Too late we will wait for Peter Obi to build bigger vessel port instead.that we we are sure this is not AUDIO campaign approval.

Like Obi did in Anambra.

Vivid imagination 🤣

Political campaign. Audio approval, coming immediately after the uproar on Tinubu and Ogun State Seaport in France.

My Niger delta leaders will always be mumu

They are the highest mumu in this country


As if flooding their people in our oil industry was not enough

They use our oil as finance guarantees to expand south western ports and then come and whine us with mou and campaign promises in akwa ibom

I blame my people who don't know who their true enemies are in this British company called nigeria

Imagine a core southerner supporting coastal road that is meant to drive traffic from sw ports to the se and ss

A strategic move to keep the nation relying on them


One day we will sit down and really ask where this British company run by chagoury is taking us to

quit bitterness. Alot of people are buying land around the coastal road because. It will surely open each state it passes. You cant blame SW for neglect of south south cos jonathan had luxury of time to develop our region but foolishness didnt allow him.

Am not like those that will fight a president that wants to remove fuel subsidy only to later remove it.

Bolded.
Great.

They fought GEJ for talking about removing fuel subsidy, but the first day they came to office, they removed fuel subsidy.
Tribalism is why they fought GEJ hands down.

2027 election strategy we are wiser now.

Tinubu must go

No deep seaports approve in the whole of the south east and the leaders there kept mute.....

Over to Gov Soludo, Uzodinma and offcourse, Hon minster Dave Umahi

After the election, e no go happen

This is just to deceive the soul called South South people, for tension not to be raised so the Ogun sea port can fly.

I can bet me ass, nothing will be done bookmark this page

Is the Ogun State Deep Seaport a Federal Government Initiative? Is the Proposed DANGOTE Deep Seaport a Federal Government Initiative? Is the Bakassi Deep Seaport Project in Cross River State a Federal Government Initiative?

You sound so childish with your question.

Parachoko:
You don't mean it?

If you're truly happy with this development, who's your Candidate in the 2027 Presidential Election?

This will further press the neck of Biafra's. They wanted to claim lagos Yoruba say no, them go sought sought those ones say no... Now they want to add more salt to their wound. I think they should beg FG to do roads that connect to all ports for their containerd

Is there any Deep Seaport Project that was brought to Federal Government for approval and support that was rejected?

When OBI was the Anambra State Governor and also Honorary Special Adviser to Goodluck Jonathan on Economy and Anyim Pius Anyim was the Secretary to Federal Government during the period Crude oil was sold above $120 per barrel, was there any Deep Seaport Project initiated by Peter OBI and Jonathan in the South East? Remember, Lekki Deep Seaport is a Private sector initiative. ATIKU was one of the Major Promoters of Badagry Deep Seaport Project before he channelled his energy elsewhere.

Federal Government approved Bakassi Deep Seaport Project for Cross River State several months ago.

Investment: Estimated at approximately $2.27 billion in private capital investment, with an additional $3.5 billion secured through a partnership with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank).

Partnership Structure: Developed under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework, featuring a shareholders' agreement where UAE-based port developer Arise IPP holds an 80% stake and the Cross River State Government retains.

This is the kind of partnership that Ogun State Governor entered with investors to develop the Seaport for the State.

Tjra:
You see why the people of Rivers voted massively for Tinubu?

They didn't actually vote massively for Tinubu. Wike rigged for Tinubu especially in Rivers State, but I'm sure you already know this

If you're truly happy with this development, who's your Candidate in the 2027 Presidential Election?

The joy will be complete if executed but giving mere paper approval at this dying minute is just for political reasons, no sincerity

ChristCee:
Yoruba l'agba. As a bonafied son of Ile k'aaro Ojiire, I can tell you for free that you are disgracing us here. Stop being tribalistic and support Tinubu in peace. The other guy has proven to have a better IQ and he also appears to be more collected. Go and rest abeg

It's crystal clear that you're not a bonafide Yoruba free born, It is either you are Adalumalu, carrying a tainted lineage, or you are a true Atohun Riwa who merely acquired the Yoruba language and culture over time.

As we say in Yorùbá land, “Ọmọ ẹni ò lè ṣe díbẹ̀rẹ̀ kí a fi ìlẹ̀kẹ̀ sídì ọmọ elòmíràn.” And remember: “Bí ọmọ ẹrú bá ti pé ní ilé, ohun náà á máa bù Alájọbí ní.”

