All these spit and venom just because biafra wants to have their independence. lol

I feel your pain and frustration... But know this that BIAFRA will trade and expand rapidly to the rest of the world while the remaining nigeria crumbles from within.

There's a big problem with your assumptions here. Most serious trading nations have set up protectionist barriers that prevent the "trade and expansion" of your imagination. Plus, you will struggle to compete with China and the like, for access to those markets. With Nigeria, you have a 200 million-strong market at your disposal. Nigeria is projected to be the world's 3rd most populous nation, after China and India, by 2050, with a population surpassing 1 billion. Those statistics are GOLD for the industrious and entrepreneurial Igbos. But they want to abandon this huge market, this world class opportunity to really explode their wealth and reach, to retreat into some tiny ethnic kingdom, for reasons best known to them. Not smart at all.

Latest estimates put the number of Igbos resident outside their region at 7 to 10 million.

Some figures go as high as 15 million.

Is the SE prepared to welcome this number of "returnees", after they are declared illegal aliens in Nigeria, and promptly deported?

Every Biafran Agitator needs to ask himself this question sincerely.

Just when i thought my evening couldn't get anyway better, I stumbled on this thread. Laudate, some quite interesting rational thesis you've made. The more you look at it, the deeper it gets and then you realise the Supreme Leader, god of war and progeny to King Odin: Lord Nnamdi, hasn't even had an all-around thought on every possible outcome of the so-called referendum or Separation from the zoo as they say. Can't rule out Biafra ending up as a failed state like Zimbabwe or South Sudan.

So how exactly will an embargo initiated by Nigeria on Biafra affect the economic viability for growth of the latter when there are several thousands of arguably better countries that will gladly invest in Biafra and open their borders for new trade alliances? Hope you are smart enough to know Nigeria is so lilliputian in the larger scheme of things, especially when new opportunities abound out there.

You need to stop doing drugs.

You want serious investors to go into an underdeveloped, broke, landlocked country that'll obviously be at war with itself and that is of no immediate benefit to anyone's pockets?

This is one of the dumbest question or thread I have ever seen on this forum. Ghana achieved independence before Nigeria however Ghanaians never sent the Nigerians living in Accra or Takoradi packing. They are Nigerians who have decided to stay in Nigeria. So be prepared to live with it.

So, Ghana never expelled Nigerians from their country in the past or you just want to come on here and feed innocent kids with lies again like you've always done?

You have analysed it well.

Let me add to your explanation.

Recall that last year, British seek referendum from EU (brexit) which they said by Oct last year, they will become a separate entity on their own? You remember right? Guess the aftermath, pounds currency plunged to all low since 1984, EU countries would not want to recruit brits into their workforce, etc which forced Britain to delay full referendum considering they have more to lose than gain. To think of it, this is a country among the top 10 best economy in the world.

Even the football sector was not spared, imagine clubs like chelsea, Manchester United, etc., paying almost three times as much money as they pay before hence even pay high wage to secure EU players.

When the consequences keep hitting them, they temporarily suspended the brexit frail till when they see they will be sustainable enough to bear their burden without dangerous hit back.

In as much as Nigeria doesn't profit it's citizens, IPOB members need to realise that our past/present polithievans(hausa, igbo, yoruba, etc) are the ones denying us the right to enjoy the wealth of this nation.

They should ask why their regional representatives are silent on this issue?

Anyway if they secede today, good for them (which is what I want anyway) but imagine millions of SE indigenes in lagos, FCT, etc who have to back to their region and apply for visa, work permit to earn income through business trade, job/career, education, etc.

I rest my case.

Well said!! cheesy Couldn't have put it better myself. I wish there was a way to dash you 1,000 likes for dis post. cool Now that we are breaking down the outcome of their proposed actions to them, I hope they would all wake up and smell the coffee. Please collect two chilled bottles of the best drinks from Mama Tamuno's stall down the road. All the drinks are on me. wink

Let that be our cross to bear, did we ask for your sympathy? An Igbo nation beaming with entrepeneurs, academicians, top notch business tycoons, technology, entertainment etc broke? then you must not know the Igbos who claim to share a country with all this decades, maybe the post civil war re-emergence of the Igbos hasn't taught you what resilience means, but you will learn in due time.

What is happening here is the de-amalgamation of Nigeria. The rolling back of the fraud perpetrated by a British imperialistic thief called Lugard in 1914. Since Lugard did not meet any '5 core Igbo states' when he came to west Africa, we have to assume it is part of divide and rule

So, in that instance you truly believe Nigeria will cede Kogi, Edo, Delta, Ondo etc to you guys?

It seems like you don't understand you're telling the rest of Nigeria to prepare for another civil war, if thats your mindset.

Gosh, I can't believe how illogical and short sighted you all are as a group.

