Their chiefs, kings, community leaders and pressure groups will win in court. Not to mention the tribalism that will play out.

Ok you think they will let you dredge it so that Ibom, Onne and Calabar seaports will have less patronage and dredged inland Oguta riverport will boom?

If na you, will you allow such?

successmatters:
Dreams and dreams.

Let the government allow the user of the ports first, business people will make their decisions. You cannot assume for the businessman.

Shebbi Lagos state govt signed a Construct, Operate, Transfer with a Singapore company to build Lekki seaport, own it, manage it, recoup their money in 100 years, and transfer ownership back to Lagos state government.


What exactly stops Imo state Government from meeting Chinese company to construct a seaport using exactly same approach?? You don’t need your money, they’ll use theirs if they feel it’s feasible and they can recoup their money back.

Na poor leadership una get. Nobody want to make the move.

Importer tells shipping company to use Oguta Riverport. Shipping company tells him it’s shallow and narrow and he prefers Lagos or alone port. Importer insists. Shipping company says ok it costs $30,000 extra for narrow navigation. Importer accepts. Importer pays. Goods arrive Oguta Riverport. Importer clears goods and increases cost of goods in the market so as to break even and make profit having spent more $30,000 to berth goods at Oguta.

Competitor importer in same line of business berths his good at Lagos seaport and uses trucks to cargo them into South East and sells same produce for 10,000 naira cheaper than Competitor who imported his goods at Oguta.

He outshines Oguta importer because of more patronage due to cheaper good.


Two scenarios will fall out.

1. Oguta importer makes his loss, regrets it and vows never to import from Oguta Riverport again, resorts to Lagos and Onne port once again.

2. Oguta importer insists importing through Oguta Riverport to grow Igbo maritime and keeps doing business at a loss.


You see why it is a suicide mission either way you look at it?


Enviousness and jealousy is what’s making you people insist on a seaport whereas you don’t have the deep waters for that. You don’t want to use a port in same Nigeria any longer.


That’s fine though. The only solution to two scenarios above is for Eastern Govt to dredge the canal from Atlantic Ocean into the Oguta Riverport. That’s a long nautical miles. It’ll have environmental effects such as land sliding, erosion of land/soil in nearby communities leading to the Oguta Riverport.

FG will not allow it. Not that the erosion can’t be curtailed though. But you’ll spend even more.

Hundreds of Billiond of Dollars will go down the drain.



Let’s not even talk about the outright refusal of tribal communities in SS whose lands face erosion should the dredging go through their community upland to Igboland. These tribal chiefs and Kings may play opposition and frustrate it at Court.

Ngozi123:
Did you read the article? Clearly, there are importers eager to use the seaport. That's why there's interest for it in the first place.

This thread is for the development of Igboland. If you have nothing constructive to say then please leave.

Shake my head

Is this what Nigerians need currently?

No rail network in Anambra to lessen pressure on shoddy roads and improve Anambra infrastructure

Na amusement park

Whereas her citizens are in Lagos quarrelling why there is no Igbo language in Lagos Metro Rail.

PaulNwosu:
Carry your father and go fight your war.

You cowards will drag innocent Igbo youths to get them killed and then flee to Abidjan or London. May Alusi wipe out your family.

Amen

matrixme:
To be honest, there is really nobody holding the igbos from building their own riverport to the sea. Now that PBAT had removed the impediment of centrally controlled electricity, and equally told regional governor's to work on their own railway. There has been no concrete plan by any governor in the South East to build a feasible port anywhere. Obi the "wise guy" decided to use state funds to build a brewery rather than a functional river port, lobbying the then FG. The Imo state they are shouting about has never made even a move to build a port.
Recall that AKSG already has an approval for a deep seaport which they are working on already. I would have expected that Imo state governor who is actually APC would have gone to lobby Buhari in Abuja, but no. It's all emotional blackmail and false narratives on the internet

No business-minded ship will leave Lagos or Onne port which are deeper and easier to berth at, to navigate inland waterways to Imo state to berth.

I don’t know what Ngozi123 is talking about.

Unless Nigeria is landlocked and that Imo riverport at Oguta is the ONLY wateraccess.
