Quick google search indicate Ghana GUTA is quick to shut down Nigerian business in Ghana.

very strange, jumpy-up and down, shouty folks

This is one of the reasons why the border would remain shut and please madam Abike Dabiri shouldn't interfere in this before Ghanaians would start rejoicing that Nigeria came begging.

chrisagyei:
You Nigerians are very funny oo.I already told you that GUTA already hate you and had just gotten the perfect opportunity to get all Nigerian competitors and traders out from Ghana. Remember that Ghana is already 30 million people and has the second largest economy in West Africa and higher GDP per capita than Nigeria. There're more than 4 million Nigerians living and working in Ghana together with their families. Ghana doesn't really produce anything for exports into West Africa except some few alcoholic companies. Now if these millions of Nigerians living in Ghana are frustrated and forced out of Ghana, your same people will be shouting ECOWAS and xenophobia. Now let's see if any Nigerian will shout ECOWAS again. Just this year,just 400 Nigerian shops and businesses were locked in just one spare parts town in another city called Kumasi alone and you people were all over the place. You wannabe giants were mocking our leaders that they're begging you. For them they always want peace just like the South African leaders try to make peace buh we the people of Ghana don't want to see you Nigerians in our country and don't even care or heard of any border closure .F**k peace. That's the honest situation on the ground .Seriously I love my country Ghana more than myself." God Bless our Homeland Ghana, And Make Her Great And Strong ".I hate to see my fellow brothers and sisters from Nigeria insult my nation Ghana.

Quote whatever figures you feel like and do whatever you like doing to Nigerians, the border remains shut till you all have sense. If you like deport the "4 million" Nigerians in Ghana, the border remains shut till you all have sense.
You can't determine what Nigeria does within her borders to survive but you want us to continue undermining our survival just to please you and grow your economy while ours loses, just don't start the wailing yet, you still have a long way to go and please inform your police to stop unlocking those shops please.

efighter:
Are you into smuggling of contraband goods and hard drugs or human trafficking? Those are the people suffering.

You're just too fast, I was about asking same question before you did.

Tobichimezie:
Look at there shameless revisionist talking about hate, honestly you're very lucky I've not met you in person yet...Bloody piece of shIt

The insult won't be tolerated next time, be guided. Make your point and wait for a reply.
And if you meet me in person what would you do, please chest beat, I want to know.

Tobichimezie:
Any Ibibio person that uses "Okoro" to refer to an Igbo person, is either a mentally unstable person, or simply not a true Ibibio son( I know this cause I grew up among my Ibibio brothers and sisters), lots of my family members are married to Ibibios... we all know which tribe are known to call Igbo's "Okoro"... we're not fools here dude.

....but we call anyone from that area onye Calabar, does it mean everyone from that region is from Calabar?
OK if you say they use " Okoro" for Igbos then what do they use because I'm ready to learn.

ZZ22:
You guys have been wasting your time engaging one guy with different handles in this thread. Anywhere Biafra bell rings Yyeske aka area4area gets frustrated and employ his "we the south south" handles to ease off his frustrations. I wondered how a sane person would spend 24/7 on every Biafran thread but later realized he is a mod.

E pain am, you spend your time 24/7 monitoring my presence on nairaland, how jobless.
I've never claimed SS, I've always been Anambra, go through my older Yyeske moniker I no longer use.
Most of you hate the truth and you hate when people dispel your lies

kotv:
I’m from river state so, it’s easy to know he or she isn’t what he or she said he or she is. Sadly, there’s too many of people like him or her on this website.

I'm from Rivers, Borno, Kano, Lagos, FCT too.
Let's claim anywhere, it's our right here on an anonymous site

oyatz:
If Biafra seceed, there won't be any Nigeria left. At least four other countries will emerge from the remaining part of Nigeria.

Let me agree with your high assumptions, how are you sure any of the remaining four would even want to cooperate with your Biafra?
You think the SS minorities don't understand your game plan, what you want is that you leave and they leave as well then if they don't agree with you on issues on access to sea etc then you invade and annex their land, continue dreaming bro

IGBOSON1:
Hehehehe

You just checkmated the irritable slimeball!

Hate speech against a Nairalander, mods please take note

IGBOSON1:
You frightened, parasitic and bigoted 'one Nigeria' schmucks haven't even convinced yourselves on the viability and sustainability of your shithole, never mind trying to do the impossible of truncating the Biafran dream!

