These people are chronically insecure. I can remember one unhinged Oba in Lagos who threatened his peaceful visitors to drown them in the lagoon if they refused to vote a particular candidate!

Don't mind those deluded "attachee by force". They live all their lives in fantasy and futility.

My village in Ogbadibo LG. shared common boundary with both Enugu state and Ebonyi state respectively and there are no indigenous Igbos in any of our bordered town.
Rather they is a part of Idoma speaking tribe "Ette" which transcend between Olamaboro LG. of Kogi state and Ogbadibo LG
in Benue state that was erroneously carved into Igbo-Eze north LG. in present Enugu state.

Like i said, the person u quoted argues like a child and is very childish.

All the Deep Seaport are built by the Federal government in Lagos.

Did dey miss the entire SS/SE? Y only Lagos?

U can see from the map all the coastline in Nigeria down south.

What wrong with graduating from a poly?

The seeds for the actualization of the twin projects: the 260 kilometre Calabar – Katsina – Ala highway and the Bakassi Deep Seaport were sowed May 29, 2015 at the inauguration of Senator Ben Ayade as governor of Cross River State.

Benefits
Just last week at a retreat held for his enlarged EXCO, an elated Ayade broke the news to the gathering that the federal government has given its nod for the Bakassi Atlantic Deep Seaport to go ahead. The governor also revealed that the current Sole Administrator of the Customs and Excise, Col. Hameed Ali has equally given approval empowering the implementation of the free trade zone status which has held back the Multi-billion naira Tinapa Leisure and Business Resort from realizing its full potential.

However, a public commentator writing for Crossriverwatch, Emmanuel Etim explained that “It is common knowledge that the existing ports in Nigeria, especially Apapa and Tin Can Ports in the Lagos axis, are overstretched with the attendant inordinate delays in cargo handling and processing. With capacity for 60 million metric tonnes of cargo handling, the ports run at 100 million metric tonnes. This is expected to increase.

“The construction of the Calabar Deep Sea Port will thus increase the volume of vessel traffic and cargo coming through Cross River State, decongest Lagos and Onne ports and reduce cost of doing business for Calabar-based businesses who spend additional transport cost to take delivery of their consignments in Lagos and Onne ports.

“Some companies that depend on the port for their business activities in Cross River State include General Electric, Tinapa Business Resort, Calabar Free Trade Zone, ECM Terminals Ltd, Intel Services and Cocoa Industries, Flour mills, Dangote Group etc. “Also with the ongoing expansion of Unicem Cement Company and other cement factories coming into the state, the port is expected to serve as export port for manufactured products from the state.

“Having established the fact of the strategic location of Cross River State and the proximity of the state to the northern states of Nigeria and countries bordering the north of Nigeria, it is clear that it makes more business sense for the businesses located in that zone to use the Calabar Deep Sea Port. This justifies the need for the second project; the evacuation corridor which is the Calabar Ikom Ogoja Obudu Super highway.

“The location which has been chosen for the development of the new deep sea port is a natural deep port and thus is not expected to face the challenge of regular dredging faced by the existing port. The deep Sea Port has natural features that will make it the preferred port for many vessels. The new deep sea port is planned to be located in Bakassi Local government Area of Cross River State,” he stated. http://www.nigeriatoday.ng/2016/11/criver-whos-afraid-of-super-highway-bakassi-atlantic-deep-seaport/

Laudate did u build an international airport in Port Harcourt? If u didn't, who did? This is not socialisation as if we were in the real world, i would have injured u by now.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has faulted a recent ranking which rated the Port Harcourt International Airport as the worst airport in the world.

This is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday in Lagos by Mr Yakubu Dati, FAAN’s General Manager, Corporate Affairs. NAN reports that the ranking by SleepingInAirports.net rated the Port Harcourt International Airport as “the dirtiest and most corrupt airport in Africa”.

FAAN, in its statement said, “Our stand is that the said ranking was unfounded as it did not take cognisance of the fact that the airport terminal was still undergoing remodeling.

“Some of its terminal operations are still conducted in a temporary structure”.

The statement pointed out that the existing domestic terminal, from which both international and local flights were conducted, was undergoing remodeling.

“Apart from this, construction work is also in progress at the site of the new international terminal.

“We believe that operations at such an airport where construction work is going on simultaneously with normal flight and related operations cannot be as conducive as in those airports where there are no on-going construction projects.

