voiceofthetruth: What do you mean by effective Navy? Our navy would patrol our waters from Kogi to Niger state borders. The river Niger would not only serve as means of transport, but also provide ecological/agricultural benefits and also serve as source of hydroelectric power like Kainji dam. Money from such projects and resources would be used to fund an adaptable, flexible and sophisticated navy.
Na the same people I'm talking about. They don't want any good thing to happen in other region greedy and selfish people they will come for you just wait
voiceofthetruth: I have noticed different types of insults and mockery thrown to we Northerners because we're sharing the same country with a lot of poorly educated literate.
One of the biggest reasons southerners accuse us of loving Nigeria is due to the misconception that Northern Nigeria is landlocked and wouldn't be able to survive as an independent country. This is one of the biggest lies ever told in the history of the world.
Do you know, that if Nigeria separates today, the River Niger according to international water laws would be designated as an international waterway. According to the "1911 Madrid Declaration", all states that share a body of water are physically dependent on each other. This is one of the basis on which the United nations treaty on International trade and development was formed..
According to the United nations convention on law of the sea also known as treaty of the sea to which Nigeria is a member, all landlocked states must be given a right of access to and from the sea without taxation on traffic in transit. This means, that the River Niger must serve as an international waterway whose resources and features would be jointly controlled by all states or countries sharing this body of water.
Do you know that former president Yardua before his demise, embarked on the dredging of the River Niger to provide access to international vessels and ships. I don't know what Buhari is doing right now, but this project would be the priority of the incoming Northern president in 2023.
Some myopic individuals would come and say that southern Nigeria can always block our access to the sea as an independent country. I'll let you know that in the event of separation and designation of River Niger as international waters, any act of blockage or sabotage by any bordering country would amount to an act of war and attract severe sanctions and military repercussions on that state. In the event of any blockage, southern Nigeria would be made to bear the full wrath of the United Nations and a United Northern Nigeria.
Examples of where such situations occur are the Danube River in Europe, the South China sea in Asia and the Bolivian and Paraguay River channels. The river Nile is also a similar but non exact situation due to the harmony existing among countries connected to it.
The use of River Niger as international waters would make the North have similar geography to Malaysia. Do you know that Malaysia is separated by the international waters of the South China Sea. Do you also know that to move between Malaysia means you probably have to cross international waters bordered by Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
My fellow arewa brothers and sisters, do not be deceived by the mockery of those that hate us. The North as it stands today is currently the most blessed region of Nigeria. With our unity, natural and mineral resources, soil, culture, population and landmass, Northern Nigeria stands to be the most developed in event of separation.
Attached below are pictures and maps showing the River Niger, Danube River and water division of Malaysia.
Cc: Mods frontpage please

you should face your brothers in the West leave south South or Niger Delta alone. Edo and Calabar man can never be together can you just look at the map and see
Efezik007: some days ago there was a topic about which region is capable of becoming a country among the six Geo political zone, there were sentimental debate mostly blw the west and the east region, anytime a person from the Niger Delta try to defend his region concerning the topic, someone from the east will tell him that, there is nothing like Niger Delta republic. meaning Niger Delta is under Biafra. in the same topic, someone was saying that we lack human development index. that language is very insulting to the collective people of Niger Delta. the eastern people where busy talking how they have high human development index in their region, but according to the latest poverty report from NBS, it stated that the south south region have least poverty, but the case of the south east is different. the south east can't have high human development index and the rate of poverty is also high. that tell you that the south south have high human development index compare to the south east. Delta state came second with the lowest poverty rate, very close to Lagos state. every region accept the latest NBS report, even the northern region didn't complain about it, but the east where accusing the west concerning the report. please you people should stop using the words.
THE SO CALLED NIGER DELTA. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE NIGER DELTA. THE SE/SS ( unnecessary attachment ).
using the following words is an act of disrespectful which might have future consequences everyone stay safe ( COVID 19 IS REAL )

Even though this garrulous dolt has already indicated he's been bankrolled to do this by Wendel Simlin, AKA, Reno Ofuckery et al, the idiotic piglets of biafla (IPOB) will still NOT STOP worshiping him.
Then when shit hits the fan, like it did with Kemi, they'd turn around to blame Yorubas.
Moradeke827: It has been over a week that investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo declared that Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is dead.
According to some source close to IPOB, the runaway leader could be dead as he has not made any public appearance since then.
Ms Olunloyo had previously challenged Kanu to show proof of life if she was telling a lie. She also noted that his wife will make the announcement of his death in due course.
Since Ms Olunloyo’s revelations, Nnamdi Kanu is yet to make a public outing or show proof of life. According to a source close to IPOB hierarchy, Kanu is dead.
He said that some members of the IPOB cabal decided that it should be kept secret because of selfish reasons. The source said the decision by this cabal is hurting his family, especially his wife who seeks closure.
His followers are also in disarray as they cannot tell if he is alive.
According to Ms Olunloyo, the last Facebook live broadcast by Nnamdi Kanu was a voice over by one of his loyalists.
egalitarianism: With this too much hatred for your fellow human and other Faith, this is why Igbos should forget about presidency. Imagine your Monika?

StagethemTVee: A video of the Nigerian military launching bombs . Could this be the beginning of the end for Boko Haram, their sponsors, political apologists and sympathizers?
muykem: There's a big different between Igbo and other major ethnic groups in Nigeria. We have three set of people in each ethnic groups, illiterate/masses, elite and politicians. The elite are custodian of a region agenda and politicians do study their body language to make a political decision while masses follow. For example the northern elite in build up to 2015 were no longer comfortable with GEJ as a president and their politicians in all political parties understood the signal. South west also send strong signal to Nigeria recently which didn't go down well with northerners elite because they also understood the implication of all Yoruba nation standing with one voice on issue of Amotekun. I tell you, it's beyond of providing security, 2023 interest is writing all over it. Now come to south east, their business success has eliminated elite among them, illiterates are the one showing the region direction without any thoughtful agenda. Let reason together 1. If you want to secede from Nigeria, you need understanding of other region to buy into your idea. 2. If you want power, you need other regions to trust you. What's is Igbo agenda and how are they intend to achieve it?
can u tell me you and igbos who is illiterat Go and sit down my friend
Shibaraba: You're igbo. If you want to help help. If you don't want to ignore. Because you're privileged to have food doesn't mean you should be mean to others.
