Listen brother KANU , I understand the frustration. I wish things can work that way. But everything that happens in the world has a precedent and there is something called international law. That's where the elites and intelligentsia are important for the struggle.

John Garange was elite of the South Sudan he was instrumental to the peace talk that led to independence of South Sudan. After he died in a plane crash, Silva Kiir, his lieutenant, who was also another elite, took over and led the country to Independence.

Our people should be very careful so that they do not shoot themselves in the foot. Things do not happen by emotions. The international law does not recognize emotions.

First and foremost Nigeria is an independent sovereign state, a member state of the UN, AU, Commonwealth of Nations and Ecowas. She has diplomatic relations with over 100 countries in the world. Her sovereignty is respected and protected under the UN law, it means that until she decides by herself to partitioned herself, no country in the world will recognize any part of Nigeria that forced itself out of Nigeria.

A country is a country when it is recognized by other countries as a sovereign state recognized by the UN and member states.

I give you an example of what will happen when the elite of Igboland do not engage Nigeria in discussions about self determination. By the way the 1999 constitution does not have any provisions for self determination of any part of the federation like the US or U.K. Constitution, for a debate or discussion to happen about letting a part to go the constitution which is the supreme law of the law must be amended or changed.

This is what will happen if you fail to act within the international law framework. You will become like entities such as Northern Cyprus which broke away from the south in 1974 with the support of Turkish Army; which after 42 years, no country in the world other than Turkey recognized.

The north Cyprus does not do business with any country in the world, they do not have international passport recognized by any country in the world, their citizens are given Turkish citizenship so that they can travel out. Their money is not recognized by world bank and they cannot trade with the outside world. But they have been existing on their own for 42 years now. Currently they are agitating for reunification with the South which is called Greek Cyprus.

This is a precedent to look at. Somaliland was colonized by Britain while Somalia was colonized by Italy. After independence, Somaliland willingly join their Somali brothers to become the republic of Somalia. When civil war broke out in Somalia about 25 years ago, Somaliland which was very peaceful and functioning, withdrew from the Somalia republic.

25 years after, even though Somalia is a failed state and Somaliland has been having peaceful democratic elections and functioning like a state, no country in the would recognized Somaliland as a country. Her citizens are still called Somali and can only travel outside with Republic of Somalia passport.

Somaliland is living on international aid because it cannot do business with any country in the world. Their money cannot exchange for international currencies because it's not recognized by world bank and IMF. This is a precedent in our own Africa.

The two breakaway regions of Georgia known as South Ossetia and Abkhazia are recognized only by Russia more than 10 years after they broke away from Republic of Georgia with Russian support. Till this day only Russia recognized them as a sovereign entity. No one does business with them. In order for them to travel out they took Russian citizenship and obtain Russian passports. But by international law they are still Georgians.

Ukraine conflict is still on till this day. The East broke out of the Ukraine with the help of Russia military. The war is still on. Even though for 3 years the Ukrainian government is not in control of those regions. No country in the

Another lamentation from anti-biafran buffoons. IPOB will not shift grounds, Arewa if you shift ground God punish you.

laudate:


Goodness, gracious me!! How I wish I could dash you 1,000 likes for this post. It is one of the most interesting pieces, I have read in a long time. May God increase the wisdom He has deposited in your life!

Getting a country is one thing, acquiring international recognition for such a new nation, is another. Dem think say na beans?

[b]Nobody is anti-Biafra here. And there are no lamentations. We just want you to be well-equipped with the facts, so that you can quickly get your own merry homeland. The sooner you get it, the better for the rest of us.

You chaps are fond of blaming others, when things do not work out the way you planned. We just want to ensure that this time around, you will not be able to shift the blame in the direction of other ethnic groups, by claiming they did not warn you of the loopholes, well ahead of time. The same way African leaders like Habib Ben Ali Bourguiba of Tunisia, Nnamdi Azikiwe of Nigeria and even the late Adeyinka Adebayo of the old Western region warned Ojukwu in the past, and he refused to listen. Everyone saw the result of his decision. Nobody should wake up tomorrow & say we did not do our duty in notifying you.

So, we have spotted the minefields on your path. And have brought it to your attention. Anything that happens afterwards, is solely your own responsibility. Daalu zi![/s]

Are you tired of shouting 'kanu and beans' with your ewedu-stained lips? Oh you want to 'join body' and vote in the Biafran referendum wey no concern you? Did the welsh vote in the scot referendum? Answer the question and looking for nylon-bag for your storage of shiit.

laudate:


You were the one caught at a downtown buka begging for ewedu soup, have you forgotten? And you (as well as your brothers) have been begging, praying and fasting that the Nigerian authorities should give you chaps permission to conduct a referendum, not so? As long as they remain oblivious to your request, or withhold their permission, you are stuck here. Even the constitution does not allow referendum. You should actually be thinking out of the box, and strategising on how to get the state authorities to agree to your request for a referendum, instead of clamouring for a bag to store your shiit!

SirVintageCock:
What's your obsession with a people you HATE so much?
Why can't you chart your own course and leave Biafrans alone?
Someone asked you a vital question up there but you will evade it as if it is no there. Answer it and stop sitting on the damn fence.

Godwin2016:
I still want my Biafra whether recognised under international law or not.

Reality is a b!tch!!

By virtue of our constitution secession is illegal. In the US on the authority of the case of Texas versus White the Supreme Court of the United ruled that seccession was illegal even though the court did not rule out the possibility of a state seceding with the consent of other States. It was this case that Azikiwe relied on when he argued against Awolowo's proposal for seccession to be included in our constitution at the Constitutional Conference in 1954 https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/my-role-in-the-civil-war-by-zik/119382.html

Currently they are at least 111 secessionist movements scattered all over Europe with 17 in Spain alone.

But you see laudate back home here what concerns me in all of this is this: What are the things that make such calls appealing. Let us lift the veil and penetrate the depths to find underlying and predisposing factors. What is your view about the current state of Nigeria? Are we to continue this way? Is the status quo one that is cast in stone for all time?
