I told you guys that they have zero interests in developing eastern ports..

But everything has its time. When the time for eastern ports come, it will happen and agbadorians will feel it..

You had GEJ for 6 years.

Irony1:
Oga stop trying to be smart. Tincan and Apapa were expanded after the war. Why has Eastern ports been left the way they were during colonial times that they cannot have Ships that Apapa and Tincan handle. Leave talking about state governments I am talking about FG's responsibility, why don't they want to expand the Eastern ports. Ibadan or any other deep port is the state initiative but before now why is FG playing lip service to Eastern ports?

Again on the size saying that they are small is a blatant lie. I grew up seeing my mother work in NPA I have always been to Tincan and Apapa ports. Those ports are large they are not small, if you are talking about the road it is understandable, but not the size of the port. The Eastern ports have been the way they are right from colonial times and were not expanded like Apapa was expanded after the war. That one is on FG, and this is the issue, why is FG not trying to revamp and expand the Eastern ports?

The FG should not build new ports in any region in this modern era. Why should the FG expand the old ports that can only manage smaller vessels? Shipping has been transformed to using larger vessels, hence the need to build new deep-sea ports.

Please contact your governors in the SS/SE and leave Lagos out of your victim blaming culture

The SE/SS now approves building a deep sea port in the SE/SS

In the modern era, Tin Can Island is a small port and can only dock smaller vessel.

The key difference between Tin Can Island Port and Lekki Port is that Lekki Port is a newer, deeper-water "deep sea port" designed to handle larger vessels, while Tin Can Island Port is an older, more established port with limitations on the size of ships it can accommodate, both located in Lagos, Nigeria; essentially, Lekki Port is considered a more modern and advanced facility compared to Tin Can Island Port.

The distance from the Apapa Port to the Atlantic Ocean is 7.68 km (4.15 nautical miles). Tincan Island is located 11.67 km (6.3 nautical miles) from the Atlantic Ocean. The newly constructed Lekki Deep Sea Port is the one closest to the Atlantic Ocean in Lagos, with a distance of 3.42 km (1.85 nautical miles)

AFD extols progress on Lagos transport interchange hubs project

The Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA) has begun stakeholders’ engagement meetings as a precursor to scoping activities for the proposed Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Purple Line project.

A team of officials from LAMATA, yesterday, visited Ikeja and Agege local councils, as well as Ojodu Local Council Development Area (LCDA) to initiate discussions with local stakeholders.

Council officials, during the visit, expressed their support for the project. Chairman of Ikeja Local Council, Dr Balogun Mojeed, affirmed his commitment to the project, emphasising its potential to improve the lives of Lagos residents and contribute to the city’s development as a smart city.

In Agege, Rasheed Adaranijo, who represented the council chairman, Kola Egunjobi, assured the LAMATA team of the council’s readiness to support the initiative.

Irony1:
The issue here is what is governement doing to revamp and expand the ports in the east? That is not the duty of state government. They expanded Apapa and Tincan. The least they should do is to expland Eastern Ports

You are clutching at straws and know the truth.

Tin Can Island Port and Apapa Port have not been expanded since Lagos stopped being an FCT in 1991. This is one reason why Lekki Port was built and Badagary Port is under planning.

TinCan and Apapa ports are too small, and the surrounding environment is congested, so larger ships cannot dock.

This is one of the reasons why the federal government has approved the construction of new ports across the country, including three deep sea ports in th SS/SE. The problem is that SE/SS governors will instead use their resources to support and Tincan Island.

Hold your state governor and entrepreneur to account and stop blaming Lagosian for SS/SE government incompetence. .

A large ship cannot dock at Tin Can Island because the port's infrastructure, including the depth of the water and the size of the berths, are not designed to accommodate very large vessels; essentially, Tin Can Island is a smaller port with limitations on the size of ships it can handle.
Key points about Tin Can Island:
Limited capacity:
Due to its size and design, Tin Can Island is primarily suited for smaller to medium-sized ships, not large container ships or bulk carriers.
Water depth:
The water depth at the port may not be sufficient for large ships to safely navigate and dock.
Berth size:
The docking areas (berths) on Tin Can Island may not be long enough or wide enough to accommodate larger vessels.
What happens when a large ship needs to unload cargo at a port like Tin Can Island?

You people keep dancing around the issue. Even Buhari approved ports too on audio and nothing happened.

Buhari Approved the Lekki Port, but it was the private sector that the Fashola government led. What are the SS government doing to build ports in their region beyond building skyscrapers in Lagos?

The Nigerian government is not going to build new ports in the SS or SE, which is the state government's responsibility and private investors' responsibility.

Botragelad:
This is the most effective solution available right now. They don’t belong there, they’re occupiers. Those who call themselves Palestinians are essentially Arabs from places like Jordan, Egypt, and other regions, trying to illegitimately claim land that isn’t theirs. Once they leave Gaza, they can live well in other Islamic countries, which, despite encouraging their acts of terrorism, refuse to take them in. Lol.

These Islamists could have lived in peace if they hadn’t attacked on October 7. Was that attack on Israel worth it, or was it a massive mistake they’ll regret forever? 😂😂 The Hamas kids and Palestinians can keep dancing around in their uniforms, but eventually, they’ll be sent back to where they truly belong or they can keep suffering.

This should be a clear lesson to anyone coward enough to attack Israel and kidnap the citizens. You and everyone close to you who supported and cheered you on will be wiped out, your cities leveled, and the land taken as a trophy.



Wake up folks, Palestine doesn’t exist, and it never will.
I guess ruins and destruction are what Islamists call “victory.” 😂
Am yisrael chai🇮🇱!

