PHAYOL81:


What part of the Western region was active in the civil war? Till the war was over, was one a spot of the battle? Go read history and throw away the hate instil in you by the oral record of your parents/grandparents.
Lagos was even hosting African cultural activities during the war (Festac66) and despite the war, the non-participants (Igbos) who stayed back in Lagos were not in any way threatened. Or is there a record, killing went on in Lagos too? My dear, the closest the war got to the west here was the Bini-Ore road and that was it. So, where was the bullet flying in the west?

And for your information, this wasn't a sudden break-out. The civil war revved up for months with warnings and threats. It led to Ojukwu's train (Biafran army) making some arrangements in readiness, which include but not limited to the creation of the BANK OF BIAFRA, the creation of the Biafran dollars, the purchase of ammunitions and the calling back of all eastern indigenes. No war ever break out suddenly, unless you're not paying attention or failing to see the reality; it gives everyone a little time to take a decision before it blows open. Check all records! And Biafra/Nigeria civil war was not any different.

I think there should be age restrictions before people are allowed to comment on politics section. Children should go play in the romance and education sections. But I owe it to the country to educate you.

The war wasn't fought in the west but there were documented attacks on easterners in Lagos before they left to Biafra. People mugged Igbos and other south south tribes openly in Lagos markets and traffic. The identifying factor was if you are looking "too fair, you will be accosted and forced to speak yoruba or they rough you up. People were beaten and sometimes robbed in plain sight in daylight. Some who came to work were advised to go back to the east for their own safety by Yoruba friends. This was in 1966, the Igbos never came back to withdraw any money until the war broke out.

In your second paragraph, the war was revving up but the Eastern region which comprised of the South East and most of the south south never returned to Lagos and the north because of the possibility of more killings as was witnessed before. That was the period Ojukwu was making every attempt to stop the war, that was when two historic events happened, the Aburi accord and the Ahiara declaration.

those yorubas in western countries are mostly employees,employees dont compete,40% out of 100% is very poor! what if foreigners decides to go back to their states and countries? do you no that 99 if not 100% of businesses,and investements in the east are own by easterners?....do you no that easterners own upto 10 to 15% investements across the nation outside their region?

There's nothing wrong with being an employee in another country. Being employable is a plus not a minus. If the foreigners decide to go back to their states/countries, two things. The burden on Lagos infrastructure will reduce which will open up new opportunities for new investors to take over where those who left stopped.
2. The new opportunities will lead to a drop in cost of living and doing business which will lead to another round of business explosion.

Besides, the foreigners will not be so easily convinced that they should abandon all their life's work and achievements just to prove a point. It doesn't work that way. The relationship is symbiotic so both will lose massively if leaving occurs.
The fact that 99% of business is owned by indigenes in igboland shows that the area is still massively underdeveloped. All developed cities all over the world have a good influx of foreign and portfolio investors who look to expand their businesses. That's why those cities are referred to as cosmopolitan. If the Igbo have no cosmopolitan city in their landscape, it shows how underdeveloped they are and the need to open up for more FDI.

Poverty is clearly concentrated along a belt that covers the north and moves along to the
eastern part of the country.


Poverty is concentrated in Ebolaland

You just showed you don't know how banking system works
The total money deposited in the banks today by Nigerians is over 84 billion dollars that's over 30 trillion naira ....but we have less than 10% of that in the banks or in circulation ...

So extrapolating to the Biafra time we can see the physical money has always been nothing compared to deposits

If Biafra had won the war and created a new country for themselves, would they still come back to claim money left in Nigerian banks? Why will anybody moving into his new country leave money behind in the old country?

how many companies are own by american individuals? all the companies own by americans in nigeria are either own by organisations(group of people) or by american government,you dnt compare that with a business own by an individual igbo...besides america or china are countries and can easily get a loan from their gvnt to establish,so dnt compare them to igbos that established them selves from personal hustle.

First of, American govt doesn't own companies. The scale of your business is dependent on ur financial ability. Most big businesses owned by foreigners in Lagos state are owned by foreign nationals not igbo. Igbos are generally found more in medium and small scale businesses.

You don't know how investment works. There'll be no waiting period. As long as Lagos retains most of its critical infrastructure. The influx will be sudden and massive. That's how investment works.

Reduction in cost of living in a city will attract labour to the city which is a critical factor in production. You don't understand a lot of things.

What do they sell in Onitsha market Exactly?
Is there a manufacturing hub nearby or is it imported goods?

That should help us establish the credibility of these claims.
There is no seaport I Anambra ,No significant manufacturing and you persist with this folly

EU can't seize money of British people in Europe Union banks ...they still have access to their money simple

You can't seize peoples money in your bank cos they separated

The 20 pounds was just just a gift to the easterners as they have converted their Naira to Briafra pounds which was useless after the war.

Naira?

Not after Biafra stole Nigeria’s money kept in calabar, Enugu and PH central bank. You will have to pay back what you stole before any consideration. Again, you guys claimed you lost all the records of money kept in Nigeria banks, so, what records are you going to present to the international community?

It is also important to state clearly that the war wasn’t something that happened over night. It took about a year before the war started. Igbos had enough time to withdraw their money and move their properties (other than landed ones) to Biafra. The crisis of July 1966 was limited to the barracks in the southern part of the country. Nobody touched civilian Igbos living in the western and mid-western Nigeria.

Anyway, Nigeria won the war and in essence owe you guys nothing. Gowon was simply magnanimous to have given every single Igbo adult 20pounds. God bless him and Awolowo for their magnanimity.

Those who relocated to Eastern region before the war withdrew their money from Nigeria banks..

Even those who did not relocate were sending their earned money to Ojukwu to buy amunitions.

The 20 pounds was just a gift. You people should be grateful for that.

Are you real or a robot?

You are just dumb ....I gave u an analysis that physical cash can never be more than 10% of total deposit and you are here talking rubbish

Why do you guys fail the read

SLAP44:
"This would mean that before an Igbo man would leave Kaduna, Lagos or Ibadan, he would have withdrawn all his money before crossing into Biafra."

I stopped reading at this point, I have never read such hogwash in all my life

I have a question for the OP, in the days leading to the mile 12 massacre of Yorubas by Fulanis in Lagos in 2015, how many of you withdrew all their money before fleeing all the way to Mowe and walking to Ibadan on foot?

Answer Me First

Besides banks get first hand information therefore, they make it extremely difficult for their customers to get their money on time before the war!!!

Even with the modern ATM most times, out of about over five, only one will be working!!!

How many bankers have been arrested for fraudulent activities

Even as I speak, many deceased, even with their next of kin are still finding it difficult to get access to the deceased money

No be Nigeria again

They will deliberately stall the collection, so that they (banks) will claim it.

Una go chop raw facts today.

They withdrew their money before relocating to Easterner region.

Ojukwu brainwashed them by telling them to convert their hard earned Naira to worthless Biafra pounds...

Gowon deliberately changed the Naira currency just to make the little ones still hoarding Naira amongst your people to be useless

Evidence that you don't know what you are talking about @bolded.

Who started the unnecessary attacks? Was is not your boyscott Biafra army?
