Do people live 21 meters below a volume of water?

diadem10:


River state will be happy to have Ocean surge into their lands? Lmao.

Like I already stated, IMO & Fg can't do anything without River state approval.

christistruth01:


That is why it is too dangerous for Rivers State
Rivers State is a low Marshland

Supremos:
honestly you sound like a dounce and appears more as envious and devious

Christistruth00:



Why are you so desperately and greedily eyeballing other People’s Ancestral Lands?

It is not that God didn’t give you your own

Rivers People even allowed you to use their Ports

Supremos:
But we understand this isn't by a sudden flight.

The vast gas deposit in Imo and oil discoverings, including the refineries springing up in Urasi and Oguta axis could be directly linked to this development.

Nigerian government has seen they can't do without the vast oil and gas in Imo, they're bending towards opening up Imo and by extension Igboland

Supremos:
Buahhahaha. If you can show me where anyone here is "eyeballing" Rivers people land, I will take down this post. Ewu

Supremos:
Agavu, should anything called Biafra exit, it will still be an international waterway like Rhine River. You don't know anything

That's different from we're talking about. They wanna bring Ocean inside. Whichever ways, River state has to be carried along.

christistruth01:


Go and do your research

You don't own Rivers State

christistruth01:


Yes it is Rivers State Land

So if Rivers State Government tells you it is not happening, you can do nothing

Larryton:







It will eventually become landlocked if BIAFRA exit Nigeria

diadem10:


You should be asking yourself if you're nut. All Rivers empty into the ocean. Are you planning to desilt these rivers from the inside or you're planning to dredge the lands around it to bring in ocean? You dey mad?

diadem10:


Will you keep quiet? Mischievous entitled folks. You had better carry River state along instead of wanting to flush away their communities.

ysth:
does river state have its own standing army? No. Does it have its own Navy? No. Does it have its own Police? No. Shut up and watch the dredging of that river come to past.

What land use act exactly? You didn't even quote anything.

Land Use Act Chapter 202 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 1990

An Act to Vest all Land compromised in the territory of each State (except land vested in the Federal government or its agencies) solely in the Governor of the State, who would hold such Land in trust for the people and would henceforth be responsible for allocation of land in all urban areas to individuals resident in the State and to organisations for residential, agriculture, commercial and other purposes while similar powers will with respect to non urban areas are conferred on Local Governments.(27th March 1978) Commencement.

29th March 1978

Part I General

1. Subject to the provisions of this Act, all land comprised in the territory of each State in the Federation are hereby vested in the Governor of that State and such land shall be held in trust and administered for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians in accordance with the provisions of this Act.

christistruth01:



You want to dredge Rivers State Wateways without the Governors Permission?

The Panel beating and Pounding you will receive will be greater than the one Governor Wike used to reset your brains at Oyigbo

Blue3k:


You're blind then because the quote is right in front of your face. I'll cite the constitution and land use act since you're too afraid to do either. Again waterways are underthe federal domain.

diadem10:


You didn't see that all lands belong to the state there?

Blue3k:


You said it belongs to the people. I said it doesn't because it's all owned by the state hence why people are occupiers. This stupid act made it so. Waterways and interstate commerce aren't included in the land use act.

It doesn't belong to the FG hence fg can't dictate to River state. IMO have to carry River state along and get their approval.

Blue3k:


Read the constitution and stop lying for once. This is why you cant cite something to the contrary. We both know you lying about the laws. You've never read the land use act or constitution.

diadem10:


Water can't be differentiated from lands. They're the same and belong to the state.

Then why did Governor Ortom ban the Herdsmen from Grazing along the River Benue and Buhari's FG was only pleading with the Gov and Benue State to change their decision

Grgton:
they have to; assuming Nigeria is practicing true federalism where states has total control of her resources

Why can't oil producing states push for total control of oil resources??

Chapter IV Fundamental Rights

44 (3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, the entire property in and control of all minerals, mineral oils and natural gas in under or upon any land in Nigeria or in, under or upon the territorial waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone of Nigeria shall vest in the Government of the Federation and shall be managed in such manner as may be prescribed by the National Assembly.

Exclusive Legislative List:

39. Mines and minerals, including oil fields, oil mining, geological surveys and natural gas.

Grgton:
lol your comment seems as though u r pained! SE/SE are geographically inseparable.. . States creation is just to Make up a federal system..

If imo Oguta lake is getting dredged down to ocean .. it's actually a win win for RIVERS and IMO.

Apart from the Oguta lake in question, You can use Google map on urashi/Imo river, all empty to the ocean via River State

ysth:
along the river benue is land. On river benue is water. Understand simple English. The ban is on land because governors are in charge of land, but surface water is under the purview of FG
