I opened a thread sometime last year explaining that Nigerians don't understand what it means to be landlocked. The word "landlocked" in Nigeria is used solely for political purpose but it doesn't change the reality on the ground. The sad part is that so many Nigerians including Igbos have bought this lie. If you want to know what true land lock means, look at Switzerland, Lesotho, Ethiopia etc. Even with the false map drawn after the civil war, Igbos are not landlocked. 7 Likes |

Omololu007: Have u ever been to Rivers state I'd prefer u visit the place first before u comment. If u stay in any part of rivers state for 30 days, u will likely not see any non igbo. Ikwerre are igbos, 100%. ijaw n Ogoni people are relatives of the igbos (cousins). Rivers is 70% igbo populace n finally u have not asked Ur self who voted 3 igbo men into rivers state governorship positions since 1999. 9 Likes |

Omololu007: OK, lets start by defining the word " ACCESS" According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Access means the following : a way of getting near, at, or to something or someone : a way of being able to use or get something Based on these definition south-east and Igbo Land in General has Access to the sea through three major rivers. Niger River: Flows between Asaba and Onitsha Imo river: Flows from Oguta lake in Imo state and discharge at Obaku in Abia state Cross River: This is the river where cross river state got its name from. It flows between Ikwo in Ebonyi state and Cross river state. For now I will leave Igweocha (Port-Harcourt) and Opobo out of the equation for political reasons. 5 Likes |

Re: Question: Is Igboland Landlocked? by Nobody: 10:39pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
emmatok: The simple answer to your question is "NONE" BUT you need to understand first of all, that South-East only make up 3/5 of Igbo land. The rest were merged into the south-south during state creation after the Civil War. There are indigenous Igbos on Delta, Rivers, Akwa ibom, Cross river, Benue, and Edo. The point I am trying to make is that Even If south east Igbos are the only ones to break away from Nigeria, they will still have access to the sea even if the river goes through a Non-South-east territory. The reason is because If a body of water is shared between two nations, that river is an International water. Blocking that river is an Act of war according to the United Nations. 9 Likes 1 Share |

[quote author=emmatok post=38413947] What country, Nigeria has direct access to the Atlantic ocean from the SW to SS. That is why we have seaports.[/quot direct or indirect still serves the same purpose. Opobo,ph,akwa ibom,calabar and bayelsa have direct access while imo,Asaba,ebonyi,abia and anambra have indirect. We are ok with that. Any other thing? |
