There was never a time in Ibadan that free education was sup to university level. It was free at elementary and subsidized at university level. Even when you study a road you go to Western House for you subsidy stipends.make una take am easy to dey lie.
I finished university at OAU, Ife in the early 90s, and I enjoyed free education from primary school to university. I paid no single kobo. So, what are you saying.

If Calabar seaport is not working at full capacity, is it not senseless to borrow money for a new seaport?

Why are we so dumb huh
Calabar port is very inland and narrow, bakassi is just by the ocean like apap

Well...
My Dad went to University of Ife, for free in the 70s.

PHD in the US was also free.

Happy?

Was it not federal government free education of the u0s following oil boom? Even UNN had free education in the 70s too.

That was not Awolowo free education oooo. Awo's free education started in 1955 and ended in 1967. What you had was free education by the federal military government.

Stop changing goal posts...

University edication was free and I have given proof.

My Dad never paid a dime all through his schooling-- up to PHD.
Thanks to the foresight of Awolowo.

...and I don't care if Enugu had free education or not.
We are not measuring dicks here.

Oga free education ended in 67. What your father had was Federal military government free education which students in UNN in the 70s also enjoyed. You people should stop twisting narratives.

Oga just shut up and stop all this propaganda. When was the last time an ocean going vessel visited Onne. I remember last year when you people want to use propaganda and hide the real fact about Eastern ports. You will now bring a write on an ocean going vessel discharging at Onne, after that the next 7months we will hear nothing. That Arise IPP the name alone is already fishy. This is a classical SPV that will be used to funnel money. I can bet you by 2027 we will not see any bush clearing talk more of a port.
Onne receives vessels, I don't know where you got the information that it doesn't.

Arise IPP is legit as it has initiated several industrial estates and production sites across Africa. It even has a project in Ogun state.

Lol. Oga we know SPVs when we see them. This Arise is no exception, you are spending too much energy trying to defend it. Again i never said Onne doesn't receive vessels we know that Eastern Ports are for only Oil production supplies and occasionally various goods. The key ask is simple get the FG to upgrade the ports and dredge the channels, just as the british and FG dredged the elebute channel to enable large ships berth.

Hope this dude is not repeating Donald Duke's mistake. For a seaport to be practical there are questions to be answered.

1. Where is the market for the goods.?

2. Where is the access roads to lift goods from the port to their destinations? The roads connecting Calabar to other states are in dilapidated state, the midget governor wanted to construct a new road by demolishing a heritage forest but only succeeded in destroying the forest.

Otu shouldn't expect people to leave Lagos, Onne and Onitsha to come and clear containers in Calabar.

Trucks ant simply ply that single land narrow road.

For a port that was not bringing in N1 but costing the government to keep it in form, 20% stakes is a lot. The gains far outweighs the costs. This will open up Cross River state. For a start, it isn’t a bad deal.

And do you think the governor hasn’t done due diligence and made consultations? Some of you are interesting.

With 20% the state can achieve a whole lot.

Stop looking at the 80% UAE is taking . They are the ones taking the risk of a dead port to bring it to life.

How can a project relinquishing 80% ownership to an Arab company sound wise to anybody?

It can also serve as an export port of agricultural products from Taraba, Benue, and Cross River

If you knew about all the previous efforts to sabotage the ports in the SE and SS, you would focus on dealing with your lukumi h@litosis
Who were the saboteurs and whose regime was that? Was it PDP era or APC era? So let's start from there.
