Rexnegro:

they are still landlocked forget the small water body u are seeing so

Powersurge:



your stupidity is raised to power. if you can't comprehend simple thing, I am not responsible for your misfortune. still asking stupid question. can't you that Enugu has access to the sea? idiot.

nextstep:


Er... from Wiki: (especially of a country) almost or entirely surrounded by land; having no coastline or seaport.

Landlocked countries may have a river that they can use (usually through another country).
Technically, you can't go from sea to SE without going through the Niger via SS.
Same thing if Kogi wanted to be a country or region... the landlocked definition would still apply even though it touches the two main rivers.



It is, unless you're imagining that Rivers and Akwa Ibom are part of SE, or that having a river means you're not landlocked. You typically need a coastline or seaport to be considered non-landlocked, according to the definition.

goldust777:

Do you know what landlocked even means geographically gala brain

frowland:


Since you dont know let me educate your blockhead. Landlocked areas are states or territories surrounded by other states or territories.
Example...
Imo state is landlocked (My state)
Anambra is landlocked
Lagos is NOT landlocked
Rivers is NOT landlocked
Biafra states IS LANDLOCKED
Poland is Landlocked
Spain is NOT landlocked
China is NOt landlocked
Morocco is NOT landlocked
Kano is Landlocked
NIGERIA is NOT Landlocked
CHAD is Landlocked
etc etc etc etc etc.
So stop making yourself look stupid. Insults are for people who lack ideas.

Forget the face. The fact still remain that, we Igbo's love Buhari so much now. There are Federal Projects scattered across the East.

Let's assume for a second that a future Biafra would be without the Efik, Annang or the Igbo sister tribe of Ikwerre. In that situation, Biafra would rely on it's natural outlets to the sea; the distances of which are way way below the united nation's benchmark for qualification as a landlock country.

Alright, the distance from Onitsha to the sea is about 100 nautical miles. From Azumini in Abia state is 25 nautical miles, the stretch of this body of water was used by King Jaja of Opobo. He was as well arrested at the estuary of this stretch. Oguta lake is another one, a few kilometers to the sea, about 45 nautical miles. The Nigerian army, during the war, navigated this body of water to gain entry into the Igbo heartland.

On the other hand, the nearest country to the sea recognised by the UN as landlocked has a distance of 500 miles. Therefore, the United Nations, following the provisions of the customary international law, would not classify a Biafra without the current South South as landlocked as any small water way of less than 100 miles to the sea, would become an international waterway.

See the list of distances to the sea recognised by the UN as landlocked.

the area where the river niger empties into the ocean belongs to the warri people it does not belong to the igbo people. if u want access to the sea it has to be with the consent of the people at the who own the area where the river enters the ocean. this is a simple thing why is it difficult for u to understand

You are just trying very very hard to be right. SE states is Landlocked, its as simple as buying bread and butter.
Stop adding up other region to feel right.
Its just like a mor0n will pop out of no where to tell us that Poland is not landlocked because they were formally USSR. What a joke.
The five SE states (Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi) are Landlocked, its as simple as that. Omo, some people are irredeemably stupid.

Isn't life wonderful? A Fulani man is building a bridge for igbo man to continue his economic wandering to the western afonja territory mostly Tinubu's prosperious progressive state (which they love to envy)..

The sweetest part about this project is that it is going to be a tolled PPP bridge, and we shall all know the real economic almajiri between the West and the East, we shall clearly see who pays more toll between Igbo and Yorubas, we.shall see clearly who would cry in pains whenever there is price hike in the toll tickect price..


Well, i hope they speed up the process as blocked part of Niger River is causing flood and over flow into the main land

Lol, seems you dont know what landlocked area means?

Yyeske:
I don't think you even understand what you wrote, who told you that being landlocked has anything to do with the distance to the sea or ocean?
FYI, it could be 1 metre or 100 kilometers, if you don't have a coastline you are landlocked and would rely on the goodwill of your neighbours to use the sea because it is their property and you can not trespass. If all the rivers that traverses Igboland drain into the Atlantic, Igboland is still landlocked

Go and do research on UN The terms international waters or trans-boundary waters apply where any of the following types of bodies of water (or their drainage basins) transcend international boundaries: oceans, large marine ecosystems, enclosed or semi-enclosed regional seas and estuaries, rivers, lakes, groundwater systems (aquifers), and wetlands.

International waters (high seas) do not belong to any State's jurisdiction, known under the doctrine of 'Mare liberum'. States have the right to fishing, navigation, overflight, laying cables and pipelines, as well as scientific research.

Oceans, seas, and waters outside national jurisdiction are also referred to as the high seas or, in Latin, mare liberum (meaning free sea). The Convention on the High Seas, signed in 1958, which has 63 signatories, defined "high seas" to mean "all parts of the sea that are not included in the territorial sea or in the internal waters of a State" and where "no State may validly purport to subject any part of them to its sovereignty."[2] The Convention on the High Seas was used as a foundation for the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, signed in 1982, which recognized Exclusive Economic Zones extending 200 nautical miles from the baseline, where coastal States have sovereign rights to the water column and sea floor as well as the natural resources found there.
The high seas make up 50% of the surface area of the planet and cover over two thirds of the ocean.[4]

Ships sailing the high seas are generally under the jurisdiction of the flag state (if there is one);[5] however, when a ship is involved in certain criminal acts, such as piracy,[6] any nation can exercise jurisdiction under the doctrine of universal jurisdiction. International waters can be contrasted with internal waters, territorial waters and exclusive economic zones.

Other international treaties have opened up rivers, which are not traditionally international waterways.

The Danube River is an international waterway so that landlocked Austria, Hungary, Moldova, Serbia, Romania, and Slovakia can have secure access to the Black Sea.

juvewalex:
11.9 kilometers bridge is taking years to be constructed. Kudos to this administration though.

TundeBricklayer:

Ignoramus once there is coastline from East that connect to main ocean it means southeast isn't Landlock, if Nigeria cease to exist today that coastline will be declear international waterway, essentially limiting national rights and jurisdiction over the oceans to a narrow belt of sea surrounding a nation's coastline. The remainder of the seas was proclaimed to be free to all and belonging to none. Go and read the law of UN ocean and Sea, River Niger coastline doesn't stop in Southeast.

Landlock means is a particular state or country completely surrounded by land or there coastlines to the sea is blocked, which is not the case of Southeast, you guys should stop fooling yourselves.
