Horlah04: Please always try to read completely and understand. It's clear that Buhari gave the go ahead for ports to be built in Warri, Bonny and somewhere in Akwa Ibom more than 2 years ago, Lagos State Government was able to get an investors Lekki Deep Seaport.
Finding investors and security at sea is one of the major problems other counterparts have in terms of building/resurrecting ports in the above mentioned places. This isn't marginalization from the FG like you clearly stated but state governor's fault.
A. very unserious Governor. Why now. When half of the population of the state have been taken to the gallows by Fulani herdsmen. This initiative should have come earlier. Not now. For over four years, Benue people have been killed on daily basis. I feel for Benue people who are at the receiving end of Fulani banditry and mindless killings. My heart breeds. *SOBS*!

It's a lesson to others. One should be careful whilst in office. Because the evil that men do lives with them. They never took care of their constituencies but regaling in stupendous wealth. Comeuppance is real!
meritadavize1: Don't know why people take this Obidient serious
Yes. You won't take OBIdients serious because you choose to remain servile to an individual and political godfather. May you remain slave in your entire life!
Arysexy: Thank you Val for the matured and detailed response.
One thing I picked also is that Obi never had 3rd class as touted by the Agbado munching weevils but 2nd class. This shows the level of falsehood perpetuated by these bastards.
Obi is too refined to have rejoinder with the likes of Omatseye, Reno Omokiri, Adeyanju and co who are obviously on payroll of Bending Ancestor Tinubu
Oho...from the pictures Tinubu is really sick. See the two hands being supported to hold the umbrella. While seating,the right hand looks terminally dead. I think it's stroke affliction. The man should go and rest and take care of his health. Those close to him should advice him. No,he looks sickly!
OkoYibo: There is no sea in the South East. If there is, mention it. Maybe you're mistaking Rivers for Seas.
Mind you, the Badagry port is a privately funded project. Go to the south east and gather yourselves together to build a port and approach the FG for approval and see if they won't approve it.
rajiedreez: The reason why it's difficult to get a solution is that governors of those area are running a one man show in their respective states.
Delta, Rivers and Akwa Ibom states have been licensed by the federal government to build seaports but the funding isn't forthcoming. Delta state is close to South Eastern states, if there was good cooperation by governors of those regions, other South Eastern state governors can go into contract with the Delta and Rivers state government - because these two states are closer to South East than Akwa Ibom - to help source for fund and draft a contract that gives all party an equal stake and access to the ports. Further more, the states that helped source for the funds can also lias with the federal government - since the funds are available - to approve the construction on land ports in there states will a railway directly to the seaports. So that cargoes meant for the states will be cleared in the respective land ports so as not to congest the Delta and Rivers ports and also reduce transport costs.
rajiedreez: Dredging will never turn a river into a sea. The point still remains that vessels won't be able to navigate through the river because of their weight and size is too massive.
And now,what's the way forward because southeast needs a seaport for their businesses.
Godoverevery: They are not concern about this......it is tinubu matter them dey carry for head like gala inside hold up.
Alot of killings is going in there region everyday but they are ashame to put it out...my close friend is from orlu imo state and he told me how hot that place is presently.
Instead of them to scream out now for help.....maybe by the time this animals they once praised now killing them with guns start using bombs there head will correct.
Prosperity will judge us because we warned them.
Shut up! Is it not your supreme court that installed the idiot called Hope Uzodinma in defiance of popular electoral mandate personality or elected candidate
rajiedreez: What happened to the approval of seaport construction in South South region. No investors to finance the project. And no sea in South East. Building river ports in those region will no be a wise investment because they'll need to transfer cargos from larger vessel to smaller one that can navigate through the river ways which will add to the landing costs of good. Instead south south governors that have the approval to build seaports in their states should source for investors like Lagos state did. Let's not deceive ourselves, a region needs to be relatively peaceful to attract investors.
Who told you there is no sea in southeast. Onitsha is a good location because of proximity to the sea. It could be dredged to accommodate ships. But FG won't because of primordial attachment. Time will Tell!
Universities have been shut for the past six months because of money. Yet,Buhari has money to throw about by doling such humongous amount to Niger Republic.
