So Port Harcourt, Sapele, Warri and Calabar are in sheltered estuaries and islands? Second question, you believe Port Harcourt can be legally blocked from the sea, no matter what country it's in?

Yeah.
The Onne port is in a sheltered estuary.
Sapele also on the estuary of the Benin river... Warri, Calabar (Escravos and Cross river estuaries)
I don''t believe this will be a matter of "Blocking" one country from trading or not, as every sovereign country has 100% Jurisdiction over every waterway and land within its territory. If you want a merchant ship passing through another territory, well, you better be ready to seek the necessary permissions.

Moldova is a landlocked country, even though it has points extremely close to the black sea of less than 100 meters at some points.

Wanna see what was in the way? A stupid obstruction of a tiny piece of Ukrainian territory.

AfricanFinest:
That's not the definition of landlocked.
May be you should call that waterlocked too, I think it will make a lot of sense.
That's why I told you that you should let that definition of yours guide you... As anything you add or remove when making assertions will alter the definition of a landlocked state. Which you have just did.

There is nothing like waterlocked.
Countries like Malawi and Swaziland have entire lakes and Waters within their territory which drains into the sea eventually.
That does not make them any less landlocked.

ezeaguisforever:
Okay, so with Nigerias coastline, can you please name a port that's directly on Nigerias coastline?

All Nigeria's ports are located either in sheltered estuaries or on Barrier islands, These locations are called "Natural Harbors" in Geography- and are the best locations for seaports. But the point is that they are all surrounded by Nigerian territory, no matter how short the distance is to open oceans.

AfricanFinest:
The definition should now guide your utterances...

You can now go back to your pics and count the locations where the waterways of the sea touched Igbo lands and the one that transverses through Igbo land.

You can tell me how many locations you counted.
And if any, what it means.

Are you smart at all?
No part of Igboland has direct Ocean access. It is entirely surrounded by other parts of Nigeria Be it Land or Water.

Yoruba say Ekaro...Ana-ife say Ekuoni

Very good.
I am curious about something.
According to the Slave trade records, there is a group in the Benin Togo-Area that contributed a lot of slaves into the Atlantic slave trade into the Americas.
This group has been variously spelled as Chamba or Tchamba. There is a Chamba in Taraba state of Nigeria and Cameroon, However we know this chamba is not the one being referred to in the slave trade records, because these particular Chamba were 'exporte' to the new world through the Bight of Benin.

The only other Tchamba is in Togo, near Bassila and the Manigris & Kamboles. I suspect these unknown chamba tribe in the slave records are Yorubas of Togo. Can you tell us what you know about the Chambas/Tchamba area? I am asking this because The proportion of Yoruba slaves sold to the Americas might have been grossly underestimated because everyone is busy limiting Yoruba to Nigeria.

ezeaguisforever:
Name a Nigerian port that's directly on the sea.

Igboland is landlocked, not on the premise of it having or not having navigable rivers, but rather because it is completely surrounded by Nigerian land and waterways.

AfricanFinest:
Go and study what landlock means...

Look at waterways that went into Igbo land that can be dredged to navigate big ships and docking ships...
Igbo land can have as many ports as possible as there are strategic places the waterways from the sea touched Igbo land.

Meanwhile will you also say Biafra is landlocked too.?

Landlocked: Definition

A landlocked state or country is a sovereign state entirely enclosed by land, or whose only coastlines lie on closed seas.

Describes igboland perfectly.
No part of Igboland connects directly with the sea.

This looks Landlocked to me.

Tequilah:
I don't know the answer to question 1, but I know the answer to question 2. Port-harcourt has direct access to the ocean. A sea port was built there, years ago.

The port is at Onne , which is Okrika & Eleme land, not Port harcourt.

Omo!!!



See Class ....
Although, I would like to see some touch of Indiginous Yoruba flavour in the palace ...

Debola

Since when did Jos, Abuja, Damaturu, Suleja, Jalingo, Jebba, jos, Lafia, Maiduguri, Makurdi, Yola become Hausa Cities?
Even Gombe is debatable.

lol.... Abeg OP, go learn some Naija geography.

