I just don't know why they think other people are shallow and pedestrian, they just can not see or reason beyond negativity and bigotry.

Best NPA Boss in the history of NPA

A true PATRIOT.

Thank you for what you do and God bless you.

tribalmall:
Not everyone that speak against Lagos.
Why do anyone speak against Lagos in the first place ? What did Lagos do to your life ?

Well, that aside many people understand Igbos like you who claim others hate radiate even more chronic hate n irredeemable bigotry inherited from your bigoted parent so no one is surprised by the level of foolishness you have to exhibit anymore.

wallex1983:
Beautiful.

But if this vessels travels out of Nigeria empty, it then calls for concern

Ariaria ABA and Onitsha markets are huge markets.

It seems you have not traveled to those markets before.

The markets are so big and busy that Lagos markets ( proudly dominated by easterners) are very small when compared.

Thank you

NGpatriot:



I'm Yoruba, I started the thread because I love the fact that this is Nigeria moving positively forward and doing great things, I'm not from that region, but I'm happy that Onne port that was left for dead for decades is now fully active and functional.

I also don't see how this affects ports in the SE, they serve different markets and I don't see importers shipping to Onne and then turn around to reroute their goods from Onne to Lagos, that's grossly counter productive, but I see great benefits in shipping to Onne for onward transfer to the brother eastern and Northern region and even serving dry ports from SS to SE and the North.

LegendHero:
Nice one.

This will lift a heavy burden from Lagos and the people that always chant that Lagos is what it is only because of the seaport can actually create a bigger Lagos in their region with this feat.

Nice one APC, Buhari, Amaechi, and Hadiza.

What are they rejoicing for? Nigerians did not build the ship, we did not captain it. We did not even build the seaport.

That's the way we should think, I've been in Enugu for more than 5days now against my wish all because I have to wait for some parts to be sent to me from Lagos. If ports at the SS are all functioning, it won't be too terible like this.

NGpatriot:
It didn't take long for the low self esteem and inferiority complex village anambra Igbos to pop up their ugly and insecure heads.

Who gives a shit about your worthless village gathering center. ?

Bunch of anti social nuisance,

One thing is that Yorubas will never feel bad about this. not Yorubas that I know, they are not people who get sad when they see other regions making waves, they believe in one Nigeria more than any other tribe.

Some people like you just like to create divides that is not there. Personally I'm too happy about this. I'm a field engineer who resides in Lagos but gets contracts across every state in Nigeria. I'm currently in Enugu fixing machines for a hotel, my experience here is not that palatable. I could remember buying a spanner I will buy at #100 in Lagos at #350/#400 here in Enugu, why? They complain they clear and transport there goods from Lagos, making me spending extra on everything I buy here. This is npt my first experience, it is always like this when I move far away from Lagos axis. Not mentioning how I suffer just to get a simple machine parts that you will even get by the road side in Lagos.

This is a welcome development that people like me will find so appealing. But for those tribal bigots, they won't see beyond economic impacts this will have in every part of the country.

Talking about Lagos coming down, u dey whyne me ni? As somebody has said, Lagos keeps going stronger even when the country's capital was moved to Abuja. You want to tell me Lagos depends only on seaports? Either you like it or not, Lagos is the biggest economic state in Nigeria and its position won't fall behind in Africa. Let me just burst your bubble, I'm very sure you won't know about Lekki deep seaport under construction, Dangote refinery that will also produce petrochemical and fertilizer. Many massive projects still under construction in that state o boy. Don't let me talk about headquarters of many organisations being majorly situated in Lagos. And another truth is that any average Nigerian who has huge money and want to invest hugely will think Lagos first, hausas will hardly go to SS/SE but Lagos to spend their money for investment. Igbos too will find it unreasonable to go to North to invest huge but find Lagos to be the right avenue. Just too many things to mention. Tell me how having another seaport at other regions will affect this state called Lagos.

Let's stop this tribal friction we tend to create, let's speak for the unity of one Nigeria.

Not the best president in fighting corruption but in terms of infrastructure, this man don try. I saw the news of the railways yesterday and was impressed, also saw the 2nd niger bridge, the Lagos Apapa road under construction and now this. Abeg the man try, but we expected much more. If only others have been trying little like this, we for don go far.

kolaaderin:
You better thank Buhari for this fit. Lagos is happy to have this happening, Apapa can breath again from disastrous congestion caused by years of negligence of PDP and their silly supporters.

post=92869311:
Nairaland full of ignorant minds

I still remember when those from west were saying largest container vessels can't berth in Onne Port except Lagos ports, Maerskline Stardelhorn is biggest Container vessel to ever call at any Nigerian port, those making those ridiculous claims should go and bury the heads in shame

Oh boy....., this is going to affect Eko Atlantic. All the projections & calculations figured into the project will have to be recalculated. ( Remember, its private sector investment with the expected rate of return on investment base on time value of money. Decongestion of Lagos port can translate into overall lost of revenue for the state)

A redirection of Igbo's economic dynamism in Lagos + the kicking off, of Africa continental free trade area by the first of January 2021 is economically not a good news for the SW period.

always good to give honour to whom it's due!

This govt strategically scores goals when you list expect it, kudos!

24SEVEN:


The deceit in this country is on another level. They said Rivers ports have shallow draft and is not suitable for big ships. I almost bought the lie. Just imagine.

If Nigeria is truly restructured, Lagos can never be greater than Rivers. Because they have nothing on Rivers. Nothing at all.

Enough of the dependance on Lagos Port alone.

CheGuevara101:


Your problem is you can read but can't assimilate.

Please tell me where in my statement did I say Lagos State will come down?

You call yourself a field engineer yet you can't comprehend simple statement.

Talking about friction, you need to speak to some of your Yoruba brothers on NAIRALAND because they are the starter and finisher of hate, envy, bitterness and tribal bigotry.
