ABA is 45 minutes drive to PH. There is no difference between these two locations. Owerri is an hours drive to PH no difference. These geographical location was created to cause disunity. And I wonder how SS and SE affects your daily bread.

Of course it has to be business but that business is about to favor a region. Do you have problems with that?

Openbusiness:
Who are they deceiving? Lol! Is it not APM that runs Apapa wharf, and APM is the owner and parent company of Maersk Line? So they just want to control both ends, purely business, not like they want to do south south a favor.

feyiona:
Story is false Maersk is already in onne and we are still in Lagos

Why are you confusing yourself?

After reading this I just smiled, one Nigeria my foot. You are worry they are switching to Port abi because of manufacturing companies over there and the so called increase in haulage, that will affect

But you see nothing wrong for companies, business man from far east and south paid that expensive price to pick up there goods from Lagos. You never complain and suggest that fg should find way to make other port accessible for people in fat distance. Just from his speech alone you understand this one Nigeria is just big scam.

If things had been restructured in Nigeria Lagos won't be congested, because all the 5 ports in Nigeria will be working fine, every thing working fine.

The usual chest beaters are are always happy and welcoming the wrong things.

This company is not going anywhere and on top of that, Lekki Deep Seaport, the best and the largest in West Africa is only 2 years away.


Lagos is still and shall remain the main Port of call in Nigeria and West Africa .

Even Badagry deep seaport is in the horizon.

Beat chest small small o..

Akaegwu:

Maersk exist in both Lagos and Onne. Lagos is the co-operate HQ onne is a branch

joyandfaith:


it cannot come to end. More sea ports are needed to ease congestion in lagos port. lagos port cannot serve 180million nigeria. Development of other ports is good national economy and it will never affect lagos economy in anyway.

Osus are born hateful cowards, they celebrate anything they think brings Yoruba down, they run the Government of Nigeria with the north for several years and they are here crying again. Who God has blessed no man can curse. Yoruba land is ahead of Osuland naturally. International waters, e dey, International boundary e dey, arable agricultural land, e dey, crude oil e dey. Every omoluabi should be grateful to God, despite the ever increasing Osu hatred, we are still waxing stronger.

hammerF:
NOTHING LAST LAGOS DON TRY.


BET WE HAVE OCEAN IN SS.SE

Check your map again no ocean in Osuland

This is clear evidence , that Yoruba people don't want a workable seaport and international airport across Niger bridge... Why are they panicking over ordinary seaport

This is good but the road from Onne to Port Harcourt is a death trap. There is a bridge at Eleme about to cut into two. Also anytime there is movement of equipment on that road, traffic gridlock occurs for hours. Something should be done about that road, if not, goods at Onne will be stranded.

Positivepoint:


Wow shame. But u guys said ur agenda ain't about economic prosperity. How did south south become south east?

Shut up!

Any sort of link between the so called south-south and south-east makes you break out in a sweat! Why is that?

Someone is talking of Onne being a better option for Igbo importers and you’re already showing your insecurities by asking dumb questions!

2sexycom:
igbo states are very close to PH... Imo state for instance shares boundary with Rivers State. That is what he is happy about.

If he is happy, then what level of happiness does he want d people of Rivers to have? Also, Igbo States aren't d only states that share border with Rivers or are close to PH. This is part of what he said "gradually the ball is rolling back to our court". He is just one of those people who always see things thru d eyes of tribalism

SoNature:


GEJ was a terrible weakling

The thing i noticed with GEJ was that he was threading carefully so as not ‘offend’ the sensibilities of the Yoruba and Fulani! All this was because of 2015 elections! We now know with the benefit of hindsight that he was flogging a dead horse!

Welcome to Lekki Port, a multi-purpose, ultra modern deep sea port located in the Lagos Free Trade Zone, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.

If you think a local port in One or any region is about to dethrone Lagos or take away any shipping business, you are sadly mistaken.

Obasanjo was NEVER in charge of Port-Harcourt.

The Government of Rivers State led by
Naval Lt. Commander Afred Papapreye Diete-Spiff was in charge of Port Harcourt from 1967-1975.

You guys like unnecessary propaganda with incurable victim mentality.

meccuno:
Also remember that Obasanjo was in charge of Port Harcourt after the end of cease fire. Also remember that Port Harcourt was the only place where there was an abandoned property saga.

bash8936:



They will soon run back to Lagos by the time Igbo people use scam to spoil their life and SS use kidnapping and hijacking to finish them.

Haba na!! be nice ..a progress to any southern state is a progress for us southerners.I dont know why the south hate one another..no wonder we are easy weapon for the north for use for their kill and divide tactics

You don’t want Lagos to be decongested and for other regions to thrive??

I have maintained that my restructure in Nigeria should be strictly infrastructural in nature. It shall start with the building of Lagos in the defunct eastern region and Abuja in the defunct Midwestern region of Nigeria. If Port Harcourt or Opobo or even Ibaka is elevated to half the level of economical infrastructure found in Lagos, the noise about Lagos will see a sudden death. If the economic infrastructure found in Abuja is situated in Warri or Sapale or Asaba, the issue born-to-rule will disappear and patriotism shall flourish.

Lekki is bound to sink. The area is mostly a reclaimed land. It is not a place for national economic foothold.

Welcome to P H home of peace and hospitality, this is good news, time and nature always have a way of making nonsense some of our ineptitudes. God Pls make this permanent my giving us the wisdom to address all the lapses.

Awol1:
This is just the beginning.

I wish Igboland had link with the Ocean, Lagos would have been forgotten.

that will always remain a wish forever ooo...but never...

Igbo land had link with the Ocean. Opu Obu (Opopo) is a site for deepwater port.

Bukky244:
Everyone from SE/SS must support this and make it work. Anyone who wants the progress of that region must not attack their vessels on the high seas. They have always complained of security issues around that side. Its time to encourage them by showing that the region is safe to do business. Asari should speak to his people.

The so-called SS dudes have been in a long moronic slumber induced by a deceitful neighbor.

2sexycom:
Rivers State can compete with Lagos for real. When Ibaka seaport is completed, damn!....

Where is Blue3k, how far with the Ibaka seaport bro?

I have no interesting updates. I'll tag you if I do.

Zooposki:


You don’t want Lagos to be decongested and also other regions to thrive??

Lekki Deep Seaport will decongest Apapa port, but it's going to be decongestant by another port in Lagos, not by any other port outside Lagos.

Lagos state saw this coming hence initiating another deep seaport to take care of that problem and also to service LFTZ and products from the massive Dangote refinery and fertilizer complex.

Btw, why won't shippers and ancillary services shift to the deepest, the largest deep seaport with the best and modern facilities in West Africa?

This is strictly business, not emotions and sentiments.


Lagos is not sleeping on duty.

redsun:
Lagos is still very much a slum. When i see Lagos on tv in this part world and sometimes, unfortunately with normal people, i do tend to wish the ground will open up and swallow me that I come from a world like that where common sense is not applicable in everyday life. The whole place looks like a piggery and people just go about there businesses like it is normal.

Yesterday there was a documentary on BBC 2 about the unsustainable increase of the world population and Lagos is one of the examples they use to show what happens when people breed without common sense

Onitsha is another example of a city that is groaning under the weight of decay and government neglect.

valarmorghulis:

Oga shut up, kano and kaduna doesn't have port and they are doing great

So is kano and kaduna doing better than Anambra?

Ports in Nigeria are never the charge of governor of a state. Federal government of Nigeria has always being in charge of Nigerian ports. Neither Obasanjo nor Diete-Spiff was in charge of the port in Igweocha.
