verygudbadguy: CLOSE LAGOS PORTS FOR 60 YRS WHILE WARRI, CALABAR, ONNE, PORT HARCOURT AND ONITSHA STAY OPENED, WHILE YOU YORUBAS TRAVEL ALL THE WAY FROM SW TO SS AND SE TO CLEAR AND SHIP YOUR GOODS, AFTER 60 YRS, THEN COME BACK AND TALK TO ME IF YOU LIKE IT. ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED ABOUT MOST OF YOU AFONJAS IS YOU ARE HEARTLESS, YOU HAVE ZERO SYMPATHY FOR YOUR FELLOW COUNTRY MEN...ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS YOURSELF ONLY. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

verygudbadguy: It seems you don't know what's happening. Have you imported before. I can tell you that whenever you want to import the destination must be Lagos. No option to choose other ports. Just like the way it is in traveling down to Nigeria, you don't have option of choosing ss & se airports. It's the NPA that directs traffic, not state government or fashola. That was why when that se woman was aviation minister or something like that, he diverted traffic to Enugu airport and other ss & se states which media started criticizing and eventually she was removed(due to fraud anyway). I'm explaining because it seems you're not tribal but just didn't understand. |

MyNewJackeT:What is your point? and how is that relevant to what you quoted. What makes a hospital "best" is its staff. How many doctors work there. How many patients do they see in a year etc.is it profitable? It is not the building but people that determine the quality of a hospital Beautiful stadium? So public money should be spent on beauty? Well that is fine in economics you make choices what you choose not to have is the opportunity cost of what you choose to have so in choosing a beautiful stadium you have chosen not to have a port .I hope the beauty fills your bellies 3 Likes |

These are some of the things that causes serious agitations in this country, Fashola has just exposed one of the many attrocites meted out against the people of South south and South east. First I was wondering why he did not mention PH seaport which is the most functional of all the ports in South sourh, but they have used politics to ground activities in those ports because they think a section of the country will become richer, I have it on good authority that for the past one month, inflow of containers to Aba from PH seaport has reduced to 5% of what it used to be, I also have a first hand information from importers in Aba that the bureaucracis associated with clearing containers in Ph seaport is terrible compared to Lagos. I asked a simple question, why will any sane business man that wants to make profit allow his container to land in Lagos when his market is in the South east, where we have Ph, Warri and Calabar seaports ![]() It's not like there's a call to construct new ports, these facilities are there already but have been so underutilised and some allowed to dilapidated because of underutilisation. All vehicles imported in this country comes through Lagos when we have other seaports, this is the reason Apapa LG is the richest local government in Nigeria. Some one once asked " what does the Igbos want"? And I answer him today, allow all the ports in South south to function optimally, remove unnecesary bottle necks in goods clearing, also allow direct international flights from PH and Enugu airports and drive traffic to these ports, you would have solved a greater percentage of the factors that cause agitation. The Igboman naturally is a business man, stop activities in the ports and you have stopped the flow of income of the average Igboman. |

webcalculator:OK, I get you. I haven't imported before but I was always processing payments for importers and clearing agents on Paydirect. If I get you clearly, I think what is playing out is that of standard. Just like that of Airport, the Senators and Honourables should put pressure on the government, both at the state and federal level to see that the issue is addressed. I do not believe that Lagos State has a hand in the monopolising that sector. I believe other ports need to improve in standard. 1 Like |

libertyhope2017:You are not addressing the issue at hand. You are only interested in calling names and blaming people. There is no problem without a solution. If you think the federal government is monopolizing that sector to favour Lagos, let your Senators and Reps speak up instead keep mute and rotting in silence. But stop blaming people for your own woes. As a person, I have learnt to fight my battle and not hang it on people. Do the same. 1 Like 1 Share |

gists: When will people stop blaming Lagos for their own shortcomings and laziness for goodness sake? Ogun is currently getting more FDI in the manufacturing sector than Lagos coz it is leveraging on its proximity and landmass, we don't hear Lagos government sulking and lamenting over that, rather the state is still creatively coming up with other ways to attract investors into its other sectors. Are you people suggesting that Lagos should just stop growing because other states are lagging behind and refusing to develop? If Ondo wants a port it should build one for itself (or seek investors that would be willing to commit the funds towards that) the same way Lagos is planning to build two new ports abeg. Dangote initially wanted to site his refinery at Olokonla in Ondo but the state govt in cohorts with the locals were giving him problems so he rightly sought a more investor-friendly state -- Lagos. People should quit trying to guilt-trip Lagos for handling it's business and maximizing it's god-given potentials/advantage abeg. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Robisky001:Ask yourself who built the ports in the first place. Is it not the FG? So why would they allow the money to rot. The ports in the SS are majorly used for Oil Exports that's why the Lagos port is majorly used for non-oil exports and imports.

MyNewJackeT: No, The same way Lagos has decided to build Lekki and Badagry ports for itself. The same way Akwa Ibom is showing commitment towards building Ibom Seaport. Even Kaduna, a landlocked state, has been able to build a dry port, while some lazy landlocked people are still finding a way to blame Lagos as usual. Last time I checked, no one is preventing shippers from shipping to the other ports in the country. That shippers find Lagos ports more economical isn't Lagos' fault now is it?

MyNewJackeT: Ondo state government should seek investors to build one if they want one coz FG won't come and build it for them. FG is no longer in the business of solely building ports, same way they would rather leave the building of refineries to the likes of Dangote. States should stop being lazy (and quit blaming Lagos) and instead focus on creating enabling environments that would encourage investors to willingly commit their funds towards such projects in their states. 8 Likes 1 Share |

omofunaab: Lol I can't deal with these guys. They are perpetual victims and liars worst. The port not functional to being closed and people liked this comment. Nobody holding Akwa Ibom back from building port. The hold up is on their end. Even me I'm from Akwa Ibom when I argued about opportunity cost of stadium they all disagree. They want second in Eket. The hospital was good idea but look at it now it's closed because the staff was completely foreign (indian), they didn't pay for equipment and had trouble with lights. Yes it was one of best hospitals according to our health minister who visited. 3 Likes 1 Share
