I keep wondering if the apapa port is the only seaport in nigeria not until I realized that we have also onne,porthacourt and warri sea ports etc. Now my questions are? 1)is the federal government so clueless that it doesn't notice apapa sea port is highly congested? 2)is nigeria cursed to remain a failure that it doesn't make effort to develop other sea ports e.g warri,onne,calabar etc which will bring development into this cities? 3)is the FG not aware of the potentials of this cities if their water ways for sea port is well dredged and developed which will open ways for containers to come in there by decongesting lagos? 4)don't the FG see how develop countries manage their costal cities and make them the economic power house but here in nigeria reverse is the case,they are only after lagos and abuja abandoning the niger-delta where the major player of the economy comes from? Now if the federal government can unlock the potential of this cities tell me how on earth lagos will keep having mass influx of people daily from other places most especially people from this places that needs this seaports so much,tell me how on earth the economy won't grow,tell me how other major and world class cities won't emerge,tell me how a new middle-class won't emerge. So sorry for nigeria and those people that has always drawing the country backward with different riots and insurgents,that would rather have power remain with them as born to rule people shall surely see the wrath of the almighty God. THERE WAS A COUNTRY

It is politics - that's why Obasanjo and Sarumi refused to dredge the Calabar channel, thus killing Calabar port and TINAPA - you can figure out who benefits from the Lagos's monopoly. I won't say anything more.

politics....one ethnic group wants every imports to pass though its ports

Another ethnic group is scared of the potential if other ports are allowed to be dredged owing to their own lack of ports...more like..."i want two of us to remain on the same level"
