Mr Village. 90% of the wealth in those SE villages comes from Igbos working in other parts of Nigeria. The same Nigeria you want to break out of like a he-goat.

nice thread...

CONFAMA:
nice thread...

Thanks.

Rossikki:
Actually, the Chinese haven't invented much of late... What they've done is 'replicate' what is out there, at lower cost, and in vast quantities. Igbos will thrive if they do this in the Nigerian context. Nigeria has leverage that can help them cut trade deals which a small 'Biafra' cannot. Can Togo or Sierra Leone cut international deals with the major powers? Or even with middle powers? For where? Their own is to take orders from the IMF, World bank etc. If they step out of line, those organisations will shut down their economies the next day. That is the level 'Biafra' would be on.

The bolded part got me cracking hard. I just hope everything dies down and fall into position. But i think if we want this country to be better, we should start from the legislature.

Awolowo died of rat poison following a coup attempt - a northern dictator barked and the cowardice in Awo rose.


Abiola: He won a free and fair election but never tasted the throne - another northern dictator killed him.

And now Tinubu: Dino, the slayer is on his tail now, which is evident in his recent visit to Lagos. Tinubu will never forgive his wife for plunging him into this mess. Some women can be very fooolish. Even tinubu himself could not have talked to Dino in that mannerless manner. Anyway, wetin concern me sef?

I guess rossikki is looking at this secession stuff from the economic angle.
the truth is a lot of pro-biafrans haven't thought this out in detail.
I'm sure a lot of Ibos' will vote 'no to biafra' if they are made to understand the dire economic consequences.
just like the Scottish developed cold feet when they realized the economic challenges that lie ahead in case they the exit the UK.

let no one be deluded that if biafra is formed, Nigerian govt will be magnanimous in dealing with them.

if cbn decides the new country will not use the naira, it means Ibos will have to convert their naira to other currencies.

If the new nation decides to float her own currency, then Biafrans will exchange their hard earned naira for a relatively unknown currency backed by nothing, since the FGN will not assist the new nation with foreign reserves.

The exchange rate may also be dubious depending on the greed of the Biafrans govt or the reality on ground. eg if the govt is in desperate need of money, they will overvalue the currency...... thus ibos' will be forced to buy expensive Biafran currency.

This was exactly what ojukwu did with the Biafran pound during the civil war. He collected Biafrans' Nigerian pounds to procure arms n weapons and in return gave them worthless pieces of paper called the Biafran pound. After the war the Ibos' realized what they had with them was useless because the currency was never recognized outside biafra.

Most Ibo elites and businessmen will prempt this problem and simply embark on massive capital flight, leaving the new nation with acute shortage of cash.
the alternative is to dollarize the economy, this will leave the nation vulnerable to global shocks and the govt unable to implement any meaningful fiscal or monetary policies.

Foreign trade n services will equally be a challenge because the govt will most likely enact the same buharinomics Nigerians are currently enjoying in order to protect whatever foreign reserve they have.

The solution is for biafra to immediately start producing n exporting goods once it's formed.... or else.....

the saving grace is if the oil producing nigerdelta region chooses to join the biafra nation....... the sale of oil will serve as a vital source foreign exchange as well as a cushion for the govt to implement sound economic policies.

I'll be back to discuss more on possible challenges and solutions in event of biafra emergence.

I love this thread

Thanks for your input here. These are the sort of discussions pro Biafrans rarely, if ever, engage in. How can you be advocating to form a new country with no forward planning, no study of the economic implications, no discussion on even the system of govt to be practiced. I mean, it's just a disaster waiting to happen.

though your topic is wrong and uncalled for but you are stating what is obvious and that illiterate ipob refuse to see.
But then its non of my business, i just cant wait for them to have beerfra.
