alj harem: Sorry dude, check get the facts right. check the ethnicity of each state and history there are igbos from cross river as well ![]() ![]() |
Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by Abagworo(m): 2:05am On Dec 13, 2010 |
I don't think Igbos should be talking about an Igbo seaport because the seaport at Lagos is not Yoruba seaport and PH is not Okrika seaport.The problem with Bayelsa is that FG cannot fund the amount of money required for a seaport at Brass and the accompanying infrastructure.Lagos was successfully built because it had that edge of being a federal capital and secondly the terrain is not as difficult as Bayelsa. |

chyz:Can you please back this up with a reference of some sort? I googled and found nothing. So you are saying some SE state submitted an application for a seaport and the Nigerian Ports Authority denied it? Well, first of all, the deep sea port looks like it will be in Ondo, not Ogun (Ogun is building a FTZ). Second, the more ports the merrier. Ports can be very profitable if done properly, it isn't a matter of "need." And taking a quick glance at a map of Ondo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nigeria_Ondo_State_map.png), and considering the following quote: then it at least seems plausible to me that this will be a profitable endeavor (though not sure how accurate his claim of "longest coastline" is.) Third, Ondo, rather than complaining about marginalization is: [list] [*] Actuallly putting up money, namely N24 billion just for road development [*] Partnering with Ogun State, which has a FTZ of its own that is being developed. [*] Partnering with three major private firms who plan on providing $1 billion in funding (http://www.africanloft.com/africas-first-deep-sea-container-port-proposed-for-nigeria/) [/list] BTW, Lagos sef is not standing still and watching. They are planning a $6 billion deep seaport themselves in Lekki (http://en.portnews.ru/news/13362/). Again, the federal government is not the one putting up the money for this, it will be done by private investors. |

Can you please back this up with a reference of some sort? I googled and found nothing. So you are saying some SE state submitted an application for a seaport and the Nigerian Ports Authority denied it?Will do. I never said it was the SE or SS state that said they would do that.Frankly they are not fairly allocated revenue by the FG.However, There were rich individuals who volunteered but weren't allowed. Well, first of all, the deep sea port looks like it will be in Ondo, not Ogun (Ogun is building a FTZ).I guess you didn't catch the article. It said clearly "Ogun State" you should even search nairaland for it. The more ports the merrier right? Did you just say the more ports the less profitable?
All of what you just listed above can be attributed to the revenue lagos has accumulated due to the lack of a sea port in the areas i stated earlier. Also, lagos has already gotten that jump start by having a sea port. I would be no difference if PH was granted that a long time ago. It would have those kinds of inversters as well.So there is nothing spectacular about whats happening to lagos and what is done by its people. |

Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by DapoBear(m): 3:37am On Dec 13, 2010 |
chyz:Basis for this being true for non-oil producing states? Reference? Yeah, I got confused because I saw Ondo was also developing one. A bit weird that both are developing separate ports. I'm a bit confused. Numerous small, inland ports which can only be reached by river and which are not suitable for large ships will not be able to compete, yes. If they want to build such ports, fine, it is a free country. I just don't it is the best use of their resources. Naw, PH is again on the river rather than the sea. |
Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by chyz(m): 4:06am On Dec 13, 2010 |
DapoBear:I'm not exctly getting your question. I myself wasn't talking about inland ports. Naw, PH is again on the river rather than the sea. My bad, meant Rivers not PH parse( all though its not out of the question). The same goes for Akwa Ibom. |
Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by DapoBear(m): 4:10am On Dec 13, 2010 |
You claim that the SS and SE states are not fairly being allocated revenue. I can agree with this being true of the oil-producing states, but don't agree that this is true for non-oil states. chyz:You should ask the British then why they chose Lagos as their primary port. I still don't think this is some sort of discrimination thing. Again, if Rivers or Awka Ibom want a seaport, they should apply for one and use their own money (or that of investors they find) to build it. Just like we in the West are doing. EDIT: clarity |

Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by chyz(m): 4:29am On Dec 13, 2010 |
DapoBear: The SE geo-political zone is not fairly allocated revenue. Also, as i goes for non-oil producing states , oil is not they only resource that nigeria uses for revenue so by all means unfair allocation does not exclude them. You should ask the British then why they chose Lagos as their primary port. I still don't think this is some sort of discrimination thing. Never said there was anything wrong with Lagos being the primary port.That is besides the point,it is not a problem. YOU in the west are not doing anything different from what THEY are doing so don't make it seem as the YOU and the west are being any more industrious as THEY in the SS/SE are doing. We both know and this is no secret, even numerous Ghanaians(outsiders) have come on here to confirm it, that nigeria discriminates based on ethnicity.Getting the "ok" to complete or begin a task in nigeria is not like doing so in the U.S, Im sure you know that. Which is the reason more that the 2011 presidential election is signified "The begining of the end of nigeria". |

Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by DapoBear(m): 5:02am On Dec 13, 2010 |
chyz:What is your basis for saying this? The falsified population figures, which we all know are incorrect? If so, I won't disagree what that. But then the issue seems to be getting correct population figures, not "unfair revenue allocation." Under the officially accepted numbers, the revenue is fair, is it not? You still have not documented any SE states by the sea applying to open up a seaport and being denied. When did this happen? Under which administration? Which state? What was the proposed site? Even earlier in this thread, people were complaining about the federal government somehow suppressing your existing (riverside) ports. I think I've demonstrated pretty clearly why this is not the case (though if someone can show goods are taxed higher in the East than in the West, I'll agree that that is discrimination.) But let us assume for the sake of argument that you are correct, that the Nigerian government discriminates against the SE and favors the Yoruba and the SW. If so, then you have nothing to lose by removing your support of the PDP or any centralist governments. After all, it appears that your support has bought you nothing, right? While our staunch opposition to Abuja and the federal government somehow has led to us being favored! ![]() |

DapoBear:The irony Dapo, you are funny with the "document" thing. try any search engine be it google or yahoo,even msn.your choice.you cannot tell me you can find it.Pretty lame. Let's see you show the documents saying why they(FG) have not build the sea ports or done see it deemed fit.All of the detail will be really appreciated. Even earlier in this thread, people were complaining about the federal government somehow suppressing your existing (riverside) ports. I think I've demonstrated pretty clearly why this is not the case (though if someone can show goods are taxed higher in the East than in the West, I'll agree that that is discrimination.) Im still trying to figure out where i said the Yoruba were being favored. |
Re: Guys, What Happened To Tinapa! by DapoBear(m): 5:22am On Dec 13, 2010 |
chyz:There is no irony. I agree that the census figures in this country are false. And if correct ones are produced, then revenue needs to be adjusted accordingly in the country. But I think you see how these are two distinct issues, yes? If for (B) to happen, (A) must happen first, then it seems to me that one needs to focus on bringing about (A) before tackling (B). So is the issue that the FG has not built a seaport or that they are preventing you from building one yourself? These are two separate things. I googled for the second and couldn't find any information. If anyone has a reference or concrete information (i.e., names, dates, places), then please provide it. Might not be you specifically who has said it, but several in this thread have made it out to be that way, if only by insinuation. |
