As far as I know, Japan ALREADY has enough arms to defend herself against any invading foe. Yes, you are right that US protection is helping, but Japan can also defend herself.

Actually bros, if Biafra develops the type of weapons she needs, NOBODY will invade her.
Efficient and better armed militaries always win over poorly trained and not so well armed ones.
Israel did it against massive Egyptian and Syrian militaries in the past. Single Israeli fighter pilots were downing tens of Egyptian and Syrian jets. Even in Biafra, with lesser arms, Biafra killed 2 Nigerian soldiers for every Biafran loss.
War is fought with BRAINS mainly. Throw in weapons, we can stop any invader.
We must not destroy our civilian serenity and peace from fear of invaders, else the invaders won't need to invade to derail our visions.

You are making 2 great mistakes


1) Thinking that our enemies will be poorly armed


2) Thinking that our enemies are not smart enough


Those 2 orientation is pure underestimation of enemy capacity which will spell doom for Biafra the way it did to Germans against Russia


Remember that the Germans thought like you and paid dearly for it in WW2

carnegiefan:
My brother the only reason why there has not been any coups in the US is that the system is strictly bottom-up designed, not top-down.
People have real political power at the local levels, hence, power hungry people move from one political power base to another very easily. I've seen one individual be a city mayor after serving as state governor for two term. Same guy is back again as state governor and may do two terms again.
No group or persons in the US has more arms than the United states military; and I'm being very conservative in this assertion.
The peoples arms are mainly for killing other people -fellow citizens.

I think you are wrong

I remember reading about the US founding fathers encouraging arms possession to prevent US becoming another Europe

carnegiefan:
@First bold:
Bros, your ideas are MANY MANY YEARS ahead of Biafra's independence (if Biafra will ever attempt such). The French won't ever work with anybody to yank the French speaking part of Kamerun off the English speaking part. In fact, let's not even go there, else Biafra will never see the light of day.

@Second bold:
Yes, Biafran total fighting force (standing and reserve) should not be less than 8 million.

The rest of your ideas are very interesting and are hereby presented to the general house!

Biafra reserve force should be of all citizens between the ages of 18-40 for men and 18-30 for women which will sum up to half the population and sufficient enough with superior arms and training to wade off any invasion

carnegiefan:
My brother there is really no need for "the government to be afraid of the people"; our system won't allow anyone to sit too comfortably to start scheming evil. Japan remains my gold standard here. In Japan, the type of civility there is almost heavenly. The violent crime there is consistently among the least in the whole world, and the main reason is that people are not armed. Their politicians are changed like weather, so they don't have time to seek ways of becoming god. Even the just announced plans for a little tinker to their self imposed pacifism is getting fierce knocks from their own people. They've seen that horse before!
Japan is surrounded by very bitter and powerful enemies: China to the west, Russia to the North, North Korea to the north west, even SE asians hate Japan with bitterness. US protection apart, Japan can still defend herself. We should be able to create a political system (as I highlighted in the first page) that only attract the right people, and even if the wrong person gets there, s/she will be stopped by the political system in place.
And yes, like Japan, our would -be invaders won't dare.

You failed to realise that Japan's security is being handled by the US


As US becomes less powerful in the Pacific theatre, Japan will have no choice but to re-arm herself.



Biafra on the other hand has no US protective policy and must depend entire on herself for protection




So the need to have a huge armed population sufficient to wade off a large invasive force is necessary.

Curlieweed:
First of all, I will confess my biases here. I come from a gun loving culture where acquiring a gun was an important rite of passage for every adult male. I am of the opinion that we need guns in private hands not only to defend our nation from foreign invaders but also defend the citizenry from aspiring tyrants. The government should be afraid of the people.

God bless you


The reason there is no coup in US is because everyone is armed enough to thwart any coup


While Russia had military coup , US never had one


Therefore an armed nation reduces

1) Foreign oppression

2) Coup

3) Crimes

cheruv:
As a good student of history, the case of Joseon(1392-1910) was very pathetic I must say.it was subject to its neighbors,preferring to live in "peace" than stand up as equals just as Goguryeo had stood up to the various Chinese dynasties that confronted it.

Pertaining arewaoduanistan and kamerun,I'd suggest that in the presence of a highly trained and mechanized army,there should be the formation of ring states serving as buffer between us and these countries.
On the Arewa side,
1]restoration of the Edo empire(comprising of Edo state, itsekiri and urhobo/isoko parts of Delta state, ebira parts of kogi state with the oba as emperor ruling with an elected prime minister
2]the Izon Confederacy comprising of the different ijaw kingdoms lying between the forcados and bonny rivers.This state would be structured on the UAE model with kingdoms within like kalabari, nembe, wakirike etc being independent but united in policies like currency and foreign affairs.
3]the igaladoma dukedom which would be a state uniting the igalas and idomas of old Benue state.the Ata' would be the duke with a chief minister ruling with him.the Igboid igalas of ibaji would of course be ceded to Igboland.

