Politics / Re: Igboland Is LANDLOCKED, STOP ARGUING (proof) by Crofton: 2:20pm On Jul 22, 2021
Ofodirinwa:


a blockade is an act of war. Those countries had an embargo on qatar, which means they themselves refused to buy qatar products. Saudia Arabia and others refused to buy qatari products. They didn't abduct Chinese people coming to do the same or hijack or bomb their boats.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-55538792

a blockade (root word block) is the restriction of movement and countries don't import and export to themselves lol. If you're not able to differentiate blockade and embargo then you're in trouble and you need to use this thread to learn rather than argue. Nobody needs anyone's permission to move through international waterways and the Niger River is an international water way. If you're not aware of that then I don't know what I can do for you.



Bro, Saudi Arabia and UAE imposed a blockade and also an embargo on Qatar .
Qatar Airplanes were stopped from using Saudi Airspace, Qatar was prevented from using their only land border and Qatar was ban from UAE territorial waters .

The effect was hectic at the beginning, so much that Qatar had to rely on Turkey and Iran for Logistical Support .

Like I said earlier, If you have to transit through any Sovereign Nation's Airspace or Waterways, You can't do it unilaterally and must request their permission .

That aside, I wonder where you got the information that the Niger is an international water and hence each country in it's path has exclusive right to usage even if it transcends their territory. Please show backings, proof and example of where such scenario has played out.

The agreement has already been done. It's called international law and common sense, and those who believe the argeement will/can/should be broken should state how that will look like.

Lets talk about Nigeria now.

Brazil, China, India, Japan, US and the European Union. are the 6 top Nigerian trade partners.

If you block a ship, you are actually aggressing against 2 countries, not one.

If Brazil is buying Biafran oil and you block that ship, the oil has been paid for before shipping. So now you're holding Brazil's cargo hostage.
Forget that anyone in the said south south forgets that the south east is 10x more populace than any single south south ethnic group and could, without question, flatten them if there is hostility. Is the South South ready to fight both Brazil and Igbos?

If they skip Brazil and block China. Is the south south ready to hold the Chinese hostage that are coming to pick up the Igbo made products they bought? If Igbos buy Chinese products, is the South South ready to block the Chinese from selling their goods to a trade partner? Forget the liver; does the region have the ability to fight a war against 2 countries over a boat? After China it's India, Japan, the US the EU. Which one of these blocks and countries is the south south ready to kill, or kidnap, obstruct or fight? When people say 'block a river' it's on them to explain what they mean.





the 'land locked' countries that have agreements are the ones with no water access to the sea. So Ethiopia has an agreement with several neighbors because you cannot under any circumstance get a boat from the Ocean to Ethiopia, you have to unload and drive. The unloading is where the 'deal' is, not the transport.

This thread is exposing that many Nigerians don't know how business works.






Lol, That's not how things work .

Although international laws may frown on any blockade, the transit country might still do so if threatened .

Why always playing the WAR game? Is this how simple and easy you think war is ? International bodies will not engage in War for such meagre issue. In 2017, some Middle East countries implemented a Partial blockade on Qatar, which reduced their importation and exportation, what happened? Did the countries buying or selling from Qatar engage Saudi Arabia in War for obstructing trade with Qatar ?

Even if the transit country has a population and land mass 1/10th of yours, you need their permission before you move your goods through their country to yours, That's how things works.

So, instead of a hostile engagement, I'll be better for both countries to solve everything through diplomacy .

show me an example in the past 100 years of someone blocking a river. Even in a time of war.
I'm talking about countries that are capable, not a beans and garri Nigeria.

The US went to war with landlocked Iraq. Show me the blocked river.
The US went to war with landlocked Afghanistan, Show me the blocked river.
It is like saying you will block my door with your body so I can't enter my house. I will just get one kin stop and jakapka that your dry head.


According to the UN, a landlocked state is one with no sea-coast .

So the South East is landlocked, this doesn't necessarily mean that they don't have access to the sea, Infact they do, but all access are transit through other regions and hence if the SE is to breakaway from Nigeria, they must reach an agreement with Nigeria or Niger Delta to transport goods and services to and fro .

This is how Austria and Switzerland do it, as far as the landlocked state poses no threat to the transit state, and as long as no side unilaterally withdraws from the agreements, then this should not be hectic .

We should understand that even if we stop being a country, we will remain neighbours for centuries to come and must learn to put differences aside and progress simultaneously .

onez:
I am so much concerned about the unnecessary project. Do we need all these flyovers?. Why people follow major roads is that inner roads are in bad condition. The governor should have worked on these inner roads, this will automatically reduce traffic at major junction. Port Harcourt is getting saturated. You can't keep everybody in one location. There is need to channel resources and develop satelite city like Obigbo. Obigbo by all right is supposed to be a mega city. The governor should have used money for one flyover and used it to do street roads in Obigbo. Many Port Hacourt city dwellers have properties in Obigbo. They are only held back because of poor infrastructure. Obigbo has continue to thrive because of the resilience of it's residents. Imagine what that city will become with little govt investment. Wike is taking Ikwerre nationalism too far. It doesn't do him or Ikwerre people any good. Time will tell


He should also invest in agriculture, I don't know why we have so many clueless Leaders. We are viable in terms of agricultural productivity, there are hectares of lands, from Etche to Omumma, from Abua to Ahoda and ONELGA . It's time southern governors start exploiting the underperforming agriculture sector .

Agbegbaorogboye:

If you believe in homogeneity then you believe in breaking up Nigeria along ethnic lines?

This is impossible, each ethnic group in Nigeria can't have a country .

There is Homogeneity of ideology, maybe it should not always be about ethnic group or religious affiliation, but the general accepted ideology of the people or group can determine if they can co-exist .

For instance, the Hausa-fulani have become so culturally entangled that they have similar political and religious ideology sufficient enough for them to co-exist without tensions and distrust despite Nnamdi Kanu's recent attempts at division .

The Igbos move there for business, it is the responsibility of their (SS people) government to develop their communities .

Funny enough, she was the person that called 911. The way people are commenting online is like they wanted the lady to stab the other girl who is also a fellow black woman. I am beginning to have a mindset that not everyone's views should matter.


They said she was threatened and defending herself ?

So she was threatened by the unarmed girl and defending herself with a knife ?

This isn't specifically about the Igbos, there are indigenous Yoruba communities in the North-Central (Kogi & Kwara), and there are Northern tribes that can be well contained in a particular state littered across 2 - 3 states.
