ANSMEDIA:
Please stop quoting me if you don't want to learn. The case of Onitsha is different from Awka. Onitsha developed and swallowed many LGAs naturally and those areas became Onitsha metro.

It is different in the case of Awka, 6LGAs were mapped out to form what's known as Awka capital territory. So any time you hear someone mention AWKA, it is no longer the Awka you knew before state creation.

That hotel is located at Nibo Road AWKA. It is not until I write Awka capital territory in full before you know where that's being referred.

Learn to take corrections.. Tufiakwa...

And that one come be your headache for today?

You dont kno dis chronic Igbo hater.. He is just pained

BeforeJuly:
bobo control your emotions.

you don't demolish relic's....you preseve them.
why is London and Paris the way they are? they don't destroy their historical buildings. they are renovated and preserved.

you don't destroy history young man.
don't dwell in your backwater mentality.

Imagine afonja mentality..
So why is 80% of the town dilapidated

Anambralstson:
Julius Berger is using the port to bring in their equipments for second niger bridge, those containers are for JB, their construction yard is also located inside Onitsha port complex


Take a look at the first picture you will see tugboat and empty barge that brought Julius Berger containers, 2nd and 3rd pictures are port complex 4th is Julius Berger yard within the complex

I guess onitsha river port will be serviced by warri and onne port...

If so i don't see the point. I rather clear my cargo at onne/warri and save myself the bottleneck and bureaucracy. Waiting few more days before it get to Onitsha.. Saving time and safety of goods.. Imagine ferrying container loads of valuables in a barge through the unsecured niger delta creek.. Wickedness


Its way cheaper to build even if not..
Its way safer
Faster
Infrastructurally better to build a train line from warri/onne to Onitsha
It will benefit the businesses and the masses...

Lol.. 3 am
Baba no sleep. This dream of Igbo giant chasing him is now daily. Chaii. I ve suggested sleeping pills

Anambralstson:
From Warri port they transloading to Barges transport it to Onitsha, I told I have visited Onitsha port severally and saw with my eyes

But the news is talking about concession but according to you, you have visited and seen containers offloaded from badges. You dey travel to future be dat

So sorry wipe ur tears dear. Dont mind dem spoilers

For you to understand everything that the onitsha river port need you need to research extensively on the following rivers
Forcadoes river
Nun river
Brass river

They are rivers through which the river niger emptied into the Atlantic ocean...

This means that any ship coming into the river niger to onitsha up to d source of the Niger must pass through one of the listed rivers above..

Before you reason the two Niger bridge, except they wamt to use really small badges..

Okay IPOBs, we don hear.

Oan,
People should all be careful about the bad things they wish for others, it will always come back to hunt you in ways you do not expect.

Few days ago, we were thinking of this particular issue about how parents have to becareful about the kind of children they are raising.
Here was this Cownu that was first saying he will go to Aso Rock and bring the head of Our darling Daddy,
then he graduated to, our darling Daddy died in a London hospital, that he had all the pictures and videos evidence and a young man of 35 years was brought in from Sudan to become Nigeria president!!!

But it was so shocking and sad to come online to read about the death of his Dad and Mom, happening just months apart!
That was after he wished death for President Muhammadu Buhari.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT!

People should all be careful about the bad things they wish for others, it will always come back to hunt you in ways you do not expect.

May the Soul of HRH Eze Israel Kanu and Mrs Ugoeze Nnenne Kanu Rest in perfect peace.

We Rise!!

Afonja

The North is drawing us backward.

Otherwise, those places should be competitive with Dubai and Paris.

Hateful afonja. We kno say u go don reach here wit ur senseless drivel

MelesZenawi:
It is not only 75 percent but 100 percent. Go and hang yourself on the transformer if you can't beat the reach. Nnewi is not an economy of moi moi sugar and biscuits.

Men are looking at serious manufacturing industries clustered everywhere and you are here talking trash.

Go and hang yourself. If you can't beat Nnewi, u join them.

Village Eziofia...

Awka whatever started with the creation of Anambra and making Awka capital.. Nnewi ve more manufacturing industry than awka, and have anv economy run by market forces.. Remove capital from awka and watch the town crumble....

tyup:
as a full blooded igbo guy I would advice our igbo women/wives to always appreciate their husbands like Yoruba women does, no Matter how little it would go a long way. that's why our Yoruba sisters always have a peaceful home.....my igbo sisters only have two things in mind 1. ask for money every time and 2. grow hair on their legs like water yam

we really need to learn from our Yoruba counterpart

90% of afonjas are from broken home

ikpuchinonye1994:
