Every state on the banks of river Niger have right of access to sea....but not everyone of them have economic rights on the coast. To gain economic rights on the coast you pay toll.

I believe you are not blind ,this suppose to be the end of discussion but Yoruba man with bitter mind towards Igbos won't accept once it will favor Igbos, below is international law that govern Niger Basin not Biafra law stop wasting your time it will not change the law, Igbo land will prosper, worry about the gas that will power turbines in your region if Nigeria cease to exist

.


You keep shouting Yoruba! Yoruba!
Be showing nonsense treaties and laws that have not seen any landlocked African country implemented.
Are you telling me Ethiopia and Uganda won't have use it to the full instead of the fees they pay heavily to coastal states for their ports?
Do you think any vessel will sail a river where the parties don't agree?
I am from AkwaIbom and I pity you lots that following an illiterate like KANU

post=89644612:
What's the treaties on River nile

.

You didn't answer my question u showing nonsense maps!
Look at Africa and tell me the ports that r functional?
Does any exist on rivers?

Odingo1:
Ethiopia and Uganda is not located on any international waterways. Name one country that have river Nile or river Niger running through its territory that is having problems in navigating through the waterways.

.

Name how many of such have ports?

Odingo1:
Do they have international waterways in those countries you mentioned.

Go and read about river Nile also.

.

If u do read u won't be asking me this dumb questions

post=89644071:

Rubbish! Too far compare to d cost, you know NATIN
Ethiopia, Uganda would have done that, if you think you gonna dredge down to the Atlantic using your rubbish international law without coastal states agreeing you better stop dreaming!

All these IPOB rats that are shouting international water laws upandan and quoting Danube whatever agreements, just ask Ethiopia how much they pay using the port of Djibouti?
Why is Uganda now diverting from Kenya to Tanzania?
I pity all these IPOB rats that learning NONSENSE from their illiterate leader call KANU

post=89642908:
Is River Niger not international water

.


Can you tell us how Uganda operates with Kenya and Tanzania?. .
Ethiopia operates with Eritrea?
How Chad operates with Nigeria and Cameron?
And how Burkina Faso and Mali operates with cote dvoire?

Is it that they just have access to the sea just like that?

GreatChizzy:
I am from Effurun, Uvwie LGA Delta State. Born and raised in Jakpa Road to be precise. The issues thus raised in this post forms the very core of most Niger Deltans like myself.

We discuss these issues among ourselves, I never stop wondering why the IPOB shy away from addressing salient issues as these, irrespective of who is airing these.

There are concerns by the Urhrobos and other non-Igbo tribes in the Niger Delta annaxed in the Biafra map, can you enlighten me on IPOB stance on these issues intellectually? Can you put a pause on the insults for a minute and engage intellectually? Or is it part of the IPOB tenacts to deflate and ignore using insults?

Ibos don't discuss issues but EMOTIONS

IamPatriotic:
Parliamentary elections were held in Nigeria on 12 December 1959. The result was a hung parliament with no clear majority to form a government.

Zik's National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), came first with 2,594,577 votes to get 81 seats.

Awolowo's Action Group (AG), came second with 1,992,364 votes to get 73 seats.

However, the Ahmadu Bello's Northern People's Congress (NPC), came a distant third with 1,922,179 votes to get 134 of the 312 seats in the House of Representatives despite getting less public votes.

The above three major political parties in the election did not get enough number of the seats to form a government. An alliance had to be formed to determine who would rule.

It was a no brainer that Zik's NCNC and Awolowo's Action Group should make a coalition government as they came first and second respectively.

Awolowo, then humbled himself and volunteered to be a Deputy Prime Minister or Finance Minister in a coalition government with Zik as the Prime Minister. This was because the Zik's NCNC party had more public votes and seats than the Awolowo's Action Group.

Zik invited Awolowo’s team to Asaba, the gateway between the Yoruba's Western Region and the Igbo's Eastern Region to hold coalition talks. The talks were a clever ruse to keep Action Group’s hopes high, so that Action Group would be kept distracted from meeting with other minor parties for talks, including: Northern Elements Progressive Union with 8 seats; Mobolaje Grand Alliance with 6 seats; Igala Union with 4 seats; Independents Candidates with 4 seats; Igbira Tribal Union with 4 seats and the Niger Delta Congress with 1 seat.

Whilst the Action Group team was waiting in Asaba for a meeting with the NCNC, they read in the news that Zik and the NCNC had gone up North and clinched the deal with Ahmadu Bello on forming a coalition government with the NPC.

Tafawa Balewa, a Fulani, would be the Prime Minister of Nigeria while Zik would be the figure head Governor-General. Even Nkrumah of Ghana was shocked. He asked Zik why having spent so much energy fighting for colonial emancipation and then settling for a toothless bulldog role when Nigeria needed him the most.

Zik wrote in his autobiography why he did not form a coalition government with Awolowo.

In 1947, with over £13,500 raised from the Yoruba people and given to the NCNC, Zik had led other six prominent NCNC delegates to London to protest the “obnoxious laws” of Governor Arthur Richards. The trip ended in failure with backbiting, abuses and accusation of theft against Zik. Zik’s opponents at the NCNC, accused him of squandering the money and the trust of Nigerians.

Zik replied insinuating that the Yoruba on the team, that are: Mrs. Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, Prince Adeleke Adedoyin, and Dr. A. B. Olorunnimbe, were the problem.

There erupted a heated and prolonged press war between Zik’s Political Reminiscence in his West African Pilot and H.O. Davies’ Political Panorama in the Daily Service. This led to Igbo in Lagos rushing to buy machetes in large numbers thinking a tribal war was imminent.

The Governor and his General Secretary, Hugh Foot, quickly called Zik and H.O. Davies to order at the Government House.

Zik went away with the resolve that “the Yoruba must not be allowed to rule over others in Nigeria”.

And afterwards in the Daily Service published the speech of Zik in 1949 about Igbo being destined by God to conquer and rule over others. This among others, will explain why Zik rejected Awolowo's offer of a coalition government in 1959 and instead worked with the Fulani.

The Fulani had been reading Zik and the Igbo through the lens of his 1949 speech ever since.

The Fulani way of neutralising Zik when the opportunity came in 1959 was to offer him a powerless post, which surprisingly Zik and the NCNC dutifully accepted in place of being Nigeria’s first Prime Minister.

Zik had thought that the Igbo can easily manipulate the Fulani in place of the educated Yoruba. He thus manipulated Balewa to arrest Awolowo in 1962 and to have him jailed for 10 years in 1963.

Zik also manipulated Balewa to remove from the Western Region the Edo, Urhobo, Itsekiri and Western Ijaw that account for 70% of the oil wealth in Nigeria and created for them the Mid-West Region.

Zik's hatred for the Yoruba gave the Fulani the impetus to rule over others in Nigeria.

The Igbo coup plotters tried to undo Zik's mistake in 1966. And unfortunately, they killed other tribes and left theirs, which resulted in the civil war.

Britain did not really hand over Nigeria to the Fulani. Nigeria was given over to the Fulani by the Igbo.

However, to hold on to power in Nigeria, the Fulani enlisted the backing of the self-serving career politicians in England.

Not many Igbo especially the young ones know this narrative. I don’t think the Yorubas, even their elders remember this. Has the leopard changed its spots?

Tafawa Balewa is not FULANI

1893-1941.....After millions had been sold off as slaves
The Roman and Anglican church came to finish of where slavery stopped.
Why the self pity?

THAT'S A CLASS DO YOU WANT TO WIPE THEM OUT OF LIFE,? YOU'RE A BOKOHARAM.

Hmmm!

Yorubasarecurse:
I love this savage reply.
Hotice085 where are thou.

.

Guess he is indispose or probably banned
Amarabae the rants of Ibo women to us is dead on arrival, they are as insignificant as they come.
But you calling out Hotice085 why not be a proud IBO man n come run that lose mouth of yours with me

gidgiddy:
Look stop creating stupid threads like this. If Nnamdi Kanu's followers feel they want to contribute to Nnamdi Kanu, it is their money to do whatever they like with.

.

And that is how Criminal leaders and dumb ass followers are made....

Dedetwo:
Shut your putrid mouth!!! Europe has been the home of revolution and almost all of its political unrest stated from the prison yards led by convicts.

.
Dumb ass! give one example that KANU come close to

gidgiddy:
And what is the point of the learned mind if you dont have the majority on your side? Is this an intellectual competition?

Everyone has the right of self determination, whether illiterate or Agbero. If Kanu is leading a group of touts and agberos, then what is the problem? Are they armed? Did they kill anyone? What is the point of your argument?

.

He is simply extorting the illiterates and they seem really happy about it but it always end in tears

Kamanuozuzu:
Will u also call them Agbero, illiterates, areaboys and misfits when u need their votes?

Those guys u feel u're better than are ten times richer than ur entire generation. They're ten times wiser than u can ever imagine.

The same illiterates asked u not to vote, u called them names, went ahead and voted. What has become of u today? Who is wiser? U or IPOB?

Well, by the time u know what those illiterates know, it would have been over for u and ur beloved Nigeria.

.

If illiteracy is worth is worth Africa will be sitting on top of Europe, don't encourage lunacy disguised in illiteracy.

gidgiddy:
All these people who criticise Kanu cannot do what he is doing. Let them go and mobilise millions like Kanu did if they feel they can do better than him

.


To gather illiterates, areaboys, agberos is far easier to gather a learned mind

orisa37:
YOU HAVE A BOLD MAN FIGHTING FOR HIS PEOPLE AND YOU SAY HE IS CLASSLESS? PATRIOTISM IS NOT A COMMON PHENOMENON IN THIS PANDEMIC. KANU IS NOT A TRAINED MILITARY BUT YET MORE CLASSIC, MORE DARING AND MORE PERSEVERING THAN OJUKWU.

.

Only misfits and the uninformed tag along him

There is a world of difference.

There is class and grace in Saro Wiwa's deportment.

Wiwa showed that the Ogoni cause could be argued intellectually while cultivating strategic linkages and alliances.

But that has never been Kanu's methodology: he spews venom and verbiage, even against natural allies, is obtuse to advice, and is generally above reproach.

His style therefore repels, and diminishes the nobility of his cause!

Nnamdi Kanu possesses few, if any, of the strengths that have marked out the Igbo as an enduring and versatile race.

He has neither the penetrating erudition and wisdom of Azikiwe nor the nimbleness and clarity of thought of Ojukwu.

And doesn't even possess the earthiness, disarming humility and pragmatism of his kinsman Michael Okpara.

Yet, he incarnates in himself all of the frailties and oddities that helped dethrone the Igbo from the pinnacle of national power - the brashness and utter lack of subtlety, the chaotic impulse, the lack of patience with which to approach transitional and uncharted times, and the unnecessary predilection toward triumphant futilities.

The destiny of a race as vibrant as ours cannot be left in the hands of so vain a charlatan!

Wow am just hearing about this, who are the Ekois?

.

Serious! Men u got plenty of read up to do

valirex:
The Oduduwa and Biafran struggle has come at a good time, but the minorities have been marginalized along the this two republics but is not supposed to be. Everyone and every people has the right to choose where they want to be. It's wrong to marginalize people because you feel they have similarities with you without first consulting them. I am not against these two republics wishing to extend a hand of fellowship to the minorities but it should be done in a democratic manner. The minorities are not gonna open their eyes and jump from frying pan to fire. I am not claiming to be a prophet but what I see is just Niger Delta producing about 3 countries alone but each time this is mentioned you all grow wild as if it's a crime to seek for the same Independence you're seeking for. If at this stage you act aggressive online I wonder how you all would act if those minorities go with you. If the likes of:
1. Vatican City - 0.44 km²
2. Monaco - 2 km²
3. Nauru - 21 km²
4. Tuvalu - 26 km²
5. San Marino - 61 km²
6. Liechtenstein - 160 km²
7. Marshall Islands - 181 km
8. Saint Kitts and Nevis - 261 km²
9. Maldives - 300 km²
10. Malta - 316 km²

Can survive then I see no reason why the minorities cannot survive too. what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Let's stop all this bullying cos it won't work, if Nigeria that is bigger than Biafra and Oduduwa republic cannot shut you guys down then I don't see how you can shut the minorities down also. Let's join hands and free ourselves from this British contraption

Nice but note the Ekois are a very powerful group

helinues:
I am yet to see any reputable media reporting where Yoruba's are claiming some part of SS.

We are not land grabbers.. We are currently developing our lands hence the flocking of other region to the Western part of the country.

.

Only developers claim everywhere yet their ancestral home needs it d most....

MelesZenawi:
Too much talk.

Go and form the country..case closed.

.

Signed sealed and delivered

MelesZenawi:
Ok.

Go and form Akwacross nation

.


It is the same size with SE but with lesser population

It runs in their gene, IPOB played MASSOB.
I will personally banish them from Akwa Ibom

They have finish developing SE now they want to develop SS....

Amarabae:
Is that why your girls are house helps all over Igboland?
is that why we have a lot of ekaettes in Igboland serving their Igbo madam s,
I even once had an akwa ibom house help,

Igbos are naturally your superiors both in achievements, money, academics etc its hard to swallow but deal with it.
even the small economic activities going on in that your witchcraft coven of a state are spearheaded by Igbos,
so be quiet!
you guys are irrelevant!
I blame ipob for all this nonsense

natural superiors........A 47-year-old man identified as Uchenna Egbuchulem has been arrested by the Imo state police command for allegedly impregnating his biological daughter.

The suspect was arrested at Nduhu Alaenyi Ogwa in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of the state on May 12, following a complaint filed by a good Samaritan at the Divisional Police hqrs in Mbaitoli.
