Sapiosexuality:
Logic.

If I am about to start a war with you, will you let me have access to my resources especially when you don't want me to take the decision you advised me against? No.

Of course you don't feed an enemy. It is an unintelligent war strategy to feed your enemy. But another thing is, is it morally right to refuse to allow food into the house of your enemy?

The fact it is a war strategy is understandable and the same thing holds with the grudge the people hold against him. While it also goes against the hypocritical UN red lines, we don't cuss the rapist for hating whoever raped her. Doesn't that make sense?

Until you present an evidence that they weren't allowed to withdraw their money months before the war. The logic still remains they withdrew.
Biafra Republic shared boundaries with Cameroon, was there also blockade from that axis?

Sapiosexuality:
I agree. But your story is not complete. What happened to those who had accounts with Nigeria before the war and the 3R's? Why did restructuring for a war that was fought on Biafran soil begin in Nigeria where only pogroms occurred? Don't you think those who blame him have a point considering he supervised the economic injustice that followed later and the blockade? Or didn't he?

Are you sure they didn't withdraw their money from their Nigerian account? How did they get the money they were spending in Biafra Republic? were they given free money in Biafra Republic?
About the blockade, how come none of the Biafran warlords and their men were starved to death, was it not because they were hijacking aids meant for the Biafran people?
A question for you, do you feed an enemy who's ready to kill you at any time?

Sapiosexuality:
I will but it is not a question of clearing my doubt but logic. The Bank of Biafra I read about was created to fund the war through donations and making currency transactions in buying weapons. How can someone now claim that some persons lost their money there? Does it make any sense to you? Except he meant that some of the money donated were stolen and not used to fund the war. Do you have a copy? Where did you get the book?

Months prior to the war, Biafrans that relocated from other parts of Nigeria withdrew their money from their Nigerian bank accounts (sounds logical) , they had to exchange those Nigerian pounds for Biafran pounds (Biafran banks were buying Nigeria pounds from them and selling Biafran pounds to them, I believe the Nigerian pounds bought were used to finance the war).
After the war, those Biafra pound notes became worthless, they needed to exchange back to Nigerian pounds, there was nobody to buy those worthless notes from them (not Awolowo's fault), that was the reason for the policy, which is to buy a maximum of 20 worthless Biafran pounds in exchange for Nigerian pounds. That is the 20 pounds story.

Note 20 Nigerian pounds was equivalent to 10 British pounds those days, and 10 British pounds as at 1970 is worth 145 British pounds in 2017, which is about 53000 naira today. That means for each 20 Nigerian pounds exchanged , the Nigerian government lost N53000.

Eight doors?

"Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either."Albert Einstein

In lieu of the lies and fictionbeing circulated and published as factual Historyby Biafrans about the events during and after the Nigerian Civil War, it is of great pertinence that some questions be examined in the context of real events and facts of reality.

For a very long time, Biafrans, led by their Chief Fiction Writer and Propagandist, Chinua Achebe, have been circulating, what else, fiction about the Twenty pounds giving to the Igbo after the Nigerian Civil War.They have accused the Federal Government of Nigeria of impoverishing all Igbo after the war by not allowing them to have access to their pre-war savings in the Nigerian Banks.

They have particularly accused the revered Chief Obafemi Awolowo, the then Finance Minister of engineering the policy because of his hatred for the Igbo. Though, historical facts showed that he was not the one who set up the panel or had anything to do with it other than just executing the panel's recommendations, the purveyors of lies and blackmail have no regard for such. Just like everything that Chinua Achebe has ever been involved in, this is another lie of the Biafrans that needs examination and exposition so that the world would be able to see the TRUTH.

This propaganda has assumed a life of its own that some members of younger generation have now begun to think that it might probably have been true. Chinua Achebe has been championing the peddling of this particular falsehood among others, for so long that upcoming "fiction" writers have believed him and are already parroting Achebe's lies.

For those who were too young to remember, the Civil War did not start in a sudden manner. There were days, weeks and months leading to the civil war when people from different regions were packing and moving to their homelands. At such time of uncertainty, no one could predict what was going to happen and common sense would dictate that each and everyone would be in control of his or her resources to be able to survive when the war broke out. 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. This would not just be dictated by common sense, survival instinct would have also required and demanded it too.

