There is one problem with with all you wrote. The current constitution we operate, the 1999 constitution, was written by nobody

In other words, while the constitution does not provide for referendum, it has no legitimacy since it did not emanate from Nigerians

Therefore, the people are well within their rights to seek a referendum outside the constitution since the constitution its self is a fraud

BKayy:

Are you listening to your self?
Which kind of education do you people receive in Nigeria?
FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION is a fundamental human right and Referendum is a way to determine it.
Nigeria never sat on referendum and abolished it (she can't). The fact that referendum is missing in Nigerian constitution shows how incomplete and backward it is.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Educated Illiterate

mrvitalis:

They chose to but they hate a vote to do that

LordVoldermort:

Do you think UK would have allowed referendum at all if they weren't 100% sure of the outcome?

Beancounter93:


Yeah because he had a dispute with them. Has nothing to do with secession or referendum.

After all polticans get chased out of their parties all the time (His Bubu ship was chased out in a way from ANPP and ran to form CPC which contested elections for some time before it was absorbed into APC).

Feggie3:
You are a goat! You should be banned from the internet space. That should be one less of a headache.

mrvitalis:

Bros if ipob form a political party , government would just sponsor people to get part set up parallel primaries ...use court to legitimate it ...it's too easy

The pressure would be so much that Nigeria would have no option than conduct referendum

Beancounter93:


Thus writing off all the constituent assemblies from the 1970's to the mid 1990's which provided much of the source for the 1999 constituion(Infact the 1999 constitution is a rewarmed copy of the 1979 constitution which was written down by a constituent assembly that sat from 1977-8.)

And also laying the foundation for anarchy. If you want Nigeria to separate peacefully as you guys say, you better have a piece of paper backing it. It's the constitution folks.

Plus no country comes with a perfect, people writtien constituition. That's why we have amendments...and which is why we have a process for ammendments.(The USA is a good example. Their original cosntitutuion was written by a group of rich white men...with no imput from the lower classes, women or minorites...which is why those rich white men also allowed for ammendments, to deal with any imperfections in their original work )

(And I say this as someone who thinks our current constituiton needs a lot of room for improvement..especially the Sharia bit..which got into our constitutuon under a lot of protest).

Plus the UK has no constitution, YET...whern they want to hold referendum...they pass laws.

gidgiddy:


That was the 1979 constitution, long truncated by military rule. The 1999 constitution was agreed to by nobody in 1999. We have had 22 years for government to give the people a constitution generated by the people. The constitution we have now is an imposition and a fraud

EdoDefence:


Just like your father

mrvitalis:

LMAO do they have an option ? Who control the UK ? Is it not the people ? See this one u think it's Nigeria

Yorubas have no problem with igbos leaving , south south have no problem , middle belt have no problem ....it's just Fulanis who feels it means no chance to conquer the igbos land if the leave

Feggie3:
why did you use thunder to scatter my mama loose toto.

Beancounter93:


So, get into the NA, get enough votes to get that fraud constituton truncated and replaced. Grousing about it on this site would get you nowhere.Holding a big rally or chatteirng about it on Twitter will get you nowhere.

Join a party and be the change you want.

(And no,my comment does not mean I an telling you to forget about your Biafra. I regard secessionist movements in a country as a sign of a maturing democracy).

rottennaija:


And removed the secessionist clause and referendum from the constitution? Igbos right? When they were in Power and thought they would rule forever?

Beancounter93:


So based on your assertion there would have been no need for the British to pass an enabling law to have a brexit referendum

Yet they did.

N.B I did not say you cannot have your Biafra referendum if you want. I just merely stated you need a law to get there

Which means you have to take part in the political process to do so

So why throw a tantrum about that fact.? Especially since you yourself mentioned that our constitution is backward on lacking a law on secession. So, like I suggested, join the political process and get that law passed

Beancounter93:


As it stands, forming a party for secessionist moves is against the law (which is why people like Gani Adams haven't done so )

What could be done is simple

1.IPOB, Igboho and company form a National Restructuring Party. For now, keep your hand hidden. Attract the aid of the Middle Belt and the Niger Delta.

2.Win enough seats in the National Assembly and at state level

3.Move for a law allowing for a Soverign National Confrence.

4.It holds, and produces a new constituitoon allowing for secession

5.Refrendum holds on secession

Time for process...twenty years...can be reduced to ten if people are really agreesive about recrutiing.

The HAUSAS and fulani can be beaten. Obasanjo and GEJ did beat them in the past so to speak.

mrvitalis:

Win enough sits how when fulanis control inec n police ? When north have 19 states n have planted sabo everywhere ?

Beancounter93:


You guys should stop giving up easily.

mrvitalis:

LMAO

rottennaija:


You deliberately have the story in reverse. Igbo has been talking of biafra and referendum ever since have known igbos. The killing never started until Nnamdi Kanu came into the scene, inciting his followers that without sacrifices, they cannot get what they wanted.

This was when he threatened to go to Abuja and bring Buhari's head, said buhari was mad, declared they will be no elections in any part of igbo lands, formed an ESN (fully armed men and women), started attacking states infrastructure and security architecture and started killing policemen and soldiers.

Without these activities, they would have been left alone. So don't tell the story in reverse.

You say Nigeria is rotten, yet you're still frolicking on top of rottenness..
Choose a path and stick to it..
Quit deceiving yourself..

Beancounter93:


That was formed under the provisions of the old first republic constitution, which is no longer in force since the 1966 coup.

So your question is irrelevant.

(Today if you want to form a state, you have to jump several hurdles to get there.)

vanunu:


Midwest was created through a referendum.

DiagnoPolitics:


Mr Mugurudeen the fulani muslim, when you illiterate quota talk, you only decieve your m0r0nic likes.

British constitution is not even written or codified, if you argue otherwise can you show us the document that encompasses the British constitution and where 'referendum" is written therein? No need to waste time, you can't?

Yet the British have held several referendums for many centuries.

Anyway, nobody is begging for referendum anymore from the fulani animals and islamic bushmen from futa jallon. Everyone knows the language that you simian fulani apes speak--Violence. The indigenous tribes of this country that always seek to dominate will speak it to you very much soon.

The f00lanis have everything to lose in the next war they eagerly itch to fight, their grip on Illorin, and other emirates will be challenged in the next war that they have threatened everyone. It will be f00lani vs everyone else. YOU WILL LOSE LAS LAS

oyatz:


You can hold your referendum anytime, even tomorrow.

You don't need the Fulani or the Ewedugerians to conduct your referendum sir.

DiagnoPolitics:


Then, withdraw your vandalistic soldiers and other instruments of federal oppression from our region. Of course your pro-abooki muslim brain will always try to be clever by half while pretending to be objective on Biafran issues.
