ibo is jealous of yoruba economic advantage

caleboxylic:
Guy, try to import through Onne and see for yourself. Before you get your goods, you pay heavily to Intels bc those goods are not allowed there.
Let the guy tell us why he was made to pay more there or don't we have a uniform tariff from NCS?

what type of brainless lie is this
a port wont allow you to import shoe

Markfemi:
they have changed narrative from no ports in ss to its too expensive to clear there

Nobody changed anything here. If you import any goods that are not related to oil and gas, you bribe your way out unlike Lagos where you pay a standard tariff to NCS/NPA.

Ask any importer around you to hear the real deal. I don't know why NPA/NCS guys have refused to do justice to this topic.

Eboes are jealous of themselves. If you understand the Eboe pschology you will understand why they are so cursed. The Eboe man always thinks WHY NOT ME? If his brother is successfull he is resentful.This is without exception.So when they bring this behaviour to others it is seen as "tribal" but it i not tribal that is how they treat themselves. If an Eboe sees a succesful person his psychological reaction is to formulate a theory why he is more deserving of that success and how that success could not have been achieved fairly unless it was by him.He lies reflexly and is totally without morals where money is involved

The Eboe pursues money so he can use it to OPPRESS others.His sole aim in life is to tell the poor man to shut up and oppress him.That is why an Eboe governor would take a citizen to Government House for FLOGGING because of a perceived insult. They claim to be egalitarian bbut that is a joke . In any Eboe community if you do not have money no matter what you keep quiet. It is that simple

Stop saying nonsensical things that make you contradict yourself. If the goods aren't allowed they wouldn't clear it. Read the NPA tarrif list for 2017 stop talking out your neck.

Please deliver a hand written apologies to your teachers and who ever paid for education they have truly suffered. I'm very serious about this issue in your case. Don't shug this off.

have you observe ibo is the only one on yoruba case
niger delta wey get sea and oil no even send yoruba
yoruba is more than them in population
yoruba is richer than them
we have bigger lands oyo alone bigger than south east
we have sea across lagos ogun ondo
we have border in lagos ogunn kwara

loool so they envy us a lot that said
we need to restrcuture so we can enjoy these resources or pull out of nigeria

will you keep quiet
the reason lagos ports is number 1 is due to 2 things
- Population
-Economic advantage
- Closeness to wealthy states like Ogun and Ibadan
-Closeness to North central via Jebba in Kwara state
-Borders cotonou so you can easily import raw materials drive down and sell to west africa

Its called geographical advantage
Singapore has it
UAE has it

nothing you can do to change it

Next time try to argue with facts! Your opinion of lagos proximity to the north is flawed.The FG deliberately made clearing through Eastern port very expensive with loads of bottlenecks.Most imported consumer goods meant to be sold in the East were routed via lagos port and further trucked to the east because its fare cheaper than using any of the eastern port.Be informed that business is all about making more profit and cutting cost though I don't expect you to understand this fact ,you probably have been working as an employee all your life. It's obvious even to the blind that all the eastern port was deliberately built to facilitate export of mostly crude oil and The FG has covertly frustrated importers from using it through higher tariffs,delays and sometimes deliberately making it insecure thereby leaving it at the mercy of the pirates and militia.

The sheer magnitude of your ignorance and stupidity is so jaw-dropping that I don't even know where to begin! How much of an idiot do you have to be to read "distance" where I said "gateway", and what does distance have to do with anything anyway? Have you ever heard of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway?

As for business knowledge, I'm pretty certain that I make more every week than you make in a year, so you can stuff your worthless "advice" on the topic where the sun doesn't shine.

We all know that it takes just two major tribes to agree before Nigeria will split and obviously Igbos don't have a problem with yorubas pulling out of Nigeria as we want out as well.the only reason Igbos haven't succeeded in securing secession is because Yoruba and Hausas will fight too keep Nigeria as one and at present we don't have what it takes militarily to pursue secession. Fact is that if Igbos and Hausa agree that Yorubas can't go ,you guys can do nada.

I have tried to find out why all those ports are not used as much as Lagos , but no real answer. My conclusion is that Lagos is the commercial capital everyone wants their goods through Lagos .

Moreover good luck finding a shipping company willing to take your goods to any port other than Lagos . I tried it once and did not have much luck . The one company I found wanted to charge arm and leg, then I resorted to Lagos.

I don't do tribal rants,I was giving reasons why I stopped using Onne port based on personal experience and someone like that hasn't tried anything on your own before is talking trash. You may go measure your dick with ur ilk.I don't blame you,I only blame nairaland for giving voice to nonentities like you.

