Bkayyy:
Another one.
Esan is here to claim to Onitsha.
Igala and ijaws what are you people waiting for?

good product don't need too much advert, they are wishing to be like us.

can you imagine Benin people want to calm Igbo, ok let us agree that Igbo originated from Benin, my question will be,
1. Why are they not portraying Igbo success, beauty, custom and traditions?

am sorry to say this, Benin people are the most ugliest group of people in Africa, example igbinedion, oshomole, obaseki, izu iyamo etc

Etrusen:
I have not seem or heard in any angle of the world where a lion will wish to become a tiny goat.

please tell me if you have heard or seen

bini lion that is being ruled by Ile Ife, oga when you are small you are small, you can never measure up to the great ndi Igbo in all ramifications, who are Benin's ? I beg pack well, you people are inconsequential, you cant even measure up to mbaise, or abriba people in population or wealth, small rats they won calm waitin pass them

Etrusen:
I will also give you the same answer I gave the guy asking me for the connection of owerri and olu which is


that the topic focus on Onitsha and I have nothing to say until you are able to give the ezechime nri source and defend it that ezechime was not from Benin.

are you not ashamed of arguing without been able to prove?


anyway am not surprise because Igbo just like your ancestors didn't make any history but were affected by it courtesy of Benin


#large without worth

They envy us? Benins just wish they are Igbos, they want to be like us!!!

Igbo Amaka

Natty14:
Big lie. Lie lie government. No container

Please stop this nonsense, port operation has started but on a low key, it's said that 50% - 70% of containers entering Nigeria port are transported to the east, so with time and further upgrade to Onitsha Port we will see more activities around the port

dival247:
Pls let some in onitsha to confirm it first. Never believe any thing u see on internet. Pls Igbo should confirm pls

it is for real, watch the video you will see the Onitsha head bridge

Take a look at this statement

In his statement, the former National Auditor of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) declared that making Nigeria's waterways navigable is key to reducing the pressure on our roads as most of the containers can be moved to their destinations safely by water.

"if our waterways are navigable and open, we can go by water, not by road. It is this aspect that drew my attention to the fact that the pressure we have on our road today can very well be avoided. For example, if 1,000 containers are coming from Apapa port and if half or even 70 per cent is going to end in the Southeast- Onitsha, Aba, or what have you — what that means is that 500 or 700 trailers will be on the road"

So it means 50% to 70% of imports goes to the East!!!

okpalaAnambra:
I'm telling u.. I'm from Anambra.. But truth be told Obiano is an igala man.. We don't deserve him.. Our land is cursed and erosion ravaged.. We don't deserve an airport,.. Anambra should use owerri Airport

for your mind, you think you are making sense, I pity you

Juliusmalema:
What you guys celebrate, sometimes baffles sane minds.

Oya all of u should jump into the river and start celebrating


what is obtainable in other countries and been used for years without noise is what every Tom dick and harry is flooding here with a single picture of 7 containers


Nigeria as a country has really dealt with psychology of her citizens.

Oga, is nothing to you and it will never be to you, but it's a big thing for us and we will continue to see big things happening to us In Jesus Name.

what the man said during the commissioning ceremony is, if we have 1000 containers coming into Nigeria, and about 50% to 70% comes to the East and these containers are transported through land (Bad Road) to the east, now if these 50% of the container are shipped directly to Onitsha, what do you think will happen to Anambra state economy and south east in general in terms of tax, job creation etc, and you said it's 6 containers, yes it is, for a start, but the awareness is growing, by the time one to five importers confirm their services to be good, others will follow. we are happy because it's a turning point to better things to come

obowo69:
As much as I like the Akwa-cross people, I think its time we let everyone chart their own course. We can work out economic policies with them in the future. But let everyone go and govern themselves.

I concur, they are our brothers, friend, great neighbour and a trusted one for that matter

Malawian:
What stops warri people from making use of warri port?

Noting stops them

ejanla077:
because they have nothing to advertise

That's the simple truth

Grgton:
why are they so much against the development @Onitsha port

The truth is that they have nothing to show, and can't imagine how we are progressing In spite of the little resources at our desposal i.e (at government level), for me I always ask why developmental news from south west except Lagos are hardly seen on this forum or other forums. Something is not right, is either there is nothing happening over there or they have nothing to show

celeiyke:
Onne is more viable. It's d volume of traffic that will make the seaport viable. Onne is surrounded by viable cities, u can use warri if it's only ur goods that will be in d entire ship

You guys keep mentioning Warri, why Warri, there is nothing connecting us with Warri, it's either Onne or Ibom Sea Port

Malawian:
Nothing stops Asaba from building their own barge port on the other bank of the river.

