The first one happened and 500 murdered and mass buried, nothing happen, the world looked on in silence.


Today, it is 347 that is murdered.


Slowly, they are commiting genocide against the shite muslims in Nigeria.


Slowly, they are attempting to wipe out Shite muslims.


Is this change?

Obiagelli:
How is the ibaka port going to be different from the onne port?

Can u imagine that SS/SE have no deep seaport and people are talking railway? The world is wicked.

PRXPERT:
if you look clearly! the project is a pure deceitful! The people who conspired to make this project to look this way are southwestern politicians!! the project should be equally important to lagos nd calabar and not calabar alone!!! The sea port is what ss need and not this headless project!! I tell you, what APC led government are doing is pure conspiracy! to shift attention and confuse the masses... open your eyes... SW. can never support sea port, go and look up their theories on Ibaka sea port, compare that to this Railway....

Thank you valid point. Y is the project more important to lagos than calabar? That is a very important question.

OgbeifunErom:
IPOB, your vituperation means NOTHING to me

Nigeria will not be held to ransom because of a group of degenerates and imbeciles

IPOB are vile and should be treated like Boko Haram. I hope you can see that is where the government policy is going

IPOB= Boko Haram

As a yoruba man that u are speak about your community. I will respect u more.

hahahahahahahaha!



We know the Daura Secret Service are trying to manufacture lies ahead of Buhari and Buratai appearance in the ICC Hague for War crimes and Crimes against humanity.



Nice try!

aresa:
See ignorance. Road accidents kill more people than rail? Rail accident is very very rare..

Who told u that? We dont need that project, we need deep seaport period.


If southwest need deep seaport will dey support railway to calabar? No!


They do that because lagos alone have about four deep seaport or more, this exclude those under construction.

obailala:
I rest my case. You win bro... your own case is special.

U know get case. leave matter for mathias

obailala:
Oh! obviously in your head, a high speed rail connecting the coastal cities is synonymous with APC and Buhari so therefore, it must be opposed?

Sorry boy, you have once again exposed your stark ignorance and contrary to your delusion, your category of human reasoning doesn't represent up to 1% of the entire SS or SE.

Dude dont destroy our sea front with rail track that will kill people in accident. Road accident is enough.

We need Deep Seaport, period.

The surest and fastest way for Buhari and APC to take SS/SE is construction of a mega Deep Seaport smack in Rivers, Port Harcourt.

or the Obuaku deep seaport in Abia via land reclamation and link bridge.


or Ibaka deep seaport in Akwa Ibom


or Onne upgraded to a mega deep seaport


Game changer!


2019 opinions split!


Even me a devout Buhari hater will happily vote for him and shout sai baba!


The money we are talking about here for construction is our oil money. So why not?

obailala:
Who is we?... No offence, but you are only expressing a shocking case of utter ignorance.

Go to the street, the people i represent(my constituency) will express the same sentiment.

Or do u want us to repeat it live as we did in the last elections in those regions.

obailala:
For any educated person to possibly question the economic relevance of having a robust transport system, it speaks volumes of such a person's intellectual capacity. Put your tribal bigotry/hatred/distrust aside, put political differences aside, put your election loss trauma aside, then you will realise how pathetically empty and ridiculous these your statements are.

We are only demanding wat we lack and need. We are pursuing our Economic interest as u are doing and have done.

No need to turn this debate on economics into tribal war.

omoharry:
NICE ONE.

U would say that wont u? Ur not from SS/SE but forget that a deep seaport will also serve the North Central and North by extension.

kayfra:
First thing you should do before opening a thread about the economic relevance of ports is to ask your self the level utilization of existing ports in SS before asking for yet another port that will be unused. Address the usage of existing ports before moving with a white elephant project.

There are no deep seaport in SS/SE. The SS/SE has the largest sea front in Nigeria and should host a deep seaport in Port Harcourt. It wil be built by Federal Government with the region oil money.

kayfra:
Myopic thinking.

How about you do something with the existing ports in that region like Onne rather than asking for an idea full of folly. When you get to secure your waterways, maybe shipping insurance prices will just be low enough for shippers to reconsider plying that area.

