Igbo Land Is Not Landlocked – We Have The Shortest Access To The Atlantic Ocean by VoiceOfTheSun(m): 7:45am On Dec 14, 2023 |
Since the Biafran War of survival, Ndi ÌGBÒ has been hit with a barrage of lies concerning the access of ÌGBÒ land to the ocean. In a condescending but rather popular phrase, our detractor says: “The South East Is Landlock.” But is ÌGBÒland landlocked like this generation has been made to believe and sometimes profess? The answer is NO. And in this article, we will sufficiently restate all the lies and propaganda. What Is A Landlocked Country/Region? To start with, we must first define what a landlocked country is. A country is considered landlocked when one or more countries surround it and therefore has no immediate coastline providing access to the oceans. This simply put, means that a landlocked country is a country without access to sea/ocean; a country that is inside another country or countries. That been established, I will go ahead to mention and discuss the major ancient ÌGBÒ regions and peoples, showcasing the reach of the ÌGBÒ race, irrespective of the new tyrannical geographic displacement of ÌGBÒ lands, by the Nigerian government. This will help us grasp the vastness of the ÌGBÒ landscape, without viewing ani ÌGBÒ in the light of the recently created 5 South-Eastern states. The ÌGBÒ People And The Areas They Dominate: Ndi ÌGBÒ can be divided into five geographically based subcultures. We have the northern ÌGBÒ, southern ÌGBÒ, western ÌGBÒ, eastern ÌGBÒ, and northeastern ÌGBÒ. Each of these five can be further divided into subgroups based on specific locations and names. The northern or Onitsha ÌGBÒ are divided into the Nri-Awka of Onitsha and Awka; the Enugu of Nsukka, Udì, Awgu, and Okigwe; and those of the Onitsha town. The southern or Owerri Igbo are divided into the Isu-Ama of Okigwe, Orlu, and Owerri; the Oratta-Ikwerri of Owerri and Ahoada; the Ohuhu-Ngwa of Aba and Bende; and the Isu-Item of Bende and Okigwe. The western Igbo (Ndi Anioma, as they like to call themselves) are divided into the northern Ika of Ogwashi Ukwu and Agbor; the southern Ika or Kwale of Kwale; and the Riverain of Ogwashi Uku, Onitsha, Owerri, and Ahoada. The eastern or Cross River ÌGBÒ are divided into the Ada (or Edda) of Afikpo, the Abam-Ohaffia of Bende and Okigwe, and the Aro of Aro. The northeastern ÌGBÒ includes the Ogu Uku of Abakaliki and Afikpo. It’s important to note that Ndi ÌGBÒ are located on both sides of the River Niger and occupies most of Old-Eastern Nigeria. Ani ÌGBÒ measures over 41,000 square kilometers and includes the old provinces of Onicha, Owerri, East Rivers, Southeast Benin, Western Ogoja, and Northeast Warri. Now that we have enunciated the far reaches of ani ÌGBÒ, let us get into geography to further provide proof that ani ÌGBÒ is not landlocked. Continue reading the article on our website HERE, to see all the pieces of evidence that prove that Igbo land is not landlocked. 11 Likes 3 Shares

1TrippleCee:You have said this based on the trick the Nigerian government played on you. The word 'anioma' translates as 'good land' from Igbo to English. Meanwhile, OP, what do you gain by proving that Igboland is not landlocked? Look at Africa today, the most thriving nation (Rwanda) is landlocked. Nigeria is not landlocked but is it doing better than landlocked European countries like Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg, Hungary, and Liechtenstein? Great people are known by the obstacles they conquered while failures are known by the opportunities they wasted. Nigeria is wasting opportunities like crude oil, coastline, etc but countries without those things in Europe are doing far better. dominic17:Oga, stop this low-quality behavior. There are many great Yorubas that you insult when you use that word in this dirty way. 39 Likes 7 Shares |

Then you started telling me that being landlocked doesn't mean I'm cursed as if I told you I'm cursed in the statement you quoted. And what do you even mean when you said that God does not reward covetousness? There are so many junks in your mind. You're the most funny person on this forum. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

1TrippleCee: Don’t talk about what you know nothing about please. Get home and ask your grandpa where the name Ogwashi was coined from. Ask your grandpa to tell you where Adaigbo migrated from. Ask you grandpa to interprete Ogwa and the Nshi that make up Ogwashi to you. Ask you grandpa to tell you how Ikelike in Ogwashi came about. When you hear the history, never wrongly claim that Ogwashi uku, Ubulu uku, Igbuzo, etc are not Igbos. By the way ask you grandpa why Ogwashi has Umu Onicha as part of the villages that make it up. 7 Likes 1 Share |
