This is better. Traffic will reduce a lot, and those stupid tankers will be few on Lagos roads.

goodnessme1:
Yes he is really working for south East.


He have killed at least 300 eastern youths doing peaceful protest.







Is that not wonderful work from him?

If mistakenly taken to onitsha of all places, FORGET IT. They'll make sure they keep it going. Igbos are the "main importers and exporters we have in this country" as in they constitute the MAJORITY so they will MORE THAN LOVE IT. Besides, they can even maneuver their way easily there with customs people as na their hometown na. It will depopulate Lagos GREATLY
Though I "think" this may be a deliberate attempt by the government to get at the SW (maybe the job crew). "I think"

The tallest in the group is Hon Ifeanyi Ibezi

kayjay69:
They should keep it going abeg. Lagos has been overrun by container trucks and all sorts. Makes no sense that a country of 180 million dependent on imports would rely on 1 main port.

We need to put aside petty politics and simply do what is best for everyone.

Charleys:
Hahahahaha

All I see is Fulani men here, no onitsha person here.

OpinionCounts:


If the government and maritime agency know this to be true, why not berth the containers in Portharcourt port instead of berthing in Lagos then doing another round of transporting down to the east? That looks to me like poor logistics arrangement, waste of money, waste of time, unnecessary risk exposure etc..and trust me, knowing the kind of corrupt country we live in, cargo owners will now be made to pay multiple port landing/handling fees, this expenses they will now transfer into the cost of their goods and Las Las na we the consumers go pay for the government's short sightedness.

hopexter:


You should be contented with this for a start and don't forget that the Igbos didn't vote for Buhari.

lacasera14:
So there's Port in Onitsha

Lipscomb:
Hope that will not cause setback to our country.

IduNaOba:
No be by sea o
We want our sea port in onitsha working.
Which yeye moving cargo by rail?
Let's see how this will benefit us

Fully activation of Onitsha port on the way

Thanks PMB

Charmingrascal:
Buhari is really working in the South East

Ekejoestar:
Ok,
but we must not copy everything from the west, why not develop a system whereby we can have special stations along the railway where we can have container depot specially for that purpose instead of going all the way east.

SlayerForever:
I want to ask, , Horsepower102 etc if the goods are moved with barges to Onitsha who accrues the benefits from clearing, Lagos port or Onitsha port?

post=92996893:

Goods destin to Onitsha will be cleared in Onitsha not Apapa, it's more cheaper with barge, a Lash barge can carry 385

horsepower102:
It’s about time. How can a country of over 200 million people be importing from a single port. It just never made sense to me throughout my life but I was hearing all types of dumb reasons why it makes sense.

Some Human beings are willing to justify any evil if you give them the chance.

post=92985968:
Considering the fact that a significant number of the containers that berth in Apapa goes straight to the South Eastern part of the country

SlayerForever:



Even if the ship berthed at Apapa?
