Canada granted Quebec a referendum not once but twice in 1980 and 1995 in both instances they chose to remain part of Canada. I mean just take a look at Canada. A world class nation with excellent infrastructure, excellent educational system, security and universal healthcare. Who wouldn't want to be part of such a nation? There was also a Scottish referendum 3yrs ago and the Scottish decide to remain part of Britain.
Canada and the UK had a secession clause for any block that chose to go in their parent constitution and had a legally clear rules for its requirement for it to be triggered.
Spain does not have!it only recognises that the central govt has the power to grant a regional status.

That man-made Islamic Nigerian constitution means little to the freedom loving people of Biafra. We abide by the will of the Most High and self determination he bestowed to us upon our births.
Go get your Christian or Jewish Nigerian constitution and have the Biafra sooner

Spot on.

Nigerian Army, please no rubber bullets.

Spot on you said? but you didn't ask him if the Spanish army was unleashed on the people. If they had unleashed the army on the people like Nigeria did, you would have seen different reactions from the people.

Because I don’t care.

I just want military and police in Nigeria to carry live ammo.

They too deserve to go home to their family safely at the end of their shift.

Catalonia has a degree of autonomy already but a national court has ruled against this referendum, Nigeria doesn't even have anything called referendum in its constitution but IPOB terrorists insist they must have it their own way.
If Spain, an advanced EU country could do this, I wonder why IPOB terrorists are angry how Nigeria is treating them the way they did and still doing.

If a majority of people oppose any law then it has to be a bad law.

The Catalans want a referendum and reject Madrid's laws. And riot police attempting to prevent any vote will only make the situation worse. I suspect this will seriously damage any trust the rest of Spain might have had for Rajoy the spanish prime minister.

i can see rubber bullets not live ammunition as obtained here in nigeria..

nigeria is really a jungle.
only live bullet can tame those animal in the southeast brother,am nt bias bt am just stating the truth.

I'm ain't a Fan of Politics Section, and hate commenting on any Post from the Section, but I think I'm gonna contribute on this One.

I know there is always tribal Brawl on this Section, and no way you can convince the waring Tribes to see light in the Darkness, but notwithstanding I won't be intimidated to read and move on.

We are mixing things up on this Matter, and being too sentimental with our respective Views on this Post. We ain't seeing the Lessons, rather looking for an Opportunity to win Likes and Shares.

Spain rejected the Secession hands down. They ain't ready to discuss or give a Chance for the Catalans to have their Independence. The Lesson here is; No Country in the World would willingly allow a Part to secede in this modern Epoch.

Police are firing Rubber Bullets not live Bullets which doesn't amaze me because; Spain is a developed Country, an European Nation, and finally the Secessionists ain't threatening by carrying dangerous Weapons.

The Lesson here is; the Catalans ain't stop 'n' search Vehicles to identify the Spaniards simply to maim or injure them mercilessly. None of their Leaders is ridiculing the King or the Prime Minister of the Country also.

They ain't toeing the Path of Sudan, a third World Country like ours, hence if they eventually succeeded, they won't become another South Sudan in Europe. The Lesson here is; chest beating, threatening won't give you what you want in this modern Era, thus War/Violence ain't the best Option to secede from a Country.

Palestinians used Violence to no avail, but they are being recognized at the UN presently because they've accepted to dialogue and be diplomatic with the Agitation.

The catalonians are currently voting. Barcelona footballer, Pique just had his vote. Other footballers have come out to criticize the Spanish government for using police to maltreat voters.
If majority of Catalonians vote "yes", they will declare a seperate Republic on Tuesday night.
Unity is not by force. Catalans have their unique culture and language.

ofcourse they did,when you try to stop somebody from carrying out a proposed plan in a democratic dispensation is called opression.the only thing i notice is that,the riot police are observing the use of proportionate force just like the nigeria army had been professional in using proportionate force for ipob member that are weilding all dangerous arm they could laid their hands upon during the operation python dance exercise.

Do u know what u re saying? Why justify the barbaric and animalistic way d military handled IPOB agitators cos of your blind hatred for igbos?
What law are u talking about when the referendum was in itself a violation of the law if not police wud not ve been ordered to disrupt it.
In Germany when there was protests this year in July protesters attacked police and injured many yet no deaths occured, no python dance or crocodile smile.
Look at d links below and see if protesters obeyed d law and acted much more better than IPOB agitators and yet not a single case of protester killed.

Sometimes i just hate it when people just open their mouth and spew rubish as fact,did i hear you say they didnt attack the spanish police??,well if you must know,one of the cars of the guarder civil was siezed and destroyed during the week and the officials beaten and chaced away during the week but still they shot at nobody eventhough they were well armed,so next time you want to defend your nigerian army for the rubish they did please try at least to do your home work very well.

This is how a crowd should be handled in a civilized society, it's not here where police will use live bullets, even on young students who are merely protesting.
