To arrive at a possibility of $2 T GDP in 2 decades, I assumed a current GDP of about $100 Billion, plus an annual infusion of about $20Billion from abroad, plus a growth of at least 10% annually.
Still crunching my numbers.

juman:
Yiiboss have bad leaders.

Biafra would just be another useless african country.

mazimus:
super, super, super, superb. wunderbar (german). what an intellectual. anyway i am not suprised, its in the bloodline! dont warry, its soon, its coming. can you see it? okay atleast you can smell it naa!

pazienza:


Only those with future and free mind can dare to dream, and those attributes are things children have in abundance.

Biafra will be a great country.

Don't you have dreams for Oodua republic.

yang:
I especially like the part of 2yrs compulsory millitary service for every Biafran and after the Millitary service the soldier can go home with their arms.

thats how to guarantee defence from external agression like is done in switzerland.

It is said that this is the reason why Germany or France refused to invade switzerland during the world war cos the entire population of switzerland is heavily armed.

This is also the same reason America is very powerful and why any Saudi Attempt to Invade yemen will be suicide.

Cos the large part of yemenis are heavily armed

@Bolded: Yes these are my thoughts. I simply articulated what Biafra should be that I can live with. Most importantly I demonstrated that these can never happen for us in Nigeria due to many issues. Imagine a nation of 98% literacy rate being ruled by another of 5% literacy rate. That is unacceptable bro.
Nigeria is systematically degrading and destroying the Biafran mindset and culture.
As late as about 20-30 years ago, children could walk around freely in Biafra land, moving from compound to neighors compound to play, hang out, even eat, without any fears. Today parents are holed up in their homes with their children. Everyone is afraid of his neighbor!
I will address this part of the issue more later when I have time.

VickJames:


Many of our brothers will find themselves home when the time comes. This will be a big deal when you have too many people in the region. Lagos is filled with people squatting everyday because of accommodation. The problem of accommodation will have to be looked into.

pazienza:


Lol! Yorubas are the only group in Africa that can match and even outdo Biafrans if they put their mind into it , Oodua country has the potential to match and even outrun Biafra in human development indices.

But the problem is that they are too obsessed with the Igbo man progress, that they often lose sight of the big picture, which is the fact that stopping the Igbo man progress, will not make them progressive. They can only progress by working on their own progress, without minding whatever the Igbo man is doing.

carnegiefan:
Still on the social orientation, a peaceful and progressive society is achievable only through making sure that everyone works and is responsible.
Can't harp on this enough!
Policemen in Japan are mainly unarmed. Why be armed when the populace are busy working? Most crimes are propelled by joblessness.
Constant growth can only happen when everyone has access to jobs.

BTW these are the type of things that can never happen in Nigeria because there is a section of the country whose religion allows indolence, and that section insists on ruling. That is why peace is impossible in Nigeria; that is why police in Nigeria needs to be heavily armed to control a raving population.

"Bunkon". Take beauty and sports for example. While do you think, a whole lot yorobbers men are marring Igbo women?. Answer: To produce beautiful women and muscular men for sports and fashion. .....Biafra rocks!.

carnegiefan:
On the social change proposed, it basically interfaces with the economic philosophy of jobs for all and "every man must work". Even if the job is standing in an assembly line to assemble bicycle parts, the worker will be paid. The economy will be designed to look "Scandinavian" -no one will be too rich for everybody, and no one will be too poor for everybody. A CEO can earn CEO wages not BANDIT wages!
If you can earn $2million per annum, you should not want to be paid $200 million. The excess is usually wasted on girlfriends and concubines!

Every citizen and resident is entitled to a job unless they prove unworthy or incapable of working. If the incapacitation is from a disability, the person will be paid a livable wage for the rest of his/her natural life. If the inability to work stem from personal deviant choice, the person MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO BREED. I hate eugenics, so this is not one. All I know is that there is something intrinsically wrong with a person having babies and not wanting to work. If such a person is a man, he will be forcefully castrated forced to undergo vasectomy. If a woman her fallopian tubes should be cut!

In Biafra people must learn to be responsible human beings, not animals who breed millions of kids who end up "almajiri".

@carnegiefan and others pls be careful of ur choice of words and other things u say

More on this...

carnegiefan:
On the "how" of the skilled manpower to accomplish this, I shall simply say that Biafra CURRENTLY boasts some of the best in Africa, if not the very best.
Just last week I met a Biafran guy -an engineer who works in the oilfields of one of the gulf states. The man said that there are many engineers of Biafran descent like himself working in many of such countries. Our technocrats are scattered all over the world. Our medical doctors are all over the world. Overnight, the Biafran workforce can rival that of many developed countries.

So, this is very achievable.

Someone earlier in this thread wondered where the initial money will come from. Well, no need elaborating more on that!

kettykin:
Biafra will be the real Giant of Africa and the black race .

The best footballers and coaches will be from Africa, the best movie actors, movies producers and movies retailers will be from biafra.

Biafra will have the best and fastest growing economy in Africa courtesy of a very good skilled economic team.
The best music producers and entertainers, the best sports men will be from biafra.

I also see a high academic standard and products.

Biafra might be multi lingual French and English afraid biafra might not be a member of the common wealth or Ecowas

VickJames:

Because a man wrote test and failed doesn't mean other people will fail.
The greatest failure in life is not doing anything.
Thanks for the goodwill

samoyeson:
the question to u all what have u done or contributed to make Nigeria better in your capacity other than trying to divide it.

carnegiefan:


Our biggest cities should look like this.


Dense, but planned and serene.

juman:
Yiiboss have bad leaders.

Biafra would just be another useless african country.

carnegiefan:
I will return later to elaborate more on the economic strategy and social re-engineering needed to create a peaceful, safe, and civilized African country.

To be continued...
