The same cousins that left you in the cold in 1967?

Remember, OBJ was part of the leader of the team welcomed from Opobo and bonny to assault biaf from the southern front.

Well, in case you were not born then, check this out.

Olaolufred:


Actually I do not know whether they will go with Nigeria.

So also I do not know whether they will go with the theoretical Biaf.

But I know Rivers Govt renounced any support for protest like they did not support the biaf in 1967.

But I know Cross Rivers did not support the biaf in 1967, neither has there been any overtures in support of same in 2015.

However, Rivers or Akwa Ibom must be in biaf for the title of this thread to stand.

Else, biaf will only be celebrating a river port, not sea port.

So sorry if you are in any way offended.

LadyExcellency:


I am not yet interested on the subject being discussed but let me correct some wrong impression you've on this matter.

A Sea is a large body of "SALT" waters while a River is a large body of "FRESH" waters.

A Seaport is not more advantageous or better than a Riverport rather the advantage is on the size "dreggable width" it can accommodate and sustain consequently the size of ships and liners it can access and accommodate.

Regards.
Her Excellency

Olaolufred:


No, so let the action continues. We will know who is with who in the war front.

Remember, no crying again of Awolowo. Another Awo will rise. And all will be fair in war.

Start the missiles rolling. Let the path of the projectiles glow with accuracy.

Nigeria is up to the task.

IGBOSON1:


^^^There you go making assumptions again! You're assuming said Rivers and Cross River will listen to bad-belle people like you to ban ships bound for Biafra from passing through the Bight of Bonny as it's now known! Just like with the Suez and Panama canals where foreign owned and bound ships pass through and pay a toll to the Panama and Egyptian govt's respectively, all that may be required is a toll to use the Bight of Bonny water way.....nothing more!

You're also still assuming that these Niger Delta states will remain with Nigeria!

Somehow i don't see my cousins from Opobo or Bonny listening to wicked suggestions from hateful people like you or giving two fuc/ks about what you think of their relationship with their Igbo cousins!

Attached video is of international ships passing through the Panama Canal after paying the necessary fees!

the nile flowing north does not mean rivers can flow vertically north and neither can the niger be stopped from flowing south, dont know where you got that from.

the earth is not square, but spherical, so the nile flowing what seems to you to be upwards, is actually following a curve downwards along the earth's topography.

Must you be so vulgar, obscene and aggressive in order to make a point?

Learn how to engage in civil discusdion, i did not insult you in my responses, so why are you so banal?

whats with the over the top personal attacks which portray you as entirely uncouth and very primitive?

folks should learn to type without displaying bitterness all the time.


Although of course i dont know your story or what made you this way.

Please stop lying on nairaland. The main relationship you had with Bonny is that you were slaves in Bonny. Bonny kings and chiefs were middlemen slave traders for the white man as their kingdom was situated at the coast.

All slave documents and inventories still lie in the chiefs' houses with records. Bonny integrated slaves into their society too, giving many their freedom. Of this lot, Jaja was one. Slaves were allowed to live as normal and do business. Jaja grew in business and was very rich and wanted to become a chief of the Bonny house that took him in.

When they did not agree, it resulted in war. He lost that war but the king of Andoni kingdom gave him land for himself and his supporter who lost the war to settle and establish their own kingdom - they had nowhere to go to since they had just lost a war against the people who incorporated them.

Bonny people still remember you are grasping salves. They still know you don't read to get your facts right. And considering that hundreds of years ago the white man came and met their established monarchy, and did legal business for years with them, they consider you inferior to them as they are all aware it is the white man who installed warrant chiefs for you in his bid to successfully carry out colonisation.

Collecting taxes from anyone will not be problem for those Bonny people because they have done that for years from the white man through the slave trade and the palm oil trade.

I can tell you this with all confidence because although I am rivers Ijaw, I have relations who come from Bonny.

Olaolufred:


I know all you said.

I also know that we can also screen what so ever enter Nigeria's port before it can move an inch further into the hinterland.

Thank you. Her excellency.

