Though not provided for in cfrn99 the right to self determination cannot be denied any people group in Nigeria who desire same since Nigeria is a signatory to the UN Charter that provides for it. However it must be pursued in a manner civil to the extent it would attract int. sympathy where Nigeria says no. Ndigbo politicians must be involved for the push to be credible.

Not much to study there sir. It's not rocket science.
They are able to organize a referendum because their constitution gives them that right.

It's not so much about the hate speech sir. No reasonable person will condone such utterances.

But even if hate speech was not involved where is it provided in the constitution that a section of this nation is entitled to self determination and that this right will be subject to the outcome of a referendum vote??

My point is that even though Bagdad does not want the Kurds to leave, they allowed the referendum nonetheless because there is a provision for that in their constitution. And the Kurds spoke through their votes loud and clear.

A constitution that doesnt recognize the right to self determination is a repressive constitution. And this is evidenced in the deliberate exclusion of a the right to conduct a referendum.

You can't keep hiding under hate speech to declare every group seeking self determination as terrorists.

Supposing the yorubas take up a similar struggle albeit peacefully, will Nigeria allow them go through a referendum?? [/b]

Please get some education beyond the Nigerian grade. Self-determination is not codified in any country's constitution however it is an inalienable right of individuals to enjoy self-determination. The same UN that ascertained the cesspit called Nigeria should be recognized as independent country also had a resolution for self-determination which Nigeria acknowledged.

Ken saro wiwa and the ogoni 9 would have love to read your submission up here. Alas they were murdered using thesame constitution in use today.

Abacha declared and convicted them of treasonable felony.... Same thing Buhari is declaring Kanu today.

If memory serves me right, Ken Saro Wiwa did not engage in hate speech or did he?

And No..... In a sane democratic society, Ndigbo politicians do not need to be involved for a referendum vote to hold. They are less than 0.1% of the south east population.
Power belongs to the people and not the leader. That is how it should be so that selfish leaders who have been bought and paid for will not keep holding their own people down.

Vegetable is plying IPOB's scrip perfectly. Every move he makes against IPOB is more of a gain to IPOB. I pity vegetable in coming weeks.

And you who have education beyond "Nigerian grade" is it the UN that instructed Iraq to organize a referendum or was it organized because it is in their constitutional right to do so?

You all keep shouting UN resolution for self determination but you failed to realize that the UN cannot compel any nation to enforce or respect that right.

Myanmar is a classic example. If your UN was that powerful why has it not enforced the right of rohingya Muslims to freedom of worship without persecution from government?

The constitution of each county takes precedence any day any time.

If Nigeria is not afraid why not include the referendum clause in the constitution like other countries??

Please study how the Kurds set about exercising their right to self determination! See how much of hate-speech, race superiority items and appropriation of territorial boundaries of other ethnic nationalities are in it. #spreadpeacenothatred

I hope you know that the Kurds actually had armed groups fighting for them. The PKK are real armed groups who engaged in a lot of killings and terrorist activities. IPOB has not engaged in armed struggle against Nigeria and yet it is tagged a terrorist group. You can't force a people into a marriage they are not interested in. Kanu or no Kanu, IPOB or No IPOB, Biafra is in the heart of every Igbo man and we will not stop until we get there. It's just a matter of time

Dedetwo:


Are you okay? Self-determination cannot be confused with freedom of warship. In many stances where the process of self-determination has spiraled into armed conflict, UN had intervened hence UN Peace Keeping Force. And in most cases resulted in the realization of an independent country.
