Biafra Currency To Begin Full Circulation In Igboland, Find Out When! by Nobody: 3:31pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
Against the backdrop of the continuous decline of
the naira largely blamed on the fall of the price of
crude oil, the Movement for the Actualisation of the
Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has threatened
to start exchanging naira for Biafran currency in
Igboland soon.
This, the Sun reports, was part of the statement
released by MASSOB’s Anambra North Director of
Finance, Mr. Martins Ezeaka, in Onitsha, Anambra
State on Sunday, where he claimed that since the
value of the Nigerian currency had depreciated, the
group may reintroduce the Biafran currency and
make people use it in South East, as it did in 2011.
Recall that the former leader of MASSOB, Chief
Ralph Uwazurike had on February 27, 2011
launched the Biafran currency, vehicles, motorcycle
plate numbers and driver’s licence. Ezeaka said:
MASSOB Threatens To Issue Biafran Currency In
Exchange Of Naira
“Now that the naira has depreciated, it is to
the advantage of Biafran currency because
you can buy things with Biafran money at a
very cheap price.
“We can now consolidate our finance sector
with valuable economy to meet the world
standard and we attribute this feat to our
brain, resourcefulness and holistic approach
to the struggle for a Biafran state”.
The director of finance made it clear that the great
difference in the exchange rate of the naira in the
parallel and official market was as a result of
corruption, saying:
“It is corruption in the financial sector that
made the naira to exchange for N200 officially
and about N350 in the black market"
Comrade Obaji Obaji, who is the MASSOB Director
of Agriculture in the zone, also made his own
contribution stating that Biafran land is naturally
fertilised for enough healthy farm produce, adding
that presently, Biafra has food that can sustain it
until a Biafran state is actualised. He said:
“We now go into mechanised agriculture in
places like, Adani, Igbariam,Atani, Nsukka,
Abakaliki, Ogbaru among others”.
