In othet words, you have no idea how the biafra kanu is promising you will be run?

obasiken:
No one is looking to become the greatest nation in the world. Igbo another option because what we have on ground is not working. suggestions for biafra if handover happens

- States govts will absorb all igbo federal service workers

Pay them with which money? Without allocation?


- Gratuity will have to be forfeited, some will return to work

Which work? How will they survive financially? Housing nko?

- for those that want to stay back in Nigeria, igbos have survived Togo, Benin republic. any tax on igbos will be added to cost of goods and sold to Nigerians

You mean Igbo's pay heavy taxes, bring the goods to igboland and then sell to Nigerians that will come to igbo land to buy? Remember the taxes will be paid jn every state as the goods are transported down east. It will be more expensive buying goods in igboland. Even transport coming to and fro to igboland will be taxed.

-come back and work in biafra security service/police
How will the security service work? How will arms be purchased? From Nigeria or outside Nigeria?


-Return to biafra and work,

- Seaport in Blue river Abia
How long will it take for the sea port to be built? The ship will still be taxed for passing the Nigeria water ways.

-Start selling oil in Abia and Imo and developers gas in Imo for revenue.

Sell oil and gas to igbos or outside world?

start to raise more IGR from tax

Taxing collapsed businesses without electricity?


-take over and nationalize all Telcos and operate them with igbo engineers

Take over from who? TELCOS that have license in Nigeria?


-1 megawatt facility in Alaoji Abia state ...start there and build our power conpany

How long will this take and how will businesses and hospitals be run, during this setup?


--Local farming

Now that igbos are all over Nigeria, 70% of food comes from the north. It is now this emergency farming that will feed all igbos that will return to igboland?



-Onitsha and Aba have neva relied on Nepa...go and ask

So they use fuel to power gen? Fuel that is supplied by NNPC?

-Biafra have more than enough schools for all biafrans as at today

Nice one. Who will pay the fees? The parents who have lost their jobs or the ones whose businesses have collapse due to lack of electricity.

Just a few suggestions

Most important is, what currency js used and how is the value determined?

Chidexter:
Bro first of all, there's something called transition. All the things you said was under hypothetical 31st , no secession, break up or disintegration is given such a short time. I don't even want to go into the stress of debunking each points you raised one by one.

obasiken:
Everything mentioned here happened during the civil war ....yet Igbo people survived for 3 years. Necessity is the mother of invention.

-Biafra have more than enough schools for all biafrans as at today
- Biafra pound was used during the war as currency.

Just a few suggestions

obasiken:
Go and ask unknown gun men how they make their arms

Biafra pound was used during the civil war... the value and cost of goods can be determined by an agency and slowly the market will determine the true value.

international exchange rate will be determined by Finance minister.

if biafra is handed over today, I can assure you No one will starve to death....
My village in Ohafia Abia survived without Nepa/phcn/enugu disco for over 20 yrs..

we can go on and on but I have to work now. The Truth still stands Igbos will survive and prosper.

mekaboy:
We wake up tomorrow and federal government says igbos should leave Nigeria and become Biafra.

Igbos in federal civil service have till 31st of july to resign.

No pension or gratuity to be paid.

A new law and taxes will be imposed on all igbo owned businesses and properties outside igboland. Igbos will now have to pay taxes as foreign investors in Nigeria.

Those employed in police army and every other security agency, have to leave by 31st july.

Igbo graduates from Nigerian universities will not be able to serve in Nigeria.

All goods and transport services( air, road, sea) coming to and from igboland will have to pay taxes in each Nigerian state. When know the people of Niger delta will refuse to be part of Biafra.

So goods coming from lagos will pay taxes in all the states, even to delta state.

By the time these items arrive, how much will they be sold?

No more allocation from federal government.

No more usage of Nigerian Naira in igboland .

All Nigerian owned banks have to close branches in to igboland.

Telecoms have till 31st to shut down operations in the east.

Electricity distributors in igboland have to be disconnected from the national grid.

