Worthless piece of paper from a worthless group of people in a worthless region of Nigeria.

This is a piece of history. But your messed-up tribalistic gutter of a mind won't let you see that.
I'm not igbo, but I now understand why they call Nigeria a zoo. Its cuz of animals like you.
Oloshi.

This is actually a historical relic which should make up reflect back and see ways of moving ahead with better understanding of tolerance and the likes. This is not an avenue to castigate a region or tribe my brother.

Yes there is freedom in expression but dat does not make insulting a tribe OK. There is a saying here in Nigeria that 'there is freedom of speech but freedom after speech can not be guaranteed '

Abookii have you read this piece by a national mirror yoruba journalist?

“Produits Fanmilk a vendre…des
produits de Fanmilk a vendre. Nous
acceptions Naira, Cedi, CFA, Dollars, et meme du Biafra Pound…Fanmilk
products e dey for sale…fanmilk
products e dey for sale….we dey
accept am for Naira, Cedi, CFA, Dollar, and even Biafran Pound”, the dairy products’ vendor shouted to the hearing of everyone, in apparent
attempt to get persons to patronize
him. This was at Ilacondji, at the very
frontiers of Benin-Togo. The vendor, a Togolese employee of the Fan Milk
Company, a Nigerian international
dairy firm, could speak some pidgin
English and good French. He was
obviously a well-travelled West
African, who had probably worked in Nigeria and lived in Ghana. I needed to find out more about his Biafran Pound.
“Mon ami”, I politely called him, “avez- vous dit que vous acceptez Livre du Biafra”? (Did you say you accept Biafran currency here? “Oui”, he quipped, adding, “i lest legal ici au Togo et d’autres pays Francophones.
Elle est belle et precieuse. Il est notre
monnaie preferee” (It is a legal tender
here in Togo and some other French-
speaking countries in West Africa. It is
beautiful. It is our favourite currency).
I probed further: “S’il vous plait, pius
je le voir? Quelle est la valeur a Naira?
(Please, let me see it. What’s its value
compared to Naira?) The response
dazed me: “It is currently N368 Naira
to a Biafran Pound!!!” This was the
most explosive part. N368 Naira to an
illegal currency of a non-existent
state? Who could be behind this mint
and which Central Bank is regulating
and standardizing it to the extent of
giving it such a global value?
I took a snapshot of the money and
handed it over to the Fanmilk vendor.
I bought two products from him in
Naira and looked around me to find
out that a startled crowd was looking
at me, JJC, who was just finding out
for the first time that Biafran Pound
was a major means of exchange in
the Francophone frontiers in West
Africa. The persons crossing the
border like me were just wondering
what drama I was putting up and
soon took their eyes away from my
spectacle the moment I bought my
Yoghurt and allowed the poor vendor to be.
For me, it was a moment of rare
discovery. I was lost in thought,
perturbed, worried at the deeper
implications of the seemingly
interesting finding I just made. Who is behind the Biafran Pound? Which
Central Bank is printing and regulating
it? Why is it a legal tender outside
Nigeria? Why are Francophone
countries, our so-called good
neighbours and co-members of
ECOWAS the ones recognizing and
accepting it as a means of
transaction? How come it has so
much value, even higher than the
British Pound and other western
currencies? Who and what is Biafra in the present-day Nigeria?
The journey to Aflao was
characterised by mind puzzles. Could France, Nigeria’s biggest threat in West
Africa be behind this pantomime?
Could the Togolese government and its counterparts in Ivory Coast and other Francophone countries be
boldly supporting the re-emergence
of Biafra in order to break Nigeria?
My discovery at Aflao was more
worrisome. Ghana, also recognizes
and accepts the use of the Biafran
Pound as a means of exchange!
However, most Ghanaians and
Nigerians of Igbo origin, I learnt, use
the currency discretely. They are not
as brazen about it as the Togolese,
Beninoise and Ivorians. But the
Biafran Pound is the most popular
currency in Ghana. My take on the
Ghana episode is that the “friendly”
government of that country cannot
not say it does not have any security
report about a Biafran Pound-
business that is said to be as old in
Ghana (Aflao in particular) as
immediately after the Civil War.
On return to Nigeria, I approached
some senior Igbo colleagues in the
academia, narrating my encounters
and expressed my worries.
Concerned but not new to them, they explained that it had been an old development, which has however gained momentum in more recent times. I was made to realize that the Igbos have not yet given up on “Biafra” and that there are grand plans to “regain” their independence.
I gathered that the Pound had been a collectors’ item, which, ipso facto,
would give it a lot of value, but
explained that the tenability of the
currency along the West African
coastline is the machination of some powerful and unrepentant “Biafran leaders”, whose international goodwill and connections have
pervaded West Africa and beyond. Sheriff Folarin/National