'Biafra is all noise', yet you and your sad ilk have been on this thread for days banging your head on the wall and insisting a potential Biafra would be 'landlocked' and frustrated by 'one Nigeria'! Is this the response one gives to something they see as 'inconsequential'?

Fact of the matter is Biafra scares the shi't out of you evil lot, and your hope is that if peradventure it becomes a reality, that it would comprise of just 'your 5 south-east states' and would be hemmed in and surrounded by a hostile Nigeria! How you managed to convince your deluded self that the likes of Annang/Ibibio/Efik, Ijaw, Ogoni, Opobo, Bonny, etc would be a party to your diabolical plans of trying to frustrate Biafra shows just how detached from reality you are!

If you believed yourselves you would long have agreed to a referendum for just the south-east states instead of sending down truckloads of red-eyed Fulani soldiers in the name of python dance to shoot at innocent agitators!

You can see the pure hatred and bile you just spilled out and why those people you are trying to claim would continue to hate Igbos, I blame OBJ for removing the teaching of history in schools when he was a military head of state, if not, you'd have known how the Igbos fared in those places during the war.
Try asking your parents and other elders who lived with them then.
Have you read or asked about the fall of Calabar, PH during the war, how Igbos had to run into the hitherlands, some with only the clothes on their back.
Stop deceiving yourself and please ask around and also stop spewing hate comments that you know would make people angry

kotv:
No actual ND use that image you just posted. That was made by the media to represent militants incase you weren't aware for your next pretense.

Do yourself a favor and stop pretending to be from SS. We can tell who is actual from ND. It's easy and even the blind can see you aren't. Got confirmed by checking. No actual SS will make comments as this. Be smart and use a different handle when next you make your religious and terrorist thoughts.

Provide a proof that you are from wherever you claim to come from.

gidgiddy:
Article 125 subsection (2) has already covered the part that the coastal nation will have to reach an agreement with the landlocked country

The aim of quoting UNCLOS is for those who think that in the event of Biafra, Nigeria will have the absolute right to bottle up Biafra and deny it access to the sea if they so wish. Nigeria has no such right(s)

Theres no point talking about Niger that may well have agreements with any of their french speaking neighbours

@the first bolded, Biafra would not have any access without any agreement with Nigeria so that Nigeria can slam her imports and exports with whatever tariffs Nigeria deems fit, Biafra would take it or leave it. Nigeria may decide that Biafra can only use her seaports so that her goods going in or out would be inspected at any of her seaports Biafra would be using.

@the second, truly no need talking about Niger republic who may have agreements with other countries unlike Biafra that must have that AGREEMENT with Nigeria only because it would be an enclave within Nigeria.

Limitless72:
We don't hate anybody......
You getting the message wrong
You need to understand the intricacies of the Igbo's society.
Once we don't like you, we don't feign it...!
This dislike is also triggered by some irk attitude from the hatee...


I'm Igbo and don't support Biafra....
It still doesn't that I would talk ill of them.
They're my brothers man....!!!!!

Igbos online have been preaching hate as perpetuated by Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, even Igbos who disagree with them are not left out from the hate.
You sow hate and you reap hatred. You could dislike someone but you don't go about calling the person all sorts of names even to his hearing, that is pure hatred.
Karma is at play for now though I'm not in support for such

oilPUSSY:
You are such a very weak and dull impostor..
At least if you want to claim Akwai Ibom man, do that with intelligence and tact so that people won't suspect you, but unfortunately afonjas won't disappoint. They will always exhibit afonja threat knowingly or unknowingly.

You claim to be from Akwa Ibom but call Igbos Okoro forgetting the fact that Akwa Ibom people whom you are impersonating bear the same name ( Afonja you can check the names of Justices that presided over Atikus' case for confirmation) Don't forget to thank me for teaching you what you don't know because you haven't left your brown roof enclave..

Again, Akwa Cross people are not frustrated and broken which is reflection of what you are because your comments are filled with sadness and depression.. Its reflecting all over your comments.

Next time if you want to be an Impostor, check and learn everything about people you intend to impersonate to avoid further embarrassment..

It semns your Ekpeitit moniker is currently blocked ?