Why not just hand Gaza back to Egypt and let Gaza be Egypt's responsibility

The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian military rule from 1949 to 1956 and again from 1957 to 1967. From the beginning, the area's chief economic and social problem was the presence of large numbers of Palestinian Arab refugees living in extreme poverty in squalid camps.

Why not just hand Gaza back to Egypt and let Gaza be Egypt's responsibility

Remind me who is the president now?

GEJ was president for 6 years and didn't approve a single port in the SS/SE

Tinubu has approve the development of three ports in the SS/SE

The federal government has already approved the development of a deep sea port in Calabar and Akwa Ibom and expanded the port in Onitsha and Warri. I know you are aware of the approval, yet Igbos and SS are always looking for excuses to blame lagos for their hopelessness.

Nigeria’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the Ibom deep sea port plan, paving the way for the project to move forward.


The Federal Government has endorsed the Bakassi Deep Seaport Integrated Project.

The project is an infrastructural initiative that will transform Nigeria’s maritime sector and boost the economy.

The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, announced the endorsement at a stakeholders’ engagement organised by the Cross River State government in Calabar, the state capital.
The Rivers State Monorail, also known as Rivers Monorail and occasionally as Port Harcourt Monorail, is a partially built monorail urban transportation project in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Three stations and connecting guideway of Phase 1a were constructed and one vehicle was delivered but the line never went into operation and development stopped in 2016.

The project was announced in 2011 and construction commenced in 2012. As of September 2017 construction has only been partially completed despite $400 million having been spent[1] and the project is at a standstill.[2] Some reports says the project will never be completed.[3] As of 2021 news reports indicate the project has been abandoned.[

Lanruze:
It's better to note that state cannot independently build and operate a seaport with the FG approval.


Your people are hopeless and jealous; Lagos has started and completed two metro lines and is now working on its third. Port Harcourt has wasted $400 million.

Lagos state has completed the Lekki Deep Seaport and is now working on the Badagary Deep Seaport. Akwa Ibom, Delta State and Cross River haven't even started looking for private investors; instead, they are building skyscrapers in Lagos...hopeless people.

If you intend to introduce free education in Lagos, then it has to be a nationwide project or else the Lagos population will increase 10-fold due to internaI migration.

Obiedun:
Before Islam, the nomadic tribes inhabiting the Arabian peninsula worshiped idols. These tribes frequently fought with one another. Each tribe had its own customs governing marriage, hospitality, and revenge. Crimes against persons were answered with personal retribution or were sometimes resolved by an arbitrator. Muhammad introduced a new religion into this chaotic Arab world. Islam affirmed only one true God. It demanded that believers obey God’s will and laws.

The Koran sets down basic standards of human conduct, but does not provide a detailed law code. Only a few verses deal with legal matters. During his lifetime, Muhammad helped clarify the law by interpreting provisions in the Koran and acting as a judge in legal cases. Thus, Islamic law, the Sharia, became an integral part of the Muslim religion.

Following Muhammad’s death in A.D. 632, companions of Muhammad ruled Arabia for about 30 years. These political-religious rulers, called caliphs (KAY liff), continued to develop Islamic law with their own pronouncements and decisions. The first caliphs also conquered territories outside Arabia including Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Persia, and Egypt. As a result, elements of Jewish, Greek, Roman, Persian, and Christian church law also influenced the development of the Sharia.

Islamic law grew along with the expanding Muslim Empire. The Umayyad dynasty caliphs, who took control of the empire in 661, extended Islam into India, Northwest Africa, and Spain. The Umayyads appointed Islamic judges, kadis, to decide cases involving Muslims. (Non-Muslims kept their own legal system.) Knowledgeable about the Koran and the teachings of Muhammad, kadis decided cases in all areas of the law.

Following a period of revolts and civil war, the Umayyads were overthrown in 750 and replaced by the Abbasid dynasty. During the 500-year rule of the Abbasids, the Sharia reached its full development.

You just confirmed that Sharia was used to conquer the Middle East and North Africa, where there is not one single democratic government outside Israel.

If Jakande’s free education had issues, why did Tinubu and his successors fail to fix them in making basic education free for all children, in their 25 years of so much increased revenue

Free quality education in Lagos is impossible because most of Lagos's population is very recent. Lagos's population in 1983 was less than 5 million today, estimated to be 22 million.

What is Lagos state budget, and how much will be required to invest in free education? We have to be realistic about what is possible.

REVISITING SOME OF THE LATEEF JAKANDE'S GOVERNMENT ACHIEVEMENTS FROM OCTOBER 1979 TO DECEMBER 1983 (FOUR YEARS AND 3 MONTHS) IN LAGOS STATE

Free education with no teachers or habitable classroom.

Jakande's Free education policy was noble and ambitious, but the truth is, it was a failure. The state government didn't have the personnel or resources to support a wide-scale program. Senior Teachers of established schools were relocated to become head teachers of new schools and the standard collapsed significantly.

Jakande, schools have left the Christian and Muslim schools in the control of the Xtain and Muslim establishments and built the new schools to complement the old school network. The likes of CMS, St Finbaars, St Gregory, Jubril Martin, and Ansar-ud-Deen schools were very well-run schools and didn't need government control beyond following the standard education curriculum.

Kdon2:
What outstanding thing has sharia done differently in places where it operates?

Because the Aare Kurunmi Kakanfo is well aware that the leaders of the Sharia institutions will be Fulani's Muslims, we are well mindful that Fulani Imans lead all mosques.

The heads of traditional institutions in Northern Nigeria, such as the Sultan and Emir, are Fulani's. Yet 35 years of Sharia law has more than impoverished Northern Nigeria rather than developed them.