But Chinua Achebe and his corterie of liars would want the world to believe that this did not happen. They want the rest of us to believe the Igbo who lived in other parts of Nigeria were generous and kind enough to leave their monies in Nigerian banks to do business. They want the world to believe that our Igbo brethren left all their wealth in Nigerian Banks because of their "love" for Nigeria as opposed to their new Nation called Biafra. How could that have happened? Does that make sense? How could you have left your resources and wealth back in a place where you are not likely to return to? How could you avail a country called Nigeria, which you hate with passion, with your resources no matter how small or big? Does this allign with reason?

In a moonlight tale written by Chimamanda Adichie under the title "We Remember Differently," she had written that Awolowo "was the man who, in the words of my uncle, 'made Igbo people poor because he never liked us.' At the end of the war, every Igbo person who had a bank account in Nigeria was given twenty pounds, no matter how much they had in their accounts before the war.” Adichie is an upcoming writer to whom some intellect is being ascribed. What effort did she make to verify the tales of her uncle? Did she do any research to confirm the moon tales she was told?

At least, if she wanted to be taken seriously as a person who knew what she was doing, she ought to have conducted a research, and at worst, contextualize the tales she has been told. And apart from her uncle, did her father told her any story concerning this? No. All the above questions either did not occur to Adichie or were considered unimportant by her. They would not be necessary because this would undercut the fiction she was trying to put forth. It would expose the falsehood she was trying to peddle just like that of her mentor, Achebe. Yet she would want to revel in the borrowed garb of intellect in which she was being draped. It is a big shame!

In his response to Adichie, S. Kadiri wrote inter alia:

"If Achebe himself had gotten his savings in the bank reduced to twenty pounds after the war would he not have informed Adichie or the rest of the world through his ‘There Was a Country? And if Achebe as a senior executive officer at that time did not have any savings in the bank when he left Lagos for Biafra, what then is the probability that other Igbo people of his rank left money in the bank, in Lagos, while fleeing eastward?

But I still have the following questions for Chinua Achebe:

(a) In which Bank did Achebe have his savings before the Civil War?

(b) Was it at African Continental Bank (ACB) or elsewhere?

(c) Whichever Bank it was, how much was his balance before running to the East?

(d) Did Achebe emptied out his account before running to the East?

(e) Or Did he leave his balance in his accounts in the bank in Lagos or Ibadan?

(f) If he left his money in the Ibadan or Lagos bank, how much was his balance?

(g) What would be his rationale for leaving his money in Ibadan or Lagos when he was going to build a new country, BIAFRA?

(h) Would this mean that he was not a patriotic Biafran?

(i) Why did he not provide the details about this in his "There was a country?"

(j) If he forgot to do so, can he now come out with the last statement of Account?

(k) Did Achebe collect the 20 pound ex-gratia given by Awolowo?

(l) If he did, did he deserve it?

(m) If he did not deserve it, did he think he committed fraud by taking the 20 pounds?

(n) How come Chukwuemeka Ojukwu was able to retrieve his father's millions and other Igbopeople were not able to do so?

(o) What was applicable to Ojukwu that did not apply to Achebe or any Igbo in getting back their savings in the Nigerian banks?

The above questions would also apply to every Igbo who claimed to have had money in Nigerian banks before the civil war.

The bottom line here is that the issue of this 20 pound gift has become an instrument of blackmail in the hands of Biafran leaders like Achebe who would try to avoid responsibility for the harm they caused their own people. They had to look for someone to blame and Obafemi Awolowo came handy for this. How can any Igbo blame others for losing his Bank Statement? If they could not substantiate their claims in regard to their balances, how did they expect to be paid? Or did they think the rest of Nigerians were fools who would rush to pay any spurious claims they make? Granted that the war could have caused the loss of some documents, why would this be the fault of Awolowo? Is this not a sign of irresponsibility on the part of Achebe and other leaders of Biafra?

Chief Ayo Adebanjo had written this in reaction to the lies of Chinua Achebe that Awolowo hated the Igbo:

"It is noteworthy that after the division of the country to 12 states by General Gowon in 1968, the East Central State composed mainly of Igbo people emerged. Awolowo then diligently saved the monthly allocation due to Igbo during the war and released same to them at the end of the war. The African Continental Bank (ACB) and the Cooperative Bank for Eastern Nigeria, the two main financial institutions of the Igbo at the time, which had become moribund during the civil war were rejuvenated by Awolowo by releasing substantial funds to them for active operation."

