This news sweet me pass morning wine. I never knew I would say this but nice one from Buhari

I remember one thread a long time ago when some jambites were arguing with me that ports in the East were naturally disadvantaged. I told these clowns that if you dredge them, repair the access roads and police the waters effectively there is no reason why shippers will not flock there. Even without those being done the foreign shippers have had enough and are going anyway.

Fulani won't kill person with politics

You seem not to understand basic economics! It's a blessing for both the SE and SS.
The present south south states except delta and edo are easterners. Being a easterner do not necessarily mean you are Igbo.
Free your heart from hate.

Staro:
Don't be too excited bro, this is Nigeria.
Many policies especially under this Buhari simply end as news, nothing happens afterwards.

So, wait until you start seeing ships queueing to berth

Someone that has 54 thousand followers faked ur username.

NGpatriot:
List the policies the end as news under this government.

NGpatriot:
Unfortunately for you and the people peddling that narratives and false association, SS folks don't label themselves Easterners and they vigorously reject being called Easterners or igbo..

Only igbo people peddle that association and there's a reason why they refer to themselves as SS and not SE or Easterners.

Stop forcing labels, flawed and unwanted identity on people.

River Niger can't take vessels

Anambralstson:
River Niger can take bigger vessels if dredge, but what they are planning for now is transloading from bigger vessel to container barges via warri port, but if Nigeria cease to exist North and East might agree to dredge River Niger or east might dredge their own section which is more closer to ocean


Below are the kind of container barges that will be calling in Onitsha port and Baro port for now, they carry large number of containers

President2031:
m

Empty vessel.

You have made NO point!

We Niger deltans got tired, made complains, we were being marginalized by you igbos in government during Eastern region and finally Gowon divided the fraudulent Eastern region and Western region. Created old Rivers state and Bender state.

You immediately declared Biafra and included we Niger deltans who just got freedom from your Igbo dominated Eastern region, we rejected you people and blocked Port harcourt sea port and you all started dying of hunger.

Now you’re forming we are Easterners with us?? You think we are fools?

How many times have the Yorubas claim Delta and Edo? Have you ever seen them including these two state in their Western issues? Can’t you see how civilized they are?


It is only you igbos with backward reasoning that still think this is 1960s with your Eastern region none sense.

We are have grown above such trick, how can we be Easterners when we rejected Eastern region and requested for our own state old River state made up of Cross rivers,Akwa ibom, Rivers, and Bayelsa? Can’t you see the difference is clear?

Are you tired of being Easterners??

kayfra:
Nice wishlist bro

Nice wishlist bro

NewsMuncher:
Onne, Port Harcourt, Calabar and Warri are all in that South South. When they call them eastern ports, people like Anambrastson start getting veey excited like the ports are in the south east.

If a Biafra comes like many of you easterners deeply desire, hope you know you will not have even one of these ports in your region??

wwwmaster:
My friend Cross River is SouthEast of Nigeria, probably the 'SouthEastmost' part of Nigeria.
The person you're disagreeing with is a highly educated manager of a world-class maritime company who probably knows his cardinal points not a 22 iq bloke like you.

President2031:
Why will you say the present south South states are easterners? Is your head correct? So because some part of the south South were part of Eastern region makes them easterners?

Abeg who created Eastern region? Is Eastern region a tribe or what? Was it not created by the Nigerian government the same way the South South today is created by the Nigerian government?

Are you igbos tired of the East? We rejected Biafra and you want to bring Eastern region nonsense created by Nigerian govt?

Listen:

South West: Westerners
South East: Easterners
South South: Southerners/Niger deltans

Take this correct mr man.

CeterisXVII:
Was it Cross River people that told you to classify their area as Southeastmost part of Nigeria? They are far wiser now, than the way they were in 1967, o.....mbok.

wwwmaster:
Here we go!
This one is likely of 13 IQ. Not surprised that empty heads here don't know how to read cardinal points, not a bit!

engrchykae:
use your tongue to count your teeth.
If the southwest continue talking tough at the fulanis,more of these are coming

Anambralstson:
Not all Igbos hate president Buhari, same with your tribe not all your tribesmen like PMB.

That map makes more sense with all the ethnic groups having their own state.There's no reason to have 36 states . Whatever internal squabbles existed should have been resolved within those states ,not create new states.
On another note , why must Onitsha or Igboland have seaport? You don't need a seaport to develop. Inland states and cities in North America and landlocked countries in Europe simply have dry port and connect through freight train .Botswana is a landlocked but developed country with dry port . That requires diplomacy with neighbors , not the current antagonistic Igbo behavior towards everyone .
The reality is Igboland is landlocked and the best option is simply a dry port with freight train connecting either to Calabar or Onne Seaport.
It would cost over $50 billion dollars to dredge the river Niger from Atlantic ocean to Onitsha, and it would cost $30 Billion dollars to dredge from atlantic to Abia state. Where will that money come from ? Even so,those rivers are territorial waters and would require permission from those states.
It cost $1.5 Billion dollars to build a seaport and $1 Billion to build a freight train from Calabar or Onne Seaport to Onitsha. Which option makes more sense ? Even so,those rivers are territorial waters and would require permission from those states.


P.S There's already international airport at Enugu . No one stops anyone from marketing and directing international flights there ,and besides the funds for renovation were embezzled by Stella Oduah and other Anambra politicians. Now Anambra wants to build an interrnational Airport instead of upgrading and using only Enugu Airport or even Asaba International Airport. That just shows how dumb and divided Igbos are. Anambra opposes Imo state for president ,Abia opposes Ebonyi for president, Enugu opposes Anambra for president. The hausa/Fulani and others chose only one candidate. Don't blame anyone .

JUGGERNAUT101:
That is only a figment of the imagination of whoever conceived such dumb idea. It will never be a reality .
I'm not sure if some of you understand Geography. You think the British were dumb when they built freight train to transport goods to the coastal seaports?

JUGGERNAUT101:
That is only a figment of the imagination of whoever conceived such dumb idea. It will never be a reality . The Baro was only used to ferry groundnut and cotton within short distance in the north.
I'm not sure if some of you understand Geography. You think the British were dumb when they built freight train to transport goods from north and midwest to the coastal seaports?
You should ask the FG why, not me . Perhaps,it was an tribalistic idea in case of eventuality of Nigeria's break up. But I can assure you the seaport will never be a reality. There are many reasons why ,but the first one is Nigeria does not have the funds to dredge even from Atlantic to Abia state .