European countries already have established immigration policies and some elements of freedom cross border movement regardless of EU so stop assuming what it's going to be like with Nigeria and biafra.

The fact that you people are coming up with baseless and unrealistic assumptions about your future shows that you haven't thought about anything and your future beyond Nigeria.

Market forces, supply and demand, population and buying power decides where companies and entities invests in, not your emotional and sentimental reasons. All they are interested in money and not your sorry social and emotional concerns.


There's more to endless chest beating, shouting for biafra everyday.

How are you going to manage and house millions of returnees?

How are you going to crate jobs and employment for the millions of returnees

how are you going to gain access to large markets outside your borders even considering the fact tat your people in Lagos and elsewhere in the SW and the North are there because of the huge markets and buying power that you don't have in your region?

How are you going to negotiate trade policies, taxes ans tariffs on goods and services?

You don't even have any cash generating resources to trade with or export to start with and whatever you are into in Nigeria today is replaceable with other opportunity seekers moving in to take your place.

Investors today prefer the SW and most of the investments entering Nigeria today heads straight to the SW so do you really think that is going to change because you have biafra?

No, there's more to investments siting from communal attitude, culture, welcoming and conducive environment, available and educated manpower, safety and security and these factors exists only in the SW.

South Sudan is restless and at war because they did not do their home work or plan for these eventualities.


SMH..

Problem with people like you is that you cant help but see everything from the point of view of a Nigerian. The world is a big place, it doesnt end and stop in Nigeria.

In 2002, East Timor seceded from Indonesia. Indonesia is 5 times bigger than Nigeria, a population of over 250 million people and is richer than Nigeria. Some people thought that East Timor would never survive without Indonesia. Today, East Timor is doing well and enjoying there freedom.

I have great confidence in my Igbo people, we are one of the most resourceful people you can find in Africa. The greatest resource a people can have is not oil or gas, it is human potential. Igbos have a lot of human potential, all they need is control of their own land to make things happen. Im from Anambra, an Oil producing state with on of the largest Gas reserves in Nigeria. But Im not even looking at these things. Im looking at the manufacturing potential of my area as soon we can free our selves from the cursed Nigerian 'power holding' start generating electricity with our coal in Enugu. We want to explore the agro-allied potential of Ebonyi, the production of Aba, the potential of Nnewi as the japan of Africa. The huge oil potential of Abia and Imo. The potential of an independent Biafra comprising of Igbos and the minorities who comfortable is incredible. All we need is to get out of the control of Abuja as an independent country.

Biafra will not be easy at first, but we shall overcome. I believe that within 15 years of Biafra existing, it will have the biggest GDP in Africa.

Ok let us get some education. When Biafra becomes a country, it will be part of ECOWAS and Nigeria will also be part of ECOWAS. So both countries will be governed by ECOWAS rules and statutes as fas as movement of people and immigration is all about.
Those in the Fed civil service will convert to Biafran fed civil service. Those Nigerians in the Fed civil service in Biafra will relocate to Nigerian fed civil service

And if Nigeria decides not to abide by the rules what can anyone do about it?

In fact, those taxes would make their goods so uncompetitive in our local markets, that their exporters will bite their fingers at the losses they would incur.

What is Kogi, Edo, Delta and Ondo? Mere creations of military dictators. We are interested in ethnic groups, the indigenous people Lugard forced together at gunpoint in 1914. We dont care about ficticious names that came later such Delta and Kogi.

Of course, Ghana under Dr. Kofi Busia expelled Nigerians, mostly Yari.ba peeps, from Ghana in 1972. I guess Nigeria retaliated in 1978/79 under Shehu Shagari. I have known most Nigerians to jump into silly comparison without weighing the facts before them. If Biafra becomes independence as long as Ghana did before Nigeria expels Biafrans, then the form of expulsion initiated by dumbass Nigeria will be followed in kind and even more by the Republic of Biafra.

op if the igbos do seceed, our relationship would be largely based on the way and manner such secession occurs, if it was in animosity and bad blood like the one we are having at the moment, then I think both our nationalities won't be welcome in our respective countries. That's why I've always stressed to the fanatic ipob members to think of the future, I myself spent 12 years plus in the north and speak hausa fluently, I have never spent 2days straight in any part of the East. So like most yorubas I think we feel more welcome in the north than in the east. So if we do part in hate, it would be better if we just stay on our sides of the divide, cos I think the clamour for biafra has been the inability of the igbos to coexist with us. So if it happens everybody should just maintain his lane. Whether or not we choose to accept biafran would be at our discretion. So the ball is in their court . also i think our nature differs and that yorubas are more accommodating in that almost everyone knows the meaning of our 'ekaabo' (welcome) greeting, up till date I don't know what welcome means in igbo. So all this might change if we have bad blood if/when we go our separate ways, and right now it seems Igbos will be asked to leave
