The only international airports in Nigeria are Lagos, Abuja, PH, Enugu, Kano. Everything else is a shithole and I'm yet to understand why I should be bothered about shithole airports which have zero traffic being given an 'international' prefix.

Madness in practice!

A lot of people across Nigeria and Africa are in dire need of psychiatric help. But we always mask everything up under religion and spirituality.

Maxigoody:
we have the Apapa port, dry port and now deep sea port All in Lagos state.
what happens to the ports in the Niger Delta( Delta, Rivers, Calabar, Akwa-ibom )?
And they tell us there is fairness in Buhari's Government my foot.
it is no news, the South-East and South-South have been scammed by this Fulani government while the South-East are busy licking the boot of this vindictive government if President Buhari.
And for Mrs. Akajija, how many oil wells are owned by the Niger Delta people?

Nigerians wise up!

Why is everyone asking this weird questiin and reasoning in this weird way?... Should Lagos state government spend Lagos state funds in building a seaport in delta state or river state or akwa ibom?....

Meanwhile Akwa ibom has since gotten approval to build Ibaka deep sea port, but instead of funding the project or searching for strategic partners to fund the project, Akwa-Ibom state government is committing N10billion to build a mega-church. Such fuckery exists amongst the leadership in the Niger delta but every single time it seems the blame game is always the sweetest response; blame all others except yourself for your problems.

Abeg how exactly is it the fault of Lagos state, or the fault of Buhari or Fulanis that the Niger Delta ALWAYS elects shitty leaders?

Odingo1:
Nigeria is a joke, those happy that lagos is having everything should know that Nigeria will never develop with this congestion in one place.
Why not build port in other places to spread development.
South Africa have 4 key port that covers the whole country.
The port of cape town
Port of Durban
Port Elizberth
Richards Bay

In Nigeria only one state have all the port and international airport.Shithole people.

Lagos state government should use its money money to build a seaport in other states?... I think the shithole thing you mentioned is also affecting reasoning in many quarters.

walter08:
why building another seaport in Lagos when you can build seaport in other states. There are neighboring states and niger delta. Govt should know that lagos population and should not bring in something that will make the current population to explode. #SpreedDevelopmentToOtherStates

You want Lagos state government to use Lagos state money in building a seaport in another state?

So many people have been asking this weird question and I'm still not sure I know where it's coming from.

obynzo:
I was born and brought up in Lagos and Honestly it's in the best interest of Lagos the FG develop other ports if not this lekki port would spark off a population explosion and traffic congestion never witnessed before.

I wonder why you need to build lekki port when you have Ibaka, portharcourt, calabar and Onne all begging for upgrade. if we had visionary leaders, the combination of all these ports is enough to turn Nigeria to a hub for shipping in Africa

The Lekki port is a Lagos state government's initiative and it is being built by the Lagos state government to improve the economy of Lagos state. Should Lagos fold its arms and halt its own development simply because other state governments chose not to do anything for their states?

Meanwhile it appears most of the other ports you mentioned arent deep sea ports like this one, except for Ibaka. So in essence, the competition or comparison should be between Lekki vs Ibaka. But the now question is, what is Akwa-Ibom state government waiting for to commence Ibaka?... Approvals had been given ages ago but instead of commencing the Ibaka project or searching for investors to commit to it, Akwa-Ibom state government is rather spending N10billion to build a mega state owned church.

Who really should be blamed for the above?... Lagos state government, FG or Akwa-Ibom state government?.

When younger people lead, it inspires and gives energy to governance. But the problem we have in Nigeria has nothing to do with the age of our rulers, it's rather because we have 'bad' leaders; and being good or bad has nothing to do with age.

@Op, what you have in your picture is a small 737 and not a wide bodied 777.

Oblitz:
nice one Air Peace

hope there is no affiliation between Air peace and Peace mass transit


check my signature and be blessed

The affiliation is more with Mama Peace and the Jonathans

Lol...

If the picture is true and not photoshopped,then it calls for worry because Islam is said to forbid alcohol intake,unless I got my facts wrong.

Most of those fulani herdsmen are irreligious.

aolawale025:
If he did all the above. Why did he leave this school out? Or "mordern schools" crumble after a few years?

