Gabkosh:
I don't know the kind of Akpu education these guys have in their east.

Having access to sea through navigation of river and being landlocked are two different things. Mr , is this the kind of education you will give your daughter?

post=89744760:
The point is River Niger is already international waterway, The Niger Basin has been governed by a series of agreements in the post-colonial era, one of the already established treaties is "the integral parts of the Niger River, should be open to international traffic, with equal treatment for nationals of all states regarding tolls. The Niger River Commission was also tasked with ensuring the safety and control of navigation and facilitating the movement of vessels." this hasn't been implemented because we are still in one nation , if every regions decide to go their separate ways, know that this is one area east and north will come together, River Niger channel is more important to north, because that's the only river from ocean that transverse to northern states, unlike east with Imo River with shortest route to the sea, north leaders know this, expect few Yorubas that chosen to be ignorant because it will favour Igbos which is more closer to the sea than the north, but the fact they can't change, the already existing treaties than govern Niger Basin Authority, we are still in one nation, that's main reason east and north are reluctant on dredging and maintaining River Niger, mind you
the Lower Niger has been dredged twice, first in 1958 by NEDECO and secondly by a consortium of LCHF/Westminster Dredging Company, in 1978 from Baro through Lokoja to Onitsha, Onya to Warri/Port Harcourt. Due to lack of maintenance, the entire dredged channel has silted up. If Nigeria cease to exist the channel will be fully dredge and maintain to accommodate bigger vessels, it's an international route and nobody will block any of the members of NBA from using, that's if Nigeria cease to exist. Your social media ranting, twisting and fabricating stories to suit your narratives can't change the fact that River Niger is an international waterway, I'm fully aware Imo River with the shortest route from the east to Sea is not yet international. waterway, but till then.

superlightning:
Another stupid story. Suit yourself.

BabaRamota1980:
Oga, when it comes to River Niger, you are sorrounded by Yoruba. No escape for you.

oyatz:
Again you just confirmed my assertion.




Most Biafrans only abuse and curse people online. They have nothing concrete to prove.

NGpatriot:
These non binding regional rubbish doesn't supercede national and sovereign interests.

No law or entity can force any sovereign nation to open or close their border or waterways to foreign countries.

gwafaeziokwu:

hope you will take responsibility if any suicide case is recorded in Ogbomosho today.

Leave them na .

If you succeeded in taking away all the phantom aces in their dubious book of propaganda, wetin you gain?

post=89748438:
If Nigeria cease to exist Yoruba land will be a replica of Benin republic or Togo

superlightning:
like we have said, don't bother yourself about that, rather think of how you can recover ilorin from your caliph masters

gidgiddy:
A landlocked country loses nothing if it has access to the Sea. Should the SE become an independent country, it will still have access to the Sea via River Niger at Onitsha, Oguta in Imo and Obuaku in Abia.

So I wonder why these people keep saying that the SE is landlocked, as if it is a bad thing, when the SE has acces to the Ocean

MinorityOpinion:
Can this kind of ship pass through your dredged River? No

If you dredge it, won't it make the erosion prone region more inhabitable?

Do you know why we don't generate more electricity from river Niger. Because other countries through which it pass have already dam it. This lead to low volume of water especially during dry season


So you can't make use of it.

Igboid:
We have access through Imo River too, whose source is in Isuochi Abia state.
So we control the water flow.

Dry or rainy season.

gwafaeziokwu:
After seeing facts as presented by the OP, you want to drag another person into baseless argument with you.

What do you want him to debate with you?

That River Niger do not exist or that there is no international law guilding it. Or you do not understand the assertion that if Nigeria split River Niger is the lifeline of the north in terms of sea access. East has an alternative in Imo river.

Why is it really important to convince us that we are landlocked. Wetin be your own?

MinorityOpinion:
Where is the source of river imo?

oyatz:
And how does all these facts concern the Yorubas?

What's the essence of the OP bringing the 'WEST' into this thread?

Why the need to always bring the Yorubas into the Biafran matter with the funny impression that the Yoruba are the obstacles to Biafran secession?

Igboid:
Isuochi town, Abia State, Igboland.

So if you like dry up River Niger, we have Imo River.

MinorityOpinion:
You mean this river lol

This ship will pass through this river.

Igboid:
You must be funny.

Yorubas have been opening numerous threads claiming Igboland is landlocked.
This thread is only a counter thread.

We can do River course diversion if need be to swell up volume of Imo River.
We simply divert and rechannel all Rivers and streams opening into River Niger from Igboland to IMO river.
Chinese are already adept at this technology.

We have so many options in Igboland. Biafra will be a great nation.

Igboid:
Afonja, I mean the below.

You see how beautiful it is, right?

Pure tourist heaven.
Cry for me Afonja, cry

oyatz:
This is a great example of Fallacy of hasty generalization.

1) Yorubas and Igbos are not the only people on Nairaland. There are Nupes, Igala,Tivs, Efik, Urhobos on Nairaland too.

2) It's wrong to assume that anyone/everyone that say or open a thread against Biafra must a Yoruba.

3) Debates about the S/East being landlocked or not doesn't mean hatred for Biafra

LuQuLuQu:
[s]They know River Niger exists. They know all these things. Even the north knows.

We have more than enough resources in the SE
But they feign ignorance of them all cos, they're scared of losing us to our own independence.


But someday soon......[/s]

We're talking about cargo ships you're talking about blue water smh

BlowYourMind:
Go and make use of it and stop disturbing us, leave the west, your nuisance is becoming irritating.
