Azumini, Ohambele and Ohanku are 3 villages in the most southern part of Abia State.

They are close to the Azumini Rivers (Good for small boat navigation).

Distance from this area to the Atlantic seashore is approximately 55 kms.

Azumini river empties into Imo River around Obete village.

Both continued into Opobo Channel before ending into the Atlantic.

If Azumini, that is 1/10th the size of imo river turned into a sea,

Then, Ose river can get a sea port as well.
if they like let them turn Ose river to airport its not our business.

I repeat here the Igbos have suffered in this country, let them be. The Yorubas must support the Igbos clarion calls of freedom and self independent for one good reason. The Northern oligacy jailed our revered father and the Asiwaju of the Yorubas by the power that be then. Gen Ironsi was the head of state, late Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu (a war lock and my hero) gave Ironsi so many troubles to release Awo, Gen Gowon then the 2nd in command from the Northern part of this country will not hear a thing of this. Gen Ironsi courtesy of Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu persisted Awo must be released.

Gen Ironsi signed Awolowo released papers and he Gen Ironsi was murdered same day before the papers could reached the then Eastern Governor Odumegwu Ojukwu. He Ojukwu unilataterially release Awolowo and ordered the Eastern Region senior police officers to deliver Awo...the avater to his Ikenne home save and sound. ( Pls see this in Fredrick Froster book entitled 'Emeka' at page 62) For this singular act, i belong to Biafra. My age mates and i were educated free of any charges by the late sage free.

I pity you.

Imo River? 40 kilometres wide?

It is well with your soul.

Note still that before any light-weight ship or both can move up Imo river to Abia Port, Nigeria's position is integral and pertinent.

It means you have to cross another country to access the Sea.

So it now confirmed that you can only have a RIVER PORT in Abia. Never a Sea port.
yes, you have to cross another country on international law and rights. You think this issues have not been resolved before now? I'm laughing

what is this one saying, IMO river is connected to river Niger, how can you possibly disrupt the water flow of river Niger from the north. The flow of river Niger is currently at the mercy of other west African countries, no just Nigeria. I have never heard river Niger drying up.

If there will be flow from other part of west Africa, nigeria will do nothing about it, in fact the water will flow to Biafra before getting to the ocean, so what's your point


River water gets diverted or drained for agriculture or even dam for for electricity or other uses which affects water flow down the river.

Again, you can not dictate to other people what to do with the body of water on within their territory.

Cant you see that the destiny of the Project is in the hand of Nigeria as you posited?

You can not dredge the 55 kilometres section in Nigeria without her approval.

And if the Nigeria section is not dredged, the Azumini River port becomes a mirage.

What becomes of it if Nigeria says NO to any of these approvals?

I need more schooling from you Prof.

We're in a democracy. Let the people decide. That's why we're asking for a referendum. A simple activity that will put paid to all these antagonism, hatred, backbiting and unnecessary propaganda. Just in any case you dont know, the people will go where their interests are best served. That's the key.

As at press time, Nigeria offers 13% Derivation whereas Biafra is offering 100% full resource control. Whats your argument all about? The real purpose for the continued existence of One Nigeria today is because the survival of the North and the Southwest depends on oil revenue from the South-East and the South-South. Remove the oil and everything will fall apart.

its even easier to get obuaku seaport in biafra than in nigeria. Nigeria government can frustrate the effort of the governor by not dredging IMO river but with biafra, nigeria will be compelled by international law and biafra government can dredge the river after paying necessary fees.

Coming to the argument of whether SS will follow biafra or not. Even if SS ends up not following biafra, theres no way they will want to remain with nigeria on seeing the emergence of biafra. SS may end up splitting into fragments and trust me, there's no way some part of south south will not join biafra, some in Nigeria and some on their own.

Nigeria always think south south will happily follow Nigeria, keep dreaming.

