Heromaniaa:
The currency spent in the defunct Republic of Biafra during the Nigerian civil war (1967-70), Biafran Pound, has surreptitiously crept into the currency market, serving as the legal tender in some communities along the West African coast.

Investigations carried out by Sunday Punch showed that the money is being spent in the border town between Togo and Republic of Benin, while some currency hawkers also exchange it for the naira and other currencies in the border town between Ghana and Togo.

One Biafran pound still bears the signature of Dr. Syvelster Ugo, the then Governor of the Central Bank of the defunct Biafran Republic and the picture of a palm tree. What is, however, baffling about the currency is that it has more value than the Nigerian naira and it is openly accepted as a legal tender in the affected communities.

When Sunday Punch visited the Ghana and Togo border town, known as Aflo, some of the money vendors were eager to sell the currency. They, however, insisted on selling one Biafran pound at N800. The scenario at the Togo/Benin Republic border, known as Helakondi, was different as the vendors willingly sold one pound for between N200 and N270 to our correspondent. Some food vendors in Togo were telling passersby that they were willing to accept Biafran pounds.

In Ghana, the vendors were discreet about the trade. One of them, who identified himself simply as Tony, told our correspondent that the money was not accepted as a legal tender in Ghana, but that Ghana was a transit route for the currency.

He said: \"We get the money from some Igbo people in Nigeria. They bring it here for us and we cherish it so much.

Ikengawo:
Utomi has a very low IQ. He has convinced Nigerians that he is intelligent by mimicking the white man. Many of you are too stupid to comprehend what I'm saying at this point and you should opt out of reading the rest of the post and go ahead with your hate respond. Everyone else please continue.
Everything the white man does = intelligence so Utomi, Sanusi, Soludo, and hundreds of others have convinced you that they are 'intellectuals' because they

wear suits
speak english well
speak on the 'issues' of Nigeria
are effeminate compared to the people in the country

All of these things to a Nigerian = intelligence

No creative works
No concepts or philosophy that can be cited to these people (other than 'Nigeria is not working')
No peer reviewed research
No new thoughts or ideas. Just the same dry ignorance in English.

If Utomi was intelligent, he would have pick a different month to make this statement. But he's doing it on the heels of a prominent Yoruba leader's daughter being killed, and the retreat of an attempt to colonize his own people. Imagine someone kills your daughter, and the most intelligent person in the room stands up at the wake keeping and says 'The killer and I do business together'. In a god forsaken zoo the baboons and dogs will stand up and clap, and even want this person to be 'a nigerian leader'.

This man's stupidity has been trying to lead him into 'leadership' in Nigeria for 2 decades and he remains a glorified opinion blogger till this day. Same with Soludo. Sanusi is at least lucky his father was an Emir otherwise he would also be unemployed sharing his opinion.


Africans, please rethink what you call intelligence, education, learning. Many of your 'thinkers' have no original thought that can be cited to them. When they list the philosophers of the world, or even west Africa, you will look very stupid mentioning Pat Utomi.

What's your point?

CheedyJ:

No arguments bro..Ronaldo held d record of d most expensive player in d world wen he moved to real Madrid in 2009 for 80m pounds..

The only player that held the title of most expensive player and lived up to the hype was Cristiano Ronaldo.

The rest are just overpriced.

He was never the most expensive player
