What everyone needs to understand is that, the eastern region is a relatively small region. Many people may say then, it is a problem. Oh no, it isnt. it is a blessing in disguise. the region is the most strategically located region in nigeria. abia state for instance can connect every other parts of the eastern region within an hour. if you are very intelligent, then you should know what that means in terms of economic capability of the region. what is produced in abia can get to anambra within an hour. No state in the east that is not blessed: Anambra state: oil, agriculture, coal, iron ore and very large human capital development imo: oil, iron ore, agriculture and human capital development enugu: very large deposit of coal and human capital development Abia: oil, agriculture, and very large capital development. ebonyi: home of eastern agriculture, limestone and human capital development. we have other igbo groups i wish not to mention for the sanity of this thread. but in all, we wont beg, we will live well 6 Likes |

[quote author=VickJames post=39527721]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 weather will favour the igbos because with the increase in global warming, the sea will come to us and we wont do much in dredging the river.... U said u only comment on intelligent thread, but ur analysis of d project is very laughable, childish nd funny. It just exposd ur of lack ideas or knowledge about technilities nd processes involvd in plannin nd executn of projects of such magnitude. How wil u say such massive project can b executed witout d approval or involvment of both Rivers nd Akwa-Ibom States whose territories d Imo River traverses nd wish u wil dredge in d process? How wil u also say d dredgin won't interfer wit d life nd properties of d pipo living around it? Is it not human-beings dat own d lands nd swamps borderin d Imo River or u ignorantly think it's no-man's land? Guy, wake u 2 Likes |

[quote author=Kirigidi post=39554800][/quote] the way u are talking is asif igbos want to steal the swamp away, dont worry we wont stop activities there after all the yorubas are the most intelligent businessmen on earth so if they dont come to the east to invest the ports wont work , so we would just build it for design . So dont be scared after all are we not the gala sellers and drug dealers again who only own 2 by 2 shops? 1 Like |

Those who don't even no where or direction to south east will be saying south east is landlock.is abuja or other northern state ocean area before it developed, afterall most state in the north are developed better than south south and south west who claimed the are the owner of the Atlantic ocean.now how many people comment here all of them have shamed that's y they refused to comment |

lygn19: As much as i hate to admit it, but ure absolutely right..If Igbos play their politics right in Nigeria as Nigerians, they stand to benefit alot from Nigerian state..This project can be easily be achieved as a federal project thereby avoiding the cost being spread on the entire SE and also avoid the legal implications of criss-crossing other territories. Jonathan lost his re-election and the Igbos went beserk.Igbos practically cried more than the bereaved..Igbos cried and are still crying when the Ijaws and SS have long moved on.Time and energy Igbos would have used for building political bridges and alliances were used to nag and wail.Lemme not even mention Nnamdi Kanu and his purposeless radio. I'm happy though that some sensible Igbos are bringing up ideas but you guys will still need to play your politics at the centre right cos even with all the financial muscle, without the blessing of the FG, it is dead on arrival..And like someone opined, the Imo river passes through friendly territories. I cant wait for Anaechi to start work, ND and Ikwerre in particular should benefit from Buhari. |

Guy, where in d whole world hav u seen one state (i.e. Abia) dredgin a river dat passes or flows thru anoda state (i.e. Rivers nd Akwa-Ibom) witout legal approval frm dat state? If rivers ar no-body's assets as some of u ar assumin, den, Republic of Mali, Republic of Niger nd Republic of Burkina-Faso wuldn't hav bin "landlocked" because d "River Niger" also flows thru dia lands . They wuld hav claimd right to dredge d River frm dia lands down thru Nigeria to d Niger-Delta coast. 1 Like 1 Share |

tsdarkside: So your initial posts discouraging this initiative was borne out of fear of Igbo secession nothing more. You guys have stated that you don't need Igbos and you only need Ijaws and laughed at the prospect of Igbos having a landlocked nation, like there aren't several landlocked countries across the world. 8 Likes |