On the Eastern side,I'd suggest that after first concluding treaties of defense and friendship with Germany and France,a massive invasion of kamerun would be launched in concert with southern Cameroonian guerrillas(or ambazania as they call themselves) with the stated goal of an independent Ambazania. If the invasion force plan is modeled on the schliefen plan,Yaunde would be taken in weeks with biyya forced to surrender and sign up the independence of ambazania.
Once that's achieved, the whole Biafran lands East of Oyono(Cross) river would be ceded to Ambazania and the country strengthened by our diplomacy and economics.

This way,we'd gain defensive depth without the added nuisance of a plethora of ethnicities.
Igbo and Ibibio(the only ethnicities I'd want in Biafra) world population is about 50-70M,so mustering an army of 5-7M shouldn't be a problem.. And we can also augment by establishing Obia Legio Biafra(Biafran foreign legion).

Pls continue...

God bless you


Only if the OP has a good knowledge of Joseon history

CSTR2:
This is a very simplistic way of looking at it.
Yes, there are poor people in first world nations, true. But it is impossible to create a first wold nation when you don't have sovereignty.
Economic and political decisions that are necessary for first world actualization are sovereign in nature.
The SE is not sovereign the last time I checked.

We are not sovereign but yet our villages are filled with modern houses and indigenous industries while other parts of Nigeria are filled with mud houses and bushes.




My brother in as much I desire Biafra, we can build Biafra before we establish Biafra.


This we have started, eg Our cities Students and Industries are top in the country . TRUE OR FALSE.


If we wait till we get Biafra before we build a first world society then we are not serious


We don't need sovereignty but good idea plan and determination to build a first world society.



Biafra should not allow the backward of others hinder us


That's was the idea Sam Mbakwe pursued.

carnegiefan:
You are mixing things up, quite frankly. The Swiss are far less populated than Biafra. The entire Biafran military reserve force will almost equal the total population of Switzerland, about 8 million.
Biafran standing force (the ready to go force) should be small say 50,000 -100,000 highly trained, heavily armed force.
That force, my friend, will be so well trained and so well equipped that it can stop an invading force ten times its size.
The job of keeping Biafra free will first fall on the shoulders of the military, and then the reserve force.
Ordinary citizens have no business carrying firearms around. Beat cops should work in packs to arrest errant citizens and diffuse potential incendiary situations.
If we want true peace and security, we should keep guns away from our civil life, and work hard to build families up, provide social safe nets, and reform criminals.

In Israel and Switzerland , people don't move around with weapons but they have theirs kept at home.


Secondly

The population of Odua Arewa and Cameroon is 3-5 times the population of Biafra.

Therefore, these nations can muster millions of troops to overcome the 50000-100000 soldiers you proposed if you doubt me ask the US what happened to them in Korea when China entered the war or ask the Germans what happened to them when the US and Russians entered the war



Take it or leave it , Population can help wipe out the advantages of superior arms and training in modern warfare because battles are no longer fought on pitches . What I mean is that, the enemy will use the geography to outflank and encircle a smaller force Eg US and Somalia militants in Mogadishu.



If Biafra trains and arm all her population for war, we will be able to muster close to 30million troops capable of defending our sovereignty.



Why will this idea work.? It will work because no nation can muster 30Million invaders except China and to a large extent India.




MY DEAR


50000-100000 WELL TRAINED TROOPS CANT STOP AN INVADING ARMY OF 3 MILLION WHICH ODUA AREWA AND CAMEROON CAN MOBILIZE IF THEY ARE VERY DETERMINE TO DESTROY BIAFRA.




TAKE NOTE



IF BIAFRA FIELDS 100,000 TROOPS AGAINST 3MILLION INVADERS, IT WILL BE IN THE RATIO 1BIAFRA : 30 INVADERS


MY BROTHER THE ADVANTAGES OF SUPERIOR ARMS AND TRAINING WILL BE WIPED OUT.

Why won't attacks resume when he released BH and coward soldiers back into the society/military.

carnegiefan:
Yes Nnamdi Kanu supports the type of armless society that I've advocated here. No society is saved by gun saturation. More guns only leads to more violence. If Biafra ever makes it out of Nigeria, we shall fight to keep guns and other weapons far away from society.
In fact it should be that anytime someone sees a gun in society, it should be on a police detective (handguns) or SWAT (assault riffles of necessary hue). I've visited both armed and unarmed countries, and without a doubt, unarmed ones were more peaceful and serene.
Anything else would be to recreate Nigeria through the back door. In Nigeria the citizen is not armed, but armed police are killing unarmed people and none is held accountable. In Biafra, BEAT COPS (the ones you see patrolling on car, foot, or bikes) will be uarmed.
Nigeria copies things and never develops the guts to go the whole miles. Nigerian police should be disarmed as ordinary citizens to stop their murderous tendencies.

