Biafra has the needed human resources to become Africas super power

For your information, those women didn't get there because they are Biafrans. First, it was because they worked hard for themselves, and secondly because they're blacks and Nigerians.

And mind you, they aren't as daft as you are. Otherwise, they would've been on the streets, protesting, fighting for one lousy Biafra. But they are well educated individuals, who know what they want in life, and not blindly following one albino from oversea who will be deceiving them.

I have time for you o!
