No they are now in Africa and Manchester United would be competing in the next caf league.
sigh. Education in Nigeria though.

lol there is no crime in enlightenment, just explain to him and move on without this attitude, I bet most Americans dont know that Africa is a continent they think that a whole of africa is just a country

BreExit wins...interesting times ahead, all should brace up.

My question is if they eventually leave EU, will EPL( premier league) still be participating in the UCL??(Champions league) cuz champions league is mainly for european countries!!!!!

UEFA is not an arm of EU, the same way CAF isn't an arm of AU nor FIFA that of UN. British didn't vote to leave UEFA but EU. Viva Biafra

What does this mean for Biafra/ns.

Nothing as sweet as true freedom and unrestrained self-determination

What is the unknown unknown here and who is afraid of Igbo-Exit from 'N'?

Next thing cld be IGBOXIT after BREXIT!

Methinks if you give Ndi-Igbo such referendum u might likely record 101% for YWC - yeswecan!

I mean 100-years is enough to know abt sthg that wont work!

This should serve as a pointer to the fanatics and zombies of "one Nigeria". Referendum is a democratic instrument of letting people decide their sovereignty. No union is a permanent thing, no marriage is final. Therefore, if any of the ethnic nationalities that Lord Lugard forced into the illegal Union called Nigeria in 1914, such as my fellow Igbos, want to leave as a separate country, they should also be given a referendum

[/s]

This should ratther serve as a pointer to u, Ugandans and ur dilector that its not by calling Nigeria a zoo, on setting up treasonable radio stations, or hanging broadcasting instruments illegally on communication masts, or by instigating hate, insulting the serving president and other tribes, or calling Nigeria a Zoo. Those that voted didn't call EU a Zoo, neither did they set up broadcast stations to preach hate. Be sensible for once

The same way u are silent now about buhari but didnt let people hear word during GEJ's tenure. Abeg who u epp? Go and sit down one place and leave these igbo ppl alone with their demands. If God says they will go so be it and if God says otherwise then so be it. Buhari wont chose for them. He supported palestinian two states so why come down here and start killing these peaceful(i mean more peaceful than these demonic Palestine)Igbos? To all igbos out there i want u to know we all yoruba are not against ur biafra dreams and also want u'll to knw that not even all igbos are supporting it.Tgif!!!!!

Thank you very much. Not all igbos support secession. If Nigeria was UK, it will just be a matter of organizing a referendum, telling them what they stand to gain and lose if they seceed and allow them to make their choice. I bet when the facts are laid bare, some of them will have a rethink and vote to stay. The idea of always shutting down secession is wrong, it is doing the country more harm. I was in Edinburgh shortly before Scottish referendum and judging by the rhetorics, i thought Scotland is gone. Some of my friends who were campaigning to leave later voted not to leave. Reason? One told me he was no longer convinced about the whole thing. But if UK decided to use force, people like that will be convinced to leave.
Come to think of it, it doesn't cost a nuclear armed UK to quash any idea of secession then why didn't they go through that route?

They will remain in UEFA organized competitions because EU is different from UEFA.


UEFA is in charge of football in the whole of Europe as a continent.


Turkey is not part of EU but they come for UEFA organized competitions

Fvck Brexit. The U.K economy will suffer immensely for this retrogressive and short-sighted decision. These id1ots just reduced the British economy ratings in the world to noughts. Fools!

I really pity British economy; her economy benefits from EU policies, which attracted investors. With this referendum,I see investors going elsewhere. Moreover, breakup of UK is inevitable, as n.Ireland and Scotland voted to remain in EU and more hostilities from other EU members who never liked the Brits.

This referendum is a sober reflection for Nigeria and the government that is shooting innocent protesters because they want to leave, freedom of leaving a union is scared and nobody should forced to stay in any union.

Candyrain:


You are wrong. Whether EU or Nigeria situation it doesn't matter. What matters is the people. A country is what it is because of the people in it. If the people say they want to leave they should be allowed to and not threatening them with war.

Whether Nigeria is a federation is not the case but what the people within this federation wants.

Does federation equate to slavery? Does it mean people can not speak out on what they want because of a so called federation?

People make a country, people make federation so therefore people should still decide what they want.

Kapish!!!

