What if Biafra Gains Independence by Queenlovely(f): 6:17pm On Feb 02, 2021
Possible Scenario; If Biafra Gains Independence
Biafra include ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Imo

the members of the old eastern region refused to join

First year;

Biafra is now a free country, after all the struggle Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had liberated Biafra. people hail MNK. Some want him to become the president but he wants to be an elder States man, after much cajoling , he decides to run for president but no body wants to challenge him. A unanimous decision is reached and he becomes the first president of Biafra.

Still on the Biafra territory, die hard supporters want MNK to fence the whole of Biafra, Biafra is a landlocked country, then there will be compulsory need for I.D card so Biafra can easily identify foreigners.

1. FOOD ANS AGRICULTURE; Biafra is landlocked, they need land to farm to stop the over depend on the zoo, land is scarce because Biafra population explosion, Igbos were chased home to Biafra from the zoo. they are called foreigners in the zoo.

Finally they decide that no man is an island, they import food from English speaking Cameroon, their nearest neighbor, since they are surrounded by their enemy the zoo.

2. LANGUAGES: The official language of Biafra is Central igbo after months/years of debate. Igbo is taught in schools before English. Anambra,Imo,Abia, Enugu wants their language as the official language, The Anambra man still feels Superior to other igbos, it brings resentment, the other igbos feel like minority especially ebonyi. Internal division starts, some people travels out of Biafra in anger.

3 .CURRENCY: THE face of Mazi Ojukwu is on the face of the Biafra currency, They would later include MNK face on the currency.

4. BUSINESS AND TRADE: THE zoo and Biafra hate each other. you cannot enter the zoo without ID card or visa. igbo business men are chased out of the Zoo, So many igbos have left Ladipo, Alaba , many of them would start adjusting to the change in environment, some will complain that market is slow because of the fierce competition in briafra land

Meanwhile, not all igbos return to Biafra, some have adopted other identity, they change their names or religion, Biafra calls them traitor or infidels. their abandoned properties in Biafra land will be stolen by their relatives.

5. CORRUPTION AND DISILLUSIONMENT: Igbos silently accuse MNK of corruption, some will accuse him of favoring his Abia brothers over other igbos. His lavish lifestyle is a contributor. he owns a jet and other luxury, he claims it's a gift from other countries.

Many Biafra citizens will see that MNK is afterall just like every politician, he had used the masses to get what he desires. they feel they have made a mistake. they will be too proud to accept they made to the Zoo. internal division threatened to tear Biafra apart. Zoo will encourage Biafra to read about animal farm by George Orwell.

6. Although most igbos are Catholics especially Enugu, MNK will influence most youths to switch to Judaism. They will say things like Israel is our ancestral home, we are the Lost tribe of Israel and all that jargon.

Biafra now has a new master Israel, MNK will beg for weapons and market to defend Biafra land, as churches will replace synagogues.

7. US VS THEM MENTALITY; Rockets will be exchanged everyday at the Biafran and Nigerian border, MNK will inject hate and competition mentality into the heart of every Biafran. The rivary will be much as they will struggle to outdo the zoo to prove a point.

In athletics, economy, education etc, fierce competition, they want to see each other destroyed. The rallying cry for Biafra will be the mere mention of Nigeria. every Biafran will be alert.

UN special envoy wants a truce or treaty between the two countries, the ministry of foreign affairs of both countries are always trying to reach an agreement on neutral ground. A no man zone will be created between the two countries.

8. MAJOR EXPORT; The igbo culture will be exported to Africa and the world, Biafrans will be called proud people with the way they carry their selves. TV and movies showcasing Biafra to the world, The igbos becomes the Germans of Africa, they are business oriented, they pool capital to achieve big project, gradually as their exports increase, they become the Giants of Africa, Biafra visa becomes hot cake.

Biafra business men brings in heavy capital for huge project as they learn to trust each other and the court system of Biafra vows to enforce agreement. and punish corrupt politicians amongst them.

The zoo comes begging to be business partners, Biafra Gdp surpassed that of China and Russia combined, igbos becomes the global business leaders in everything , white men wants to study igbo language and culture

When Biafra breaks out, their will be lasting peace between Biafra and Nigeria because citizens of each other will now know that they are now answering to different government so, born to rule mentality will no longer be there, also, no one will feel marginalized and both will be afraid to start a conflict as they two will be trying to heal

Biafra is a failed state already, dead and cursed.
I can't emphasize that enough!
Tell me what do south east contribute to Nigeria economy nothing absolutely nothing.
Remove Drug and crime money from southeast and you see another Somalia.

Let me dispel some myths here. Lets say Biafra becomes independent and is the 5 South Eastern states, while the rest of Nigeria carries on.

1) Nnamdi Kanu has said many times that he will never lead Biafra in any political position. He is only interested in achieving Biafra

2)The 5 states become 5 autonomous Regions with resource control and fiscal responsibility

3) Biafra is admitted into the UN and invokes Article 124 of UNCLOS which will prevent Nigeria from blockading Biafra and denying it access to the sea.

4)A special fund will have to be set up to build River ports at Obuaku in Abia, Oguta in Imo and upgrading Onitsha port. Barge technology should be looked into to make sure Biafra has access to sea

5) The immediate creation of the Biafran Armed forces and Police to ensure security

6) Discussions with Nigeria to share assets and liabilities, immigration, protection of properties on either side as well as trade

7) Application to join ECOWAS

cool The five Regions have a sovereign conference to map out a Biafran constitution of the future

9) Massive drive to get Igbos home abroad to invest massive back home as well as attract investment

10)The 5 Regions begin harnessing their resources. Anambra should tap its huge gas reserves, Ebonyi should harness its huge solid mineral deposits and agriculture, Enugu should move on its huge coal deposits. Imo and Abia should expand their huge oil reserves

The road will not be easy in Biafra in the beginning, but I trust my people, we dont slack. Biafra will be better than Nigeria

Sorry Anambra and cross river state can't be part of Biafra, they're two different people.

Biafra has only 3 states angry
Re: What if Biafra Gains Independence by Whois(m): 1:39pm On Apr 20, 2021
They need akwa ibom, cross river or rivers state or they cooperate with akwa Ibom so they can have access to river niger in onitsha, IMHO the latter is best option for a sea port
