Govt of Biafra
Biafran Government | Office of the State Counsellor | International Relations Briefing | Series 1 | Lessons From Other (Neighbouring) African Countries | Part 1 | Equatorial Guinea
In My Opinion , Biafra (Most Definitely) has Quite a Lot to Learn from Equatorial Guinea ; and other (Neigbouring) African Countries.
Thirty Years Ago , in 1987 , Nigeria - with it's then GDP Per Capita of around $300 (Three Hundred Dollars) Per Year , Still Snobbishly Looked Down on Equatorial Guinea , with it's then GDP Per Capita of around $300 (Three Hundred Dollars) Per Year - Even Though Both of Them had almost the Very Same GDP Per Capita Per Year in that Very Same Year of 1987.
. . . Alas , How Times have Shockingly Changed since then . . .
While Nigerian Politicians were Busy (Avidly) Squandering their National Oil Revenues , the Thrifty Little Government of Equatorial Guinea was Smart Enough to bring in (Hard-Nosed) International Wealth Management Experts - to Judicially Manage it's Budding Petroleum Industry.
In the Year 2012 , the GDP Per Capita of Equatorial Guinea was coming in at almost $30000 (Thirty Thousand American Dollars) Per Year ; while (during the Very Same Period in 2012) the GDP Per Capita of Nigeria was (Horrifically) Trailing (Far) Behind - Ten Times Less - at Almost $3000 (Three Thousand Dollars) Per Year.
In 2017 (to Date) , there are said to be over 1,000,000 (One Million) Miles of Very Bad Roads (and Potholed Streets) in Nigeria ; while (during the Very Same Period to Date) , there are said to be less than 100 (One Hundred) Miles of Very Bad Roads (and Potholed Streets) in the Whole of Equatorial Guinea.
In 2017 (to Date), there have (allegedly) been Daily Major Electricity Blackouts (Power Cuts Lasting for More than 60 Minutes) in Major Cities (and Towns) all over Nigeria ; while (during the Very Same Period to Date) , there (allegedly) have never ever been any Major Daily Electricity Blackouts (Power Cuts Lasting for More Than 60 Minutes) whatsoever , in Any Major City (or Town) in Equatorial Guinea.
In Fact , (from what I reliably gather) , Equatorial Guinea now generates Far Too Much Electricity for It's Own Domestic Needs ; and has (now) started Exporting Electricity to some of it's Neigbouring Countries.
For Those (of You) Who Don't Already Know This , there is a Substantial Population of Igbo (Speaking) People in Equatorial Guinea : That is Why the Biafran Government is (Respectfully) Watching Equatorial Guinea (Very , Very , Closely indeed) ; as the GDP Per Capita (Per Year) of Equatorial Guinea is precisely what an Autonomous Biafran Region should Fundamentally Aspire to Treble within it's First Thirty Years of Sustainable Financial Viability.
. . . In the Interim , Do Feel Perfectly Free to (Enviously) Watch The (Relatively Old , But Highly Astonishing) Youtube Video (Below) to See Things for Yourself . . .
But Don't Get Too Jealous (Though) : Apparently , Things are Even Much (Much) Better There (Now , in 2017) than what is Seen in the (Relatively Old) Video !
Sincerely , Faithfully and Respectfully ,
The Most Excellent Professor Obi GKB
State Counsellor of Biafraland

BIAFRAN GOVERNMENT - BILL OF RIGHTS
Like the United Kingdom , which also has an Uncodified ("Unwritten") Constitution , our Defining Statute is fundamentally based on Precedent and other Pieces (etc).
Thankfully , to Judiciously Prevent a State of Utter Statutory Chaos , we proudly have one of the World's Most Tolerant Bill of Rights.
The Biafran Bill of Rights is currently being expanded , by the Government in Diaspora (of Biafra Land) ; to irrevocably include all of the following Fundamental Rights and Freedoms (inter alia) :
* the right to self determination
* the right to peaceful coexistence
* the right to life, liberty and security
* freedom from slavery
* freedom from torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
