Landlocked South vs Deadlocked North
Who actually has the padlock?? Who has the keys??
By Bishops Edwin

This Hausa man took a deep cut of his gworo and said to me, "Biafra will be landlocked, over populated, they will loose so much wealth and the separation will most likely be a war"..

I sipped my wine, because I knew he was on the cheapest fears and I said to him,"I have all the keys to those pad locks"..

First look at these..Two scenarios..
A Biafra with the south south and another without the south south.
Without the South South... How has landlock stopped a nation from growing? In this era of Antonov An-225 Hercules planes that can lift over 450000kg equivalent to almost 2 ships and who remembers a SEAPORT in this generation of INTERNET-PORT when 85% of world's transactions are done through high speed broad band Internet. Gambia, Togo, Benin, Mauritania, Guinea etc all have unlimited assess to the sea.. Ha ji ya mee gini?? Are they in anyway doing better than Rwanda, Bostwana and little Djibouti. In fact Djibouti is servicing 25 African countries with its Antonov plane nicknamed SKY-PORT that covers its most distant point in Africa from Djibouti in 18hrs while it will take 3 days to move a 40ft container from Apapa to Aba.. Rwanda without a StreamPort nor RiverPort, not to talk of seaport is Africa's best growing economy!

In Europe, the PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) have a peninsulaic access to the sea, whenever the storm of recession comes, it first sweeps them into the same damn sea, they are Eurozone weakest nations while landlocked countries like Luxembourg, Austria and Germany are waxing strong.. As in ha kwu chim n'ala...
In Asia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai are not only landlocked but desert locked and how has that affected them?.. Who sea epp??
If the SS is not Biafra, there are various international corridors and laws that can sort things out, not forgetting that a greater communication with that region must cross through the South east (Biafra)..
But if the Yoruba republics are declared and the complete anticipated Biafra is pronounced with the SS.. Then the north is simply DEADLOCKED and then mallam, I will advice you to chew less of this gworo now, so you can have what to eat then...

On the population, what laws says all Biafrans must live in Biafra land.. What percentage even lives in the north?? Less than 3%!!!.. Yes..
when you go to some places in the south east, the population looks like there is a festivity going on but you must admit that the Greater Tokyo Metropolitan has a population of 37million people and Monaco has a density of 22500 per sq. km.. I don't see people walking on the heads of others there, rather I see a China, India, Japan, USA, Mexico that has harnessed and muscled the strengths of their population into development.. Even Lagos explosively developed due to population increase, that people had to push back the sea.. 1000 skyscrapers in Biafra land, in no joke will solve the housing problem of Biafra by 95%!.. Take this to the bank!
.
On Biafrans loosing their wealth, I need not go outside Nigeria for an answer.. In 1970, Biafrans got £20 and in 1975, there were millionaires already in Biafra land, the likes of Chisco, Ekene Dili Chukwu, Emeka Offor and even in 1979, Alex Ekwueme single handedly sponsored NPN to presidency that he was rewarded with a VP seat... Now show me one man, east, south, north and west that is wealthy from all the inheritance of the abandoned property??
The north is still underdeveloped, impoverished and incomparably out of tone with the 21st century...

On separations meaning a war.. This defines the sum of the accumulation of the northern cowardice, as if Russia broke up through a war, what about Eritrea? Singapore and Malaysia??.. There are more peaceful resolutions to conflicts than the vampire attitudes of the north but let it be clear to you mallam, eshi à muru dike na mba, ka à muru ibe ya!..
.
The problem of the North is that they are brainlocked, spirituallocked, psycholocked, greedlocked, futurelocked, even landlocked and above all DEADLOCKED by their ancestors who have long lost the keys to UNLOCK them and yet they want everyone to synchronize with their backwardness and then still think its about PDP vs APC.


Don't ask me for source

..I always laugh when people say Biafraland can not contain Igbos..

..Lagos State is the smallest state in Nigeria,yet hosts like 25million people and counting...Biafraland which is at least three times the size of Lagos cannot contain 40million or even 50million people??..really??

....I laught at one Nigerianists indeed.

Dis is very good, interesting and informative. It is an eye opener.

Akuko Iberibe.. Is it your land lock ?

Those iddiots that called themselves unity beggars wouldn't like to comment here because they have no point to argue with.
Ndi mgbati mgbati are terrible.

God bless the land of rising sun.

I have no doubt the East will survive if they seceded
I also know the op cannot provide a source to some of his statements because some of them are just the wishful figment of his malnurished imagination .

The National Party of Nigeria was not solely founded or funded into presidency by Ekwueme .The party was formed in 1978 and it comprises of people from the North and South .



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Party_of_Nigeria

My father was a pioneer memeber of NPN in my state . The main financials of the party were people like Abiola , Saraki , Akinloye , Akinjide , Dantata, Ekwueme and others I can't recall now . Abiola and some northern player were the major people in NPN that time . Abiola's role in NPN made some people to claim he betrayed Awolowo .
Zik formed his own party NPP which the East embraced

Ekwueme was given the Vp slot to heal the wounds of the avoidable civil war amongst the Igbos so that the party can enjoy some followership in the East . And the East never even gave the party the needed support because they have an eastern party in NPP .

