Any seaport in the same Nigeria having different activities from Lagos port is not a port......
Stop all this propaganda
Each region should at least have a single functioning ports to make life easier for Nigerians.

Little education would have saved you from publicly embarrassing yourself online. So it's the government that's forcing the importers to use Lagos?

Profit margins are what's driving business. You move your goods close to major markets and major users like industries, etc. If you want to move your goods to a place like Calabar you pay more for transportation, insurance and other logistics.

No one is stopping you from using other ports in PH, Calabar so far it's cheaper than hauling your goods from Lagos.
Finally!!!Thank you.
Nigerians are very dull,so much so that it's sickening.
Have they tried to use calabar,rivers port for business and anyone stops them?The answer is no.
You don't expect shipping companies and large terminals to move to ports with little commercial traffic and charge low,they make up for that deficiency by inflating costs.
Then people in the business do cost analyses and most times chose lagos Cos it's cheaper to receive products from there and truck it to your location and some dunces here are saying nonsense.
Little wonder Nigeria is so poor,too many airheads in one space,tueh!

So it is the cost that makes it economical to freight it to Lagos then warehouse it then haul it to Obosi?
Have you ever discussed with a foreign shipping company about shipping your goods staraghit to Eastern ports? Try doing so and listen attentively to them on why it's costlier to do so.
I have been doing so since 2003, so I know what I'm talking about.
That policy started after the war and basically turned Nigeria into a one Port economy, an obvious economic disaster.
Check the current freight charges to both the Eastern and Western ports, compare and contrast and get back to this thread to educate your readers on why those of Lagos must be cheaper...
And while you're at it, don't ever throw in the "eastern pyrates" nonsense talks because the different charges have been there since the 70s!
I'm waiting..
Not everything is tribalism

I live in Lagos and work at sea.
That apapa axis has long become an eyesore now. The traffic on land and the water way from the anchorage to say,ijegun,is so unbearable.
Don't even talk about hygiene cos those trailers parked on the entire stretch from a little bit after mile2 reeks of shhhiet form the drivers,boy and area boys who litter the areas!!!!!

But sail away to warri,the port is empty! Sail to Calabar,it's basically empty. Same thing at PH....
Lagos is surrounded by Ogun state,also a coastal state but not a single functioning port. Ondo state, nothing,Onitha nko, nothing,my own state, Edo gelegele port, nothing...
But tin can and apapa are like bee hives and the sad thing is,as huge as that stretch is,from that mile 2 area all the way down to apapa wharf, Nigerians cannot beat their chests and say they have decent jobs as staff there: virtually all the workers there are dock workers,stevedores, contract workers who don't even know who they are working for! Their meagre pay will pass thru like two hands before they receive it!

The fed govt knows what they are doing and it's deliberate.

In a saner clan, Lagos port does not deserve the traffic it's getting. The thing is even choking the state. The deal was to kill other ports to make Lagos port the only option. May I remind you that almost all the ships pass through Cross river water ways to Lagos. Why not drop them in Cross river port for people living near to cross river like the Easterners and others. Let the goods going to the west take it's course to Lagos seaport. What about warri port and onitcha vessel terminal. Government approvals were revoked for as long as Lagos ports remains the only place the Aboki and Afonja deal will work and spoils shared.

Look at your mouth like the people..... the people are there because you left them with no choice. What if they received their goods in Cross river instead, who'd ever come close to Lagos.
My brother, you are very valid.
You have said it all.

They know what they have been doing.
The charges placed on clearing of goods in other ports asides from Lagos will make a common make have no choice than to go to Lagos.

A working government my foot.

Ibos should relocate quickly relocate and stop constitute nuisance in Lagos and South West, now that we have a port in Calabar.

We don't need them here in South West.

Industrialization is what makes a country grow not importation of fake Chinese products.

The port in Lagos is for genuine industrialists like Dangote, BUA, Eleganza, Otedola, Otudeko and co
And I'm 100% sure that 90% of all you own in this life is china made....shut the Bleep up and thank an Igbo man for making your miserable life easy.

Stop spitting and saying FG is favoring Lagos above other ports.
Funny enough, the people who have ports in their states don't complain, it the ones who are landlocked who cry the most, what an irony!
That's for you to know that their problem is a generational cvrse which cannot be cured, the best solution is to let them go and continue eating themselves.

That’s the mentality of an average zombies, they must sha import. So u r doing Nigeria a favour by importing fake products from China. Before China Nigeria have been dying coz they couldn’t afford American product abi? Must you people import?

No wonder any govt that promotes industrialization always turn out to be your worst enemy.

reason they have to kill Dora Akunyili cox she prevent them from producing fake drugs. Zombidients don’t care if the whole Nigeria burn, so far they can make money to live their fake rich-man live style.

No wonder they r all rallying round a fake economics who use his life to import n wasted resources n did nothing for 8 years to be our president. God please hear our humble cry, Ipob sponsorer must not be our president
