You look at the contents of this proposed Biafran constitution. You realize why no Igbo elite or political office holder would endorse Biafra.
They simply wouldn't be able to qualify to hold any political post under such a constitution. grin

NK will lead us to freedom!
1. He is a British Citizen, supported and facilitated by the British to reside in Britain and make his radio broadcast in total safety.

2. He is able to enter and leave Nigeria at will without border and Immigration Control.
3. He often reminds us in his speeches how the black man is stupid and also why the white man is clever for enslaving us.
4. To show us he does not recognize Nigeria because it was created by Britain he refuses to use a Nigerian passport, and uses his British passport instead.

5. To show us he does not recognize Nigeria because it was created by Britain he refuses to participate in Nigerian politic. All also the organization for which he appointed himself to lead, IPOB cannot for that reason become a political party.
6. Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB has not sought our mandate to find if want to secede from Nigeria or whether we want IPOB to agitate on our behalf for secession . Nnamdi told us he does not need our mandate because god appointed him to lead us to freedom .
7. NK was arrest and held in prison for treason against Nigeria and was in captivity for about a year before his lawyers managed to secure bail for him, on condition he is not be see with more than 10 people in any location. With wisdom of defiance our great leader decided to defy his bail order and started form a private army to provide us security; The Military came to his compound to arrest him but NK had been alerted and escape to Israel .
8. NK our great leader for wisdom only he could have never told us he had escaped to Israel , Even his lawyer , his relatives and friends were non the wiser. So for approximately a year we were all accusing our federal government causing his disappearance with many of fearing the government had secretly assassinated our messiah .
9. Luckily our leader finally came out of hiding just in time to instruct us not register to vote in the 2019 General Elections , after explaining that he had disappeared because he feared the government wanted to kill him, so he couldn’t indicate to them or even us his followers and relatives and lawyer that he was hiding in Israel . A short time before the elections after the registration period for voters had passed , NK told us he had secretly met with the government and has secured “certain assurances “ which now means he can recommend us to vote for PDP.
NK we hail you, oh great leader!
10.NK stated that our population is too much and he wants a two child policy for our independent nation when actualized.
Oh Nnamdi the great, we bow to your wisdom !

For example; Should Bini Indigenous People want to be part of Biafra, the indigenous of Bini will decide if they really want to join through referendum and that they are willing to abide by the laws and rules governing Biafra.

How about Oron?

Akwa Ibom has 3 major ethnic groups. In your biafra, you recognise 2 and ignored 1 and now, you are typing long sentences about a very major group in Akwaibom (I'm no even including the other minor ones). Mind you, this is a group then in the present system is being marginalised. And you are saying they are free to merge, would you do it?

Like I said, your biafra is a figment of your imagination. It will be worse than even the present Nigeria. It will never happen.
