Irony1:
Are you normal? This is a river and besides no one is entering anyone's land na river dem dey dredge. How old are you? People like you need beating honestly.

Irony1:
It is simple dredge the river from the Ocean mouth at Forcados which is a distributary of River Niger, up to Onitsha. No need to negotiate with any state.

Putindbutt:
This is a typical ipob comments but trying hard to play neutral.

After tackling the human ritualistic Yoruba tribe this morning and the akpu munchers where hailing him, next is to tackle the gala hawking akpu munchers and watch the human ritualistic Yorubas hail him too

Two very stupid tribes followed by big idiots on this forum

Make i dey enjoy their stupidity go

EmperorCaesar:
Its bigger than Politics,bro
I understand you want to keep it within that terrain but if it was just politics, they'd have treated Yoruba Obidients with some dignity

Its about Lagos, Entertainment,Culture,Art, Investments, and some fundamental issues with their general perspective towards life(Victim mentality)

As for the Politics, They feel its other people's fault that they havent done anything. Na why dem dey attack us cause dem feel say na we dey hold them

Shawarmagirl:
Why are the Yorubas scared of responding to Northerner's? Even if a Northerner's make a statement, Yorubas will still find a way to bring Igbos into it and make it a tribal thing why?

I am from the South South, and daily I hear people called a whole tribe COWARD and they were cool with it.

This kind of sentiment expressed by reno is the reason why biafra will never die . Let them go you say no ...but you wanna keep them for bashing ...

HardBishop:
Then we shall build a dam in river Niger and certainly it will affect your area in the SS

Emekaonline:
The stupidest of all the tribes is the one that first followed Reno when Reno was busy attacking Tinubu and the APC while they were enjoying it. They are the most idiotic creatures that have ever lived on the surface of the earth. Do you know them?

Bro, na Yoruba Dem go attack in return. Have you seen them facing Reno's region?

Anyone calling them out, na the Yoruba's go receive the insult in return

Same way Yoruba will leave North and be attacking Igbos, cowards😁😂

Reno Omokri is responding to X’s user who alleged Yoruba not allowing seaport to exist in Southeast

https://x.com/renoomokri/status/1884833337103335674?s=46[/quote]you claimed to be table shaker on telling lies. I know for on everything you know about Biafra war was what you read on the pages of news paper because you were not born then. For you to say that ojukwu abandon his people and ran away is not but lies. OJUKWU went for a meeting at ABURI in former IVORYCOAST with OJUKWU to make peace on how to stop the war. It was his deputy then Effiong that surrendered to FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ALL IBOS KNOWS THE TRUTH THAT IS WHY OJUKW IS REPECTED IN IBO LAND EVEN AFTER HIS death.
OMOKIRI continue to peddle wrong information against the IBOS and his people. Posterity is always the future and the best judge. I THANK God you called your self a pastor. That great day all of us will stand before the throne of grace to give account of what ever we have done or fail to do in this world.

you want to dredge another man’s land for watin

Foolish beyerebe banza

As if we don’t know that Reno is behind the fake account. Continue deceiving your gullible followers.
No Igboman in his right senses will engage that nonentity in any discussion.

The argument that the South-Eastern part of Nigeria cannot have ports because it is landlocked is incorrect. Being landlocked does not automatically mean a region cannot have functional ports, as seen in several landlocked regions worldwide.

1. Inland Waterways and River Ports Exist Worldwide
Several landlocked regions have successfully developed ports along rivers and lakes. Examples include:

Port of Asunción, Paraguay (Located on the Paraguay River, facilitating trade despite being landlocked).
Port of Belgrade, Serbia (Situated on the Danube River, connecting to the Black Sea).
Mali’s Port of Koulikoro (On the Niger River, serving as a key transport hub).
The South-East of Nigeria has rivers like the Niger River, which can support inland ports and connect to seaports through navigable waterways.

2. The Niger River is a Natural Trade Route
The Niger River passes through Anambra, Delta, and other nearby states, making it possible to establish river ports that can connect to the Atlantic Ocean. If properly dredged, the Niger River can serve as a major inland waterway, linking the South-East to global trade routes.

3. Functional River Ports Already Exist in Nigeria
Onitsha River Port (Anambra State) – Built along the Niger River, proving that ports in the South-East are feasible.
Baro Port (Niger State) – A river port demonstrating how inland ports function in Nigeria.
Lokoja Port (Kogi State) – Another inland port showing that South-Eastern states can develop similar projects.
4. Dry Ports as an Alternative
Many landlocked countries use dry ports (inland cargo terminals) to facilitate trade. Examples include:

Modjo Dry Port (Ethiopia) – Connects landlocked Ethiopia to Djibouti’s seaport.
Zambia’s Dry Port in Namibia – Zambia, though landlocked, has its own port in Walvis Bay, Namibia.
The South-East can develop dry ports in cities like Enugu, Aba, or Owerri to facilitate imports and exports.
5. International Precedents Show Landlocked Regions Can Have Ports
Switzerland (landlocked) has ports along the Rhine River, allowing access to the North Sea.
Hungary (landlocked) has river ports connecting to international trade networks.
Bolivia, despite losing its coastline, uses Puerto Aguirre, an inland port on the Paraguay River.

