PoliticsRe: First Cargo Ships Berth At Onitsha Seaport by macjive01(op): 10:16am On Oct 16, 2011
Konjour:
You're right. In express terms,a ferry cannot be described as a Cargo ship,even though it is capable of ferrying cargo.

Also,the waterways of Onitsha are inland around the divisions of the delta,so the ports there are NOT seaports. cool
dont be silly, one of the busiest waterway in the world is the strait of malacca and it is only 2.8 km at its farthest points, while the river niger , tho the bridge is about 1.5 km, the farthest points are at 4.8 km apart- not at the bridge head, but at points farther away.

the onitsha seaport u see now is only a starting point. Soludo's office is planning an integrated master plan for a comprehensive integrated seaport complex to accommodation the BIGGEST, LARGEST MARKET IN BOTH NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE AFRICA, AND SOUTH OF THE EQUATOR .


something big is coming to onitsha and asaba for real.

it can sail from atlantic ocean as well, infact it is perfect for ocean vessels becos there is no taqua bay to hold the up.

it is simply ferry in, off load and out the go.

In what can be regarded as the first sign of the success of government's efforts at creating inter modalism in the transport sector, inland water transportation has lifted 430 tonnes of freight off the roads in the country.

This feat was achieved recently when an indigenous company, NINON Nigeria Limited began transporting goods from their factory in Ajaokuta to the marketers in Onitsha using the Ajaokuta jetty in Ajaokuta, Kogi State through the recently dredged Lower River Niger.

As far back as 1960s, there had been various efforts at dredging the River Niger to make it navigable and ease problems associated with haulage of goods and services across the nation.

This however did not materialise until September,10, 2009 when the late President Umaru Yar' Adua flagged off the dredging exercise, signaling the beginning of a new era in water transportation. The contract to dredge the Lower Niger from

Baro in Niger State to Warri in Delta State, a distant of 572 Kilometres, which was awarded in December,2008 was broken into five lots and given to four different ( three indigenous and one foreign) contractors

BusinessRe: NLNG Headquarter Relocates From Lagos To Port Harcourt by macjive01: 8:31am On Oct 02, 2011
lagos greatest asset is not fashola or awololo or any other godamnit name but its position as a formal FCt of which was built into the nations commercial nerve by amongst all the SEAPORT.

The relocation of nlgn no doubt will have a little effect, but what will bring lagos to its kneel wud be a deep seaport in Portharcourt or Akwa-ibom, linked to an Aba and Onitsha inland container port, and then Nnewi and Aba EPZs, that in place LAGOS will seize to exist, southwest will time-travel back to 1967 into an agrarian society, low standard of living, possibly renewal of slave trading ( trading their children- this time knowingly).

Every other step in that territory will be littered with high powered concentrated juju, rituals will be the order of the day. no more igbos to abuse hence they will turn on themselves, firstly to Ijebus ( as the black sheeps), then to Abeokwuta - for overshadowing the rest. soon the awori man wud declare his true status and ethnicity.

just imagine Lagos losing west-minister and all those tank farms !, yes, 78% of the contents of those tanks travel outside Lagos and SW, would it not be more judicious to transport it by a barge from portharcourt or Akwa-Ibom deep seaport to Onitsha oil tank farm, then proceed to lokoja tank farm - which wud cater for Abuja consumption , then to niger tank farm - which wud in turn cater for the north west. Onitsha wud also cater for the middle belt and the rest of the north.

^^^ Igbos love the indigenous natives of the land becos they show Igbos superfluous love, they inter-marry and increasingly Igbos are teaching them how to be trade and make money. not just money to eat but money to improve their way of life.

Aboki wetin they know?
If Igbo population is presumed to b 50 million, of which their voting population is projected to be abt 45 million - being a young n health tribe, so if the voting population is 45 million and only 9 million was recorded in the east what does that tell your aboki brain?

It means that 45- 9 million =36 million voter of Igbo extraction are outside igboland.

Also, Igbos constituting the second largest tribe in every state of the federation except in Abuja n Lagos where they are unofficially projected to number and constitute well over 40 n 46 % of the populace but constitute 45 n 49 % of the voting population since Igbo residing outside igboland are mostly the young and vibrant, who re more surreptitious n courageous to vote . Note, Nigerian election is not for the faint hearted. Aka Yorubas.

In fact I am of the opinion Igbo constitute over 50% of the voting population of the country and they are also strategically spread across the nation , thereby gathering enuff of the 25% bench Mark in every state except in Taraba n Berin kebbi.

