samorobo:
Yes and we would be including our new world class deepseaport
Lekki deepseaport completion date is this year
$2.5bn ibom deapseaport -2021
2.65 badagry deepseaport -2023
Port harcourt deepseaport
Ibaka deepseaport.
Let me just stop here

That's right. But the Badagry deep seaport has been cancelled and relocated to Ondo state.

It wasn't a good switch. We needed someone to make runs in behind something Moses Simon doesn't do.

The South Africans attacked through the right wing because they noticed Ahmed was not helping Collins, and they eventually succeeded in getting a goal as a result of that.

What Rohr needed to do was to bring in a player to support Collins defensively and also attack though he ought to have done that before the equaliser hence the need to introduce Simon.

I don't think Onyekuru was the best option to nullify the South African's tactics of getting the ball through Collin's wing.

You can see after Simon Moses came on he did the job very well and there was balance.

It was all about tactics.

Game over.

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!

Mildfield is weak.

Rohr should have made the change before they equalised.

Jarus:
I have always suspected there will be VAR decision controversy in this game.

Na confirm goal.

Nonsense game.

We should do some changes now.

We should use this opportunity to score more goals oooo.

Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Mbeki:
After the Fulanis systematically captured and made Ilorin their territory, they sacked the old Oyo Empire in 1835/1636. They were still not satisfied with their victory; they wished to extend their rule deep into the heart of Yoruba land. Thus in 1840, they set to capture Osogbo, a Yoruba town. The Fulanis, under the command of Ali, the Hausa balogun of Ilorin, laid siege on Osogbo. When the king of Osogbo realized that the Ilorins were too strong for the Osogbo army, he summoned the Ibadans for help. Ibadan immediately sent some auxiliaries to Osogbo under the command of Obele alias Mobitan, and Alade Abimpagun. As this force could not stop the Ilorins, another contingent was sent to Osogbo under a more experienced leader. But still the Ilorins won every battle and gained more ground.
When Ibadan realized that the Ilorins were becoming more threatening to Yoruba land, they sent a large and stronger force under Balogun Oderinlo to crush the intruding forces and Jammas of Ilorin. When Oderinlo and his men arrived at the battlefield, they realized that things had gone worse than they thought. They could not show their faces in the open field for the fear of the Ilorin horses, and for about 20 days after their arrival at Osogbo, they could not fight outside the town thickets. Oderinlo suggested that Elepo, a brave Ibadan warrior was badly needed at the war-front. Elepo had been rejected by the war-chiefs of Ibadan for his actions at the late Agbamaja expedition. As soon as the message from Oderinlo reached Ibadan, the Bashorun wished he could send Elepo to Osogbo but could not go against the wish of other war-chiefs. The Bashorun gave Elepo a cow to worship his god, Ori, and pray for the victory of Ibadan at the war-front.
At the war-front, the Ibadan could not attack the Ilorins during the day because Osogbo was practically in a plain and the Ilorin horses might have advantage of them with disastrous results. They decided to attack at dusk when the Ilorins would no longer be able to use their horses. About 2:pm, the well prepared Ibadan army left the gate of Osogbo for the battlefield. They were to keep a strict watch and arrest anyone suspected to be a spy. About a mile from the Ilorin camp, they halted and arranged the order of the attack. The Osogbo army and the earlier auxiliaries were to handle the center of the battlefield, chiefs Abitiko and Labuju were to command the right wing, Balogun Oderinlo with the rest of the Ibadan war-chiefs were to form the left wing of the army. The Ilorin camp was then attacked at midnight. The watchword was “Elo ni owo odo?” (How much is the ferry fare?). The reason this watchword was chosen was because the river Osun had to be crossed in entering Osogbo from the south, and anyone who could not tell this was likely to be an enemy.
Stampede engulfed the Ilorin camp as the Ibadan army set it on fire. The Ilorins could not offer the slightest resistance; they were smoked with the gunpowder of the Ibadan guns. This attack was a success for the Ibadan. Some Ilorin war-chiefs were captured in the attack. Prominent ones were:

Jimba the head slave of the Emir;
One of the sons of Ali the commander in chief;
Chief Lateju;
Ajikobo the Yoruba Balogun of Ilorin.

Fulani didn't destroy Oyo empire. It was Afonja the General of the Oyo empire and hired Fulani soldiers that destroyed Oyo empire.

After that, he was killed by Alimi who helped joined hands to destroy Oyo empire.

