The biggest importers are not Aba based businessmenn or businesses that import on or two containers.They are big companies like Nigerian Breweries ,Coca Cola,
Flour Mills ,Dangote,Guinness and so on most of which are based in Lagos.

The reality of the ports is simply one of demand and supply.

Why did the British abandonCalabar Port long before independence? were they part of a conspiracy too?

The truth is Lagos is vry cheapto maintain and there was no incentive too do otherwise.

The other thing is despite her image oil rich. Nigeria wasbroke throughout the 80s and 90s and there was no money for any investment ininfraastructure.

Theonly time there was a windfall theyput the money in Abuja

There was no investment in power, in rail or roads and there was no investment in the port in Lagos or surrounding infrastructure fromthe 80s

Let us not pretend that it was only in the ports that there was no investment

The only investment in Lagos since 1981 in Lagos was the completion of 3rd mainland bridge which was already completed up tlll Yaba

We are talking more than 20 years with oilunder $30 and Nigeria struggling to payher debt.

The whole country was neglected.

Everything we see at the Lagos Port was there in the 70s.

If indeed there was such a conspiracy then another port would have been built at Lekki or Badagry long time ago .

but the moment they decided they were goingto Abuja Lagos was abandoned andnothing new built

Nigerian breweries has it's most important brewery in Enugu, it also has breweries in Aba and Owerri, Coca cola has plants in Owerri, Enugu and Portharcourt.
So whatis your point again?

Lol he placed his tribe as number one. Any tribe think they are richer than Hausa people in Nigeria need to be examine otherwise.

Why do we Yoruba muslims worship Hausas so much

They should be relocated to the outskirts, they have made that area an eyesore and narrowed the road unnecessarily.

I don't really like some of Buhari's policies especially his handling of security and economy, but as faulty as its, things are gradually falling in place.

Let's just give him a chance to conclude some of his good policies.

I don't really like his style of leadership especially his nepotism but I know deep in my mind, he's a honest and sincere man that have the zeal of changing things.

Buhari's only undoing is his loyalty to the North which is the cause of all his problems. Perhaps he don't want to bite the hands that fed him that's why he find it difficult to take some drastic measures against his kingsmen.

we should give him a chance to conclude the killings you talked about?
Stupid post

I weep for all the Igbos enriching these Yoruba pastors.