DSTV and all televison stations licenced in Nigeria have to stop operations in igboland.

All police, army and security agencies have to withdraw from igboland.

NOW WE HAVE OUR COUNTRY BIAFRA. HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS.

What happens to Electricity? The lights are off, how will businesses function?

What about food? By the time a truck of food comes from the north and pays all the taxes from the road, how much will a tubber of yam cost?

Security? No police, army, or security agency in igboland.

Business? No Electricity to power business and they collapse.

Accommodation? Igbos who will leave civil service, police, army, navy etc will have to return to igboland.

Employment? Those who have been dismissed from service will become unemployed. Remember, by nigerian laws, companies in nigeria have to employ at least 60% Nigerians. This means, most Igbos will loose their jobs in companies. As they will be counted as foreigners.

Education? Igbos will be charged school fees as international students. Many parents who have lost their jobs won't be able to afford this.

You see why the fraudster in UK is forcing Niger delta into Biafra?

This is why I tell my fellow Igbo's to forget the fraudster and his fake Biafran agitation.

Use this energy and funds you send to the fraudster to develope igboland. Catalonia was already developed before they wanted to leave. UK was already self sufficient before asking to leave EU.

The motor park touts and criminals following kanu will tell you that when Biafra comes all these things will be taken care of.

So the world will be waiting for you to become recognised, form a currency backed by nothing. Then trade with it at what value?

These same touts and criminals will be the ones roaming the streets of igboland, looting properties, kiling people, raping women in the failed country.

Kanu knows all this, but his main focus is in the donations coming from the agitation.

Those Igbo's sending money for igbos to be killed, why not send the same money for factories and schools to be built to provide free education and employment for igbo youths?

You send money to kanu and he pockets it, sends peanuts to buy tramadol and drugs for his ESN/UGM that are end up dead.


Mekaboy why do you like to bring your stupidity very high?
Is Rome built in one day?
Is US built in one day after colonization from Britain?
Is Japan built in one day after world War 2?
Is South Korea built in one day after Korea War? Please stop being too little to your brain

Rossiminku:
You "survived" for 3 years?

You lost 3 million people, mostly to starvation, in those 3 years.

Tell me. Why do you Igbo secessionists from Ojukwu to Kanu to you and IPOB, ALWAYS CARE SO LITTLE about Igbo deaths and casualties in all these fights you start?

3 million dead Igbos means nothing to you. Why?

Now again, you are ready to lose more. 10 million this time, who knows?

All for what?

So your landlocked Biafra, since Niger Delta will never join you, will merely be a starvation headquarters, like OP said. Again, that doesn't bother you.

You Igbo secessionists don't actually care for your people. Their lives mean nothing to you.

mrvitalis:
First Lagos would experience total power outage first thing first

We would then take Nigeria to court ...win size her international asset to gain back what we lost

The world is not a lawless please boy

Monogamy:
If you are aware of this, why going through the unnecessary hardship all in the name of having an independent.. All the questions the op raised, none of you have been able to give proper answers to them.

The new Biafra, are the leaders going to be from Jupiter or same SE region, cos if it's the latter, why have Igbo billionaires, Entrepreneurs, Musicians, Footballers not invested heavily in the same SE region.. Are they also marginalizing the region?

Why not turn your region into an eldorado before demanding for a new nation? Would you jump into a swimming pool you have no idea of the depth?

Kanu has been busy demanding money for ammunition, all because he is living large with the unrest in SE.. If Nigeria has marginalized SE as a region, can't Kanu and his group channel the funds into development of SE?

Kanu has been receiving funds for years regarding Ipob agenda about Biafra, then I ask?

Is Ipob creating any empowerment programs for Igbo youths?

Are they giving scholarship to students with high grade?

How many schools have they built, how many hospitals, roads?

