That is why we call this a DEMOCRACY. If you are not happy with the govt's performance, you VOTE them out in the next elections. You don't say because one leader is not doing what you like, then you will secede and break up the country. It is irresponsible and stupid, and shows a lack of respect for democratic processes. Buhari has the constitutional right to elect his entire village elders to his cabinet if he so chooses. If you don't like that law, then get your senators to pass a motion against it. That is how you operate in a democracy. Not this primitive attempt to force everyone to do your bidding regardless of the rule of law.

I tell you one thing, stop twisting facts or you get your facts right. What happens to federal character? What Buhari is doing is leading Nigeria without constitution.

Before the army came to attack them have they done that.
Will you beat a child and tell the child not to cry.
Its only a tree that remains where it is when they say they will cut it down.
The army is the real terrorist here. They invaded a peaceful people who did not do anything wrong except for the sake of self determination.
How can You start torturing and killing innocent people who did not commit any crime and the people retaliate and you come back to tag them terrorists in order to justify ur injustice towards them.
And You are here claiming that the bloody army are right.
Something must be wrong with you


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.

OK, NIGERIA HAS DECLARED THEM TERRORISTS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?

Is the US coming to attack us? Is the UK coming to invade us?

RUBBISH.

Watch how things play out.

IPOB has a case in court (Yes, a so-called terrorist organization filed a case and it will be heard). The Senate would come out with their position this week. The Old Guard--OBJ, Tinubu, Tofa... are already calling for dialog. Watch and learn how international politics is played. Not forming local champion.

Which court? Listen up dude. If you try to challenge Nigerian sovereignty, or her territorial integrity, she will CRUSH you the same way she CRUSHED you in 1969. The UK and the US will not do JACK SHIIT, just as they couldn't the last time, and even supported Nigeria with weapons. What, you think they have now changed their minds and like Biafra? Keep fooling yourself. This was the same way they encouraged Ojukwu, only to abandon him when Nigeria roared.

And Russia still signed the UNSC resolutions against NK.

Putin is looking for relevance. And after schooling Obama on the art of statesmanship, he wants to do same to Trump. Unfortunately for him, Trump ain't Obama. Russia would not accept a nuclear NK. They want to remain the dominant communist power, a resolve that China is testing. Adding NK to the mix is a no-no.

NK does not remotely have the best cyber hackers. Russia, China, Iran, Israel, US, UK are all ahead of NK.

The US and the Israelis can hack any bank they want to hack in the world. They don't have to, but they have the capability. Why not you go on Twitter and direct a threat at the POTUS, post references to any terrorist org in the GTD and see if you wouldn't disappear before the end of the week.

You are listening to one f*t p*g who can't even pay his soldiers--NK soldiers are routinely told by their superiors to steal from farmers. The US is only considering Seoul. Else they'd have turned Pyongyang to Baghdad.

Ask yourself, would Putin tolerate the stupid rhetorics coming from Kim if it were directed at Russia? Putin would have turned the entire NK to a desert and keep Kim as his s*x slave.

Read about the Korean War. The US f*cked NK before, they'd do it again. Their mistake is that they didn't fully support the ROC's claim to the Chinese mainland and let the communists take the mainland. A communist NK would never have existed with a democratic China sitting nearby.

If it wasn't for the UK, Nigeria would never have won the '67 war. Gowon didn't want to go to war. He hesitated. It was the British that implored him to go ahead that they had his back.

And as for the US, this was the Secretary of State Rusk's comment, "America is not in a position to take action as Nigeria is an area under British influence." Nixon personally supported Biafra. He was a Republican as the current POTUS.

The UK of 1967 is not the UK of 2017. They would not want another 3-yr+ war with millions more casualties with Brexit on their hands, daily news coverage and awareness, and with a substantial white-supremacist population that detest muslims killing christians. They'd split the country.

So as I said you guys are a butterfly thinking yourselves a bird. Puppets with the peeps holding the strings in Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. Nigeria cannot afford to fight another civil war.

I think you are the kid here. Leadership responsibility, morality and godliness aside, US has the power - and I mean absolute power - to shut down the WORLD within 24 hours without breaking a sweat. Not even Russia will stand a chance at restraint let alone the spoilt kid in North Korea.

See, if you knew how much of this world is powered by the US, and how much of the future is under their control, you'd be beseeching God every day and night to bless America and keep her sane.

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. Your problem is that your movement is led by illiterates who do not understand or appreciate democratic principles and processes. And if you did get your new country, they would destroy in under 5 years because of their primitive, arbitrary approach to legality.

They just might, if Nigeria continues to brutalize and kill members of IPOB. The US likes to project herself as the moral conscience of the international community and the custodian of human rights.

Trust me they won't. It's never to do with conscience or morality, only oil.
