This is what Rivers did to the one in the East-west road, turned it to the police station

Imagine you visit a friend (you don't know he's a yahoo boy). And then EFCC lands like the eagle, arrest all of you. You see those guys bn displayed with no laptops, that might be the scenario. Just saying. Or maybe they are the real YBNL?

I dont believe all these story, so anyone with laptop is a yahoo boy right.That yahoo boys wey dey Uk plenty pass 9ja x10, imagine if they start arresting anyone with laptop, if you noticed, all they have is laptop as evidence they never publish what is in the laptop

Triniti:
What are they waiting for in executing this man and his police dpo accomplice? This fool of man chased this young boy in an open street and shot him dead at close range just because he came to collect the money for the laptop he sold to his daughter, killed and drag his dead body to the police station as a thief. Connived with the dpo and buried him without contacting any members of his family, I suggest they put him in an electric chair so that he can feel the pains he caused the family of this young boy.

I think I remember this case, was a sad one. Justice was done.

thanks, I sure hope to go that one of these days.

cool

It would be better if they approve this port for importation as well. Apapa is over congested for God sake

Bross who tell you say no xport??

Prince4mic:
onne port.

just so you know, the port is currently deserted as there as no contracts for vessels and massive lay-off of staffs.

For the very first time I got to onne port and saw only two vessels at the quayside. I wept
I knew the current economic policies aren't helping the maritime sector.

na wahoooo bross when was this??

writeprof:
The 'system' arranged it like that for political reasons against those you mentioned. A sane system will not empower one man or one state to provide service to millions of people when it should not be so. Again, I wonder, if the Onne Port is really all the OP said about it-

It is all the OP said and even more, why dont you spend a day or two in PH and see for yourself, mayB you might help increase traffic there!

Mosesm:
Too many ignorant youths is actually Nigeria problem.
Onne is only for exports.
It was arranged so for political reasons.
Afonjas won’t let it work
Onne sound Igbo
Blah blah blah.

The facilities is for imports and exports, in fact the heavy crane is to handle imports, 0r what heavy stuffs is Nigeria exporting.
Lagos port is NOT the only port for importers. It is just that insecurity scare importers from others.

Nah its the lack of fleets thats stops the influx of vessels to ports like Onne. International flights frm the EU and America do not land in every Airport in Nigeria for a reason.

Gozzzy:
it's sad that it's just an export port, when it can be an import, port... Nigeria imports more than she exports.... so that South Easterners and South Southerners will come back home.

Its an Import port, I have imported fru the said port multiple times as we speak.The vessels going there are very few hence the slowness.

The leader of Jukun Development Association, Mr. Bako Benjamin has posted the picture of some Tiv militia who were killed at Rafinkada in Wukari by Jukun youths. According to him the Tiv militia trooped into the area to attack the residents but Jukun youths repelled and killed most of them while few fled in different ways.

That guy should be tried in a court and sentenced to death, he has no lawful right to kill anyone, he is not backed by any law, more worrisome is he even snapped pic standing on them. How barbaric can he get?

BeautifulMind2:
Fact, River Niger channel is very important to the North and South East to be independent from West, Baro port was started by Yar'adua completed by Buhari, Buhari will what that River port to start functioning before the end of his regime.

The Southeast is ok with Onne port and is currently using it as we speak as for the North, the dry port should be their focus if they are serious instead of wasting money. We have more pressing issues like constant power.

Take a ride on Lagos-ibadan express way then come back here. I'll gladly and conveniently pay for all ur expenses if u feel the ride was a waste of time

You lot will just come here and type trash just cos you have the network, I drove fru that Road circa Ikeja to PHC November just gone, I only came off it at teh shagamu fly over to join the lagos Bennin xpress, so what changed?
FYI, I don't enter buses, I drive or fly.SLippers get sises

Am not saying d info he provided is wrong. If u check my initial query, I asked y is warri port underutilized? and that spending $3.9b on a new port isn't justified when d existing one is underutilized. If d new port is built will it not suffer d same fate based on what u have just said? Unfortunately, d guy left d issues I raised& started talking about the shallow port. So I sent him on an errand

Well I agree with part of what you said, cos in reality Im actually surprised by saying they are building a new port WHERE?? cos the port of warri is functioning fully to what it can handle.People import fru there for things used in that region.The Issue of shallowness was raised by some govt official when it came to expansion and it was a political move to kill the port. The dredging has been left to private investors in the region.I sense this as another Scam if indeed these monies are to be paid or else story as usual. Onne Port is there whats the use of Warri port if not people growing some sense of entitlement that doesn't exist.

BeautifulMind2:
Inland waterways are secondary channels and are dependent on the international routes to operate. This is because inland ports and waterways have certain inherent limitations that prevent ocean-going vessels from passing or berthing at the ports. For instance, inland ports are usually bordered by bridges that make it impossible for big vessels to pass or berth.And with a draught of between 2.5 and 3.0 metres, inland waterways cannot accommodate big vessels that move on minimum draft of 8.5 metres. Consequently, mother vessels entering the country must first trans-load to smaller vessels which then will convey the goods through the inland channels to the river ports. The standard procedure is that mother vessels that are designed for a draught of between 8.5 and 10.5 metres ferry goods into the country and thereafter transfer the goods to barges, which in turn trans-load to smaller boats that can move on inland waterways and berth in inland ports.

Good xplanation but for vessel owners like Grimaldi, do you really wanna go fru that hassle? at what profit?logos is good for them to drop off as last West African port of discharge.

