Labourers Find Biafra Pounds Hidden In Bottle And Buried During Biafran War by dainformant(m): 3:48pm On Jan 25, 2019 |
An unexpected discovery was recently made by some construction workers in the eastern part of Nigeria. The workers were digging round an old village house before discovering stash of Biafran pounds hidden inside a bottle buried in the ground. The Biafran pound was the currency of the breakaway Republic of Biafra between 1968 and 1970 during the civil war. The labourers and other villagers were shocked at the sight of the money as they wondered what might have made the "wealthy" owner bury the cash. This is coming after a Nigerian entertainer based in America, Chinomso Prince Egbuchere and his family discovered a huge sum of Biafran pounds their grandfather hid in the ceiling during the Biafran war. The grandfather died over thirty years ago and reportedly hid the money along with other items in the ceiling.

Stinginess He does not want people to know he has money. Last, last, he died and left the money behind. Some people who grew up with poor parent most times are scared of wealth. The poverty steak still shows in them. Nigeria we hail thee!!! 73 Likes 1 Share |

Those monies should be taking to the museum. Biafra is still achievable probably when a genuine leader with no aggression towards other tribes emerges from the East. A leader that stays in Nigeria and knows the pain of his people not an aggressive one that will endanger the lives of his people by instigating them against the military. A leader that understands that sometimes it's diplomacy and not aggression that can win battle Bash me I don't care the truth is bitter. 137 Likes 11 Shares |

okomile: First of all, Great Ndị Igbo is not stingy. We are very competitive. After the war, if you are seen with the money, you will be executed. It is safer to hid the money by burying it. BTW, Igbo People and wealth are like lovers. Instead of Afonjas and Herdsmen to bend down and learn, they rather chose to be envious wallowing in poverty. 94 Likes 8 Shares |

Charmingrascal:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ I'm an expert on Nigerian Civil War history and have a deep knowledge of pre/post Civil War history. Those rebel currencies had NO value because they were REJECTED by the International community and could not be used as legal tenders during the Civil War. Infact Ojukwu ordered that Nigerian Pounds should be submitted by all returnee Ibos and non-Ibos in the former Eastern Region because they had more value than the hurriedly created rebel enclave currency notes... which could ONLY be used in the Rebel enclave and eventually became valueless like toilet paper shortly before the Oso Agha (Civil War) ended. It may shock you that more than 1 year after Secession it was Nigerian Pounds that Colonel Ojukwu and his team were using to buy weapons in the international arms black market. Then the big BANG. On the advice of the British, Nigeria changed her currency notes in 1968, and then all the old Nigerian Pounds the rebels had collected from returnees to the breakaway Eastern region of Nigeria, including those in the treasury and those looted from the Central Banks branches, became useless because they couldn't buy things in the international market again and that was one of the main reasons the Civil War ended when it did thereby reducing the loss of more lives! The Civil War should even have ended in early 1969 but Federal Forces had to be less aggressive to avoid civilian casualties. So, the Rebel currency notes were WORTHLESS in the international community because they knew the supposed "country" was illegally created without the support of the TRUE leadership of the minority ethnic groups such as the leaders of the COR Movement (Calabar, Ogoja, Rivers) such as Ken Saro Wiwa, Chief Harold Dappa - Biriye from Bonny Island and who is seen as the father of the Ijaw nation... and many more who accused Ibos of forcing them into a breakaway enclave. So they stayed with Nigeria and these ethnic minorities provided troops and fighters for the Nigerian Armed Forces... Such as Colonel Etuk, Isaac Jasper Adaka - Boro from Ijaw and Captain Elechi Amadi, the former President-General of Ogbakor Ikwere who fought in the 3rd Marine Commando of the Nigerian Army during the Civil War. The United Nations also did not recognize the Secession so the rebel leadership had to use Nigerian Pounds right into 1968 to stay afloat. I have since 1981 read books written by Officers who were active on both sides during the Civil War so I have vast knowledge in this area from OBJ, to Alexander Madiebo, to Hilary Njoku, Alabi-Isama and more! Please read more as it enables you to be savvy, wise, and avoid mistakes of the past. Cheers! Cc:Xslaze3xd 47 Likes 7 Shares |

Chizuru01:They could simply burn the notes then instead of buying if they are scared of being caught with it. That would be the safest option. |
