Hello babies
How are you?

Mr Seun, with all due respect sir, and in as much as I believe in unity, I would describe this post as a rubbish and Illogical. It shows selfishness and insecurity.
.
Mr Nairaland owner, come up with a better reason for the pro-Biafrans to embrace a one Nigeria and drop their Biafran agenda and I will very much appreciate it.
.
Afteral, our problem is not the name Nigeria, hence the name Biafra won't solve anything. It is laughable when people think that change of name or "independence" as they call it will change their situation.
.
However, your ban threat have no logical or justifiable reasons.
.
Ban all the SE and SS Nairalanders. They will find a better way. In fact, that will even push them to find something better than Nairaland. You can even ban me as well. At least from being a southeasternER

It is your website. Do as you like.

But this is grossly limiting. If we have a society where we cannot radically debate issues on their own merits, then how can we build a great society. Listen to your reason for not entertaining secessionist debates, etc.: "You love Niger Deltans and Igbos so much...". I deduce as follows:

(I) You equally have friends from other countries that you feel this strongly about, must you be politically bound to express love. What kind of love necessarily demands being governed under a single polity

(II) If the Igbos and the Niger Deltans were particularized by you as possible secessionists sections of this country, as could be construed from your writing, and you love them, then you must love them enough to do justice to those issues that make some of them advocate secession. You could not love them and deprive some of them of talking of what they possibly could be most desirous of

(III) I am fast becoming irrevocably impressed upon that many Nigerian youths have been brutalized in the psyche by Nigeria's post war militaristic policies and propaganda which purpose was of course to elevate Nigeria to an unquestionable entity--all in the bid to guard against secessionist attempts. The youths now see Nigeria as an deity so religiously followed that it cannot be questioned. But in other climes, federal countries have secession clauses implicit in their constitution. Only recently, the unitary UK sought legitimacy by carrying out a secessionist referendum in Scotland. I advise you to read the historical development of Nigeria and how it suddenly slid into this political structuring which was never tolerated by Nigerian peoples at its founding and ask yourself: "Between the secessionist and the advocates and runners of Nigerian state the way it is, who are more immoral?" Ask yourself, "Should we be more interested in the progress of humanity--nay Africans locked in this sphere--or more interested in the non-negotiable preservation of non-working polity at all costs? If governance could not serve to create societal progress, then what's sinful about seeking alternatives to such. Is "Nairaland" in taking this step not inching towards some inadvertent attempt at internal colonialism?

The moment thesis and antithesis for any reason cease to be paired up-whether for advancement of liberal values or to draconian ends, society dies.

Seun,

Could Biafra really survive, whilst probably having the highest number of contested gubernatorial elections in the court of law?

Seun, the issue of Biafra's survival is not the crux of the matter. The crux of the matter is that any deal which one enters into and is unconditionally made to stay in it without any questioning is a bad deal. There are countries of radically diverse peoples like ours that have secessionist clauses in their constitution, yet they would not secede in the morning tomorrow. The very fact that in a Federal union, every federating entity, at least in principle has the right to secede confers mutual respect in the union. Federalism and secessionism are if fact inextricably twinned. This is because federalism does not seek an unconditional unity for uniting entities, but first seeks for the satisfaction of their aspiration and securing of their rights to self determination within the united entity--without which unity may be wished away, whereas secessionist, in the first place, seek right to self determination of a people or group of peoples in a splinter political entity. Both seek right to self determination of peoples. Nigeria is a Federal state; it was never designed to be unconditionally one--and even in the course of its historical constitutional development, this is evident. The inseparability of Nigeria started to be touted after 1970 when the secessionist Biafra was forced back in and the military was used to police Nigeria's unity to date while taking measures not just to hammer home a psychology of subservience to the Nigerian state, but political actions to kill ethnic identity--one of such political actions was state arbitrary and militaristic state creation. The trend of unconditional oneness for Nigeria as midwifed and maintained by military highhandedness and a mortgaging constitution is undoubtedly the reason why the country hardly develops any deep critic to it that could even assure its redemption. The sentimental creed of one Nigeria continues to make the country decay as these sentimentalists in the majority limit the scope of inquest in to the Nigerian state.