This idea of yours is what lead to the destruction of Joseon by the Japanese and Chinese


Do you know what a German general told Hitler when he proposed to invade Switzerland.?


For every German soldier you send, Swiss will deploy 2.




The director and you are wrong on this one



You think our Neighbours love us


Odua Arewanistan Cameroon can't be trusted in keeping peace with Biafra


Arming both sex in the fashion of Israel and Switzerland is the best measure to protect our sovereignty

This is not Kogi


The vegetation is toooo dry

PassingShot:
GEJ remains the worst president in Nigeria's history.




You all are not serious. You are hypocrites and people like you MUST not exist in large number in any society if it must prosper.

GEJ failed for five and half years and you don't want him criticized. But less than 48 hours of PMB you eediots led by the one and only protection seeker want him to solve all the problems caused by Jonathan/PDP in sixteen years.

Are you guys normal? I mean, do you guys have functioning brain cells?

You're very disgusting but the good news is that most Nigerians are sensible and will judge PMB on core issues. Not on TANoids-manufactured "promises"

I heard BH are now in Lagos


What has your god buhari done to curb them

AAinEqGuinea:
First let me begin by saying Nnamdi Kanu is the Truth. I can not collaborate with Nnamdi on the spiteful criticisms of other tribes because I never lived it, but the ugly pictures he paints of Nigeria is a 1:1 reflection of too African Americans I'm sick of sharing the some planet and identity with. It's not only many African Americans, but I don't need white American to lord over me with their jobs, guns, welfare, etc.. I'm glad Nnamdi points this out as well. We should work for the greater good of black people which is not empty pro-black bullshît. As is the case with Nigeria, whites will attempt to use stvpid black Americans against any progress and they will continue to proudly take the bait.

I've heard many Africans claim that the African American problem is the lack of culture (lost since slavery). I disagree, with an initial premise that many Africans are fvcked up and yet they're full of culture. I tend to not respect people who NEED a social crutch because what happens when it's not there? I'd like to see more small Biafratown, Yorubatown, (your tribe)town districts in America similar to the Chinatowns we already have. Naturally, anyone's welcomed to spend money with us but I'd do my damnest to make sure this will not be another Black Wall St. or worst, another decrepit ghetto, plagued by the poverty mentality that many still suffer from.

I'm reading many comments from those who entertain the use of guns and a quasi-military policing structure. Bad idea. Only persons having the least amount of contact with civilians should be armed (having Captain rank or above). A small suggestion for Biafra because here in America everyone thinks they're a badâss when brandishing a gun, including "well trained" police.

I disagree with you


Since we surrounded by hostile neighbours , it is best we apply the Switzerland and Israeli defense idea this time around for both sex.

Were ancient egyptians white? Hell no i dnt bliv dey were. do you knw why the whites are making you believe they were? those who know the math,wonders and architecture of the pyramids would know what i am talking about. they were so scientificaly calculated that even modern day scientists with their sophisticated equipments cant still quite perfectly replicate it. do you know that some scientist believe that the pyramids could have been built by aliens? why? because its just too calculated to have been built by "petty africans". the arabs couldnt have built it cause modern day arabs in egypt are migrants and traders from the middle east. so i say it was built by blacks. so now if our ancestors could have been this scientific while those whites were still fighting conquering themselves. what has happend to modern day blacks? the white have stereotyped us as the race with the lowest I.Q. and so we have now accepted it. making our reasoning limited to what dey have fed us. you here a white man say "if u want to hide somethinh from a blackman,put it in a book". havnt this statement followed us today? many will even complain that this my piece is to long. wether we like it or not education/technology/science is the way foward in this world today. why is america the way it is today? its cos of scince, their high tech military,facebook,twiter,google,vehicles,airplanes(boeing),space research,HD movies heck even the internet originated there. and all thanks to science. of which one of its bedrock/ origin started/was pioneered in africa(MATHEMATICS). not everyone can be an artiste,actor,etc. you see big men in nigeria today spending millions in a one day event. but many researches/ideas from our universities die of lack of investors/funding,because they dont even believe in our scientists. All am trying to say is its high time we start seeing alot of nobel prize winners in physics,chemistry,computer science and enterprenuers in tech firms. and less of all this entertainment awards. Thank you

With all due respect you are wrong

See the reason below

BlackTechnology:
God bless you
Our greatest problem is the missing link in our educational system
We don't teach our kids how things work and how things are produced which is the core of basic engineering technology
Unfortunately our intro tech curriculum is more scientific than engineering technology because we don't know that science engineering technology are not the same though united by knowledge.

