One main reason why you guys would run in vicious cycles for years to come without a national achievement is the fact that you guys think every of your problems in this life is caused by the Yorubas. You dream them everyday, and nurture hate like new born babies. I know very many of your ilks think the same, particularly those who are not all that learned but then again, I'd want to believe it does not define the Igbos as a people.

This is what we get when we have so many prospective undergrads whose stay-at-home lifestyle have turned to frustration.

Illitrates with a poor sense of Geography. You can establish an inland port in Onitsha, but not in Aba or Enugu or Maiduguri as these towns have no major navigable river that links to the Oceon. I wonder if these bunch of goats ever read or do a survey before talking.

Aba?
Who was your geography teacher?

Dry inland ports has nothing to do with rivers in hinterland, it's last port where freight forwarders/clearing agents go to clear containers/goods and services for their client, after the ship must have landed in seaports and onward discharge at the inland ports through land transportation

hey mr literate, guess you are the one not familiar with geography, do you know that river Niger extends to Enugu, and Maiduguri? Why then do u think Nigeria was coined after river Niger? And for Aba Have you heard of Imo river that borders Abia and Imo state... Guess someone needs to do more traveling kiss

What a monumental waste of senatorial intervention.

When an entire government thinks through the Anus.

Port at Onitsha...no problem.

Port at Aba...White elephant

Port at Enugu...White Orca

It's even another wasted White Elephant that is sponsoring this lunatic insinuations...
I agree with u, but not with your insults.

It's only onitsha that deserves a port. Aba is close to port harcourt. Enugu is close to onitsha and port harcourt too

Typical afonja with brain of a black dove. Go and look at Abia map and see that it actually connects to the atlantic ocean. As God would have it despite carving out the riverine portion of Abia to Rivers state thinking that they have made SE landlocked...in their wicked hearts, they left out one part; perhaps they didn't know there was one waterway in Ubuaku that leads to the Atlantic ocean...massive waterways.
Massive waterways??. who is deceiving you?. Lying Nyamiri.

... Great development. You can't hold down a region for too long simply because of unhealthy politics. This recession and it's economic antecedents is really bringing a great succour and opportunities to the great people of SE.

Talking about contract to supply military vehicles to the Nigerian army from Innoson, contract to supply military shoes and wares from Aba talented cobblers, Ekiti state sponsoring its youth to go and learn trade in Aba, Government campaign for preference for made in Nigeria products which is 80% control by SE, ban on importation of rice which has suddenly placed Anambra and Ebonyi on the top echelon of massive rice producing States, etc.

I must really state that this is the best time for SE people. Everything is really turning around for their own good.

Since shagari regime 1983, they are still talking about Onitsha in land port, Aba azu mmiri and oguta. Shame

Some people will now say oh they have given you port so forget Biafra. While it exist only on paper like Niger 2nd bridge.
Then as election comes they will say vote for us we gave you inland port and roads.

You can fool some people some time but not all the people all the time.

FG and their politicians are fraud stars.

We're tired of Nigeria.

Biafra is the answer.

1 reason the port in oone and PH are still not at half capacity. A better idea would be an industrial zone and warehousing facilities of some sort.

2 the country doesn't have the money ,we are better off developing our road and rail network

It defies logic that the FG does not understand the importance of having more seaports in a country as big as Nigeria to boost commerce and haulage of goods.

We should have more but do we have the money to do so now ? No

It is not the most pressing matter, a better idea would be to improve the transport network, provide logistical support for commerce in form of warehousing and hubs

An inland port doesn't need access to a river,we can design a man made canal system like the British and Americans have done. Which obviously would be a waste of resources very scarce at this moment in time.

I agree Onitsha is a geographically viable location , but then I think of the oone sea port which is still not at 20% utilization

I thought dry port or inland port meant a terminal linked by road or rail and connected to ports likes the ones in Lagos or port harcourt.!!. The purpose would be for onward transport of goods to the surrounding cities and towns.

Yes you can have such and it would be of immense economic importance to establish such. Onitsha, Enugu, abakaliki and lots of cities in the north could be well linked to enhance commerce.


Your statement above is accurate and correct major cities like onitsha enugu aba kaduna , kogi , ogun state ,maiduguri , Lagos PH , ondo should be better connected by rail networks for mass transit of cargo

However there is a general error in that many on this thread are advocating for or against an inland waterway connected to the athlantic via a river or canal which as we all know with our current financial capacity is a waste of resources

I wish oda Igbo senators like Nnaji, Egwu, Ubah, Abaribe n co... Could hv the Igbo nation at heart like Stella...

If it eventually scaled tru in d senate, then kudos should be given to the northern senators cos with their numerical strenght dey could put an hold to it before kudos goes to the sponsor and other senators from the south. Igbos in dis forum are happy now about this one but dey forget the northerners and westerners they hate so much supported it cos only your senators could not have made it possible if they all tribalism to play out.

Who says there's no money for those projects? The FG and the Senate can decide to channel 2-5% of proceeds from crude to fasttrack those projects along with massive infrastructural support. An agreement b/w business moguls and billionaires from the SE and the FG can see private persons funding the project up to 70% of the way with counterpart funding from the FG. Attractive tax and business waivers and shareholding agreements of such ports can be entered into. There are loads of options to be explored so please don't sing that lying song of 'There's no money'. It's bad policies and greed of d current crop of leaders that has landed us where we are today.

Who are the billionaires who would fund the venture ! the ones who see the vast amount of investment opportunities in Nigeria atm but have not keyed in. Abeg come take some origin clear eye the money does not exist anywhere like that and the few billionaires alresy have their liquid assets tied up somewhere and have massive loans to service

I would rather we use any money raised to develop an advanced rail systems and maybe construct an industrial hub and warehousing structure. Some change can go into solar/energy provision for the manufacturers in aba (Nigeria silicon valley)

You did not address the entire post...have we stopped selling crude? The FG should get real with the ND and accede to their demands, they are more than deserving. If the process of restructuring and fiscal federalism is fully kicked off and implemented, the FG will not even need to feature in this cos regions will take stock of what they need and do the needful. There is money! The problem is stupidity is inability to open up more earning sources and maintain already existing ones by the FG as currently constituted.

Brother we have not stopped selling crude , however let us be realists

We have a deficit in our hands

We have an economy which needs an urgent turn around through FG injection into several areas and diversification

We have a war still on against the BH and need to put money towards NE reconstruction (VAT deductions)

We have to resolve the ND issue with financial commitments

We have to spend money on national electricity transmission system (grid)

2nd niger bridge

The 5000 employed youths program

We still have our expensive FG , NASS and SG reoccurent expenditure

You are here talking of inland port.

Your idea is truly novel if the FG can find a suitable PPP ideally local investors to lead the project that is a great idea. This is more of a project for the state governments to lead same way Lagos is taking lead with its Free trade zone. There is a lot of money and commerce in that Aba , onitsha enugu axis

But there should not be any expectation on FG to make it a prime project or any major funding we already have enough FG uncompleted projects
