Read my previous comments. Yorubas should stop defending a useless country like Nigeria. Let it split
I have never supported the goddamn nation, and I don't comment much on the issue cos I want all to go. But the moment they start insulting my tribe, my people, I always return it to them, but they will start crying how they are hated forgetting they started it first. I am Yoruba before Nigeria, and if Nigeria splits today, I will still be Yoruba. So I cannot take it when some people insult my identity.

Lols! Egbon, the only reason you see me attack yorubas is if they insult people that want to leave the country or the ones that shout "one Nigeria" all over the place. They stink me! I know that these igbos blame Yorubas for everything, this is one of the reasons i support Nigeria disintegration. They will have nobody to blame and insult anymore when they get biafra.
Let the country just split and everybody should go and answer their father's name

Bigotry won't let you see reason. The only people who can amend the constitution are lawmakers. Take your agitation to them so they can amend the constitution to support a referendum.

Perhaps you already know that your Igbo legislators have sold their loyalties for porridge. grin Your IPOB cannot achieve any rubbish referendum.
greenpasture


And when they refused, what then should IPOB do.?


You see why those of you chanting go to national assembly are political illiterates.


I repeat

IPOB is on the right track.

And he is a lawyer

Have you listened to Chief Okoi? You will wonder where he got his law degree from. The man is as dumb as a door knob.
Let us take sentiment aside, Nigeria has not successfully prosecuted any criminal since PMB came into power. Every one of the looters walked with their loot. Sarki, PEJ, Orubebe, FFK, etc. and someone somewhere is still listening to the likes of Chief Okoi. He is only there to collect his salaries and entitlements.
I am not a lawyer but if I sue in pro per and Okoi is the defending attorney, I can walk through him in a law court. That's how much I respect his legal knowledge.

The genuine course of the agitations for the restructuring of the country shall collapse due to poor thought process, greed,lack of coordination, n impossible demands, for goodness sake what is the feasibility of conducting a referendum in the nearest future, what is the feasibility if going back to 1963 constitution, is it not better to push for practically possible position like restructuring based on current state structure with a proviso on future creation of states where possible n necessary, but with more emphasis of political power n economic administrative model acceptable by all rather pursuing a restructuring geared towards radical alterations if the country that is most likely to face resistance?,if this opportunity is allowed to fail,the core north will just jeer at the rest of the country n scornfully treat others with complete contempt.

Who told you it's not possiblel? The Constitution can be amended.So the defective system Nigeria operates should continue? Everybody is just tired of this country.A revolution is at hand that will sweep these useless people holding this nation to ransome because they're benefitting from the statuquo.So don't worry,Nigeria will either divide peacefully or by force.Meanwhile this man alongside the attorney general and the EFCC have been endlessly losing high-profile anti-corruption cases because of poor legal technicalities is the one talking this poo.

Thank you Nnamdi Kalu for letting us know that 99% in this govt are goat putting on coats. Calling white black. Nigerian const. is open to amrndment. Since yhr is long over due wsit for Nnamdi Kalu he will show you guys the way forward. Octobrr1st 2017 we stand.

Dont fool yourself. The UN never intervenes in the internal affairs of sovereign nation states EXCEPT when there is a threat to world peace which means war. Can you cite any parallel example where the UN has compelled any country to hold a referendum?

Thank God most people have realised it's PDP sponsoring it. It will end with an internal Igbo vs Igbo war or general massacre of Igbos across Nigeria as PDP is gradually withdrawing their support.
I seriously pray you get massacred in the process. Deluded folks like you think you'll be spared because you're a Biafra hater. I challenge you to embark on that journey to Bauchi or Kano by September ending. We can use your case as a litmus test.

Restructuring is paradigm shift. Doing things more progressively. eg do away with national grid, structure power to regions of three or four states sell d excess to nearby states or region then mark out states or regions without established means of generating power and develop the best means to generate for them. desert state can develop theirs based on solar and wind.

agric is our comparative advantage so we can agree or design a policy which will provide funds for mechanized farming, modern silos etc with government buying over the surplus and sell it. At the same time industries for the processing of this raw materials sud be estalished. etc
Nigeria is not lacking in willing and responsible enterprenures. There is no need for dogon turanci and setting up committees. The Nigerian law as it is, is good enough to midwife change even if it is a little if we keep faith with all its provisions but we observe the law in breach.
lastly Nigeria's is problem is not really with the constitution even though it contributes alittle to dilemma but the operators are the problem

Is not by force to live together
I know the truth is a bitter pill to swallow,I thought we gave Bakassi to Cameroun some years ago?why not move to Cameroun to claim your rights,no one has ever pleaded with you to stay in Nigeria or don't you have an Ecowas passport? since you are not qualified to carry a Nigeria Passport as a biafran.

Which yeye constitution?

Can one man sit in his house and write constitution for a country with many nations?

Nigeria constitution is an illegal document. It will bow to the UN an Internatioanal Law.

For as long as Nigeria try to avoid referendum, knowing fully well the result will not be in their favour, they will continue to face international disgrace such as election boycott and many more to come.

For many years they did not only marginalise Igbo politically but also economically.

We have no deep seaport in the whole SS/SE, no International Airport, yet it is our resources they use to build Lagos and Abuja.

Now they cannot persuade the eastern electorate to vote in favour of Nigeria, so dey are coming with flimsy excuses.
How can you have a sea port in biafra when you are land logged,South South we have the Atlantic Ocean,no water for south east and LAZY man please tell me who has stopped the south south and south east from building a sea port?,you will depend on Nigeria for everything. In your imaginary biafra and Nigeria will single handedly pick your purportedly leaders for the next 100 years like what is happening between Hong Kong and China ,quite obvious you don't have a passport,I know Enugu has an international airport?Who stopped your state government from building an international standaed airport?lazy man.
