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!

God bless you

Dear brother, I plea to disagree with your security ideas


Two things guarantee a crimeless , peaceful and free society

1) Constant inflow of money into the citizens pockets.

2) Legalizing arms for all citizens



Biafra must ensure all her citizens both male and female are armed to the teeth to protect themselves from internal and external enemies eg coup plotters , criminals, terrorists, hostile neighboring countries etc

Why do you think


1) Northern Europe has the least crime rate

2) Germany France Italy Russia etc never invaded Switzerland unlike Joseon that was invaded several times by hostile neighboring countries.



Have you ever heard of military coup in USA.?

Have you asked yourself why it has not occurred since their independence.?



Biafra should maintain a small highly technical and training military agency that will always teach every newly turned 18years citizen how to WAR to protect Biafra.



I am ready to debate with you on this in order to enlighten more Biafrans.

We need to put these things in visuals or 3D videos so that people will communicate.

BTW where are all those naysayers who say that Biafra will be just another banana republic in Africa?
Why una come run na?
Please speak now or forever hold your peace!

carnegiefan:


Thanks for your kind endorsement bro.

The debate for arming or not arming citizens is one that I'm open to anytime. I believe that arming citizens greatly increases incidence of insecurity; the data is available online. A highly employed and well trained population is much easier to police. How many times have you heard of police killing anyone in Japan? Not much.
As for the US, the main reason there has not been a coup is because people are empowered politically all the way to the city (very local) levels; cities have complete governments, complete with executive, legislature and judiciary, complete with police formations, even cities that are under 5,000 in population. People are politically empowered in the US and they can actually effect the change they want and have been doing so since 1776. Armed citizen is not the reason.

I hasten to add that I forgot to include an armed detective force OF COURSE. Biafran police detectives who should be sizeable in number should be armed with concealed weapons of course. The police men "walking the beat" should not be armed. This ensures peace and serenity in the country. Armed situations (gun armed) should of course be handled by armed detectives and SWAT.

Some African countries that got independence through war (eg Zimbabwe) quickly disarmed everybody immediately after their war of liberation. Biafra can do the same. We are not a bloodthirsty violent people. I want to be able to go out in the night and drink beer with my friends and not worry that a guy I annoyed in the day is laying ambush for me in the night out of sight. Even an armed person would not stand a chance in such circumstance.

It is for the same reason that I oppose death penalty for anyone. Humans are not developed enough to implement it correctly.

A little boy called Nnamdi is very brilliant but very stubborn. His attitude always deny him the first position at the end of the term. His dad noticing the great potentials of his little man promised to buy a sport bicycle for him.

Nnamdi was really motivated but like the bad boy that he is, he started dreaming of how to show off to his friend Wale who lives around the corner and rides an old rickety bicycle . He said he would ride the bike at great speed towards Wale's house, then swerve, do lots of stunts, raise dusts and scare everyone shopping at Wales mum's kiosk just in front of the house. His dad delivered a blinding slap and shouted at him.

"Idiot do you want to spoil the bicycle, onye iberibe".

You might have heard or read this story/joke I'm different forms.

I see lots of stunts and raising of dusts here. They are not necessary.
It's nice to dream but what stops us from putting into practice all the beautiful dream listed in the post?

What stops the execution of the Agric project? Trailers loads of tomatoes and all types of vegetables keep coming from the north that many people speak ill against, cattle,goats etc. what stops us putting into practice all the beautiful town planning and survey plans listed here. Are we going to wait till all the available spaces have been turned to another onitsha? Do you think it'll be possible to start smashing and demolishing buildings like mr Kanu has been saying? Don't we have an El rufai to sort the land and survey issues once and for all?

Apart from the defence part of the post, most of the things enumerated are achievable if done right and within Nigeria. You don't need Biafra to achieve those. We can build and manage highly efficient and advanced healthcare system by building hospitals with state of the art equipment and the personnel to manage them. Why not start now.

Why not encourage and sponsor sports and youth development. Do we have to wait Biafra comes before we do that?....

..to be contd.

WhiteTechnology:



I disagree with you


Have you checked the crime rate in Northern Europe and Switzerland against that in Japan


Asides crime, we need to arm every Biafran to protect Biafra from Hostlle Neighboring countries


Why do you think Joseon( Present day Korea ) was constantly invaded unlike Japan and Switzerland



Sorry to say this


I don't trust the other nations that will rise out of a disintegrated Nigeria


I believe they will look for avenues to attack and subjugate Biafra in other to steal her resources.



So apart from crime, our sovereignty will be violated if we are weak like Joseon.

This is in response to several threads here that question how Biafra can be different from Nigeria. Some of the threads are from people with genuine concerns and real questions, while others are of malicious intent. I created this thread to present my idea of what Biafra will look like, and by doing so show that Nigeria can NEVER offer such to we Biafrans. I am open to be proven wrong.

These are MY ideas and none else's.

Thanks for reading and please prove me wrong if you can!

