You are very dumb and ignorant. Can that river link you to the Atlantic Ocean? If it can, can a ship move on that river? Go and ask for a refund bro. Your secondary school scammed you

Serious youths are really dumb go study international waterways law,secondly Igbo land doesn't end in southeast

gidgiddy:


At the mercy of Nigeria? Not really. Try to read section 125(1) of UNCLOS(United Nations Convention On Laws Of Th Sea) which is international law that Nigeria is a signatory to~


Article 125
Right of access to and from the sea and freedom of transit
1. Land-locked States shall have the right of access to and from the sea
for the purpose of exercising the rights provided for in this Convention
including those relating to the freedom of the high seas and the common
heritage of mankind. To this end, land-locked States shall enjoy freedom of
transit through the territory of transit States by all means of transport.



In the event that the SE becomes an independent country, Nigeria is dutybound under international law to give the SE full access to sea.

I don't know why this very simple thing is difficult for these people to understand. They keep shouting landlocked landlocked. Why are Yoruba people been malicious of the Biafran struggle? I don't get it. Our destinies are not tied, the break away of Biafra doesn't take anything from Oduduwa so why the malicious disposure? Evil much?


Landlocked landlocked! Throwback I told you you wrote rubbish before, can you see this stuff cited here?

Nuel4:
how did they even do this geopolitical zones sef?
Uyo and Calabar are far more Eastern than any South Eastern state in Nigeria or does South East mean something different?
If Lagos is South West and not South South I see no reason why Uyo and Calabar should be South South and not South East.
I'm from Edo, I feel only Port Harcourt, Edo, Delta and Bayelsa that qualify as South South

I'm from Edo too and we aren't south south, stop that nonsense.

Only the southern most part of Delta, bayelsa and rivers are originally south south.

Edo is Midwest and akwa ibom and river state are eastern nigeria

abduljabbar4:


...Doing all that within the Nigerian territory. If I may ask, where would that money even come from? Like I said, you people are very dumb and ignorant. If the SS rejects your offer you guys would remain landlocked. Your importation of substandard goods shall take a heavy blow

Within which Nigeria territory? Your problem is that you lack imagination.

angelfallz:


i processed it quite alright. However, the tone was filled with hatred and bigotry

What tone do you think is ideal to respond to an almost crying man who was held down by his wife, just because he could not control the hatred he has for Yorubas?

juman:


Gbam.

Here in north central we are also landlocked.

No. North central ain't landlocked. Kwara, Niger, and Benue has borders leading outside Nigeria.

Deebwebb:
Why are Yoruba so dumb, jumping on every igbo thread to claim landlocked

I find the behavior very malicious.

TheGodlessGod:

Edo is Midwest and akwa ibom and river state are eastern nigeria

you think this small marginal boundary error disqualifies us from being SS? Remember Edo and Delta were the same state until a few years ago. The problem is that the people who drew these boundaries were illiterates who had no idea how international trades work

Beautifulminde3:

I knew it.you must drag the SS into it.

Okay, let's even keep the dredging narrative aside. How much do you think that would cost?

It's also funny That you guys are yet to realize that international laws are meant for nations that aren't allies to the Nato and nations that are weak. We may not be strong like Russia, but if you think a country like UK would pick biafra over Nigeria then you should go and ask for a refund.

Throwback:
That you do not even understand what it means to be landlocked within the present Nigerian boundary, shows you are an illiterate that needs to be educated.

Is there any Igbo state or Igbo town that borders any neighboring country, thereby part of Nigeria's international boundary? No!

Is there any Igbo state or village that is bound by the sea, thereby exiting as an international delineation? No!

You say your villages exit to a River. Will you sail from that river and continue into Non Igbo territory because the river exits into the sea? What stops the Nupe, Berom, and Igala from sailing the same river from further upland and trying to pass through Biafra and eventually into Non-Igbo territory so as to access the same sea?

You are landlocked because by the time your miniature 5states were to secede from Nigeria, without the alliance of the Ikwere or other non-Igbo tribes that have access to the sea, you will be totally locked within Nigeria just like Lesotho is locked within South Africa.

Look at the map below, and see how trapped you are. I know it feels choking.

Simply put, you will be at the mercy of Nigeria.

I believe ebonyi has a boundary with southern cameroun... I stand corrected

Nuel4:

Edo akwa ibom cross river and Western part of Delta State are political south south.

Edo state is in Midwest not south south

Landlocked landlocked! Throwback I told you you wrote rubbish before, can you see this stuff cited here?

I am happy the stuff cited repeated the word "Landlocked".

While still letting you know it is your right to sail a river that is within your territory, but sailing that river beyond the boundary of your territory into foreign land because you want to access the sea, will be dictated by the political and economic terms decided by that foreign land you must traverse to get to the sea.

That Foreign land in my illustration above is Nigeria, or an independent NigerDelta.

You must humble your arrogance and seek mercy. You have no other choice.

You ranting end here, it doesn't change the fact, go and study international waterways law, also read more about Danube river which more than 12 countries use, Danube empty in black Sea just like River Niger to Atlantic Ocean.

iSlayer2:




I find the behavior very malicious.

can you blame them?? Imagine somebody creating a thread insulting your ethnic group, won't you enter and fight back?

iSlayer2:

We are assuming that rivers, delta and the rest remain under Nigeria. Nigeria can do anything to blockade the river and nothing will happen, thats if any ship can make it into the south east in the first place.

I think I have said enough on this thread

If Nigeria separate to River Niger will be international waterway

DesChyko:


I'll like you to focus on what Nigeria stands to lose if she decides to victimise 'citizens of another country' just because they can. China can afford to do that. They have enough clout to blow off UN. Can Nigeria afford to do that?

