In 1970 after the war the Nigerian government generally gave £20 of Nigerian money to every eligible adult but no one has ever done the math.

Let us assume their were one million of them =£20million Nigerian

We know that the Nigerian pound exchanged for £2 pounds sterling in 1970 so
that would be £40 million . What would that be worth today

according to this inflation calculator

https://www.moneysorter.co.uk/calculator_inflation2.html
it would be
£432612859. Sterling
Not sure what sterling is doing these days but @ 475

that is

205491108025 Naira

200 billion

Assuming it was 1 million people that received the money. No one has ever told us how many did but I think it could be double that.

For a country to pay that out immediately after a war of such devastation is a huge feat considering that Nigeria was not even a major oil exporter in1970 and in 1970 oil prices were under $4 which when adjusted for inflation in today's money is $21.

It is a testament to the prudent financial management of Papa Awo who also kept the allocation of East Central state for 3 years and paid it all after the war


But they are not grateful and feel entitled to that payment. What have we done for the NE . Imagine finding 200 billion to give them today when oil prices in real terms are 3 X what they were in 1970

The standard of living was much lower. Let me put it in Perspective our standard of living then, There was no Lagos Ibadan Expressway. No East -West Road. PH to Aba was a single carriage way.The Air assault camp was the main airport in PH Omagwa airport did not exist. There was nothing like presidential jet. Where were the airports?
The country was broke with very little compared to today but still gave generously in the spirit or sacrifice and reconciliation

Rotimik:


The same lies I've had everywhere - radio, television, newspapers. Name it.

It is on record that Awolowo saved all Federal allocations to the Eastern region throughout the 3 years of the gruelling civil war, and handed it over to their political leaders after the war who wasted it, because they will not hold their leaders accountable.

The same thing is still happening today. Igbos are not holding their leaders accountable but are quick to cry marginalized.

Pathetic plonkers By una sef you exposed the people who embrace lying as a culture. 0.5 Shillings in nursery school my arse

So I should ignore The Guardian UK and buy your childish fable?

Mr, u are painfully ignorant.
not every adult was given 20pounds, BUT THOSE WHO HAD EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAD SAVINGS IN BANKS BEFORE THE START OF THE WAR.

and u seriously think that much paper evidence will survive after a 30 month bitter war that ravaged almost every part of the east.

Let's listen to what Sanusi, a son of the caliphate had to say on this issue.

"The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.
Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity".

Pay close attention to this part of Sanusi assessment of Igbo travails in Nigeria. What Monetary fiat was Sanusi referring to? Of course, the twenty pounds policy meant to pauperize the Igbo by the Yoruba intelligentsia, just few months before they pushed for nationalization of foreign firms in Nigeria, which resulted in the majority of the companies ending up in Yoruba hands, having made sure the Igbos were in no position to challenge them for those firms, via the Monetary fiat (20 pounds policy), instigated by Awolowo and his Yoruba cabal.

Sir, no disrespect here. One of the best ways of wasting your time is to try and reason with Ibos.
