your point is off . Stick to the topic. Most of the scam I have fallen victim of in Lagos were all perpetrated by Yorubas. At least the phone you are using now is probably not fake and was most likely imported or sold to you by same Igbo. People are travelling all the way from cotonou, Togo, Ghana to buy things from Alaba( you can verify)
If they import to Rivers or Imo, Edo , Rivers, Osun , Ondo , Cross river etc will still come to buy from them. Someone once told me that he went to NNEWI Anambra from Senegal to buy Motor parts

Please, , stick to the topic. If you have any personal issues with Igbo people, go settle it
In good faith am good with your advice to stick to the topic. Thanks to you. I have no personal issues with the Igbo. Where you got that idea from is not far fetched in all the circumstances. By the way, it is my joy that folks will come from far and wide to buy from Igboland. Folks who make progress don’t begrudge others for making advancements in their lives. Have a great day.

Look at this imbe!

You just heard about waterways going through Oguta, Orashi and Degema and you are consumed with hatred and bigotry.


You hate folks from these areas and detest any Federal Government assisted project in those zones but you are happy with the petrodollar that is subsidizing your barren region and stolen to pay your N30k stipend.

Continue!

LeoDeKing:
Which money is Nigerian government using for this project? Hope not Nigerian tax payers money?

Why can't Buhari use the money to extend the days for removal of fuel subsidy if there are no other meaningful projects? That will at least benefit Nigerians. angry

Please speak on what you know.Who appears resolute on secession?
Chief Iwuanyawu is speaking authoritatively on behalf of ndi Igbo as Ohanaeze ndi Igbo president general.
I have no reason to speak on what I do not know. From three decades ago I knew Chief Iwuanyanwu’s house at Atta Ikeduru and his Rolls Royce bought from hard work and ebullient commerce he has always been into. I have no ill will towards him. Chief and Dr. Izuogu in his lifetime show that Nigerians are capable of holding their own in the world of scientific inventions and business. If you say The Ohanaeze do not accede to secession, fine. I have no reason to dispute that or wish differently. I’m for the good of Nigeria NSEW.

when this happens, those importers that are predominantly igbos will have to disturb Lagos less. At least, west will have their coastline back to themselves
Nice one

What a wonderful response to him

Abeg make they dredge am make these savages carry their load comot for southwest
Lol.....soon they will, they wouldn't have gone to the southwest if the government have been Fair to Thier region like they have been to others wink, if you go to their region you will see that there is no single positive federal government influence except when it comes to deploying federal troops to conduct what ever exercise they feel like conducting.

Every single project (finished and still under construction) is either been financed by private individuals or by a foreign organization through private sectors.

So my friend I really say a big amen to your prayers not withstanding what ever terms you used to describe them smiley, may God give us all wisdom and understanding wink.

You are the illiterate here...lake that lead into Bayelsa state, does the Oguta river has direct access to Atlantic ocean?...


I swear most Okoro are illiterate..stop shaming Nigeria education system and get yourself an Atlas.


Shame.
Anyone trying to educate you is an okoro, right?
Lake chad doesn't lead to ocean, it has no outlet to the ocean thats why if its not recharged it can dry up someday. Oguta lake and azumini river leads to and has an outlet to the atlantic ocean.
Don't quote me again I won't stoop low to engage and illiterate whose fore bearers used money meant for their educate to drink emu oguro and Eran Igbe while acquiring more useless wives.

Conversely, your choice of Chad as an example in this argument doesn't entirely fit in.

The logic is that with dredging, cargo can directly arrive in some Southeast states from the likes of Europe, America, Asia, etc. But it is not so for Chad.
Orashi river flows into the Niger Delta to Atlantic ocean

The same River flows through omoku, riverine area of Rivers State

Anyone that tells you the East is landlocked is ignorant

On Abia State side Azumini River is some miles off the Atlantic ocean.
We are bordered with Niger Delta

So the issue of landlocked is just a complete ruse

No tribe has a monopoly on importation.

Other tribes are very free to import and flood the market. Stop blaming a tribe or trying to profile a whole tribe because of your envy or ignorance. Your hands and brains are not tied that you can't import. If not as a result of laziness and weak mindset, why should you all blame the so-called 'Dot nation' over all your misfortune? If truly they are inconsequential, why all these unnecessary eyebrows and cries?

Please, align with your kinsmen and tribe to dominate the market and economic space and render their products, imports, and services inconsequential.
Lol these dudes are very funny
They think it's only Lagos that consume imported products lol

Lagos maximum consume maybe 15% Northern Nigeria consumes a lot more than Lagos self.

Abuja is almost same demands as Lagos

What of South South, North Central, talkless of demands that comes from neighboring countries like Niger, Chad, Cameroon, etc

He should ask business men in Nnewi motorcycle spare parts where there customers come from and he will be shocked


Many of them on platform ain't even smart one bit. Tribalism has beclouded there thinking capacity and ability to reason.

educate yourself illitrate, no dey hide your inferiority complex as an Okoro by throwing few and common Yoruba words around.


Show us how Oguta river in Imo state bounded in South by Bayelsa, Akwa ibom and Rivers State has access to Atlantic ocean if not through the aforementioned state which still make imo state Land-locked.


Stark illiterate, go school una no go hear. Shame.

Of course Ohanaeze and Igbo leaders of thought do not accede to secession,however a group called IPOB is the one calling for secession.

This is exactly what they want you to believe. Few days to governorship election in IMO state they came up with this crap.
What an insult to the intelligence of ndi Igbo.
A project with no allocated federal funding with financial attraction for private funding, yet they make it look like it’s a serious venture.
This has been on ground since last year sequel to Presidential election campaign. On nairaland when IMO women walked out on Shettima during the campaign Town hall meeting because they expected Tinubu to be the person to address them during the meeting, I reminded them on nairaland that walking out on Shettima will only aggravate situation regarding the proposed Oguta port.

The last paragraph of the above link, I referenced that Oguta port there.

so east is not landlocked
This is a scam.

Every few months to elections imo state politicians do this to make headlines in the state and illiterate and ignorant fellows start believing that there would soon be a sea port at oguta, after election they all disappear.

There can never be a seaport in oguta it's just not feasible

It is possible if the IBOs will allow it. I believed Rivers State will be magnanimous to allow it to happen.

Nigerian Navy has Hydrographic Department whose flagship is NNS LANA except there is other bigger hydro ship now. The most important aspect of the project is Hydrographic Survey. Thank God the Nigerian Navy is involved in this survey project.

During Abacha era, when he declared war on Lagos. They made attempt to create a Seaport at Lokoja to move operations and NPA from Lagos. Late Chief Gamaliel Onosode - a Captain of Industries established Niger Delta Environmental Survey (NDES) to carry out environmental impact assessment of the dredging on Niger Delta land and people. The result of the assessment was severe. He drew the attention of the International Communities on the project without consideration for the Niger Delta people. That stalled the project at the stage it was before Abacha died.

Nice one this is what rochas should have used his connections in the apc to achieve in his eight years in office but instead he wasted billions on substandard projects and moulding useless statues this important project would have since been completed.
Rochas' sanity should have been checked long ago. Dude is clearly unhinged.
