[b][/b][b][/b]Am curious and would love to know should the Eastern part of Nigeria Dam River Niger what would be the Negative impact on upper North, that require this water for survival and could this lead to the actual demise of state that depend on the flow of this water.
Re: Should East Dam River Niger by Dbboy(m): 10:08am On Dec 31, 2021
If so don't you think its in the interest of the north to be at all time in good term with the east as water is more important for survival of any specie than Oil.

Yeah missed it, last I checked Ethiopia is daming a river that feeds the Nile river in Egypt and that is a cause for concern as Egypt is even contemplating war since such dam could lead to there demise.
Re: Should East Dam River Niger by deadkamalu: 10:27am On Dec 31, 2021
Actually it is the north that can dam the river and yours will dry up,remember water moves downhill and who is up? Like some said you need a good geography lesson.

So SE should dam a river that 3-4 countries are in care of. Even Nigeria as a country can't try such

You indeed missed

If the East dam river Niger, the only impact might be flooding along the banks in the north. If you're thinking of the east damming the Niger to cut water supply from the north, the chance of that happening has the same numerical value as the chance of the Nigerian govt having sense. Which is f**king zero.

You still don't get it? The Niger flows FROM THE NORTH. So, the east has no say in water supply from the Niger to the north.

Ethiopia is closer to the Nile source than Egypt in fact 80percent of the Nile originate from Ethiopia,your Niger River in Onitsha can be dried fr up north because it is closer to the Niger River source. Like Nile the Niger is also a well sedimented river carrying a whole lot of loads consequently forming delta at the mouth.
It is safe to say that the resource rich delta can't be without the sediment carried from the upper north.
Whichever way you look at it those at the top owns the river you are claiming at the bottom.

Not just geography, he need political-economics lessons.

The older generations of igbos understand that they are the greatest beneficiary of Nigeria both in market population and geography. However, it will take a reality shock on this current Mpuru-Miri generation of Ibos to understand what their grandparents understood long time ago

It is good he opened a thread,he will be more educated after reading the comments.
Actually I have met a supposed educated person who thinks the Niger is a spill over from the sea.

To break it down,all streamlets heads to the stream,stream to the river and rivers to the sea.
And the water movement is downhill,north is up and south is down. You can guess who can dry it up if they want to.

Also to add Nigeria can only claim the land mass equivalent of the sea which without the north our sea water access size will shrink. Seems we need each other in a way.

You sef dey counter and contradict yourself per why it's insane to dam River Niger.

The countries above us fit dam River Niger with little or nothing left for us to use or dam.

Btw, how do you dam in the south and hurt the North in the process? Is it flowing upward or downward?

This your thread is really embarrassing, you sef need to go back to elementary school to learn geography.

The Niger river flows from North to South and not the other way round. When you dam a river, it's the lower part where it's flowing down from that will be affected.

Here we go again. Trying to arm twist the igbos into Nigeria. If Igbos leaving Nigeria was disadvantageous to them compared to the North leaving Nigeria, don't you think the North and SW would have expelled the Igbos from Nigeria? I don't understand the way you lots reason. undecided

I think the SW will be glad to kick you guys out of the SW.


The problem is your political and economic elites that are not leading this struggle, leaving it in the hands of barely educated thugs like Ekpa and Kanu

Meanwhile stay on topic of damming River NIger by Ibos to spite the North cheesy

When you deviated from the topic it made absolute sense to you? Moreover we have seen the education that the thug in Benin republic prison has. Keep deceiving yourself thinking you and your peeps in the SW would be insulated when Nigeria breaks. All you have is sea shores and head hunters.
