GBTYO:
The main opposition to developing a sea port in the southeast coastline and Niger delta is squarely hinged on both the north and the west.

omonnakoda:

[s]You are ignorant.For one even if another port is to be built Ibom or Bomi is not the most competitive place in Nigeria.
Lagos has been a long fought over point for centuries. Even in the SW Why have they not built another port in Ogun or Ondo Not to talk of Rivers or Bayelsa. Go and study your Geography well. The West Africa Coast line from Ghana through to Badagry to Lekki is a sweet evacuation line. After that as yu approach Ijebu Waterside you start to enter mangrove or Delta waterways and that continues further east. As you go east entering the Delta it becomes more difficult for bigger vessels to berth. There are two risks in the delta Large vessels will get bogged down or robbed by pirates as they ply more INLAND waterways. Yes some will say DREDGE but it is costly, often with unpredictable environmental consequences like flooding surrounding communities and dredging is not a PERMANENT solution. It will require regular RE-.
Quality work is NOT cheap

The other issue is evacuation. Even Lagos today has an evacuation problem . You need infrastructure to evacuate; roads and rail and they cost money too. In an area full of disgruntled militants you also have to factor in a security consideration
there are ports in PH and Onne why are they not being used. It is easy to talk but for those of us that have actually imported we know that few if any shippers are willing to ship anywhere but Lagos.Why It is cheaper .
The Nose will always be jealous of the mouth and say the body can feed through me, this is true if you use a nasogastric tube.In fact medically you can feed through the RECTUM but easiest and best is the mouth it has NO RIVAL.
Lagos is what it is because its coastline is different from EVERY other place in Nigeria including Ogun state its Nearest rival oterwise the logical place for a new SW port would be Ogun not Lekki since then you would be evacuating to Sagamu or Ore and thence onto the express. But Ogun Water side will require dredging and even with that many shippers just WON'T RISK IT. Their insurers will forbid it at least until the security situation in Nigeria changes.
So I reckon haters gonna be hating for a long tym

Lol. Calm down dude. Each time we read about those followers shooting
and killing themselves, we try to rain curses on them...

Seriously, let's just make our points clear and leave abuses out of it.

It's not worth it. For those abusing you or calling you names, maybe
they do not know what it means to call people names behind computer!

So, once again, calm down. Let's debate and talk senses. You can't
win me with your replies but trust me, I can win your heart with mine.

Like a told a buddy yesterday , Tompolo and Dokubo are threatening the peace of a whole country , Dokubo is saying SS,S.E people are the rightful owner of Nigeria's Crude , Saying Niger Deltans will fight , for their right , I do not know if its Ogogoro or weed talk , but like i said to my friend, These so called Igbo leaders and even presidency is aware of this statements , and non of them has come out to say Dokubo or Tompolo is not representing the Igbo Nation
If push comes to shove , Yorubas will team up with Hausas again blast their whole states and cities to smithereens , and maybe their bodies will yeild more petroleum , Thus the repetition of history over and over again The few problem that worries me , A lot of innocent souls will be lost, those eediots making threats will run to Benin republic where they have their investments and democracy might be lost
