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?

BlackBaron:

Isn't Kabba yoruba? You can't just jump on to claim they're not just to prove a point.

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 still has 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

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

ekenedegreat:

Omololu007:
which part of Ibo land has access to the sea

chuna1985:



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.

NAIJASOM:
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.

ekenedegreat:
Is igweocha not part of Igboland?

Omololu007:
for me this is pure nonsense.what do an ijaw have in common with an Ibo man.ijaw,opobo and the ibos have nothing in common....infact what do an Ibo man in enugu have in common with an ogoni man?

NAIJASOM:
Before I answer your question, please tell me what "access to the sea means to you". ( I am hoping to have an intelligent conversation with you and folks alike)

chuna1985:



Ur not part of us, that's why u don't know what we have in common.

Omololu007:
answer my question too

Guys cool down, which of the 5 SE States has direct access to the sea without going through another state? NON

And that is the definition of landlock .

Omololu007:
what do an Ibo man in abakaliki have in common with an ijaw man in brass

emmatok:
Assuming the 5 SE States forms a country A and all the SS states forms country B.

How will country A get access to the Sea without going through Country B.

zuchyblink:
if that is ur own definition of landlocked then u have to go back to school

Omololu007:

do u know how countries ships heading to Nigeria pass before getting to Nigeria? Hate has made u to lose ur sense of logic

To the educated one.


A landlocked state or country is a sovereign state entirely enclosed by land, or whose only coastlines lie on closed seas.

Tell us which SE States does not fit into the bold.

''entirely enclosed by land'' is SE entirely enclosed by land? Half backed education is dangerous

Omololu007:
I don't think you know what landlocked is,is there a port in portharcout? And hope you know that some part of ijaw land is in portharcourt?
