ECOWAS member states require no visa. Property taxes may go up. But we can compensate for that by raising prices of our goods so Nigerian consumers will indirectly pay the taxes.

The request by some Northern youth groups for Igbos in the South East to be allowed to hold referendum and become Biafra is a trap. It is intended to turn the South East into the world’d biggest ‘independent’ prison. Why do we say so? Let’s examine the facts.

Igbos would no longer be Nigerian citizens and therefore could easily be deported from Lagos and other parts of Nigeria: instead of traveling around Nigeria freely as Nigerian citizens, they would have to return to Biafra and go to the Nigerian Embassy to get visa to return to their properties in Lagos, Abuja, etc.

Something tells me that if ever Igbos are mass deported in this situation, they will have to pay through their noses to go back to their jobs and houses and schools in Nigeria.

[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]And some Nigerian state governments would impose quota saying, ‘ Now we have tricked the Igbos out. Let us impose immigration quota on them to keep them out. Nigeria will only accept 10,000 Igbo immigrants per year. And any Igbo coming in must be made to pay through their nose for visa and work permit.’ South East Igbos, how about that?

If you try to shout that you were born in Lagos and are therefore a Lagosian, they will remind you that you are no longer a Nigerian citizen but a foreigner, since your people decided to vote for ‘independence’.

So, all of you Igbos that live outside the South East don’t rejoice over this referendum. Defeat it with common sense reasoning.

So what stops Biafra from joining ECOWAS? If the other member countries of ECOWAS refuse to recognise Biafra, and Nigeria is able to muster support within that group to prevent Biafra's admission. Getting membership of ECOWAS, is not automatic. Secondly, article 4 of the ECOWAS Protocol on Free Movement still allows member states to deny citizens from other countries within the region, entry into their borders, if they believe such potential entrants could constitute a security risk, a threat etc. The average Biafran is unlikely to visit Nigeria for tourism, they would want to visit Nigeria for trade & commercial purposes.


Oh you got it right! May God increase the wisdom He has deposited in your life!

IPOB should join the restructuring movement within Nigeria. It can form a political party banking on Nnamdi Kanu's popularity and contest in 2019.

GoroTango:
Amen brother. We've already thrashed this matter on the other thread i think two, three weeks ago? I recall you and jjphilip's brilliant submissions on the subject matter. I think the OP is being rather mischievous opening this thread given that he made his position clear on that thread and he countered.

True!!

I keep telling who so ever cares to listen that mazi is not Sharp.

He ought to have used his cult of large followership to negotiate better for Nigerian masses
.he would have been loved by all ethnic, tribes ,Religion and beliefs

Milions may not be allowed back in. The 'Nigerian' side would want revenge, and the way they will exact it is to limit migration and other frustrating tidbits. Suddenly, going to Lagos to sell gala or laptops becomes something you have to go to an embassy for. We are helping Nnamdi Kanu by pointing this out now. Nothing is so saddening as when your own people accuse you of misleading them.

jaychubi:
Op what ur tiny brain has failed to see is dt if Igbos leave Nigeria business scene it will be a ghost country business wise in Nigeria, Nigerians will need Biafra visa more than we will need it.

Millions of jobs will be created in Biafra too as we build our institutions so jobs won't be a problem n Biafra is more than South East.

See the map n be guided

How many times have you been told to remove Warri and Ughelli from that your useless map? Una no dey hear word?

jaychubi:
Chill bro this is beyond everyone we are only restoring d biafra dt existed for almost 3 years b4 n dts d original map

laudate:

Don't be funny. The old Biafra that existed for 3 years in the past, did NOT have Warri & Ughelli inside it! What brand of 'kaikai' have you been drinking?
