Rossikki:


You do not have a right to any referendum. Why hasn't the US allowed a referendum there? It has over 30 secessionist groups. Google it! If every country with secessionist groups calls a referendum, no country would exist on this earth.

And if you DID want a referendum, you get your senators to TABLE A MOTION for it at the National Assembly. Not getting riffraff like Kanu to be insulting the country and terrorising people.

nwabobo:


Why did you not tell the Yoruba leaders asking for restructuring to do so through the National assembly? Why not also tell the Niger Delta leaders asking for resource control to do same through the National assembly. My friend, the National Assembly has been rigged to favour a particular part of the country and we won't fall for that. A SOVEREIGN NATIONAL CONFERENCE is the minimum acceptable at this point. As for Kanu, you do not have the right to decide for a group who they choose to follow or how they decide to agitate as long as they do so within the law.

Rossikki:


Of course everyone should go through the National Assembly. How has it been rigged? Explain.

nwabobo:


The creation of states and constituencies under the military leadership all from the North. Take for instance Laos vs Kano.

Laos and kano were both equal states having similar population (officially). Now, Lagos us still one state, having just 20 LGAs while Kano has been split into 2 states ie Kano and Jigawa with Kano having 44 LGAS and Jigawa 27.

Rawani:
The headline is highly misleading and heavily mischievous.



The above is pretty obvious, the law that is in operation where IPOB carries out its terrorist activities is Nigerian Law so nobody expected that U.S. law would view them as terrorists, until they begin attacking U.S. Military convoys and innocent people in America and with stones, bottles and sticks, setting up bonfires on American public roads, burning down American police stations, disarming American soldiers at checkpoints and blocking American roads while searching for innocent people to attack inside buses, and threatening to burn the USA down and bring back the head of President Trump, like Kanu and IPOB did recently in Abia before they were declared terrorists.

IPOB are bloody terrorists under Nigerian Law, and under any law where they perform their terrorist activities.

Rossikki:


Are Lagos people complaining, or demanding secession based on that? Drive on your own lane please. Mr Defender of Lagos.

subtlemee:
How can they be in US and see IPOB as being or not being a terrorist group? I don't blame them anyway he's not affecting them yet, maybe the federal government should allow it become a menace like boko haram so CNN can have news about Nigeria that's when they'll now SEE

That's how all organisations starts...PEACEFUL till it gets out of hand

Rawani:


... to force the dialogue and all you have ended up doing is waste the lives of your brothers and sisters. The only legitimate forum for dialogue is the National Assembly through your representatives, if you try to armtwist the government into dialogue then be assured that you will only end up shedding more blood.

As per the bolded, I'm sure you were not blind as to read the official U.S. position regarding One Nigeria.

puremind1:

Fool, how is Nigeria govt messing up? You Ojukwus will never learn anything because of your stupidity and arrogance. This law labelling ipob as terrorist group has nothing to do with US law because their activities do not constitute any threats to their interests. Are the liepod member not saying again that Trump is supporting them? So,those that were killed by NA during Trump inauguration died in vain. Can you see the reasons why other tribes will not show any sympathy if NA kill you in droves because your secessionist leaders are not interested in you being alive as long as financial reasons is top of their agenda. Ojukwu led 2m flat heads to their Golgotha about 50 years ago and this albino has led hundreds (still counting) to their early graves. One thing is common to both: fleeing when their presence are needed most. We warned severally, but you fools were calling us coward Afonja. Can you see which tribe is more cowardly? With these chest beatings,arrogance and greed, no tribe can trust you. Even, the SS you are forcing yourselves on are watching you with their eyes open. You fools were saying SW is not part South because of SS/SE governors' forum you ojukwus masterminded to force SS together with you. Your whole economy is less than Ogun and Oyo states together. We can not envy you because you only envy those above you, not beneath. SW constitutes 52% of nation's economy.How can we envy a parasitic region making less than 7% of Nigeria's economy second only to war ravaged NE. Where Nnamdiot Cownu now? Is he dead or on the run? This is a misery that time will unravel!!!

The next time u wanna invite ur coterie of brainless goons, tell them to sign their death warrant in the execution section of politics on NL.


Back to the issues. do u wanna compare the US intelligence in crime fighting and prevention with yours? Do u think its by approaching a court replete with compromised judges to declare a group of people terrorists?

CIADeepCover2:

Mr man, just shut up, you're not making any sense! What of the innocent people killed by Buhari and his terrorist army in Anambra, Umuahia and so on? Were you blind then? So you didn't see the massacre of peaceful people in Anambra that assembled for a protest by the criminal Nigerian army? Didn't you see people shot dead in Aba? You think Ipob attacked police station just for nothing? Hypocrisy and hatred are the banes of this useless country.

Rawani:


Like I said, the US treats the BH as terrorists because they are recognised as terrorists under Nigerian law, just like IPOB.

Their stand was regarding IPOB and US Law.

If IPOB takes up arms and tries to militarily overwhelm Nigeria, the US will also assist the country in crushing the eastern terrorists. The US Military doesn't know the difference between "aboki" and "nyamiri "

Again, English language is really simple to understand once emotions are extricated.

MyMouth:
The US never saw boko haram as a terrorist organization at one time, so its not a new thing. As far as Nigeria which is a sovereign nation is concern, ipob is a terrorist organization, simple!

Yyeske:
Nigeria and the US are sovereign countries and make their laws independent of each other. Nigeria recognises IPOB to be a terrorist group, the US is free to agree or refuse.

Rawani:
The headline is highly misleading and heavily mischievous.

IPOB are bloody terrorists under Nigerian Law, and under any law where they perform their terrorist activities.

Nigeria is a sovereign state

So US can't dictate to us

Newmanluckyman:
...has Boko Haram attacked US before? So why did the US declared them a terrorist group?.

LordAdam16:


Except that the War on Terrorism is an International affair. Not a strictly Nigerian affair.

So if the US is selling weapons to Nigeria to fight terrorist organizations, she expects these organizations are in the Global Terrorism Database which is the major internationally-acclaimed database of terrorist organizations -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Terrorism_Database.

It was after Oritsejafor addressed U.S. Congress that the U.S. designated Boko Haram a terrorist organization -- https://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/07/designate-boko-haram-terrorist-group-oritsejafor-tells-us-congress/. And it was after BH was designated by the Americans that Nigeria designated them a terrorist organization.

In the last one week, France, UK, and the US have rebuffed the FG's irrational proscription of IPOB. These are THREE of the FIVE UNSC permanent members. If Nigeria hopes to join the UNSC like we've been agitating for, the last thing you want to do is stick a middle-finger at the same countries that'd have to agree to admit us.

Nigeria is a commonwealth nation, so Russia and China wouldn't make any move contrary to what the Allieds have agreed on. Nigeria is still the UK's puppy like Cameroon is France's puppy. So, your trash about sovereignty is a facade.

IPOB is registered in the US, have a radio station in the UK, and run some of their cash through France. Yet you kill their members, declare them a terrorist organization, and think the big 3 would play along. The North is a butterfly that thinks itself a bird.