I won't stop blaming IGBOSON1 and Tobichimezie for not for not perceiving ewedu that's smelling all over your comments

We all know that Okoro is used by many southern Nigerians to describe Igbos just as we describe the people of Akwa-Cross as onye or ndi Calabar so stop being clever by half

Taba21:
The faceless online forum's will put soon your peoples on a checkmate in port Harcourt.
Keep talking anyhow.

Most of them don't understand and they won't ask the older generation what happened to Igbos in PH, Calabar, Uyo etc in 1967

DMerciful:
I am not saying you guys are wrong but I'm saying if Amadu Bello, Balewa, Awolowo, Enahoro really believed it was necessary to add the clause, how then can they allow one man against 4 to have his way? Unless they weren't convinced themselves! They were all responsible either by commision or omission!

We all agree that Zik was a Superman but who is IPOB blaming today and who are those crying for the same things he refused? Rejoining in face of defeat.

The companies and firms have no name?
Smugglers and foreigners would continue to cry till they behave

DMerciful:
If they tow that line to blame Zik, they indirectly indict their leaders for incompetence and ineptitude! Its preposterous!

https://www.nairaland.com/4376735/zikist-movement-reacts-ipobs-accusations

Zik was at fault for what he did and IPOB talked against him and the zikist movement for their involvement

gidgiddy:
Nigerians pick up the map of Nigeria and look at it but what they dont see are the water ways. If you look at a proper map of Nigeria with its water ways, you will see that Oguta in Imo state and Obuaku in Abia state have tributaries that run from them to the Atlantic Ocean. River posts can be built in those two places in addition to the one that already exists in Onitsha.

Portharcourt has a Sea port but that port is not even by the Sea

Let's say for example that the 5 SE states is what eventually becomes Republic Of Biafra, Nigeria cannot stop Biafra building River ports in Obuaku and Oguta nor deny them access to the Sea via those ports.

The simple reason is that Article 125 of UNCLOS mandates Nigeria to give Biafra access to Sea via Biafran water ways. That same UNCLOS is what gives Nigeria the right to its territorial waters. So Nigeria cannot choose to uphold one part of the law and ignore the other part.

Article 125 of UCLOS states:
Article 125
Right of access to and from the sea and freedom of transit
1. Land-locked States shall have the right of access to and from the sea
for the purpose of exercising the rights provided for in this Convention
including those relating to the freedom of the high seas and the common
heritage of mankind. To this end, land-locked States shall enjoy freedom of
transit through the territory of transit States by all means of transport.
2. The terms and modalities for exercising freedom of transit shall be
agreed between the land-locked States and transit States concerned through
bilateral, subregional or regional agreements.
3. Transit States, in the exercise of their full sovereignty over their
territory, shall have the right to take all measures necessary to ensure that the
rights and facilities provided for in this Part for land-locked States shall in no
way infringe their legitimate interests

So anybody who thinks that Nigeria will have the right to bottle up Biafra and deny it access to the sea is just a dreamer

Stop boring us already with your charters abeg, Nigeria has exclusive right to the sea, 12 Nautical miles from her coast and no country can use it including the US, Russia, Britain, China etc without a permission from Nigeria.

Niger republic is landlocked yet Nigeria closed her border and seaports to her, why is Niger not sueing Nigeria, maybe you feel that world politics revolves around charters that can be revoked at the drop of a pen.

Your number 2 point is what I've been trying to tell you all the while, you must have an agreement with Nigeria before using her land and territorial waters at sea.

Malawian:
River Niger is already an International Water. There is a fully functional Niger River Port in "Landlocked" Mali. Google it. The only reasons they don't sail out through Nigeria's end of the River Niger is Piracy, Non Dredging/draft, the snaking of routes in the creeks , but more because of distance. It is faster to exit the continent on the other end of the River Niger for Mali and other landlocked Countries using the River Niger.

Lol, indeed.
Let Niger and Mali sail their ships through the Niger river into Nigeria without any prior agreement and see what happens, anyway they ain't that daft to try such in the first place.

pazienza:
Well, at least we have a rational thinker here.

Just accept that Zik was a super man with a super human ability to persuade and "confess" people into doing things, even against their own wish. #Okwu agwula

Good enough but why are his people, the Igbos complaining today?
Why can't they accept that their Zik was a Superman, even IPOB had lashed out at him and the zikist movement for refusing the de-amalgamation as suggested by Ahmadu Bello and equally refused the referendum and secession as suggested by Awolowo.

Who are those crying for referendum and secession today?
Zik was myopic and lacked foresight to see into the future because he wanted to be the leader of the most populous black nation on earth.