“Neither can environments at such different scenarios be equally clean, the statement added. https://www.informationng.com/2015/10/port-harcourt-airport-not-the-dirtiest-most-corrupt-in-africa-faan.html

U argue like a Child, how old are u exactly?

Y do u think the SE/SS love GEJ so much? He began construction of both International Airport in 2013 and works are still on till date. That is the argument here. Follow the tangent.

Since 1960s, it is only wen GEJ came to government that the entire SS/SE could boast of an International Airport that is still on the way.

The Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, received the first cargo aircraft in the airport on Tuesday.

Speaking at the occasion, the Governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, commended the Federal Government for the realisation of the cargo section of the airport.

The governor, who also addressed stakeholders and the business community that witnessed the landing of the first cargo aircraft in the airport, described the occasion as significant.

He said that the landing of the cargo aircraft, a Boeing 757 operated by Ethiopian Airlines, would open up the South-East of the country to the international community.

“Three years ago, precisely on August 24, 2013, we welcomed the first ever international flight to this airport operated by Ethiopian Airlines.

Today, we have gathered to celebrate the first landing of cargo courtesy of the same airlines.

We cannot over-emphasise the tremendous socio-economic benefit that this significant milestone in the history of aviation in the state promises to bring to the region,” he said.

Ugwuanyi said that the state government would take advantage of the economic benefits afforded by cargo delivery at the airport.

“Not only can our people fly to and from all parts of the world, but they can now have bulk cargo delivered to them through the airport.

It will save cost, enhance convenience in the importation of goods, create employment and help raise the profile of this airport.”

We thank the Ethiopian Airlines for taking the lead to assist our people in the economic development of our region.

I urge the business moguls to take advantage of this for the benefit of all,” Ugwuanyi said.

The Traffic and Sales Manager of the airlines, Biniam Addisu, said that the future of the cargo business in the airport was viable. https://www.bellanaija.com/2016/08/akanu-ibiam-international-airport-enugu-receives-first-cargo-aircraft/

Most State in Nigeria have an Airport, Rivers and Enugu are no exception. Enugu was upgraded to International Airport with remodeling of local airport and likewise port harcourt.

Enugu international terminal is yet to be completed, whilst port harcourt international terminal is not yet built.

U want to argue about Enugu International Airport that is still under construction from 2013 till date or is it Port Harcourt that they are yet to build?

Onne at best is a deep water port which is situated on the Bonny River Estuary along Ogu creek. Big ships are unable to access the port. I would think that the word Sea was enough clue for u but u insist on flogging a dead horse. I may not reply u again.

This is the coastline of Nigeria. In my Opinion Deep Seaport should be in every State with a Coastline.

Rather they are building two new deep Seaport in Lagos called Badagry Deep Seaport and Lekki Deep Seaport, to join,the Lagos Port Complex and Tin Can Island Port in Lagos

Port Harcourt International Airport (IATA: PHC, ICAO: DNPO) is an international airport located in Omagwa, a suburb of Port Harcourt, the capital city of the Rivers State in Nigeria. The airport has a single terminal with separate facilities for international and domestic flights. In 2009, the airport served 1,081,587 passengers, making it the third busiest airport in Nigeria.

The Port Harcourt non-directional beacon (Ident: PR) and VOR-DME (Ident: POT) are located on the field. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Harcourt_International_Airport

Onne Port Complex is situated along Bonny Estuary on Ogu Creek which is about 25 kilometers south of Port Harcourt, Rivers State of Nigeria. The geographical area of the Port spans between NAFCON (Now NOTORE) Jetty and Bonny Island. It passes-crosses three Local Government Areas of Rivers State, namely: Eleme, Ogu-Bolo and Bonny. The land area of approximately 2,500 hectares is situated on the soil of Eleme Local Government Area while the channel to the Port along Bonny River and Ogu Creek within Bonny and Ogu-Bolo Local Government Areas.

There are two major Terminal facilities at Onne Port Complex. These are the Federal Ocean Terminal (FOT ) and the Federal Lighter Terminal ( FLT ).

