kingzizzy:


You are asking a very stupid question. Kanu and IPOB are not armed. The easiest thing Soldiers can do is fight unarmed people, anybody with a gun can fight an unarmed person. It is actually a big disgrace on the part of the federal government that they need a whole platoon of Soldiers to go and fight an unarmed man like Kanu who only has his mouth. It showed that federal government is clueless because only a clueless government will leave all the armed groups out there, from Boko haram to killer herdsmen, and decide that it is Kanu and hiz group, who dont even have catapult and killed nobody, they will send Soldiers against

Then the Federal government made its cluelessness international when they designated IPOB a terrorist organisation, something the international community roundly rejected. The FG didnt realize that for a group to be designated terrorists, the minimum requirement is that the group must be armed. IPOB did not even meet the minimum requirement to be classed as a terrorist group since they have never been armed

In the meantime, we have other armed groups like killer herdsmen who are slaughtering people but will never be declared terrorists

Very laughable

Who begged them not to be armed, they've always promised to be armed and what is still holding them back?

Shekau makes mouth and is always at the warfront matched with action,
Kanu makes mouth with no action, just mouth, mouth and bark bark. He's also enjoying the social benefits Mama Charlie(The Queen) had provided him and his family, who wan to be suffer head?

Tale of two secessionists.
IPOB remains a terrorist group just like Boko Haram and if you're not comfortable with that, go to the nearest wall and do the needful

Hellraiser77:
Do you know about the international waters treaty?...Them no born Nigeria to block water access to any country

Till then na

Pentagon007:


There is no need to talk much on where and where will make Biafra territory. All clues as regards that are self-evident. Nevertheless, we have agreed to leave you only with territories such as Osun, Hobomosho, and Ibadan Every other area is coming with us

Good luck to that

You guys are blinded by hate and jealous that was how we ones debated mother vessel berthing in Onne Port months back till you guys were proved wrong few days ago. Go and study Danube River

Show the coastline and let us see before crying of hate and jealousy

Pentagon007:


What part of Nigeria does any of that River border?
Also bear in mind that Biafra is going with every of our kith and kin and by this, Igweocha and Asaba up to Igbo-Akiri in present day Edo.

What about Kogi and Benue, bunch of jokers.
Those rivers would still go through Nigeria, Rivers and Bayelsa especially

post=92963281:

There is existing agreement governing River Niger, River Niger is already international waterway, The Niger Basin has been governed by a series of agreements in the post-colonial era, one of the already established treaties is "the integral parts of the Niger River, should be open to international traffic, with equal treatment for nationals of all states regarding tolls. The Niger River Commission was also tasked with ensuring the safety and control of navigation and facilitating the movement of vessels." this hasn't been implemented because we are still in one nation , if every regions decide to go their separate ways, know that this is one area east and north will come together, River Niger channel is more important to north, because that's the only river from ocean that transverse to northern states, unlike east with Imo River with shortest route to the sea, north leaders know this, expect few Yorubas that chosen to be ignorant because it will favour Igbos which is more closer to the sea than the north, but the fact they can't change, the already existing treaties than govern Niger Basin Authority, we are still in one nation, that's main reason east and north are reluctant on dredging and maintaining River Niger, mind you
the Lower Niger has been dredged twice, first in 1958 by NEDECO and secondly by a consortium of LCHF/Westminster Dredging Company, in 1978 from Baro through Lokoja to Onitsha, Onya to Warri/Port Harcourt. Due to lack of maintenance, the entire dredged channel has silted up. If Nigeria cease to exist the channel will be fully dredge and maintain to accommodate bigger vessels, it's an international route and nobody will block any of the members of NBA from using, that's if Nigeria cease to exist. Your social media ranting, twisting and fabricating stories to suit your narratives can't change the fact that River Niger is an international waterway, I'm fully aware Imo River with the shortest route from the east to Sea is not yet international. waterway, but till then.

Go straight to the point next time, long epistles no good.
Whether you like it or not, the River Niger would still pass through Nigeria's landmass in Bayelsa or Rivers, do you have any agreement with Nigeria?

post=92962970:


The River Niger is the third-longest river in Africa, cut across many countries just like Danube River which empty in Black Sea, River Niger empty in Atlantic Ocean

Question is this, did the River Niger pass through Nigeria's landmass before emptying into the Atlantic, from Onitsha to the Atlantic I mean

Pentagon007:
There was a thread where really Educated this greedy and jealous minds from Waste.
He even provided Satellite imagery showing Alaigbo has access to the Atlantic ocean through IMO River, Azumini, Oguta lake and River Niger. The exposé really sank into the Ugly heads from Waste.