If there are little development in SE just as other region in the country, why are Kanu and his group Ipob and ESN hell bent in destroying the little development in SE?

vasel15:
this mekaboy aka ijele you get sense at all

you have fulani blood go back to your village and ask

till today imo state have not given you an appointment

you cant win this battle,imagine you fighting millions of igbos

nthony10:
Please let’s get something straight, this whole agitation to be a separate country has nothing to do with Kanu, like someone put it he is just a symptom of a larger problem.

The same way we have billionaires from other areas of Nigeria is the same in the SE so they shouldn’t be the reason for the poor state of development there. Also There’s nothing like eldorado because even the north that has a lions share of development it is not an eldorado.

Mabey you are not understanding the real reason, it has to do with the structure of the country where the south is less represented than the north in the NA, where those who are blessed with resources happen to be the least developed, a system where someone from Lagos or Porthacourt has to score 450 to qualify whereas someone in katsina just needs to have 200 to qualify for the same course. These and many more are injustices that just can’t be swept under the carpet.

From my experience with them,An average easterner would choose to be poor and free than conditioned against his will, Mekaboy should know that.

So to answer your plenty questions (even though there’s malicious intent inside) the Igbos are more than capable of handling themselves. Read what Obasiken wrote

gidgiddy:
There very few things in life as important as freedom. It would be an honour for Igbos to endure all this but have their own independent country.

mekaboy:
Is that the answer to the questions raised? No idea what to do with your biafra?

obasiken:
Oga...Igbos have tried your Nigeria from 1970 till now ...we are tired.
The topic says if Biafra is handed over peacefully ...I never advocated for war.

it's like living as an orphan in your wicked Stepmother's house. she will make sure you dont succeed more than her children. Now imagine when her children are idiots (fulani herdsmen). the only way to succeed is to leave the house and take yur destiny in yur hands.

mekaboy:
You license yourself and fly to countries that don't recognise you?

You wont fly over Nigeria air space to get to that country?

So the bank owners will fold their branches all over Nigeria to come and operate only in 5 states jn igboland?

Which currency will be stored jn those banks?

The staff that are igbo that left Nigeria back, who will pay them?

Power plant, generating from what? How long will it take to run new wires to all buildings in igboland?

mekaboy:
Is that the answer to the questions raised? No idea what to do with your biafra?

Enyimbafc:
U are just an educated illiterate son of a bitch,small boy looking for attention,igbos fought a war for more than 3yrs and today the are one of the most succesrful tribe in Africa,that is why u post topic concerning them every day.Assuming the are failures like other tribes in Nigeria,u will not come here to post rubbish.

onlyson16:
let me ask u brother, 1st. How was ur today? Hope u av eaten? Is ur mother an ashawo? Do well to research about ur mother.

selemempe:
I wanted to reply your original post until I read the bolded and realized you don't know anything about anything.
You are not intelligent enough to talk about biafra

Ikology:
I am actually disappointed to see response of this type from a strong proponent of breakup like you. I hate it when all you always say "when we get to the river, we will know how to cross it". Zero strategies

mekaboy:
Lol. Use the infrastructure provided by Nigerian government? They have to create theirs from scratch. Is that to big for tiny brains to process?

selemempe:
lol. Government already privatised NEPA dumb ass.
You make me sick

Ikology:
My grouse is with Nnamdi Kanu. He banked on biafra which our people have strong emotion for, Using propaganda to indoctrinate hoards of willing youths. They have created hundreds of facebook page where more people are being brainwashed.

mekaboy:
Lol. Yes, but they are only distributors. Every generation goes to the national grid. So you have to generate from your own source and provide infrastructure for distributing from that source. Im not sure liberia has electricity till date after the war.

mekaboy:

selemempe:
1. Other enclaved countries. Biafra would not be the only enclaved country in the world.
Lesotho is entirely enclaved inside South Africa. They have a population of almost 3 million and still have a higher GDP per capita than Nigeria. As far as we can have an internationally brokered deal with Nigeria to freely allow us use Nigerian airspace for civilian planes, we would be just fine.

