Now everyone has seen that you are the only joker on this board. unfortunately, your antics are really getting dry. It is quite obvious that the Bonny River you were basing all your earlier hopes on, does not even run through Igboland.

I guess this is now your cue to try and prove that Opobo people are actually Igbo, so that you can justify your claim that Bonny River runs through Igboland, and your container ships would have direct access to the sea...
Okay, so it seem you're really confused or you just don't want to admit that your point has been debunked. Now you're just writing nonsense for the sake of it. Is Opobo on the Imo River or the Bonny River? Ogogoro joker. Don't be a junky.

None of these countries is completely bounded by an unfriendly single nation hence they use their ports.
1.Why do you assume that Nigeria and Biafra would be hostile neighbors?

2. Why do you assume that the Niger-Delta will prefer to stay back in Nigeria instead of teaming up with Biafra? The bitter truth is that in case of a dissolution these people will go where their interests are best served. So far, Nigeria has been absolutely bad market and there's no respite in sight now or any time in the future.

3. In the event of a dissolution, why would you think the Niger-Delta will not desire to pursue an independent state of their own instead of teaming up with either Biafra or Nigeria?

A lot of peeps has been spreading false info about how Igboland (IPOB) is landlocked and all sorts.


Lemme Lecture you a lil about "Igboland" and why it is not "Landlocked"


According to Wikipedia... (thank God for Internet tongue) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igboland


Igboland (Standard Igbo: Àlà Ị̀gbò), also known as Southeastern Nigeria and formerly known as Ibo or Iboland,[3] is a non-governmental cultural region and a linguistic area in Nigeria that is defined by the Igbo culture and language. It is primarily situated in the Lowland forest region of Nigeria, with minor parts in the Niger-Delta, where the Niger river fans out into the atlantic ocean in a vast network of creeks and mangrove swamps on the Bight of Bonny located between latitude 5–7 degrees north and longitude 6–8 degrees east, and occupies a total landmass of about 16,000 square miles in southern Nigeria.[4] It has lands on both sides of the lower Niger River, although the larger chunk of the region is situated on the east of the river. The region is surrounded by a host of large rivers. Igboland's culture has been shaped by its rainforest climate. As this area constitutes a large part of the south-eastern part of Nigeria, it is often referred to as the 'The East' locally. The majority of the Igbo-speaking population in Igboland identify as ethnic Igbo.

Igboland was part of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate of the British Empire and was amalgamated into modern-day Nigeria in 1914; the nation gained independence in 1960. Shortly afterwards Igboland was involved in its biggest war during Biafra's movement for secession, which eventually ended in 1970 when this area rejoined Nigeria.
There are many choices for Ndiigbo, the first is to dredge the river and build Obuaku Deep seaport in Abia.


The second is to follow the river out to the Ocean and as was done in Dubai, embark on land reclamation and then develop it to a massive deep seaport.

Madam, nobody is forcing Igboland to be anything. And if anyone is desperate on this thread, it must be you as I cannot see any sign of desperation anywhere. For you to have made that comment, you obviously did not read all my posts in this thread with an open mind.
Jealousy and envy at its peak! You are not in any way from ala Igbo, yet you've spent days arguing about Igbo land with a bona-fide son of the soil. Are you not ashamed of yourself? What happened to trying to figure out how to change the perpetual brown roof syndrome Yoruba land, even with all her seas and oceans has been afflicted with, instead of being so obsessed with Igbo land.
No problem, continue running from pillar to post, as you can't see that @ezeagu has you by the balls in this argument.

Stop getting paranoid! Is there a law that says non-Igbos cannot pass comments about issues that concern Igboland, when several Igbo people keep passing comments about things that concern other ethnic groups?? huh

So why are you getting hysterical? Ezeagu made his points, and I made mine. You seem to be getting worked up over it, for some reason. Will you get over yourself and stop looking for enemies where there are none?? chai! shocked

And you should get a refund from your teachers o, because they did a bad job in teaching you that everyone who does not see your myopic point of view is Yoruba. It is a pity that you swallowed their fallacy, because my ethnic group is totally different and has absolutely nothing to do with the Yorubas. You are free to continue racking your brains, trying to figure out how to change the brown roofs in Yoruba land. Now will you run along and play with juveniles like yourself?! shocked

You keep contradicting your own statements at every turn, and you have now ended up making a fool of yourself. Why are you asking if "Opobo is on the Imo River or Bonny River?" Were you not the one that stated that Bonny River runs through Opobo and Eleme, in one of your previous posts?? Haba, you have just revealed to everyone that you are in fact the Ogogoro and Kai-kai drinker here, with the way you keep clutching at straws.

Fruit punch, point out where I wrote that the Bonny River runs through Opobo and Eleme. If you cannot what should be your name? Desperado?

Did you take any fruit punch tonight, is that why you are now seeing strange things? Were you not the one who wrote this statement below?
You were the first to mention Opobo and Elele when you were talking about the Bonny River. Do you recall being asked if the Bonny river runs through Igboland? You couldn't even give the names of the Igbo communities through which the Bonny river flows through...

ezeaguisforever:
The Bonny River runs through Port Harcourt from Elele. Anymore questions or will you find something else to twist in your favour and act like you haven't completely 'drowned'?
ezeaguisforever:
Tequilah or is it fruit punch, did you miss where I posted this image when you asked for the size of the mouth of the Imo and I told you it was a mile wide? Did I not tell unu that Opobo was even being discounted for discussion sake? Are there not Opobo people who have been recorded as identifying as Igbo?
Were you not the one who mentioned this? Stop calling others names, that you should bear. 'Desperado' is actually your own middle name, going by the way you have used google maps, pictures etc., to try and convince everyone that your container ships from Igboland will sail through Imo river, New Kalabar River etc into the sea. Am done.

Stop the blabber. All you've written is smoke to conceal your great blunder. Since you have not been able to show where I wrote explicitly or implicitly that the Bonny River runs through Opobo you will now bear the name of... I give you the choice.

Until you answer the question about how many Igbo communities in Igboland, does the Bonny river run through, I am afraid you won't get someone to save you and drag you to the shore. Maybe those ships you are waiting for to sail up the Imo River will send a life-guard to rescue you. Keep drowning....

Are you okay? Did I not tell you the Bonny River runs through Port Harcourt, an Ikwerre-Igbo land, to Elele also an Igbo land?

[size=18pt]Igboland isn't landlocked. but even if it were, it isn't a reason to remain enslaved in Nigeria.
Ethiopia is landlocked but posts a higher GDP compared to the zoo. Go figure.

Many ab0kis will write all sorts of crap in the coming months. The truth is that human beings will never choose slavery to freedom just because you want them to live in an un-landlocked country. Biafra is born out of sheer injustices and wickedness against the Biafra part of Igboland and SS. The second class treatment of our people in Nigeria is convincing more and more of us everyday that independence of our homeland is better than being enslaved in nigeria by Hausas.
So invent another pointless arguments such as Biafra will not have oxygen, oil, water, food, cows,fish etc, etc, it is a complete waste of time.
[/size]
Don't care ablout Biafra but I just want to correct a few pointst of yours. Ethiopia's GDP is NOT higher than Nigeria's. Nigeria has the highest GDP in Africa. Because of its landlocked nature, Ethiopia also goes through periods of famine every couple of years like the one in 1984 that killed almost half a million people. Ethiopia is currently going through another one right now that has already killed hundreds of people. Not everything is fun and games in a landlocked country.