The constitution is an expression of the will of d people. That's why d preamble to the Nigerian constitution says: "we the people of Nigeria." If u want to amend d constitution, d process involved is explained in d constitution, so d constitution is not subject to diverse whims or wishes of a group among d people unless those wishes are strong enough to occasion an amendment of d law of d land

fiizznation:
My friend, bother nobody with this Biafra gospel. Didn't you see how the UK conducted themselves in the most civilized manner? Did they threatened EU with war if they don't get their referendum? Did they go about cursing everybody in Europe? Where they staging silly protests, thereby constituting themselves as nuisance? These and many more are the questions you need to ask yourself.

You have representatives in the NA, the house of reps, you have governors, state assemblies, political elites, leaders etc. These are the people that should be at the forefront of your Biafra agitation and not some silly illiterates that are only good in using a pirated radio station to curse everybody

The renewed agitation for Biafra started with MASsOB in 1999. They adopted Ghandi of India peaceful approach, but the government of OBJ clamped down on them because of their Biafraphobia.

That approach changed when they found out they are dealing with baboons and monkeys in a zoo. Nnamdi was a defender of the OneNigeria Project, so the question should be, why the sudden change?

Damsonkc:
And in Nigeria we won't have a referendum. We will instead crush any group that wants to secede, right? Who said they civilized us?

Time shall tell.

princey83:

True. lived in the UK in those years that EU migrants flooded the tiny island from poorer EU countries. They basically took all jobs that no one else would do. i saw africans and asians losing their survival jobs to EU nationals despite the fact that most of them couldn't speak a word in english, but they had an advantage cos they needed no work visa.

i watched as universities stopped funding non-EU nationals for msc and phd courses as they had enough applications from EU nationals. Jobs were exported to poorer EU nations cos of cheap labour, hence manufacturing industries closed down.

Highly skilled workers moved in from greece, spain, portugal, italy e.t.c to take top jobs in the financial industries, and unemployed highly skilled britons felt betrayed. Yet, the UK was one of the biggest contributors to the EU project. Germany is next. These two are the sole reason why the EU exist cos of their strong economies.

The prospect of turkey joining the EU by 2020 was the final nail on the coffin. An islamic country of over 75 million people where wages are as low as $2/hr. Alot of people were scared that the UK would become flooded by turkish migrants. lol.

Very apt. Also the influx of Islamic extremists into the EU through turkey is a massive cause for concern for countries like the Uk

If UK resisted and use army to quash the Scottish referendum, it will result into civil unrest than setting up a mere radio station, Biafra agitation has been long overdue, since 1999 MASSOB is in existence, let the government organize a referendum for them,if they decide to leave,let it be, nobody should forced to be in place that he doesn't want

Those making comparison
Did those that spearheaded the campaign antagonize or blackmail d reigning govt?
Do they have a 'Biafra' radio that primarily specialises in blackmailing d country
Is their 'Kanu' foreign based who sneaked into d country in a criminal manner?
Did d agitators of secesion call d UK a zoo?
Was their 'Buhari' insulted by d campaigners of secession?
Answer those questions and compare approaches

The reason why I'm always against this call for Biafra is just coz they were silent all through GEJ's tenure only to surface when power left the southern region..

No they didn't need to antagonise the govt because they have a listening one and they've done the needful.

On the other hand we have a govt who threatens u with war when such talks comes up and they also go the extra mile to kill people off. If the Nigerian govt had done the needful there won't be any need for radio Biafra and others.

For ur information massob had been in existence during the time of OBJ so leave GEJ out

That bitch, Angel Merkel, has destroyed Europe

My primary concern is that the Pound exchange rate against the Naira should not decline too much o. Let it remain 400+, otherwise na wahala for me.

Hehehe this is interesting.
MissGdope, sorry o.

Aside from Germany the Brits are the only other net contributors to the EU coffers. An estimated £350M per month if am not mistaken. This cannot be sustainable especially when that money could go into things like the NHS and provision of more affordable housing.

Scottish referendum loading.........
This time,they are leaving.

Candyrain:
I see some "one Nigeria" zombies viewing thread but too ashamed to comment.

Dismembering/restructuring of Nigeria next. If our colonial masters can do it, why can't we? Britain no longer have the moral right to say Nigeria have to stay as one.

Well said

Just like Nigeria has her problem, every other country have theirs too. The votes show that even Britain is not as united as it seems on the surface. The world is highly polarised since division at tower of babel. Voices of dissension everywhere. Na so e go continue till Jesus comes back.