When i have time im going to follow up and verify this rule you quoted.

I trust you but i have to inspect it and be sure no fast one is pulled.

No need stressing yourself, the case is simple.
Akwa-Cross and Ijaws are not going with Biafra nor forming any country,
If Biafrans ship their goods from say Onitsha, Oguta or Obuaku,
The ship gets to sea after passing through Ijaw and Kalabari land which are Nigerian,
The open sea Nigeria controls is 12 nautical miles(22.224 km) from her coast, that is Nigeria's territorial sea and how would Biafran ships pass through without any agreement or permission from Nigeria? Imagine passing through Nigerian land and sea territories and that one is shouting one treaty or the other.

MetaPhysical:
You are applying for recognition under indegenity rules for native people. Are you not aware of this?

So, once you are granted right of indigeneous independence you will be excluded from infringing or accessing or occupying or having claims to native lands and indigeneous groups outside Biafra.

The entry waters from sea up the delta into the hinterland belong to a indigeneous people and they are not Biafrans.

Those indigenes have claims like you do to have their space respected and excluded from your access.

Beside, even if you are given access, we will build gates at the sea entrance and toll your ships in and out.

I decided not to reply him because I've educated him on this topic on maritime and sea sovereignty but he prefers to repeat the lies as if it will become the truth with time

Malawian:

With an Independent Biafra, those waterways becomes "international Waters"

lol, just as Ghanaians and Cameroonians can use Nigerian waterways today.

jimyjames:
No doubt, nairaland Onitsha well done, you sound like a grave digger, pant seller, human body part Merchant, from the W side

Enough of the Enugu and Onitsha talk before we derail, thread is about what Igbos would lose if they decide to secede from Nigeria.

You don't need to tell me what you do for a living

jimyjames:
You don't know Enugu at all my friend, even this Onitsha you are mentioning up and down I bet you don't know

I'll sell you in Onitsha dear, I did my internship in Enugu and relocated to this great city.

jimyjames:
Lol you are dull my friend I can't waste my time with you, you have never been to Enugu the capital of Enugu, else you will know I just gave you the address, No 7 park Avenue GRA

E pain am, I guess you didn't see where I said I don't know Enugu much because I live in Onitsha and far more conversant with Onitsha.

RTSC:
Given the massive lose in quality human capital and the patriotic zeal for survival on the biafran side, my money would be on biafrans expanding their territory in 10-15 years just like isreal did in the middle east.

Expanding into where, Nigeria? Lol.

amuwo1980:
You had to read it twice and go home and reflected on it before it slammed home, you are as useless as they come, that's why the country is the poverty capital of the world, the black race spits you out, you and ur type have held 200million ppl in poverty and disease and want.
Let's see as your sought after war will pan out.
Dog

Nobody wants a war and I wrote that in black and white in the post you quoted before you start blackmailing me of wanting a war against the Igbos. Must you guys always lie?

The bolded won't be tolerated, be guided

gidgiddy:
Let me tell you something you may not know. Theres a big difference between being landlocked and having access to the sea. Both are not the same thing. London is a landlocked city but London handles majority of British shipping. That's because London has waterways that lead from it to ocean such the River Thames and the River Lea. London has several River ports and many barges.

Technology has gone far. Gone are the days when you need a big wharf by the ocean before you can import or export. All you need now are water ways and barges or crane mounted barges. Crane mounted barges can go out to sea, meet a coastliner, discharge or receive goods or containers and return to an inland River port without need for a wharf. One barge can carry hundreds of containers.

A River port can be built in Oguta in Imo or Obuaku in Abia, both Oguta and Obuaku both have tributaries that run from them to the Ocean. Onitsha in Anambra already has a River port

The SE might be landlocked, but it definitely has access to the Sea.

However, Igbo land exceeds the so called SE

Your waterways would still lead into the open sea which is the Bight of Benin in the Atlantic, it belongs to Nigeria.
Are you going to trespass Nigerian territory if not asking for trouble?

jimyjames:
No wonder u are asking all these unnecessary questions

If you can't tell me where your park avenue is in Enugu then shove it, what if several of such all over Enugu? Just the neighbourhood and you're complaining

jimyjames:
I can take you there if you want to

I'd ask around but you need to tell me where the park avenue is located in Enugu, I'm more conversant with Onitsha because that's where I live.
