You are wrong man except you want to continue courting for more deaths from the Nigerian Army.
Referendum is alien to the Nigerian constituted law and unless it is amended it can not be achieved.

Yes bro, the word referendum can be used in regards to the amendment of the constitution. Personally I am not a pro Biafra or IPOB individual but my stance is this - The FG had better be wise and take up the call for restructuring, failure to do that would result in the call for a national referendum and while it might not be constitutional, the international law and UN charter supports the call for self determination, Nigeria being a part of the international community and a part of the UN would have no choice but to adhere to the laws, failure to do so could result in the freezing of Nigeria's assets, countless embargoes (mind you our primary source of income is through exporting crude, we can't risk an embargo), excommunication, charges of war crimes the list is endless. Lets not even go there, I would like to believe that there are at least one or two people who still reason with their brain in the government so hopefully reason would prevail and the FG would play the ONLY CARD THEY HAVE NOW which is to agree to a national dialogue on restructuring.

If they create a Kurd state then it may well lead to the big war that was prophesied between Muslims and the disbelievers and of course Muslims shall come out victorious

The truth remains that there can never be peaceful secession anywhere including US. A secession comes with price of millions of deaths and permanent crisis. Everybody knows this but those who lost election in 2015 want all of us to start killing each other because of bitterness of the loss and blockage of their free money.

Even the great ,visionary, articulate, brilliant, dynamic and ever respected Ojuku can not actualise Biafra.

Personally I detest the idea of secession but look around you in Nigeria, see the injustice, see how some take advantage of the filthy write up we call a constitution. I am all for restructuring but if the FG refuses to do that, then man's nature for survival and improvement would just have to kick in!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-determination

Kai proper aboki man, see stupidity being exhibited at its finest. The international law (read here : http://www.un.org/en/sections/un-charter/chapter-i/index.html) states that every people or nation are ENTITLED to self determination (something the parasites would tag as secession), the international law is supreme in all ramifications to that of the laws of nations / countries, Nigeria is part of the international community / UN. So unless Nigeria decides to stupidly pull out of the UN, then I am afraid Nigeria has to adhere to these laws, so the Nigerian constitution cannot over ride the international law of self determination

Lesson one : served!

Lesson two: Cooking, look below

Secondly, look up the word referendum - there isn't a single definition of referendum






In the Nigerian context, we can rightly say that referendum doesn't apply to constitutional amendment, why? because we use the term "constitutional amendment" in Nigeria whenever we want to amend the constitution! You and I both know what a referendum means in the Nigerian context, a referendum also means the same to the Catalans and numerous nations. Me and you no dey go ansarudden or almajiri school, Eagle and vulture no be the same lol. The proposal defines the referendum, In Nigeria we all know what the term "national referendum" stands for

Oya come and go and ask your Almajiri "intellectuals" for more propaganda fire power lol



Are you therefore saying that UN does not know its own laws as regards the Kurdish self determination that is being led by the recognised Kurdish leadership unlike a rudderless IPOB who no one vested or reposed representative authority on?

What has happened to the much touted supremacy of international law when its custodians are the very same people posing an obstacle to the self determination of the Kurds?

When will UN sanction Spain and her courts for declaring the Catalonian self determination as ilegal? Are the Spanish courts unaware of how useless their national constitution is in comparison to international law as it concerns self determination?

Are you therefore saying every nation that wants to break into country villages are free to do so in Europe or Asia or Americas? Then why the resistance from all countries around the world in allowing every little village that feels it has the right to self determination from doing so?

Are you therefore saying the Deputy Senate President, who is Igbo and has already detailed the futility of IPOB's separatist ambitions and the irrelevance of international self determination law in applying to many cases around the world where national constitutions have made such illegal and futile, is speaking from a position of ignorance?

Now that you have educated your own ignorant self that a referendum is a tool in form of a vote used to adopt a new law like I have already spelt out before, what do you mean that we all know what "national referendum" means?

Is it to adopt the submission of the national conference of Obasanjo regime or that of the Jonathan regime?

Is it to remove states or create more states or return to regional governments?

Is it to abandon presidential democracy and return to parliamentary democracy?

What exactly is your own national referendum because I know I have heard demands for referendum on many national topics so many times before IPOB had access to a radio station?

If you say referendum does not equate to constitutional amendment in Nigeria, why then are you asking for referendum when your own objective is a vote for secession that is not allowed by the constitution? Or why are you defeating your own argument?

Shouldn't the national assembly be tasked by those who want secession, to amend the constitution to allow for secession?

I repeat, what is this aimless referendum you keep harping on when it is just a tool and not the objective?Unfortunately for you, it is a tool to an objective that is constitutionally non-existent.

I hope you can answer the straight questions I have posed without ambiguity.

Do you have a comprehension problem or what? The article you posted was never in any way insinuating that the Uk, the US were against the referendum in the Kurdish region of Iraq. They were simply concerned about the dangers of having a referendum now will pose against the fight on "Daesh". So, your unintelligent attempt in trying to draw comparisons with the situation in Nigeria is poor and out of order! The Uk and the rest only asked the Kurds to postpone it because of the security challenges there.

If there's gonna be a referendum, the Nigerian parliament is the only body that can bring that about.

The earlier these guys wake up to the realities of international diplomacy and politics, the better for them.

Thank you my brother, they kept making noise about Catalonia referendum which is not even insulting, violent full of threat,with whole lots of unlawful activities e.g. BSS and Flags. e.t.c. Let them go and read what is going on about the same referendum today. SMH.

The UN sighted that a Kurds independence or problems that might come out from it might affect the war on isis.

The Kurds have the gunz already, They are also battle ready because they have been battle hardened from their fight against isis for 3 years now

They will go ahead with their referendum, Freedom is priceless.

Re: UN, UK Distance Self From Kurdistan Referendum And Secession by Eastfield1: 3:37pm On Sep 22, 2017
vary unfortunate that the UN has no say on this.
the Kurds have everything it takes to become a country of it own and no one can stand on their way.
the Kurdish army single handedly defeated the ISIS and the Iragi army are so afraid of them.
the UN distanced themselves because the know that allowing Kurd to have their own Country will create instability in the sorounding Regions & Country because Iran, Turkey, and Syrea will Neva allow it as there are Large Chunk of Kurdish land & people scattered All over this 4 Countries(Iraq,Syrea,Turkey & Iran)
this four countries are scared of Creation of another Mini ISREAL in their mist.
the new Country(Kurdistan) in Iraq, will therefore serve as A OPERATING BASE for Kurdish militants Operating in the other countries.
(Turkey,Iran,& Syria)
because the Kurdish people/militants in Syria,Iran,& Turkey are also fight to Secede from them.
So it is the War & Instability that The New Country will Create that the UN is Taking into Consideration.
But the New Country will Surely be Created by Crook or Hook cos they are backed by US & Isreal who are so much interested in Creating Instability in the region becos when they are busy fighting themselves, the Us & Isreal will have some peace at home
