By the time we incorporate Igbos living there,we'd ve gotten the needed sea access. Our seaboard is at opobo,so I wonder what you're saying

psucc:
But what will happen with their multi billion naira structures in the former countries? I see this a greater challenge as their elites are not ready to miss any.

viruz007:


Is Opobo in the Biafra land or in Niger Delta Land?

KELVINXY:
lemme just give u a clue.
1st.to have a peaceful society is the main aim.
and 2nd.to build a stronger economy,not based on oil alone.

carnegiefan:
Our nation Biafra shall do what most African countries never dare to do: SPEAKING THE TRUTH AT ALL TIMES.

That alone will create a foundational paradigm never before seen in Africa.

darfay:

Where u guys gonna get d money 2 build an economy from.
None of ur state has an igr of 3billion monthly, nxt 2 no oil reserves nd close 2 nothing or currently not much from fed allocation at the moment.
Being a landlocked territory ur goods gonna pass tru naija since u hav no ports, our customs are gonna tax u 3x more frustrating ur buiz men forcing outta buisness leaving u guys cash strap as broke as osun nd in no tym u gonna b running 2 IMF,world bank,chinese bank 4 loan and when u can't pay back CNN,BBC et Al are gonna b lyk "africa newest nation worse Dan Greece" anoda failed imf loan deal, 1 biafran dollar equals 1000dollars .+ d massive deportation of biafrans from naija + high crime rate due lack of employment etc
Sorry I guess I just did a 15-20 yrs economic analysis of an independent biafra something nnamdi kalu never bothered 2 do and it ain't so green.

rallymento:


Nice analysis but have you ever thought of other ethnic groups becoming a Nation once Biafra Emerges? Exportation will not be an issues at all. there are many Land locked countries in the world and they are still surviving. Biafra will be a land of peace, A land for the Christians, no mixed religion, No mixed culture.
If Biafra emerges do you think the Niger-Delta will remain part of Nigeria? the answer is NO. The Emergence of Biafra will give many Marginilised ethnicity the opportunity to break away and stand as a Nation, Once Biafra pulls out from Nigeria believe me, Nigeria in no distant time will cease to be a Nation. Have you ask why people kick against the Emergence of Biafra? it is not because of the nonsense unity in diversity they preach, The Ibos drives about 60% of the Nigerian economy if not more. Once we pull-out Nigeria will fall!!!!

MightySparrow:

You have just confirmed you abysmal lack of knowledge. What is the population of England when the colonised almost a quarter of the world including India and Pakistan together and still maintain their relevance in all.
I wonder what you Biafra guys are yearning for is fully understood by you Alaba traders or Aba traders or patent chemist owners in tn Maiduguri outskirts. You 'd better wake up.

finniblinks:
u are talking nonsense.britain did and not England.Igbos are into everything nameit.if Igbos leave US,Malaysia,China,Hong kong,Ivory coast,ghana,Benin,Togo,Nigeria etc their economies will feel the negative impact.
Igbos are everywhere and they are into everything

lygn19:

I ve dz feeling dat u are from Abia state, true or false?

finniblinks:
confirm Nwafor Imo state and nwafor Igbo the only ethnic white men called ''great''

johnydon22:
Ok seriously i have only few concerns here...

Igbos seccession (Good or bad for the igbos)

How is that now giving non-igbos more concern than igbos themselves

Why do non-igbos think about biafra more than igbos

why is biafra like a thorn in the flesh of non-igbos that are supposed not to be concerned

If biafra turns out bad, isn't that supposed to be the problems of biafrans, why are you all worried about it

why are non-igbos worried, afraid and angry that igbos want to seccede

As a matter of fact, if the west or north wanted to seccede, the igbo man would not even be concerned or worried or debate them not to or criticize them.
Because frankly they know how to mind their business and focus on what concerns them......... So why are you guys more concerned about biafra than igbos

p.s: Am not a stark pro biafra but at least i know when people should mind their business

MightySparrow:


Stronger economy for whom since igbo claim to be richest and bought every where in Nigeria and why are igbo not having peace in the now Nigeria?

And why? Are there not Igbo Muslims now by choice?

This is a rude truth

Accept it or not , its your own cup of hot monkey tail

1 (a) There will not be peace, This is not a curse or a spell, but we know Niger Deltas want the oil well , So does SS and SE , before they come to their senses , they will fight and terrorize each other

(b) They will fight over land , borders and land will cause disputes and they'll go to war , since Igbo is quite different from Idoma, Ijaw e.t.c.


2 Economy will collapse , Forming and running a country is not automated,It takes some time for a country to be recognized after secession , meaning there'll be no trade of the beloved crude oil , no trade means no revenue , I doubt there's any plan in place for structures, public offices , civil servants e.t.c , Non payment of Salary of former Nigerians for months will cause a lot of trouble for the new government and there will be breakdown of law and order

3 If they manage to keep the country afloat , there's still the issue of sharing formula between the states , Democratic elections will cause gbege since the same set of corrupt public holders are the ones who would be running the country and everyone will want to grab a handful


4 Since there's discord between them already , it begs the question which ethnic region will be the first to lead the country

5 A new country with no support is vulnerable to attacks and invasion from other countries , Insurgency and massob touts can not face a real army or protect their borders in the event of an attack



6 With so much hate and anger left behind by the secession , Goods and services that pass through what's left of Nigeria will be heavily taxed making business more frustrating for almost every one . Nigeria stopped food from getting to you once, your land can't be at it's best which means you'll import basic food crops , heavily taxed food = very expensive food , which citizens won't be able to afford

7 There'll be mass deportation and witch hunting of any Biafran Left in what's left of Nigeria , when the jobless meets the desperate , crime rate increases, with starvation and more desperation, it gets worse , You'll probably be charged heavily to return to Nigeria having to pay for housing , water, electricity , security , and discrimination before getting a job .

In summary , the land becomes a ruin, which will probably mean more petroleum for Nigeria in another million years or so he he he

Nigeria is not going to break anytime soon, u and I know that, u ve been on Nairaland since 2012, we ve fought online civil war abt Biafra so much that I know dat nothing would happen, one Nigeria.
Also if u guys wanted to break up stop trying to convince anybody abt how Biafra would survive, u guys are giving who so ever dat cares to listen reasons not to let u go.

chuna1985:


Keep deceiving urself, biafra ain't an igbo tin n will never be. Delta, rivers, calabar n akwa ibom are all biafrans. Bayelsans have also declared that they want to break away so do d maths. The 2 regions r united now n no lies can separate dem.

As for oil, we don't depend on it. But be rest assured we have lots of it.

the niger river will be dredge without nigeria opposing them because going by UN LAW inland countries has the right to dredge rivers running from their territories to the ocean or sea to enable them transport goods.Another is azumini river in abia state which is not too far from the atlantic ocean.
