Travel / Re: Every Nigeria City Should Learn Something From The Collapse Of Warri. by felix281(m): 6:16am On May 16, 2023 |
[quote author=tomitrace post=123140040]War destroys cities: Every Nigeria City or aspiring city should learn something from the Collapse of Warri as Oil Cityπππ Warri was a big industrial hub in the 70's - 90's. Warri Refinery, NNPC, DSC, Delta Glass, Shell, Chevron, Schlumberger, Dunlop, Agip, Saipem, Halliburton were in full operation back then. Escravos & Forcados were at their peak. The city thrived. The city was full of zeal and zestful activities. People living outside hardcore Warri called themselves Wafarians because of propinquity to Warri even though they were not Wafarians. To be a Wafarian was to belong to supposedly a unique lifestyle. Multinational/Local Banks were present Citibank, FBN, ACB, Savannah Bank. Business activities thrived. Warri port was a beehive of economic activities Entertainment/Night life was at its peak, Musicians, Live bands at Palmgroove Hotel, Comedians held their sway: Fela, legendary Don Baker, Majek Fashek, Emma Grey, Oritz Wiliki, Rex Lawson were a few of many of the entertainers that made Warri ebullient. Lido, Zina, etc were comparable to their ilks anywhere. The town was full of life and it thrived. McDermot road was busy with Maritime activities and contractors. Kingsway Mall offered anything sold in Lagos at that time. Joma & Mosheshe were big fish distributors across the Niger Delta. Rubber produced locally, was used to produce plastics and tyres. The town grew in size and became a conurbation with people coming from all over the country to settle down in Warri for economic activities. The Airports were super busy, Escravos, Forcados & Warri Airport. The Warri Airport was even relocated to Osubi for expansion. Warri was revelling in its glory. Warri Port was fully operational and served as an economic booster for the city. It served businesses in Warri, Benin, Asaba & Onitsha. The Port created huge employment opportunities for locals and the state. Things started to go downhill from the late 90's. The community leaders and youth chairmen began to fight themselves over control/sharing formula for royalties that came from oil & businesses from settlers. Itsekiri, Urhobo & Ijaw leaders & youths started fighting each other. The bloody fight started around 1999 and lasted for years till 2003/2004. The community leaders started imposing local taxes called "Deve" on all companies, industries and local businesses, buildings & projects. Little by little, the companies frustrated, started leaving. This continued throughout the early 2000's till 2010. The companies kept on leaving, one after the other. The companies layed off their employees. Unemployment rose. More companies left for PH, Lagos, Akwa Ibom. They layed off more staff. Unemployment increased still. Today all that is left in Warri, is a shadow of its glorious past. 95% of all the big companies in Warri had either left or closed down. Most of the young people have left Warri. The ones left are driving Keke, doing P.O.S, Spa or Boutique, Beer parlour or doing hookup. There's peace now, but the damage the greedy community leaders did to Warri, still lingers on and is almost irredeemable at this point. Do not assume that your city can not be destroyed if it toes the same route Warri followed. Warri leaders did not ever believe that Warri will be this economically empty today while they were fighting then. Learn from Warri and protect our economies Have you asked why big eeconomies like US, China,etc will never allow war in their countries? We must learn and avoid things that will trigger war in our country no matter how strong we believe we are. Businesses and investors go where there is peace than where there is war. Follow us on This Is Nigeria[/quot This reminds me when my classmate from Warri told me that I will pay "Deve" to him for keeping Leacture seat for me....This Deve has been a cancerworn from ages. 1 Like |
