GavelSlam:oga, why are you being mischievous! are you running a net present value analysis or what? A wise guy came up with starving biafrans into submission and using the money of the igbos trapped in bank accounts to fund the war against them -hence, Nigeria borrowed negligibly to fund a 3 year war. the 20 pounds given to those with a proof of account is nothing but unfair. you shouldn't be giving us the present value of the 20 pounds (it wasn't kept as savings), you should give us it's past worth-more especially as the naira was introduced 3 years later. To the topic in discourse, it isn't wrong to try to use international funds for the north east, but why couldn't he attract some of said funds for the ogoni clean up? 4 Likes 1 Share |

eduj: They were given 20 pounds whether Nigerian pounds or the sterling they were equivalent at the time. How many times have you guys kept quiet over and over again as your kinsmen continue to broadcast the "common" £20, which as we've seen is the equivalent of 230 odd pounds sterling today? Nigeria is one of the few countries in the world in which the Victor has not sought the cost of war from the losers. We adopted a no Victor no vanquised policy which the newer generation refuses to accept. My computation on how much was given to easterners post-war stands. It doesn't take away the fact that we are brothers but that bolf-faced lie that many have been spinning for generations has been busted today. Call me the Mythbuster. 3 Likes 1 Share |

GavelSlam: No! You got it wrong. Biafran got £20 for any amount whatsoever they left in their bank accounts, even if you have £1billion! Those without bank deposits got nothing. So it's not like £20 compensation. It's a mark down to £20. Confirm it! This is why we should teach history. 5 Likes 1 Share |

You keep making the same mistake. Biafran wanted not higher than £20 But their hard earned savings and deposits. Imagine today, whatever you have in your First Bank account, and all you can have of it is your today's equivalent of £20. Some had millions! Traders and transporters GavelSlam: |

GavelSlam:the above is a misnomer. The naira was introduced on 1 January 1973, replacing the pound at a rate of 2 naira = 1 pound(20 pounds then would be 40 naira). base your argument on how 40 naira (it's present value then) was enough -you have a higher chance of winning the argument -then basing it on a figure (future worth) you got without recourse to variables like inflation, standard of living etc. like I said earlier, don't think any easterner saved his 20 pounds for over 30 years so that it would yield thousands in naira-hence your analogy is wrong. 2 Likes |

"The World Bank documents did not contain any programme or project specifically designed for the South-East, South-South and the Middle Belt regions since Buhari got into power." FTC guy left the entire long article to bring in a completely unrelated quote to confuse himself. The second dude claimed that £20 is equivalent of N250,000. Now we know how these guys are wired. 5 Likes |

This headline is twisted, when yu read the content carefully, yu will realise that the World Bank has embarked on 7 Projects in The North and 7 Projects in the South, so why de hue and cry over nothing? My advise to Igbo youths is that they should stop seeing themselves as second class citizens in this country, we are all equal Nigerians with all the rights. They must not continue to denigrate themselves, insulting everybody else, it's not the way to go! 1 Like 1 Share |

otil1: You have just said the correct thing. The tragedy of not teaching History in Nigeria. See how they are turning history upside down. It was a policy to impoverish Igbos forever combined with the abandoned properties phenomenon but Igbos are better for it today, because it made them resourceful and thick. |
Re: North Got Lion’s Share Of World Bank Projects Under Buhari — Documents by Deeldorado: 7:55am On Oct 15, 2017 |
Ovela1: Lies. Seven projects exclusively for the North and the other seven projects for the whole country (meaning Northern states shared from the remaining seven projects too). Nigeria is unequal. Some Nigerians, particularly from certain regions, 'are more equal' than others. It's either we end marginalisation and exclusion or allow Igbos their right to self-determination. That's the way to go. 2 Likes 1 Share |

eduj: The point we are missing here is that the so-called 20 pounds was not given to every Igbo man. 20 pounds was given to only people who had money in their bank accounts without minding if you had 20,000 pounds in the account before the war. It was a systematic way of impoverishing Igbos but it failed because Igbos rose above it. 4 Likes 1 Share |

otil1: Dude, you LOST the war. You surrendered As in you were Defeated, Vanquished, Conquered, it appears most of you have forgotten. You did not deserve a penny talk less of £20, in medieval times you'd all have been taken as prisoners of war and condemned to slavery and servitude until you can fight back to win your freedom. So STFU and be thankful for Gowon and Nigeria's graciousness in even giving you stipends to restart your lives. Do you think millionaire Syrians that lost everything to their war have been given even $1? I wonder why Gavelslam is burning time in explaining what you never deserved in the first place. We really need to teach our children their history as you said. 5 Likes 2 Shares

lol... some people will justify ANYTHING PMB does even when doing so will make them sound extremely retarded... I hope the 'crumbs' they get justifies sacrificing their ability to reason logically... the North East has been given/pledged over $600m by various aid agencies... telling a charity organisation to focus on the North East is not a problem, but the WB? no way! knowing the debt traps they love laying for developing countries, to skew resources to favour a part of the country that would not be able to repay the loan is just silly... WB funds should be used to finance projects that can pay back the loan. the HDPI the WB uses to run humanitarian issues is fraught with clauses that requires payback. |
Re: North Got Lion’s Share Of World Bank Projects Under Buhari — Documents by QuotaSystem: 9:39am On Oct 15, 2017 |
On the contrary, you should be the thankful one for the free history and logic lesson you received this morning. The value of £20 is a baseless topic because you never deserved one penny to even start with. Is it not when you deserve more than £20 in the first place that you can complain about it? Defeated and conquered people in war typically are taken as prisoners of war and condemned to slavery until they can win back their freedom. Go and research history. You should be grateful for Nigeria's graciousness. otil1: |