Teach our kids how things work and how things are produced which is the core of basic engineering technology and you will see technological innovations spring up in Africa just as it happened in Biafra who had little technical knowledge

Lordave:
[b]This is why Africa will never move forward, with this mentality of 'the white hates us and is holding us down', 'they stole our historical artifacts', they destroyed our libraries and murdered our great thinkers', y'all will only end up with inborn hate to deal with.
If the Asians thought this way, many of you won't be typing on Nairaland with your China phones.

OP wants us to believe that Americans and Europeans hate us and are hindering our technological advancements with all sorts and sources of impediment mechanisms. But who likes us? The Asians? Arabians? Latinos? Or even the Russians that we have all been backing to end America's reign as world power and deny the world the freedom it seeks?


You guys are just wailing for nothing, in fact, your cries here are actually irritating and disgusting. America, The West and the rest of the world is still open for all of you, you have a lot of black immigrants all over the world so you can get back your historical artifacts, your libraries, pyramids and everything you claim they stole from you through them. Better still you all can as well go to those places and learn how they managed to successfully work with your past knowledge, steal whatever you can then come back and successfully develop Africa too.

Truckpusher:
EYou have some great points but no nation or a people can achieve economic prosperity without becoming an industrialized nation even as I totally agree that a lot of micro economy borne out regional and state policies and a well educated SME's that can predict the local market and a willing population that would be forced to work or learn a trade can almost achieve a noticeable and distinctive economic prosperity.
We are already getting there while some states are still accepting bailout funds from FG.

Fact but don't forget that industries tend to migrate and spring up in places where spendings savings and investments are high

CSTR2:
The SE cannot become first world in a third world Nigeria, no matter how much you wish it.

It is possible

Despite the level of poverty in Nigeria, they are still people richer than the US President


Despite the level of wealth in US, they are still people poorer than you in the US


Life is full of usual scenarios

PointB:
For starters I doubt if any government will increase salaries or do anything of tactical impact without the informing the press. How will they campaign for re-election without without using such gestures as achievement.

Personally, I am student of George Clason (Richest Man in Babylon) philosophy of "PAY YOURSELF FIRST." Everyone who earn income, no matter how small it is, can use the accumulated "One tenth" of his income to build a fortune for himself.

If you get salary increase that's fine, but ultimately what needs to be change is orientation about money. You need to read George Clason's Richest Man in Babylon and recommend it to anyone you wish to help.

To be sincere it is difficult to save , spend and invest if your income is not reasonably OK.


That's why Microfinance banks are encouraged worldwide.

rigarmortis:
good idea, only if it were possible.

Thank you

It is possible if the State governments are willing to invest in multiple things that can generate lots of cash to increase salaries especially low income salary earners.


Eg Most meats fish milk and protein foods consumed in the East are imported.

If the SE governments can build farm houses to increase local production, this will generate enough cash to increase salaries especially that of low income salary earners


A simple case scenario

Imagine the East can locally rear enough cows to the point of selling 10000 cows locally a day, she will be able to generate 500 million naira per day if the net profit per cow is 50 thousand naira.


Now imagine the impact on the local economy if 2 billion naira is used to increase the salaries of people earning between 18000-50000 naira.


A reasonable increase will lead to more spendings savings and investments.

Greetings to all true Igbos

Today I write for posterity sake. That the future may have an idea of how to get better itself

One of our great desire as a people is to build a society similar to that obtainable in developed nations.

Today, I wish to make known an idea capable of transforming Igboland into a First World Society in the midst of retrogressive and conservative societies.

This idea I term " INCOME STIMULATED PROSPERITY "

This idea is all about the positive manipulation of income earnings to stimulate economic prosperity.


It is a known fact that economic prosperity is directly proportional to spending , saving and investing. In other words , the more people spend save and invest , the more prosperity fills the land.


It is a well known fact that increase in income earnings is directly proportional to spending saving and investing. In other words , the more people earn the more they spend save and invest which directly affects positively economic prosperity.



I want to state with fact that , if SE governments can increase salaries without the knowledge of the press, it will help stimulate the economy of the SE.


Yes demand will increase which will lead to temporary inflation in price of goods and services, yet this will be temporary because of the entrepreneur nature of Igbos to tap into profitable ventures which will see supply catching up with demand , thereby driving down prices due to proliferation of new businesses.



If there is a perfect time to further bridge the gap between Igboland and the developed nations, now is the perfect time.

Warning : It must be done secretly without the knowledge of the press to avoid businesses inflating prices outside the forces of genuine demand and supply curve.



God bless SE and SS
