Answer: Not at all. Igboland stretches from
Igwe Ocha (Port Harcourt) to Agbor. The
Atlantic ocean washes the shores of
Igboland. Africa's second largest river -
River Niger, traverses Igboland with one
part of Igboland in the east and another
part in the west of Nigeria. Oguta Lake has
the potential of accommodating large ships
and could be made a navigable port. If
Igboland is landlocked, then all Nigeria is
landlocked.

Only an ignoramus will say Igbo land is landlocked. Opobo which is by the Athlantic Ocean was founded by an Igbo man called Mbanaso Ozurumba, better known as King Jaja of Opobo. Even if Igbo land were just the 5 SE States, it is still access to the sea. There is a big difference between being landlocked and having no access to the sea to bring in goods. World class sea ports can be built in Oguta Imo state and Obuaku in Abia state. Both Abia and Imo have tributuaries that run directly into the Athlantic Ocean and can accommodate huge ships. Even Onitsha has an inland port. So when people say Igbo land is landlocked, I laugh

Opobo is now ibo land? Lol!
'Cos the Ijaw has an ibo man as their king, their land has become ibo land? Lol!
Yeye people!

Ijaw land? Nobody owned that land, that's why king Jaja could take it. I regard them as Opobo Igbos because Opobo was founded by an Igbo man. Of course, it is for them to them to decide who they are but I have heard that the main language of the Opobo people is Igbo

Omololu007:
if ibo land is not landlocked,then you must agree with me that benue,niger and kogi state is not landlock

Omololu007:
alot of you ibos on nairaland are really crazy,see this fool calling opobo iboland.you are really lost ibo land is land lock

Deltagiant:


Your answer/comment is totally different from the question of whether Igboland is landlocked. Igbo is a language indigenous to the people of the lower Niger, and the question is whether the native Igbo speakers in Nigeria are land locked? In other words, whether the native Igbo speakers of Ikwerre, Opobo or parts of Bonny are landlocked?

chuna1985:





Is Opobo also Yoruba land

Omololu007:
no part of bonny or opobo belong to ibos,,,or are you telling me the former chief of army staff lt gen minimah is an ibo man...opobo and bonny are fully ijaw land

SLIDEwaxie:
you people are annoying. the proximity to a particular place is so constant on its language.

so, because they speak Yoruba in lokoja and KAbbA now, the Yorubas must lay claim to them, abi?

chuna1985:



Loooooooool. Go n educate ur self. i jaw land begins n ends in bayelsa. Rivers state is hard core igbo land........ Rivers state is more igbo than Lagos is Yoruba.

Omololu007:

dejavski:
Am ilaje and I support BIAFRA... though in a peaceful manner.
I have come to realise that most yorubas are really scared of secession but they won't admit it

Quote me anywhere

Guts comes with glory. One thing I like about Nnamdi Kanu is that he is very articulate and organised.

He knows how to organise his people around his dream, he can be the next Che in Africa because he is fighting a just cause but due to the mainstream media propaganda, a lot of people won't see and agree to this.

He have been able to gather the support of the igbo people worldwide both indigenous, in diaspora and those whose ancestors were taken to slave in Europe, America and Latin America which have now become a force to recon with.

Unfortunately my people yorubas are still under the chain of mental slavery donating their hard earned money to fake men called pastors instead of donating their money to organise themselves to build another oduduwa nation. We also have the same capacity to do the same as IPOB but we won't.

We also have yorubas all over Latin America, Europe, and other parts of the world.

I wish IPOB success in their quest because with their success, it becomes a motivation for other regions in Africa to do the same

tunjion:
The truth is we yorubas should stop opening thread to speak for south south minority.

Biafra from wat i read is not by force. Igbos in Edo such as the igbanke and Ika are Biafrans without doubt.

Other Edo ethnic group might even be rejected by Biafra. Some will end up applying to join.

Sentiment aside, they might feel Hausa and Yoruba will dominate them if they remain in Nigeria

Allow your brain to assimilate the hard truths in these comments by a couple of your reasonable kinsmen. And then you will understand the reason you've been taking overdose Panadol for someone else's headache.