History of Ana-Ife People in Togo

FACTBOX: A Brief History of Odon Itsu party
History remembers that Ifè who left the locality
Ilé of Ife (Nigeria), through Kétou (in Benin) and
Tchéti Atakpamé arrived in 1700, a mountainous site
sure that protected against possible pursuers.
Arriving in Atakpame, the Ife have brought with them,
planted a root which fed them by producing many
tubers. It is in recognition to their deities
would have donated this root, and that Ifè
other allied communities, celebrate Odon Itsu meaning
in Ife language: "yam festival."
On this occasion, the tradition is that the beginnings of yam
are first offered to the deities before
consumption, to thank them for having promoted
abundant crops, and benefit from their protection and
their blessings on the families and the next planting season.
Beyond this traditional look, the celebration of Odon
Itsu is an opportunity to return to the fold of all
son of Grand Ogou, today marks not only a trait
union but a unifying element in many communities

E ku Odun Isu (Odon Itsu) ooo, Happy New Yam festival ..... Oduduwa a gbe yin.
Please we need you around here more, to tell us about the Anago (Yoruba) communities of Togo. Merci Beaucoup.

MrsNgoziKalu:
scholes! I will fight you o.

Lmao
Madam Ngozi I hail o..
Are you in any way related to Mr Nnamdi?

Even Me.
This is from the Nigeria Poverty profile 2010 PDF
http://www.proshareng.com/news/Nigeria%20Economy/Nigerian-Poverty-Profile-Report-2010---NBS/16302
No matter what source they want, the SW always bests the SE in poverty indices.

Sweetguy25:
Dude, you just want to argue for argument sake.

Lagos has had only the following yoruba governors - Jakande, Tinubu and Fashola

What did they contribute to Lagos?

Liar Liar, pants on Fire

Akinwunmi Ambode: 2015-
Babatunde Fashola: 2007-2015
Bola Tinubu: 1999-2007
Raji Rasaki: 1988-1991
Gbolahan Mudashiru: 1984-1986
Lateef Kayode Jakande: 1979-1983
Adekunle Lawal: 1975-1977
Mobolaji Johnson: 1967-1975
Mike Akhigbe 1986-1988 (I consider Etsakos one of our own)

And are you seriously asking e what Tinubu, Jakande and Fashola have done for lagos?
Your kinsmen are still in Lag till date fighting for residential spaces in Jakande estate and and a host of others.

When Eko Atlantic , Lekki Airport, Lekki FTZ, Badagry Seaport, Lekki Seaport, the Lagos rail system are complete, then you will know the real contributions of Fashola and Tinubu.

VickJames:
Leave the people holding onto lagos as if their forefathers invested one naira in the growth of the state.

No, it was your father than invested one shishi to the state's growth.

Sweetguy25:
That is why I'm asking you to tell me the exact areas where the bulk of all commercial, industrial and economic activities in Lagos is situated.

Where is the seaport located?
Where is the airport located?
Where is the stock exchange and the headquaters of all financial services firms located?

Airport is in Ikeja, formerly Western region
Seaports are on Tin Can and Apapa, port of original Lagos Colony
A lot of offices are on VI/Lekki/Ikoyi. VI and Ikoyi are part of the lagos colony, most of Lekki is new.
Exchange and Offices are ADMINISTRATIVE.... production does not take place in them, but rather collation.

So, you could only mention Seaport, Airport and Stock exchange? lol

BolaLFC:
and to you,na enjoyment be that?

yes.

both

Sweetguy25:
You are slow man.
- They are the most developed areas.
- Other investments were attracted to Lagos because of the development of these areas and the infrastructure situated in Lagos (developed by the British and the federal government).

Please can you tell me where the economic strength of Lagos is situated?

No you are slow.
and the strength of Lagos is in it's Industrial estates and hinterland periphery. Those areas you listed are mostly Offices and residences.
I can tell you that there aren't nearly as much Banks, Hotels, Companies etc in these areas, compared to the inland bulk of Lagos Metropolis.

Watching with Suya, cold malt and Channels TV on my huge flatscreen

onenaira3:
The ounce is on YOU to provide the data you quoted. You provided a "DATA" attributing it to NBS. I provided you a statement from NBS which they concluded using their own data
So since your "data" you attributed to NBS contradicted NBS statement which they obviously deducted from again their data, the ounce is on YOU to provide that contradictory data. I wasn't the one that told you to falisfy a data and attribute it to a group that actually have statement on their links now was I?

