Having relationship with France is why we would never have developed

Ojukwu would not have been able to hold power for too long because the South South would revolt and igbos would be the last people to support a sit tight president

China is a socialist only on paper they are capitalist in practice

South Korea had very limited resources, and no oil, so they had no choice.

Biafra would have a lot of poor people demanding that 'they get some benefits now'...which makes a import dependent, resource dependent economy inevitable. And it took SK a long time to develop.

nairalanda1:
Biafra, would have been a oil dependent, broke resource dependent country.

The only reason why Biafra went into weapons development was simply because the Nigerian government cornered the oil receipts. That left Biafra with limited money to pay for weapons from abroad.(The Brothers war gives a good description of how that happened). Should Biafra have won the war, they would have become a massive importer of stuff using oil money.

The problem with most African countries is simple. Independence was sold based on the idea that everyone would enjoy the good life. An industrialization project means a long period of suffering before the benefits come in. That is a effing tough sell to the populaiton. So, what many African countries did on independence was mass welfarist projects ...based on money that was not there. To sustain those projects, more and more raw materials had to be sold...and when the population grew too large, loans were taken.

That is the reason why Biafra would never have been a super power, and Nigeria and most African countries are broke. It is also a part of the reason why South Africa is regressing.

Christianity happened simple. Christianity's job is to keep you waiting for spirits to come and solve all your problems and if you are not solving your own problems like Thomas Edison then you won't be inventing anything

mrvitalis:
I don't think so ojukwu was in the Awolowo socialism school of thought that has kept Nigeria backward till date

If the war hadn't happened the eastern region would have been most developed because Micheal okpara was already doing magic


Of if Michael okpara and Eyo ita was allowed to govern biafra then we would have developed

If Zika, imoke and akpabio still controlled biafra it would have failed

helinues:
Who would they be having war with? With themselves ?

Anyways, swlf inflicted pain started for a while now

Kafirbigot:
This is epic and lovely...

I want this thread to BREATHE...

Keep updating it

Kafirbigot:
While the whole Nigerian state with their support from allies used ' refined weapons'.

The ingenuity of the BIAFRAN..was able to

Refine fuel in a chaotic war situation
Manufacture weapons in the same situation
Improvise defence and attack strategies
Built runways and hangers that served their purpose.
Built marine equipment that empowered and supported land battles.

NIGERIA as a State used 3 years and external backing of super power Nations to subdue the BIAFRANs.

But now, they don't have that backing because the world now sees them for what they are.

NIGERIA is An unworkable union that breeds antiquated kleptomaniacs. Who their foolish Supporters worship out of Generational bigotry and ethnic profiling.

They can't afford a major Military offensive because WAR is money and they have embezzled everything. Moreover their Military has been infiltrated with people that have obvious sympathies for renowned terrorist groups.

It's pretty much obvious that, Country is DEAD...all the shout of 1 NIGERIA will end immediately the pipelines are smashed to pieces. Then they will understand...

Achebe saw it all....

gidgiddy:
Even the 5 States, you unity beggars no go gree make them go

yommen:
If Biafra were to be all you Igbos boasted it to be, I see no reason why SE can't be a very good example of those things. At least, you get allocation and IGR too but your governors can't even proof otherwise. If not, all of you wouldn't keep flooding down to other parts of Nigeria.

yommen:
Biafra that was being boosted by France is the only African country controlling. You and yeye white man, make unna sorry.

gidgiddy:
Well, one thing is certain, 'one Nigeria' turned out to be an almighty disaster

Ibrahimcoomasie:
If that's the case, how come we are not seeing great inventions that will shake the Africa and the world coming out of the SE...

Raskimonojendor:
Aslong as they take ONLY their 5 states, there would be wild jubilation will happen all over Nigeria.

Ibrahimcoomasie:
If that's the case, how come we are not seeing great inventions that will shake the Africa and the world coming out of the SE...

Albysnrfanpage:

BlackhatMentor:
If it will make you feel any better.

I can assure you no one in Africa gives a damn what you think of them.

U can hate in peace and carry on with your daily activities.

Creamcrest:
The statistics is very wrong.

Anambarians hate school,they prefer been an nwaboi,that's the reason they can hardly write correct sentences when writing receipts.

If you think the handle that created the above post is being sincere and have at any point in time rendered financial help to her, sorry you have been scammed full time.

I will post evidence later cos I'm busy now. Too many scammers lurking around here. That's if she doesn't get to see this post and deactivate before then.

ilovewater89:
It is because of this particular post I want to comment. You see the fact is that there is something missing about human history.

Where exactly did first Human life form start from. It's awkward all intelligent inventions (computers, cars, and aeroplane) is coming from people who have adopted the Roman's as their fathers or the Greeks.

When science is being explained in class, we are forced to learn Roman numerals and even adopt quotes and ideas from the Roman's.

My point is this, why is inventions and technology revolving around EUROPE?
Obviously there is a higher intelligence at play.

I personally believe that there must have been a global attack at a point in human history... Those who were behind it survived and tried to introduce religion or a system of belief to keep us under control.
Or even better, Earth is Not Real and its a simulation. Since earth is a simulation, you can expect the creator of the simulation to continue improving a certain area of the program to be extremely perfect and somewhat special.
