Next is Industry/Manufacturing:

This sector shall received MAXIMUM attention by the Biafran state. Basically suffice to say that technology shall form the legs upon which the nation shall stand. To make this happen as desired, a fixed percentage (2%) of the GDP must ANNUALLY be budgeted to support research and technology by Biafran universities and private tech companies, each of which must be made to specialize in one or two specific fields of technology.

For instance, a university can specialize in auto engineering, while another in computer engineering, and another in aviation physics and aerospace technology.

The government funds should be by way of grants mainly, each of which must only be renewed upon showing of WORLD CLASS products.
Biafra will aim to dominate specific corners of each field of technology. For example, Biafra can choose to be the worldwide authority in ship propellers, or naval navigation systems (software for example)

The grants should go to universities and private companies which have demonstrated RESULTS not plans.

So, to recap. Biafra will invest at least 2% of GDP into technological innovations ANNUALLY.

Biafra has demonstrated during the last war that our engineers could build guided anti-ship missiles, and that was at a time when computers have not been very much miniaturized. Building such weapon today should be easier since we also have better trained scientists and engineers.

Biafran scientists shall work both in universities, and tech companies on a rotating basis.

One more issue to discuss is Taxation:
A very sound taxation system is the bedrock of a modern economy. I personally prefer that we emphasize more on VAT (or sales tax) than any other taxes. PAYE is still good, but it tends to be evaded by people a lot. But a robust VAT system and a reduced company tax would help to attract some of the world leading companies (after infrastructure has been first taken care of, of course). Instead of hounding people all over the place because of personal income tax ( a lot of our people will still be traders and business persons no matter what), we can have a high rate of VAT. We can use VAT to encourage or discourage consumption of particular goods and services.

[b]Boy, you are in serious need of history and religious lessons, which I will not oblige you because you are not configured to learn. Briefly, in 1400BC the Assyrians inhabited Jerusalem which they called Ursaliimmu.

It later changed hands and was occupied by the Jebusites who called it Jebus. During the times of the ancient Hebrew, they called it Salem. I told you that the biblical names of those places were mistranslated and were not Israelis names or language.

The above is just to enlighten you that what you read in the Bible is not to be taken literally. On the allegorical interpretation of the Bible there are already 4 different ways of understanding the bible. Yet you are making general and unspecific references to the Bible and asking questions.

Only an elementary child answers a question with a question! I now see that you are not worth it because dogmatism is in front of your learning ability. If you want to resurrect dead biafra from internet, you are welcome to spend your aimless dream online. You will know when you wake up! [/b]

Mr man
My facts are not based on some nonsensical Roman configured book called bible
My facts are based on real history
Like I asked
Why are those cities/towns not answering their so called original names
If the names where changed
When where the names of those cities/towns changed and by who
Why was the al-aksa mosque built on a site where the already existing temple of solomon was
Arabic as a language originates from present day saudi arabia
Now how did it find it's way to prsent day isreal
Also where were the Isrealites living before they found themselves scarttered all over europe and other parts of the world
These are simple questions you are supposed to be able to answer if your facts are right
As for biafra
Don't bother yourself cause its restoration is already on the way

Ngwaukwu1:


I apologise to the originator of his thread for this slight distraction, but I do need to chip in here, given that the history provided in the above post, in an attempt by the poster to come across as more intelligent than he is, is somewhat misleading.

While the name Ursaliimu as he rightly stated was the name given to Jerusalem by the Assyrians (Catholic Encyclopaedia), the Assyrian records as at 1400 BC referred to it as Urusalem, hinting at the fact that a people were already existing there as at the time they invaded that land. The name Urusalem is derived from the root word “Ur”, which in Indo-European and Semitic languages mean “origin” (similar to the Mongol word “Urug” or “Oruk” for “clan”). We are all familiar with biblical history that mentions the patriarch Abraham, originating from Ur at a time frame placed at between 2000 - 2500 BC. The origin of the secondary root word “Salem” is debatable. While some argue that it is derived from Shalim or Shalem, the name for the god of dusk in the Canaanite religion, it is also related to the Hebrew word for "peace" (Wikipedia).

The point of this little expose is to point out to the above poster that what he has written does not in any way make a stronger case for the Palestinian claim of being autochthonous to that area more than the Israelis. If it was that simple the issue of Palestine would have been long since resolved.

