So, why has Nigeria been excluding the South Eastern Part of Nigeria (so-called South East and South South) from its budget plan, and notably the 2025 Budget plan from its list, even though the bulk of the funds to finance Nigeria's budget proposals are generated mainly in Biafraland and complementarily by Biafrans at other angles and phases of the economy?
Let's clarify outrightly for those who will likely feel outraged to hear that much of what finances Nigeria's budget comes from Biafraland and Biafrans. The OIL AND GAS, which has remained the major, if not the sole foreign exchange earner for Nigeria, comes from Eastern Nigeria (Biafraland, even if some people may devise any divisive, deceitful, delusional, and self-destructive nomenclature like south-south, south south south, south south south south, etc.), and that whatever else that is classified as Nigeria's internally generated revenue, rests mainly on the shoulders of Biafrans.
In continuing their clandestine genocidal war against #Biafrans, Nigeria, under the instructions of the British Government, has stagnated, if not stifled itself economically, as much of what would have enhanced the welfare of the people, and as well boosted the economic capacity of Nigeria, have been deliberately sidelined, or inadvertently mortified. Think of what would have been the case with functioning refineries, vibrant seaports, international airports, railway networks, road networks, cottage factories, modular refineries, electricity availability, and encouragement of SMEs.
Can anybody imagine what would have been the case if Nigeria had not boxed or chained herself to the obnoxious and unscrupulous quota system of education that grants university admission to somebody from Zamfara with a score of 50/400, whereas somebody from Biafra with a score of 250/400 is not qualified for the same admission? Does anybody know how much this absurdity hinders, impedes, and destroys Research and Development?
Despite all these visible calamities brought upon Nigeria by the fear-instigated policies of the Nigerian Government, targeted primarily at Igbos, Nigeria has not learnt any lesson. The Nigerian Government's 2025 Budget proposal includes this visible, glaring, obvious, skillful, and deliberate exclusion of Biafraland (Igboland) from the scheme of things. This implies that the further systematic stagnation, stifling, emasculation, and genocidal obliteration of Biafraland is not only in full force but is on a continuous reinforcement and consolidation.
At this point, it will be pertinent to ask who is benefiting from this Igbo subjugation. First, Britain MIGHT think she is gaining, as the stagnation of Igbos is a demonstration of the extraction of her pound of flesh, to which they swore, in vengeance for the humiliating DEFEATS that Biafrans inflicted on them in the years past.