BeautifulMind2:
What is holding Baro river port and Onitsha River port is second Niger bridge project, there is no means small vessels can sail from warri port to Onitsha or Baro Niger state without going through Onitsha, JB has blocked the River Niger from Onitsha end, the ports will start functioning once they complete the bridge that main reason they are rushing the project, JB promised to deliver the bridge in 2020/2021

Lubish, the true problem they will have is Vessels choosing to go there, its like saying Lufthansa will land in Warri Airport by force. Please take the Onne Port as a case study as it is in private management.

zabuur:
Only d few words u used to express yourself has said a whole lot about u.

You might be surprised cos these few words summarised the minute thinking of the vast majority of Nigerians who by all means think FG is working. As you can see, even in a few words you fail to address a very simple question let alone complex one.This was how one Idiota came on Live TV to say Fixing the power problem was not rocket science when in fact he cant do nada,

lexy2014:
Pls read my post again & c how I used d word "closed".



D info on d links u have provided doesn't say d port is shallow or deep. What u should have done was to provide d minimum dimension of what u will consider a deep sea port& compare with d dimension of Warrior port

The i nfo that guy gave you is accurate, the only problems of Onne and Warri seaports are Underutilisation, if more vessels chose to land there then the port is game, however, the Fg cannot force this!unless the introduce a policy to force this.

Seriously? who the hell wrote this craaap, is there no seaport in Warri already?? so what are they constructing when there is a functional seaport there.?

Here are part of the things we've needed before 1999 and we are just getting now.

If some would like, let them come here and curse the present govt. Na their headache.

If PDP could complete 16 years of misrule and Lagos - Ibadan expressway could not be fixed, then why should we even ever consider them. Even when their presidential candidate took part in 8 out of the 16 years.

And during these 16 years, we had a Yoruba man (obasanjo), a Hausa (yaradua) and a representative from the Eastern part (Jonathan) all from PDP. We couldn't get, good roads, security, power, rail etc.

4 years now what % have them in power now achieved??/ is the Ibadan logos xpress fixed?

Donald95:
If you don't like the injustice, go back to your country, build it and fight aginst bad government that tries to destroy not crying online for juatice that u may never get as a visitor

After the war, Germany, Britain, Russia, and other world power didn't sit down and looked while USA carried the glory of the country with the most deadly weapon but rather they worked hard to produce their own to prevent intemidation. Until Africans and her government stop crying and start working, we will keep being pushed around like dogs

What has this shyte post got to do with the narrative of the OP?

Beautyaddy:
No way!!!

Are these current and real pictures of the Mile 2-Apapa Express way? Like seriously

And these are real human beings living and passing through that very disgraceful road

yes way, I witnessed this 1st hand

Fifty-nine commercial sex workers in Calabar have been arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS)

In a report by Vanguard, Mr Ilupeju Adebayo, Director of the DSS Command in Cross River, made the disclosure to newsmen on Saturday in Calabar.

He said those arrested were picked up around 2:15 a.m on Saturday at the Peace Garden Hotel and Papsi Place, Calabar and they are made up of 43 girls and 16 men.

He said:

“We got an intelligence report and swung into action. We have been on the matter for months. We discovered that the girls are mostly underage, mostly between the ages of 13, 15, and 19 years of age.

“We also know that they were brought in by a cartel, deeply involved in the business of trafficking and using the girls as commercial sex workers.

“The girls then bring returns to them at the beginning or close of the week, depending on their modus operandi.

“We have made some arrests including that of the owner of Papsi Place, a brothel that houses mostly underage girls who pay him N2,000 on week days and N4,000 at weekends as lodging fees.

“They operate from the hotel, to clubs were we arrested them stark naked.

“We have contacted the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), while investigations are ongoing until all those involved in the illicit trade are arrested and charged to court,’’

where is it then?

Cryomancer:
Nice gesture...

But what then will happen to the young ones with 2nd class and 3rd class degrees who are becoming a tool to be used by the devil due to unemployment and corruption in the economy?

The children of these elites don't need a PhD to secure a job in any government ministries but reverse is the case for a common man who's father is nobody..... Nigeria is a big mistake.!!

U got to start from somewhere even the great River Nile has its source from a small drip up in the mountains.

Ugosample:
no need for plenty grammar and you end up talking even more grammar

your own experience is equally not a yardstick to judge others, based on your own logic.

I have been profiled at the point of entry in different occasional (not all the time tho) and those of us here with similar experience can relate

Okay let me give you an instance

have you been taken to a holding room before and your currency scrutinised one by one because they assume that every Nigerian carries fake currency?
yes indeed, I had that experience

how about when we were asked to identify ourselves in a residential complex where me and my friend's rented to stay short term, and on identifying the three of us as NIGERIANS, we were taken to station for further questioning

tho they were polite and professional, and later apologised (apparently there was a jacking in the area and someone must have reported)
the stress and discomfort was too much.

those are just two experiences of more.
I have been denied a rental because I'm Nigerian too (filled it in my application and that was it)

You are our of touch with current happenings so I will not blame you, YOU ARE PROBABLY ABOVR 40 years and look old and
only old people don't get profiled as much

but if you are a man looking 35 below, chances of profiling IS HIGH.

since you insisted on my experience, I have given you two

All that you mentioned would have happened to you if you were from Jamaica. My point is not cos you are Nigerian but as far as you are a Visa national you are subject to control without notice. There was a time where the British would not let their houses to the Irish, it was the turn of the polish and more recent the Romanians. And for your illustration up there, what countries did that happen?

You compare appointment with distinguished senatorial seat. An appointment that can be terminated by your gods Buhari. You guys really deceive this man call Akpabio and he thought he can play arround with Akwa Ibom people. We don't worship anyone we know our Worth.

This guy you are xtreemly ignorant and backward, who told you the appointment has anything to do with Buhari? its an International appointment, nothing to do with Nigeria. Listen to proper news una nor gree nah backyard news una dey listen to

Baawaa:
