Where in the post is he defending GEJ?

What the guy said is the truth. We have numerous ports that needs maintenance instead of creating a new one

Go back to his original post or are you the one who have comprehension issues? Jeez! Nairaland is going to the bin!

Awol1:


Granted he did not do anything about the ports.

But he didnt attempt building new ones while the old ones are battling obselete infrastructures.

Who starts a new house while the one he lives in is leaking?

Who does that?

None of my business about new or old. Its democracy, so people are either for new or for old. Since GEJ was brought to the mention then I am interested to know why he didn't solve any of those problems as being defended. Doesn't make sense!

Yankee101:


You're losing focus of the arguement.
I posted that the FG will try to take the little lagos already gets cos of Amoetekun. No one said the don't get the lion share.

Your initial position was lagos gets nothing from the ports, which is absolutely wrong

I get you, I just believe that a time will come that we would stop them totally from controlling our resources, we would make their generations yet unborn pay through their nose before they use our port.

So you are still stuck with GEJ since 2015?


How old are you?

That news was met to excite some people, the truth is that the project will end where it started - on papers.

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?

And GEJ and 16 years of PDP couldn't do all that even though the folks in the SE and SS are their main supporters?

Only fools sits in office for 16 years and let all his ports rot away without maintaining them or even building news ones.

I know very much how your kind hate people who are actually doing something while supporting the useless people that did not do anything for you..

You did not make any sense apart from letting us know how you supported 16 years wickedness and incompetence.

Then you lack knowledge if you think that Yorubas are benefiting from Nigeria using our port, you started the positive side and you left the Negative part, the damage Containers from Lagos ports are are being transported causes to the roads in Yorubaland. Are you daft to know that if Yoruba have total control to our port, we will use it to the full capacity to benefit ourselves, create massive jobs for Yorubas, and use it to develop our land. Are clearing and forwarding agents doing Yorubas any favour, or rather they are there for their own gain. If We Yorubas have total control of our ports, it will be 10x better than the shit we have. A port that Sultan of Sokoto or emir of Kano will make a,simple call and their Fulanis brothers will be employed and the Oba of Lagos or Ooni can not get Yoruba citizens a job in our port, and you are tell me it benefiting Yorubaland. You must be silly. Go and watch Adeyinka Grandson videos on YouTube where he is advocating we Yorubas should blow up the ports since we the owner are not benefiting from it which I totally agree to.

You seem not to understand what an economy is and how it comes about. Economy simply is the total economic activities that takes places within a specified area. And the location of Nigeria's most important ports in Lagos is a plus on the overall economic activities of Lagos.

Wether you accept or not, the influx of hundreds of thousands of people (if not millions) yearly to the ports in Lagos and the value they add to the Lagos economy cannot be overstated. If say Rivers for example had half the influx of people from everywhere in Nigeria to spend at least 3days going about economic activities, it will surely reflect on our indices.

Building a port is not something that is exclusive. Any state in Nigeria with access to sea can conveniently locate a port. Lagos is just fortunate to benefit from the lopsidedness if the Nigerian state.

You and your likeminds in the SWest should disabuse your minds of any plan to bomb NPA cos the Ships will only be redirected to either Rivers, Delta or Calabar. Nothing special in Lagos. Please leave bragging of bombings for those that actually have the bragging rights, ie the Nigerian Deltans that own crude oil.

Yes, there's congestion in Lagos on top of the bad roads leading into and out of the ports which previous administrations failed to correct, including 16 years of PDP, but the current administration is addressing these challenges with a major concrete road and rail access from the port to the rest of Nigeria.

Sorry to tell you, the solution regarding the port situation in Nigeria is right there in Lagos state for obvious reasons, Lekki deep seaport which is the best, the deepest and modern port in West Africa is only 2-3 years away from completion to decongest the port in Apapa so you are sadly mistaken if you think ports outside Lagos are capable of diverting commerce and economic activities away from Lagos just because of new ports in the SS.

The next massive economic zone in Nigeria is Lekki in Lagos so can the ports in the SS receive or evacuate the good. No.

The ports in the SS are doing better today with more ships heading there, this is not happening by accident, it's because the current administration is doing what the previous ones refused to do for decades.

PDP/Jona sat in office for 16 years and we did not hear anything about new ports in the SS, no approval even though the governors were PDP governors, they even let the old ones rot away.

