Onitsha (Igbo: Ọ̀nị̀chà Mmílí[4] or just Ọ̀nị̀chà)[5] is a city, a commercial, Industrial,educational, and religious centre and river port on the eastern bank of the Niger river in Anambra State, southeastern Nigeria. Onitsha by 2001 had an estimated population of 511,000 with a metropolitan population of 1,003,000.[2] The majority of people in Onitsha are Igbo and speak the Igbo language however significant communities from Northern and Western Nigeria live in the city. The Onitsha people like to be referred to as Ndi Onicha. As a city lying strategically at the bridge between Eastern Nigeria and Western Nigeria, and between the densely settled Igbo hinterland and the oil-rich creeks of the Niger Delta, Onitsha is strategically positioned as a regional hub for trade and logistics in Eastern Nigeria. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onitsha 8 Likes

sammyj: Bro, I've been to Tincan Port. I've sailed the waters and to be honest Onitsha if finally given a chance will do just fine. If you're a proactive thinker then you'd know that impossibility gives rise to a new challenge. IT'S VERY POSSIBLE. 52 Likes 2 Shares |

Sentiment aside, why don't FG do something about this Onitsha seaport? It could go a long way to generate employment, increase our revenue base and open doors for foreign investment which all in integration boost our GDP. Must we play politics with everything?

sammyj:Why is it impossible ![]() Nothing is impossible. Check out the river ports located along the Amazon, Yangtze, Rhine, Seine rivers. Nigerian river port shouldn't be different if not that we are bedevilled by ethnocentric sentiments. 12 Likes |

Reyginus:you answered yourself...that port is an FG property and before the State government can do something on it, it must obtain permit from the FG...which seems somehow impossible because of tribalistic politics 4 Likes |
