They are now arguing that Azumini proposed seaport cannot handle 5000 tons ship. This is how they spread ignorance to kill Igbo projects.
Let's educate them with FACTS:
1. Azumini is NOT a river gutter, it's 19 nautical miles to the Atlantic.
The Azumini Blue River joins Imo River which flows 240km directly into the Atlantic through Akwa Ibom. The corridor is just 35km to the sea. With dredging, it becomes a channel โ same way Onne and Port Harcourt were dredged.
2. 5000 tons is SMALL even barges carry it.
Do you know that ordinary river barges in Nigeria already carry 2000-8000 tons daily on the Niger? Calabar Port currently with only 9.5m draft handles 15,000-20,000 ton vessels. So anyone saying Azumini cannot handle 5000 tons doesn't know shipping.
The plan is: Dredge to 10-12m depth like Calabar
Use feeder vessels and barges to connect to Ibom Deep Sea Port and Onne
Cargo moves from big ocean ships at Ibom/Onne to Azumini via barges, that is how 80% of ports work in the world (Rotterdam, Antwerp model).
3. The purpose is NOT to compete with Lekki, but to serve Aba.
Aba needs raw materials IN and finished goods OUT. If Azumini handles even 5000-10,000 ton vessels, logistics cost for Aba manufacturers drops by 40-60%. That is the goal not bragging about big ships.
4. They said Onne cannot work, today Onne is Nigeria's most modern port.
They said Ibom Deep Sea Port cannot work, construction has started. They always say Igbo projects cannot work.
They want us to keep going to Lagos to clear goods and then pay N1.8m per truck to bring it to Onitsha. That suffering is their business.
Azumini will work. The feasibility study will prove the dredging requirement, the draft, the cost and the design.
Stop listening to people who have never built a jetty arguing about tonnage.
SHARE to kill this propaganda.

BIAFRA OR DEATH
A lot of people have misinterpreted this IPOB slogan , Biafra or death and for clarity seek : The"Biafra or Death" slogan is a potent, extremely contentious slogan and mental belief system.
Enemies of Biafra restoration and those outside the struggle perceive the Biafra or death slogan as a provocation for violent rebellion, extreme secessionism, and ethnic animosity.
However , "Biafra or Death" does not necessarily imply the start of a traditional military conflict. Rather, it represents a dedication to relentless agitation , indicating that Biafrans will persistently agitate and champion for a referendum and autonomy, irrespective of imprisonment, Nigerian government repression, or life-threatening risks.
In IPOB's media, the slogan is presented as a protective measure. IPOB members are consistently saying that staying in Nigeria subjects the Biafra people to systemic marginalization, poverty, and violent insecurity, asserting that Biafrans encounter "death either way" if they do not separate from the contraption called Nigeria .

Veteran Nigerian multimedia journalist, Donu Kogbara, has said she sometimes wishes Biafra had succeeded, arguing that recent developments in Nigeria have made her question whether the country would have been better off separated.
Kogbara made the remark in a recent interview, recalling that her father had previously told her that perhaps it was a good thing Biafra did not emerge after the Nigerian Civil War.
However, she said the way Nigeria is currently being governed has changed her perspective, making her feel that it might have been better if Biafra had worked.
She also claimed that the British recognised the potential of the Biafra territory and contributed to its fragmentation.
@radiobiafralive
The Nigerian genocidal war against Biafra may have officially ended as a combatant conflict in January 1970, but in reality, it merely shifted to a new front, one fought without open arms, but with devastating structural consequences. Only a few truly understand that the war never actually ended; it simply changed its approach.
Keep a date with us, as we examine how the weapons of physical combat were replaced by systemic marginalization, economic exclusion, and forced displacement. We will explore how the lines drawn by colonial masters continue to fracture modern lives, how memory serves as our ultimate tool of resistance, and how the Biafran spirit refuses to be erased, standing resilient in the face of institutionalized, unequal citizenship.

Nigeria civil defense apprehended these children in Minna and were confined in a cell, that was sealed tightly against the heat and unfortunately all of them died inside.
This is horrible and that civil defense office must be shut down for life . Nigeria is evil and this is how theyโre killing innocent people even children. Where can such crime happen apart from Nigeria ? .
