Alright, as long as the river that flows through Igbo land can support a flying boat, everyone will be okay. At least they can still dredge those rivers to take pontoons, even if it does not take a ship.



Erm...is Port-harcourt part of Igbo land?

Port Harcourt is whose land?

ezeaguisforever:


Port Harcourt is whose land?

Ikwerre

1. Is Port Harcourt part of Biafra?

2. Does Port Harcort have direct access to the ocean?

Its like asking: Can ship get to Ikeja? Is it through the gutter or through 3rd mainland

Don't ask, tell us whether Port Harcourt has direct access to the ocean or not.

ezeaguisforever:

Port Harcourt is whose land?

It is partly Okrika/partly Kalabari, and the upland side which is not even near the waterside is inhabited by the Ikwere people, who keep telling everyone that they are not Igbo, but Ikwerre. Igboland is composed of the 5 south-East states and Anioma region of Delta.

If you doubt me, ask HopeAtHand or TonyeBarcanister to explain better to you.

Ikwerre

And did these indigenous people fight the pro-Biafra protesters that have demonstrated several times on their land?

Flying boats to be used to service the economy of an entire country?

You have made my night bro.
Thanks

The indigenous Abuja people too didnt fight pro-Biafra protesters that must mean Abuja is part of Biafra

Ships can't get to Port Harcourt?

That's one of my major problem with ipob youths; you can't force people into your Biafra. The port at Rivera state is at onne and it's Nigerian territorial waters; are you going to force them to be part of Biafra?

If the method of getting Biafra is by peaceful resolution, they will opt to remain in Nigeria. If its through war, threatening and mad riots, you are not equiped or ready for war.

The Ikwere part isn't near the waterside? Is that what you read on wikipedia or is that the reality of the situation. Where were the Igbo denying Ikwere when Biafra protesters demonstrated in Port Harcourt?

sleekdot:

Biafra protesters were protesting in Abuja for it to be part of Biafra?

Maazi, if you know Port-harcourt waterside very well, you will know that it is the Okrika people that stay there. The Ikwerre are mostly found at Diobu, and the environs. The fact that the Igbo demonstrated in Port-harcourt does not mean the Okrika and Ikwere have renounced their own identity and ethnicity. Did the Abuja indigenes automatically become Igbo, when the pro-Biafra group demonstrated there?

Uncle, check it critically nah.

sleekdot:


Where in that map did anywhere touch the ocean? Or because one gutter pass through Ibo land means its not landlocked?

For any ship to reach Biafra it must pass through Nigeria, thats the definition of landlocked

Funny guy
So u think if Biafra leaves Nigeria that Niger Delta will remain.
Dre is access to ocean from Igbo land, it will only require massive investment in dredging and agreement with the Neighboring Country which will be ND republic or whatever funny name dey call dm selves I.e. if dey re not part of Biafra.

But that's nonsense though, there's an actual port in Port Harcourt, hence it's name, Port Harcourt, it's in the name. Secondly, have you asked yourself why no port is on the actual sea front?

Port Harcourt belongs to all Nigerians who live and work there...after all said and done, we are all humans looking for survival..we contribute our quota wherever we find ourselves and exit this world when the time is due..no need wasting time on unnecessary arguments that doesn't add anything meaningful..tnx

What does that have to do with Port Harcourt wharf?

So you're trying to say that if the Biafra protesters went to Gwari land and some Gwari people joined them in demanding Abuja be part of the Biafra plan, that would work?

Not to mention some of these countries use navigable rivers to alleviate their 'lockedness'.

From the British Council.

"Not having coastline is not so critical if you can get to somebody else’s seaport via a river. In Europe the landlocked Austrians can reach the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp or Marseilles by inland waterway, and of course they can use the River Danube to go east. The Czechs can go down the River Elbe to Hamburg, the Slovaks to Polish ports. Adam Smith said that European industrialization only started in the 18th century because of the existence of navigable rivers.

In central Asia or Africa, however, having a river that takes you from the interior to the sea is very rare. And this seems to make all the difference. There are 42 landlocked countries in the world. The United Nations classifies 30 of them (71%) as developing; and all except one of these are in Africa or Asia. None of these thirty are major exporters of manufactured goods. Why? Some economists estimate that these countries pay between 30% and 50% more in transport costs than coastal nations. In Asia, it is not only transit routes but oil and gas pipelines that are affected if their neighbours decide to charge a high price to let them pass through their territory to get to the sea.

So what can these countries do to escape the disadvantage of being landlocked? You can’t move mountains or make rivers, but perhaps other means of transport can be improved. The United Nations has its own High Representative to look at ways of improving cooperation from those countries that stand between the landlocked and the sea, most recently at an international meeting in Almaty, Kazakhstan in August 2003. The European Union gives money to help develop road and rail routes from the African interior to ports on the East and West coasts."

And no one has answered why there are no actual coastal ports in Nigeria yet.

Oga, use your inner church mind check am critically, nah. If the people whose ancestral land, the Port-harcourt wharf was built on are the Okrikas, does it mean that the Igbo now own the Port-harcourt wharf or the waterside??

And nobody has said that the Gwari people of Abuja are likely to join the Biafra protest, because there is no basis for them to do so. You too, check am nah. on what basis, would the Gwari join the protests in Abuja? That is not just possible. What would be the basis of their joining? What reason would they give for doing so??

There's no need for long grammer:

Federal Ocean Terminal (FOC), Onne.

Federal Lighter Terminal (FLT), Onne.

Let's hear the name of the port in port Harcourt and its address.

Switzerland's case is different o. It has 3 ports on the banks of the Rhine river which connects it directly to the sea. Its own river is bigger than all the rivers in our own side of Nigeria.

None of your answer is Ocean

So the answer is perfectly Land locked with a master key in the hand of Nigeria

Are kidding yourself? And you're here arguing about how Igboland is landlocked, a country which has the Urashi, Imo, New Kalabar, and Cross River, not even talking about the Niger and you're now making a case for one of the most well known land locked countries in the world because of the Rhine?
