OIL and Global implications Nigeria’s economy depends almost entirely on oil from Niger Delta states. The west and the north’s economical interests are deeply embedded in the “south south.” The idea of a peaceful dissolution of Nigeria is thus impossible. The financial interests of the powers that be are too grave. As long as there is oil, There can be no peaceful dissolution of Nigeria.. Western powers will also be reluctant in supporting Biafra, because a Biafra that includes the oil producing regions will have ripple effects on the global oil market. The actualization of Biafra will also destabilize Africa. A dissolution of Africa most populous country will send shock waves across Africa as other indigenous people will also fight for secession in their various amalgamations. Western powers stand to lose in a destabilized Africa. It is in the interest of America (and the west) to keep Nigeria one for the sake of global market stability. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ4PFiIYAaM Kanu should run for office Kanu is the undisputed leader of the Igbos and Biafrans. Kanu can easily become governor of a state and can also influence the elections of other eastern states. With Kanu, and his people in power, he can drastically improve the quality of life for his people, and provide the roads, schools and power that the current system failed to provide. The "no election in Biafra land" policy only makes it easy for the powers that be to be re-elected and continue the status quo. The no election policy simply means that the elite only need a handful of votes to retain their hold on the masses. Biafra as a completely independent entity will be costly, and the “zoo” will not allow it to go in peace. A semi-autonomous state within a state seems more viable without bloodshed. Kanu can change Biafra land as a legitimate elected official. Federal government allocations embezzled by the likes of Okorocha, Amaechi, Obiano etc will finally be entrusted to Kanu and his people. This way we avoid war, and Kanu can have political control of Biafra land. |

samdigo90:Are you not ashamed of your self to pen this write up? So the unity of Nigeria is all about oil and gas wealth? Well, its not like all Nigerians didnt know this, it is just that hypocrisy rules Nigeria. Kanu is seeking something that is higher than political office. He is seeking freedom and emancipation. Only a fool will say that his freedom is costly |