The details on the proposed Bonny seaport is still sketchy but surely Bonny island is literally in the Atlantic ocean, so natural depth and whatever shouldn't be a concern. Rivers isn't any backwater state in Nigeria. Rivers is a bonafide oil&gas state and with the proper tweaking should hold her place as the No. 1 state in Nigeria. So whatever oil&gas infrastructures being built in Lagos isn't a concern especially given that Lagos isn't a true oil bearing state. They only have online oil deposits. Let the right and proper things be done in Nigeria and everyone will know where they truly stand.

Lagos is definitely not trying to claim any oil and gas supremacy over any oil producing state and Dangote regardless of where they source their oil from is still going to be bought @ world oil market rate.

Lagos's advantage remains non oil related commerce, population, market strength and buying power of the consumers in Lagos and the SW in general which other states lack.

We need to stop playing tribalism because we are not responsible for what transpired even before Nigeria was created.

The ports in Lagos state were not built by Yoruba people or Hausa people, other people made that decision, we inherited the ports from our colonial master so where is the sense in dissing the SW or blaming the FG for what they did not do? It is what it is so lets deal with our current realities, fact is, for decades since independence, the FG did not pay attention to our ports and they did not approve or build new ports, they did not even try inland ports.

A lot of people in this thread sat quietly and look the other way for 16 years, they didn't care about any seaport, they did not say a word, but now all of a sudden they remember seaports, they want to play politics and tribalism by jumping all over the place to assign blame.

I'm not a tribalist, so I don't know why your admonishing on tribalism. Let the FG build ports in Bonny, Build in Warri, Lekki, Ibaka and everywhere necessary. No need spending value hours in Lagos waiting for goods to be cleared when Nigeria has extensive coastline.

The FG can not finance any seaport for any state, it is not their job and they can not do much beyond approval, it is up to the states involved to look for funds from private investors.

Approval is just approval, nothing more.

Increased activity at the Eastern Ports is as a result of Nigerian Ports Authority’s new investment in dredging, port equipment and the 10 per cent discount on harbour dues in all concession terminals



The NPA had, as part of the effort to attract vessels to the eastern ports, commenced the dredging of Warri port at the cost of $44.861million (N16.150 billion).

The dredging has since been completed and vessels have started calling at the port.

A Warri-based Customs broker and former National Financial Secretary of the Association of Nigeria Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA), Val Orhobabhor, told THISDAY recently that the dredging project had been completed.


Aware of the perennial gridlock in Apapa as a result of the activity at the Lagos port, the NPA had recently announced that it was working with professionals in the maritime sector to make the eastern ports attractive for business.

The previous year, the NPA deployed equipment worth over $30 million in Onne Port, Rivers State.


Onne Port’s Milestone

He added: “Onne Port, which is regarded as one of the most modern port with huge potential among the ports operated by NPA, has also recorded a significant milestone taking advantage of the port facilities and the current permissible draft of 10.6 metres.

“The achievement recorded by the port in 2019 is as follows: Onne Port on 8th December 2019, successfully berthed a Maersk line vessel JPO Volansat West African Container Terminal berth 8. The first gearless and largest container vessel (LOA of 265.07metres) to call any Eastern Ports of Nigeria.”

You obviously don't know anything, some of you just vent based on what you know nothing about instead of asking and get educated with facts and proper understanding.

1. The Eastern seaports the previous administrations neglected and let rot away are coming back to life because of needed FG attention from dredging to good policies so where did you get your stories about not maintaining the ports from? Where

2. You said Onne port is besieged with obsolete equipment which was a lie and your own fabrication, Onne port is the fastest growing port outside of Lagos, the port even reached a significant milestone in 2019 when it successfully berthed the first gearless and largest container vessel (LOA of 265.07metres) to call any Eastern Ports of Nigeria.”

3. Rivers port is also seeing increased activity after years or ZERO activity.

4. The Apapa traffic gridlock was there for 16 years while you, Jona and his gang looked the other way, but today, the road is under construction and it's the longest concrete road and the the best road in Nigeria.


Everything you typed = Ignorant rubbish and sad to see that over 300 ignorant people liked your lies and rubbish.

Have all there are to be done in these ports been done?

Tell yourself the truth and forget about arguing academically, does Rivers need a whole new port instead of pumping that money into making existing ones a world class?

It's just like the Port Harcourt international Airport, despite the commissioning of the new airport terminal that was built by Jonathan, would you consider it a wise decision if the govt suggests building new airport in Rivers while the existing one is yearning for infrastructure?

Come on na. Must we defend clear mistake?
