Cameroon,

And land freight through the same Nigeria territory that you hate with a passion will still be your benefactor, hope you've thought it though very well. They will just lock the border over any little annoyance and all you can do is beg.

Arab countries recently banned interaction with Qatar and even banned flights to and from Qatar and nothing happened unti they begged. Thank their stars they have seaport

Biafra and Cameroon share a common border. So dead that narrative.

What is this one talking about?
All these talk about access to sea,is it not because of commerce? abi you want to drink the sea water.

Nobody is going to drink the sea water, but being landlocked matters, that's why you find Igbo separatists writing essays up and down claiming they're not landlocked.

For one, oceans are vital for trade. It's a general rule that if you have the option to transport something by land or water, take the water route. Even with today's technology, it is much easier and much more cost-efficient to transport things by water than by land. This same logic extends to the transportation of people as well. Oceans make it much, much easier to move things from point A to point B. Any sort of transportation requires more time, effort, and money to accomplish.

With oceans being so important, landlocked nations are often at a disadvantage. This puts them in a position of being taken advantage of by neighboring nations with a coastline, and that can be rough. For example, Bolivia has to go through either Chile or Peru to get to the Pacific Ocean. This gives these nations a lot of power over Bolivia. As a result, Chile and Bolivia have historically had a very sour relationship.

Overall, being landlocked simply reduces the options that a nation has. They can't manage their own maritime trade deals, they must agree to tariffs and border taxes of neighboring nations, and they can't even build a navy. Are we starting to see how being landlocked can be a problem?

First of all, this is the historical map of Igbo land and this is what we are taking since we are able to make claims on our ancestral land.

Second of all, there is no rule against expansion. Our ancestors did it to progress and so can we

I pity the Babel republic of niger delta because they would be so easy to divide hence making them easy targets

Cry all you want, but know not one single teardrop will pass this nairaland forum

Anyways sha, you can call us onye dot for now due to the nonsense geopolitical, but when it is time for igbos to leave you will see

Is this your map drawn by Portuguese explorers or by Nnamdi Kanu?

He's the only 'freedom fighter' who doesn't seem to have a defined boundary for his 'nation.' Today he'll include Kogi people, tomorrow it'd be Benue and on the third day, ND people would say he's dreaming to have included them in his fraudulent schemes.

This is the type of map you find hanged only in the offices of people like Abaribe and iPoBic sympathizers.

How does not being landlocked helped Nigeria?

Landlocked nations are often at a disadvantage. This puts them in a position of being taken advantage of by neighboring nations with a coastline, and that can be rough.

For example, Niger Republic has to go through either Nigeria or Benin Republic to get to the Atlantic Ocean. This gives these nations a lot of power over Niger republic, which compromises its sovereignty.

Niger must, most of the times be subservient to Nigeria and Benin because of this, and any hostility would easily render its largest chunks of international trade blocked.
