Naira Weaponization: Biafrans Yesterday and Nigerians Today

By Julius Afolalu

In 1968, when Nigerian currency was first weaponized, the inventor was Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in his capacity as Federal Commissioner for Finance and Vice-President of the Federal Executive Council of the military government of Yakubu Gowon. It was targeted against Lt.-Col. Ojukwu and Republic of Biafra.
However, fifty-five (55) years after Biafra, Mr. Gowin Emefiele, in his capacity as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, under President Mohammadu Buhari, has resorted to weaponizing Nigerian currency, but for what purpose, and targeted at who?
However laudable the goal and patriotism, why put too many irons in the fire? Why create a petroleum crisis at the same time? Why should anyone weaponize Naira; and thus, shed the blood of war in peace? Is the northernization of the Nigerian presidency a patriotic duty? These and other questions are addressed in this book.
The book ends with a warning that attempts to "northernize" the Nigerian presidency can provoke a crisis of unimaginable proportions that will destroy Nigeria's unity permanently. The earlier that the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and the international community looked into this and took preventive measures before it was too late, the better for global peace.