FEDERAL OCEAN TERMINAL (FOT)
The Federal Ocean Terminal has a total quay length of 2890 meters. This terminal which is deep and large was designed to accommodate and anchor bigger and ocean going vessels and to berth vessels of 40,100 to 50,000 DWT capacity. It was envisaged to be the largest, deepest most modern Port in the West and Central African sub-regions and has potential for expansion to serve both local and international investors. Being concessional to a multinational company called Intels Logistics services (INTELS), the construction of the Ocean terminal, was designed to be in 4 (four) phases. Three of this with 11 berths are completed and being utilized. http://www.nigerianports.org/AboutUsOnnePort.aspx

Could not be bothered to read all that, nexttime summarise.

There are no deep seaport in the SS/SE. Rivers, Akwa Ibom ARE southeast coast.

There are no functional international airport in SE/SS.

Dont bother with any long story, facts are often short and clear but bull shit are long incoherent and pointless.

MadamT:
I know. I saw it. Quite Embarrassing for him really. Gosh!

MadamT:
Thank you for your succinct answer as always. You are one of the very few posters whose posts I actually take time to read on the occasions I visit this section. Mature and intelligent.

Yea, it would be good to see clear facts and figures of how just one certain tribe developed Lagos. A claim I have seen bandied about here.

Hope the young man/woman who made the claim will come back and provide verifiable facts of how they developed Lagos?

Waiting but won't hold my breath...

Huddler:
I don't think so, you really don't need my facts and figures.

I owe you no explanation for that, of course I think knowing the name of your tribe really matters a lot and it will help solving the issue on ground, but since you choose not to say your tribe name I will pity you with this.

By 1872 Lagos was a cosmopolitan trading center with a population of over 60,000 people.Colonial Lagos developed into a busy, cosmopolitan port, with an architecture that blended Victorian and Brazilian styles. The Brazilian element was imparted by skilled builders and masons who had returned from Brazil Th.e black elite was composed of English-speaking "Saros" from Sierra Leone and other emancipated slaves who had been repatriated from Brazil and Cuba. By 1872 the population of the colony was over 60,000, of whom less than 100 were of European origin. In 1876 imports were valued at £476,813 and exports at £619,260. Telephone links with Britain were established by 1886, and electric street lighting in 1898.In August 1896, Charles Joseph George and G.W. Neville,both merchants and both unofficial members of the Legislative Council, presented a petition urging construction of the railway terminus on Lagos Island rather than at Ido, and also asking for the railway to be extended to Abeokuta. Lagos history is rich in Yoruba tradition,trade and commerce,infrastructural development and cosmopolitanism." -EXTRACTED With the little facts above, I would like to educate some illiterates making stupid assumption from blind sentiments that they developed Lagos. Lagosians had telephone presence in 1886, Itu and Calabar got connected to Telephone in 1923, while between 1946 and 1952, a three-channel line carrier system was commissioned between Lagos and Ibadan and was later extended to Oshogbo, Kaduna, Kano, Benin, and Enugu. Communication technology is a major signifier of civilizations and if Lagosians were already making telephone calls more than 70 years before your daddies, where then did you get the warped idea that you came to develop Lagos? By 1856 Cable and Wireless Company of the UK had commissioned a submarine cable link between Lagos and London and In 1851 a post office was established in Lagos; all these before of the emergence of Nigeria as an amalgamated country. If I may ask again, where did the stupid idea that Igbo developed Lagos came from? Or that Lagos was developed with Nigeria's money when Lagos was not even part of Nigeria until 1914. I always feel embarrassed anytime I read and hear even so-called educated people from the East making these stupid assertions. The first Yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first Igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first Yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first Igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish University in 1935. Again I ask, where did the ignorant hypothesis of the backward Yoruba race who needed development by the superior Igbo race come from? For the sake of our generation and posterity we need to teach factual history and not just cook up some rooster and bull ego-centric concoctions as facts. The attitude of recycling long tales steeped in empty arrogance should be discarded before you miseducate your kids with fictions. Awolowo will continue to be the Yoruba hero not because of blind followership but because he gave his people the system of free education, free healthcare and he introduced Television to the Yoruba; making Yorubaland the first region to have a TV station in Africa all done with revenues from Cocoa. It is crass ignorance and Unclad buffonery to claim Lagos was built with Nigeria's money. In addition, where did the foolish idea that the Igbo brought civilization to Lagos and Yoruba-land come from? The aim of this post is not to deride any tribe but to correct the dangerous misinformation trending among some Igbo youths and common in their narratives that Lagos is a no-man's land and that their fathers built and develop Lagos. Your forebears came to Yoruba- land like every other settlers and we appreciate their contributions but the stupid claim that Igbo built and develop Lagos is a gross display of stupidity because Lagos was already developed before your forebears came here from their villages and towns. The first storey building in Nigeria was built in Marina, Badagry in 1845, long before some of hinterland people gave up the idea of conical mud houses with thatched roofs which some boastfully called 'ancient mansions.' How can you now claim your grand-sires developed Lagos? Please if you are one of those spreading the fiction, I expect you to desist from self-delusion and collective amnesia forthwith. The first Igbo alphabet-character set and Igbo primer (Isoama-Ibo) was published by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther (a yoruba man from Osogun) in 1857. How can you now claim superiority over the Yoruba race and even carelessly affirm that your forebears should be thanked for bringing enlightenment to Yoruba Land? While I do not see all these achievements as a sign of Yoruba superiority over the Igbo or any other tribe for I do not believe in racial superiority; I will not also tolerate any attempt by bigots who stoke ethnic hatred through incitement and arrogant claims of superiority over others.

