In the early days of Biafra, Ojukwu issued fraudulent bonds that had Nigeria's Central Bank seal and high placing officials signatory to it.

The bonds issued by Ojukwu to mostly arms and weapon dealers and also mercenaries had Eastern Nigeria as the final redeemer of the bonds.

Now why will Ojukwu issue fake bonds that are redeemable by the defunct Eastern Nigeria while he was HoS of Biafra ?

Could this just be a fraud in the making to absolve Biafra of any future obligations to redeem their debt or was there actually a reason why Ojukwu as HoS of the breakaway Biafra will issue debts in the name of Eastern Nigeria guarranteed by the Central Bank of Nigeria?

I believe that Ojukwu was not and never interested in Biafra.

As Awolowo was once quoted that Ojukwu was more interested in "conquest than seccession".

Ojukwu issued those bonds deliberately in the name of both Nigeria and Eastern Nigeria because Ojukwu had plans to retake Nigeria and become it's soverign HoS.

This position by Ojukwu is still the same ambitiion of present day biafran protagonist and we saw it with how they all dropped their Gucci flag for the Nigerian flag when Obi declared his intention to contest.

I have come to see Biafra as a fraud and more like a means to secure power at the centre for the Ibos.

Ojukwu started a wàr he was not prepared for, in wàr, u need food, money (in whatever acceptable form) as well as manpower.
Ojukwu had neither food nor money to finance a wàr.
And when they refused giving them food, they started çryîñg fouI.
It is same mistakes most of the agitators are making today, if u are encircled, where will you feed from?

The thread is begging to explain why Ojukwu will issue fake bonds with CBN seals and signatures from high placing officials in the federal govt.

At first glance it will appear as a fraud in the making but when you consider that the bonds were issued on behalf of Eastern Nigeria , them you begin to see that Ojukwu had greater plans to retake Nigeria and place himself as HoS and from there abrogate Gowon's decree creating states .


The invasion and occupation of the Midwest and subsequent putsch by Biafran rebels towards the west exposes that Ojukwu was merely using the declaration of Biafra as a cover to build an army to retake power for himself .

You can check the CIA declassified files on the Biafran war.

Ojukwu's mercenaries and arms suppliers were abandoning Biafra and ending supplies after they found out the bonds they had been issued beared the CBN seal and had Eastern Nigeria as the final debt redeemer.

Even a Jewish PR Czar will later find out that the $1 million bond issued by Biafran govt was worthless as it beared the seal of the CBN and had the defunct Eastern Nigeria as its final debtor.

The Jew , Goldstein gives up spreading biafran lies as he found out he had been scammed



The European mercenaries too started having a rethink; they were convinced that there was no money and that the bonds were a fraud. Peter Lynch, the Australian correspondent working for United Press International in Biafra, told the American Ambassador in Lagos on his way back that Pierre Laures, the Chief French Procurement Officer, had disappeared. “All the French mercenaries of the Faulques Group had left Biafra as they found the going too tough and had not being paid.”

Goldstein, the PR guru, called up Robert Smith, American diplomat in Washington. He said because of the discussions they had about the validity of Biafran bonds, he too had started to scale down his commitment to Biafra.

On 13 August 1968, Goldstein addressed a press conference in Washington, where he announced that he was done with Biafra and Ojukwu. In his resignation letter, he accused Ojukwu of using Biafra’s starving children to negotiate favourable concessions for himself because of the OAU summit coming up and that Ojukwu never cared about those starving children. Yet, Goldstein wrote: “Starvation was the most agonising death that can befall any living creature.” He seemed to have claimed the moral high ground.

In a 13 February 1968 conversation he had with Robert Smith, Country Officer for Nigeria at the US State Department in Washington, Goldstein said Mathew Mbu, Biafran Commissioner for External Affairs, arranged for him a Public Relations contract worth “one million pounds in negotiable bonds” with the Biafran government. He presented the two certificates for the diplomat to see. One was for £200,000, payable in 1968, and another for £800,000, payable in 1973. While both bore a stamped signature of a Nigerian Central Bank official, they seemed payable to the “Ministry of Finance of Eastern Nigeria,” Smith noted. Goldstein said he was told he could borrow money against the certificates pending the time they matured. In other words, the Biafrans had convinced Goldstein he was holding gold in his hands.

Smith then told Goldstein that Biafra was in serious financial difficulties and he was not sure Biafra would be still be in existence by the time those certificates would mature. The certificates, Smith added, were of doubtful value and authenticity, given the names and offices of those who signed and stamped them. Goldstein replied that they were not fake and that as a matter of fact, he was going to the World Bank later in the day to see how the bonds could be added to Biafra or Nigeria’s external debt portfolio when he eventually had to cash them.

Seems, Biafra was a Special Purpose Vehicle after all.

The group just wanted the power.

They understood the geographical limitations of the east. They were land-locked and still are.

No trade route. Probably have to beg their way through other regional borders to do trade.

The whole Nigeria as a cake, was probably their real desire.

The minute the current SS was liberated from their death cult Biafra, that was the moment Biafra died in all of them.

This is why any talk of Biafra without the SS is like a bee sting to their blockus.

Even that lunatic Kanu went on a rant declaring all of SS as "our territory" and that anyone who opposes them be they from SS or Nigeria will be killed.


Biafra then and now had no interest in independence but was an ethnic land grab and population displacement movement.

This is why you will see all Ndi IP0Bs openly ing the ongoing genocide in Palestine by their Jewish slave masters because what Pissrael is doing in Palestine and the greater Levant mirrors their agenda and ambitions in Nigeria.

One would be 100% sure, if Peter Obi won the election, the Igbo Group will see no need to release an evidence.

'They' will defend it as an authentic win.

When things do not go their way, 'they' will constantly ask for evidence; as if they can never go wrong.

When you quote history it is necessary to provide link to clear any doubt because it is not an opinion.

You are correct. History requires references. A literature-piece has been provided by a commenter, which should clear some of your doubts.

Regardless of an evidence, the story does seem believable anyway. The story is quite synonymous with what happens today with some persons of the east.

The OP is right.. the fact that the loser called Odumegwu Ojukwu came back to contest for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria shows he didn't truly desire or care about biafra.. It was all fight for dominance while he used hunger and kwashiorkor to kill off Igbo children and women. In the end, he achieved nothing and died miserable.

Ojukwu's invasion and occupation of Mid-Wesr region and his failed attempt at invading and occupying the Western Region are testament that Ojukwu had greater plans beyond Biafra.

The criminal wanted to force rivers and co, who were part of eastern region and so marginalized then to become together without their concept. Typical of igbos. Even up till date, they still try to add SS to their discussions. Attache by force.

That's what one will naturally assume at first glance but when you consider that Ojukwu only declared Biafra as a "time out" to lick their sounds following the overthrow of Ironsi , and when you consider Ojukwu's invasion and annexation of the Midwest region from where he launched an attack to capture Lagos and the entire Western Region, you will now see that Biafra was never the option for ojukwu and his Zikists in Enugu but rather the colonization of all of southern Nigeria.


I believe this was the main reason for ojukwu declaring Biafra.

Also, the current crop of Biafran agitators like gidgiddy are more committed to Nigeria's total dissolution as a balkanized Nigeria will make it easier for these modern Biafrarists to conquer and annex the coveted SS without any intervention from the north and SS .

The real reasons are that Ojukwu intended to annex the entire Southern Nigeria and that's why he hinted on the bond slip that the final redeemers of the war bonds will be Eastern Nigeria and the guarantor being the Central Bank of Nigeria in Lagos.
