You import from Onne to Aba?

What are you talking about? Do you mean you move imported goods from Onne port to Aba? What does high charges on logistics has to do with the port tariff?

I use Onne very well but stopped due to reason that Onne is more stricter that Lagos. Onne too like to follow due process (that is good anyway).

The tariff in Onne is even cheaper but people prefer Lagos because of contrabands and many more.

Therefore, the excuse of saying port not around SE and that is why people are not moving there is all bullshit and should be stopped.


If you people prefer your villages, go there and let Lagos be
you talking like someone who has never run a business. I cannot waste my time on you dude.

Just accept that you are daft.

This is beyond hawking gala or chargers. I am telling you how international business is done. We are talking about Onne port and you are saying you moved your goods from Onne to Aba. Are you that daft?

Give us a functioning port close to us, then watch what happens. Leave all these politics or monopolizing ports

We don't need ports, it will destroy our ecological footprint and environmental health with it's evil over industrialization.

Truth hurts the idiot. Lagos is building a new port from scratch as a state. What's stopping your states collaborating to build one?

You don't have! Once your parents die you share property. I served in Abia, ugwunagbo to be precise.

Everywhere is commercialized. Most of the places you will snap in Ibadan or other southwest city are family houses and not new houses.

People go deeper inside to build new houses. Where is that deep place you people will move too in SE?

That's exactly what I'm saying. Abi wetin we dey talk wetin you dey talk?

Name the place j can also give the list of where I mentioned.
The lawmaker representing Ogbaru 1 State Constituency in
the Anambra State House of Assembly, Hon.
Chukwunonso Noble Igwe, has lamented that some
communities in Ogbaru Local Government Area of the
State have not seen Electricity for many years.
Igwe, who revealed that communities like Ogwuikpele,
Ogwuaniocha, Akili-Ogidi, Obagwa and some others have
not seen electricity from the National Grid, maintained that
these communities had been living in total darkness for
many years culminating in underdevelopment of the areas.
The SW has better access to electricity than the SE. Do you want evidence?

Give you port? Who gave Lagos the new Lekki deep port?

Only a failure blamed others for his woes

Only Fed govt approves port building else you'll build and it will never be allowed for use.
Custom will be there. Army, DSS etc. Nig is still afraid of the Igbos.

Only federal government approves port functionality.

Ask yourself why do all states now have airport with the fixation. ‘’ international’’ while only Lagos and Abuja receives?? Kano intl wing only function during prigmage to Mecca.
It’s just political we all know

Now imagine if The Estern part has a functional airport and seaport approved by the federal government ..

You are the one not getting it. Onne port is fully functional and is the fastest growing port in Nigeria in terms of new activities. But the South West region is the most business attractive part of Nigeria in terms of consumption and that's where the most companies are. So most nigerians including ibos Will prefer lagos to onne. You are the ones not using Onne, no one is blocking you.

Your brain is rusty, try cleaning it up once in a while.

the South West have more FG presence than anyone other region in the south, so it has no comparisn being the most underdeveloped region. even if you bring pics from other villages in another region and compare it to your state.if in 10yrs the region becomes more developed than yours what would you say? point is hold your people responsible not being bitter. you should be comparing your village to other places in developed country

southwest is not developed if you remove Lagos. This I can tell you for sure.
The moment you leave to Ogun state, the remainder are nonsense. You won't even tell the difference between Markurdi and Akure

Even in Lagos, the further away you move from the Island, the lesser the development. Places like Alagbado, Ikotun, ayobo, idimu, alakuko, ijaye, ojo, ijaniki that are close to Ogun state are total mess and would not compare to an average city in other parts of Nigeria.

How what basis would you say that Abeokuta is more developed than Jos, or Akure is more developed than owerri or Osogbo is more developed than kano? Nothing is in southwest outside of lagos

even the lagos is only rated because of its commerce not because of its serenity. lagos is only compared with other state in nigeria and not anywhere outside nigeria.
who doesn't know lagos is a glorified slum that can't be compared to any city in the south.

what happened to onne port or its not close enough? All the airports in the SE and SS they are not close enough? What have you done with what you have around that you want something closer? Or is it your bedroom you want FG TO come build port? 🤔

they generated the revenue because federal government gave the apapa and tincam monopoly for years. Which brought businesses hence revenue.

It's simple
Oga all port taxes go to the FG.....Lagos doesn't make money from the apapa and tincan ports.....the FG only has 5% in the Lekki port because it is a private business and they must surrender 5% stake to FG to fulfil their port license agreement, if not it will be completely private funded by Lagos and private businesses......

Yorubas are too slow and dull in accepting positive changes. Imagine a local government that is only few kilometers from Lagos being so backward. Some places in SW appear even more remote and underdeveloped than places in NE.

Missionaries came to their place before other parts of Nigeria. Awolowo also gave them free education yet Igbos overtook them in one fantastic burst of energy!

If Lagos was close to Igboland the way it is close to Yorubaland, I bet you, no ethnicity in Africa would have come close.
but what have you made of your closeness to Rivers State? Economically speaking it is the No.2 state in Nigeria.....what have you done with that, that makes you feel you must be close to Lagos?
