It has been long biafrans want their own sovereign state but it looks as if Nigeria governance is slow and have a problem of listening. Is it until it result to another blood sheed or civil war part 2 that the people voice will be heard?.

It is simple the Fg doesn't have power to grant any referendum according to the constitution. The word referendum is only used in our constitution when addressing the issues of recalling a legislature. So ipob even in zoo their is order why not behave well like the animals you all have become and allow that word be inserted through the appropriate channel.

You won't understand. Its like a rebellious child asking the father to disown him. The loving father of course cannot grant that kind of request, no matter how badly he thinks the father is treating him. Nigeria is one, and to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done.

But the FG has the power to withdraw military and police personnel from SS/SE and to stop drilling oil & gas from these regions

Very simple answer......because the word referendum is alien to our laws. Pick up the constitution and tell me where u see the word referendum except recall of representatives. Instead, tell ur representative in Abuja to enact such laws that will enable it for disintegration. If u think aso rock will grant ur desire then u are simply deceiving urself even if ibo man is the president.
By the way, the only bloodshed that can ever happen as regards any Biafra nonsense will only occur in iboland. All other lands are immune to such.

my question is , " who and who wrote that constitution "? I hope not Abubakar Abdulsalam 1999 constitution you're referring to because I'm still wondering why military constitution is still valid in democratic regim.

That is left for the FG to decide within the four corners of the country and not the decision of some inconsequential souls. Those in FG currently got there by most votes.

These ignoramus don't even know that FG can't grant what is not in our laws. Instead of them to speak to their representatives in Abuja to do the needful and enable their cause, they are shouting aimlessly upandan. Very gullible souls.

How do these two things relate in your mind? The federal government does have these powers because they both fall under exclusive legislative list. Police and military under control of executive.

Listen if you want government to do referendum it would need to be added to constitution. The big issue is getting any politician to push for it. If you want to do it unilaterally you risk war. UN backed referendum a lititle protection but they probably won't agree due sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Move towards unilateral motion. Conduct it at state level to show you guys mean business. Again hard to do since state governor have expressed their fealty over and over to FG. Look at models like Catalonia and try an follow it. They actually have political party expressing their interest.

If war is what it leads to, no problem. U are finished. The first defeat will be a child's play.
Fg can't give what she doesn't have. All what she can give Av to be within the ambits of the law. U Av been advised on what to do by speaking to ur representatives in Abuja to enable such. That's the way forward, and not this constant ediocy u lot are currently exhibiting.

That's the problem with y lot. U want everything to be given to u on a platter of gold. U want to sit in ur house and want others to come give u presidency, states, money, referendum etc those reaching out within ur folds like okorocha, u call them names.
Get this to ur skull, in the NASS, there is something u call LOBBY. U need to lobby and discuss. It's not a house of my way or nothing. Is a house of majority have its way and minority his say. If ur representative can do such, boot them out and vote in those that can.
By the way, it haven't even been raised so how do u know NASS won't?

Your missing the point I laid out child. The point of State referendum is to show support for the cause. It's obvious that it is a non-binding thing. The message will be sent to NASS since every action even symbolic is never ignored by them. The Catalonia referendum was non binding as well but served to show to world they want out.

IPOB knows what to do by their brilliant plan to boycott elections. If you guys boycott election it doesn't matter. The plan only serves to force Obiono to negotiating table. Other than that elections hold weather it's 10 or 10,000 people vote since there's no minimum turnout required.

Anyway I'm done educating you. Let Kanu lead you in desert. You guys can keep electing representative who don't care about your concerns.
