In 2012, I bought a land in Maitama extension in Abuja and Amuwo Odefin in Lagos. As soon as I started the building, came the Biafra agitations. Looking back at the pick of the Biafra agitations, all I could see was a picture of war. Building collapsing and everything was destroyed. Then I quickly remembered a story about Adolf Hitler, when he said to one of his friend in Austra that the Jewish are prospering, building houses and taking over Europe. Then he concluded by saying that soon there will be war and everything will be destroyed.
What came into my mind was my uncompleted building in Maitama extension in Abuja and my land in Lagos. Behold, I rushed to Abuja to sell the building only to be offered a peanut because the Alhaji who bought the house from me knew that I was in a desperate move. He saw the fear in my eyes and took advantage of my weakness. When he gave me a Zenith bank cheque, in my mind was look at this fool, he is buying a property that will be destroyed by war soon.
And I can also feel the same in his mind, he will be saying, look at this foolish Igbo man, I just cheated him and bought his property for not up to what he has spent. Tomorrow they want to occupy other people’s land without developing their region. I lost 20 million from the total money that I have spent on that building including the purchasing of the land. Today, to get a land in the same area will cost you between 70-100 million Naira. Not to talk of the building inside.
This is the reason why sometimes, I sounded frustrated and aggressive in some of my articles. This is to say that sometimes, you need to be gambler to be able to survive and that is why most of the time, gamblers often survive while some get broke. Had it been that I know that we are not going to go to war with the Nigerian state, I wouldn’t have sold my house for a peanut. I would have been 150 million Naira richer today. But that is life because right now, I’m applying a zero some game to console myself. That was why when our leader announced that our demand has been met, while others were celebrating, I was crying.
Although, I was upset when I heard the announcement because I wanted a Biafra that will go through another war so that all the buildings in Lagos , Abuja will be destroyed. But as God has chosen the way he wants Biafra to come, I have no command over his wish. Am I angry yes, am I upset yes but one must lose something to gain something and If Biafra comes without a gun shot, I will see my lose as my own part of the sacrifice that I made towards the restoration of Biafra Republic.
When Biafra finally comes, it must be built based on Justice, equality and fairness because it will be degrading and evil for us to have spent all our lives in the western world, only to come back with all the degrees without learning anything that will better the lives of our people so I propose the following
1: There is the need to construct a wall bigger than the Chinese Great Wall to demarcate Biafra and South West/Northern-region. This wall will starts from Benin City and ends in the Northern Region. How will this wall be funded? Well, to my own opinion, It will be based on a collective funding and every citizens of Biafra will contribute in his or her own little way to achieve the building of the wall after he or she has finished his university, by serving the country through building the wall. Which means you will spend 3 months from the one year that you will serve your country in building the Great Wall.
2: Those who betrayed the Biafra struggles now will not be allowed to have a Biafra passport because they never believed in Biafra but they will be issued a permanent resident card. Which means, they will not leave the country until they die except that they have a Fulani or other country’s passport to be able to travel out of Biafra.
3: On immigration policy, you can qualify to have a Biafra citizenship only if you are a Christian and your priest or pastors or rabbi must issued a written affidavit testifying that you have been baptised and have been attending church and fulfilling all the church regulators. This policy will be applied to third party/ies. There will be no dual citizens in Biafra land so either you chose Biafra passport or chose the country you hold their citizenship and get a permanent resident status
4: Accommodation: Every Biafra must be entitled to an accommodation, it is an offence to allow a Biafra citizens to be a homeless person within Biafra Republic. To ends this, there is the need for the government in engage in a mass development of low cost building across the region.
5: Minimum wages will be 200 dollars or it’s equivalent and it is an offence to pay a Biafra citizens bellow the minimum wages and it is also an offence to own or delay Biafra citizens salary more than 24 hours from the due date.
6: There will be a resource control, which means whatever you extracted from your land, government is entitled to 20% of the proceeds.
7: Education must be free, from primary to secondary only if you studied on any of the local languages. You are entitled to a University loan which you will pay back as soon as you have gain employment after your university.
8: Military: All military must remain in their Barack’s, and if any military wish to go out of his or her Barracks, it is an offence to go out of your Barack’s with your Gun.

A: those who received bribe of any amount, if they report to the authorities implicating the person who bribed him or her, he or she will be free from any prosecution while the other person will be executed in public. B: He or she will decide how he or she will be killed. There will be an option of the execution either by feeding his or her body to the lion or by chopping off his or her head in the public. C: Receiving of any kind of gift while holding a position that can influence others from carrying their duties or that will lead to a change of approach in your office amounts to corruption
10: On police, we must have a state police and all states must have control over their police formations. It is an offence for any police officer to have a gun or take their guns outside their police station.
11: On political party: There shall be two party system, and individual can contest an election without belonging to any party. Sharing of any gift during an election periods amount to inducement which attracts a capital punishment
12: On Asylum: Asylum can be granted to any individual who is prone to persecution but that individual must show a sign of respecting the culture of their host and must not in any way, I repeat must not in any way try to impose his or her believes or wills to the host community.

15: Underage marriage : It is abomination and offence to perform any kind of marriage between underage girl of below 18 years of age with an adult.
16: On Judiciary : The Judiciary’s must be independent, and can veto any case in the country. The president has no power to influence the Judiciary or appoint the head of the judiciary, it is an offence which will attracts impeachment if the president or any high rank government officials try to impose or appoint or interfere in the judicial system.
17: On Journalism and social media, It is an offense to publish any story based on assumptions without any evidence to back up your claims. The offence will attract a 5 years imprisonments or an option of a 1 million dollars or its equivalent to Biafra pounds.

19: On witchcraft or occult membership, Anambra people pay attention. It is an offence which attracts a capital punishment to any individual both the third party performing a sacrifice with a human being.
20: Spying: USA, China and Russia pay attention, it is an offence to spy on Biafra government, the offence will attract a capital punishment or an option of 5million dollars or its equivalent to Biafra pounds. At least we will be making cool money from the USA, Russia and Chinese people.
21: Gay and Lesbianism : It is abomination to engage in such act, because it is against our Christian faith and the offence will attract a 10 years in prison or an option of 200,000 dollars or its equivalent to Biafra pounds. Gay people take notes because we must uphold the bible morality teachings in the Land.

26: On imports duty: There shall be free duty on goods that cannot be produce or grow in the country and a high tariffs to goods that can be produced locally in order to protect the local industries.
I must make it clear that whatever I'm saying here is based on my imagination, based on my assumptions or my opinion. Yes Biafra in my arms will be brutal but great because we have lost men and women. We have lost innocent souls by those whom we called our leaders, by those whom we have looked up to for helps from them, by those whom we have called upon to protect us. Instead of them to protect us, they have betrayed us and sold us to the Fulani caliphate for a pot of soups, so why won't I revenge on them if I have the power. My idea of revenge will not result in killing them, hell no but they will live but will be stripped off every benefits in their own country. They will never be entitled to have a Biafra passport, but they will be issued a resident card or status.
