Very impressive. I love my country. There is shortcomings everywhere include America where someone will carry gun and started killing anyhow.

You are not alone on this.
Together, we all have to make Nigeria the country we yarn for.

God bless Nigeria.

contigiency:
I have said it that buhari will definitely leave a better legacy than other past leaders. And I have no doubt that it is the fear obasanjo has when he started writing letters and forming coalition against him, just to ensure that no one else should surpass him. But he has failed on that already.

Zombie being enticed by shiny objects.
We have seaports in Nigeria before Buhari came into the picture
and I haven't seen any former president or governor boasting of
creating it.
SMH.

Nice work

Maxigoody:
we have the Apapa port, dry port and now deep sea port All in Lagos state.
what happens to the ports in the Niger Delta( Delta, Rivers, Calabar, Akwa-ibom )?
And they tell us there is fairness in Buhari's Government my foot.
it is no news, the South-East and South-South have been scammed by this Fulani government while the South-East are busy licking the boot of this vindictive government if President Buhari.
And for Mrs. Akajija, how many oil wells are owned by the Niger Delta people?

Nigerians wise up!

am not in support of concentrating development in one region cos me self don tire for lagos traffic.. But you guyz are in no position to say you have been scammed when you did not even vote for them.. Moreover it's lagos that is building it not the FG. talk to your governor to build one for you.

What baffles me is that some shiit-heads ibos will still say yorubas betrayed them with this project going on in lagos

More reason to buy properties in ibeju Lekki.
When this seaport, dangote refinery and Lekki Free Trade zone fully become operational, demand for houses to buy will become high and prices of landed properties will triple.

The time to invest at Ibeju Lekki axis is now!

I think Lagos States deserves its own modern deep seaport and even airport, away from the usual facilities on Apapa/Ikeja/Mainland.

Traffic congestion can be solved by having fewer cars on the roads. How far with the Lagos railway lines and Train stations?

I don't think that the development needs of other states are being obstructed by Lagos State. But it will not be wise for other states to watch their population drift away to Lagos. But rather than compete with Lagos, they should complement and assess their needs based on their own stages of development and resources available, which Lagos does not have. Lagos does not have everything.

obynzo:
I was born and brought up in Lagos and Honestly it's in the best interest of Lagos the FG develop other ports if not this lekki port would spark off a population explosion and traffic congestion never witnessed before.

I wonder why you need to build lekki port when you have Ibaka, portharcourt, calabar and Onne all begging for upgrade. if we had visionary leaders, the combination of all these ports is enough to turn Nigeria to a hub for shipping in Africa

The Lekki port is a Lagos state government's initiative and it is being built by the Lagos state government to improve the economy of Lagos state. Should Lagos fold its arms and halt its own development simply because other state governments chose not to do anything for their states?

Meanwhile it appears most of the other ports you mentioned arent deep sea ports like this one, except for Ibaka. So in essence, the competition or comparison should be between Lekki vs Ibaka. But the now question is, what is Akwa-Ibom state government waiting for to commence Ibaka?... Approvals had been given ages ago but instead of commencing the Ibaka project or searching for investors to commit to it, Akwa-Ibom state government is rather spending N10billion to build a mega state owned church.

Who really should be blamed for the above?... Lagos state government, FG or Akwa-Ibom state government?.

walter08:
why building another seaport in Lagos when you can build seaport in other states. There are neighboring states and niger delta. Govt should know that lagos population and should not bring in something that will make the current population to explode. #SpreedDevelopmentToOtherStates

You want Lagos state government to use Lagos state money in building a seaport in another state?

So many people have been asking this weird question and I'm still not sure I know where it's coming from.

@kolawoleibukun.oga mi . we are our problems .Imagine we dont have a single vessel that gives money in foreign currency. Imagine how we would have made money we have the likes of Maersk Nigeria operating .The government brought about CABOTAGE laws to regulate funding for indigenous companies yet no way.


We have the likes of Maersk, MSc,, Cosco, PIl, Gold star, grimaldi even as a port terminal navigating our territorial waters as they like. The only money NPA makes is the 7% surcharge from the port operations and some other charges. Why you are seeing filipinos around amaechi is that they are good sea fearers .? What are the comparative advantages we have over other countries except to bring down ourselves before them .

Its baffling and ironical. Ati di omo eleran ti o je egun

Odingo1:
Nigeria is a joke, those happy that lagos is having everything should know that Nigeria will never develop with this congestion in one place.
Why not build port in other places to spread development.
South Africa have 4 key port that covers the whole country.
The port of cape town
Port of Durban
Port Elizberth
Richards Bay

In Nigeria only one state have all the port and international airport.Shithole people.

Lagos state government should use its money money to build a seaport in other states?... I think the shithole thing you mentioned is also affecting reasoning in many quarters.

Lekki free trade zone is a state project and the only support the federal govt is rendering is the sea port on that axis as its very important for proper functioning of the zone, if you have been to that area u will know what im talking, its an emerging industrial hub in africa, so you really can't expect the apapa port to serve that area, our roads will be stucked.