The party even made sure Ojukun returned to Nigeria . And unlike the op claimed , The west gave Igbos back all their properties unlike what happened in the South south .
Ojukun even contested for a senatorial seat in the east under NPN and he lost .

These amongst others are some of the fiction I disagree with in the post .
If some of what the op typed is the history you guys are taught in school , you sure need to retake that class

..You got that right.

THEY WILL SOON ARRIVE

Afonja and jealousy.

They should sha do whats best for the Masses

it was Nigerian pounds not British pound, before they will think Nigeria gave them a large amount of money, Nigeria only started using naira in the 70's

That was how I schooled some dullards yesterday at the pub relating to the above issue here in Kaduna.

They were so dumfounded and embarrassed when I fed them with facts and logic.

Which earned me more bottles from side observers/ listeners.

You are quite wrong. There won't even be any issue of over population. Anambra alone is twice the size of Lagos. Now the igbos r probably about 30/40 million. Only anambra state can contain all the igbos. We would have no issue with over population in anyway.

..but we are saying the same thing na ..read my post again.

That landlock line of argument has been rendered stale,and thrashed beyouned reasonable argument.

For the case of food, Ebonyi state can comfortably feed the whole southeast and other igboid groups fact.

As for the case of importing goods,

Antonov An-225 Hercules planes that can lift over 450000kg equivalent to almost 2 ships and who remembers a SEAPORT in this generation of INTERNET-PORT when 85% of world's transactions are done through high speed broad band Internet. Gambia, Togo, Benin, Mauritania, Guinea etc all have unlimited assess to the sea.


My sister introvert has done justice to that.


So all I can say to them haters is....












Bleep YOU ALL.

Very good but what about population increase?

I don't discuss Biafra with anybody that chews gworo even if he's Igbo.

Gworo blocks their fart pipe, the fart while searching for a way out with enter their brain through their spine and give them shitty ideas.

..What has happened to the poluation increase in Lagos?..besides there are other parts of the World to inhabit apart from SW and north

..Every single Igbo man must not be in Igboland..other African countries,Europe,North and South America e.t.c are there..the list is endless.

Lol @brainlocked, psycholocked, greedlocked, futurelocked etc.

Only Biafrans are the one begging for unity after being chased by the north……
Nobody is begging to stay in Biafran… ..definately not the SW
And dont come here shouting let us go cos nobody is holding you instead the North, SW, indonesia, SA etc are begging you to LEAVE

DanseMacabre:
Lol @brainlocked, psycholocked, greedlocked, futurelocked etc.

Including poliolocked.

@ OP, learn to mind your business. Biafra or nothing else. The sun must rise. Igbo must leave Nigeria.

I suggest population control and quality education to produce human resources and not migrating everywhere as if our house is on fire.you remember xenophobic attack ?

..Migration is part of being human...There is no race or tribe that does not migrate from one place to another due to one reason or the other...So Igbis should not be caged because we want to prove anything to some inconsequential beings,

Lagos with 3000+ km landmass has up to 20million people living in it, that means that for example Enugu with up to 7000+km land mass can contain up to 40million people.
Enugu alone can swallow all Igbos.
The Overpopulation thrash is dead on arrival.

ONE OF THEM SPOTTED !!
I just checked your posts and saw how you have been directly and indirectly begging for unity by jumping from one Biafra thread to another from ist page to second page and the rest expressing how afraid you are whenever you hear anything BIAFRA.

Focus the energy you waste on Biafran issues on how to make your sinking nIGERIA a better place for you and your generation.
BIAFRANS have rejected you hence the frustration , kiss the truth.

Ok,merci.

Have you also considered death which is equally a natural phenomenon.

The whole of south east states have a total land mass of 30,000 square km. The Igbos in delta occupies 7,000 square km. The Igbos in Benue Umuezeokoha occupies 1,800 square km. The Igbos in Rivers state occupies 3,500 square km.

Then Lagos state with the tinniest area of 3,200 square km contains over 20 million people

A busy and successful person can not kill himself on Biafran topics. Read my ist comment and know where you belong. Have a very bad day.

Just thinking of this as a thought exercise, high population density tends to foster economic growth. This is because of network effects and scale economies. This is why urban areas tend to be more dynamic than non-urban areas.

Think about infrastructure for example: it costs less to deliver transport connecting people living in close proximity than people living far apart. This is why accusations that, for instance, Buhari provided more infrastructure spending as PTF boss to the North misses the point: the North's land mass justifies such a skew.

If low population density was good for the economy, living standards in the North of Nigeria would be higher than in the South.

Access to the coast would be helpful to growth for Igbos and so lacking direct access would not help. There are studies which show that distance from the coast has a correlation with economic growth. But I don't think this would be a major factor here as the actual distance from the coast for Igbos is hardly significant.

It's not the economics of Biafra that is worrying. It is the politics which trumps the economics. There is no easy way of delineating boundaries amongst the various ethnic groups in the South who would want to secede once a major ethnic group in the South leaves. There is little logic in staying in a Nigeria once either the Yorubas or the Igbos leave as the rest of Nigeria would be skewed towards Northern dominance. This would be Yugoslavia x 10: bloodier and messier.
