God, can't wait for Biafra to happen! Can't wait to be the local 'spare parts' lord who controls how cheaply or expensively people rides their vehicles.
I'm visualising business meetings with my 'Igbo international partners'. A Biafra would mean better relationships with the Igbos that they would open most of the local businesses they have colonised for participation by locals. That's too good a chance to waste. We would have better relationships as trading partners than countrymen.
I'm going to be damn busy. No law stops me from building a career as a dealer in building materials just because I'm a dealer in spare parts. If my former countrymen, the Igbos could do it, so can I. Not only that, I will extend my tentacles to cover lucrative businesses like pharmacy, electrical/electronics, transport and indeed, any other business that I've always had interest in but couldn't penetrate due to the influence of the Igbos especially, their proxy control of the businesses via trade unions.

The day Biafra is born, the day my dream for a corner shop that will be spewing out hundreds of millions monthly in revenue will become a reality. That day, wherever the Igbos hide the 'Midas' that gives them their touch and business flair would be revealed to me. That day I will kiss goodbye my cosy, air conditioned and sound proofed office in favour of a dusty, oily and noisy small office in the busiest part of my city. Sure, I won't mind that the fireproof safe in the shop is the only available seat where I will be hosting my 'Igbo International partners' each time they come visiting from Biafra.
Come to think of it, I know the nook and crannies of Arewa as well as the culture and tradition of every inch of the region. Actually I'm part of the Arewa culture and traditions therefore, I will not be caught doing things that may inflame emotions with tragic results. Every inch of Arewa is home to me. If an Igbo man from a remote village in the S'East could come to Arewa and build a multibillion Naira business empire from scratch, I think the only wedge between me and such a feat is Biafra. Biafra is the key that will unlock suppressed business potentials among redundant Arewa youth. Arewa will be a beehive of flourishing businesses hitherto, considered exclusive preserve of the Igbos. Think of the thousands of "Bla Bla Bla & Sons Importer/Exporter Nig. Ltd" that will spring up from the success of Biafra.
I have always prayed for the last drop of Nigeria's oil to kickstart the process of diversifying the economy (the real thing) by returning to the old order which built Nigeria before we were cursed with oil and got so dizzy to put first things last. We can latch onto Biafra to clear the mess created by over reliance on oil. It's always beneficial to open new windows of opportunities. Imagine a Nigeria with a Biafra neighbour where business relationship would be mutual and conducted with the same respect ruling international relationships.
It's good to be fasting, sleeping and dreaming. Please Biafra, be real in the shortest time possible.