I am challenging Chinua Achebe and all those who are defending him to come out and deny this factually. They should come out and say this did not happen and produce documentary evidence to this end. This might be another good opportunity to showcase them as liars and purveyors of falsehood if not hate mongers. Achebe's flagrant flippant disrespect of facts in his book has called to question any academic integrity Achebe might lay claim to.

It is one's view that the Igbo sentries who have been peddling this blackmail of 20 pounds payment are ungrateful lot. Apart from the crimes the Igbo have committed against the Yoruba Nation, killing their eminent personalities in politics and the Armed Forces, the Yoruba have tolerated them. They have been patient with the Igbo. The Yoruba have accommodated them. Yet it is daily insults from the Igbo to the Yoruba. It is a stream of lies and fiction against the Yoruba. However, this is a topic for another day. But the fact remains that the Igbo have a pattern of ingratitude, not just to the Yoruba, but also to the Hausa- Fulani and other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria.

The Igbo did not have to be given any money after the civil war. It was not compulsory. For some of them to continue to make claims which could not be substantiated that they left money in the Nigerian banks and had to be paid back would amount to fraud of the highest order. It could not have been anything other than sheer dishonesty on the part of those Igbo brethren insisting to be paid what they could not prove. It should be an offence punishable under the law if any person makes that kind of claim and he or she was not able to substantiate it. It is time an end was put to this kind of blackmail and falsehood.

More so, who paid the orphans and widows in the Mid-West as well as Yorubaland that were victims of Biafran soldiers? Who indemnified them for the loss and destruction of their properties by the Biafran soldiers? Who paid the victims of Biafran bombers at Lagos, Ibadan, Kano and Kaduna? Who would pay for all those? Who would pay for the deprivations of the widows and orphans in Ore?

It is a fact that Achebe's life is irretrievably intertwined with fiction. Evidently, a major part of his life has been fictitious. Thus to write and peddle fiction by him would be convenient and easy. Achebe has done this for so long that he is no longer able to distinguish fiction from reality and facts. As Albert Einstein pointed out above, "Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either." Achebe could no longer be trusted. He is an incorrigible purveyor of lies and falsehood. But he could not and would not be allowed to continue to get away with falsehoods woven in the tapestries of fiction.

"Boom Xhaka-Laca" will trend next season

I guess Buhari is responsible for Econet to Vodafone to Vmobile to Zain and finally to Airtel.

Child abuse

I still believe this speed limiter is as a result of TSA, no more special account for those corrupt rogues. EFCC should track bank transactions of those "certified installers" I'm 98% sure there'll be transfers to those corrupt rogues called FRSC officers.

erico2k2:
TWO DIFFERENT TYRE SIZE CANNOT GIVE SAME SPEED READINGS,YOU SAID SO YOURSELF.
What we are talking here is same speed.This is where you are getting it wrong, A jet bomber traveling @60mph will get to a village 60 miles away in 1 hrs
A car traveling @ 60 mph will get to a village 60 miles away in same 1 hour.
Reason they are both traveling at same speed ie 60mph

Maybe you don't understand what I'm trying to prove with respect to No 4 of the OP myth list.
According to No 4 myth, two cars can never overtake one another as long as they are doing the same km/h (speedometer km/h).
My argument is that is true as long as both cars still has their stock parts especially the tyres.
But if one of the cars has its tyres changed to a bigger ones then the car with bigger tyres will be faster than the car with stock/original tyres despite the same speedometer km/h.

Check this site http://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-driving-safety/safety-regulatory-devices/speedometer4.htm

Also research on effects of Tyre size on speedometer, check Google.

Have a nice day/night

erico2k2:
Facts
Two different tyres different speed
Two different distance different speed .
Same tyres same distance same speed .
Your example above is of two different speed .

My example is of two different actual speeds but the same speedometer speeds

erico2k2:
You still do not get it . The speed of a vehicle is.measured by a speed sensor . ......,,,this is what you see in your dash board . Since tyre size does not change the speed at which the gears /shaft rotates it simply means yoyr speedometer will read same for whatever size of wheel you pit there . .The veriables in this narative is not how far a car can go in time.but rather the time it takes to.attain a certain speed . My car does 0 to 100 in 6 seconds . If I keep it at that speed is constant . Your car might take 10.secs to attain 100 kmh but once reached the distance btw me and you will B Constant .
NB I'm not Einstein . I'm a mechanical Engineer and I actually did teach physics in Nigeria for a year 1999 . So I ha e Co. E across this question loads of time

Still on No 4: Tyre size and effect on vehicle speed.
By default, the actual speed of a Bugatti travelling at 80km/h(speedo reading) is the same as an "Ijapa" travelling at 80km/h(speedo reading), now I said 'by default', that is they are using the manufacturer's recommended tyre size. But if the tyre size of one car is changed, the actual speed will be different from the speedo reading.

