I'm talking about my region being developed........... your talking about economic migrants and stragglers that need my region to survive.

tinsel:

Whether the government is spending a kobo or not is not the issue. They made it possible. With all our support for Jonathan in the south east how many of these kind of project did he give us. None. You guys always have excuse for every thing.

source or reference or I DONT believe,,, U know the rest

MadamExcellency:


Define region according to Nigerian constitution? You mean Economic migrants in Lagos State House of Assembly? Stop engaging distractions, all these jabs on Nairaland are actually a personal setback that provide no food on your table. This is just an advice.

You don't have any stake where you don't own a dime even in your fathers compound (assuming certain percent of your inheritance is with strangers and non is with you) hence leave the region matter for Mathias. Hunger can't go away by wishes rather by exchange of cash and what you give and get.

ehikwe22:
Yorubas are the only proud betrayers I know. Yorubas are Nigeria's problem and they're happy about that. The North is using you people for their evil agenda against the South and you're proud about it. soon the devil you work for will consume you.

samcolee:
wont insult you buh why do everyone believe that ss always blow things up. Have not seen much violence in aks where am from, though i think most of the vandalism is caused by negligence of the area. I support these developments but it doesn't help much cos we still get goods from those places at high price cos of transport. If there is development there will be no vandals

yanabasee:


Dude, I don't hate....

More so... I don't even see a seaport as a big deal in lagos state... With seaport or not.. Lagos will remain the way it has alwys been....

Again... You SW are lousy toddlers... Your words run faster than u think! Stop talking and start thinking!

if you're an investor don't come near if u aint ready to site ur head office in the region u r drilling oil. And no 1 will tell why the drill in ss and have heard office at lagos right from time. I wonder why they take the risk of coming here to drill but don't want to get the youths here employed by building refineries. Maybe this is this the more reasons the NDA are saying enough is enough. If they were engaged i don't think the will take up arms. Even the oil companies are occupied more by non indigenes leaving them with nothing. Don't get me wrong even when we have lazy people who are not ready to work we still have hardworking people buh they dont have the opportunity

What about approving new deep seaport for some of the coastal states like Delta, Rivers,Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom,Calabar) so that traders cost of clearance and transportation from lagos to the south-east south-south and surrounding states can be reduced and those states can have more internally generated revenue like Lagos?

Or better still the FG should approve the refurbishment of all the abandoned seaports or the key ones. I sure the loots that have been recovered can foot the bill for at least one.

Traders are crying about the high cost of customs clearance leaving them no choice but to increase the price of their wares. Honestly it makes no economic sense that a country as big as Nigeria have all their active seaports located in one small state, for God sake these are the things that these so called elected Rep members and senators should be discussing in their respective meetings rather than just looking to line their own pockets and padding budgets.

Rotimi Amaechi as the transport minister and who should be representing the interests of the Mid-West, south east and south-south and their surrounding states seems to be blind to the importance of diversifying the seaports in Nigeria. No problem sha, when he finishes with APC he will return to his people who will then question him what he has achieved in terms of multi-million dollar infrastructure. He bashed and rebashed Jonathan continuously over his lack of development , now that he is in the main hot seat of developing infrastructure what is he doing!!!!

CSTR12:
My friend, shut the fucck up. You think the international community is bigoted? Petty crimes is what makes somewhere unsafe? Do you know how much is being swindled from people trying to buy land and properties everyday in the SW? What of your omo-oniles, and state govts empowered agberos and rival cult groups.?
The SE is the most peaceful in the country and very industrious to boot. Your presidents unfortunately have failed to leverage on that.

Ajibel:
I knew with BRF position in the 3 key ministries, Lagos would get lots of favours.

Now Lagos state has or intend to have how many seaports About 4 in total in the next 6 years.

The Lekki deep seaport is already ongoing.

Thats very unfair to the whole country.Its Lagos the only coastal State in Nigeria.What happened to Calabar Akwa-ibom and Rivers and Bayelsa states.They should Deconjest that Lagos Jareh! Every Year we spend huge sums of money on Lagos Benin Express way, East-West road.some of these would have been transported through water ways to the south. APC government be appointing 83 year old man as a chairman are we moving forward or backward in this country.Nigerians are not bored so enough of this African Magic on the polity.
Edited :::

Thanks to naptu2, Lagos is expected to have 7 seaports

1) Apapa Port
2) Tin Can Island Port
3) Lekki Port
4) Badagry Port
5) Ikorodu Port (Lighter Terminal. NPA is working on making it an export port).
6) Ijora Wharf
7) Customs Quay (the original port of Lagos)

aresa:



We know how GEJ denied and frustrated Lagosians by not approving the RED line right off way which end up frustrating away investors ready to lay down $billions for the project.


That clown is a sad, incompetent, unpatriotic and vindictive man who put politics before country..

Well said . . .

That was a project that was expected to commute roughly 1.5 million passengers daily! Now multiply that by just N100 per passenger . . .

Bitter politics is of no use to nobody.

yes ooo....so wetin come happen....

You just proven that the truth taste like Alomo.., Let me educate you a bit.. just cos the UN say something that doesn't make it correct,, what was their mode or Index used in finding out the safest place in nigeria?? don't be trabalistic am not from SW,,some you people don't even know Nigeria..

GreatSE:


How do one fight for development..... By sabotaging other regions, the only resean an Hausa/Fulani man will develop another man's land is because they know One day they will Collect it.....Yoruba Land is a conquered HAUSA /Fulani Land, when the time comes they will come for it...... Buhari have said it.

CSTR12:
Really? So the reason why a progressive govt that wants to succeed would ignore better investment opportunities in other parts of the country because the people there don't like him.
Very good. Nigeria's subsequents presidents would not always be supported by everybody. But this politics of winner takes all would never be forgotten.
I am sure it is just beginning. I am hopeful though that the niger-delta would begin to leverage on its strength and decide and remove presidents.

amagunnerfan:
If the pipelines in the ND are been blown up as it is the case now, why do you think Government will trust you people enough to bring development over there?

The problem of ND & SE is lack of accountability. Have you held your governors accountable for their federal allocations? You rather play the victim than take your governors to account. This my brother is the main problem.

It is not as if SW and the north gets way more than you lot or is it? And what development has happened in the north ever since their religious madness, wonder why they are not crying wolf as you lot in the South South and South East?

When you think everyone is your enemy, you can't make friends. Stop been so paranoid and maybe, just maybe things will work.

The South West plays her politics better, learn from there.

CSTR12:
I get annoyed with obstinate illiterates, so my patience with you is wearing out.
The UN knows more about Nigeria than you do. They gave incontrovertible reasons for their assertions which is more than you have given since.
I am sure just like the rest of you illiterates, you have not gone beyong ore and you want to tell us you know Nigeria. Laughable lots.

hakanai:



You will appreciate the port sites and the boost it would get once the rail-lines become active from the North to the SW. Because by then raw materials and finished goods will exchange in tonnes across both region and on to the international.

You have industries largely in Lagos and Ogun also access to international market via the ports. Raw materials and others from the North(Kano) by rail. Finished goods going both ways to the North and West with added value. Dangote i hope you finish your refinary in time too.

I just can't wait ... Even if Naija scatter God willing we can always do business with the SW.
