Honestly that's the truth. Tinubu will never allow any seaport in eastern part
Function.
And for the yorubas that will think tinubu is doing them a favor should think again with the new lekki seaport,yorubas especially lagosians are in for a shocker because tinubu is in charge

AlexBells:
I don’t want to give out my knowledge freely because Yorubas don’t see how much the concentration of infrastructure especially ports in Lagos have lead to the infrastructural decay in the In the regional west

I discuss about this a lot with one of my Yoruba friends and I ask him how do you build a seaport dominated by wares from China, Germany and elsewhere how would indigenous industry thrive, let him continue killing Yoruba economy they think the port is a blessing, last time Ava is a clothe, shoes and others manufacturing center yorubaland have zero indigenous industry that seaport currently is avenue for neocolonialism but they won’t see

The same country Obi bring his imported merchandise from without your Igbo father wailing ? How do you compare bring heavy machinery that can not be source anywhere in Africa to Peter Obi bring ketchup n Bama etc that is readily available in virtually every state in Nigeria. You igbos need to be mad to reason the way you do I swear.

For almost 22 years now, the Eastern port has not been making the numbers Lagos port is making and Tinubu was never at any time the president.

My question is that why did Jonathan not revive the port for all these years?

How much is even the purchasing power of the said Eastern region? If you import through the Eastern port, then you will have to transport to Lagos again for your market because the highest purchasing power of this country is in Lagos.

Some Eastern port are active, they are just not able to do the numbers of a far greater Lagos.

PROUDIGBO:
You inadvertently pointed out one out of many reasons why the political-economy in place since the late 60s has cheated the east and disproportionately favoured the Yoruba-west! And yet you still wonder why there’s agitation in the east!

Ibo people stop coveting other people fortune. Because Yoruba have it does not mean Igbo must have it.

Is there true sea in Igbo region? Are we the one that told God to make your land landlocked?

Your argument is just like Yoruba crying daily because the SS got crude oil which is a gift of nature. Should we now start crying that the government must deposit crude oil in Oyo too ?

AlexBells:
Got what lol, what do you export with your port lol, Lagos port is an open window of neocolonialism, AlaIgbo has at least 35% of Nigeria’s proven crude, over 40% of proven coal and about 90% of proven gas, we are the energy capital of not just Nigeria but Africa lol, leave south south out of your mention you we know our National boundaries

LegendHero:
Yet Ondo state got more crude oil that your whole SE states. More for 36% of Nigeria crude, so wetin SS come get? Na mumu dey argue with Ibo people, their penchant for lies and propaganda is second to none.

Energy capital of Africa and yet you cry daily over Lagos claiming you are marginalized and even Obi Pandora is not left out.

Shibuzor, God made your land landlocked, accept your fate and stop crying over seas you never have. Shey na me tell your ancestor to choose landlocked erosion land as their own inheritance while Yoruba ancestors are choosing theirs nearer the sea?

AlexBells:
It is none of my business west south west got and I said AlaIgbo, Igboland not south East so take what you got and keep to yourself, I have told you what we got and in time we shall know the true tribal power,

Lagos has been the center of commerce even before the amalgamation of this enclave in 1914. Our Yoruba ancestors worked hard for the land and her commerce. Most of Lagos today was Western region, Ikeja, Apapa, and etc.

Stop comparing yourselves to the Yorubas. If it’s very easy to build a viable seaport in the SE, Jonathan would have built it in his 5 years of governance and even PDP would have done it in their 16 years of rule.

How is that Yoruba or Tinubu fault? Do you guys think!

LegendHero:
Thanks bro.

LegendHero:
Bro in all the existence of Igbo and Yoruba, there has never been a time the Igbo people have more prosperous land than the Yorubas.

Not in 1600, not in 1800, not in 1900, not in 2020, and will not be in 2099. We are not your freaking mates.

While my ancestors were building empires, expanding, trading with foreign people, and etc, your ancestors are still in the bush playing with monkey and engaging in cannibalism. Do we not have the records?

Stop freaking comparing yourself to us, we are miles apart and if not for Nigeria that reduce the growth of the Yorubas, do you think any tribe will even be able to measure up to us for comparison?

Your ancestors did not tell you about Western region growth?

Who is ur bro..do i look like I have cone head or do I like a typical yorruba ritualist

You guys are too old to making this argument, pls argue with your personal achievement.

AlexBells:
I’m making my argument not based on emotions, the west would continue to be an importing economy so far as Lagos port is operational and the only viable Import port city

Peter Obi will import even chewing stick you know why because the west would always been an import based economy so far it is the only functional port.

Take for instance the price of a shoe in Lagos a shoe sold at #5000 would be sold at #6500 in the East, this mean indigenous shoe manufacturers in the East us at +1500 advantage while indigenous shoe manufactures in the west is at disadvantage since China imports have reduced the value of shoes as such that local manufacturers can’t sell cheaper.

You see the case here, so opening up Lekki port is another avenue for China, India, Lebanon to come in since you have nothing to export and chances of even building such is weakened through porous seaports, only few people enjoy…while locals suffer tell yourself, how have Lagos seaport benefited the average Yoruba. Your local economy have been killed before your eyes

HedwigesMaduro:
because a seaport is only for imports? What the hell kinda ipob reasoning is this?

StaffofOrayan:
Oya come and take the port

Politics is a very crazy game however the people needs to filter off the information, propaganda should be understood but the people who are primarily impacted needs take extra observations.

The truth is that whether Tinubu would adopt the APC template of neglecting sea port infrastructures in the East remains an entirely different question.

Talking about what would be done, let's talk about what's being done. The Lekki deep Seaports is a state funded project which is under some shared model between Lagos state and some private firm.

Now I'm not directly judging but the essence of capitalism is monopoly, insinuating that Tinubu would starve off Eastern ports is not a propaganda to me it is a capitalist fact.

No investor wish to see competition, the revitalization of the Eastern ports would mean the less patronage of the billions of investment in the Lekki deep sea ports.

The people in the east should continue to close their eyes, If I were in Tinubu's shoes, I shall shut down even the federal port in Lagos because Lekki deep Seaport contributes directly to my personal pocket.

What you see taking place is much about capitalist interest becuase any shrewd monopolist knows that Revitalization of Eastern ports would kill Lekki deep Seaport a project gulping billions of investors money which I'm certain Tinubu has a stake in.

Just look at Dangote, do you think if he becomes the president that he would let government Refinery be fully functional, he would rather privatise the government refineries and buy them out through the back door.

The Easterners better get the message or see it as a propaganda. To me this is not about the Yorubas or the Igbos, this more about few monopolist in power trying to cage all of us in serious discomfort.

Rubbish.

On the west african coast, next to Tin Can and Apapa, the port in Cotonou is the next most profitable. A new port is planned for Badagry to help load balance across the border.

SS ports are not a competition for ports in Lagos. Cotonou should be the one scared because of planned port in Badagry, not SS..

OP, stop raising topics you lack knowledge in.
