If it landlocked what then will you say about the North abi is it both sealocked and landlocked

Burkina Faso is shipping through Ghana, Botswana is shipping through Namibia and South Africa, Ethiopia the same thing through Eritrea and a couple of other European countries. Just go and find out.

If these countries are doing this, what do you think of Biafra. They will ship through their southernmost neighbors if eventually their southernmost neighbors doesn't join them in their independent country. And as such their economic activity continues.

I always laugh at you guys ignorance when it comes to this Biafra landlocked of a thing.

You should even worry about the North because they are not closer to the south and the Atlantic Ocean unlike Igboland.

Dtribeless:


The author is discussing the Biafran concern, as we already know the Northerners have the same issue. Just to give you some perspective -- the SS bleeped Ojukwu up. What makes you think that will change? Igbos need Nigeria more than any major ethnic group; they are all over the place. Serious Igbos want nothing to do with Biafra; they know it will set them back 50 years. They keep quiet on Kanu because they need his agitation to get a larger slice on Nigeria's political fortunes. Again, one Biafra is declared and accepted, Igbos will be deported en masse. I have heard some Igbos banking on dual-citizenship; good luck with that.

what do you expect from an igbo man named churchill.

I dont understand where this Okonkwo guy is coming from. Lets just assume that the South East becomes an independent country, will it have acess to the Sea? People keep talking about being "landlocked" as if that is what is important. What is important is if the SE has access to the Sea, not if it is landlocked. Many people have come to believe that being landlocked is the same as not having access to the Sea, it is not. The River Niger and its tributaries are international waterways which are owned by no nation. Nothing stops the SE from building River ports in Obuaku in Abia state and Oguta in Imo state and dredging the River to the Ocean.

Another thing people dont consider is badge technology. London is the capital of Britain and handles much of Britain's export/import yet London is landlocked. But fortunately for London, it has the River Thames that runs through London to the ocean. The only thing London did was to build some River Ports then use barges to move goods in out of London via the River Thames. These barges will sail to the River Ports, collect containers, sail to where the River empties into Ocean, wait for the Merchant Ships to arrive, discharge the export containers, collect the import containers and return to the River ports. They didn't even bother to dredge the River Thames because the huge merchant Ships dont have to use the River Thames

This can be replicated in Oguta, Obuaku and even Onitsha. I dont know what the argument is all about, the SE has full access to the Sea

Trashy article written by a pitiable hack pretending to be Igbo...

He suggested the Niger Delta people will not cooperate to allow Igbos move their goods to the sea...

How absurd and narrow-minded!

US in central North America and yet both Canada and Mexico have been tapping from her Uber development and industrialization...

Don't worry about the Igbos. When we reach the bridge, we shall cross it...

you made a great point.. And no clown wants to quote you.. funny

You don't have to leave it; you'd be chased away from it. It has happened before.

Dtribeless:


Keep forecasting nonsense. Uber is a private enterprise and has nothing to do with sea access. They would let Igbos use their ports but at a price. It will be every man for themselves. All the nonsense Biafran agitation is to have exclusive rights to SS resources. This is not lost on the SS. They have bleeped Igbos up before and will do it again.

Try that we would annex Yoruba land ....our properties must be respected

You're correct; however, I tried reading through the nonsense and had gotten tired at that point. Canada, Mexico and US have nothing to do with secession.

Do Not Be Deceived: Igboland Is Landlocked And Will Face Economic Hardship By Churchill Okonkwo
It is also important to warn that landlocked Igboland should not be deceived by the success of the few rich landlocked countries like Switzerland that specializes in finance, which does not travel by boat, and its high-end manufacturing is integrated with Europe's single market.

There is no excuse, Igboman. US, Mexico and Canada have an agreement. You think the rest of Nigeria would make such an agreement with someone who wants to keep their area exclusive while having access to other areas? Plus, the thread is about being landlocked, is Canada/Mexico/Landlocked on any side? You stop wasting my time and don't respond. Greed will eventually kill you guys.

maestroferddi:
I feel sorry for you guys...

Seriously, do the Igbos look like the Igbo who would be deterred by your petty envies and bas blood?

You said we are landlocked, but we are complaining to you na...

The Igboman does not believe in impossibility...the man who was able a weapon of mass destruction from indigenous technology and found a way to refine crude oil under war conditions will do wonders if he has the liberty of being on his own without the suffocating jealousy obtainable in this contraption ..

oyatz:
You don't Know what you are saying sir.

1) Liverpool and NOT London is the main Port that is the centre of Maritime Industry in the UK.

2) You can just stroll into another sovereign Country and start dredging River Niger or Azumiri River to the Atlantic ocean.

Can the People of Niger Republic just enter Nigeria and commence the dredging of the same River Niger from Kebbi to Opobo in order to have access to the Atlantic Ocean?

3) Badges to and from London pass within the territory of the UK and not another sovereign Country .

Can the people of Lokoja just be using boat freely down River Niger into Biafra anytime and anyhow they like?
