District you fly or you travelled by road?

I have done both. I stayed at trans ekulu area while there. What is your point?

kozmicity:
Are you thinking with ya anus??

When did Port Harcout,Cross river and the Niger Delta become part of the South East??

I guess it's trur what they say[b]You cannot be a complete IPOB if you're not Dumb,Stupid and Delusional[/b]

Who is thinking with his anus? Me or you I didn't not mention ipob or Eastern part of Nigeria, guy focus I beg you

laudate:
Isn't it possible to appeal to the concessionaire to reduce his charges and also get govt involved? Just wondering....

See jamb question!

The company in charge of the port spent a great deal to build/rehabilitate to world class standard ( That port is the most modern in Nig) . So they r trying to recover their money as quick as possible and at the same time govt taxes persists while using the port. That's why imports tro Onne are expensive and everyone runs to Lagos. It's actually the fault of no state govt. It's a federal govt problem. We have a failed Central govt.

Even if the state govt invests money in building a port today, the federal government will still collects taxes, thus reaping from where they didn't sow!

You see me write anythin like "East"...stop looking for loops in my write Ups with ur anus

Amberon11:
you do know that South Sudan is landlocked right? How can a landlocked nation thrive especially amidst hostile nations?

Also How did their call for secession equate to greed when their resources were being carted away to the north who then marginalized them.

You people should stop being sentimental. I'm not Igbo but secession is their right if they so desire it.

In this present days, succession is driven by greed. Developed countries are fighting to acquire more land either onshore or offshore. USA bought Alaska back in the days, USA have more than two time zone, China and India are world leading technological countries and each of them have population of people more than whole of Africa put together.
After schooling in Germany either first or second degree and you are able to secure a job and live peacefully without any trouble for five years, you automatically qualify to file for citizenship despite the fact that they are big, rich and famous, they still need people, they need diversity. Same with Canada.
Succession is nonsense..
Succession is rubbish..
Succession is born out of greed..
Succession is a stupid thing to think of..
If you feel marginalized; Cry to the judiciary, the lawmaker representing your region should fight on your behalf. A call for succession is not the answer and no president would allow succession peacefully in his/her own term.
If you are giving the steering of this country now and today, you also won't listen to Ipob if truly you are not Igbo..
Let issue of Catalan remain a story for another day....

Now i can see how foolishness has become a thing of pride for you. .... Anambra, Abia, Imo and Enugu can't even boast of generating 5% VAT for Nigeria. The way u guys think self baffles me. For your information i stayed in ikem local government in enugu for close to 5yrs and i knw what i'm saying. Brown roof dats producing results and least we are far richer than your Panasonic ass.... go 2ru the trend of this post for evidence. Traditional fool...

Guy, there are still ways round it. Let your Senators, House of Reps members etc., table this issue in all their state and federal house of assemblies, as well as within the Senate. Let them seek an audience with the company, Minister of Transport, those in authority etc., and renegotiate favourable commercial terms with them, that would benefit non-oil importers. If it means extending the concession granted to the company, so that they can recoup their money over a longer period, then so be it. But they need to make a move. Folding their arms and running to Lagos ports isn't going to solve the problem, in the long term. Negotiation and renegotiation of commercial terms is practiced world wide in business circles.

Even the money collected from Lagos seaports goes to federal govt. But Lagos makes its money from the sub-contractors, ancillary service providers around the ports, and other businesses that spring up around the ports!

sunnyb0b0:
I haven't said those at home are poor but yes they have less disposable income compared to many outside.

Igbos move to wherever are economic opportunities. Yes, Lagos for obvious reasons has more economic opportunities than any other state in Nigeria that's why you have millions of Igbos there and doing well. My brother left the East in 1995 for Lagos with only a plastic bag containing all his earthly belongings to go 'serve oga'. Today, he's a billionaire in nairn, employing people, owns properties in Surulere, Ikeja and banana island. Note, he's only armed with WAEC certificate but today employs 7 pharmacists, accountants etc. Mind you, he's just one out of many. How many locals have such success stories?

See where you put yourself in a bind, an ssce holder became a billionaire and employed pharmacists and accountants.Cool so an educated Igbo is dumber than a school cert holder that he has to be employed by a SCH cert holder. Tell you something, that your sch cert billion is either Evans or he is peddling powders.

These people are all billionaires snd major players in their various industries. Many of them had only primary education while some have secondary education. Try to find out what 'igba boy' (apprenticeship) means in Igbo land and how it's pulled families out of poverty. In Igbo land, you do not need to be educated or from a wealthy family to succeed in life.

If you need further explanation on how it works, I'd oblige you as long as you ask nicely.

The problem I have with most people on Nairaland is they talk like they don't know the country they are in.
Oga you talk like you don't know Nigeria! Atiku invested Billions in Onne. And he's making his money back through intels and basically controlling all coys in Onne Industrial zone.

The bill for devolution of powers how did it go? You dey talk like say na Germany u dey! "let your senators blablabla......, negotiate terms with blablabla" You really think they haven't thought of that?

The only thing that can happen in this case is if another port is built by more patient private individuals or a state gvt like in the case of Akwa Ibom and the Ibaka seaport. And getting funds or loans from private investors to build a port in the Niger Delta is difficult cos it's not as commercialised as Lagos. LASG can easily get funds externally to fund projects of nearly any size cos lots of people will be willing to invest in an already made economy.

I'm from the SS okay, so i should be asking you that.

Sunky200:
stop receiving allocation from fg, you and i know that is 'impossican't'.
If you can, i'll advice you to start asking the right question starting from "how much is the federal government making from my/your region every month/annually? afterall fg publish the amount given among the 36 states of the federation

Olodo. And you presumed I'm Igbo, how?

ProWalker:
Go and build your seaport in owerri and Enugu and stop acting mad here

Almost all Yoruba-hating envious illiterate in the politic section are Igbos. The guy is probably right.

Billionaires, but you can't find them on Forbes. Out of 18 million in population, you can only name 5 local companies from a tribe that claims to be industrious. Sighhhhhhh I tire for this flat heads.

I'm not Igbo and I don't recall saying I hate Yorubas. Besides you're equally as lousy and illiterate as the kind of people you just described.

O ga oooo,yIGBO can no longer be proud of their tribe on nairaland again,they've resorted to claiming they are not yIGBO,they are yoruba....!


Na lagos and Ibadan give you mouth,when every your tom dick and harry have managed to learn yoruba in amuwo odofin in lagos and dugbe in Ibadan.

Then why did you assume?

Secession.. I suppose keyboard error..

Thank you very much..
The Problem with Nigerians is our leaders and we, the followers.. If you have a bad father, aren't you suppose to discuss with him and try to change him.. And if he refuses, u'll talk to your uncles and father's friends.. I'd they all refuse, u'll decide not to join them in their evil ways..

That's what I think ought to be but.. I guess many people feel if u can't correct them, join them is the best.. But it's not


Let's work collectively and pray for unity and progress
God bless us all..

United we stand..
Together we can..
