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?

You are right.. But at different periods in our history, there have been constitutional conferences, constitutional review committees and constitutional drafting committees all comprised of Nigerians of all tribes who had d option of removing provisions that were unacceptable. So, the constitution as it is now is a reflection of the will of d people at some point. And if u feel that it is no longer consistent with the with the will of the people then the process for constitutional amendment should be put in motion

foladara777:

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

the people of Nigeria have never written a costitution for themselves since 1914. If you are not fronting your extreme ignorance you would have noted that. All the constitutions from 1914 to 1960 were written by white intruders for their own benefit and never for that of the indegenous people. 1979 constitution was a downloaded version of the US contitution by the military, same as 1999. Nigeria was not founded on popular sovereingty. Its constitution was fabricated to serve a particular interest. Your attempt to even defend it is an unmitigated affront on psyche of civilised people. Please stop sounding shameless.

brave decision that should be considered by an almost-torn-apart Naija.

But its advisable for us to wait and learn from the outcomes, we were said to be volonized by the region.

I am excited by this news. I want to see how everything would turn out.

missKiffy:
Can someone pls enlighten me on why Britain is leaving the EU

Britain is leaving the Eu because they are fed up with the influx of migrants from Europe especially the poorer countries like Romania, they complain of cheap labour, unemployment amongst their youths because all the low skilled jobs that used to be done by students are no longer available. Etc

The schools hospitals and transport services are over subscribed, house prices have gone up so is rental.

Some of the Eu migrants claim benefits for their children living in their home countries.

Also there is the cost to UK , they pay £350million a week although they get back about half in subsidies, the U.K. feels that money can be put into the health services and education.

There is also the EU rules preventing them from deporting criminals, buying bent carrots etc

There are a lot of other reasons but these are the major ones

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.

MY BROTHER, I TAYA OOOOO
NA BY FORCE TO REMAIN 1
NIGERIA NEEDS REFERENDUM MORE THAN UK .....
WE ARE A FAILED ENTITY
AS I'M COMMENTING NOW, I JUST GAVE A MOBILE POLICE GROUP #200 FOR NOTHING AT A CHECKPOINT SOME MINUTES AGO......

Your ignorance is not helped by your blatant arrogance... This is elementary government or political science... Before d MacPherson constitution of 1951 there was a London constitutional conference in 1950, there was another one in Nigeria before d introduction of the Lyttleton constitution... Also, before the 1979 constitution, there was a Constitutional Drafting committee headed by constitutional lawyer F.R.A Williams whose recommendations were vetted by a constitutional conference, same thing in 1989... All members of d committees were indigenes. Plss go to secondary school bfor u start commenting on issues like this

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

Oh I see! You are angry that they are calling Nigeria a zoo, insulting other tribes, setting up treasonable radio stations and instigating hate because they want to create Biafra?

Really?

You won't even be happy that they are doing this? When Lord Lugard was creating Nigeria, he was not even as kind as this. He just brought guns, shot your ancestors, raped the women and took their lands. You should even be congratulating IPOB for seeking Biafra in a far better way than the way Lord Lugard made you a Nigerian.

shut the Bleep up! let me tell u kanu is wiser than most of the politicians in Nigeria, he adopted the style he used which I believe is the best style because he critically studied Nigeria system and he realized that she is not develop and not near development. U can not compare British and Nigeria they are two different countries entirely, british is mega develop and Nigeria is under developed, British follows rule of law while Nigeria tramples on rule of law. I still repeat the style Kanu took is the best because the only language Nigeria government understand is anything VIOLENCE. It is either they give us BIAFRA peacefully or we take it by force and if they push us to take it by force, then anything that will serve as iimpediment to the restoration of BIAFRA will be completely destroyed 1966 is different from 2016 it is about fifty years difference time has changed and knowledge has increased...... IT IS BIAFRA OR DEATH if they fail to give us BIAFRA Somalia will be a paradise compare to what Nigeria will look like, marriage is not by FORCE.

foladara777:

The UK is not a union just like Nigeria. The UK is not a federal state. And d repudiation of secession is a feature of all regular federal constitution so d constitution is not rubbish

The repudiation of seccession is not a feature of all federal states whatever that means to you. A federal system does not in any way confer invincibility on a nation state. If Nigeria didn't want seccession, then she shouldn't have agreed to it at the UN.

Not good

And i voted yesterday in the referendum here in the UK and my vote was to LEAVE! the European Union. I work in construction and there's to many Eastern European workers here which are keeping wages down. Some of them can't even speak a word of english. They can also work harder for less pay than their British counterparts. I thought the leave campaign was going to leave yesterday but thank God we won!

