What Did Ojukwu Back The Biafran Pound with? (1146 Views)

AntiMarxist: 8:14pm On Sep 12, 2024 |
From all indications , it was the Nigerian Pound. By getting Ibos to exchange their Nigerian Pounds for Biafran Pounds, Ojukwu was able to build a war chest of sort because no one would've accepted his Biafran note. This is evident with how Ojukwu gave direct orders for the looting of Banks in the Midwest and occupied parts of present day SS states that were trapped in Biafra. As Biafran troops withdrew to their ancestral hinterland , the order was given to loot banks of Nigerian Pound notes. The only reason Ojukwu hated Awolowo with deep ion, was because after the Biafrans surrendered, it was discovered that Ojukwu had fled with the remaining loot. Awo will simply roll out a currency redesign from Nigerian Pounds to Nigeria Naira , thus turning all the loot in Ojukwu's hands to worthless paper. This move was well thought out by Awo, because it was discovered that a considerable amount of Nigerian pounds mostly that looted from banks was held in the hands of key Biafran figures like Ojukwu who could have used such wealth to start another war or insurgency in Nigeria. Also, Biafran soldiers in the Midwest and occupied SS also robbed civilians of their cash. To allow for such illegal loot to remain in the hands of war criminals was unacceptable to Awo. So there you have it. |

It's important to note that the currency swap initiated by Awo would have come with some restriction. Someone walking into the bank to exchange huge sums of old Nigerian Pound notes would have immediately drawn the police attention because the policy by Awo to redesign the currency immediately after the war was to invalidate all those looted funds floating around . |

And if he converted it to dollars knowing a currency change would negate it? Consuming agbado in large quantity is detrimental to the brain. 3 Likes |

He backed it up with Yari.b.a skulls. That's why when Awolowo noticed that his brain is not functioning the way it should be, he took the rat poison way

The indefatigable will of the people . He backed it with the natural God given entrepreneurial spirit of the great Igbo race and its sister tribes He knew it was a matter of time before Biafra would become the powerhouse and pioneer of Industrial Revolution. At the time the igbos ran everything, the entire federal civil service and private industry , stock exchange stc Even the local civil service in other regions were controlled by the great Igbos Case in point : since 1he war ended , Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani have ruled and see the wonderful job they’ve done to Nigeria . See the wonderful job the Yoruba man there now is doing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 What God has not given you naturally , you will never have . Know this and know peace 4 Likes 1 Share |

TinubuCriminal: 0hu, there was no recorded incidence of Yorubas taking over Ibo property in the west The abandoned property saga happened mostly in present day Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River and this was carried out by the indigenes of these states who witnessed the horrors of biafran soldiers and Ibo civilians on them. Can you ask why your civilians fled those states as federal forces made their advance ? The answer is simply because they fled to their cannibal lair knowing fully well that the civilians whom they had tortured, murdered in mass, raped, stole from and even eaten would have exerted brutal retribution on them or at best they would have been rounded up and arrested for war crimes. Your abandoned properties are littered in Rivers , Cross River and Bayelsa. Go and collect it if them born you well. The point of seizing your properties was tantamount to a final and permanent eviction notice. |

AntiMarxist: So according to you, no single Igbo man owned any property in Lagos pre-1967? ![]() Of course they did and your grandfathers stole those properties and used it to reverse their poverty thanks to Awolowo - the first yahoo boy in Nigeria. Like all fraudsters, he died like a rat in poison while Ojukwu was given a state burial. 1 Like 1 Share |

The retardo low iQ Ndi IPOB should be informed that ojukwu's fiat fake currency was backed by stolen and commandeered Nigerian Pound notes. And after he saw it was over, Ojukwu boardered a 12 seater jet on his own with his loot. Not one of his foolish serfs that waited on him in his bunker day and night were not allowed to Ojukwu. None of his "Generals", bodyguards, or even fleet of concubines made it on that cowardly voyage. On board that aircraft , was Ojukwu, the cockpit crew, a case of whisky , his ciggerates and millions of stolen Nigerian Pound notes. And some tools worship this coward and thief as their hero. Tufiakpa. No wonder two scammers have been doing tag team on them in the name of Biafra. |

TinubuCriminal: If you can trace your ancestry down to your immediate father (I doubt this because you sound like your typical baby factory banza that your yeast is known to churn out), I would tell you to go and ask that your drunkard 0hu descendant grand father of yours if Ibos lost any properties in the west. But note that if the Yorubas were privy to the atrocities committed by you biafrans (soldiers and civilians alike) on hapless Minority people trapped in your hellhole Biafra, they would have staged serious protests calling for the banning of Ibos setting foot on their land. |

Ojiofor: Nigerian Pounds were no longer in circulation in Biafra a few days after Ojukwu declared Biafra. Ojukwu will later stiff penalties on those who refused to redeem their Nigerian Pounds for the fiat Biafran Pound. Also, banks in both the Midwest and the entire Biafra had their Nigerian notes exchanged for Biafran pounds. The Nigerian Pounds in the rogue Ojukwu govt was what was used to procure weapons for the Biafrans. So as at the time Awo made that decision to redesign Nigeria's currency hardly any biafran citizen held Nigerian pounds in their possession. All the remaining Nigerian pounds in Biafra were loaded up into Ojukwu's escape jet. And this is why Awo carried out that policy so that Ojukwu will not benefit from the pillaging his biafran orcs committed on his direct orders. |
