  1. I disagree. As black people we are always limiting ourselves. What we would see as a problem is what the Saudi's saw as an opportunity . Look at what they have built in the Desert today. In this age we should encourage innovative reasoning and reason like the advanced race we claim to be.
    We are Igbos and there is nothing we cannot achieve if we put our heads together. Where there is a will there is a way. Let German ingenuity guide you when you study the Port of Hamburg on the River Elbe . If the British and the French can build highways under water, then what is dredging a river?

    We need a Sea Port on Igbo lands to increase options to transport regardless of how expensive. The funding will be recovered over time.
    – For funding. We do not need the FG as PPP partners. All we need is the approval for the Economic zone and the 5 sister states can join resources to get this port done.

    – Transportation options. I totally agree with your suggesting to use rail but I do not support that being the only option. I suggest we use all 3 modes of transport. Land,(highways and rail) sea(deep sea Port) and air. Regional airport hub.

    -The 5 Igbo states need to come up with a common regional development plan. Imo needs a separate deep sea port for transporting fossils but between Ebonyi and Abia states we can have another dredging project to site a container port with 2 or 3 berths for unloading containers and also for cruise river transport.
    Enugu can house the regions air hub with all states coming into agreement to build less than 2 hour super highways(with rail links) directly to the air hub
    States should then cooperate with neighbouring states Rivers, Akwa Ibom/Cross River and Bayelsa to build direct highways and rail links to the bigger port cities in these states.

    – Oguta used to be a trade corridor used by the British during colonial times. It needs to be brought back to use as a trade corridor. Who says we cannot have a dredged waterway in addition to using railway? Can we not reason better than white men? If for nothing else but as an option to transport gas and for use in tourism and cruises as well.. Imo needs its own deep sea port for the transportation of Imo's 200 trillion cubic ft of gas. No cost is too expensive. Have you learnt nothing from the ND creek boys that you want to depend solely on one means of transporting natural resources?

  2. You talked about Orashi River in Imo and Abia states, what about Calabar sea ports and Portharcourt sea ports?
    Large cargoe ships can bath at these port, serving all importers need from overseas to south east, coastal and upland regions, instead going through hellfire importers of south east extractions go through with it attendants Yoruba quit notices for Igbo Hebrews and other South eastern importers .
    The narrator is talking about railway passing through Enugu to Kano, to Maiduguri etc, be informed that south east as a whole must EXIT Nigeria as independent state.
    We do not need the zoo Islamic terrorist British backed hausa-fulani federal government to unleash our ingenuity in global trade and commerce.
    Do you know why reconstruction, reconciliation and rehabilitation 3Rs of Mr. Yakubu Gowon took place in Lagos and in Kano?
    It's because of economic strangulation policies to pull Igbos down and backward.
    Yoruba politicians knew that it's because of Huge import duties Igbos 're paying to Lagos state government that made Lagos to develope rapidly, and they will do everything humanly possible to block ala Igbo becoming a mega cities better than any other in Yoruba lsnd, hausa-fulani cursed land and in Africa in general.
    Restoration of sovereign state of Biafra is a task that must be Accomplished.
    Shalom from Biafra land

  3. Let the governor do what he wants to do. This how we always sell our selves to nothing and after wards we start to accuse other regions of setting us back whereas we did it to ourselves

  4. Why not focus on that of imo river and make an efficient seaport in the south east. It will serve a lot. The bridge can be demolished and reprojected to allow the flow of bigger vesseld.

  5. This guy is ill informed the distancesbhe is mentioning is wrong what we should be talking about is the distance to Atlantic not gulf of Guine and the dist6in this case is 18 Notical miles shorter than that of Lagos and it's a lie that water body that's connected directly to Atlantic does not and will not have volume when dredged.

  6. You lack understanding of Ocean transportation Gulf of Guinea is a free water and vessels navigate to trangles from there eg say Lagos triangle; Bonny traningle; Eatern Obolo; Badagry; Shaga; cottonu etc so thats never the qestion but the distance is messured from the Atlantic points of contact with the Rivers in question again your cliam of shallow waters fails to tell us the depth if at all you know in this case the distance is measured in nurtical miles not kilometers so next time go get your facts before you come online to dish out lies.

  7. Our Obsession to port is very annoying. Seriously we can't fight God. We have this geography, let's do with what we have. It's not every people that have access to Seaport. It's IPOB that are making this Seaport obsession.
    Let's focus on other things and leave this obsession with Seaport

  8. Mr poster the best you can is to remove the shirt you posted., i am Abia state and not in support of your attempt to discourage Imo state government and i believe what you doing is to bring the attention of other igbo's to participate and make the dream come true so that all insults from all corner of Will come to an end, it will a pride to igbo in General …
