N4Billion is way too small for a state government to embark on meaningful developmental projects.

crownprince102:
You sure say you dey alright?

You don chop this morning?

GEJ of all people,

* 15 thousand lost their one and only life.
* 2 million were displaced
* 18 died in immigration recruitment after a total sum of 520 million naira was collected from Jobless youth
* $20 billion oil fund was missing
* You and I struggle to buy petrol at high prices and the subsidy fund on it was missing.
* Over 2000 was abducted by BH, including the Chibok girls.
* Oil reserve was drained by 50%


The list is endless, are you normal at all? If one of your family member was included in the listed dealth toll, you won't be spewing trash.


Can you defined Cluelessness?
Cluelessness is you, GEJ and all his supporters.


God almighty will govern your life the same way GEJ governed Nigeria. Pls say Amen.

These insult of yours does nothing to deviate from a globally recognizable fact Yar' adua is the weakest and the most clueless president Nigeria ever produced, just point to one thing, just one thing that he achieved in two and a half years apart from bribing militants?

This man's tenure heralded the beginning of cluelessness in Nigeria's government. GEJ is 100 times better than him, he was never in charge for a single day, the mafia reigned supreme, he was busy reversing everything reversible without starting anything meaningful except bribing aggrieved militants.

His war against anti corruption was legendary, banishing Ribadu into exile while making Ibori his strongest ally......May we never as a nation be bedeviled by his likes again. Amen

Kashamu, how many people do you want to sue?
Just go to the US and tell them that you are not the Alhaji Kashamu they are looking for, that your own name is Buruji Kashamu, thazall.
All this law suits will not help you o, very soon now you will start suing Boko Haram

Mutuwa:
Atiku: most powerful V.P
Sambo : Something else..

Tunde Idiagbon, the most powerful VP ever, Sambo the weakest.

All these long stories just to claim Lagos?

waternogetemeny:
That port is the game changer in the east. Watch how industry, trade and commerce will just go off the chain in that region

What about the ports at warri, onne, Calabar and Port Harcourt? Those ones are not game changers it is Ibaka that will be the game changer? Even the dry port at Onitsha has been comatose since 1982 when it was first commisoned by shagari, GEJ recommisined it in 2012 and it still remains comatose.

Now lets be practical for once Nigerians....no nation develops by relying on proceeds of crude oil sales, that commodity is too volatile for God's sake.

We need to duversify our revenue generation profile as quickly as possible and the only way to achieve that its by increasing our revenue to gdp ratio just like NOI has said

prophetfire:
so why did the war get worse after foolish jonathan removed ihejirika to appease north?the war shd have ceased.buhari dt used to accuse jona of killing'innocent' northern youths is now vowing to make the war against bh worse.

It didnt get worse after Ihejirika was removed....Boko haram started getting annihilated after his removal.

CHIBUIKE AMAECHI TAKE NOTE!!!

Amaechi won the war ....you guys can keep gliating over the battle. About 2 years ago Amaechi told Goodluck that May 29th this year he will ensure that Goodluck becomes jobless....the rest as they say is history.

Do you know how nany ibos act in Yoruba movies? Find out and you will be shocked.

angelTI:
FFK will not disappoint.

Precious!
Precious!!
Precious!!!

How many times did I call you? You are toiling with your destiny ooo

Leave her let her toy with her destiny biko.... who no like better thing

Badgers14:
They skipped my name again

Dont worry keep working and praying hard i see your name appearing in the book of life.

Sometimes i am forced to believe that are still true prophets in Nigeria..... this man's prophecy is 100% accurate despite being almost 3 years old.

I thought Onitsha river port was commission by president Goodluck Jonathan

Onitsha River Port Begins Operation
01 Sep 2012
President Goodluck Jonathan
By John Iwori
Following its formal commissioning by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Thursday, the multi-billion Onitsha River Port Complex, Anambra State has begun operations.
Various cargo handling equipment were seen in operations as the euphoria that heralded the formal
commissioning of the Onitsha River Port Complex
ebbed with the departure of guests to the venues of
other projects earmarked for commissioning
The formal unveiling of the Onitsha River Port Complex, which is located in the commercial nerve centre of the Eastern part of the country, followed its complete rehabilitation by the Federal Government.
While performing the cutting of tape ceremony, President Jonathan said the N4.6 billion River Port was unique and a signal for more things to come.

It was initially commisioned by the Shagari administration, Goodluck simply recommisioned as i type full operations are yet to commence

redcap:
Cost of transporting a trailer load(1 container) to lagos is about 250k where as to clear the same consignment is twice in price in onne,we talking a difference of over a million naira.pls say what you know abeg.
I'll be saving millions if I clear in Lagos and still sell my wares here.

Ok now i understand you, there must be a cogent reason why it cost 2ce as much to clear goods @ Onne than Lagos but i dont know the reason

redcap:
Why is it that clearing goods at onne port is twice the price of tincan/apapa port.Lagos port has too much incentives from FG these are the only reasons am still in Lagos tbh.

Like i said earlier....the location of Lagos, particularly its proximity to industries is the key. However if your business is in the east and you clear your goods at Onne even if it is at twice the price i think it can still be profitable since you will be spending less on transport compared with goods cleared at Lagos ports then transported to the east.

kodded:
IS IT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ?
...........IS IT UP TO LAGOS STATE SEAPORT STANDARD ?


