The group of people that made him to utter that statement was Nnamdi KANU. That's to show that the struggle has been on which made him call for national conference. We all knew how tensions were all over the country during the election and peace came immediately the north won and blood shed was avoided. |

Why are these people afraid of allowing Igbos go ? I bet you if Yorubas wants to go today Nigerians would gladly allow them and if Hausas wants to go too I bet you Nigerians would gladly allow them. So somebody should be able to tell us why they dont want the Igbos to go |

PassingShot: If the constitution does not av anything like referendum in it,it is the smart play of the writer of the constitution and that is why pple are calling for constitution amendment,the constitution should be amended based on the realities on ground as what is the situation in 1999,is not the same as 2017. Secondly,nigeria is a signatory to the laws that bind the United Nations,African Union,and Ecowas,so as a result of that they are abide to respect such laws because it is not selective. Anything about nigeria is scam even you know the truth. Restructure,you say NO,Separation,you say NO. 1 Like |

bamite: Why do you think people are worried/scared about/of the so called 'Kaduna declaration' and the follow up anti-Igbo song in the North when the people that made the declaration can't stand up against 5,000 non-northerners? Hate is such a strong binding force for the weak and violent-prone. Once you make a group perceive the other group as an enemy, be sure to have followers. This in one of the reasons people like FFK, though intelligent, has a good number of supporters even when he does not have the moral ground to condemn anyone. All those who had led people into war or any form of violence (supprisingly had massive followership) have one thing in common; HATE. Unfortunately, our politician had succeeded in turning Nigeria into a brooding ground for hate. 1 Like |

PassingShot: I could not agree more. Nigerians are so ignorant and they hate reality with passion. Instead of chasing possibility, some people are chasing mirage. Such a huge misplacement of scarce resource - TIME. Nigeria will stand despite anything. Distractions are passing phases. 2 Likes 1 Share |

seunmsg: No the thread does not expose any hypocrisy. Forget the topic and read through the speech, you'd see that even though he said the nation's unity was non negotiable he placed emphasis on dialogue below: Jonathan said: “Even as we remain resolute in our conviction that our union is non-negotiable, we must never be afraid to embrace dialogue and strengthen the basis of this most cherished union. A strong nation is not that which shies away from those difficult questions of its existence, but that which confronts such questions, and together provides answers to them in a way that guarantees fairness, justice and equity for all stakeholders. “My call for the National Conference in this first year of our second century is to provide the platform to confront our challenges. I am confident that we shall rise from this conference with renewed courage and confidence to march through the next century and beyond, to overcome all obstacles on the path to the fulfillment of our globally acknowledged potential for greatness.” Stressing that nation-building is not only for great leaders and elites, he said: “All Nigerians must be involved in this national endeavour. From the threads of our regional, ethnic and religious diversities we must continuously weave a vibrant collage of values that strengthen the Nigerian spirit. It's different from a blatant threatening speech from a man who has done almost everything in the evil book to mentally and psychologically crush people who see things differently from him. Buhari is simply shying away from the problem of our diversity instead of find a way to unite sparing factions. When Buhari threatened the peace of the nation after loosing in 2011, GEJ didn't arrest him cos he understood that doing that would further destroy the little peace in the country after the elections. Buhari did the opposite with Nnamdi Kanu and the result is staring us in the face |

Don't quote Jonathan out of context same way u guys did with "stealing is not corruption". Jonathan made this statement with respect to the National Conference he conveyed in 2014. Just thought I should point this out. |

PassingShot:Trash trash n trash . For ur info a constitution cannot n will never supercede the fundamental human right to make a choice for one to be in a marriage or unity . Every entity has a right to seek for seccesion when ever they so please,irrespective of What is written or not written in the constitution. Cos they came together First before creating a constitution. they could as well decide to separate without refering to the constitution. The law was made for man and not man for the Law_ JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH . The greatest teacher of all times . |

linusbnn: Nigeria is not the only country in the world whose constitution left out referendum, even the united states FG can not give anybody referendum, same for about 76 countries in the world including iraq, the baffling part is that you think it is right for an !d!0t, a British citizen, a nonentity on Exile in the UK who has not paid tax in this country to ask us to review our constitution to suit his stup!d!ty? come on!! are we that dumb? 3 Likes 1 Share |

caracas: The constitution is supreme. It contains your rights. Every time there is a military coup, the first thing the coup plotters do is to suspend the constitution (which automatically suspends your rights). While every region has the freedom to ask for anything they like, they cannot manipulate the constitution to get it. No one is above the law (represented by the constitution). If you want to secede, you have to first pressurize the NASS into having a constitutional amendment where modifications can be made to existing laws or perhaps adding new clauses to the constitution. In the case of Igbos, all they need is an inclusion of referendum in the constitution. Once it is included, they can now start negotiating. As at present, all Nnamdi and IPOB are doing is just making noise and exercising their rights to make demands. It is all a waste of time. 1 Like 1 Share |