Amaechi didnt renovate old rickety schools, he built brand new ones at the same location of the old ones and it's on record that he built HUNDREDS of the most beautiful public schools any state in Nigeria can boast of. If you look beyond your nose in that picture, you would clearly see the newer replacement structure. This picture supplied by the Op seems very much contrived.

The truth of the matter is that anyone, politically motivated or not, who wants to mock Amaechi's achievements in Rivers state and decides to use schools, such a person is an irredeemable clown.

Whoever dug up these pictures must be high on cow piss... Amaechi built over 200 brand new schools in Rivers state with structures and conducive environments which would make even the best private school owners green with envy; the structures are still there for aall to see. Yet in 2018, some clown chooses schools as one of the areas to mock Amaechi?

Is Amaechi still the governor of Rivers state?... Does rivers state not have a governor who's been in seat for about 3 years? Where are the schools built by the current governor?....

Same way another clown recently took pictures of a monorail project and instead of calling out his governor who gleefully announced in public that he would abandon the project, the buffoon was calling out Amaechi who stopped being governor 3 years ago.

Olalekan92:
No be ur fault imagine if not 4 social media ur type arecan never be allow to talk in public discussion cos of ur daft brain, mumu Don wanny abi wetin den name him and the rest are from Ijebu or Oyo were re o

What is this one talking about?

Sealeddeal:
I thought APC cankerworms said that Buhari has constructed it.

Yeah ... same way some PDP/GEJ poop gobbling maggots in 2014/2015 listed this same road as one of GEJ's giant strides...

Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria.

Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has said that cabals are frustrating the recently approved $198m maritime security contract.

Amaechi vowed to publicly mention names of saboteurs while speaking at a Maritime Stakeholders’ Interactive Forum held in Warri, Delta State on Thursday.

He said “Reason, why vessels will not come to the Eastern ports, is because there is war insurance due to insecurity in the ports here.

“The war insurance means if the goods cost N10,000 in Lagos, it will cost N20,000 here because there is an extra cost on it due to Insecurity issues. Even as a minister, I can’t enter a boat ride from Warri to Port Harcourt due to insecurity issues, but I can move around Lagos at any time of the day.

“I once asked a former Governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, why people from Anambra don’t import from Port Harcourt port, and he said it cost less to import from Lagos and move to Onitsha even with the price they pay on the road. It is cheaper to import from Lagos to Aba, yet Aba to Port Harcourt is a 30-minute drive.

“For shipowners, you need to do a petition to Mr President. The President approved a contract of $195m for maritime security, but there are people in the system sabotaging the contract because it will restore security in the water. I won’t say who they are until it gets out of control. We are still battling for the contract to take place, but if it gets out of place, we will name them publicly, including the security people involved.

“There are people who make billions of Dollars from the insecurity on the water, so they don’t want security on the water because if we secure the water, all their rubbish will go.

“There are businesses which provide the vessel for oil companies in the name of providing security. The moment we secure the water, they are out of jobs?

"Nonsense talk by Judas Amaechi... The Yorubas and Hausas are the ones responsible for ensuring that the seaports in the delta region are not attractive and functional so every importer will be forced to use Lagos. Even the insecurity talked about is caused by Yorubas and Hausas to ensure nothing works in the delta ports; even companies arent spared as they've all schemed to make all the companies relocate their offices to Lagos..." - Anonymous


Meanwhile on a serious note, what nonsense did Amaechi smoke before making this statement?... He knows those responsible for insecurity yet wouldnt speak until it gets out of hand?

Blue3k:
This is self destructive behavior the community is engaging him. Anyway if they can't get extra route now later (distant future). 90% of something is better than 10% of nothing. Then what do they mean by carrired along?

Lol... question for the gods . Seems like you dont know how things work in that part of the world. Before any developmental pproject can be executed, be it by govt, corporate bodies or individuals, the youths and elders have to be 'carried along'.

KAYD007:
walahi talahi i was so ashamed i could not continue watching the interview. He was asked a simple question about his confirmation, he started rumbling about something else. he could not even understand or mentally process a simple question such as his confirmation. i taya!

well, there are some people who do not know how to express themselves eloquently but knows how to get the job done, well, may be he is one of such people. i my self i'm not eloquent and do fumble in speech, being a very reserved person.

nontheless, people who holds such positions should be competent, mentally sharp and to some extent being able to express themselves in the committee of gatherings.

