Na only u sabi English
Dredging river Niger ,will only make the river deep at the dredging point and will yearn for more flow of water to maintain the needed water level ,
More like the dredging point becoming the OOZE

If properly dredge from delta can allow free flow of few water bodies from Atlantic Ocean towards the dredging point

The only effects this will have if embankment is not solidly constructed along the continental shelf to avoid flooding,
There will be no much different
Once the soil texture is made up of solid particles


You can ,go into practical,
Digging a hole in the middle of a river,will draw more water from the point of flow ,while allow little or no flow of water towards the tail,

Stop typing rubbish as if dredging a river is a rocket science

In the same vein, Amaechi said Onitsha, Lokoja and Oguta ports can only become functional and useful if the River Niger is dredged up to a draft of 6 metres. In his words, “for you to have those river ports functional, you must have to dredge River Niger. For now, even if you dredge, it is still 2.5 to 3 metre draft, which determines the vessel that can go there and the minimum you can have is a six-metre vessel.”

Even an O'level student of geography would easily explain to you that the concept of the Suez canal has to do with the depth of the channel as opposed to its width.

Always think deep before you come online to type nonsense

You initially lost the argument
FG always have excuse when it comes to east
Rail transport
Airport Enugu
Seaport in the east
Bridges in the east


That’s the bone of contention

kettykin:


There are international laws regrading the dredging , if they dont agree to the the dredging then the South east can also build dams across the river Nigeria passing through its territory and even redirect the water without consulting them if the South east was a separate country

Parachoko:
Just the way Benue state can also build a dam across the River Benue.

ProfAmaben:


And who told you that their depth profile cannot be increased? Aren't canals man made waterways again? Don't insult people over what you don't know.

Oga stop quoting these afonja illiterates. Imagine somebody mentioning Edo and River Niger in the same sentence.

Idiko1:


Edo State has absolutely nothing to do with River Niger. Anambra State shares the same relationship of River Niger with Delta State.

Those that build Suez Canal
Didn’t search google
Everything is not google
Please take a nap

Nigeriabiafra82:

We don’t need Canal
We need seaport
And We need FG to open other seaport in the south is not something hard to do

Apart from world powers stuffs. I want to stay on verifiable evidences. I don't think the world powers have interest in river Niger as it is not a local trading route not to talk of international.

But the fact that the dream is a fake one provided they will need to dredge SS which those states will never allow. And the cost of dredging, the whole five eastern states pulled together can't raise a liquidified $5bn not to talk of tens of billions of dollars for something unsure to carter for their 5 states alone.

blessme105:

You are right and he is wrong. Modify your post

blessme105:

Abi... Kogi sef can decide to dam both at their side. Let's see who mad pass

Parachoko:


Niger republic is already building a dam on the River Niger. Do you think is going to have a huge effect on Nigerian states in the North West and North Central geopolitical regions that rely on it?

See grown up people exhibiting their ignorance here

Ogbuu101:

[s]See as hatred is making you look stoopid.
In science we say "never say never"!
If man could build an artificial sun,travel to the moon etc,then you think widening or deepening a water channel without much side effects is impossible.
The Suez canal we're talking about is man made sea level canal.
But you think dredging a river without catastrophic effects is impossible.
Tufia you ppl.[/s]

Cynocefaal:


Canals are man made while rivers are not

You're ignorant bro

tutudesz:

Comparing the Suez canal, which is located in Egypt and south east access to sea is funny. Forgetting you have to pass through South South State before reaching South East.

And you forgot the River Niger waterways are international routes covered by international law on water, most of you are empty, you make your comments out of envy and bitterness.

post=100246752:
I believe I have shown you guys international law guiding River Niger waterways before now, east have access to the sea through River Niger same as North no state can stop them from using the international route, if Nigeria cease to exist River Niger can be dredge no state in NigerDelta can stop them from access the River channel to the sea

And most who think such way always call themselves intellectual because they were able to speak and write English language
Worst is none of them have travel beyond their mother’s kitchen hence they will argue on everything

You are the one that is so ignorant here. Do you know what is sovereignty and Territorial integrity? The case of Egypt cannot be compared to that of Igboland. Egypt is not a landlocked country because it shares coastline with the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. In other words, Egypt is bounded in the North by the Mediterranean Sea and in the Southeast by the Red Sea. Furthermore, the whole of the Suez canal is within Egyptian territory unlike the River Niger which traverses many countries and Igboland only share a portion of it. If Igboland become a country of its own today, it will need the permissions of Ijawland to be able to reach the Atlantic ocean using the River Niger because the River Niger enters the ocean through their territory. The River Niger is not an international water, if not Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger Republics wouldn't have been landlocked because the River Niger also flow through their lands. They would have just simply place vessels on the River and sail through Nigerian territory to the ocean. But will Nigeria allow them the use of the portion of the River Niger in its territory without grant of permission? Except Ijawland and other parts of the Niger Delta will be part of the country igbos desire to create, there is no way they will access the ocean without seeking permission from tribes of the Niger Delta through whose territories the River Niger enters the Atlantic ocean.