PoliticsAboki Challenges Gej Igbo Northern Votes by macjive01(op): 7:28am On Sep 20, 2011
Early in the week, the president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan received a delegation from Ohaneze Ndigbo at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa.

The team was led by the Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi and prominent in the delegation are distinguished Nigerians like the former vice president, Dr Alex Ekwueme, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Anyim Pius Anyim among many others.


 
The central crux of the visit was of course not the main item on the agenda of this piece but as a matter of introduction, it is important to restate the necessities of the cut throat competition for access and resources in a federal setting like Nigeria. As such the visit by the Igbo leaders in my view was essential and critical.

I am . . . . . (cut)

Those who mattered in the country thought otherwise and went ahead and elected Jonathan for a four-year mandate. One of the issues that tested the will and capacity of the president was, apart from the double-speak on numerous issues arising from the contention over his party's zoning policy, the October 1st, 2010 bombing which was followed by the staunch disassociation of MEND, a Niger Delta terrorist group which earlier claimed responsibility for the attack, by the president.

That was tactless and a sign of many things to come. After that episode, many other things happened that exposed the weakness of the president, and like his mentor Olusegun Obasanjo, one thing that has remained clear is that the president has become a matter of liability every time he speaks on sensitive national issues. At times, at irrelevant locations, the president throws one form of bombshell or the other.

The latest was the claim by the president when the Ndi Igbo paid him a visit this week where he made public his appreciation of the support that he got from the Igbo race during the 2011 fiasco which saw him through to the Villa on May 29th 2011. The president told the world shamelessly and unintelligently that it was the Igbos that voted for him in the North and not the Northerners. Literally, the president said that all the votes he got from the North were Igbo votes. . .

So you know, I am not against APGA in Lagos. Read what I have been typing. . .

You can be funny. This betrays your early call for a "live and let live society". If you are being honest (and don't for one second, think this is petty), you'll agree that it is not only an "Obinna or Emeka" that has Lagos blood in them. We also have a Temi, an Osaze, an Ufot, an Ubong, an Abdulkabir etc.

You ised your own hands to reveal APGA's ambition . . . SMH!!!

My question is WHY LAGOS?? Why can't Apga try, let's say, Ogunhuh Why Lagos? What is the obsession?

THINGS APGA NEED TO DO WHEN IT WINS

1st. Pay up the arrears of civil servant owned with no thoughts of paying, as was done in Imo.

2nd. Change the narrative from fashola fashola fashola is doing this, Fashola is doing that, to WHAT IS PINCHING YOU IN YOUR SHOE ? .
there needs to be a conscience with development. not only does Lagos need a 4th mainland but even more importantly its needs the rural roads repaired , the road that average Ade and Emeka plies everyday, them ikotun road, ejigbo, rural ketu.
APGA need to show the people that Lagos is not for the Adenugas alone but also for obinna and Bimbola.

3. Engage the Apga LGA to serious grassroot empowerment.

4. focus more on the poor's plight, ; prompt sanitation and refuse clearing in the most civilized manner.

5. In APGA LGA , there would be a need to provide street sweepers with a modern motorized street cleaner to protect their life and dignity of the profession.

6. empower the people by establishing a body to create a database of every house and parcel of land , with a matching owner , to forestall fraud that has been perpetuated upon the good hardworking people of Lagos by unscrupulous element in the society.

7. Encourage people to turn to God and avoid diabolic acts.

8. establish neighbour hood watch to work in partnership with NPF to strengthen security and protect our values and way of life.

9.

why is this topic always a sore point for you Yorubas ?

First, Aworis are not entirely Yoruba ( i will leave that for now)

Two, your disparaging analogy of Abuja and  Gwari is exactly the same for lagos if only u replace abuja with lagos , Gwari with awori.

then hausa with yoruba.

also saying "its so surrounded by yoruba that it is yoruba"  same can be said of abuja as being surrounded by hausa that it is hausa, yet the contrary is the case in both.

third, lagos was built on no man's land. an island, that was inhospitable and seemly inhabitable. with the ingenuity of the british , the steadfastness, diligence and proficiency of the Igbos whom occupied all critical decision making structure of the civil service at that time , made this seemingly waste a capital.

look, Igbos are not claiming anything, its national property we all know that, and have faith in its status and continue to demonstrate that faith by pouring money and material into the trenches of ikotun to the marshland of ikoyi, epe, to the ghetto of mushin- redeveloping and  even more outright building of edifice that shone and radiates beyond our national shores.
