To be honest he is right and you're wrong.

If a country is landlocked and must gain access to the sea then it is not wrong to say that the landlocked nation is at the mercy of the other nation with access to international waters because she will be charged exorbitant fees by the other nation. Any strike by the customs officials of the marine nation will adversely affect the landlocked nation too.

There have been an increase in the agitation of the Biafra to secede from the country and many Igbos are now having the mindset of their self survival. But there is an important question that comes to mind and which is:

What is the possibility of the Igbos surviving on their own faced with many challenges like, been landlocked and with limited landmass?

In my own opinion, the Igbos are creative people but the possibility of them surviving without a port would weaken the industrial drive they are known for. Some people would still say it still possible. But let's ask ourselves, which industrial country or giant is landlocked in the world? I would say none. This is because being landlocked is a limiting factor to major industrialization and this is due to the lack of a seaport.

The other challenge which is the limited landmass is a major setback to the actualization of Biafra. This is because we have a large population of Igbos in other parts of Nigeria and if they go back home the land and resources would be limited for their survival.

So for the actualization of Biafra, they need the support of other coastal tribes which may seem impossible or hard to achieve.

The whole of South South are Biafrans including some part of kogi n Delta, Google the existing map of Biafra b4 talking nonsense next time. Remember Biafra had existed b4 for over 2 n half years so everything is in place, Biafra is nt new it's a defunct state.

Remember Biafra was initially the Old Eastern region. It was spearheaded by an Igbo and assisted by other tribes in the Eastern region. But since the break of the Eastern region into many state, the unity was broken, thats why it's the south eastern state which is united by same ethnicity that are clamouring for Biafra. All other tribes that fought with the Igbos for Biafra during the civil war are presently not part of the agitation. What most south southern states are clamouring for is resource control not Biafra.

Biafrans are known and already well defined territory, it's a defunct state not a new state so everything is already in existence from flag to map to currency everything - try n get some sense b4 going to the public domain.

Biafra had once existed for 2 n half years as a sovereign state so everything is in place

Biafra currently does not exist. It currently has no defined territory, money or flag. Stop living in the past and get some sense. The past is long gone. Wake Up

Hahaha!! I knew you useless jokers will go there. So because Gen. Phillip Effiong supported your "Biafran" cause, it automatically means that the rest of us did same? For every "Effiong" that supported Biafra, hundreds (if not thousands) of men and women joined the NIGERIAN ARMY 3rd Marine Commando Division. (3MCD) to flush you pests out of our lands. And we were soooooo good in kicking your parasitic a$$es out.

One thing though: at least Gen. Effiong had the MANLY BALLS to end the madness/slaughter you started, while you "great" leader and co ran away to Ivory Coast with their MANGINAS. I suggest you jokers return your testicles back to your ancestors. What a bunch of loud mouth pvssies grin

Not everybody that doesn't support Biafra is from the tribe that eat oily soup. Most of the people that are not in support of Biafra on this thread are from the South south. Go through their past post in other threads and you would understand.

The River Niger is an international waterway. Nobody can lay claim to it or its tributaries. So it doesnt matter through whose lands it flows through, anyone can use it. That is international law

If it were not for this, countries like Guinea, Mali and Benin would have claimed ownership of the River Niger because the River flows through those countries before it gets to Nigeria.

So it doesnt matter if the River Niger flows infront of your house, it can be used by anyone who it flows through their land as well. You can claim the land but the water belongs to nobody
You have the right to build a port at Onitsha and other places along the Niger and Imo River. But you can't come to the Niger Delta to dredge the water way of the Niger and Imo river within their territory thereby making your ports non functional.

You dont seem to get it. The River Niger and its tributaries do not belong to anyone, no matter whose lands it flows through. Dredging is not even necessary. A city like London has several River ports on the River thames. They just use barges to take out and bring in goods. One barge can carry hundreds of containers depending on its size. People make this mistake of thinking that it is necessary for Big ship to come to Sea ports, not true. Flat type barges can be sent to big ships on the high Sea to deliver or collect goods. Onitsha port can operate hundreds of barges if necessary just like London does. The only reason Onitsha has not done this is because there are other alternatives for now. We have full access to the Sea.

There is a big difference between being landlocked and having access to the sea.

If you have nothing to say then go to sleep. I used London as an example of a place that is not by the coastline but has access to the Ocean through its River.

Go and learn the difference between being landlocked and having access to the sea. Anambra, Imo and Abia maybe landlocked but all three have access to yhe sea via their Rivers that flow to ocean.

Let me expose you with another example, hoping you will comprehend.
The Nile runs through Egypt down to Sudan, South Sudan and form Lake Albert and Lake Victoria.
So from your logic this gives South Sudan access to the Mediterranean Sea?

Or River Niger that runs from Guinea, passing through Mali, Niger and Empties into the Atlantic via the Niger Delta. Based on your logic Mali has access to the Atlantic.

Na wah for una oo. Wise men from the east grin
No city or village in SE has boundary with any Sea or Ocean.
You must pay royalty to the Niger Delta before you can use our water ways.

Tell me any river in the SE you claim has access to the Atlantic and I'll tell you where it passes before emptying itself into the atlantic.

Or still you can go ask South Sudan the delima they face with Sudan on how to export their crude via the red sea.
At a point they opted for Ethiopia.

Yes, all of them are entitled to use the River for access to the Sea although it might not be practical for due to distance. However, Igbo land is close enough to the Sea to make it practical.

Nobody owns the River Niger. If it could be owned, countries like Guinea, Mali and Benin would have been charging Nigeria for using part of the River to generate electricity since the River Niger flows through those countries before getting to Nigeria. Nobody owns the River Niger so no one can charge or restrict another on how it is used

See your logic. Are you sure you are using your brain at all.
A dam is different from transportation.
Ships move dams don't.
Nigerian dams on river niger will be heavily affected if any of those countries do anything on their part of River Niger. They can block the flow of River Niger if they so wish.
Go read about what caused the flood in Rivers and Bayelsa states few years ago when cameroun released water from logbo dam which is in their own part of benue river.

Since you said no one has right to his own water body.