Where is the statistics you claimed you culled from NBS...we all are waiting for your link.

Keep on screaming Onus, Anus, Anal there.
Believe it or not, that is not my business.
The data is right there on their website for serious minded people to go check out.

Sweetguy25:
Are these not the most developed areas of Lagos state till today and where all administrative and commercial/economic activities are centered?

What are you talking about?

Yes they are the most developed areas.
But no, they are not the areas where Lagos's economic and Industrial strength is.

htconeline:
Ibo have many problem Yoruba is not one of them
Why do ibo alway antagonist yoruba.......#####
Ibo kip fighting the wrong people.
In the GEJ regime they support very much they nothing apart individual pocket why yoruba man gain was at least
NITEL WE BE RE-LUNCH.

Next thing yoruba man we buy is NIGERIA SATELLITE.
They kip shout they don't need government support but if u check federal appointment from 1999 to 2015 u we see that Yoruba have been marginalized .

Funke Opeke of Main One and a host of others have the ICT under lock and Key.

Flyoruboy:
Guy, forget the hype. Enugu is a glorified VILLAGE! Quote me. Na only one small/tiny stretch dey developed. About 2 out of 17 or so Local Governments are developed. The rest are big a$$ Villages that are starving for development. Forget the hype, please.

Only the stupied gullible population of nairaland believes all that hype.
The state is largely agrarian with a little administrative /services sector in its capital.

onenaira3:
I quoted NBS DIRECTLY dumb@sss. Attached screenshot. Read the resource portion of the state.

Again, I'll repeat provide us the NBS DATA that contradict NBS own words

BUT where is the data?
Words are not Data.

See him getting all emotional and fired up on estrogen
Loser!.

Duru1:
The onus is on you to provide all the statistics in a debate. The one you provided so far is not helping you. By the way, if we shall follow the trend in the public school model, the private school could not sway the trend.

Just browse the data. from their website.
And we were talking about poverty, the part about schools just happens to be in the area I screen shot. The guy I quoted said SW states are alost like north in poverty.
And why is no one talking about the Enugu data? Is it that bad?

onenaira3:
One I thing I hate about you...you present FALSE fact, claim it as a source of groups that never said wtf you presented. That's the most descipical thing about you. It is similar to how you provided "FACTS" of ondo labeled the 4th largest oil producing state of Nigeria yet a quick analyzes of the site you copied it from showed Ironically enough the site was made 2years ago which ironically the same year when the argument of "ondo begin the 4th largest began."

Anyway,
This is a statement STRAIGHT FROM NBS website


http://www.nigerianstat.gov.ng/information/details/Anambra

Thus provide us the so called NBS report you quoted that contradicts NBS statement on their own website. We are all curious to see it

This is the NBS website.
Go and learn to browse their data portal Abeg. And Anambra does not have the least poverty in Nigeria Abeg.
The NBS just proved otherwise, the UN-Oxford data on Multi dimensional poverty also says otherwise.
That was the same way you guyz were saying the SE produces half of Nigeria's crude oil, until data from the Oil companies showed that all of SE does not even produce as much as Ondo.

Sweetguy25:
Did you say 80 percent of Lagos? Bros why you dey lie? I don't have the time to dig in and provide facts for you but. . .
How many airports and seaports did any state governor create in Lagos.

I am telling you that the only areas that enjoyed these privileges you keep talking about is The administrative quarters of VI, Ikoyi, Lagos Island and a small part of the mainland.
80% of Lagosians live outside these Zones.

[size=13pt]Until the creation of Lagos State in 1967, which led to the splitting of Lagos city into the present day seven Local Government Areas(LGAs), and an addition of other towns (which now make up 13 LGAs) from the then Western Region, to form the state.[/size]

Duru1:
Few of the statistics you posted to support your arguments are hilarious. For example, Ogun State enrolled more students than Anambra but produces less school leavers than Ananmbra State. If Anambra State is in close proximity with Lagos State as does Ogun State, it will amount to insult to compare Anambra State with any other state but Lagos.

That is just the enrollment in Public secondary schools, not all school enrollments, Genius!
