Biafra Currency Will Be Called 'Ejemma' by izuswift(m): 12:57pm On Sep 04, 2020
Everything is falling in place
This is ejemma ancient Biafra currency also known as ego Igwe. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on today's broadcast of 4/9/2020 said we shall return to our ancient currency when we get Biafra and the currency will be called "Ejemma"

How do you expect an ijaw, Efik, kalabari or Ibibio man to pronounce this ? Your Biafra which is a legitimate struggle by the way is too Igbocentric to the exclusion of other tribes that IPOB is trying to coerce into the movement. Thanks to Buhari, we’re already second class citizens in Nigeria, lower than Fulani cows, we can’t face the same scenario in a new nation. Nnamdi Kanu and co should do the needful or leave us out of his charade cool

I don’t think Mazi Kanu or IPOB have the power to coerce the Ijaw nation or any other to do what they don’t wanna do! On the day, i would imagine they would be free to join Biafra (where decisions would be taken and agreed upon by all based on equality of all constituent units), form their own republic, or opt to remain in ‘one Nigeria’! This accusation of ‘forcing anyone to join Biafra’ is just something used to scare other ethnicities in the East!

i asked a question, how do you expect my people to pronounce your ejemma ? My grandpa having whatever is irrelevant here, you can’t force your Igbo culture and words down the throats of those of us from other cultures.

How does ejema sound Igbo?

Your grandfather having it means he used it and knows it and probably pronounced it same ejema...NOW CAN YOU SEE HOW RELEVANT IT IS....

THE NAME BIAFRA WASN'T EVEN NAMED BY THE SO CALLED IGBO....IT WAS AN IJAW MAN....THAT NAMED IT....HAVE YOU HEARD AN IGBO MAN SAYING OH NO....BIAFRA IS NOT IGBO ITS IJAW WE CAN NOT ANSWER SUCH NAME? THE SEED OF DISCORD THE ENEMIES PLATED MANY YEARS AGO BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR COUSINS SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED ANYMORE AND MANY PEOPLE ARE WAKING UP TO THE TRUTH

Coerce, force..... Where're these coming from?

The quest for coming together of other ethnic nationalities other Igbo is through persuasion, reason, logic and argument, certainly not via coercion and force.

Stop changing narratives.

That’s not biafran it is called a Mannila, it was used in the Kongo empire, Benin empire, lumbu empire, Swahili empires. Infact it was in use in most ancient sub Saharan empires, at one point or another.

It is igbocentric because it's mostly the igbos who are fighting for the cause. Nobody asked you not to join the struggle right? If you don't want biafra to be seen as igbocentric, then don't leave the work for igbos alone . Anyways, the igbos I know will still welcome anyone who did not struggle for the actualization of biafra.

Leaded bronze ceremonial object, thought to have been the head of a staff, decorated with coloured beads of glass and stone, 9th century, from Igbo Ukwu, Nigeria; in the Nigerian Museum, Lagos. Height 16.8 cm.

Re: Biafra Currency Will Be Called 'Ejemma' by hammer8: 6:50pm On Sep 04, 2020
THESE THINGS OUR ANCESTORS BUILT WERE MONEY AND THAT WAS Y EUROPEANS STOLE THEM.


OUR CURRENCY SHOULD BE DECORATED WITH THEM


WATEVA CURRENCY BIAFRA ADOPTS SHOULD INCORPORATE THIS HISTORY AS EARLIEST FINANCIAL OBJECTS.


THE CURRENCY NAME SHOULD BE DERIVED FROM THERE.