Recommendation
Dredge the Niger River to enhance navigation and allow large vessels to reach the South-East.
Develop Onitsha and Oguta River Ports to handle imports and exports.
Establish dry ports in Enugu, Aba, and Owerri to complement maritime trade.
With proper infrastructure and government support, the South-East of Nigeria can effectively have and operate ports, just as many landlocked regions around the world do.

MasterJayJay:
Switzerland is a landlocked country.

Switzerland has river ports.

Switzerland with a population of 8 million plus has a GDP much higher than Nigeria with over 180 million people.


Reno Omonkey is very dumb. His IQ is less than that of a cockroach..

Tellmeastory:
Donkey, you forgot that Switzerland is a NATO protectorate which stores a hefty percentage of the world’s looted trillions. Will your little bush republic be similarly “honoured” as a storehouse for the world’s stolen wealth?

See his mouth like Switzerland.

Tellmeastory:
The nightmare of Obidients strikes again!

And the thing about him is that he is so annoyingly accurate, crisp and eloquent! 😂

helinues:
Bro, Ipob Biafra is local politics, they supported the group en mass but the same group is now calamity to the region.

The regrets and remorse are there but the egos won't let them sincerely reflect on it hence putting the blame on others.

Things are more easy to get for the Yoruba's politically in Nigeria if they really want it. Those are worth to be envying

https://x.com/renoomokri/status/1884833337103335674?s=46[/quote]A Rebuttal to Myopic Assertions and Ahistorical Comparisons

Your treatise, though eloquent in its articulation, is riddled with facile generalisations, historical elisions, and a tendentious misrepresentation of political exigencies. While one must commend your penchant for rhetorical flourish, it is imperative to disabuse your mind of the jejune fallacies embedded in your submission.

Firstly, the invocation of the Biafran conflict as a paradigm of cowardice or perfidy is an egregious mischaracterisation of the labyrinthine realities that underpinned that tragic episode. The exigencies of war, particularly one waged against a behemoth equipped with international backing, necessitate strategic retreats, recalibrations, and, in some cases, the preservation of leadership for posterity. To cast aspersions upon Odumegwu Ojukwu’s decision to seek asylum in Côte d'Ivoire is to betray an appalling ignorance of wartime realpolitik. Did Napoleon not retreat from Moscow? Did Churchill not endure the ignominy of Gallipoli before emerging as a colossus in World War II? Leadership is not merely about ostentatious bravado but about judicious foresight.

Furthermore, the attempt to juxtapose the actions of Biafran leaders with those of select Yoruba luminaries is a study in historical cherry-picking. While one cannot gainsay the valour of General Tunde Idiagbon and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, their respective choices were dictated by vastly different political contexts. Unlike Biafra, which was an embattled entity fighting for existential survival, the power transitions within the Nigerian military establishment were internecine struggles among the ruling elite. To equate the calculated risks taken by Yoruba statesmen within a Nigerian framework to the desperate gambits of Biafran leaders fighting against extermination is to engage in intellectual dishonesty.

Additionally, your deification of Yoruba diplomacy as an antithesis to supposed Igbo perfidy is an unfortunate exercise in ethnic essentialism. No ethnic group possesses an exclusive monopoly on valour, tact, or resilience. History teems with instances of Yoruba figures who embraced political pragmatism and Igbo leaders who exemplified unyielding fortitude. The dichotomy you present is not only reductive but also anachronistic, as it fails to account for the fluidity of human decisions across time and space.

As for the seaport question, it is disingenuous to belabour the geographical constraints of Biafra while conveniently omitting the systemic marginalisation that has plagued infrastructural development in the Southeast. The underutilisation of the Onitsha River Port and the relegation of Eastern maritime interests are symptomatic of broader structural inequities, not a testament to any inherent deficiency in Igbo strategic acumen.

In summation, your exposition, though eloquent, is marred by an odious combination of selective historicism, ethnic triumphalism, and a conspicuous dearth of nuanced analysis. I implore you to interrogate history with the intellectual rigour it demands rather than succumbing to the seductive but fallacious allure of ethnic grandstanding.

gidgiddy:
And after getting it, it didn't make the Yoruba man by Garri or Rice cheaper

Paraman:
The south east is landlock just like Northern Nigeria. They have a river port in Onitsha sha

EmperorCaesar:


The fact that this Adekunle Fajuyi's act and Victor Banjo's bravery hardly get any mention by Igbo historians, is the only proof i need to know who the real clowns and hypocrites are


Ojukwu and Nnamdi Kanu left their people behind and ran away to other countries, while Fajuyi and Banjo died for their people, but the last two are cowards while the first two are heroes

okoroemeka:
even the onitsha river port will be a challenge to barges carrying heavy containers,from the bight of bonny up the forcados river is roughly 200+ km,from the junction were the River niger split into the forcados and Rio nun to onitsha is roughly another 300+km,these journey will be highly dangerous and risky for slow barges carrying valuable goods the best option is a freight train from Lagos to onitsha ,Mr Reno omiokriwould have passed his opinions without insults and innuendos to the igbos it is petty and childish.
