Will Biafrans Need Work Permit In Nigeria? by old2boy(m): 6:42pm On Dec 04, 2015
Just watching the development so far and pondering if Nigeria without Biafra will benefit by making money from work permits and taxation of 'foreign' businesses.

Is there any Political scientist in the house to enlighten us?

No NOT FINISHED & definitely Not about how to rule Biafra but about serious consideration before action that may soon be regretted by some or exploited by others.

I am old enough to remember witnessing the expulsion of Ghanaians in the early 80s. Maybe that is the origin of calling large polythene sacks 'ghana-must-go'. Many lost all. Are Biafrans ready to leave Nigeria?

For manufacturing maybe, but not for trading.

The banks would fund young entrepreneurs who will identify areas where demand outweighs supply and channel people into it.

Only job roles tha can't be filled locally and no one can be trained for it will be open to non Ooduas.

We will promote local content first.

Investors with suitable funds would also be given rights first but we will enact laws that will prevent capital flight.

Work is going on......

If you look at the top of the Nigerian passport, you will see "ECOWAS" embossed on it. What this means is that any of the 15 member nation in the ECOWAS sub-region can travel, live and work in each other's countries, including Nigeria, without the need for visa or work permit. Biafra will apply to join ECOWAS and that application is likely to be accepted since Biafra is in West Africa and used to be a member under Nigeria. When Biafra joins ECOWAS, they will be free to travel to any part of Nigeria, live and work without any work permit unless Nigeria pulls out of ECOWAS.

I thought of ECOWAS actually but remembered Ghana-must-go. Some of the best school teachers then were Ghanaians but were deported as illegal immigrants or workers without valid papers. Are you sure of the duration of the free travel, and the work aspect? Last time i checked, Ghana had always been ECOWAS.

Do Nigerians need work permit in Ghana? What benefits have Nigeria earned from work permits and taxations of foreign businesses till date? Biafra will be accorded all diplomatic pedigrees as given to nations as member of AU. Nigeria or whatever comes out of disintegrated Nigeria shall be accorded the same lawful pedigree in Biafra. I do not know why most Nigerians jump into the mindset of hostility the moment Biafra is mentioned. Czechoslovakia is longer one country and two countries out of the it are happily related.

The 'Ghana must go' crises happend in the 1980's. At that time, Nigeria had not yet signed the 1993 ECOWAS treaty on freedom of movement that was later ratified in 2007.

Really??.

Sorry to disappoint you, the Ecowas treaty does not give you a right to work or reside permantly in their country.

Take GhAna for example, it's so damn hard to extend your coy branch to Ghana. CAC is not recognized, you have to register as a legal entity in Ghana.

They are also local content driven, you can't just post your staff from Nigeria, you must employ Ghanaian staff and justify to the govt why you need your Nigerian staff in Ghana.


There's no free lunch anywhere o

This is the stupidity of IPOB and their members

You dont think things through. You are all shortsighted


Go and read the ECOWAS rules. All member countries must agree to admit any additional member. So Nigeria has to sign and approve Biafra membership before they can be admitted. Any member can veto Biafra membership application.

In case you are not aware, one of the major reasons why the Scottish referendum failed is because the EU could not guarantee their automatic membership of the body. The UK and Spain would have vetoed it straight away. Why do you think Turkey will probably never join the EU? Greece, Cyprus will rather die than allow it.

You know what means, dont you?

I will bet you dont!
