This is where I come from. If this is true, then it is because the federal government want to use the river to export egbema and oguta oil and gas, not out of love.

Most of the crisis going on in imo state is directly or indirectly linked to the gas reserves in imo state. Federal government has noticed that the oil and gas export from imo state don't reach the bonny terminal again. They decided to be exporting it directly from the seaport.

So don't rejoice. That sea port will not export any goods only igbo gas and oil.


What do you mean by " out of love?"

FG will only do things that are beneficial to Nigerians

Do they have to be in love to do their work?

Have you seen any seaport used to import or export just one commodity?

So you would cut through another state all in the name of seaport, am sure you have the trillions of dollars for such project.



eldoradoxx:
The East has been called landlocked by ignorant people who don't understand the geography of the East. There are at least four major rivers that have direct channel to the sea, only needing some dregding to make it navigable to vessels. Imo River, Omambala River and Orashi River can be dregded up to become navigable and join the Atlantic Ocean. Suez Canal was even a dry land before it was dregded down to the Ocean to create a seaway corridor and one of the busiest channels. It is very very possible in the East that has plenty rivers that empty into the Atlantic Ocean.

Again, you don't need to cut through any land. There are existing big rivers that interconnect and empty into the bowels of Atlantic Ocean. Just dregde them, everyone along the navigable waters channel benefits. Why is it so hard for u people to think of possibilities? Dredging does not cause trillions of dollars, it costs man power and equity and some billions of naira. Only leaders with mega hearts embark on megaprojects that will turn around things.

Dredging of a river is not the problem where would d water come from?

Sometimes they dredge a river to reduce flooding, dredging a river won’t change the quantity of water that flows through it, it only makes the river deeper.

Suez Canal isn’t the same asin Suez Canal 2 seas were connected to each other. I repeat 2 seas, same thing happened at Panama Canal where 2 oceans were connected to each other.

Don’t be fooled
I don't need to start educating you, but go and find out how United Arab Emirates in a desert all of a sudden began having seaports. Africans are backward because your leaders have programmed you to think of only impossibilities. With a good leader, you can bring the Atlantic Ocean to even the North. Just create a waterway corridor, the water in the Ocean is looking for more lands to convert to oceans because 70% of th entire earth surface is covered by waters. Think possibilities and not ur narrow ethnic interest. Seaports in the East and even North further expands trade and commerce between Nigeria and the world.

It can be achieved if the political will is there but I don't just trust all these lieing irresponsible nigerians politicians. Oguta is not that far from the atlantic ocean it's just 18 nautical miles onne sea port in rivers state is more than 18 nautical miles but was still dredged to accommodate large sea vessels as long as nigeria is still one country that can also be done in oguta though the ijaws and the yorubas won't like it because of their own economic selfish interests.

Why they are saying that is because the few communities that connects the atlantic ocean are not igbos u will have to navigate through their territoral waters first before eventually getting to igboland but as one undivided country I don't think it really matters politics and tribal sentiments should be thrown aside to look at the bigger picture which is more igr for nigeria.

Just like some politicians from Abia state was making noise some years ago that Azumiri river will be dredged,who is talking about it today?
Buhari that have few months to go is promising to dredge a river that may cost billions in dollars.
Do you know that Orashi pass through Rivers state before it empties into atlantic ocean?

FG APPROVES THE DREDGING OF ORASHI RIVER TO ATLANTIC OCEAN

Gov. Hope Uzodimma has again, given Imo people another reason to smile as the Federal Government has approved the dredging Orashi River to the Atlantic Sea which will serve as the first sea port in the South East region.

This new development is coming days after President Muhammadu Buhari visited the State to commission laudable projects embarked upon by the Shared Prosperity Government of Gov. Hope Uzodimma and in what can be best described as the real Uzodimma magic is the approval of a Seaport in Imo State amongst many other Federal Government projects dragged to the State.

When completed, the seaport will complement the economic activities of the other *six* major seaports in the country which will enable traders from the zone import and receive their goods directly while enjoying a comparative advantage as well as promote and encourage the business spirit of the people of South East.

This will in no measure turn Imo State to the business hub of South East and by extension the country as it will increase the State's internal revenue, siting of industries and create employment opportunities.

It has become obvious that Gov. Hope Uzodimma is meticulously poised towards changing the economic landscape of Imo State and the South East by integrating the zone to the mainstream of national politics which is evident in the numerous projects facilitated by the Federal Government.

Gov. Hope Uzodimma is committed to good governance and people-oriented projects that will better the lives of Ndi Imo.

Dredging the orashi is economically non-viable. Simple and short.

By the way, before u attack me, it is very close to my town (mgbidi) so I stand to benefit greatly. But it is still nonsense

agbado cassava mugu you're foolishness is legendary .. orashi River required little dredge to accommodate because orashi is one highest deep River we have in Nigeria(20m). stop spilling what you don't have knowledge about.

It is not even true so do not bother. If you see how far it is from the atlantic ocean itself you will know it makes no economic and environmental sense. It is like dredging each or all of the 4 rivers (Ona River in the North and West; Ogbere River towards the East; Ogunpa River flowing through the city and Kudeti River in the Central part of the Ibadan metropolis) Ibadan or river Osun in Oshogbo to link Oyo and Osun to the atlantic through Ogun or Lagos or Ondo state or Niger/Chad having a dream to dredge Lake chad to the atlantic ocean.

There is gas all over Nigeria so just forget that FG will make such huge investments first on dredging just to collect and sell gas. If it were so, it would even have been done before Bonny and NLNG trains in Rivers state located in Bonny at the mouth of the atlantic ocean.
check my signature for free stuffs!



Looking Carefully at the Map

It is River Port SE Can have because it isn’t on the Coast

It is Like Ibadan asking for a Sea Port

I would love to See the East more developed than Dubai as it is part of Nigeria

but it is River Port SE can have

As for Natural Gas , it is so abundant that even the North has lots of it

Before it can manage to take a Sea going Vessel it needs to be at least 21 metres deep

Warri Port Stopped taking Ships when the Sea Barrier collapsed below 18 Metres and needed to

be rebuilt

There is some Serious Engineering that Can get Onitsha Niger River to 21Meters but it is a very huge risk , massively expensive

to build and Maintain and if anything goes Wrong the Areas Of the Niger below Onitsha could

be underwater or even Washed into the Sea

The Niger would need to be Dammed just before Onitsha and it would need the Dam to be something

on the Scale Of the US Hoover Dam


The Port Of Tilbury on River Thames needs a huge daily Engineering Undertaking just to keep it going