I have said time without that Buhari is not original nigerian protegy.He is a turncoat Nigerian of Niger ancestry. His parents came to settle in Daura, Border area, with Nigeria in the 1940s. So,he still has allegiance to the country.
This is the man Tinubu supported for two terms and wants to takeover from him.
diadem10: Simple thing to comprehend for someone who has a brain.
Tinubu didn't rule you or your papa. Rather it's you folks flocking in droves to Tinubu's functional Lagos, instead of holding your uselesssss leaders accountable in the south east.
If you want to judge Tinubu, judge him by his legacies in Lagos which includes, lekki trade zone, BRT, Eko Atlantic, Lekki seaport, first telecom in Nigeria, millennium schools, LASTMA, enormous increase in Lagos revenue despite Obasanjo seizing Lagos allocation for several years etc
Your Peter Obi achieved absolute nothing in his own state. Let Peter Obi tell us what he did in Anambra in relative to how he's gonna improve the country. It's not by making noise and insulting everyone by his urchins.
Tinubu slave! I would have been disappointed if your comments were otherwise.
We need paradigm shift from Old Brigades to Youthful leadership. Not a dying insentient human vegetable or mannequin like Tinubu.
Good news. But development of the country should be evenly spread.
Lagos state has Apapa Port and Tincan Island Ports. Major patrons of these Ports are people of South East extraction. They are the major importers.
Sadly, no single Port in the southeast stretch. They freight their goods from Lagos Ports and onward bound southeast. This is not fair.
Yet,another Port is to be added to existing Ports at Badagry,less than 60 kilometers from Lagos. Where is the fairness and justice.
This skewed development is what's giving rise to separatist agitations in the country. FG could do better by spreading development to all regions of the country Not only Lagos.
Restructuring of the country is key to development and national cohesion.
Eastern leaders should wake up to these injustices!
Mr Jollof has eaten too much jollof rice so he is intoxicated with the delicacy. May be, if he were to be in his real sense, Freedom Atsepoyi,as his real name suggests would have been a bit reasonable and sensible in his comments. Tinubu cannot deliver us from the present mess we find ourselves because he is a purvey to the rots Buhari is wreaking on us.
Zico5: The ungodly acts going on in that enclave is second to none, yet they see themselves as God anointed to change the fortune of this country. They will soon blame Fulani for their wicked acts while the acts are perpetrated by them. The level of hatred among them is indescribable. That's why nobody will be align with them even if they present Jesus as president of this country. Enough of their pull down syndrome. Everyone is wise up. They can kill as much as they like, God is with them
Spewing rubbish. In your area no killing of this magnitude. You're only being hateful and devoid of empathy. Someone dies and you're ascribing it to her ethnic group. Very insensitive. RIP girl!
Emekaonline: So we should also assume that Obi will lose woefully even in Anambra going by his party loss of governorship race. It is only a fool that will judge one state by the gubernatorial election result but will fail to apply the same to other state. What a shame!
StagethemTVee: Instagtam celebrity Mr Jollof Says Tinubu does not need South East and South South Votes to Win the 2023 elections. According to him, Tinubu holds the regions he needs very strongly and it is not the best interest of South East and South South to align with the winning team.
See braggadocio! You will be shocked you need south East and South South votes to win. Your crushing defeat in Osun state after similar bragging should have taught you and your goons a lesson. Anyway, pride comes before fall. You're a political paperweight.
This clueless and disaster of a man still talking.
I had expected him to throw in the towel because he has destroyed what remained the soul of Nigerian football.
Our league in tatters. The clubs no longer compete creditably on the Continent. Our national teams are shadow of themselves. He is only interested in national team coaches where he could cash out. So,he goes for foreign coaches who could provide the leverage for him to cash out big.
He is a disaster whose only passion is Stand Up comedy. Yet,ironically, he presides over affairs of Nigerian football.
He should be chased out of the Glass House to meet his thieving kiths and kins in Warri Kingdom!
samuelson06: I understand all that stuff. But how far do you think you can go with unwholesome practices to make money? You see what I mean? So, at the end, you'll cut your life short instead of bearing with the times and ending up well.
