THE LAST THING FULANI AND YORUBA,WILL ALLOW IS THE VIABILITY OF SEAPORT IN THE SOUTHEAST, CAUSE IT WILL CRIPPLE THE ECONOMY OF SOUTHWEST AND PUT AN END, TO THE BILLIONS BOTH YORUBA AND FULANI MAKES IN COLLABORATION.

DOES IKWERE HAVE ACCESS TO SEA

AyakaDunukofia:
The knowledge has been in public domain that Abia state's tributary at Obuaku is nearer to the Atlantic Ocean than the Port Harcourt's. King Jaja actually used the maritime pathway to haul palm oil down the beachhead.

Having stated that, the ports at Port Harcourt and Akwai Ibom, If allowed to operate at maximum capacity, would solve Igbo merchants' problems.
The outcome would be that:

a) the proximity of these ports to the Igbo hinterland is very negligible.

b) the long distance from the east to Lagos which precipitated the need to reside in Lagos would not be there anymore. Most Igbo merchants would enjoy doing their businesses in the comfort of their palatial mansions in the east currently left for the cockroaches.

c) The city of Aba would by default become one of the biggest container terminals in Nigeria given her proximity to Port Harcourt. A distance that is about that of Tin Can Island to Oshodi.

d) Most Igbo businesses would wind down to maintaining subsidiaries in Lagos.

e) Land patronage by the Igbo in Lagos would decline.

f) the need to buy land from these contiguous port cities would not increase from what it currently is.

g) Upsurge in real estate business in Igboland

h) the removal of railtracks from the "Exclusive list" to the "Concurrent" would put SE states under pressure to link the states with rail lines.

i) More air traffic at the well-built Anambra airport. And as well as Imo and Enugu etc.

In other words, Niger, Kogi, Benue and Nasarawa states all have access to the sea...

gidgiddy:


As long as you have a water way that runs through your land to the ocean, you have access to the sea

Wether you have the resources to build a River port and do dredging is another matter entirely

By your logic, it means Niger republic and Mali have access to the sea

franchasofficia:
We all know the post-war policies made to punish Igbos and impoverish Igbos after the war but then they forgot we have a living God that never sleeps nor slumber.



Nigeria as a nation will never witness real progress until Nigerians pacify Igbos.



It is spiritual, it is not ordinary, the brazen injustice against Igbos and the wide approval from even children of today who ought to be seeking for justice and equity is one of the many reasons Nigeria will continue to struggle as a nation.

It is a problem to me because i am a bona-fide son of the soil a royal one at that so you get it.. I help lots of people till today, my WhatsApp message and Facebook is last with good day bro,. How gar how u dey? I do not ask how they are doing anymocos that initiates the billing direct. So anything to gethe the employmrate up is good for me.
Secondly having a seaport is good and i never saw where my write up said it is bad so i am saying you dont have to wait for FG. Lagos dod it alone and i see no reason the 5 southeast states cannot do it.. If it is that important to is. I also mean for tge economy the mentality of importation should be replaced woth exportation.. So please which part of my messages did you not understand?

Lol use Google earth then come back
The afikpo river or ITU river flows straight to the Atlantic Ocean via oron

Odibembem:


Through Oron you said. Is Oron Igboland? It's Oron that has access to the sea and Oron is Akwa Ibom

Ejimakor, a lawyer writes from Alaigbo.

peter0071:
for Lagos to do it, there is a political angle to it...being that it was approved and licensed by the so-called Federal government.

Anambra state built an international cargo airport (under governor Obiano) but up till date, the federal government has not given them full approval for operation.

sincerely yours, the Igbos and stackholders are really trying their best to get things done. But the powers that be are truncating most efforts

I still believe there are few people in the south east who have "the intelligence genes" in their DNA; I am only supprise as to why they allowed to be represented at large by low thinkers who cannot differentiate their left from right.

Has the Yoruba and the Fulani stop Anambra State from building the international Airport?

You people need to wake up from your dream state and start taking responsibility for your future. Start telling your governors to do the right things.

May be you should start excusing the word "Yoruba" from your rhetorics. Because it's irritating.

Oscarhakx:
a community that has a river that connect to the sea by a relatively short distance, has access to the sea. All you need is to dredge the river, to accomodate ships. This has always been done.

Oscarhakx:
its true. No one has stopped igbos from building a cargo airport. We really need to pull resources to build a world standard seaport in south east. But we need prominient igbo men to pull some string in other to kickstart this project. If we start now, it could be done in less than 5 years

How does this concern the Ikwerres?

BECAUSE THEY ARE IGBOS WHO LOST THEIR IDENTITY

Tranquill:
Mr Igbo come and tell your misguided descendants where your land begins and ends o!

They are in Okigwe, Awka, Ohambele and claiming other peoples territories as Igboland.

A Bonny guy just told me few minutes ago “What concerns someone from Awka with Bonny?”

People are now seeing clearly that the Fulani that these Igbo people keep demonising every day and night are learners compared to their greedy inclinations and tendencies to steal lands that do not belong to them.

You are too old for the stupidity you are displaying here. Where in the post, did the poster claim anywhere unjustly as Igbo land?
In case you don't understand, he was only telling you of the nearness of the rivers in Igbo land mentioned, to the Atlantic ocean, therefore we demand that any of those rivers be developed in Igboland for the use of the people and Nigerians at large.
Take time, about your hatred for the IGBOS, otherwise you will die for nothing. Don't hate a tribe that doesn't even know wether you exist or not
