A Functioning Seaport And Economic/technological Revolution In The SE by Nobody: 10:27am On May 22, 2015 |
The Governors of the SE should come together and see how they could make Obuaku seaport a reality. This will ensure direct access to the sea from the SE and should be able to berth large ocean liners. let us see how we can achieve this with or without the support of the FG. What can our Governors/leaders do to completely unlock and harness the potentials of our people in the SE. Can we select one of our states to act as a centre to drive massive economic & technological revolution in the SE? I am calling on my Igbo brothers & sisters on nairaland to come contribute meaningfully on this thread. I want us to create a model such that the SE will be like another country in Nigeria. How can we work this out? This is a time to make sacrifices and think outside the box. Umu nwanem, aname kene unu. Udo diri anyi. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

EUROBOMBER: of course. river niger links directly to the Atlantic ocean. once it's dregged So that heavier vessels can dock, it would open the area up to accept heavy liners. 1 Like |

You made a lot of sense here, I would suggest the south east governors come together, get the best technology technocrats available, draw a proposal and Masterplan for development and investment recoup, then sell the idea to billionaires from the south east all over the world, or approach foreign partners like Chinese or Israelis for a joint venture partnership deal. 2 Likes |

Re: A Functioning Seaport And Economic/technological Revolution In The SE by Nobody: 11:13am On May 22, 2015 |
shachris03: Let us make that a priority in the SE. All our Governors and leaders should join hands and ensure that we have direct access to the Atlantic. That would be a major game changer. |

I think some people like to engage in fantasy. What is the international politics of the River Niger? Where is its origin? Which countries have the right to dam the Niger? Who is doing so currently and who has future plans to do so? Will the River Niger always be there as we know it? Assuming that is the case and it can be dredged by the FG to allow large ships( an unrealistic feat technically) what would be the enviromental impact or do we assume we can do what we like without consequences upstream even outside Nigeria? How many international ships will agree to enter Nigeria and be permitted to do so by their insurers Is Onitsha the only town along the Niger that needs to have the so called port why is it the most deserving ? Why not Niger,Kogi,Kwara states? They voted for Buhari and they also want their own "Niger bridges" too .The river Niger is not River Onitsha. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Utchgirl: There is nothing tribalistic in what I said. If anything I support the idea BUT isn't it valid to also ask why they didn't make such an ambition a priority when at the corridors of power? They could have perhaps prodded GEJ to act or endorse the idea. That coulda went a long way in at least kick start something in that direction. 2 Likes |

omonnakoda: noted. do you know any other water channels in the east that can be upped to allow a port to be built? we need constructive criticisms here. |

That's a very good idea. Obiaku can be accessed through a river from Akwa-Ibom State to Abia State. It'll be a successful project if they could unite, plan and present the proposal to FG for approval. Even though they should have done this in Jonathan's era yet I believe it shall be approved by the incoming President. I wish them best of luck. Nigeria shall be better. But OP, I have a question oooooo. Most of Nigeria's importers are Igbos, why is it so hard for them to patronize Warri, Onne or Calabar seaports? (Big ships can berth successfully at the seaports). Could it be because they are not situated at SE or what? It is well. 1 Like |

shachris03:I will ask a simple question that challenges the premise. Why must there be a seaport in the SE when the SE is not by the sea. If there is to be one then why not one also for NC NW and NE how do we respond when they agitate for one. What is the reason or motivation for this? Why not establish rail links with existing ports or any other new ports that will be built in the SS. There is a very good case for at least two ports in the SS in the region becomes peaceful and less hostile IN THE EYES of investors |
