REMOVE YOUR WICKED, GREEDY AND JEALOUS EYE FROM SS PORTS PROJECT.


IT IS NOT BEING CONSTRUCTED ON YOUR LAND.

Zico5:
Government with no direction. Always thinking with their anus. This is the misplaced priority of the highest order. May God help us, 2023 is too long.

Tomide007:

Does lagos receive tax from the port? only FG does

CarlosTheJackal:
It seems starting a new project gives these politicians a leeway to steal public funds.


I'm in support of upgrading the present Eastern ports

They are not just upgrading but building new Deep Seaport in the SS.



One in Bonny and the other in Warri, something GEJ could not do.
cc pazienza, lalasticlala

Okoroawusa:

All these problems you listed what did GEJ do about them?

Or the problems started in 2015?

Citytrend:
It is Long overdue. Jagaban will certainly not welcome this News because of Tax

Awol1:


GEJ didn't do it because he is not as stupid as the fools you are supporting.

Apapa wharf gridlock is a national disaster. What has your govt done about it?

Calabar port needs dredging so that bigger vessels can berth. What has your govt done about it?

Warri and Onne ports are reported to be battling obselete infrastructure and piracy. What has your govt done about?

Onitsha seaport needs dredging to start taking vessels. What has your govt done about it?

It is only fools of wanton stupidity that would start a whole new ports while having not fixed existing ones.

Do these people have brains at all?

jneutron4000:
do you think Lagos state and Yoruba land is benefiting from that port Some of you are ignorant on the Federal government revenue system. The NPA generates revenue thru Lagos seaport and take the money down to Abuja without reinventing it back into the Lagos economy, Fulanis now takes the lion share. Go and see the road of Apapa Wharf that's generating stupendous money to the Federal government account very bad road. We Yorubas wants to control our port. We need the Fulanis and NPA to hands off.

Sapphire94:


Baba You Just said nonsense

Give me the Logo I paid for.

jamesversion:


Yes, Lagos and by extension Yorubaland are benefiting immensely from the port in Lagos. Forget about revenue coming directly from the port and consider all other economic benefits acruable to Lagos as a result of it being the location of a port.

The importer who travels from say PH to Lagos to clear his goods will stay in a hotel, will eat food, will pay transport to and fro within his stay in Lagos before going back to PH.

A company who usually import raw materials through Lagos port will consider setting up shop in Lagos to save cost/risk of long haulage to say PH.

Clearing agents, forwarders et al will reside in Lagos, and do business within the locality, improving the economy of Lagos.

NPA staff and other FG agencies affiliated to Ports/Shipping will reside in Lagos, send their kids to schools, open business for themselves or other family members and ultimately improve the Lagos economy.

So please, tell your bullshit to an idiot.

Yankee101:


Then you know nothing about revenue generation is Lagos state and the sharing formula for FG derived revenue

https://shipsandports.com.ng/wharf-landing-fees-and-apapa-gridlock/

jneutron4000:
Lagos state is not getting up to 10% of What's the port is generating, Fulanis that do not have any sea port are benefiting way higher that Lagos state that is generating the revenue for the NPA. So what formula are you shouting up and down when Lagos state government ought to be the one giving FG let say 10% and keep the remaining. This is the fraud in the constitution about the sharing formula we are talking about.

Kingspin:
We are a wealthy nation but those in government lack the sense.

BreconHills:


Your statement doesnt make sense. You cannot say that GEJ refusal to develop any sea ports and his patient vigil on the systematic destruction of access to the Lagos sea port was an act of wisdom. That would be giving wisdom a bad name. When did doing nothing become a strategy? For 16 years Lagos state offered to repair access roads in Apapa and were told - keep off - Federal road!

The same goes for the Eastern ports. The allocation of southern ports should be welcomed as another step towards the distribution of infrastructure around all regions in the federation. Instead of getting all in arms over the report, the proper response should have been "Thanks, when will it get done, and by the way fix these as well". Life is not "either or" Most of the time it includes the word "and"

Adopting an adversarial tone is false braggadio. It doesnt make sense to create a fight out of nothing.

We cannot turn parts of our brain dark simply because we have a limbic responses to "Buhari" or " this government" wherever it occurs in a sentence. Let's hold the government to its words instead of fighting long forgotten wars that profit no one.

byrron:


You deserve a big champagne on me for this response that is so laden with facts and critical thinking which can only come from a rational being with a functional brain cells.

CoolAmbience:



You are so daft that you didn't realize the implications of your 'Onitsha seaport needs', 'Onne seaport needs', 'Calabar seaport needs dredging for larger vessels'......bla bla bla.


Any mentally stable person will read what you wrote and figure out that you only succeeded in indicting Jonathan. If all these ports need this and that, what did Jonathan do in office for 5 years, especially when we consider that he is from the South south region?

Who told you that the seaports are not been attended to?

The Apapa-Oshodi-Oworoshoki Expressway project and extension of the Lagos-Ibadan Railway project to Apapa wharf are critical interventions being currently put in place to extensively address the gridlock in that axis of Lagos state.

Who now is suffering wanton stupidity and is without brains?

Titogbanski:



It is so easy to predict that someone would soon tell you that GEJ did not do this or that which makes me wonder whether stories like these are mainly designed for propaganda purposes.

GEJ attempted to do a lot STRATEGIC projects for his region amidst one of the one opposed and vilified Presidency in Nigeria...but the same factors that have held the region down prevailed. I give a few instances below;

GEJ approved Onne as the official seaport for all oil related equipment and materials which PMB changed back to Lagos.

Also GEJ approved the multi billion Naira logistic handling Port at Agge and some preliminary works were commenced .....but PMB again changed it back to Lagos which is the LADOL you hear about. It is raking in Billions in revenue and income presently. Some major vessels are doing their drydocking there.

Again GEJ set off the maritime university at Okerenkoko Delta State.....the school as part of its facilities was to host the biggest dockyard in the African sub region which would have attracted large vessels for dry dock, many new skills and improved the economy of the area. PMB has now vetoed or cancelled the Maritime University in Delta.

Again the Lagos - Calabar Coastal Railway project was proposed as a PPP project with the Chinese, and all the paperwork had been completed for the take-off.....once again PMB cancelled despite the fact that the FG was not to pay much of the cost for the project. Today that project is on voice mail.

The East West Road witnessed the most accelerated construction during the GEJ era which brought it about 70% completion in spite of the terrible challenges of terrain, budget and detractors. Under PMB the East-West Road has been abandoned completely. No work for 4 years now!!!!!

The list goes on and on...the problem of the Niger Delta is not internal...it is externally induced....otherwise tell me why Tinapa cannot work as a free trade zone

Awol1:


Thank u baba.

We need to rescue this country.

It's a task that must be done.

frowland:


Funny thing is that you went ahead to list what even the previous government couldn't do for 16yrs.
Since you objected and said GEJ is not stupid, I expected you to list what he did to remedy the situation you listed up there!
If I were you guys, you all should sit this one out as none of you have any morale ground to question why this govt is not performing. Different sides of the same coin. Nonesense.

Awol1:


As much you think I indicted GEJ, my grouse is that GEJ didn't suggest building new seaports while having not fixed the terrible state of the existing ones.

How can you start a new building when the one you live in has a leaking roof?

Who does that?