2. Oil and gas money The south east has more oil and gas reserves than the Federal allocation it gets.
With oil in Abia and imo States and gas in Anambra state, we have enough of that resource to gradually build a more sustainable economy if we plan well. Don't forget that Nairobi Kenya was built with money from tea and coffee. Nairobi is more beautiful than Lagos built with oil money.
Electricity can also be generated with our gas reserves

3. Military Today Igbos have no military and have no right to form a military. If we are allowed to go with our 5 states, we would have the right to build a military, To buy as much deadly weapons and defence technology as we can afford to buy. We can get Israel to even help us with a low budget iron Dome technology for aerial self defense. We can be able to take the war to any future enemies without being sitting ducks.

3 Customs, immigration today Igbos have no right or sovereignty to defend our land. Any abokì can walk from futa jallon and come and settle in the hills of Enugu. All we can do is rant as far as fulani government refuses to act, we can't do anything. Any trailer filled with whatever can drive into SE today without us being able to check what is inside. With biafra we can legally mount checks on our borders to check what is going in and out according to international law. Do you know that oil is being smuggled out of Anambra on a daily basis? In biafra, we can have checks for things like that legally

4. Passport if they allow us take our 5 states, we would also be obliged to drop the overabused Nigerian passport that can't even get you into Cape Verde. We would create our own passport and build its reputation on a virgin ground and with hindsight on how reputation can ruin a passport

5. Foreign diplomacy today Igbos are not known in international politics. With our 5 states, we would have the right to join the United Nations. We would have the right to build relationships with other countries on equal basis. We can even become a closer friend and protege to Israel, Our president can stand Infront of the UN general assembly every year to speak for us. We would automatically become a sovereign people. Very very important

6. Federal tax if we get our 5 states as biafra, all the billions of naira that goes from our region to Abuja in taxes will stop. That is money that we can use to build our nation

7. Federal fees instead of paying Nigeria government for things like passport, driving license, vehicle papers, radio and TV licences etc, you pay it to the Biafran government. That money can help us achieve a lot.

8. Policing in our 5 states, we will no longer have abokì people mounting road blocks on our roads and killing our hustling youths in the name of policing all because of deep-seated hatred. Biafra police would be 100% Igbo

9. Airport and travel with biafra of 5 states, we would now fly and land in Enugu (for instance) instead of Lagos or Abuja. Our government can even partner Air Peace to create an airline carrier that can later rival Ethiopian airlines. Where there is a will there is a way. Remember that

10. Sea port it gets tricky here but we have options that may be better than going to Lagos to clear our goods. We can import with more air cargo than with ships. Or We can spend money and dredge the river Niger and dock at Onitsha river port. All we need to do as a country is to buy barges and keep them at onne port or Duala port, once a ship docks there, all cargoes going into Biafra would be transferred to the badges and sailed up the river Niger to Onitsha. Or We can also negotiate with Nigeria to use the Enugu-port Harcourt rail to transport containers and pay Nigerian customs. Either way, we would be fine.

11. Capital flight to Lagos and Abuja Igbos who are quick to build their mansions and businesses in Lagos, Abuja, port Harcourt etc would be forced to come home as they automatically lose the right to live freely in Nigeria. Those returning igbos and their money would help us start building or country from day one

You are a BOY.
When you become a man, you definitely will think like a man.

COLLINSGOLD0810:
Mekaboy you are the one that is been brainwashed by ur one Nigeria news propaganda and government. Mind you that is not a fraudster the way you put it, because the ESN that he unveiled if you can imagine how much money is pumping into their account for maintenance and feeding, secondly you talk about the arms they spent for procurement and also how much they spend in lobbying the world powers and also IPOB staffs all over the world. Do you think is the only one that is being paid? The answer is capital NO. And thinking about him coming to Nigeria now is your stupidity and wickedness person against Biafra without him accomplishing his assignment for Nigeria called Zoo. I want to tell you that he will come but not now, not yet, to finished the unfinished business after all is not the only person that is freedom fighter in the world that left their country. Examples:
Jesus christ of Nazareth
Nelson Mandela of South Africa etc
