President Independence Speech : A Hate Speech And A War Threat. by Kazim88: 4:02pm On Oct 01, 2017
Excerpt


Recent calls on re-structuring, quite proper in a legitimate debate, has let in highly irresponsible groups to call for dismemberment of the country. We can not and we will not allow such advocacy.

As a young Army Officer, I took part from the beginning to the end in our tragic civil war costing about 2m lives, resulting in fearful destruction and untold suffering. Those who are agitating for a re-run were not born by 1967 and have no idea of the horrendous consequences of the civil conflict which we went through.

I am very disappointed that responsible leaders of these communities do not warn their hot-headed youths what the country went through. Those who were there should tell those who were not there, the consequences of such folly.


I use to believe that wisdom comes with age but I was wrong

Buhari came out to threaten and intimidate his so called citizen with war, to force them to drop their inalienable right to self-determination

Nigeria Civil War was Genocide event in which all participants should be seriously ashamed of..

Even Britain that were the sole benefactor of the war have since realise their error.

The Civil War still remain an event which Nigeria is yet to heal from... Using it to buttress your hate and dissent is nothing but political and moral folly.

The war this time would be fierce, Not with bullets. It would be longer until Victory is won.

Buhari would soon realise... Pen is powerful than bullet.

And this war "re-run" of bullet he and his Co Night walkers are clamouring for would be fought definitely at right time....

You people never tire?

If for nothing, don't you tire of the self inflicted misery?

What right do you keep yapping about that your elected representatives have not deemed fit to request for?

A right that is not constitutional and that is equally berated by UN, US, EU, UK, France and Germany within their own sovereign territories and continent?

Mister man, shut up or pursue the constitutional change that you want using the globally recognised parliamentary channels.

I wish you best of luck securing political victory in the legislature.

As for regretting the civil war self destruction, Ojukwu fed his family well but failed to secure food for his already failed nation.

The foolish one are actually hailing the old ones utterances.

Taking about war and rerun now is not wise.

No matter the call for Biafra... War or threat of war is not the answer.

If the oblige him... Do Buhari know how the war would play out.. Nobody knows.

If the riddicule his call and refuse to oblige him... Would he commit genocide.

This is speech is even worse than 97% and 5%.

Wrong. Kanu's agitations led to the recalling for the forgotten restructuring.

No one talked of restructuring after it was swept under the carpet during GEJ's tenure, until Kanu was illegally arrested.

Stop talking nonsense, you Buhari. Talking about war when self determination groups are talking about referendum.

The UK uded referendum in 2014 for Scotland. The same UK used referendum last year to leave the EU.

It beats my imagination how the quest for freedom which is our inalienable right, is tantamount to a call for war. It is people who do not want us to be free that equate struggle for freedom with war. So Nigeria actually declared war on Britain when our people were clamouring for independence and eventually got it 57 years ago?

You are wrong sir. Freedom sometimes comes with a price. It is usually darkest before the dawn. Read history books. Read the Biblical account of Pharoah, Egypt, Moses and Israel's eventual freedom. It was not easy at all. As for the elected representatives you mentioned, they are in the minority compared to other regions no thanks to state allocation per geopolitical zone, so they cannot get what they want through popular voting. As such, most of them are content with getting their own personal share of the proverbial national cake. We cannot be intimidated by the threats, blackmail, subjugation, arrest and killing of our people . Go back to history. Most oppressive regimes end up ruling to their own hurt and ending miserably. Eventually the oppressed get liberated. Remember Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, Myanmar Ghaddafi, Idi Amin, Sani Abacha etc. We want to have our own country. The call for peaceful referendum and independence is not a call for war and unity is not by force. We want Biafra. Shikena!

Since my people and yours hate each other so much, does it make sense to continue spending resources to stay by force with people who mutually hate each other? All Igbo's and others are saying is let us go peacefully. It is you who hate us yet do not want us to go that are calling for trouble and war perhaps because you have the advantage of the armed forces for now. Hmmmmm! Don't support evil so that.........

Stop talking nonsense, you Buhari. Talking about war when self determination groups are talking about referendum.

The UK uded referendum in 2014 for Scotland. The same UK used referendum last year to leave the EU.

Is there a law that says UK cannot leave a mere regional association?

Does US not routinely back out of accords?

Did Nigeria not recently withdrew its membership from some global associations?

As for Scotland, was it not the Scottish political leadership that won the right to have a referendum to exit the UK, which their own citizens rejected at the vote?

So why is a mere pressure group now turned terrorist organization, demanding for referendum?

Who are they and who do they lawfully and democratically represent according to our constitution?

If it took regional governments in Europe to be demanding for secession by referendum legally in Scotland, and illegally in Catalonia and Kurdish Iraq, what makes you think a mere pressure group is up to the task in Nigeria where the region under discussion has an existing recognised democratic and constitutional leadership and representation?

I always ask you this question hoping you can appreciate rational submissions, and for once accept that IPOB had no business with Nigeria, but with the regional leadership of SouthEast, who would then engage Nigeria politically at the national assembly (which is the channel even alluded to by Buhari in his broadcast tody) since there is no existing constitutional provision for secession.

That you and others like you, who are obviously educated and conversant with world politics, would refuse to own up to certain universal truths, is what truly amazes me. Do you think Kanu will just keep shouting "give me a date", and the country will hurriedly honour his unknown and unrecognised majesty with a referendum date as a birthday gift?

You keep on alluding to UN's right to self determination, but do not know how ambiguous that is.

Is that same UN blind to the Catalonian and Kurdish right to self determination? Hasn't that same UN heard about a certain Palestine whose right to their own country is resisted by an Isreal that did not exist as at 1940?
If that rule was as simple as you think it is, then every local government in Nigeria has the right to self determination.

Every Congressional district in the USA have the right to self determination, irrespective of their republic's constitution? Every of the 96 political departments of France have a right to self determination, irrespective of their republic's constitution?

Can the world or UN handle such a fractured world if their self determination rights law was so applicable with every family that wants to form its own country?