You don't have a clue of the benefits of intermodal transportation in an economy and you can't decipher why another port in a dangerous area is a bad idea? Smh

Very good that u raised that point. U have to understand that their are no deep seaport in the whole SS/SE.

Wat u have in Onne is nothing more than a Riverport in terms of capacity and machinery.

How can two regions with the largest access to sea front not have a Deep Seaport?

Yet u wonder Y our economy and currency are stagnating.

kayfra:
You don't have sufficient cognition to make any meaningful contribution beyond what tribalism has enslaved you to become.

We are discussing economic interest, let us not turn it into tribal war. Grow up!

Olabestonic001:
Did you factor in the miltants palaver?

When u want to build a railway did u factor militant palaver?

VivianUdeogu:
Continue living in Cloud Cuckoo

Dreams! Vision is an invaluable asset. Truily a beautiful thing. Not everybody have it.

obailala:
Speak for yourself man. SE and SS needs the railway as well as the seaport. As much as efforts are being made to build this all important railway, efforts should also be made to revive the seaports in PH, Warri and Calabar. But your position that a high speed railway connecting the entire SE/SS region is 'useless,' no reasoning could be more pathetic.

Efforts are being made presently by the Cross Rivers government to develop a seaport with private investors; the Lagos government is also doing same for a seaport at Lekki, so it is possible for power blocks in the SE to pull brains and resources together to achieve a seaport close to Aba. Recently the transport minister raised a pertinent question pertaining to why seaports in the Niger delta aren't viable any more. He promises to look into that and whether he does succeed in that aspect or not, it does not change the fact that the coastal railway which links all the southern major cities and some south-eastern cities is a very economically important project. Your lack of understanding on this (which is glaringly fuelled by your prejudice for any project that links Nigeria up) cannot change the importance of this project.

The coastal rail way will destroy our sea front view.

It is a useless idea that can never generate foreign income and increase our foreign reserve.

However, wen tribalism leave Nigerians alone, feel free to construct a deep seaport and see Nigeria Economy grow.

Lagos is over crowded, let us not wait until we massacre each other on the street of Lagos.

Yoruba greed will ultimately lead to dat, as our collective wealth continues to be diverted to Lagos.

VivianUdeogu:
there you go again. Is the railway line that the federal government wants to build not a federal project? Are you not the one that say you dont want a railway project? The federal government is partnering with the Cross Rivers state government to build the Bakassi Deep Seaport, what attempt have our own SE Governors made to build us a Seaport. As i have said earlier, constructing a seaport is not feasible in the SE that is the bitter truth

Are u an Engineer? Who told u deep seaport construction is not feasible in SE?


Do u know Abia has direct access to the sea?

What stops us from taking a bridge out into the sea and construct a deep seaport after land reclamation?


This is an option for the Federal Government.

slimfit1:
Train is safer and faster trust me if they get it right tgat is.

Wat value have all the train constructed by GEJ added to the Economy and country? Did we not vote out GEJ despite his hard work?


Honestly, right now SS/SE urgently need Deep seaport in Port Harcourt, Abia or Akwa Ibom.


Just one major Federal Deep Seaport.

Maser:
Thanks for engaging that little boy who knows nothing.

How can any sane person reject such a laudable project. They see everything Buhari tries to do for our people as wrong. Hate can drive people crazy.

Echi ha asi n'onweghi ihe Buhari mere anyi. These same silly little boys are the ones who will come out and defend lgbo politicians who receive Federal contracts on behalf of our people and siphon the money without anything on ground. If we desperately need a seaport, why can't our Governors take the initiative like Ayade & Akwa Ibom is doing?

A seaport is under federal list not state governors.

People want to talk but have very little idea.

Will the federal governmnet ever approve such for SE?

BEST WAY FORWARD IS FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUCH TO CONSTRUCT IT.

Here dey come flooding in, SW ADVICE CREW.

VivianUdeogu:
Another disturbing traits common to my brothers- always refering to everybody as yoruba.
We also need to stop lumping the SS together. Is cross river state not in the SS? Is Prof Ben Ayade not currently building the Bakassi Deep Sea Port in Cross River. If the Cross River state Government can attempt to build a seaport for themself what stops our Governors in the south east too? If the Lagos sate Government can attratct Foreign Investors(dangote) to build a seaport for them, what stops our Governors from attaracting investors to Alaigbo that would also help us build a seaport based on a PPP? Dont we have enough billionares in Igboland that can single handedly build a seaport - Arthur Eze, Ifeany Ubah, Orji Kalu, Ibeto etc. Would we just continue to whine and blame others while we can determine our own fate by ourselves instead of the FG

Am not your brother Oooo! I dont know who u are. This is a faceless site and moniker dont mean anything.


