NAIJASOM: Well look at it this way, The coastal areas belongs to the SS, why the river is shared between the SE and SS. If those two regions are different countries. The SE will have a treaty with the SS to use the Sea. Because there will be defined boarders(land,aqautic and air) for each country. SS can't just allow ships from the Atlantic ocean into their country, going to the SE. No country just with her coastal areas. 2 Likes |

Emmatok is but another Yoruba man embittered by any good news coming out of Igboland. Even after Ngwakwe schooled him here :https://www.nairaland.com/1568347/hmm-abia-state-set-build/1 by showing him a Canadian port, Montreal port, that is farther inland than Obuaku will be, but that still served as a viable seaport, the Yoruba bitter Man cannot just swallow his bitterness and let Biafrans be. 4 Likes 1 Share |

emmatok: This is where you get it wrong. There is "NO" treaty needed for access to the sea. The only treaty or agreement needed between the south-east and south-south is where the territorial water claim starts and ends ( which I know will be done in a peaceful and civil manner). Other than that, the south-east don't need any port situated in the south-south or Nigeria for that matter. 1 Like |

For all intent and purposes, SE is but a part of Igboland. Igboland is bigger than south East. With Obuaku, SE is not and have never been landlocked. This I understand is a bitter pill for enemies of Ndiigbo to swallow. 3 Likes |

If Igbo people had a Fulani political mindset, they would have bought up several coastline by now, there wouldn't even be this discussion. Igboland, for now, is landlocked. 2 Likes |

emmatok:ok,let me educate u a bit,the UN law governing territorial water stated that a country which do not have borders directly with the sea but has a body of water flowing from it territory directly into the sea has the right to dredge the river/lake for trasportation purposes without the neighbouring country interrupting them. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Question: Is Igboland Landlocked? by ezeagu(m): 11:31pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
zuchyblink: Yes, through rivers like the Niger, the Oguta lake one is kind of far fetched because it's a lake that's more than 100 miles away from the coast and is linked by the narrow Urashi river, which I can't seen taking small ships let alone container ships. Also, the access is completely left at the mercy of everyone else the rivers flow through. The best thing would have been to strategically buy up lands to the coast line especially on the Imo River to Ibeno, kind of like the strip of land the DR Congo has, but no one has that kind of nationalistic sense unfortunately. 2 Likes |

ezeagu: The discussion boils down to one thing: can an independent Igbo nation with or without the present SS be able to operate an international seaport? |

ezeagu: I guess your comment s is solely based on who you consider to be Igbo or not. In that case the Ikwere and Opobo people may not be considered Igbos to you. If thats what you mean, I totally understand. Blame Nigerian politics for that. BUT opobo town, founded by an Igbo Man from present day Imo state is the lowest costal city in Nigeria. They have (to my knowledge) never denied their Igboness. 5 Likes |

Deltagiant: Maybe to an extent but it would be severely limited to have a sea port on a river, even one as big as the Niger. If an Igbo nation (as the outlook is now) is serious they can simply fork out cash and buy a narrow corridor and a bit of coast from the Azumini Akwete axis maybe down through some Ogoni or Obolo lands if they agree to sell a corridor and a piece of the coast, even swamp and mangrove self, as long as it's near the coast, engineering has come to a point a long time ago where airports and dockyards can be built on sea neat the coast. Apart from that it looks like we're looking at a Suez Canal type of situation, I might be wrong. It's sad because there's so much coastline in the delta region that's not being utilised (at the level we're talking about at least). 1 Like |

Re: Question: Is Igboland Landlocked? by ezeagu(m): 11:43pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
NAIJASOM: It's not really my ideas of who are or aren't, just being very objective and realistic as possible shows that people in those regions are not very enthusiastic, we could say, about an Igbo identity, even if they say they have Igbo ancestry it's different from identifying with Igbo people. Anyway, even if Opobo people are 100% with an Igbo nation, they are still separated geographically by the Obolo people and other ethnic groups so a good idea would be a corridor in that case. 1 Like 1 Share |
