If I'm talking about Igbo Province of Nigeria, there is no intention on the coast, because for now the whole coast is Nigeria coast, but I really need to defined Igboland in case Nigeria seize and we revert to a republic, we have Azumini River, which Igbo Province hope to assist Abia state government in dredging while we are still in Nigeria.

So it is not a game for a coast, it is a game for friendly neighbourhood, as regards coast, in the future you should be the one lobbying us, we are the Biggest market in west Afica and the major market East of the Nigeria there are lots of alternative to our excessive coastal need, 1. Ogoni, 2. Ijaw, 3. Efik, 4. Ibibio, 5. Azumini Port (When Dredged), river Niger may not be dredged unless we are certain about the water traffic that will come with the dredging not having some major damaged to the bridges and environs.

All we need is peace with peaceful neighbours and fight strictly and decisively with aggressive neighbours so that they can think more of peace.

If you are Ijaw especially and wants to meet or talk further, I'm open becuase we a looming fight if a treaty fail, the battle for PH, will not be funny, I'm open to negotiations, I'm open to treaties, we need to decide some things, so should you see enough reason to get talking right away, when there is no loss yet, much better becuase I know there will be loss on both side and I don't want any of my citizen to loose a hair on avoidable issues.
I think I have a little of your time now.

First, you talk of Azumini because it is in Abia state so you think you igbos own it, just like you think igbos own those non-igbo territories in Anambra, Ebonyi, Abia and Enugu states just because Nigeria gifted them to supposed igbo states.

Have you been to Azumini?
Do you know their history and ancestry?

You also speak of "a looming fight" over Port Harcourt...(please don't make me laugh) and "fighting strictly and aggressively" with Ijaws so as to make us succumb to your expansionist agenda into Ijaw territory. You igbos are always welcome to try any nonsense with us, wish I could say more in this direction except that the humiliation of 'almighty Russia' by small Ukraine over Russian claims on ethnic Ukrainian territories due to the presence of ethnic Russians should teach you a little lesson in this modern times as the lessons from your people's first escapade in 1967 is lost to you people.


As for the treaties you need from Ijaws for "peace", I promise you that we Ijaws are not aware of any land dispute with you igbos to warrant a "treaty for peace"... whatever that means. If you want a treaty so badly with us, maybe you should consider bringing up some real igbo territories for the discussions and we shall grant you the "peace" that you seek from us.

You are quoting a war that's raging, forget Azumini, Niger and the Rest, Opobo is Igbo same as Bonny, wait for Nigeria to divide like USSR first before claiming any territory, it is either peaceful or chaotic whichever way, we would be more than glad to play.

Azumini, Niger, Opobo, Bonny, etc. Are options, lol, no one have given you a Republic so you can't make any territorial claims so welcome, no matter how you look at it, regions like Donbas wants independence from Ukraine and so would Opobo eirher stay with Igbos or gain independence. The funny part there would be no NATO to support you, no European Union, no West, just us and you lol.

You think because of your numbers, you can defeat Ijaw in an open war for territories. Goes to show how little you know about wars.

I am not a fan of too much talks, but the simple fact is that an Ijaw-igbo war is going be like the reincarnation or reenactment of OPERATION OAU all over again. Igboland is an indefensible sitting duck so for the sake of your people, stop talking about war.

There is no going to be any stopping talking about war, it remains an option and by your Analysis, let it be like whatever it wants to be, war is the best option and we are not shy about that, your prayer should be that Nigeria don't divide

But Opobo identify as Ijaw that's why they are under all Ijaw socio cultural organization but not under any Igbo own.
