Dear Prof,

As a learned fellow,being a professor of law,I am very sure you will agree with the majority of Nigerians clamouring for restructuring of this country that it is the most enduring panacea to myriad of problems facing the country.

However,to dismay of most nigerians,you act indifferent to the calls.We wouldn't have been so perplexed If not for the fact that we've always known you to atypical of majority of Nigerian politicians and also by the virtue of the fact that you are a pastor.Having ruled out the fact that being a typical Nigerian politicians like OBJ,IBB and co could be responsible for your indifference towards re-structuring,now,what is rationale behind it?.One can not but think of the fact that you fear something.

What is your fear?.Doctrine of Nigerian settled issue?.Majority of the readers of this piece may not know what doctrine of Nigerian settled issue is.Some years back,at a forum,Fmr President Ibrahim Babangids stood up and gave a speech.He said :


There is a doctrine known as the ”Doctrine of Nigeria’s Settled
Issues” and nobody should attempt to tamper with
them. Number one, I don’t want anyone of us to tamper
with anything to do with Nigerian unity. Number two,
the republican constitution is also a settled issue, more
or less. Number three, the states are the federating
units of this country and number four we are a
capitalist country. Anybody that wants to talk about this
country must make sure that he doesn’t do anything
that will disrupt these basic settled issues in our
political life. Anyone that is talking about dismembering
this country you should not listen to him. If we see
such things as ”christian south” and ”muslim north” we
should disregard it. Even if such people say it the
media should ignore it because you know it is not the
truth, so you should not even write it”- GENERAL
IBRAHIM BABANGIDA, The Daily Trust Annual Dialogue,
Abuja, 26th January 2012.


This is a view of an individual that contradict the view of 75% of people you are governing.The interest of these people should be the most paramount not that of the few individuals like IBB.


Prof,don't be hypocritical,Don't fear anybody and don't shy away from the needed.For how long will our leaders,you in particular, continue to shy away from what should be done due to their selfish interest?.I said you in particular because no president in Nigeria will taste the power accorded to the president by our pseudo-federal constitution will like to restructure this country. .Nigeria,currently is at the precipice of doom.You want the country to be doomed before doing the needful?.


Be different from other politicians,Prove that you are a man of God.Do these:

1.Return Nigeria to a true federal state or confederation state.

2.Conduct a referendum for SS Igbo and NC yorubas.If they Will like to join their kit and kin in SE and SW respectively,allow them to do that.

Do those 2 things,and you will forever be remembered in good book of Nigerian history.

A concerned Nigerian.

OP, abeg I get question.

The other day, ipob said biafla or death.

After Arewa quit notice, it changed to referendum.

When Arewa wrote to the ag president calling for referendum, the song changed to restructuring/true federalism/confederation.

My question is; what the fvck is wrong with Igbos?

LionDeLeo:
Biafra

Referendum

Restructuring

All at the same time, what the fvck is wrong with Igbos.

Anyway, whichever option taken, Igbos must leave.

The idea is not bad to me.


They actually prefer one!,if Nigeria is not restructured,the clamour will continue.The only solution to every forms of Agitation is re-structuring into true federal state!

I also belief Osinbajo is disappointing so many people.He is not acting differently from all other politicians and presidents we've known.

It's not his call to make..

You should have asked GEJ to restructure Nigeria but no.. The enjoyment was cool cos he was surrounded by igbos. I'm not against restructuring but why didn't you guys make hay under GEJ who had full presidential powers.

I just taya for Igbos walahi.

When they were in power, there was no need for restructuring, or at best just on pages of newspapers.

They are out of power, suddenly they become aggressive apostles of restructuring.

Yeye.

By Mazi Onyebuchi Eze

As Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the Supreme Command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu (De Great) has waited on Nigeria government for too long in an expectation to announce date for Biafra referendum and coupled with the recent ultimatum of vacation of Arewa republic issued against Biafrans by Coalition of Arewa youths, IPOB should to that effect have no other option than to fix and announce to the world the date for Biafra referendum.



This my opinion is neccessary for consideration by IPOB Highest Command at this period of time because judging by the body language of Nigeria government, especially its ministry of interior which kept mute after the ultimatum was given to Biafrans residing in the North, Nigeria government has indirectly implied that Biafrans are on their own already.



By this, if Biafrans are still waiting for Nigeria government to fix and announce a date for Biafra referendum, IPOB may be wasting their time and lingering on a mirage that can never happen till eternity, after all Nigeria government did not fix May 30th Sit at Home for IPOB but it was complied with and was successful.

As it has become obvious that Nigeria government is buying more time for herself due to IPOB continuous waiting for her to announce date for Biafra referendum, it is time for IPOB Highest Command to stop waiting on a mirage but take the bull by the horn by fixing and announcing a date for Biafra referendum by itself to the world.

According to the international protocols and relevant conventions guiding procedures for conduct of any referendum which I consulted and researched before coming up with this opinion, an Indigenous govt or Customary govt of Indigenous people such as IPOB Directorate which already has the total command and loyalty of the people has right to organize a referendum to test the political desire of its people, if the colonial kept occupational govt like Nigeria refused to organize such referendum when called upon to do so.

It is in history that there was Customary govt structure of confederacies in Biafraland headed by Kings and local Chiefs, but were destroyed completely before 1904 by British govt and established colonial administration in Biafraland. It is that same govt which Lord Lugard and his team of invaders destroyed in 1904 that IPOB Directorate of State headed by Mazi Chika Edoziem had restored.

know that this Indigenous govt of the people known as IPOB Directorate has waited on the colonial occupational Nigeria govt to announce date for the said referendum, so that these indigenous people of Biafra will chose via referendum whether to remain in colonial arrangement or decide to return the sovereignty of their territory lost to the colonnial invaders in 1904 Southern Protectorate arrangement.

It is upon these corresponding realities, that I hereby call on IPOB Directorate of State to apply the above mentioned protocol empowering Indigenous govt of the people by announcing the date of its choice for Biafra referendum since Nigeria occupational government has refused to do that since years ago of notice.



It is important to understand that it was this right exercisable by Indigenous govt that empowered Catalonia Self-Determination govt to announce Catalonia referendum for October 1, 2017 without Spain.

If IPOB Highest Command fix the date of the referendum, it will announce it to the world, gazette it to relevant Biafra Indigenous govt gazettes and begin to notify without delay all relevant world powers and international organizations. After this IPOB will begin to train adhoc staff, polling workers, returning officers and other personnels required for the referendum and at same time prepare voting centers in Biafraland.


IPOB will also at the time gather both local &international observers and journalists to come and witness Biafra referendum as it happen in Biafraland.