All the rivers you mentioned would still pass through Nigeria to the Atlantic and you need Nigeria's permission to use that

post=92962509:

Dumbo go and study Danube River, Europe's second-longest river, after the Volga serving many Countries Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine

Was there any agreement between those countries or you think they'd just start using another country's port?

horsepower102:


Educated me on what? Go and take a sit. I am not patient for your hate driven ignorance.

Igboland is landlocked, even if you're to get to Onitsha river port, you'd need to navigate through Nigeria and you need her permission to do that

post=92961429:

Go and read law that guide international waterways, you are blinded by to much ewedu you consume.

Bring up those laws here, this topic about landlocked or not had been treated here several times but you guys would always bring it up

horsepower102:


And so that doesn’t make a difference. Go and study international laws on transnational rivers. No one can stop igbos from accessing the open sea if they gain independence. This has been well researched by me and so many others. This is why we are confident we can do it on our own.

The only ones stopping us is you Nigerians scared of your future without us in it.

If you don't have any prior arrangement with Nigeria to use her landways and waterways, you are OYO.

post=92960634:

So what are you trying to say The Containers will arrive Onitsha via River Niger, which is international waterways and can be dredge to contain bigger vessel that can barth in Onitsha direct, this is what we have been saying, for ignorant minds that were saying east is landlock.

Do you realize that before you navigate your smaller boat to the River Niger enroute Onitsha, you'd have to go through the tributaries of the River Niger in Bayelsa or Rivers before getting to your "international waters"?
Igboland is landlocked, take it or leave it.

horsepower102:


Any area of land that has navigable access to the open sea is not landlocked. Please do your research on how landlocked is defined both in dictionary and internationally.

Continue deceiving yourself

horsepower102:


There are old pictures of onitsha that had ships docking around that waterfront. This was during colonial times when technology wasn’t that great. Not to talk of today. Deep down, they know that they have lost the landlocked argument but they have to save face on an anonymous forum.

Also Niger River meets the definition of international waterway but their mods kept on closing the threads that was trying to educate them.

You want to start your landlocked and international waters argument as usual again? You and your likes have been educated about it in the past but you insist on your whatever

HoldMyHand:
God bless them

What happened to your other and older monikers?

AsomughaChuks05:
It is not an Umahi vs Obiano thing. Ebonyi/Abakaliki people have for long haboured animosity toward Anambra. I don't know why. You hardly see them build houses in Anambra state unlike Enugu, Imo or Abia people. But most of the street urchins, hawkers, and conductors are them. I don't know if they blame Anambra people for their situation but it is totally uncalled for.

You're right in a way, just that I hate comparing sister states, I rather pick out the individuals and in this case, it is Umahi and Obiano.
Obiano is supposed to be the chairman of the SE governors forum as the longest serving governor but he refused, he doesn't even attend their meetings.

flyingpig:
There is sense in what he said. In Nigeria, justice is bought with money, and Ebonyi man can't get justice in a police zone located among money bags(Anambra state). There is a more chance of equal playing ground under Umuahia Zone. Also, Umuahia is closer to Ebonyi than Anambra state.

The reasons he gave are insane and moreover, this shouldn't be coming from a public figure, a governor of a state at that.

Theevilone:

Pls I haven't heard about this renaming of this Abakiliki road before tell me

https://www.nairaland.com/4570978/umahi-condemns-renaming-abakaliki-street

Just imagine coming from a governor and now this, I don't know Umahi's problem with Obiano and good enough Obiano is not the talking type and hardly attends SE governors forum. Umahi should tell us the problem he has with Obiano

AsomughaChuks05:
Ebonyi/Abakaliki people have an unhealthy inferiority complex. Imagine what their governor is saying about a fellow Igbo state.

In fact I'm so perplexed by those silly reasons, just hoping he didn't say such nonsense and he sends someone to debunk this.

Thank God this is coming from the number one citizen of Ebonyi state because if it was from an ordinary citizen of Anambra now, they'd all accuse Anambra and Ndi Omambala as flouting one useless superiority complex when they are the ones suffering from inferiority complex.

Imagine a governor giving silly reasons to be moved back to Umuahia and citing too much money in Anambra. This was how they displayed their inferiority complex during that Abakaliki street/Court road renaming in Awka.

Emyogalanya:
Indeed after fed government has developed yours for you now you want us to use our own hand to develope it ? The same government must do our own too. Or then let us go so we can now do it on our own

Go na or is anyone holding you back?

