VoiceOfTheSun:
Since the Biafran War of survival, Ndi ÌGBÒ has been hit with a barrage of lies concerning the access of ÌGBÒ land to the ocean. In a condescending but rather popular phrase, our detractor says: “The South East Is Landlock.” 

But is ÌGBÒland landlocked like this generation has been made to believe and sometimes profess? The answer is NO. And in this article, we will sufficiently restate all the lies and propaganda.

What Is A Landlocked Country/Region?

To start with, we must first define what a landlocked country is. 

A country is considered landlocked when one or more countries surround it and therefore has no immediate coastline providing access to the oceans. This simply put, means that a landlocked country is a country without access to sea/ocean; a country that is inside another country or countries.

That been established, I will go ahead to mention and discuss the major ancient ÌGBÒ regions and peoples, showcasing the reach of the ÌGBÒ race, irrespective of the new tyrannical geographic displacement of ÌGBÒ lands, by the Nigerian government. This will help us grasp the vastness of the ÌGBÒ landscape, without viewing ani ÌGBÒ in the light of the recently created 5 South-Eastern states.

The ÌGBÒ People And The Areas They Dominate:

Ndi ÌGBÒ can be divided into five geographically based subcultures. We have the northern ÌGBÒ, southern ÌGBÒ, western ÌGBÒ, eastern ÌGBÒ, and northeastern ÌGBÒ. Each of these five can be further divided into subgroups based on specific locations and names. The northern or Onitsha ÌGBÒ are divided into the Nri-Awka of Onitsha and Awka; the Enugu of Nsukka, Udì, Awgu, and Okigwe; and those of the Onitsha town.

The southern or Owerri Igbo are divided into the Isu-Ama of Okigwe, Orlu, and Owerri; the Oratta-Ikwerri of Owerri and Ahoada; the Ohuhu-Ngwa of Aba and Bende; and the Isu-Item of Bende and Okigwe. The western Igbo (Ndi Anioma, as they like to call themselves) are divided into the northern Ika of Ogwashi Ukwu and Agbor; the southern Ika or Kwale of Kwale; and the Riverain of Ogwashi Uku, Onitsha, Owerri, and Ahoada. The eastern or Cross River ÌGBÒ are divided into the Ada (or Edda) of Afikpo, the Abam-Ohaffia of Bende and Okigwe, and the Aro of Aro. The northeastern ÌGBÒ includes the Ogu Uku of Abakaliki and Afikpo.

It’s important to note that Ndi ÌGBÒ are located on both sides of the River Niger and occupies most of Old-Eastern Nigeria. Ani ÌGBÒ measures over 41,000 square kilometers and includes the old provinces of Onicha, Owerri, East Rivers, Southeast Benin, Western Ogoja, and Northeast Warri.

Now that we have enunciated the far reaches of ani ÌGBÒ, let us get into geography to further provide proof that ani ÌGBÒ is not landlocked.
