There is this heated debate between Igbos and their surrounding neighbours- the people of the Niger Delta. Igbos are always arguing that Niger Delta is part of or under Igbo, while most people of the Niger Delta are saying they are not Igbos, they are simply Niger Deltans. Igbos say there is nothing like Niger Delta. The Ibos claim that Ikwerre, Anioma, Bayelsans, Igbanke(in Edo state) Calabar, Ijaw, Urhobos,Itsekiris are all Igbos or descendant of Igbos because they have similar culture and language. The question is, is it just because you speak similar language and have similar culture that they must be part of Biafra?  What about their own personal right, liberty and freedom of association. Can Britain lay claim to the United State of America just because Americans are speaking English or because of similarity in culture? I leave that question for the Igbos.


The argument has been on for a while. I became very inquisitive to know the root cause of these problem. So I decided to take a good look at the Nigerian map and I realized the whole of Igbo land is landlocked by Niger Delta. From what I saw Niger Delta is even two times as big as Igbo land.Igbo land is very tiny. If Igbos succeed in breaking out of Nigeria alone without Niger Delta it means Igbo will be a nation inside another nation. This is as serious as it is funny. No wonder they are dragging: Cross River , Delta, Bayelsa Rivers, Akwa Ibom and some part in Edo State. 


But of recent the people of Niger Delta have spoken with one voice saying they are not and will never be part of Biafra, instead they will fight for their own sovereign state of Niger Delta. Don't the people of Niger Delta have right to decide where they originated from, and to decide where they want to be. It will appear Igbos are fighting for their own freedom but they want to enslave the innocent people of the Niger Delta.

 

With the above argument it is clear that Igbos need Niger Delta in other to have access to the sea, Oil and to increase their landmass,  not because Niger Deltans are Igbos or their brothers or because they love the Niger Deltans.

Lesotho is a landlocked country inside South Africa, but due to they being landlocked, the depend on South Africa for somethings, like imports, and they also accept South African currency and use it, sometimes u will think the country is not independent on its own. That is how Biafra will be, the five landlocked Igbo state has limited resources, and it is landlocked, with no single assess to see for imports, to cut the story short, Biafra benefits no one

Look at the tail end of abia state well. There are two rivers that terminate at the ocean. Any can serve as a port. One of the river is at okpo in ihechiwa, the other at isu. That they are neither recognized nor utilized does not deny their existence.

americanigga:


From the map I can't see any two rivers. In fact Abia is completely blocked by Akwa Ibom

soulpeppersoup:


Go get a bigger map or better still take a vacation down to the two places I just mentioned.

One is a boundary between abia and cross river which has been a line of dispute between the citizens of these two States. The other was the major attraction of dangote in a bid to starting a cement factory at isu which has not seen the light of the day.

You have not heard about these two river outlets because the government is not interested in these area. When interest come the map will reflect it in details.

Igbo is only lansdlock to the imagination of multitude who believe Nigeria end in the city.

Why are you so obsessed about the Igbos, surprisingly today you are not found better than the Igbos, ranging from Technology,Agriculture,Sports,Education,Commerce and Entertainment .

We don't have natural resources yet you are shouting "don't let Biafra go"; is either you are deceiving yourself or sick for wanting your enemy.