SS/SE deserve their fair share of Federal project. Our oil money is not all for Northern project and Lagos. I repeat.


U take out loan in our oil name and spend all the money without including us, is that good?

LadyExcellency:
What is the need of second Niger bridge and the supposed coastal railway without a deep sea in the region?

It is all about one way traffic, capital flight, unbalanced trade and economics where Western region develops at the detriment of their Eastern counterpart.

Thank u for that contribution. The second niger bridge will lessen the burden on the Niger Bridge.


The railway project has no economic benefit to the SS/SE, it will not add anything to the GDP of Nigeria.


A deepseaport will not only provide employment but a source of earning foreign currency through trade and commerce.


The government should invest wisely.

DaBullIT:
Why are you people always complaining ??


The Daura certificateless gworo chewing Dullard is trying to give you a rail , in his first Budget, less than a year of being sworn in


The rail will connect your states , which means there will be several stops and stations , warehouses and stuffs, that's employment

It'll be cheaper to move your containers and goods anywhere in any part of the country that's convenience

Everything Buhari has done so far is literally to show Ibos he's for everybody

But now again they want seaport


Doctor of Zoology , Son of the soil , Ebele jonathan spent 6 years there , he did not give you a sea port


He did not give you Niger Bridge

He signed $20B deal to build refinery in your region, but nothing came out of it


However every opportunity you get , You rain curses and insults on Buhari


I am just saying

htwoow

The yoruba man burden, always giving advice that is not requested.


We no want railway, we want deep seaport.

VivianUdeogu:
Stop deceiving yourself kiddo. The SE is landlocked, we dont have to be be ashmed about that. Dangote is building a seaport in Lagos, Prof Ben Ayade is building a seaport in Cross river. If our region has access to the sea, what has stopped our governors from embarking on joint regional projects to construct a port or better still invite a private consortium for that pourpose and build it with a PPP. The true of the matter is simple - SE is landlocked

The yoruba man burden. Always giving advice that was not requested.

We are Nigerians and the Federal Government should make sure that the SS/SE are carried along.

Our resources should not be used for the North alone and Lagos.

Projects should be shared equally.

SS/SE is over due for a deep seaport, jokes apart.

idensko:
60B is more than enough to make PH and CALABAR A MAJOR COMMODITY SEAPORT.

BUT MORE WILL BE NEEDED TO BRING PORT TO ABIA STATE.

THE GOVERNEMENT OF SE REGION SHOULD PUT dre differences aside and invest heavily on this project, it will not only create massive employment but will also

Increase IGR of the state which amount to more infrastructural developments.

Ur head is correct. I love the way u reason.

chriskosherbal:
At least let's appreciate one thing at a time.

What is their to appreciate in a train line? We dont need it, we have roads.

If the Federal government want to improve Nigeria Economy, they should bring deep seaport to either port harcourt or Abia.

Alternatively, channel the fund to suppoprt Ibaka deep seaport construction in Akwa Ibom.

With 60B A DEEP Seaport can be built in Port Harcourt.

Abia deep seaport would require land reclamation from the sea and bridges.

This is the only project that can add value to Nigeria GDP

slimfit1:
We need a fiery or both or something as well.

If u ask me the train is a very useless idea with no economic benefit besides aiding mass migration.

SS/SE dont need dat right now as we build our region.

VivianUdeogu:
Prof Ben Ayade is currently constructing a deep seapor in Cross Rivers state. PMB was there few months ago for the ground breaking ceremony. SE cannot have a seaport. SE is landlocked

Dude speak for yourself. Abia has access to the sea via the blue river.

All we actually need is land reclamation from the Sea and we build a seaport connected by a bridge to Abia and the whole SE.


We dont need any useless train carrying our future to Lagos. We want to build our region.

The money will be better spent on Ibaka deep seaport.

We need a deep Seaport in SS/SE period.
