Ok so you want to dredge past Ijaw and Akwa Ibom land with monstrous environmental consequences for the indigenous people of those areas so as to keep your poor landlocked Biafra supplied.
Even the way the thread started is just typical. Just popping a map and drawing lines and voila Biafra port.
Everything simple because the other ethnic groups are stupid and they escorted Ibos to this world only to minister to their fulfilment.

I only comment on intelligent threads like this.

The dredging of the river is very possible and can be done without interfering with other peoples lives and properties. the distance from the sea is not far because farther distances have been dredged within a year. the only problem will finances which can be sourced from smart investment projects.

There is also a confluence river in imo and it is deep. this confluence river can dredged and its at a closer proximity to the ocean. the map do not carry everything you need to see but in the real sense of it, it is possible.

the weather will favour the igbos because with the increase in global warming, the sea will come to us and we wont need to do much in dredging the river.

the estimated cost for this project will be around 15billion dollars or so. I know we dont have the money now but with serious minded people in the job, it can be done. having a seaport in the east is the future and we will achieve it in our generation without the help of akwa ibom and river state government because they will not see it as their major project but only a distraction from their problems which is true.

a sea port linking the southeast directly will bring economic life to the east and it will be a welcome development.

Ibo land will never prosper the way you people are configured. It is a mental thing. A wall. Look at the emptiness in this exercise. Very pathetic. You have pulled a map , drawn lines and insulted Akwa Ibom people and maybe some Ogonis. What do they put in your food that make you reason like soulless robotic automatons?. Please get serious and stop parochial rubbish. I wish your evil ugly named Republic still birth. There is no place for it in God's creation and you know it.

Are you from any of the communities near the Imo River?

From what I can see, the areas around the Imo are mostly dense forests anyway so that will cut down this projects intrusion on local peoples lives. The mouth also looks quite wide.

a seaport is very possible in the east. a well-documented research have been about it, the only thing we need to do is execution. within the next five years. you will see a very good sea port in the east.

I guess the main question is where, I believe there are several options, even without the Imo. There's the Urashi and of course the Niger.

There are people vandalising the clear rules of this forum on this page, these people are repeat offenders and refuse to change their ways, I have reported them several times and nothing has been done, meaning the report button does nothing, their monikers are above and their rule breaking is clear. Please don't allow threads to be derailed by such rule breakers.

we can support our government to achieve this. We can call on our brothers living outside Nigeria for help. I'm ready to give my one month salary to make sure that SE has access to the sea.

Imo River runs from Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom and empties into the atlantic ocean. River Niger runs from outsde Nigeria through Anambra, Imo, Rivers, Bayelsa and empties into the ocean If Nigeria ================== (hopefullly Akwa Ibom and Rivers/Bayelsa do not remain with Nigeria but form their own country or countries), then Igbos can work with Akwa Ibom and Rivers/Bayelsa to implement the dredging of these rivers up to Aba and Onitsha, respectively, to permit entry of large ships. Those countries (i.e., Akwa Ibom and Rivers) will get their shipping tolls paid for by SE, at the main wharfs, and the ships will sail inward to alaigbo. More recently, the large electrical appliances used for the Alaoji, Aba power project was shipped in via Imo River (see link). http://www.rocksonengineering.com/pages/About_Rockson/News_Imo-River-Crossing_08-09.html So what I am saying here is very possible with a little more dredging work. It looks like working on Imo River will be much more sustainable and self containing as it is devoid of external vagaries of the River Niger. Abokis may block the River Niger water upstream of Igboland. In contrast, Imo River begins in Alaigbo. Alternatively, or even in addition to the above, although Opobo is in Rivers State, it is populated to a large extent by people with Igbo ancestry (King Jaja of Opobo connection). So, with proper win-win arrangment, we can have an ''Igbo annex'' country in Opobo with more ready access to the sea.

All these things won't work mainly because of our hostile neighbours. There is this belief in cutting their tail before they go out of hand amongst them. Only in collaboration with Northerners can this be achieved as they can easily have their way in whatever threats posed by communities along the banks.

Good analysis, but if Aligbo is it's own country, or even not, northerners cannot block the upstream flow of the Niger, or at least, that would be met with international resistance.