Ikr. Bunch of hypocrites, eh! If they hate immigrants so much, they can always recall Canada, America, South Africa, Australia.... Mtcheeeeeew! They started the globilization of the world; they should quit their whining now that it's started happening to them. Like the Brexit will stop the hardcore immigrants. Get with the times people! You think Eastern Europeans leaving suddenly means manufacturing jobs will come back? Hahahahahahahaha! Your economy will suffer! But hey, you'll be a pink country. So Eat and drink your pinkness!

And for those comparing it favorably to the Biafra movement - you know, the pink-skin worshippers; as if the Brexit wasn't marked by vitriol, hate, anger, fear and even the murder of a sitting member of Parliament! Forge your own path you morons and stop looking to former colonizers who terrorized your own people! With people that think like you, no wonder Nigeria is still remains underdeveloped.

This is what civilized people do.
They come together, brainstorm and decide to leave or stay by voting.
We saw the same with the Scottish referendum.
No insults, no name calling of other people and above all no soliciting for weapons
Good luck to the civilized people of UK - the world will always take them seriously.

My exact thoughts. I was telling somebody just last night that if those clamoring for Biafra were serious and had their peoples backing, they would vie for elective posts in the state and federal levels, then make noise and push for a referendum on the Biafra issue. But we all know that those shouting are doing it for selfish interest. I keep warning people to be wary of politicians.

This is good news

lindabon:


The laborious research ordinary individuals in these truly great nations go through before making decisions concerning the future of their country is admirable. Despite all their major allies encouraging them to stay, all economics arguments was in favour of them staying in EU, all (but one) of the major leaders of their opposition parties wanted them to stay, their prime minister wanted them to stay, Obama wanted them to stay, big corporations wanted them to stay, and the list goes on. But despite all that, people decided to go and vote for what they believed was the right thing for their country. Putting sentiment aside, Defying all the odds, Challenging the system, questioning the status quo, and here they are today...making HISTORY!

Though I think they would have been better off in EU, the remarkable thing here is the extraordinary way the people of United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, despite all the fears and doubts caste in their mind by their leaders and everyone they looked up to. No wonder they can and will always achieve great things. RESPECT!!

Truth be told. If there was a referendum to leave Nigeria here in the South west, I would vote leave.

Maybe when the so called "civilized" read "white" countries stop helping themselves to the resources on the so-called "uncivilized" read "non-white" countries. And if you think that isn't the nature of things; if you think they don't aid third-world corruption; if you think they haven't helped put dictators in power; if you think they don't hold on to trillions of YOUR money; you need to get your nose out of their asses.

ooshinibos:
it is Nigerians fault and the rest of the nations that refused to implement good governance they have put pressure on civilized nations via immigration ..Britain is now tired of Africans coming via Europe to Britain ..that's the truth ...why can't other countries be developed like UK

BekeeBuAgbara:
In 2014 there was Scottish independence referendum, the arrowhead Alex Salmond is never seen as an enemy of the state or thrown into jail.

In 2013 David Cameron an advocate of Remain promised the people of UK Leave/Remain referendum on EU which was carried out yesterday, the people voted to exit EU.

But in Nigeria some people go haywire whenever they hear Biafra referendum as if their lives depend on it.

Kanu's mistake I keep telling people was when he started cohorting with touts. If he was serious and had the people support he would vie for the senate or rep and work to put his fellow idealist into elective posts and start making noise about referendums. Not posing in the bush with guns. Once he did that (posing with guns) I didn't take him serious anymore.

Was Nigeria a self-determined federation? Did the Igbos originally decide to join up? Did the Yorubas or Hausas? Or was the country cobbled together by the same Britain (that present-day idiot Nigerians are praising as "civilized" without care for the wishes of its citizens?

foladara777:

All you people equating the EU to the Nigerian situation should do a little research and understand the difference. Nigeria is a federation, the EU is not. At best, the EU is a confederal system. A distinctive feature of federalism is d repudiation of secession. Do u see Texas having a referendum to secede from the US?

Dude, I agreed with what you were saying till you ended on a wrong note! Nnamdi Kanu called GEJ many names too and Yes! They weren't silent during GEJ's tenure! Get your facts right! As for our Biafran brothers, you guys should channel your agitation towards a call for a referendum! and not calling Nigeria a Zoo and insulting other citizens!