BELOW IS THE EMAIL I RECEIVED TODAY FROM A MR ADEOYE

In what will be a short message to you Madam Kemi Nkemi Omololu
Olunloye, by a crying wounded heart of mine through some of your
activities on social media. Truly this world should be a free one to
express his or her greviences and exercise their rights,but still some
of this acts could be hurting in some ways and could be costly in
other ways...all these am referring to yoruba issues you engaged with
your fans on facebook of which am one of them- I Adebuzuyi Adewest. Be
that as it may. I most say i love your spirit,courage,ruggedity,positive aggressionsand so on ever since i joined your facebook page some weeks ago andits my pleasure to meet iron woman like you. Now to the main reason ofthe mail is to call your attention on the voices calling for the
actualisation and realisation of Oduduwa nation under the 'movement
for Oduduwa Republic'. Though i don't know if you have heard of this
but i like to inform you that many works have began by the actors of
the movement and still making some processing as it goes. In case you
not aware that the late oba Sijuwade the Ooni of ile ife was
pursuaded and accepted and bless the movement for oduduwa nation to
perform and acquire it sovereighty as a nation from fake and expired
Nigeria. Also there is a site where peoplelocated on the map of Oduduwa are to sign the independent referendumpetition,to be submitted to the UN. A meeting was called which iattended in Ibadan sometime in the middle of this year,and thediscussed was the road map for the realisation of our yet to bornnation ODUDUWA REPUBLIC with 'oduduwa customary system of government'as the top talk in the meeting.Unfortunately, ma despite the efforts of these actors and agitatorslike me the movement lack much attention in reaching out to the peopleof Oduduwa nation trapped in fabricated Nigeria. Our people stillbelieve in the word ONE NIGERIA and the ego seem will never fadeout,despites the injustice been done on us and other nations by thebritish-hausa fulani owned Nigeria.Ma just as you know it is our rights to exercise self determination
and sovereignty as a nation under the international Rights law and
Declaration of Universal Human Rights,which are clearly stated in
their articles that not much educated persons like could read and
understand.Ma it is on these reasons i beg and plead to you to please give
support and blessing for this great enterprise ODUDUWA
REPUBLIC...Nigeria is fake and expired since december 2014,which gave
rights to any nation to go their ways if neccesary. Your voice is
strong and you are a mighty international public figure. Your records
showed that and i would be most greatful if you could have a second
thought on helping this course of our rights to free our citizens from
bondage for better future security and securing the heritage and
culture of our nation.Awareness and attention are what i beg of you ma.. As an ordinarycitizen of Oduduwa nation of Nigeria i ve no gold,diamond or money togive (because you have all these and more by God's grace) to you inhelping creating the needed awareness and attention.
Note ma that am note the main actor of this movement,as i am just a
supporter,self-determine activist and agitator for freedom
Also for official information on the progress so far i can link you
up with the president of the MOVEMENT FOR ODUDUWA REPUBLIC of Mr
Goerge Akinola

Thanks and God bless you as you take your time to reading this mail.
Once again it my pleasure and look forward to hearing from you.
Longlive Biafra and Oduduwa Republic!!

The assumption that the River Niger is a PERMANENT feature of our geography is naive. A northern Nigeria separate from the south can divert the Niger from the south completely ,Niger can do it and other countries can too. Honestly the real surprise is why they have not done so already. Niger Republic could divert tthe whole river and create an agricultural paradise in the desert. I can only assume they have not done so because of funds.


The only other dredging I can think of is to create a channel of sea water going in from the Atlantic into Aba .Naturally sensible people will want to know the potential consequences of such a move not to mention cost.

Actually I do not know whether they will go with Nigeria.

So also I do not know whether they will go with the theoretical Biaf.

But I know Rivers Govt renounced any support for protest like they did not support the biaf in 1967.

But I know Cross Rivers did not support the biaf in 1967, neither has there been any overtures in support of same in 2015.

However, Rivers or Akwa Ibom must be in biaf for the title of this thread to stand.

Else, biaf will only be celebrating a river port, not sea port.

i dont see why they'd divert the entire river and even if they did, it still has to flow south, just that there'd be a lot of displacement of people.

likewise whatever is done to niger can also be done to benue via cameroon, so its still the same hypothetical scenario.

No it does not have to flow south. Where do you get that from? The Nile flows north as do many other rivers . Take time to educate yourself before speakin.

The simple reason for diverting rivers is irrigation and drinking. The Niger can be used to convert much of Niger and Mali from dessert to farmlands The reason we are digging boreholes is because we are not industrialized. Read about

Fomi multipurpose project
in Guinea where the River starts
Industrialized countries drink river water and with 4 or more countries upstream before Nigeria anything can happen.

Go and see what happened to the once mighty Colorado river.

The Benue River arises in the Adamawa plateau very close to and in Nigeria and it is a minor river relatively

Go and read the 2008 Niger Basin Water Charter. There are many stakeholders in the River Niger
