How Will Biafra Be Built From Scratch If It Secedes by arabmoney14: 1:37pm On Feb 13, 2021
Am curious as to how Biafra will be built as a nation from scratch if its struggle for independence become a reality. How will the country switch from naira to whatever form of exchange it chooses?

How will it gain recognition from important countries worldwide?

How will it start a new economy and the money to finance such?

What form of administrative division will it adopt? Unitaralism or federalism or something else?

And what of all the Igbo civil servants and security force under the current Nigerian system, will they be given the red card?

And the corrupt politicians who hold so much power, will they be assassinated or what?

Also, if the succession would come through a war, how will it manage its people?

This and a lot more are things that I've been thinking about and will appreciate your insights.

NB: I'm not trying to start an online tribal war, just asking some intelligent questions with an open mind to learn.

My brother, I am Yoruba guy. Let me sincere with you. Money is a scam.
You don't need money, neither do you need natural resources to build a formidable economy.
All you need is Intelligent and Visionary Leadership and Intelligent and Productive Followers who believe in the vision of their leaders.
That with good international partnerships and economic alignment is enough.
With these factors even a country in a desert can be a global power even if they do not have any resources

This is a very good question however, I want you to know that that Ipob has floated a commercial bank since last year, with other underground projects and stuffs needed to run and sustain a 21st century country. Again, I don't know much so I can't divulge more for fear of the unknown... don't stress yourself over Biafra because this time everyone who's in the fight knows it either death or death, either way freedom for all is the end game... Just sit back and watch the results of years of strategising

As along as there is rule of law and freedom to pursue our dreams and right to happiness.
The most important thing is the value system a society possess. The next thing is the education and skill of it's population. Lastly is the willingness to embrace change and innovation.

I think Biafra will be better positioned because they are a people of free mindedness. They are not subject to traditional rulers and politicians.
Everyman is a King in Biafra.

I foresee alot of people running to Biafra land for asylum, because in the land, you can be who you want to be.

This year ondo and oyo will fall to the caliphate, 2022 ogun and Lagos will join too. 2023 Nigeria will scatter and everyone will answer their father’s name weather they are ready or not.

During the last civil war biafra already had everything set up before the battle began, banks, currency, institutions, government officials, capital city etc and that’s how it’s going to be when next the country scatters only this time their plans will be better and more solid.

So op don’t worry about biafra but worry about the rest of the country and how they will fare when biafra exits

Much of the question you are asking are things that have already been done before in Biafra. Ojukwu declared Biafra in 1967 and came up with a new currency(Biafran pounds), the Biafran central bank, Biafra was recognised by some countries such as France, Ivory coast and Tanzania. Most of the civil service positions were from departing Nigerians, there was a new cost of arms, new anthem

Its all been done before

Re: How Will Biafra Be Built From Scratch If It Secedes by arabmoney14: 8:32pm On Feb 15, 2021
Found this though on an old thread. Pretty interesting shocked shocked
carnegiefan:
National Defence:
Biafra shall maintain a small highly trained, highly mobile 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. In designing the cities, defence and access to defence materials should be considered such that citizen force can quickly access weapons/military facility in times of foreign invasions.

International Relations/ Diplomacy:
Biafra shall maintain a small number of diplomatic missions abroad. In Africa, the missions shall be 12 total in the following countries: (West Africa) Ghana, Cote D'Ivoire, Cameroon. (Southern Africa) SA, Mozambique, Angola. (East Africa) Kenya, Ethiopia. (North Africa) Egypt, Morocco. (Central Africa) Gabon, Congo DRC. Depending on how Nigeria behaved on our way to freedom, we shall decide whether we need an embassy in Abuja. Missions in other countries will be predicated on common sense; eg, Biafra will have only one embassy in the entire former Soviet republics and Eastern Europe -in Moscow, Russia. (North America) Biafra will maintain about three diplomatic missions in the US alone -there are about 2 million Biafrans in the US. (The Middle East) Israel. (Far East) Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, and India. South America Brazil. Europe UK, Germany, France, maybe Italy.

Built Environment:
Biafran cities shall be designed to be world class by teams of architects/landscape architects (for cityscapes), urban planners (for layout designs, zoning/planning), civil engineers (for underground drainages and sewer systems), transportation planners and engineers (for modern road/rail/waterways transport systems). The goal of the professionals will be to achieve serenity, peace, sanity, and freshness that nurture the innovative mind.

Healthcare:
Biafra shall develop a world-class health infrastructure that ensures that all Biafrans receive the best health care available worldwide. Biafrans already produces some of the best doctors in Africa, and Biafran doctors are currently in many countries of the world. World renowned doctors/specialists will be encouraged to partner with Biafran doctors/specialists/hospitals and biotech companies to create a holistic robust health care sector. Oversea travels for health care will be rendered irrational because for a fraction of the cost, citizens can get same world class care in Biafraland.

Industry:
This sector is one of the three (the other two being agriculture and commerce) sectors that must provide the constitutionally required employment for all. Biafra will go into production of everything possible, from light industrial materials already being produced in Biafra, to heavy industrial ones such as automobile, aircraft design/production, computer hardware/software, military hardware development, ship building, construction equipment development, agricultural equipment manufacturing. Biafra will seek to develop and participate in technological/innovation competitions abroad as part of strategy to refine skills, discover and nurture talents in the field of manufacturing and industry.

Agriculture:
Biafra will adopt effective strategies by ways of training and adopting best agricultural practices for food and agro-allied sectoral development. Biafran experts will go to Israel, South Africa, US, Malaysia, and Brazil to train and partner with farmers in those countries. This sector is expected to provide jobs at all times for Biafran citizens and residents.

Commerce:
This sector will provide an opportunity for rapid transformation of the Biafran economy because the sector already controls a huge chunk of the economy. All it takes is an ingenious input by a civilized and organized government to infuse it with the necessary international partnerships to boost it. Markets will be transformed to international trading/export centers, while malls will spring up in places of current markets. Flea markets will be designed for international tourists to buy African curios, paintings, and Africa themed movies.

Oil and Gas:
Biafra will gradually phase out export of oil and gas, except exports to strategic friends of Biafra which shall continue or even be expanded. The whole idea of a rapid economic development for Biafra assumes that this sector will be exploited mainly for support to the key sectors of the economy -industry, agriculture, and commerce – as part of the main goal of the economy -jobs for all.

To be continued...

Yes, it infact happens most of the time.

Let me give you an example, white and black people live in South Africa but the white areas are more developed and organized than the black areas, if the whites decides to break away from south africa, they will still continue that development because it is something they have started before now. use that logic for the east, The east is in Nigeria, the East isn't advanced, it is undeveloped just like any where in Nigeria, that means even if they leave Nigeria, nothing will change, it will still be the undeveloped place like it was in Nigeria.

When you were running naked with spear in 1950s, those cultures have built an advanced system that you can not comprehend.

South Korea and West germany were already developed in their different enclaves, when they broke up, they continue the development

The east has never added anything to civilization, ordinary pipe borne water can not be installed in their homes, schools are shabby, no good roads, infact electricity is a joke, now imagine, if they left Nigeria, nothing will change.