Noting stops, but start making use of Warri port first before building another one

horsepower102:
This thread is evidence that some people desperately want to keep igbos down. Though they will continue to fail in their hopeless mission.

Look at the venom some Losers are pouring because their propaganda has been shattered... cry me a River.

You never see anything, these people are very bad, and you can never see them talk about developments in Osun, Ogun, Oyo, Ekiti or even criticize their governors, or Advertise their state to the general public, but you see them condemning others states, hypocrisy at the highest order

NGpatriot:
They will paddle their canoe down to the river.

See them, anything Igbo always taste bitter in there mouth, very hard to swallow, as if they stop you guys from talking about your own states, better face your own state

NGpatriot:
[s][/s]


Abeg shift if you have nothing intelligent to talk about, the other comedian is funnier than you sef..

So you are the intelligent one? I beg worry about your own state, stop taking panadol for our headache

nick50:
Onitsha port ko asaba port ni..this one wey u still need to go to Lagos to clear ur goods and obtain the necessary papers before ur goods go arrive there u go Don get grey hairs.. No be today

If what you said is true, then leave us, let worry about it and not you, I beg worry about your own state,

SlayerForever:
Na Yoruba man na.

True

BIGGESThead6:
ABIA
My state is better than Anambra by far.

Not even proud to mention your state, what a life some people are living

Biodun556:
How will you get to the river if South South is not part of Biafra.

Do you even consider the fact that the river cannot carry big ships?

That should be our headache not yours, why you dey help us take Panadol for our headache?

NGpatriot:
Yes, with ten container on top of barges as seen in other parts of Nigeria.

Low self esteem inferiority complex comedian..

So so sorry, you might commit suicide for our matter ooo, please calm down!!!

BIGGESThead6:
Quit dreaming Bro, tell ya leaders to fix Onitsha now.

Oga, tell us your state of origin, please

porthouse7:
it does change d fact dat ship can't Bert anywhere in d east, if u like dredge river Niger till last sand, it will remain a river

Well that's your headache, but for us, we are moving forward be it River Port or Sea Port or Ocean Port or Stream Port thats your headache and worry about it, as for us little drop of water makes an ocean, we will keep pushing untill we get there that's the spirit of an Igbo man and our guiding principle

wetmenow:
Delta port

No it's Kano Port

gwafaeziokwu:
Every injustice has an expiry date my brother.

Our resilience in the face of deliberate socio economic emasculation deserves a golden place in the annals of history.

Umu Igbo built up their cities for a long time waiting for Nigerian government to stop sulking about the war and move on.

We no even send anybody.

We made the job so easy for them, because they will still partake in revenue sharing.

You are right about partaking in the revenue, and its will be more impactful to the North than Lagos port, taking a good looking at our networking capabilities using Onitsha distribution network which is the only city you can get direct transport to any other cities in Nigeria and also more closer to the North than Lagos.

horsepower102:
Actually once the river is properly dredged, we can have large vessels berth directly at onitsha port.

It used to be that way during colonial times. I have seen old pictures.

I hope they dredged it as soon as possible

gwafaeziokwu:


I ji okwu!

Umu Igbo don hammer for real! We must take our rightful place come rain come shine.

We are that resilient. We move!

My brother no bi small thing, trust my fellow Igbo brothers, as soon as these shipments are consistently been confirmed in Onitsha, every body will port immediately,
I can see everything turnning around,
Everything, turning around,
Everything, turning around for our good

Coldie:
How does onne port connect to Onitsha port?

You don't get my point, we rather use Onne port than Warri port, you guys are looking for people to patronize your port, do it yourself leave us out of it

In his statement, the former National Auditor of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) declared that making Nigeria's waterways navigable is key to reducing the pressure on our roads as most of the containers can be moved to their destinations safely by water.
"if our waterways are navigable and open, we can go by water, not by road. It is this aspect that drew my attention to the fact that the pressure we have on our road today can very well be avoided. For example, if 1,000 containers are coming from Apapa port and if half or even 70 per cent is going to end in the Southeast- Onitsha, Aba, or what have you — what that means is that 500 or 700 trailers will be on the road"

This statement above tells us alot about the volume of containers that come to South East,

Coldie:
For Onitsha port to be viable warri port needs to work.

With that, you will ship to warri port than load to barges and send to Onitsha

For your mind, what stops wsrri indigins to start using it? So you want us to use your port when you people don't have the capacity, please onne port is ok for us