MODIFIED:
trust me when large cargo ships start coming in to those seaports in se and ss ....... lagos will be forgotten

How can Larger cargo ships start coming there if you people dont use them? You want more ports yet the ones that you have are rarely used. The reason the Lagos port is being mostly used is because of the proximity to industries.

So if you want the ports in SE and SS to be viable you will have to site industries there first and then start using them.

For your information more ports are on their way in Lekki, Badagry, Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom, sorry to disappoint you none is in the east because the Onitsha river port commisioned by Shagari was never viable from day one infact it was abandoned almost immediately. GEJ promised to resuscitate but i guess he abandoned it for the more politically expedient 2nd river Niger bridge.

EUROBOMBER:
Why are they not being used?

I actually searched google and the major reason adduced for their unviability is the lack of industries in the SE and SS to service them. They are very rarely used almost 90% of goods come into Nigeria through Lagos ports.

kodded:
LET THE SEAPORT START FUNCTIONING 100% AND LET SEE IF THE IGBOS WILLNT LEAVE THAT FILTHY LAGOS AND COME BACK HOME.
...............BUT AM QUITE SURE APC WILLNT REPAIR THE SS AND SE SEAPORT SO THAT LAGOS WILL STILL BE THE CENTER OF TRADE AND INVESTMENT IN THE COUNTRY ............SMH

There are sea ports in warri, Onne and Calabar......oya start going back home.

Biko start your bombing in time....it doesnt concern Lagos we simply increase our taxes on your businesses and also increase the taxes on your goods that comes in through our ports.....you lose in both ways...pollute your land, reduce your income and of course you pay more tax....Thaz all.

By the way, millitants were bombing when OBJ made enough money to pay Nigerias debt and even left huge money in reserves.... millitants were not bombng when GEJ took more debts and depleted the reserves.... if you ask me i think i prefer the bombing period.

emmysoftyou:
is it because yu re angry yu said so?
Anyway i pardoned you but
ondo oil is more or less than anambra oil but not as large as imo and abia state oil pls take note.
if ondo oil is as big as yu proclaimed it to be,why is the state still in a poor state like osun state

Can u please consult google....please do and you will be shocked. Just google oil producing states in nigeria and their output.

uzolexis:
Nigeria of course n it's their oil money that is used 2 develop ur so called yoruba land wc is a part of Nigeria.

Once again you are wrong..... without Niger Delta revenues from port and Value added tax generated from my region is enough to develop it better than it is now. Before oil exploration started in Nigeria my region's economy was one of the fastest growing in the world, with rapid industrialisation and a vibrant agriculture system.

What your oil has done is to bring in all manners of people to over populate my region, while paying my region peanuts from the proceeds of oil.... heck Lagos state still has to source more than half of its revenue internally while the oil states enjoy their booty and most of their indigenes are making their abode in my region.

To cap it all ...Ondo state produces more oil than the whole of south east.

uzolexis:
Our ports It's Nigeria's port dear stop talking like an illiterate

But the Oil in the Delta belongs to who? Nigeria or Niger Delta?

slikcipher:
Oga shut up .... Shut up, did u or your father build any port? The port is government owned and for all Nigerians ... So shut the Bleep up. The problem I have with u guys is u don't travel. Gosh!!!! Travel and enlighten yourselves my Yoruba brothers.. Travel!!!!/

Did you and all your fore fathers manufacture the oil in the Delta? So much for travels, can u please upload pictures of your international passport ?

ILIDEFI:
Even my cousin built his rented house in Ogun state. Lagos is already congested, so getting a land is much easier and cheaper in Ogun state.

Thanks for the validation...God bless you.

Reference:
Other ports are being built as we speak. Don't count your chickens just yet.

Hahahahahh.... they have always been in the pipeline....building ports is one thing, making them viable is another.

Have you ever wondered why even oil companies are all headquartered in Lagos? The Odua spirit of course......the spirit of economic prosperity and viability.

ILIDEFI:
So 14th century is 4000 years before Nigeria's amalgamation? So much for the quality of education these days.

Now let me ask you, how come no other south western state is a tenth as economically viable as Lagos? Why are all other Yoruba states as poor as they are and less economically viable than their south eastern counterparts? Take Lagos away from the south west for a moment and see how poor the Yoruba region is.

You are very wrong sir....Ogun state now has more industries than Lagos.....we dont indulge in chest beating we build world class cities.

chidooh1:
I didn't say your harbour was discovered with oil money, i said your seaport was built with oil money.

Even the hausas claim that they also invested their own money in oil exploration in the Niger Delta.....so technically Niger Delta oil also belong to the Federal Government too.

chidooh1:
The ports ur talking about were built with oil money. The place u call ur land was developed with oil money .The people u claim that make billions from ur land are the same people that stabilize ur economy and bring good life/progress to ur land. So, why won't u be grateful for just once in ur life.

The ports existed hundreds of years before the first drop of oil was found in Naija Delta and they will continue existing long after the oil has become as worthless as pure water. Its not for nothing that the british made Lagos their abode.

You really need to dust your books and read more often leaving your life based on myths and hearsays is not gonna help your life.

Optimall:
Believe me if they all stay home,Lagos will be nowhere near where it is today.
Because why?
You guys are all bunch of lazy bumms!
Na me talk am...

Oya just go home and save us all these noise.
