The Niger Delta will willingly come to Biafra. The issue is when funds are allocated. That's when it can get tight. Anambra would want the cut and power, River would as well, Abia would, etc, etc.I dont believe in Biafra. would rather a restructured nigeria.
while biafra for igbos would sound good not every person in the Niger delta agrees.
no one has time to warring between ikwerre(igbo), over land or itsekiri(1 million) , edos( 5 million), urhobos(3 million), or yorubas(30+ million)
Too much headache to be arguing over what land or people are going where.
Niger delta tribes are all related to both igbo and yoruba - that's how my dad explains ethnicity to me.
Biafra would have to decide what it wants to be. The reason why Benue is important is for Food and River for Oil would have all of the makings of turning Biafra into a powerful business state not just within West Africa but possibly in the world. But how they handle corruption, crime, education, business trade, not letting the Lebanese eat like usual, and practicing fair trade with America, Europe, Asia and most importantly, Africa will make Biafra great. Truthfully, letting the ex-pats and their brain power that is currently in America, Europe and Asia would be vital as well. Building strong relationships with the embassies around the world is just as huge. Nigeria will still have their oil fields and for agriculture, they would be fine but it's clear, the Northern best businessmen will have to pick a side.
Dangote for example businesses is in Benue. Then again, so will Igbos in Lagos and Abuja. That said, I think many of the elites will keep their power regardless of the nation split.
That said, Biafra has more potential than Nigeria by a mile but what would happen when Biafra is far more successful than Nigeria. Not to mention, Israel is controlled by white supremacists right now, is that alliance really that strong. It was America by proxy of GB who convince them to stop fukking with us during the war with Nigeria in the first place which is why we lost.
To me, Biafra needs to do something many African countries refuse to do. Pick an area of expertise, focus the population in that direction and build a powerful nation that can compete with the rest of modern society.
Note: Not saying we need to end our trading with Lebanon, that will never happen. They are like our lifetime trading partners. But it won't be like it was in Nigeria. It won't be where all of them are eating good and we aren't. That's never gonna happen again. It will be like it used to be. Where both will eat.