Language can be learned, culture can be studied, and mannerisms can be imitated—but ancestry is not something one acquires by recitation.

That is my two cents for you. Take it or leave it.

Lol

So this is the mentality with which you cross the road every day in Nigeria? Because of tribalism, you are trying to reason with your feet.

You quote Yoruba proverbs about ancestry, yet you completely miss the core philosophy of Yorùbáland: Ọmọlúwàbí. True Yoruba heritage is measured by Ìwà (character, truth, and justice), not by defending failure out of ethnic sentiment

Consider these proverbs before lecturing anyone on Yoruba culture:

“A kì í torí pé a fẹ́ jẹ ẹran ká jẹ eégún poisonous.”

(You don't swallow poisonous bones just because you are hungry for meat.)

Supporting bad economic policies or bad governance just because the leader is from your tribe is self-sabotage, not patriotism.

“Bí a bá ń sọkún, a máa ń ríran.”

(Even while weeping or supporting a brother, a wise person keeps their eyes clear enough to see reality.)

Blind support isn't loyalty; it is foolishness.

“Òtítọ́ kò ní ẹ̀ya.”

(Truth has no tribe.)

Calling out poor performance or holding leaders accountable, regardless of whether it's Tinubu, Peter Obi, or anyone else, is what a principled person does. If your only defense for political support is “he is my tribesman,” then you are the one disrespecting the intellect of the Yoruba race.

Go back home and learn more from your fathers.

Wait, did I just reply someone who cannot articulate their own speech but rely on AI for something as simple as replying to a public comment? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Port Upgrade and construction of New Deep Seaport are mainly based on Rate of Return on Investment. For example, there are many Port Infrastructure Upgrades going on at Major Seaports in Africa. In West Africa alone we have major Seaport infrastructure upgrade going in Abidjan, TEMA , Lome and Cotonou. For several years, some Nigerian Cargoes are delivered to Ports in Lome, Cotonou and even Ghana.

GHANA
Ghana’s $1.5 billion Tema Port upgrade is igniting a regional trade competition as it seeks to reshape West Africa’s shipping landscape, challenging Togo’s Lomé, Côte d’Ivoire’s Abidjan, and Nigeria’s Lekki Deep Sea Port. The expansion, which triples Tema Port’s capacity to about 3 million containers per year.

DANGOTE
When Dangote said they brought over 100,000 containers for construction of the Refinery and Lagos Port doesn't have facilities to receive the Cargoes, he had to use LOME Port. Some people were asking why didn't he use Warri or Port Harcourt Port? There are many things about Shipping that people don't know.

Togo population is about 9.5 Million people but LOME have the Busiest Port in West Africa. It is not just the Busiest Port because it's a Freeport. A Busy Port must have infrastructure, technology and people to receive the ships and the Cargoes.

While Countries in the regional bloc upgrade their PORT facilities to contest for patronage in the region, in Nigeria, any attempt to upgrade Lagos Seaport become an ethnic tension. Even when Private Investors on their own come to make commitments for Deep Seaport in the South West, it becomes an Ethnic tension. A Lawyer from Plateau State who was a former Minister was on a Social Media platform giving false information about MOU signed for the construction of Deep Seaport in Ogun State by Private Investors. Was he expecting Ogun State Governor to take the investors to another State? Was he expecting Tinubu not to grant operating consent to the project? Why are we attracting Foreign Investors?

Grab them before they run out please. it's selling fast.

zinowealth:
Asking this questions shows you already aware Tinubu have lost this election. This is just a way to please Wike and we already Wike have lost rivers and south south. The kind of defeat tinubu will face will be thunderous

Before Wike aligned with Asiwaju, nah I'm he don promise to dredge the Ports in the Niger delta and make dem competitive

A Bitter News for Obidients to swallow

how is this bitter ?
A move that comes after the outrage against the approval to build a seaport in Ogun State.


Your Pharaoh is nothing more than a reactionary president who only reacts to the cries of Nigerians to gain their sympathy for the upcoming elections

clarocuzioo:
It's not a bitter news, trust me it's a welcomed development. Hope they see it through.
That's exactly what we want to happen. That's the difference between us and you people.

exactly it means Tinubu is afraid of us , it means he is aware of our capacity to decimate his tyrannical and tribalsitic rule.

He knows he may lose the forth coming elections.
Politicians are meant to be afraid of the masses not the masses being afraid of them.