Biafra, however, is a much more straight forward issue, so I think it would make a lot of sense at this point for those trying to derail this thread to seriously consider packing up their bags and f!cking off to whichever hole they crawled out from. I do honestly apologise for my use of crude language though!

Biafra is a settled or closed matter as far as Nigerians are concerned. It is equally a non-issue and does not have Snowball's chance in hell of coming out alive. Rather than anyone, I think you old gizzard should crawl back into your rat hole!

Amansu:


[b]Jerusalem is one of the most divided and most bitterly fought-over cities in the human history. Both Jews and Arabs claim Abraham ancestry. Jerusalem is an ancient city that had been built and renovated by three principal civilizations, namely: Islam, Judaism and Roman/Greek Christianity.

It was a city under constant wars. Inevitably, those who could afford it emigrated. Some to other parts of the Roman Empire, other Arab states and others to Europe and beyond. Those who emigrated never lost their religion but those that returned after Hitler's extermination project were greatly adulterated Jews, i.e., not true-blooded by virtue of generations of mixed marriages and hazy connection to some obscure ancestry.

To day, being a Jew is synonymous with Zionism, influence, power and connection in international politics, economy, commerce and some say, global dominion because of their hold on America. This is why the Arabs are losing out and the Palestinians find themselves without their ancestral land.

As for biafra, I disagree because the restoration is in the internet and it takes more than a computer and online insults to do that[/b]!

How will I respond to a monkey that says what Biafra have in common with other parasite that makes up nigeria is : " ibos are dependent to nigeria in air,land and sea" . Is that an answer to my question? What do we have in common? Do we eat the same food? Same ideology? Same system of government? Religion nko? Please join that monkey in the cage.

Its obvious you are not ready to get to the truth of the matter
If you do you will be able to give insights to those simple questions I asked
Anyway
As much as ancient history is filled with lots of conquering and land grabbing activities
One thing is certain
Every city or town is and has always been established by a set of people
The people give the cities or towns names based on their indeginous languages which are often based on their understanding and relationship with the area in which this cities or towns are formed
Jerusalem, galilee, judea etc are all cities and town within the land of Isreal established by the various tribes of isreal
Remember Jerusalem is also nicknamed "the city of David"
Who is David
Is he not a one time king of isreal
The Arabs (no matter how closely related to the isrealites they are), the romans, ancient jebusites, philistaines etc did not establish those cities or towns
They have rather being constant invaders into those cities and towns at different periods of ancient history
The isrealites have always been invaded and taken into slavery (which was the order of the day during ancient times) at different points in ancient history
As much as this did happen they always returned to their land from exile
When they return they always rebuild their destroyed land and most of its important structures
Case in point the rebuilding of King solomons (remember king solomon is king Davids son) temple many times after their return
The medivial era was the last time they where invaded and disperse from their land of which many went into exile in europe and other parts of the world with the aim of not returning back
The constant persection in Europe which climaxed with the events of world war 2 made them to resolve to return back to their land with the determination never to be invaded and desparsed again
The process of returning back to their land made them to meet a situation already created by the descendants of the romans (spear headed by the diabolical vartican), the descendants of the philistines (present day palestinians) as well as the evil and demonic British (who had and still have a sinester plan with the situation they created)
With the situation on ground they had no option than to fight their way in back to their land
History is filled with lots of conspiracies and coverups
Are the current isreali's the true Isrealites
We cannot really say
But one thing is certain
The Arabs/Philistians (aka palestianians) have no right, I repeat NO RIGHT to claim that land because it does not belong to them
DON'T BOTHER ABOUT BIAFRA CAUSE NO ONE HAS THE POWER TO STOP IT'S RE-EMERGENCE

If you don't know this
do some proper research

How come Britain over-powered Biafra and made her not only a colony of UK but also a region of Nigeria?

I wanted to ignore this but I had to quote. Please go and upgrade your education because you have shown your lack of enlightenment on history. Biafra is not an Igbo affair,Igbo is a language in Biafra. Google can help your lazy ass on research and it is far more better than your gutter press and nairaland.

There is nothing bad like a man who does not know but insists that he knows!

You were responded to by several members already with brief history of those biblical cities with names of inhabitants and dates but you continue with tediously didactic harangue.

Despite your claim that your facts were not based on the Bible, you continued to quote the Bible haphazardly with the singular aim of striking some obscure point regardless of its irrelevance. As someone said earlier, this blind dogmatism is the worst form of ignorance.