This man, why is it difficult for you guys to be thoughtful? South Africa has been doing dealing with non citizens for over the years and nothing happened, and same with Ghana lately even Togo.
Hope these African countries are also consider as 'World Power' or UN regulators in ur categorization? SMH!

adeboizy11:
During my service year I took out time to enlighten them that they've got no international border hence their inability to secede. Even the oyei wey dem dey shout, na south south get am majorly delta. If I become president today, I'll give them their so much craved referendum abeit the condition of access denial to Nigerian states should in case they stupidly vote to secede. Even if South south Waka with them sef, they will still never rule biafra land. Cos economic and voting power, south south still pass them. Make dem just humble jawe

South south is not a tribe u Afonja moronic slave of cow,,
Igbos exist in ss and se

Go and kill ursel bro

TheGodlessGod:


Edo akwa ibom cross river and Western part of Delta State are political south south.

Edo state is in Midwest not south south

there's nothing Midwestern about Edo unless you agree Calabar and Uyo are the only South Eastern states in Nigeria and that Enugu and Anambra are Mideastern

Jamesbally:



Biafra is Late.

Says an attachee by force unity begging ram

Validfacts:
No. North central ain't lockdown. Kwara, Niger, and Benue has borders leading outside Nigeria.

You are right.
In some sense.

But landlocked in terms of no link to ocean.
That what I mean.

Nuel4:

of course.

I think the present south west were called East Central

Maybe the OP wasn't born and bred in Nigeria. He would have known that there is a large body of water in Onitsha all along. He will also have known what landlocked really means because it is Nigerians that love filling their heads with everything knowable.
And a true Naija man will not feel like crying just because he saw a large body of water.

My advise Mr Op is that you don't comment on tribal matters here. Just read and like the way most of your brothers do. See how you are getting a taste of bitter Nigerian savagery. Everybody dey use you shine now

IDENNAA:
The responses from our Nigeriian brothers is funny. You guys really want Igbo to fail

This is what i've known for years now!

I've stated it to my kinsfolf.....esp' the naive, dumb Igbos that still believe in 'one Nigeria', that the efforts by Ndigbo towards attaining economic progress will be sabotaged at every turn, both overtly and covertly, mainly by elements from the Yoruba and Fulani ethnic stock! The negative feelings, attitude and actions from some in these two ethnic groups will prevent us from reaching our full potential in this cursed country!

Notice how they salivate, obsess and w'ank over the prospects (however untrue or unfounded they may be) of a potential Igbo Republic being landlocked? This obsession for sabotaging Igbo interests and wanting to hold us down while they use 'one Nigeria' to gain advantages over our heads has been going on right from the late 60s to date but some of us are just to naive to notice it! This is one of the main reasons i support Mazi kanu and IPOB!

Throwback:
See Lesotho below.


With all the multiple water bodies running through Lesotho, it is still trapped within South Africa, so it is landlocked within South Africa.

You now see why you are a parasite to the SouthSouth and why you need them so badly?

It's not just about oil. You need them to break along with you so you share their access to the sea and to international border with Cameroon. Or you need them to break out on their own, so that you would share a border with them, and not be trapped within Nigeria.

I hope your ignorance has been cured.

You can now open another topic to cry some more, and blame Yorubas for your unenviable location in Nigeria.

River Niger is international water read


The Niger Basin has been governed by a series of agreements in the post-colonial era, including:
Act Regarding Navigation and Economic Co-operation between the States of the Niger Basin, done at Niamey, Niger, 26 October 1963, entered into force 1 February 1966 (“1963 Act”);
Agreement Concerning the Niger River Commission and the Navigation and Transport on the River Niger, done at Niamey, Niger, 25 November 1964, entered into force 12 April 1966;
Agreement Revising the Agreement Concerning the Niger River Commission and the Navigation and Transport on the River Niger of 25 November 1964, adopted at Niamey, Niger, 15 June 1973, entered into force 15 December 1973 (“Niamey Agreement”);
Convention Creating the Niger Basin Authority, concluded at Faranah, Guinea, 21 November 1980, entered into force 3 December 1982 (the “1980 Convention”);
Protocol relating to the Development Fund of the Niger Basin, done in Faranah, Guinea, 21 November 1980, entered into force 3 December 1982 (the “Protocol”); and
Niger Basin Water Charter, signed in Niamey, Niger, 30 April 2008 (“Water Charter”).
The 1980 Convention significantly revised, but did not replace, the Niamey Agreement. While the 1980 Convention established the Niger Basin Authority in lieu of the Niger River Commission, it did not displace provisions of the Niamey Agreement relating to navigation in particular. Additional revisions and supplementary provisions relating to aspects of the 1980 Convention include:

Revised Financial Rules of the Niger Basin Authority, concluded at Nndjamena. Chad, 27 October 1987; and
Revised Convention Creating The Niger Basin Authority, concluded at Nndjamena, Chad, 27 October 1987 (“Convention”).
Additionally, the Heads of State and Government of the Niger Basin Authority Member States signed the Paris Declaration on 27 April 2004, which set out certain “principles of management and good governance for the sustainable and shared development of the Niger Basin.”

Member States:

The Niger Basin Authority (“NBA”) Member States include the following riparian states of the Niger River: Niger, Benin, Chad, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, Mali, Nigeria, Cameroon and Burkina Faso.

Geographical Scope:

The Niger River is the third longest river in Africa, running 4,200 km with an average annual flow of 180 km3. The basin itself covers an area of 2.2 million km2. The Niger River’s two main branches constitute its hydrological system, reinforced by tributaries from Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso and Benin. More than 100 million people currently reside in the Niger Basin.

If Nigeria separate to Igbos and others within Niger River have the right to use River for shipping, it's covered by international law, forget all these ignorant minds, and bitter beings from West, Igbo nation is not landlock.