You are the one getting angry over nothing, you ended up again disgracing and embarrassing your tribe and yourself.

You lost again.

Huddler:
You are the one responding like a toddler. You don't really need my facts and figures since your tribe was excluded from the list of the tribes that developed Lagos.

Stop disgracing your nameless tribe here, people here are beginning to wonder why you can't say the name tribe of your tribe here, some people think you are just being ashamed of your tribe while some are doubting your nationality cos you are clueless about Nigerian history.

You are the one beating around the bush here cos all your previous comments were just pointless and meaningless.

You are the one that needs to swerve cos you dont have a point.

Will it put money in your pocket, or food on your table?

Let us ask u a question. How did igbos not develop Lagos?

Is it by ensuring no Seaport in the entire South East/SouthSouth?

unstableaswater:
Is it by ensuring no International Airport in the entire South East/South South?

Is it by using our Oil in the SouthEast/SouthSouth?

unstableaswater:
Is it by Lagos being the Capital City?

Is it by taxing SouthEast/ SouthSouth?

Is it by our Oil Company headquaters being in Lagos and paying tax to Lagos?

Is it by Lagos special Status Bill?

Just tell me how Igbos and SouthSouth did not develop Lagos?

He and his friends are angry that you don't want to abuse them so that they can test their latest google copied insults out and you know he has spent a lot of time downloading memes that he wants to use against a yoruba person! Whenever they see logic that they can't defend they try to turn in into an insult match! I schooled one earlier today...instead of him to answer my question he started crying over opc as if that has anything to do with the thread!

Huddler:
Thats what we are saying. Can you tell us the name of your tribe?

Why not tell us the name of your tribe maybe I can include your name in the list of tribes that developed Lagos.

You are the one spreading propaganda because you don't know anything about the history of Lagos.

We all know that Igbo made Lagos what it is today but tribalism and hatred won't allow you to see that.

You are clearly the one that needs to fvckoutta here cos you lack facts. I mean real basic facts.

You have just given yourself best advice.

Go and play with your fellow kids.

Huddler:
You sound like a kid crying over nothing.

You are not Yoruba then why are you bothering me with silly question.

Why are you crying more than the bereaved?

I said Igbos developed Lagos and how is that your Fvckin business?

Did I mention the name of your tribe?

Why not mind your business and worry about your tribe since you claimed you are not Yoruba?

Answer these questions then I can start lecturing you on the issue concerning who developed Lagos.

It's clear you do not want to be objective.

"L\aughing" at the tomatoes production link shows that you have no idea what free matket is. And you certainly ignored the fact that there is a MATERIAL reason NNPC was working, yet NONE of its refineries could work in full capacity since all these years.

And, are you trying to suggest that his claim of not receiving "ALL" has translated to meaning the same thing as "he received NONE"?

See, even if it is only $1billion forex subsidy he got (and I'm convinced he got much more) do you realize how powerful that is as an incentive?

Do you know how much unfair advantage it gave him over other businesses (including fuel importers) that required the same forex at CBN rate but could not get it (not even at the comnercial bank rate) ?

Fact is the dangote empire is traditionally known to ride on exclusive govt. incentives. And it's now getting bigger.

But that's my point all the while. All investors (not just dangote) need attractive incentives to invest in unattractive sectors of the economy. That's how it works, but socialists don't have a clue.