They can't even match Ivory Coast!

The largest Ports in West Africa

1.Ivory Coast: Port of Abidjan - the largest West African port

2.Nigeria: Port of Lagos

3.Ghana: Port of Tema and Port of Takoradi

4.Senegal: Port of Dakar

5.Togo: Port of Lomé

6.Benin: Port of Cotonou

http://en.reingex.com/Ports-West-Africa.shtml

Port of Abidjan handles only 21M tonnes.

Meanwhile!

Problemkid1:
And the guy is busy making noise in our forum. Funny creatures

No mind the boy.

edi287:
Keshi dropped Osaze because he requested shuttle between AFCON and playing for West Brom(and also something involving seeing his kid).
Like I said - in as much as Osaze should have been at that AFCON, we still had enough options upfront and out wide.
As for Martins - well we saw that Keshi liked playing with target men upfront e.g Emenike, Ideye, Shola Ameobi, Bright Dike.

It's not true. Keshi never wanted to invite those players

Martins played as a target man yet scored goals for Levante.

charlesemeka85:
we have better wingers than ojo now. my biggest worry is our midfield

Having many options, not bad.

jihday:
We af suffer

Make coach use Ezenwa then.

Jonraid:
That's way low for Nigeria!

No! 30M tonnes is low for 5 countries.

Yobeezy:
No you're wrong , Kenya has other several ports such as Malindi, Kilifi, Kilindini Harbour‎, Kiunga,
Kipevu Oil Terminal, Kiunga, Funzi and among others but Mombasa port is just the main port and the gateway to east and central Africa beating all west African ports in terms of performance.
Besides, Kenya's Lamu port that is purported to be Africa's largest port upon completion is already taking shape and its phase one is 60% complete.
TayserMahri once posted the progress of Lamu port in this thread, you can peruse back and check if you care to do so
Jonraid told you very well you guys should shut up in terms of ports.

Those other ports are as good as dead.

We are also building seaportS.

Jonraid:
Link?

Google it.

Jonraid:
What of your 200 million people ?


Your ports must be handling more rice bags propping up those little numbers that you are staging!

We are around 45-50 m!


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-14/usda-sees-nigeria-rice-imports-increasing-to-3-4m-tons-in-2019

*Yawn* story.

Jonraid:
We were doing 30 million tons in 2018,in 2019 it is going to be 31m. What are your figures?

So, it's just 30M?

We are not in the same level. Lagos seaports alone handle 32M tonnes.

Jonraid:
Mombasa port is the best port in EAC with Abidjan being the best port in West Africa!

It doesn't change the fact that your port handles the same amount of 30M tones Lagos seaports handles.

Jonraid:
About 70%

25% for Uganda,Northern Tanzania,S.Sudan,Rwanda,Burundi and Eastern Congo share the rest 5%.

That is not even up to the capacity of one seaport in Nigeria.

Jonraid:
Take into account the presence of Djibouti and Dar Es Salam Ports that also serve other neighbouring countries!

So, Togo, Benin, Ghana, Ivory coast, Senegal etc seaports should not be taken into account?

Mombasa port has to rely on 5 other neighbouring countries to survive else it would be in comatose by now.

Jonraid:
Get to know first the amount of cargo only destined for Kenya before yapping!

Tell me the amount. I am all ears.

rvp2018:
Mombasa handles 32M tonnes or about now.

30M tonnes for 5 countries is a disgrace. Lagos seaports handles around 32M tonnes for only Nigerians.

NairobiWalker:
The one Kenyan seaport handles more than the 6 Nigerian seaports combined so what is your point?

PS...........we are building the largest port in Africa in Lamu as we speak.

https://www.lapsset.go.ke/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/lamu-port-construction.jpg

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D7OtiRcXoAIAQ9n.jpg

Mombasa's total annual cargo tonnage is 22 million. am I right?

How can that be 6 times of what even one seaport in Nigeria handles?

Jonraid:
PWC report on different performance indicators of Sub-Saharan African Ports!

https://www.pwc.co.za/en/assets/pdf/strengthening-africas-gateways-to-trade.pdf

Nigeria has 6 seaports but only one was mentioned. If we add the other 5, should be number 1 or 2 behind South Africa.

Unlike, Kenya that has one serving 5 countries.

Yobeezy:
Even Ghana has outperformed the so called 'giant of Africa'

Nigeria has 6 seaports. Kenya has one seaport that serves 5 countries. Very poor.