For example, let's say the recommended tyre size for a 2008 Camry is 215/55R16, by default, the actual speed will be the same as the speedometer speed (i.e factory calibrated). If you change to bigger set of tyres for example 215/65R16, then the actual speed will be more than speedometer speed, Speedometer reads 100, but the actual speed is 107 km/h.

You can calculate speedo error from this site for your own vehicle http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/tyre-wheel-calculators/speedo-error-calculator

So No 4 in NOT a myth as long as car owners can still change their tyre sizes.

OK Mr notEinstein

If your car is a FWD, jack up the front so the two front tyres do not touch the ground, go inside your car, start it, put it in Drive then throttle down. You'll notice your speedometer will be doing James Bond while your car is stationary. Why is that? Your speedometer through the vss measures the rate at which your shaft spins and not the actual speed of your car. What determines the speed of your car is that entity that is in contact with the ground, in this case, the tyres. If you can get your shaft to be in contact with the ground then your car speed will be determined by the shaft (try it ).

There are two speeds involved, the Speedometer Speed(sdsp) and the Actual Speed of the car(acsp). Now at the factory, the speedometer is calibrated using the original tyres (factory fitted tyres) to make sdsp = acsp. Once you change the tyres to a bigger or smaller ones, unless you recalibrate the speedometer, sdsp will never be equal to acsp.

Check out the site in the post I quoted to see the effect of changing your tyres to a different sized ones.

From the example in my quoted post, using two camrys, camry A with the original fitted tyres 215/55R16 and camry B with not factory fitted tyres 215/65R16. If both cars are going at 100km/h sdsp, after one hour, camry A would have covered 100km while camry B would have covered 107km. Obviously camry B is faster even though both speedometers read 100km/h.

Do you need more explanation?

erico2k2:
your shaft and wheel revolves at same speed, same time, now this is different from distance traveld
Speed= Rate of change of the wheel remember I said Rate
if you look at teh diagram bellow its a typical rear axle car
Now explain how the size of the Tyre would influence the speed of the gear.
The gears by the drive shaft is constant it does not change unlike the gears in the gear box hence the output speed at any point is constant btw the wheel and the drive shaft.

Mr Einstein
Speed = distance covered over time.
If your drive shaft completes a revolution in 10sec (assumption) that means any size of tyres installed will also complete their revolution in 10sec.
Now assume your current tyre's circumference is 1m, that means in one revolution which is in 10sec, your Tyre will cover a distance of 1m, then speed will be 1m/10sec = 0.1m/s
If you install a bigger tyre let's say a circumference of 1.5m, that means in one revolution which is 10sec, your bigger Tyre will cover a distance of 1.5m, then the speed will be 1.5m/10sec = 0.15m/s
As you can see, even though the same drive shaft spin both tyres at the same rate (10sec per revolution), the distance and speed differs, the bigger tyre will always result to a higher speed, likewise a smaller tyre will result to a lower speed.

Do you need more explanation?

erico2k2:
You did not attend all of your physics class,
Let me add the bit you are missing,you 4got the drive shaft in the middle that is missing from your diagram, this is what determines the speed not the size of the Tyre.

Mr Einstein, the drive shaft and the Tyre complete one cycle at the same time ie they spin at the same rate, but because the tyre is the one in contact with the ground, in one revolution, the car covers the same distance as the circumference of the tyre NOT the circumference of the shaft even though the tyre and shaft revolve at the same rate.
Do you need more explanation?

If it was GEJ that won the 2015 election, there won't be an entity called Nigeria today. Imagine borrowing money to pay salaries as at March 2015. God really loves Nigeria.

Take a small wristwatch set it at 12:00 sharp (12:00:00) and do the same for a very big wall-clock;
if you can start both perfectly at the same time; are you saying the big wall-clock will move 3 seconds faster than the wristwatch (JUST BECAUSE THE HANDS ARE BIGGER) ?

If no answer; Let it rest, sir !!!

They will both complete a revolution at the same time but distance covered will be different because the circumferences are not equal. See my proof below
You are welcome to prove otherwise.
