Now, I hope that you will beat me black and blue. I expect you to go straight to the point. I have low tolerance for round-the-circle argument. Ok?!

What you have tolerance for is irrelevant, in my eyes.

Simply address the points raised. Put up, or shut up.

Don't get emotional my dear. There is no medal to be won here. I will like to have the points which u raised. Can you list them. List them while I review the thread from where I stopped. But you have to be ready to address my points too.

I carefully observed your own escape, then immediately after planned my own. You served as an inspiration to many.

Sure, just examine the last two posts I made to you before you vanished. Take as much time as you need.

I was the doctor who treated your nut case, and gave you a laptop to browse on saturday night, the kind, fair doctor remember?

Indeed, I remember that this is the story you told the other residents of the asylum.

And shortly after telling that story about being a doctor, you'd go frothing at the mouth like a mad dog and have to be forcibly sedated

1. You claimed that Biafran currency was useless and valueless. Then I asked you "on what ground did you make such claim?"

2. I asked you to list the economic indices which economists use to determine the strength of any currency. You could not mention any. You only opined that the strength of currency is determined by the forces of demand and supply.

Etc

Is that the only thing your deranged brain is telling you, then you are still sick and we are coming to haul you in. let me bring you chains because you may harm people in the streets

So, your best bet is to carefully read the two posts made. Like I said earlier, take as much time as you need to digest the point. Then once you finish, come up with a suitable response, quoting as needed.

Bros, how can a man more mentally unbalanced than I possibly help me? Who is this "we" you speak of? You and your clan of escapees?

At a minimum, wouldn't I want a real doctor to treat me, not a mental patient like yourself pretending he is a doctor?

I hope you wont bore me tonight? Pls respond to my last comment.

It seems that the onus is on you to respond to the posts I made nearly three weeks ago, which you have yet to address.

Once you do so, then I'd be happy to respond again.

Katsumoto: ACM10

Why do you persist in debating topics that are above your pay grade?

Really?

During the war, Biafran currency had value. At the end of the war, it no longer had any value.

How can you claim that a currency which was still used as a means for the exchange of goods had no value? It had value; only that the central mechanism for the control of the currency had been removed. Any paper that can be used to exchange goods and services has value.

Currency is not an asset; it is just paper. It is only has valuable as the goods and services for which it can be exchanged within an area as a medium of exchange. Would a meat seller in Kano accept your Biafran pounds? Can you pay for a haircut in New York with Naira? No to both questions. However, if a currency has cross-border strength, it could be used.

You are contradicting yourself here.

The market determines the worth of a currency but it is influenced by central bankers through monetary policy. How investors and users respond to policy is what determines the value. You can also peg a currency but that equally has implications because pegging requires central bankers to use reserves to maintain the peg.

Investors response to government policy is not the only determinant of the value of a currency. It is part of the factors which determines the value of a currency.

Biafrans wanting to have their own currency after the war is impractical for the same reasons as a man with 30 children, 80 grand-children, and 150 great grandchildren. You can exchange your currency within your family but at some point you have to exchange your goods and services for those being exchanged outside your family and you can't force them to accept your currency.

But, it's unfair to grab their wealth from them by fiat. Wont it be nice for Awolowo to step asides and allow economists to determine how to integrate the currency of the defunct Biafrans to Nigeria? Why should Awo take the lead in the process?

Buzz off! And pls don't harass me next time. I hate empty boasts. I get bored debating with people like you. You are obviously a kid. I can sense that from your comments. The claim that you beat me mercilessly was an indication of immaturity.

WTF am I doing with u?!

I am glad that you have learned your lesson, at least. If you are having an argument with someone and they demolish your arguments so badly that you flee the thread for nearly three weeks, don't expect to be able to use those same bad arguments on other threads.

I guess the point has been made.

The only points made here are that you will die of bad belle, and buried in ebonyi state

OK, this is a slightly less dull tale than your yaba left one. How did you come up with it? Why Ebonyi specifically? Elaborate on your story.

because they have salt in their land there and i need the acidity to act on you underground

1. Isn't the salt in water?
2. Salt isn't acidic, I thought?
3. Presumably coffins prevent acid in soil from acting on a corpse?

Hmm...very dry joke. Your yaba left one was better

You should consider sticking to your current occupation of asylum escapee rather than trying to enter comedy

Dont worry your head, when we nail your coffin and throw you into an unmarked grave in ebonyi, you will find out real fast.
