Did you factor in the miltants palaver?

Stolen:
When u want to build a railway did u factor militant palaver?

kayfra:
You don't have sufficient cognition to make any meaningful contribution beyond what tribalism has enslaved you to become.

kayfra:
Myopic thinking.

How about you do something with the existing ports in that region like Onne rather than asking for an idea full of folly. When you get to secure your waterways, maybe shipping insurance prices will just be low enough for shippers to reconsider plying that area.

You don't have a clue of the benefits of intermodal transportation in an economy and you can't decipher why another port in a dangerous area is a bad idea? Smh

Stolen:
We are discussing economic interest, let us not turn it into tribal war. Grow up!

kayfra:
First thing you should do before opening a thread about the economic relevance of ports is to ask your self the level utilization of existing ports in SS before asking for yet another port that will be unused. Address the usage of existing ports before moving with a white elephant project.

Stolen:
Very good that u raised that point. U have to understand that their are no deep seaport in the whole SS/SE.

Wat u have in Onne is nothing more than a Riverport interms of capacity and machinery.

How can two regions with the largest access to sea front not have a Deep Seaport?

Yet u wonder Y our economy and currency are stagnating.

obailala:
Speak for yourself man. SE and SS needs the railway as well as the seaport. As much as efforts are being made to build this all important railway, efforts should also be made to revive the seaports in PH, Warri and Calabar. But your position that a high speed railway connecting the entire SE/SS region is 'useless,' no reasoning could be more pathetic.

Efforts are being made presently by the Cross Rivers government to develop a seaport with private investors; the Lagos government is also doing same for a seaport at Lekki, so it is possible for power blocks in the SE to pull brains and resources together to achieve a seaport close to Aba. Recently the transport minister raised a pertinent question pertaining to why seaports in the Niger delta aren't viable any more. He promises to look into that and whether he does succeed in that aspect or not, it does not change the fact that the coastal railway which links all the southern major cities and some south-eastern cities is a very economically important project. Your lack of understanding on this (which is glaringly fuelled by your prejudice for any project that links Nigeria up) cannot change the importance of this project.

Stolen:
The coastal rail way will destroy our sea front view.

It is a useless idea that can never generate foreign income and increase our foreign reserve.

However, wen tribalism leave Nigerians alone, feel free to construct a deep seaport and see Nigeria Economy grow.

Lagos is over crowded, let us not wait until we massacre each other on the street of Lagos.

Yoruba greed will ultimately lead to dat, as our collective wealth continues to be diverted to Lagos.

omoharry:
NICE ONE.

obailala:
For any educated person to possibly question the economic relevance of having a robust transport system, it speaks volumes of such a person's intellectual capacity. Put your tribal bigotry/hatred/distrust aside, put political differences aside, put your election loss trauma aside, then you will realise how pathetically empty and ridiculous these your statements are.

Stolen:
We are only demanding wat we lack and need. We are pursuing our Economic interest as u are doing and have done.

No need to turn this debate on economics into tribal war.

Stolen:
If u ask me the train is a very useless idea with no economic benefit besides aiding mass migration.

SS/SE dont need dat right now as we build our region.

obailala:
Who is we?... No offence, but you are only expressing a shocking case of utter ignorance.

Stolen:
A seaport is under federal list not state governors.

People want to talk but have very little idea.

Will the federal governmnet ever approve such for SE?

BEST WAY FORWARD IS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH TO CONSTRUCT IT.

Stolen:
Go to the street, the people i represent(my constituency) will express the same sentiment.

Or do u want us to repeat it live as we did in the last elections in those regions.

obailala:
Oh! obviously in your head, a high speed rail connecting the coastal cities is synonymous with APC and Buhari so therefore, it must be opposed?

Sorry boy, you have once again exposed your stark ignorance and contrary to your delusion, your category of human reasoning doesn't represent up to 1% of the entire SS or SE.

socialmediaman:
You kinda forget that Cross River, Akwa Ibom have potentials for tourism and technology growth which could build those economies. People will frequent these cities for relaxation and business from all over Nigeria if commute would be faster

Stolen:
Dude dont destroy our sea front with rail track that will kill people in accident. Road accident is enough.

We need Deep Seaport, period.

obailala:
I rest my case. You win bro... your own case is special.

Stolen:
Dude dont destroy our sea front with rail track that will kill people in accident. Road accident is enough.

We need Deep Seaport, period.

aresa:
See ignorance. Road accidents kill more people than rail? Rail accident is very very rare..

Stolen:
Here dey come flooding in, SW ADVICE CREW.

Stolen:
Wat value have all the train constructed by GEJ added to the Economy and country? Did we not vote out GEJ despite his hard work?


Honestly, right now SS/SE urgently need Deep seaport in Port Harcourt, Abia or Akwa Ibom.


Just one major Federal Deep Seaport.

author=Stolen post=44606960]


Who told u that? We dont need that project, we need deep seaport period.


If southwest need deep seaport will dey support railway to calabar? No!


They do that because lagos alone have about four deep seaport or more, this exclude those under construction.

Stolen:
Am not your brother Oooo! I dont know who u are. This is a faceless site and moniker dont mean anything.


SS/SE deserve their fair share of Federal project. Our oil money is not all for Northern project and Lagos. I repeat.


U take out loan in our oil name and spend all the money without including us, is that good?
