That sculpture would predate the colonial era. It resembles an 1700 century work. Probably, at the same time Bini kingdom were doing similar work as bronze cast.

And, no, that couldn't have been European inspired!. That's not possible because we didn't make contact with European culture, rather European culture made contact with us and was able to copy some African works. We mastered the art of quality wood work before Europeans, Asians, and the prove is all over western museums.

Our arts were so cutting edge (at that time) that it was actually stolen by Europeans!. African artifacts are littered all over Europe crying in European museums. America too.

Watch the video on this link http://www.africason.com/2015/05/elite-brainwashing-last-stage-of-mental.html

The heads are wearing colonial style hats like this:

The others are wearing European styled crowns. The convention of arm chairs, which are placed around dining tables, is European, but the motifs of the chair are Igbo.

The people on this thread are dickheads. The worst kind of brain dead human beings that make Africa what is today. One is the prime dickhead. An absolute asshole that is only powerful through enablers. The second kind of dickhead is the enabler, the kind of idiot that enables and plays into the hands of the original Arrow, see how the idiocy unfolds below.

Oh, shut the fuck up. Lol.

If the river passes through non-Iboland, this whole charade is soooo dead on arrival! You think the natives of those lands will watch you cross their land, from the sea across their land to Ibo land? No fucking way is that gonna happen! Not only would you be stopped, but even if it ever happens, they can choose to dam the river at anytime, so you end up with a big hole or channel without water!!

Who are the indigenous people? I bet you don't even know.

Nwanne, I am quite impressed with your handiwork on this thread. Mana kedu ebe I na-esi aboputacha picture niine a?

Most of them are from here: http://ukpuru.tumblr.com/, others are from search online.

Look at such beautiful and painstakingly cratfed artwork! Such a masterpiece.

However, I do not agree with the bolded part though. The European writer felt that Negroes are capable of intelligent masterpieces and such beautiful masterpiece must have been 'copied' from the Europeans. The same European writer who wrote about the Igbo-Ukwu artworks commented that the artworks were such a beautiful art-piece that no artwork of Europe at that time rivaled the Igbo-Ukwu artworks in intricacy and finesse, and that the artworks must have been somehow related to European influence. That is, blacks are capable of building or designing beautiful and well-crafted artworks.

I think they meant the fact that its an arm chair rather than a stool showed European influence.

Moved post.

tsdarkside:
and why should the nigerians allow you do that through their areas to the ocean??...is the river, no mans river,to you now too...??..una reasoning dont make sense.....


nigeria will boycott you completly and deny to make any agreements with you about the river...every african nation will boycott you,...even oau....

And will this be before or after the peoples of the delta form their own countries?

Determined to remove Abia State  from its landlocked status  and enhance economic and commercial activities   the state government has concluded plans to build  its own  seaport.

The decision to build the seaport which  is to be located  at Obuaku in Ukwa West local  government is coming on the heels of government’s announcement that plans  are in top gear to  build an airport in the state.

Commissioner for information   and   strategy, Dr Eze Chikamnayo who disclosed this after the last state executive   council meeting in Umuahia  said the two projects would be executed  simultaneously.

The sea port which will be the first in the South East geopolitical zone would help importers  and exporter from  the   state carry out their business with more ease and  reduce the distance they have to travel to clear  their goods.

The  sea port he added would also create employment for the teeming unemployed youths in the state both skilled and unskilled.

Defending   the location of the seaport,   he said that  unlike Port Harcourt  Sea port which is about 10 miles from Port Harcourt City, the proposed Obuaku seaport is less than five miles to the Atlantic Ocean. 

The commissioner said that already   a committee has been set up to see to the development of  the seaport which will  see Governor Theodore Orji emerging as the first governor in the South East to build a sea port.

On the air port project, he said that   an appropriate site had been  acquired cutting across Ikwuano and Umuahia south local government areas covering an  area of 24 square miles.

