Possibility Of Biafra Surviving On Their Own by MosesIgb(m): 8:07pm On May 01, 2017
There have been an increase in the agitation of the Biafra to secede from the country and many Igbos are now having the mindset of their self survival. But there is an important question that comes to mind and which is:

What is the possibility of the Igbos surviving on their own faced with many challenges like, been landlocked and with limited landmass?

In my own opinion, the Igbos are creative people but the possibility of them surviving without a port would weaken the industrial drive they are known for. Some people would still say it still possible. But let's ask ourselves, which industrial country or giant is landlocked in the world? I would say none. This is because being landlocked is a limiting factor to major industrialization and this is due to the lack of a seaport.

The other challenge which is the limited landmass is a major setback to the actualization of Biafra. This is because we have a large population of Igbos in other parts of Nigeria and if they go back home the land and resources would be limited for their survival.

So for the actualization of Biafra, they need the support of other coastal tribes which may seem impossible or hard to achieve.

Another unity beggar on the loose crying over Biafran issue.
Leave Biafrans to languish in their landlocked region ( which is lies from pit of hell)

Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers are coastal areas and are part of Biafraland.On limited landmass,every Biafran must not relocate to the homeland;that's why we are preaching for peaceful dissolution of this contraption call Nigeria.

Presently the agitation is more from the Igbos. Akwa Ibomites and Cross Riverians were part of the Biafrans during the civil war, because they were part of the Old Eastern region. But we don't know their present stand in the formation of Biafra.

Clear case of crying more than the bereaved. Why is it that the people who aren't landlocked care so much about people who are landlocked? Is it your landlock? With all the landmass and Nigeria not being landlocked how has It helped make Nigeria better over the years?


Its really annoying when y'all start this stupid talks about landlock and landmass. Biafra has nothing but wants out and you guys keep crying and wailing over that. God help y'all

You are just one voice out of millions of people of Nig Delta that are seeking for freedom. Anyway, what you are doing is normal because, even in a family, there is always one person who frequently disagree with every issue. Afterall, there wouldn't be any word like " saboteur " if not people like you

Switzerland is a small landlocked country of just 8 million people. Switzerland has no oil but is far richer than Nigeria. Just the money Switzerland makes from financial services alone is more than what Nigeria makes in Oil sales.

Austria is a small landlocked country but is richer than Nigeria

So it is not about having land mass and Sea port, it is about having vision.

NIgeria has huge land mass and several sea ports but there is no vision which is why the masses are suffering.

Why comparing European countries with Nigeria. Can you compare Singapore with Nepal which is a landlocked country, or Lesotho with Tunisia.
Re: Possibility Of Biafra Surviving On Their Own by Sapiosexuality(m): 8:07am On May 02, 2017
How did the people who make up today's Nigeria survive before technology, before Nigeria was formed and before a port was built? That is a poor argument.

You see, the truth is, if Nigeria splits, every region and state will survive and nobody will suffer. That is not even a good reason not to secede.

I don't think Igbos leaving the country will create hunger in Nigeria or in the new nation. Even the states today with the smallest IGR survived on their own before Nigeria was formed.

Your argument is weak.

Before civilization, how did nations, landlocked ones for that matter, survive?

Was there any history of hunger and starvation as a result of the lack of the tools of civilization?

To even be honest with you, the individual states that make up Nigeria fared better, lived happily, ate well, and had more stability before Nigeria was formed.

These arguments are weak. How come these people weren't destroyed for over a thousand years staying together, without modern tools, before they were joined to Nigeria? Let's be logical.

I don't see any sense in a group with large number thinking of killing and killing each other at the slightest provocation staying together. Bro, let's be honest, is this wise?. Is the Nigerian black man really okay up stairs?

The Yorubas were living well before they were joined against their will. The Igbos were living well before they were joined against their will. Same with the Hausas. But for some reasons these people won't live well if they go back to the old path?

If some of those tribes you mentioned are found in so called "South South", what made them less BIAFRANS ?. Let me use Ijaw as an example, Asari and Other people that are clamouring for Biafra in Bayelsa, which tribe are they from ?.

If you people are so scared of staying in one country alone with the hausa fulani then you better pitch your tent now with igbos to form a united southern country where no one is more equal than the other.