Nigerians wise up!

Why is everyone asking this weird questiin and reasoning in this weird way?... Should Lagos state government spend Lagos state funds in building a seaport in delta state or river state or akwa ibom?....

Meanwhile Akwa ibom has since gotten approval to build Ibaka deep sea port, but instead of funding the project or searching for strategic partners to fund the project, Akwa-Ibom state government is committing N10billion to build a mega-church. Such fuckery exists amongst the leadership in the Niger delta but every single time it seems the blame game is always the sweetest response; blame all others except yourself for your problems.

Abeg how exactly is it the fault of Lagos state, or the fault of Buhari or Fulanis that the Niger Delta ALWAYS elects shitty leaders?

Iaudable projects around the free trade zone, but something should be done about access road between lekki - epe else the congestion will be second to none.

Enough of these coastal ports and perambulations, by now more emphasis should have been to develop and finish the inland ports. It will free congestion in most these costal towns Warri, pH and Lagos. Free up the collapsed beyond repair Apapa Oshodi express way and free up most of the major highway in the country.

valentineuwakwe:
I wonder why every important port in these country are in Lagos......what happen to other areas....when will amaechi come to portharcourt and inspect the onne port....

. My brother, lekki port is been constructed by Lagos State govt not fed. Govt

kolawoleibukun:
must it be white man and Filipino? are there no Nigerians capable enough to manage or direct our projects? many Nigerians are doing well abroad why cant we have a Nigerian running our projects? Filipino way dem never see road too still be oga for 9ja. these people are housemaids and nurses elsewhere in the world. how come dem still day head our federal projects again?

Nigeria na better confirm shitthole. the reason for this port is to connect dangote refinery and nothing more. if the masses think that this project is for them, it is a confirm hoax.

Whenever you own your own multi national company make black man the managers. The first state to be declared bankrupt in USA as a black governor. How many country with black president is a success since they have been granted independence.

Let any black president develop his country to the standard the white developed South Africa, a country on the Afteican continent. Then, I might believe that black ain’t born with black brains. Until that is the case am sorry each n every Blackman is a dullard no matter how distinguished you are on your field. A race that can not develop it’s populations or land is definitely incapacitated.

djacob:
This Bastard is busy with Lekki seaport while portharcourt seaport is a big joke

hahahaha that one na port..
the way olam is the life of warri seaport thats how pH port is

Make all the investments enter all south west states too o.

you are right but I think in my opinion that all south western govt should put their different aside and work on dawn agenda. If one rife in 45mins to an hour train from ekiti to Lagos, that will automatically decongest the city and spark up development in those States. We only need more committed and visionary leaders in our region. The dieing odua investment should be refinanced. You can imagine what wema bank can impact on projects financing of the region if its up and doing. DAWN is that way to go. A lofty idea with paucity of actions.

one day the Sun will set in the east and this port is going to be a ghost of it old self..

They simply believe it's the job of the FG to build a seaport
When you come to Nairaland, you will realise that not every person that claims to be a graduate is really educated
You will see a stark contrast between Nigerians on Quorra and Nairaland

Your forefathers wished the same and worst evil to befall Lagos, but guess what..the place is getting better and your East is getting worse.

God has blessed Lagos, stop wishing her evil

nothernstar:
Nice one. But is not wise to also develop one in the south south were there is big see. Must it be clustered only in a region? Even though it's nice, but why not spread the development. There is deep sees in porthacourt and calabar yet the federal govt keep lopsiding appointment and development. Why won't there be agitation and anger. The politics of this country is against the south east and south south.

This is what you get when the government puts everything in one place.

What if there is external aggression. Once Lagos is destroyed Nigeria goes to its knees..

Useless planners in a hopeless country...

Write A Letter And Tell Your Governors To Start Working. What You See And Hear In Lagos, Is Owned By The State And Not Federal. He Was Only Their To Look At The Projects

Really...Is this how to get better?

Even at that..don't compare Lagos to the East. Compare Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Ogun with the East...

You Are An Hypocrite. Lagos State Government Is The Owner Of All The Projects Going On In Lagos, And Not The Federal. My Governor Is Working, Tell Yours To Do The Same For Your State. Lmao

Liar...Ask yourself what Lagos will gain when there are many ports already. Tin Can, Apapa Wharf are there...The roads in and out of the ports are hell on earth...and you are building another one in Lekki. Through which roads would the importers move their goods in-land?

Below are pics of Tin Can port and Lekki road...

Most of you don't know your left from your right.

You think posting such pictures will change the fact that your shitthole region is backward ? You keep crying marginalization and at same time making noise you are better
In Abia, remove Umuahia and Aba...every where else is a village with hamlets with a sprinkle of block building here and there

In Imo, take out owerri and you have a shittyyy villages dotting the landscape

In Anambra remove Onitsha, yes only onitsha! Awka is a glorified village not worthy to be call.a local govt that you made state capital

Enugu and Abakalaiki..remove the state capital and all you have are red mud villages

Look at just ogun state and you will count nothing less than 8 huge towns bigger than most of your state capitals
