Bros, stop confusing your younger one with the sea matter. Where is the sea exactly? If you want to have a sea port no one is holding you if you have the sea.

Is tincan or apapa port setting on the sea?
Which port in Nigeria outside the lekki port is sitting on a sea

Tincan?
Apapa?
Port Harcourt?
Onne?
Calabar?
Warri?
Sapele?

Please tell me which of this ports sits on the sea

Eko Akete. Aromi sa legbe legbe. This is Lagos nick name you can look for someone to translate this for you.

Lagos State State is water maybe you can point any state in the SE that has water like Lagos.

Maybe you need to go back to primary school and ask what's sea port

Igbos have two place where they can have good river ports... Abia(azumini which is closer to the sea than most port in Nigeria) and and IMO (orashi) not even the Onitsha

But that's not my point let every region have power to build and maintain their own ports even if it's inland ports... How's that a bad thing

SE has the highest per Capita number of states in Nigeria. Therefore they have the largest stake per Capita in Nigeria. Population of SE is not more than half the SW and SW should have ten states if SE has five but SW has only six. Is that not an advantage?. That clears any advantage you think Lagos brings to the SW. Then as there are Igbo HNIs in the west and North, there are also Yoruba and Hausa HNIs in the SE ir do you think they are all poor people? There is no bustling city that is developed by indigenes alone.
If you say you contribute as traders, what of skilled artisans? Which is what most Yorubas are in the east. Which is more important?

I have no idea of what you mean by highest number of states per Capita, i don't even think such term even exist

Talking about the population of people in the south east and population of south west I don't know where you got this statistic that , south east is not more than half the population of south west back it up with real statistic,do more research on that before making claims like that , don't confuse landmass of south west to the population of south east

Talking about HNIs you mean
High-Net-Worth Individual. Can you list those Hausa-yoruba HNIs living in south east?

Don't tell me those Yoruba cheap Laborers and artisans, who don't even own a house in the south east are the HNIs you are talking about

If you claim azumini is closer to the sea than any port in Nigeria, then why don't your past leaders gave you sea port? Zik and Aguiyi ironsi?

They didn't because eastern Region had multiple ports then, calabar, oron onne, port Harcourt, Bonny and brass

Eastern Region was not like western region where you people centered development on Yorubas

I am comparing populations. The SW is more than twice the SE in population. Lagos alone is like 25 million people now. According to NIN registration the population of SE is around eighty percent of Lagos alone in population while the remaining states in the SW is about 120 percent of Lagos in population.
If SE of less than thirty million people have fifteen senators while SW of over 50 million have 18 senators is that not a gain for the SE?. That is what I meant.
I have heard of a Yoruba man building stadium offering scholarship in the SE. Is that one a poor man?. There are many people like that.
Then the ones who don't build still pay rent and that is part of what builds any economy.
Even most Igbo traders build at home first

Since you have calabar, oron onne, port Harcourt, Bonny and brass within your proximity then why always fighting for Apapa sea port?

mrvitalis:
If you want igbos to go back home it's very simple

Give state power to build and operate sea ports and airports and place them at international level if they meet the criteria

Give state resources control and police


You can't use federal money to develop Lagos then want only Yorubas to enjoy it

3.9 trillion has been budgeted for Lagos alone South East got 450 billion and you want us to leave Lagos?

The Southeast has no coastal area. Where will you build a seaport?

You have comprehensive issues? I said allow states build and operate ports at will and hustle for people to use their ports

My only issues with apapa port is certain limited to being imported through apapa port that's all

Make all ports equal have always been my song

Nsukka over Aba = fake list

Name the Nigerian port outside lekki deep sea port built on sea please name one

You can't use number of people enrolled for NIN registration to count as indigenous people of south west population

When you enroll for your National Identification Number (NIN), the registration captures your current place of residence — i.e., the state and local government area (LGA) where you did the registration.

NIMC uses this to compile state-by-state data on where people registered, not where they come from originally.

For example:

If someone from Enugu is living and working in Lagos and registers in Lagos, they will count under Lagos State in NIN statistics, not Enugu. So you are wrong

They are all coastal cities.

Presently, no Southeastern city has a coastline.

The closest is Onitsha which can serve as a river port if the river is dredged.

Please note that Switzerland remains one of the richest countries in Europe despite being landlocked.

Interestingly, the richest Swiss is actually into shipping. Weird.

The Igbos as citizens of the country have access to resources of other areas. They are even the richest ethnic group in the country today.

I don't understand what you are saying. All cities that have ports have coastlines. That is sufficient.

Yes I am referring to the sheer population because that is what matters for planning and no state is one hundred percent indigenous people in Nigeria.

As for indigene population I don't think the SW is double the SE in population because I have compared UME registration by state. The SW is maybe 1.6 times the SE

It proves the high population of people who are not from south west developing south west, so why are the igbos always told to go back and develop their states?

Yoruba people are also in other places in their millions
Saying Igbos should go back to their land is because some Igbos believe they have the population to take over the government of Lagos state while the Yoruba turn to spectators. Nothing more than that

You are confused

There are no igbos contesting elections in Lagos so how can Igbos take over the government of Lagos? Just say yorubas are just scared of the high population of igbos in Lagos nothing more

Yes they can be worried. It is natural but Igbos are not the only non Yorubas in Lagos. I doubt if Igbos outnumber Hausas in Lagos. If Yorubas gang up and start claiming right in PH, Kano Enugu etc the natives of those places will be worried too.

There is nothing to doubt the igbos has the highest population of none yorubas in Lagos not just in Lagos igbos have the highest population of people living outside their region around Nigeria, and there is no such thing as igbo gang up, and every right igbos claim is a right of a Nigerian living in Nigeria nothing more

Onitsha is not even top 10 in igbo cities close to cost line

Onitsha port is not viable we have places close to the ocean than some ports maybe do a bit of research

Azumini is just 30 miles from the mouth of the ocean closer to the sea than warri, port Harcourt n calabar ports

You can't be sure unless there is a census because Hausas are also all over the place. They have markets they control and jobs they are known for.

A port in the SE will need river dredging and there are many stakeholders like fisher men that may oppose it

Is there any port that didn't need dredging
Why didn't fishermen oppose lekki deep sea ports

Apapa port dredging.

Bro you don't want igbos in Lagos
You don't want igbos to have their own ports and control their resources

What exactly do you want

I have lived in 3 states in Nigeria, I have visited many states not just their states capital but their village towns , plus my mother is from benue state so from my personal experience and places I have been to I can say there are places you will find igbos in their thousand dominating a town and only find a handful of huasas living in an isolated environment known as Hausa quarters, my mother's home town in adikpo kwande local government of benue state , I will say there are about 100 thousand people in that town I will say they will be about 10 to 14 thousands igbos in that town, there is only 1 Hausa quarters and the people there can't be up to 1 thousand, you will find igbos in all the local government in benue state you can't find hausas in fact there are more ijaws in majority of the local government than Hausa

No Southeastern State has a coastline to build a port, sea or no sea.

Mentioned lagos.
....Not even ikeja or Lekki....Lagos is a state. PORT HARCOURT, ONITSHA, NSUKKA, IBADAN are cities inside a state.