Could it be that they are wrong? Because Ukwa East is north of Port Harcourt, so how can it be closer to the sea?

Vicotex:
better

But Ikwere...

Projects In Abia State: 

Proposed-

Obuaku Seaport Construction: It is in the Obuaku, Ukwa West LGA, and the site lies by the Azumini River that flows into the Atlantic Ocean. And what is more, since it is just five nautical miles from the Ocean it qualifies technically as a seaport, not a river port, going by the UN’s laws. Right in Obuaku, there is a confluence point where the Imo River and the Blue River meet. The Obuaku confluence passes through Ikot-Abasi in Akwa Ibom State. This project IF achieved will open up the manufacturing and commercial sector of Abia to the entire world. Potential Contractors: NORINCO

Where is Obuaku, because 5 nautical miles is like Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom which is far away from the "south east" (Alaigbo).

Vicotex:
You know those our loud mouthed neighbours that always shout "AWA OYEL", if you choose this Asaba route, they will start shouting "AWA LAND" and their youth will start demanding compensation from every ship that is passing throug that Community/area

I suspected that, plus militancy and piracy would ravage that secluded area. Oh well, that's why I think Imo is the saving grace because it's close enough, near more friendlier neighbours (Ibibio, Ogoni, Igbo speaking Opobo community), near enough Port Harcourt (or Igwu Ocha) and can be patrolled easier.

See signature.

Post below explains all.

And of course, but Ikwere...

Abagworo:
All these things won't work mainly because of our hostile neighbours. There is this belief in cutting their tail before they go out of hand amongst them. Only in collaboration with Northerners can this be achieved as they can easily have their way in whatever threats posed by communities along the banks.

What do you mean?

Vicotex post=39528747

Good analysis, but if Aligbo is it's own country, or even not, northerners cannot block the upstream flow of the Niger, or at least, that would be met with international resistance.

Vicotex:
I don't like this specific idea

Why?

Asaba Onitsha Niger.

The Urashi example I was taking about.

Seun, Ishilove, Afam4eva, OAM4J

There are people vandalising the clear rules of this forum on this page, these people are repeat offenders and refuse to change their ways, I have reported them several times and nothing has been done, meaning the report button does nothing, their monikers are above and their rule breaking is clear. Please don't allow threads to be derailed by such rule breakers.

I think Igbo language instruction could work but I don't know if the people are willing to send their kids to schools that teach such, unfortunately.

VickJames:
a seaport is very possible in the east. a well-documented research have been about it, the only thing we need to do is execution. within the next five years. you will see a very good sea port in the east.

I guess the main question is where, I believe there are several options, even without the Imo. There's the Urashi and of course the Niger.

Some dehydrated, dry, crusty, worthless people actually believe I would read and or reply their junk? Ara ga gbadi ndi ara though!

That's called schizophrenia, a personal issue that has nothing to do with random internet posters. Get that checked out, otherwise there's nothing to discuss here.

VickJames:
I only comment on intelligent threads like this.

The dredging of the river is very possible and can be done without interfering with other peoples lives and properties. the distance from the sea is not far because farther distances have been dredged within a year. the only problem will finances which can be sourced from smart investment projects.

There is also a confluence river in imo and it is deep. this confluence river can dredged and its at a closer proximity to the ocean. the map do not carry everything you need to see but in the real sense of it, it is possible.

the weather will favour the igbos because with the increase in global warming, the sea will come to us and we wont need to do much in dredging the river.

the estimated cost for this project will be around 15billion dollars or so. I know we dont have the money now but with serious minded people in the job, it can be done. having a seaport in the east is the future and we will achieve it in our generation without the help of akwa ibom and river state government because they will not see it as their major project but only a distraction from their problems which is true.

a sea port linking the southeast directly will bring economic life to the east and it will be a welcome development.

From what I can see, the areas around the Imo are mostly dense forests anyway so that will cut down this projects intrusion on local peoples lives. The mouth also looks quite wide.