MelesZenawi:




“The unemployment rate among states in the South-south is as follows: Akwa-Ibom 45.2%; Bayelsa 27.8%; Cross River 31.6%; Delta 40.3%, Rivers State 43.7 and Edo 19%,” the report said



Akwaibom leads in unemployment as Rivers state trails from behind..

Kudos ..

These SS states are a huge disappointment

benobyeze:
These people are blind. They are not representing the interest of the South East. Till date the federal government has not done any visible project in the South East.

So you've not seen videos and pictures of the second Niger bridge, Enugu airport or what? Always lying against Buhari doesn't always make it the truth.

TheZooHasFalln:
Yet we remain the greatest freedom fighting group in the history of mankind. We have done what you and your poor coward father can not do.

Greatest freedom fighting group and your god and saviour Nnamdi Kanu couldn't come home to bury his parents.

Notasyouthink:
Lol@ independent thinker... Do you really know what it means/takes to be an independent thinker??

You claim to be an independent thinker but you're championing for what a white criminal ( lugard and Co.) created to continue existing.

You are an independent thinker that wants to remain as slave to Britain and Fulani, I will not say Hausa because since the creation of this contraption by lugard and Co. Am not sure that a core Hausa man has ruled this shithole.

You are an independent thinker but you don't know that you are a slave.

You are an independent thinker but your thoughts are being manipulate and manufactured by, whatever junk lie Mohammad and asorock fed you clap for yourself.

IPOB is annoying to you because they are championing for the freedom of the oppressed people which you don't want because, in your feeble mind what a white man (lugard) created is supreme than what a black man (Nnamdi Kanu) is trying to create/created.

Igbos are miscreants but they are tormenting you and your beloved country nigger-area

The bitter truth is that, you're not better than anybody in IPOB so, stop raising your shrinked shoulders.

Ezi ohia!

After reeling out your epistle according to saint Nnamdi Kanu, can you just simply tell us when your Biafra would be.

Tell Nnamdi Kanu to stop his nonsense and fight for Biafra instead of this history class he loves people like you to be listening to everyday without telling you how he's getting Biafra

So Kanu and IPOB are still looking for what is not missing, story of Aisha's BF continues but how he's getting Biafra has long been forgotten.
Shame on him,IPOB and their brainwashed supporters

ayenale1:
OUK will definitely contest the APC primary against Tinubu but ill prefer OUK to carry the day than Tinubu that will make Nigeria his pocket milking machine together with his family members.

Abia will be taken over by APC in 2023 im very very sure.

Has Tinubu or even OUK told you they want to contest for the presidency, if not, why peeing already on yourself?

Joshmuch:
What qualifications or merit does Tinubu have?

Had Tinubu or even the VP told you that they're running for the presidency? If not, why peeing on yourself already?

Igbovibes270:
It's either full inclusiveness by giving the Igbos the president or full secession by allowing the Igbos have their Biafra, are there no credible Igbos in APC, Nigeria will break by force if Igbos are not giving the tickets in 2023 regardless of the political platform or we should be allowed to conduct a refredum, those who wants to stay in this evil contraption can stay

Leave, hat's all Nigerians want from the SE, leave and don't look back.

TheZooHasFalln:
What a huge sacrifice just to uphold the fraudulent unity who says IPOB is not Powerful? If you can ignore sentiments and face the facts, you will agree that the North before now were boasting of continuing with power for more years, but the latest unquenchable heat from IPOB has made them to succumb to our resoluteness. But the unfortunate thing is that they came very late, there's no going back on our determination for the ultimate restoration of Biafra, the blood of IPOB members they wasted can not be wished away for useless presidency, like the one who shot on 20th January 2016 in Rumola PH during the IPOB solidarity match for the inauguration of President Donald Trump, he shaded tears while we held him at the point of his death, he asked us never to allow his death be in vain, that we must make sure that we restore Biafra as that's the only way he can rest in peace, and we promised him never to stop at anything than total restoration of Biafra, and till tomorrow nothing can quench the zeal in us. Biafra or Nothing

Not again......abeg when are you IPOBians leaving for good? Una chestbeating don tire everybody, just give date and move with no disturbance.

Muna4real:


Oga I am trying to make nndigbo see reason why they should stop the restructuring and presidency chants and go for a republic. If you don't like it, you can kindly leave the thread, or hit your head on a transformer pole.

Just as some posters had earlier said, go get the Biafra you want either through your reps at the national assembly or declare your Biafra and stop boring everyone with your noise
