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.

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......

Ranting on social media, twisting stories can't change the fact on NBA

I have show them site of international governerce on Niger Basin Authority but they choose to be ignorant because of bitterness towards Igbos

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

The Kogi , Benue that are more closer to River Niger, why are they not making use of it?

To my best of understanding, Nigeria government never shipped anything through this same River Niger, not to talk of other members state.

BTW, hope you people are not considering dredging una swimming pool ( Rivers) just to get access to the sea... The ecological factor is there except if you people want Greta Thunberg to come and lead the protest against it in Nigeria.

SE is not only landlocked but padlocked within Nigeria

OP we've heard and believed you so stop crying over your landlocked Biafra, it is no longer landlocked but has the longest coastline with the Atlantic.

Please stop crying over this matter abeg

Your bothers are the ones being nuisance, many of them are polytechnic dropouts, they are ignorant and still refused to learn because of hatred, they should care more how their region will fair during post Nigeria era, not Igbos.

I'm only correcting dumb skulls, no where it's stipulated that for you to have access to sea you most have coastline, it only exist in the minds of illiterates, who refused to learn from the law.

Take your ewedu infested cotton wool brain out of my mention and back to brown roof republic and remain there.

Ibadan ko, amotekun ni

I still don't understand why the yorubas keep jumping into every thread to list the disadvantages of igbos leaving nigeria for biafra. Can someone explain it to me? Igbos want to leave, you are against that. Igbos remain in nigeria, you are against that. Igbos talk about being president, you are against that. Igbos don't talk about being president, you are against that too. I mean, what's with all these?

ok

SE is not only landlocked but padlocked within Nigeria

Yoruba Moslem, Apapa sea port is 50 nautical miles to the Atlantic while Azumili is less than 25 nautical miles.

Heavy dredging was done before Apapa could become functional

A typical ipobian miscreants, when you show them facts they result to insult...


The brown roof republic were built when your ancestors were still living in Thatch houses and using pawpaw leaves to cover half of their kpekus and puna .

From the pictures you can see evidence of flatron head...aka Igbos


The Europeans pity your ancestors and gave them piece of cloths to fully cover their kpekus..