IGBOSON1:


^^^Any time i read a so-called Rivers indigene expressing so much bile and hatred for Igbos and using the kind of hateful language against us normally used by the usual Igbo haters (we know who they are) it always raises a red flag about the persons true identity! And nine times out of ten they claim to be Ijaw!

Listen mate! When i talk of Opobo and Bonny being our cousins i'm talking of the centuries of inter-ethnic marriages, centuries of trade, centuries of cooperation that's existed between us! It's hard to find a family in Bonny or Opobo that don't have one form of blood-tie or the other to the Igbo mainland! Why does this fact rile you up so? What the fuc/k has centuries old slave trading got to do with it?

The way you go off on a psychotic inspired rant that has little or nothing to do with the issue at hand reminds me of another moniker on here -who also claims to be Ijaw- that hates Igbos with a passion and tries at any given opportunity to emphasis any perceived or real differences that may exist between Ndigbo and other ethnic groups in the Niger Delta! I know your real mission on here!!

LadyExcellency:


Let me add, it will be an act of war to prevent a country whose river flows into an ocean from assessing it.

Azumini river has it's source from Aba River hence the right under international law.

Howbeit, Nigeria reserve the right to monitor what passes through it and not even necessarily imposing duty because of the nearness to international water (Atlantic Ocean)

Igboland is landlocked and surrounded by hostile neighbours. You need to understand that.

You are s tupid. I say that not as an insult but a casual observation.You are totally devoid on any intelligence. So you believe that the NORTH IS TOP and the SOUTH IS BOTTOM? What a complete eediot.
What is the meaning of "VERTICALLY" is that some get out of jail word supposed to get you out of the idiocy you are vomiting?

lolzzzz:
every river in nigeria flow southward.

omonnakoda:
Not true although I am not sure what relevance that has to me or anything I have said so far.Any way the Yobe River flows northwards and empties into Lake hadt like I said that is not relevant to the foregoing

Abagworo:


Igboland is landlocked and surrounded by hostile neighbours. You need to understand that.

lolzzzz:
I have told igbos severally, plan without south south. Nigeria cannot stop biafra from accessing the ocean as far as IMO river is still existing. South south may not follow Igbo, Igbo should plan without them.

lolzzzz:
yeah, most rivers in nigeria flow southward.

IGBOSON1:


^^^That's a figment of your overactive imagination! tell me how Opobo, Bonny, Efik/Obibio/Annang are hostile to Ndigbo! Devious guys like you and the normal Igbo haters would want to sell this narrative and hope it's accepted as fact!

Besides, even if we were to go along with your argument that these groups are hostile towards us, how is their hostility any worse than what Igbos have suffered at the hands of the 'owners of Nigeria' and their southern allies!?

And Igboland IS NOT landlocked as far as Obuaku is concerned! What you hope for and get a bone/r thinking about is entirely different from reality!

Abagworo:


Niger republic imports through Nigeria and Benin so being landlocked is just a little problem among many. The problem is hostility. One of the reason Igbos embraced Lagos ports is the hostility of Niger Delta communities along the route from Bonny to Port Harcourt seaports. It is not Hausa sabotage as some Igbos believe but self inflicted disadvantage by these coastal communities.

omonnakoda:

I am sorry to hurt my feelings but I must know the truth. I am not very bright. Why not stick to the romance section?

tpiar:


you give yourself too much credit.

anyway, as i was saying, the reason you are having this argument is because you fail to acknowledge the fact that the earth is curved. Your insistence on saying the niger can be made to flow upwards simply because the nile flows northwards, is the flaw in your reasoning which you refuse to consider.

the fact is, the earth is curved, and any river follows this natural curve of the earth, regardless which direction your mind is telling you it went. You need to wonder, going by your "logic" why rivers are not pouring into outer space!

If you can think out of the box instead of being narrow minded, you will understand these things. And yelling, screaming, cursing till tomorrow, will not prevent me from typing what i want to type on this thread. Sorry!

Azumini shares a boundary with Eleme in Rivers where we've the federal ocean terminal. If he says 5 miles he's correct

Ekinematics:


What is all this lies. When did Eleme share boundary with any state?
