Aribisala thanks for this thread. Till today Ibos tongue is still wagging about the 20pounds and injustice done to them. They are useless. In sane countries all the bifran generals after surrender would have been court martialed and summarily executed. Out of his magnanimity Gowon spared the mofos but all thry nag about is 20pounds. Their spirit is stuck there. 4 Likes 1 Share |

aribisala0: Mr, u are painfully ignorant. not every adult was given 20pounds, BUT THOSE WHO HAD EVIDENCE THAT THEY HAD SAVINGS IN BANKS BEFORE THE START OF THE WAR. and u seriously think that much paper evidence will survive after a 30 month bitter war that ravaged almost every part of the east. |

ifyboy60: It had NOTHING to do with bank accounts that is a lie. £20 was given in exchange for CASH Biafran Pounds cash Whether it was one million biafran pounds or 20 Biafran pound they were given 20 Nigerian pounds It was nothing to do with Bank accounts so stop that lie Those who had bank acounts had business with the banks not the government. If you had proof there was nothing stopping you getting back ALL your money Such paper evidence can and did survive. Ojukwu got his money and his father's money as did many Ibo elites.

This myth that those people who had Nigerian pounds had these forcefully appropriated IS A LIE Yes people felt bitter that they had to hand over their Biafran pounds for whaat they considered a pittance. Only a heartless person would not sympathize. But that is no excuse for distortion or LIES. Government did not seize anybody's money. If people could not get their money from banks for want of evidence it had NOTHING to do with government. Those who had proof got their money Ojukwu did Did Chinua Achebe ever come out to say he could not get his money? 1 Like 1 Share |

Why is this thread important? Because many Ibos have been fed an unquestioned lie all their lives and some of them are now parents or grandparents doing the same The issue is not an emotional one It is one that is subject to evidential challenge and counterchallenge Did the Federal Government of Nigeria appropriate the money of Ibo people in Nigerian banks after the war in 1970? Is there not one Ibo person alive or their child who has a bankbook to show an account where the owner was refused acccess to their funds. NOT ONE Not even a photograph of a bank book Not one such person gave an interview anywhere in the 1970s 1 Like 1 Share |

Thread reminds me of attempts by Nazis and Racist white groups to deny the existence of Holocaust meted on Jews by the Nazi Germany. Yorubas truly are the problem of Nigeria. Any Igbo man who advocates the continued existence of Ndiigbo with these lots in same country is not mentally stable. 4 Likes |
Re: BIAFRA TWENTY POUND LIE BUSTED by pazienza(m): 1:31pm On Dec 15, 2018 |
Let's listen to what Sanusi, a son of the caliphate had to say on this issue. "The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country. Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity". https://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/yorubas-are-the-problem-with-nigeria-by-sanusi-lamido-sanusi-elombah-com.111348/ 1 Like |

pazienza: Let us not widen the debate so as not to derail. We are not here to debate whether Nigeria has treated Ibos badly If you want to discuss abandoned propertty create a thread for that We are here Just to CLARIFY FACTS FACTS FACTS One simple question did the Federal government focefully appropriate Ibo Bank accounts in Nigeria holding Nigerian Pounds in exchange for twenty pounds. It is not a complex question . Rather one that lends itself to a simple YES or NO |

Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated Pay close attention to this part of Sanusi assessment of Igbo travails in Nigeria. What Monetary fiat was Sanusi referring to? Of course, the twenty pounds policy meant to pauperize the Igbo by the Yoruba intelligentsia, just few months before they pushed for nationalization of foreign firms in Nigeria, which resulted in the majority of the companies ending up in Yoruba hands, having made sure the Igbos were in no position to challenge them for those firms, via the Monetary fiat (20 pounds policy), instigated by Awolowo and his Yoruba cabal. 3 Likes |

Sir, no disrespect here. One of the best ways of wasting your time is to try and reason with Ibos. |
Re: BIAFRA TWENTY POUND LIE BUSTED by 0monnak0da: 1:42pm On Dec 15, 2018 |
pazienza: We do not need to speculate Provide facts Did the Federal gover ment take the money in Ibo bank accounts? You are always emotional liars Here you invoke Awolowo what has he got to to with Twenty pounds Few months before they put companies in Yoruba hands So the companies were gifted to Yorubas? lol FYI immediately after tthe war in 1970 Awo gave Gowon his resignation notice letter and left the government in 1971. After Awolowo Shagari became the Finance Minister from 1971-1975 FACT!!! The indigenization decree was promulgated in 1972 These are the myths and lies your grandparents propagated to you out of hatred.. We are not here to discuss indigenization but Twenty pounds myth A complete fiction that has been dismantled and discredited 3 Likes 1 Share |

adelee777:Actually I am not even trying to do that because they are very emotional and childish beings. Thank God for the internet. When you google the Twenty pound thing this is one of the hits. So this refutation is for the record. Young Nigerians who are not Eboes need to be equipped to challenge the steady stream of Eboe lies that are published in many places. They need to know how to challenge fiction and what questions to ask these liars The typical Ibo approach when you rumble their lie is to cchange topic We are talking about Twenty pound and this joker is talking about Awolowo and indigenizatiion. Again doin so with more lies Indigenization that was done under Shagari as Finance Minister is somehow Awolowo's problem 2 Likes 1 Share |

Why are Yorubas eager to disclaim this monetary fiat they instigated against the Igbo? Why are they dying on top of the obvious? Because they need to cover their tracks. It's akin to how the Ottoman deny and raise several arguments against their genocide against Armenians, or how Pro Nazi Germans and whites have load truck of distortions to disprove the Jewish Holocaust. 5 Likes |

The onus is on the accuser to prove their allegation. Is it not funny that no one can provide a shred of evidence to bak up their absurd claim By the time they start talking of Armenia you know that there is no evidence forthoming just emotional twaddle. What has £20 got to do with Armenia 1 Like |

some people are just heartless fellow, take joy from other people pains. it really sad. whether £20 is paid or not that is non of your business. some people don't know what their action or utterance here leads people to do or even shape their mind. imagine if 18 years old or less of Igbo descent who pass through this thread will think and who this particular thread shape his or her ways of seeing you and your tribe, believe me the traits will be pass on.