There's a difference between not understanding a question and not wanting to answer it. The questions were very simple and straightforward, but he obviously got pissed and didnt want to answer them; he also couldnt bother coming up with a diversionary answer like most politicians would typically do.

ajebuter:
Enough of this PDP or A PC bullshit dude..

We're talking human lives here.

And besides, Nigerians kicked PDP out for failing...So APC should do better.

At least that's the expectation of the masses..

I'm glad you got my message and the point I was trying to pass across when I quoted you; now you agree with me that it's not an APC or a PDP thing as you alluded in your previous comment, but rather a general failure of our leaders.

legendte:
Although PDP controlled Abj but Rochas couldn't secure that 25% for Buhari and I am sure it would be worse this time with Buhari in Abj.

I said it was 'very rare' for that to happen. Especially in diehard strongholds. E.g. expecting APC to get 25% in the SE or SS, or expecting PDP to get 25% in katsina or kano.

ajebuter:
Surprisingly, this news was not even carried by our media but by Reuters..

Can you imagine how Nigerian press has been gagged by APC?

The exact same nonsense also happened some years ago in 2013/2014, no Nigerian press was allowed to report anything about bokoharam, only foreign media did. Saharareporters were the only Nigerians (though based abroad) who reported bokoharam atrocities, and the government of the day then, and their supporters labelled saharareporters 'supporters of terrorists' for daring to report things which the government forced the media not to report. Lest I forget, the government then was PDP.

Amusing how a multitude of Jonathanians have invaded these threads shouting all forms of profanities and calling for Buhari to resign. But these same people in 2014 called a similar worse situation propaganda.

Permanently!

**In PDP/Jonathanian voice**

No girl was kidnapped, its all scam/propaganda to pull down the administration of Bubu; especially considering the giant strides in the fight against the insurgence.

Nowenuse:
Gbam. Thank you for helping me echo it to obailala.

Plateau people and core-north will always remain parallel lines. We can never meet.

Okay, let's watch how things turn out. For all I know, its very very rare for an incumbent to lose an election and not even be able to scratch up to 25%, very rare.

legendte:
With this your logic, no incumbent government will lose any election. Ohakim was incumbent in 2011 and with all the federal government machinery he couldn't save himself how much more another.

The argument isnt about winning the election, it rather about scratching at least 25% of the votes for his party. And you will agree with me that it's quite rare to see an incumbent lose an election without even getting up to 25%

AK481:
this one dont know how passionate and united we the igbos are to kick the dullard out.
just wait and see,we igbos are tired of talking,there is no need to talk.the python dance scar is still on our cheek,we see it daily.

we will remember,the east will remember.

Bros, Im an Igbo man myself, and I can assure you that come next election, if PDP fields another mallam against Buhari, it would be another ofe nsala day in the SE.

Just in case you dont know, hatred for Buhari isnt enough of a driving factor to push people out to go vote; except there will be herdsmen attacks in the SE just prior to the elections or maybe an IPOB rally with soldiers shooting at people which can drive thw passion in people, the fact remains that hatred for Buhari isnt enough incentive to drive people in the SE out to go vote, especially when the alternative will likely be another Fulani mallam.

The real thing that can encourage people to vote is a charismatic opposition candidate; the love for GEJ was the reason a lot of people came out to vote in 2015.

sikells:
see this guy o... under the rain and Sun?... abeg come to the south... everyday people troop out to go and get their PVCs.. lecturers abandon lectures, students abandon lectures, workers take permission and cue under the sun just to get their PVCs for 2019... people eye don open bros

People are collecting PVCs in expectation, but I can assure you that without any inspiring or charismatic or crowd-pulling opposition candidate in the public domain yet, the number of those you see going to get PVCs doen south is nothing compared to what is going on in the north even presently.

dasparrow:
Buhari will win only because he is going to rig the elections. I pity Nigerians. Your suffering is about to continue.

That's not true, Buhari doesnt need to rig to win. The real reason why he may win is because he hasn't got any meaningful opposition standing against him.

You and those around you dislike Buhari so much, but can your numbers match the number of people that worship him especially up north? Do you even have your PVC?... how many of those around you have PVCs?

Elections are a game of numbers and not your personal sentiments or the sentiments of those you see and hear around you. Nigeria is a large space, and whilst those around you may share your views, you cant say so much about those far away.
