Biafra: People Will Soon Start Using Pounds In Biafranland (Press Release)

As Nigerian naira keeps depreciating day by day, the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), has said that people in South East (Biafra land) will soon start using it currency to buy things and shop in the region.


Speaking in Onitsha, Anambra State, the MAS­SOB Anambra North Di­rector of Finance, Mr Martins Ezeaka, said since the value of the nai­ra has depreciated, the group may reintroduce the Biafran currency and make people use it in South East, as it did in 2011.

It would be recalled that MASSOB former leader, Chief Ralph Uwa­zurike had on February 27, 2011 launched the Bi­afran currency, vehicles, motorcycle plate num­bers and driver’s licence.




According to Ezeaka, “now that the naira has depreciated, it is to the advantage of Biafra cur­rency because you can buy things with Biafran money at a very cheap price.

“We can now consoli­date our finance sector with valuable economy to meet the world stan­dard and we attribute this feat to our brain, re­sourcefulness and holis­tic approach to the strug­gle for a Biafran state.”

Ezeka stressed that corruption was responsible for the disparity in the ex­change rate of naira in the official and parallel market.

He said; “It is corruption in the financial sector that made the naira to exchange for N200 of­ficially and about N350 in the black market,” he stated further.

Also contributing, the MASSOB Director of Agriculture in the zone, Comrade Obaji Obaji, said Biafran land is fertil­ised naturally for enough healthy farm produce, adding that for now Bi­afra has food that can sustain it until a Biafran state is actualised.

“We now go into mechanised agriculture in places like, Adani, Igbariam,Atani, Nsuk­ka, Abakaliki, Ogbaru among others,” he said.
