Why Biafra Will Be A Poor Country by Aderewah: 4:31pm On Oct 11, 2021 |
For millenia, the mainstay of igbos is trade. They are good at buying at selling. Especially from China and other countries. Buying is not important. Anyone can buy. The important thing here is selling. Igbos have enjoyed selling to yorubas and northerners for decades. Why? Yorubas are a very well rounded people. They are not into just one thing. Law, music, business, medicine, academia, transport, tech etc etc. This means Yorubas delegate the trading to the igbos, but when biafra comes and igbo lose right to sell to 65 million yoruba buyers, yoruba entrepreneurs will fill those spots igbos will leave open. For hausas, they are also good with trading. After biafra I'm sure northerners will not even want to see igbos at all as they'll declare full sharia immediately. What then do we have? 45 million igbos in their land locked region with no customers. They won't buy from each other as much because they have trading mentality. They can sell goods, not good at buying. SW and North will pass strong indigenous laws to shut out non citizens like China. SW and North will be safe because igbos are not the main consumers of our products in the first place. But igbos will lose 150m customers and if they want to jump the rest of Nigeria, logistics will not be funny. We can't wait for biafra to come. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

If there is equality for everyone I don't see how Biafra will fail. A nation needs a peaceful environment to grow. If neighbouring nations closed their borders against Biafrans it won't stop them overcoming initial difficulties,so far they have a leader that leads by example 7 Likes |

Aderewah: Have you ever heard of international trade? Thats when people sell goods and services to people in other countries. So why do you think that if Biafra comes, Igbos will lose the right to sell to Nigerians? If people only sold goods and services to the country they belong, there would be no international trade. Its even when Biafra comes that Igbos will do the largest amount of trading, the world is a much bigger place than just Nigeria 17 Likes |

Aderewah:Well-done op for the shallow minded review. Thank you for applauding the Igbos for selling rather than buying. Have you forgotten that what is actually ruling the world now is Service (selling a product). Take a look at what happened with MTN holding millions of subscribers at ransom or lest I forget Mark Zukerberg who held billions of users communication hostage. Op you also forget that an average Igbo man is not afraid of adventure. Tell me how many Yorubas are in the East living and trading or even in the north living and trading? What happened in Singapore will happen in Biafra. 5 Likes |

Aderewah: What load of rubbish from short sighted people So if all lgbos will be traders in biafra, who will be working in banks, insurance, stockbroking, auditing etc. I guess it would be yorubas Who will be involved in shipping, transportation, logistics etc.....yorubas abi. Who will be teachers, lawyers, engineers etc. Yorubas once again Who will be working in radio and tv stations, telecommunications, supermarkets, hotels, recreational establishments etc.... yorubas Who will be in army, navy, police, minstries etc.... yorubas Who will be engaged in agriculture, construction, shipping, customs and immigration..... i guess yorubas It's better to be silent and be thought of as wise than open your mouth and remove all doubts that you are a fool 7 Likes |

We all know ibos are inferior to yorubas in all these fields. What is the thrust of your asinine post? If Ndigbo is inferior to Yoruba why did you join the North to abort Igbo secession from Nigeria? Why didn't you allow Igbos to stay in their Biafra. You suffer from inferiority complex Aderewah: 1 Like |

Igbo is first African secretary-general of commonwealth of nations. Igbo is the African to head WTO. Igbo produced the first African professor of mathematics. Igbo was first Nigerian to open law office in Nigeria. Igbo is the first African to produce vaccine. Igbo is first Nigerian to manufacture vehicle. 3 Likes 1 Share |
