Lol. What's the population of people residing in SE? Are Igbo's residing in SE up to 15m?

Chai, make una dey reason things logically, forget about the bunkum link you attached

SmartPolician:
Jonathan really messed up when he became the president of Nigeria. He had the opportunity to improve the ports in his region to some of the best in the world.

dokyOloye:
And 65% of all the containers imported into the country end up in the South East

BeautifulMind2:
The have two motor parks in Onitsha, one is near Onitsha River port another one in located at Upper Iweka, that's where they're loading

helinues:
Oya talk to my hands then

georgeakins:
All the shops Ibos owned in Nigeria are not up to 0.001% of Dangote refinery in monetary value .
We don't need your investment in South West.

stanbright:
The investors in the west are they yorubas?

Davicl:
and you think the port's that attracted the 65% is lekki port . You're the lazy one actually

Gossiphub:
They don't know this.

I'm a living witness to this Ondo part.

I was in Ondo one time like that and you needed to see how Yoruba people were jumping "Ondo Rising" bus early Momo for Onitsha.

Aside myself in the bus, others were Yorubas coming to buy goods in Onitsha.

You lack intellectual insight..Is it bad by asking you to hold your governors accountable?..if your governors can't build a port for you in your region, it means you don't have need for it or your governors are failures.FG is not holding any state from building a sea port.

plaindealer:
Many states in Nigeria especially the SS and Ondo stare did their homework, they came up with their plan and economic framework for seaports and approached the FG for approval which the FG always approve, but when it comes to the SE, no, all they do is talk, cry and blackmail, they are too lazy and incompetent to do the most basic thing.


Their leaders are void of bright ideas, they just sit and collect salaries and help their people to point fingers at other people to hide their own incompetence and failure.

In a situation where like in the SE where they have an eternal made up enemies aka Yoruba and Hausa people, they cannot do anything because they've crippled themselves because they see themselves as poor, helpless and hopeless victims.

What a leadership bankrupt and incompetent society.

FreeStuffsNG:
Go and read up on the constraints and why despite several billions Federal Government pumped like wasted funds into those 'political' ports outside Lagos, they are still not optimal in value for money the FG invested to build them just to pander to tribal and geopolitical sentiments.

If you read the report very well, what NPA is admitting is the fact that the money FG should have used to upgrade the infrastructures in the two Lagos-based busiest functional ports in Nigeria and west African sub region that it diverted into the white elephant projects called seaports in the other parts of the country. Since 1977, those two ports have not witnessed massive infrastructure upgrades yet FG kept building new ones that are literally economically useless like the p in psychology.

It was the reality of the kind of envy of the Yoruba by folks like you and the spoiler the FG
played against Lagos that made us proceed with private-sector led port alternatives like the Lekki and Badagry Deep seaports so our progress will not be undermined forever in a multiethnic nation like ours.

Now our Lekki Deep seaport is up and we do not need envious compatriots blackmailing us that we held them down. Think out of the box. We have understood your game of acting as spoilers as if the Yoruba are sitting down on your progress when in actual fact the Yoruba are not.

That those two ports are suffering from poor infrastructure is because of envy and bitterness against the Yoruba for hosting those ports, it is not because FG could not have kept them in shape despite the fact that those ports were national assets serving the nation, employing all Nigerians and handling most of the cargoes in Nigeria. We will always triumph in this kind of reality that you are envious of us but please don't drag us into your inability to make a headway, we are not responsible for your woes and having suboptimal political ports. You reap what you sow.

Gossiphub:
That's why you're an illiterate.

Two sources were provided for you to backup the argument, but you reduced it to population size.

Even your brothers and sisters jump early morning buses from Owo and the rest of SW to Onitsha and Aba everyday to buy goods.

Abii you no do economics for secondary school? To know the difference between wholesaler and retailer?

lawani:
Like what will people leave SW to go and buy in SE?. Electronics is in Alaba and car parts in Ladipo. However maybe Igbo retailers go to buy in the East but it amounts to a waste of energy and scarce resources. More than 30 percent of Alaba traders are Ijebu people. I think what it can be possible to import from Onitsha to Lagos are mass produced sewed clothes, shoes etc and the volume can't be much because they are produced in the West too. Then Easterners come to the West to buy things like automobiles, poultry stock and etc. However everything goes back to population and the West is more than double the East in population. Maybe like 2.5 times. That however is to be expected because the SW is also much bigger than the SE. Given the size, the SE is prosperous but it needs bigger cities. Big cities are important.

Davicl:
Do you really know what is intellectual insight to start with, I ask a simple question? How many Port did Lagos state government built from their pockets.

Jogs1900:
They built one by looking for investors...Let your governors take steps if they think you need one in the east..All the SS states already sought for approval to build their own ports...Edo state will soon commission gelegele port, akwa Ibom will soon commmission theirs.Your region is still waiting for the FG to spoon feed them.Its your region that is dragging the progressive south backward..
FYI, I've lived and worked in Enugu before so I know everywhere in the south east.

Davicl:
Stop jumping the question like kangaroo 🦘, so how does someone investment become your own?

Jogs1900:
Come and remove the port from Lagos and carry it to the south east.

Please I'm done with you .

2 Lagos ports control 65% of nation’s import cargo — NPA

NPA puts 5 terminal operators on watchlist
…Pressure on ports cause of infrastructural decay

Another propaganda from Lagos press. We know Onne ports holds 80% of containers coming to Nigeria this was reported last year by the manager of Nigeria ports. Now ,this new propaganda is just another BAT strategy to destroy Onne and feed more to Lagos ,so many will shift their business to a dying state. Sorry it won't work this time we know better

Davicl:
Ok... a new port in the east and number drop drastically

GeneralPula:
But there’s a working port in PH?

Anyways, it will. If you observe your politicians, they’re already scheming ready for it..

After tinubu, ticket goes back to north then back to south..

At this time, it’s most likely going to be between SE & SS to clinch the ticket. But from what’s going on, SS is most likely going to clinch the ticket, going by the way they’re playing their politics..

Pepperdem88:
We control your ports and no amount of lies will change that. We are dredging Oguta river and Onisha river to carry more large vessels for our inland ports. Keep your dirty and dead Lagos . See evidence below .



The National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) has disclosed that about 65 per cent of cargo berthing in Nigeria through the Lagos ports are meant for the South-east, especially Onitsha and Aba in Anambra and Abia States respectively.Its Managing Director, Dr. George Moghalu, who made this known at a news briefing at the State House, Abuja, said most of the consignments that berth in Lagos waters were actually meant for the south-east zone.

His words: “A good number of the consignments come through the Lagos axis. And how is it going to ease the congestion? 60 to 65 per cent of the cargo that comes into this country ends up in the southeast, either Onitsha or Aba.”
