AyakaDunukofia: The question to ask is not which law is greater: municipal or international law? The question should be: Which conditions make one body of law more obligatory than the other? The precedent in law is that international law overrides municipal laws under humanitarian circumstances. Especially when international boundaries had been settled. If Biafra had been sustained through armed conflict or civil disobedience in 1970s by 1980s the international community would have supported separation. But today when "Biafrans" are represented in government more than over 240 ethnic groups in Nigeria, The agitation for Biafra has no successful precedent under international law. |

oyatz: Is this topic about Biafra? It is about referendum. When it comes to secession, you have to call the people by their real names. Niger Deltans is a colonial name. Lugard did not meet anyone called 'Niger Deltans' when he came to west Africa, so how did this name come about? Niger Delta is just another colonial name. Just Ijaws are enough to do their own referendum and become a separate nation. If they do this, you will go and hold them and say you are Niger Delta? Coming back to topic. Since Nigeria is an illegal colonial fraud of a creation, referendum is the only way out. While some might say that the constitution does not support referendum, of what use is the constitution if the very country it is written for is both illegal and fraudulent? A referendum in the case of Nigeria is the only wzy to decolonise those that Lugard forced together at gunpoint. |

Proudlyngwa: The right of opinion granted to the Southern Cameroonians does not in anyway interprete as a referendum or plebiscite, even by drunk standards. Nigeria recognises only the 1999 constitution, whatever that was provided for in the Macpherson and Richard's are no longer binding, for someone to quote a 1961 event in 2017, is ecclipse of knowledge. 90% of those who posted on this thread have zero knowledge of international politics, there is absolutely nothing to learn here.

It's a pity that Biafra is a trap for igbo and will hold them in Nigeria forever. The founder of biafra had killed biafra before he died. It could have been better to continue Biafra project if ojukwu died in war! Ojukwu declared Biafra a violent group and rebel against a sovereign state, which is violated the international law, waged the war, defeated and surrendered....that is the end of Biafra! No international law can resuscitate the dead Biafra! If Nnamdi kanu come out to fight for the freedom of igbo nation in peaceful agitation, he get it wrong to to take the dead Biafra for his igbo nation freedom fighting! Anything Biafra can't free igbo from Nigeria, Biafra had been condemn and killed internationally! Ojukwu even created party and and the party is still there till today, but is the party had Biafra manifesto? No! because the party know the Biafra project game had been played and lost! Igbo must come out of other new idea that will confiance international community! Not Biafra! |

McTobe: if this is true , how come Nigeria had to bow to ICC rule giving out oil rich penisular with out much fuss, Nifgeria again bowed to UN in 1961 and after independence and conducted a referendum for the Souther Cameroons to leave Nigeria |
Re: Lawyers: Can The UN Force A Referendum On Nigeria? by McTobe(m): 1:10pm On Aug 16, 2017 |
kettykin:the answer is simple, Its because Nigeria policy makers want to or better put the political office holders want to. Nigeria can decide to differ on the judgement or choose not to even attend the court proceedings with different reasons, and as far as i am concerned Nigeria have the clout to do that. but seen from another perspective i will not be surprise if the ruling class of that time did not choose to give away that rich peninsular only to be awarded oil wells in that same peninsular by Cameroun, i came to this agreement when i considered the reasons why Nigeria went to a very costly peace keeping operation in Liberia where Nigeria does not have any national interest but the interest of the Generals at the helms of affair at the time. i keep wondering why a President will cede some of its territory to another country on the ground of some judgement by an International court other than personal interest. countries act rationally in the field of international politics ask yourself in how many occassions have Nigeria acted so rationally? its not that they dont have experts in the Ministry of Foreign Affair or that Nigeria Institute of International Affair NIIA is not there to guide and direct them but the personal interest of the Political class and their friends is what is protected and not Nigeria National interest. |

The question alone shows that the op does not know how the multi lateral organization works. The highest authority of the united nations is the security council, whose decision can be vetoed by the permanent members of the security council, meaning the permanent members of security council are really the highest authority. There is what is called state sovereignty and the recent concept of universal jurisdiction. UN cannot offend the doctrine of sovereignty but can intervene on the principle of universal jurisdiction when there is crime against humanity. Been a while my international law is rusty. Now there are laid down procedures for seeking self determination by united nations, despite how smart IBO's want us to believe they have refused to set the procedure running but keep indulging in exactly what will not give them Biafra I will not volunteer the information that is how we earn our fee. Long and short op, is that united nations cannot compel a state to conduct a referendum, even security council doesn't have the power. Research about it and stop looking for solutions among unlearned people. |
