The Sun reports that Mr Martins Ezeaka who is the Anambra north director of finance of MASSOB said in Onitsha state that the depreciation of the naira may necessitate the reintroduce the Biafran currency for the people of the south east to use in financial transaction like it did in the past.
“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.”
“It is corruption in the financial sector that made the naira to exchange for N200 officially and about N350 in the black market.”