That is why they are called the ZOO .

They don't behave as humans do.
They are so uncivilized and obsolete in actions.
That's why Trump suggested we get recolonised.

I agree Nigeria and many other African countries should be recolonized

Yes to your questions, Boris Johnson and Nick farage called David Cameron names; they called UK politicians and bankers 'losers' before and after the vote.
Yes there was a lot of hot words exchanged prior to the elections just like Hillary and Trump insulting themselves yesterday on CNN; thats the beauty of democracy, if you dont want insults dont contest for political office.

Stop getting high fever over Biafra issue, even in America they still have secessionist groups and they are not shot at by the US marines. Find out about Texas secession movements in America

You LIED by saying the Biafran agitators were silent all through GEJs tenure when you can use google to see their clashes and arrest of their members during GEJ tenure, they even attempted to seize Radio Nigeria Enugu under the BZM movement which led to a clash and loss of lives

I'm free! Thanks mods.

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?

Thank you jare!.

Britain did not civilize any colony, cause it was not in their interest to do so.

Their policy was mass mis-education and indoctrination which, unfortunately, we misconstrue as civilization and education.

In order to enslave people, the last thing you want to do is educate them.

Why would you want to educate someone you want to control?. You cannot educate someone you want to control, cause if you give him education he will free himself!.

What they did was get people speak English in British colonies. The French got her own colonies speak French. Spanish got her colonies speak Spanish, e.t.c.

Why?................You may ask.

Because, in order to control somebody you must first teach him/her to speak your language. In order to fool someone you must be able to communicate him first. You cannot fool somebody unless he/she can understand what you say. Get it?.

So, from the 1920's an educated African was an African who could speak English in British former colonies; like Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, e.t.c.

Similarly, an educated African in Cameroon, Togo, Benin republic, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Senegal, e.t.c were those who were schooled to speak French.

But, speaking English or French doesn't equate to education!. Otherwise, are we saying Russians are not educated?.

Are we saying Japanese are not educated?.

Are we saying Chinese are not educated?.

Are we saying Koreans are not educated?.
E.t.c.

If we were colonized by China, we would have been speaking Chineese here. If we were colonized by Russia, we would have been speaking Russian here in Africa!.

Real education hasn't began in Africa, until we uproot that brainwashing model of education we inherited and replace it with education in our various native languages. Only then shall we naturally come back to being Africans and start thinking like human beings (sorry) capable of holding such peaceful referendum in Africa, without shedding blood, without war.

Fashola said recently the world war security apparatus was outdated and wasn't working anymore. And I'm here to tell you the most outdated thing in Africa is what we call ''education'', but which is not education at all. What we call education is a foolery!. A scam!!.

Education in Africa is fake!. And it's still serving the purpose of those who installed it. This is why we CANNOT develop. This is why we cannot get any where.

We will never be free or prosper in Africa until we take the bull by the horn like Britain and re-invent education in Africa. Eduaction that will serve our own purpose. I'm talking about education based on African philosophy, point of view, history, culture,

indeed, ''intellectual slavery is the worst legacy of colonialism''.

this is what civilization is all about. no name calling, no shooting, just organize a referendum and the people will decide where they wanna be, The Nigerian government should emulate what this people have just done. we are not animals, we are human and deserve to be treated as such.
WISHING THE UK best of luck.

u guys pushed them into building radio stations. U killed their people before they threatened to live. Worst have been done to them than what uk experienced. What have u done to the confab. Agreements? Biafra agitator have been strong even before jonathan came on board, and u dont even have right to decide for them when to be angry or seek for pull out or not. People seek for pull out most time when things are not favourable to them, so your idea doesnt make sense.

attackgat:
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

Don't mind them,they are waiting for America to tell them to do it.

now you have a point...when people here of persons agitating for a secession they term such persons as enemy of the nigerian state...in civilized nations people vote to either stay together or stay independent...nigeria needs to learn this...

CandyDiamond:
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.

You have elected politicians in the state and federal level. Force them to accept the Biafran issue if you are serious. If they don't listen, force them to resign and conduct fresh elections, putting those that support your calls for Biafra. They will make noise in the house, thus forcing the govt to act on this issue.

Oh rwily?? Tell me one truly federal state where itz components can decide to leave at any point. Or u think countries like US don't have citizens dat support secession from d country??
I rwily don't get d analogy to UN, but whatever they agreed to at d UN doesn't supercede or have precedence over the Nigerian CONSTITUTION

Nigeria needs to take a cue from Britains exit from the UK..i feel its high time we hold a referendum on issues of NATIONAL INTEREST!!!