Whoever that is saying that eastern ports are shallow n cannot handle big ship must be high on something.my granny was a staff of NPA pH and according to him,all the goods meant for d eastern region where offloaded here in pH and I could remember vividly sometime around 1999 loads of ships carrying vehicles n other things docked in pH that was the era when golf was sold for 80000 naira n calabar port I could remember when my mama goods use to come in through there.we all know that its part of the conspiracy n that's y some people are crusaders for one nigeria.

Im not telling you oil palm wasnt produced in the west then, I'm saying that oil palm from the SS made the bulk of the revenue and it is a known fact. I'll post the proof if I can find it.

diadem10:
Oil palm was also produced in the west, Ondo state to be precise. So you should be the one to get your fact right.

When we combine revenues from Cocoa, limestone, timber and palm oil, I see nothing comparable from what the east produce. Should I remind you it was Zik who clamoured for 1 nigeria even when the North and the west opposed them? Why did you think he did this? Because the then eastern part had little revenues.

diadem10:
What's this one saying? What if the British built Lagos seaport? Was it from oil produce or cocoa? Before the exploration of oil, Who was the largest source of NG revenues if not the SW for their Cocoa, Timber, Limestones and Palm.. Abi dis one dey mad ni..

Btw, Ondo has huge oil in abundance. In fact, it has the second largest oil reserves after Canada. You should worry about your landlocked red mud SE first!

When did the British tell you the source of their capital for building Lagos ports? The SW was the richest region in the country in the colonial era, but it was never by much. The Eastern region even before oil was not far behind and the fastest developing region in the country and was also a major source of colonial trade.

Ondo is a minor player just like Imo and Abia in oil production. Largest oil reserves after Canada? What cheap weed are you smoking. And you're asking if I'm the mad one?

I won't be dragged into your childish insults. This was a contentious, but largely mature thread, but the kids are never far away unfortunately.

The truth is that the SW is at advantage in some things over the rest of Nigeria.

If you look at it the coastline, the Lagos port can travel through the North of Africa to Europe which is more closer to Nigeria than a ship travelling from the SS through the Gulf of Guinea to Europe which will have to pass through many countries water ways to Europe coupled with the fact the Gulf of Guinea is full of sea pirates in the Somali Coastline so it is more preferable to import through Lagos and even when exporting the ship will go through the SW to Europe and America.

Same reason why the Lagos Airport is more preferable .

All the Eastern ports were majorly created for export not imports.Calabar Port was created by the British for export of Coal from Enugu and that of Onne and Warri was for Crude oil export.

Importing through those port will naturally have higher freight cost than Lagos ports which is much more closer to Europe.

Just like Accra and Lome ports have lower freight quotes and cost than Lagos. Even some importer prefer to import through Accra and Lome and then use road to bring into Nigeria before the Buhari Govt closed the Land borders.

SW is geographically blessed and at advantage so no need Hating direct your complaints to Baba God.

Omofunaab2:
Ogun state IGR surpasses that of the entire south east, Ogun state is the industrial and mining capital of the country.

Ondo state has huge deposits of bitumen, besides its oil exceeds that of Imo and Abia combined

You missed the part where I said Ogun would be in recession, but is in far better position than other SW states bar Lagos and the part I said it has a promising future with spillover investments from a saturated Lagos. But let's not kid ourselves, they're heavily dependent on Federal allocations and they've surprisingly had fiscal issues and needed an FG bailout.

Ondo regardless of its minerals (many states have untapped or underexploited mineral resources) will struggle massively. To me, every single Northern state, every SE state, every SW state, bar Lagos, and SS states like Edo and Cross River would struggle to achieve viability if weaned of the teat of Federal allocations and we ran a true American-style Federal system with states as federations units.

My friend I have respected your comments so far but don't be ignorant. Ondo Oil reserves in form of Bitumen(Oil sand) is truly the second largest next to Canada just that the cost of mining and refining Oil sands is more expensive and technical than the regular crude oil.

Canada have the technology that's why they have more Oil reserves than Nigeria. If the Oil sand in Ondo should be mined they will surpass the rest of Nigeria.

He said largest oil reserves after Canada. Bitumen while related to crude is not crude oil. Simple. And has nothing like the same economic yield and importance as crude oil or natural gas.

Don't be Ignorant once again my friend Nigeria will not attain full resource control if other regions Mineral resources do not commence their own Mining operations.

So you expect the rest of Nigeria to just let SS seceded away from Nigeria after the entire country allowed the SS oil to be explored, drilled and produced at their own expense.

The blame is on the successive govt for ignoring other mineral resources in other regions and focusing on the Niger delta areas.

So don't expect the country to break up peaceful if the rest of the country have not began their own mining operations.

Obi1kenobi:

What is Canada using as their own Petrol and fuel is it not Bitumen. You can get end products such as Petrol and diesel from Bitumen but it is more expensive to mine and technological driven than the Crude oil.

Reason why Nigeria cannot afford to go the route of Canada because they want the fast and easy route.
