The Chief Executive Officer of Hotels.ng, Mark Essien has barred his mind on the agitation for Biafran nation. Citing that Biafra will be a landlocked country if eventually becomes a nation.

This is coming on the heels of agitations by different group in South-east Nigeria. Groups like; IPOB, MASSOB, BIM, etc, has been calling for a separation from Nigeria. A movement which will birth the new nation called Biafra. However, Essien pointed out that if Biafran nation if granted freedom, will be landlocked with no access to sea or oil. The Akwa Ibom born entrepreneur in a social media post further added that region like South-South will unlikely join Biafra as a nation.

He said:
“Those calling for Biafra don’t understand that it will be a landlocked country without access to the sea (or oil). It is highly unlikely that any of the other tribes will join in. All the major markets will collapse without trade from the rest of Nigeria. No resources, no trade. “If you’re secretly hoping Nigeria splits, dead that dream. Because the south would split into two. And then South-West will split into two again, then South-South-East will split into 4 pieces. Those tiny nations will be unstable, poor, and ruled by warlords. It’s better as it is. “And those hoping for Biafra as a single, unified South-East and South-South together: that will never happen. It will be the worst of all guerrilla wars. The creeks can hide an insurgent army that can never be flushed out, and they will attack over and over again. “The Ijaws, Efik/Ibibio, Deltans will never agree to be part of Biafra, and should it happen by force, then it will be seen as an occupation and will be resisted. Considering that access to water and oil lies in the minority areas, it will be hard to occupy those areas for long.

Yawnnss..

If Una deny us access to sea na war Una dey find be that because we have no choice , and if we defeat you people which is very likely because we have more war experience than you and we have a population 2 time bigger than yours , then we will annex some of your land forever for sea access especially ogoni land..

Anyways Nigerdelta is very unlike to happen because,Nigeria is not splitting to more than three..

In as much as yes Efik/ibibio won't be part of biafra, we won't remain in Nigeria either, I wish the igbos well tho, Nigeria has sea access but we're not better than Switzerland or Austria that are landlocked in anything except population.

you no dey tire.

Igbos don't have access to sea ? Would Niger Delta prevent ships from entering into Biafra land ?

Do they hate igbos that much ? .... because we are different countries does that mean trade would stop ? .....

This guys just don't make sense ...if we break we become enemy ? ... countries in south south south east would most likely be visa free for each other realistically

Just control your destiny simple then things move as normal..... highest u stop igbos from found petty trading simple

Why are people who don't like igbos scared for igbos ? Allow us suffer na

If Biafra would be bad for igbos ...Nigeria would have granted it long ago

Niger Delta or SS is not a tribe. Only the Aniomas and Igbos in Rivers will join Biafra. I'm from Anioma

Lol, another attention seeker on the loose.
His ignorance is top notch. The pro Nigerians now think they can use scare mongering to deter the raging separatist agitation.

Abasman008:
The NIGER DELTA, will come together and leave this place called Nigeria....

We have white sand beaches that kine the entire NIGER DELTAN coast line but nothing is going on there...

Our blue waters are turning black and murky by oil that does us no good...

If we come together and salvage whatever is going to left of our home...we can use whatever oil is left under us to start something. Our soil is rich and loam and our closeness to the sea has given us a rich mineral soil that can support foodstuffs, agriculture will be a main gold mine, while our geologist will check out our minerals and that too will be mined...

Our NIGER DELTA will be a hub, if we make strict humane laws early that will cebter on security, devolopment and equality..

Human development will be a very good factor to unvesi upon..

Imagine a place with airschools and clean fuel, with gas giving 24hrs eletricity instead of being flared.

We will build our cities the way it's supposed to be.. from the sea in ward!! That's how devolopment starts.. from areas with easy reach of tradepoints. And luckily each of the 5states have a fair share of the Atlantic...

Lol, what movement is that? Niger Delta as an entity is as fake as Nigeria. It doesn't exist in the grand scheme of things. Niger Delta will automatically break up once Nigeria is no more.

Are you Ijaw? Itshekiri? Efik? Uhrobo? Or any of the several ethnicities that were collectively lumped together, it is high time you started speaking for your tribe alone. I can bet a million naira that Niger Delta won't be able to form an entity based on its current delineation.

calm down achieve your own first before you talk of other people own.
did Niger Deltans told you they want to separate?

Itsekiri and urohbo are for oduduwa republic so remove us from your wishful thinking.

Companies like oil companies, mining companies, telecommunications etc that are going to be operated by expatriates shall be owned by the government (The people) and thsse firms will only come to manage.. laws will make sure 90% of the workers must be NIGER DELTAN And 50% of the board members will be NIGER DELTANS .

Idegeneous firms will be supported to grow and later on take over from the expatriaites.

The country will make sure the potentials of every citizen is notices and built from the first day at school to the last with sophisticated but flexible educational standards that will accommodate skills and make education a place were one goes to aqquire knowledge rather than a place we have to pass through to get jobs..

Urhobo in oduduwa Republic? what brand of weed are you smoking? even the Itshekiri one sef will never happen cause they are a distinct ethnic nationality that just happen to share some cultural and linguistic ties with Yorubas.

River Niger flows through Onitsha into Atlantic Ocean.

Aba/Azumuni Blue River is 1 or 2 Kilometers into Atlantic Ocean.

What does he mean by landlocked? Remember, International law bans Countries from blocking Rivers/Sea routes without official negotiated signed agreement.

River Niger is international waters because it didn't originate from Nigeria hence can't be blocked.

Bunch of Ignoramuses

Who are you to speak for us? Urohbo and itsekiri will never part of landlocked called biafra.

Bikoko:

Says a dirty yaribanza pig, go and include Urhobo and Itshekiri in your oduduwa map make we see how far. And who said Igbos needed your irrelevant services in Biafra? don't confuse the grand Igbo agenda with Ipob, the ideal Biafran Republic is a homogeneous Igbo speaking nation both in the SE and SS(the ones with identity crisis in the so called South South can stay behind, nobody is forcing anybody).

You feel threatened at the mentioning of BIAFRA because you feel that you will lose patronages from corruption Nigerian politicians hence you are indirectly defending your interests. Well, not only you even some Igbo businessmen are also into the discouragement tactics in other to protect their investments, but it's too little too late.
Somebody should teach him what landlocked means, because as far as I know Igboland is not landlocked. Even the south east everyone praying to be boxed is not even landlocked. Let him bring another tactic because the issue of being landlocked is no longer selling.

As much as I'd like your idea to be realistic, if you look at thing from a broad perspective, it'll just be another Nigeria. Except each state is given an autonomy over its affairs with a Central Government that only act as an oversight of regional government. Other than that we'll still face the problem of marginalization, corruption etc.

I am Akwa Ibom, that Essien of a guy is just speakings for himself ! He want remained in Nigeria, let him park his things and relocate to the North...
