For your mind now you don yarn sense. Let me tell you this, face your useless SW and leave the easterners alone. I keep telling people the SW would have looked worse than Benin Republic and Togo if not for Nigeria, and mind you both countries have got seaports and your so called international boundaries. You keep measuring dicks with people wey no send una sef. Na wa oo.

solmusdesigns:


why cant you stop being an hypocrite and first preach to the transgressor who brought Yoruba into his childish write up, or the other Biafra comments claiming innocent hard working Yoruba who is bothered about its own economic survival are sabotaging Biafra... should we keep quite why fools keep maligning us and alleging us over what an average Yoruba doesn't even care about? should our kids grow up to see this kind of narratives on the internet and we not countering it , doesn't it mean we accept such fallacy

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.

Balogunodua:

The same law stated that there must be agreement between the landlock state and the transit state.

[s]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[/s].

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.

Most of the Ipob miscreants on NL are stark illiterates tossed to and fro by their emotions and inherent hatred for others. Imagine a man being held and consoled by his wife with his children crying "Sorry Daddy" because of one village river in Onitsha...

gidgiddy:


Yes. The aim of quoting that law is to dispel this idea that if the SE becomes independent, Nigeria has every right to bottle up the new country. Nigeria is dutybound to give the new country access to the sea, subject to agreement.

DesChyko:


All of Nigeria's current leaders are criminal minded. So it's presenting Biafrans with a new environment to deal with an old problem.

Everyone should be prepared to carry themselves along. What they should implement is a decentralized system of governance. And if you're talking about the tribal differences, it's everywhere. In Lagos for example, the Aworis see and pronounce themselves different from a number of others, despite all being Yorubas.

Many, not majority. And what do you mean 'sent' out of Nigerian territory? The highest thing that can happen is them being asked to process themselves as immigrant. And those who can't, will go back to Biafra to be resourceful as is the norm. As for palliatives, everyone needs palliatives.
I repeat again I support the secession of Biafra but they should stop blackmailing and forcing other ethnic groups to join them
a. Obi,oju in idomaland
b. ITU in akwa ibom
c.Abi in cross river
d.Ikwerre in rivers
e.Anioma in delta state
etc

Define blackmail in this instance. The borders of Biafra are very clear since inception of the idea. It is now left for the inhabitants to decide if they want to be part of this Nigeria or part of this Biafra.

Balogunodua:

Oga they can't be force to give acess to sea when they are not in good terms.

Cherez:

You ended up sounding more uneducated
There are 49 landlocked countries in the world and are covered by the international land order & waterways rule. Even lands for citizens cannot be landlocked as there is a rule of "make way" no matter where your individual land is located.

rummmy:
i can not see the multiple water bodies in Lesotho.... Now take a very close look at Aba, can you see the channel and tributaries that lead to the sea..... You can not stop south east from having access from the sea.... Thanks.

Throwback:


The blue lines are for the water bodies.

Besides everyone knows River Orange runs through Lesotho. Many other rivers and tributaries of rivers run through the landlocked country.

You can use the Niger river tributaries leading to the sea, just as the Nupe or Igala can despite being further upland from the shores of Nigeria.

However, you are at the mercy of the Non-Igbo tribes or Nigerian territory who are below you and who will dictate the political and economic terms by which you will be allowed exit into the sea or entry from the sea.

Throwback:



That is why I have already factually informed them that Biafra landlocked inside Nigeria, will be at the mercy of Nigeria.

Bbbwings:
These guys are still not wise. How did Nigeria win the civil war?

horsepower102:


You are very ignorant of international laws. Continue singing the land locked song. You got your likes and you feel good about it but you are still wrong on the nonsense you wrote.

gidgiddy:


But they cant deny access to the Sea either

naijaking1:
A comparable city in the north will be 100% federally funded and developed, in the south west it will be 90% federally funded, but in the south east like Onitsha, it's less than 5% federally funded. Yes, 5%, and proud!!!!!

Agboriotejoye:

At the bolded, you can't determine for Nigeria what it intends to do to strangers on its soil. Thru can give an expulsion order to all Igbos within their territory, you can't be in a position to say No afterall it's their country not yours.

I love your sincerity
*On the issue of immigration Nigeria might now make its CERPAC very expensive and strict to igbos

Kinematics:



Help me school the clowns..

Kinematics:
This one does not know the definition of a landlocked country. So having a river means you are not landlocked?

Op, I spit at your ignorance!