Preamble: The write up assumes that Biafra will be obtained peacefully, and if so, there will be a revolution immediately inside Biafra that will cleanse the land of "Nigerian" politicians. If obtained by war, those "Nigerian" politicians will not survive if they remain corrupt during that war.
They are advised to either repent and seek the interest of their people, or pay dearly.

Details:


Territory:

SE/SS/Parts of Benue State. All determined at LGA level via referendum.

Government System:
Multi-party parliamentary system. Administrative areas of autonomous communities. No states.

National Development Philosophy:
Peace, tranquility, serenity, security, through justice to all

Goal:
Create a developed economy where every citizen and resident is free, has access to world class health facilities, jobs paying livable wages, peace, and security of life and property.

Objectives:
Build a $2 Trillion economy within 2 decades by investing massively in the following fields:-

-Human capital development through qualitative education at all levels
-Research & development in science and technology/innovation/intellectual property
-Boost Agriculture by way of grants (local and foreign)
-Boost private industry by way of grants (local and foreign)
-Mineral resource development
-Commerce -world class malls and export processing zones.
-5 international airports
-4 seaports

National Human Relations Philosophy: Be the change that you desire!

Religion: Mosques are banned. lol

Culture: Every autonomous community in Biafra shall be encouraged to preserve, enhance and maintain its culture. Each shall receive annual government grants to develop and sustain its culture.
Biafra is a multi-lingual nation with similar cultural practices on several levels.
The government grant shall be conditioned on practical demonstration of results showing positive outcomes. Example, Osu caste system should be finally deleted from our national socio-cultural and religious consciousness such that the practice will finally die a natural death within a generation. (+-40 years).

Linguistics: A new national language shall be developed by Biafran linguists who will develop it from all Biafran languages. That language shall be the official language, and be used for formal business. The introduction of a new language will be slow but deliberate, to the complete within a generation (+-40 years).

Law/Law Enforcement Philosophy:
Every citizen of Biafra is equal before the law. Biafra shall know no king, or noble; chieftancy titles and other inordinate titles, e.g. multiplicity of titles shall be banned in Biafra because they form the root cause of corruption in current Nigeria.
There shalll be two police formations; armed SWAT, and unarmed general police. 98% of police men and women will be unarmed; SWAT will make up about 2%.
The strategy for arrest and taking into custody of errant citizen shall be by use of overwhelming numbers of police. For example, a band of 50 police men may be dispatched to arrest one individual depending on the dangers associated with the situation. The police will be required to train and perfect the skills of martial arts to enable its members to disarm lightly armed member of the public, i.e. individual armed with a knife, a club, all other non-firearm weapons. Incidence involving firearms will attract the SWAT team who will shoot to disarm the armed citizen. A shoot- to- kill order shall be issued only by the top commanding officer of the SWAT, and only after all disarming efforts has failed.
Shooting a Biafran citizen to death will always attract full independent investigation conducted by a separate body irrespective of the law enforcement situation. All incidence leading to the unlawful death of a Biafran citizen or resident shall attract a maximum sentence of life in prison without the option of parole. There shall be no death penalty in Biafra. Our ancestors never practiced it and we must end it.

I totally understand your fears bro. Trust me!
That is why I said that Biafran soldiers will be highly trained and a citizen force numbering in millions will join the fight if it gets to full scale war. Also note that I recommended a minimum of 2% GDP expenditure on defence. I will explain how the money will be used.

WhiteTechnology:



It is difficult to arm millions of civilians if war suddenly befalls Biafra


It is more difficult to transform millions of civilians to highly trained soldiers if war suddenly befalls Biafra


Pleases go watch this two Korean movies it will help you understand better the need to train everyone for war


1) Jingbirock

2) Hwajung



Despite the sophistication of the UN military, China's massive human wave attacks pushed the UN military out of North Korea back to the 38 parallel line

National Defence:
Biafra shall maintain a small highly trained professional military of about 50,000.
Citizens of Biafra who attain the voting age of 18 must undergo a compulsory 2 years military training in any of the armed forces; army, air force, or navy. Biafran annual defense budget will be about 2% of the national GDP.

OP, you want to create a biafran economy that is bigger than that of Russia, Italy, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, India, Brazil, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, etc, in just 2 decades?
Go and ask Ojukwu how easy it is to build utopian society, confused Biafra!

WhiteTechnology:



I know you said so but you didn't inform our people to keep in stock enough weapons to arm every Biafra in case of an unexpected invasion.




Dear Comrade


I will be grateful if you include in your write up the need to stockpile enough weapons to arm every Biafran in case of an unexpected war.



We will support your ideal of disarming all Biafrans if only we produced enough weapons to arm every Biafran and constantly upgrade such weapons to meet modern warfare.


To prove that each person has a weapon kept for him or her, on each weapon, the name of the owner will be written on it.

Thanks bro for liking my ideas. I am only doing what Chukwu Okike Abiama called me to do. If I don't do it I will run mad!
I will try to write a small manual and probably float it online (in pdf) for free download.
Our Biafra is more than money.
Everyone must do his part. Free.
And in the end, Biafra will come.
