Secession Is Treason And Punishable By Death In America. by JEWELofHELL: 6:13pm On Jul 06, 2021 |
Earlier today, tweeps witnessed a mild drama on Twitter following a tweet by a Biafran netizen/tweep, @asksasi1, that secession isn't treason. According to him: Treason is trying to overthrow a govt. Secessionist are not trying to overthrow a govt. They are saying they don't belong to the govt. They want der own. It is a call for negotiation of the union. However, his opinion was immediately vanquished by other tweeps of different nationalities. According to @the_davidatta, Food and fitness guru turned emergency lawyer to win twitter debate.... Lol. For @ronikade, Nigeria constitution does not support it. Can a state secede? In 2006, Justice Antonin Scalia said no. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisgeidner/faced-with-a-trump-presidency-could-a-state-actually-secede 2 Likes 1 Share

The presidency should also tell us the meaning of self determination, because what i always hear from those guys is self determination and not secession. And their call for self determination shouldn't have warrant your show of shame in igboho's house on Thursday. 12 Likes |

1. The USA is a highly developed, civilised and rich country where everybody has an equal opportunity to hustle and survive. 2. The USA does not have to face Islamic terrorism on its own soul. 3. The USA practice cattle ranching , they don’t have terrorist herdsmen roaming around with cattle while killing, maiming and raping 4. The USA fought a brutal war with the British for its independence , it is a free country 5. The USA does not have 250 different ethnic groups 6. In the USA you have freedom of speech, expression and religion Stop comparing the US to the shit hole . 13 Likes |

We should stop comparing apples and oranges. Which of the territories of the USA would want to secede. A Land where justice and fairness thrives. Every state in America has its own economy, independent from Washington (FG). The GDP of California alone is bigger than the entire African continent and they don't run that state with oil. If we adopt this model where every state or region spends what we earn, who who want to secede? This fraudulent approach of sharing oil money and cheating and marginalizing one set of people will everly lead to some folks clamoring to leave the union. Even Spain isn't run as badly as Nigeria is run and Catalonia which controls their own regional economy still want to leave, how much more Nigeria. If rednecks of America decide to be milking Texans(which are mostly Latinos) oil money and be using it to fund themselves, you think the people of Texas won't want to form their own country or move and rejoin their kins in Mexico. Thunder go fire anybody who will say its a treasonable offence in Nigeria. 13 Likes |

I just laugh at the stupidity of Ipob when they cry for secession. There's no government on earth (not even your beloved western nations) that can support a secession in their own country. It's the same as cutting off a part of your own territory and ceding it to another. Even if that land is not fertile or rich in resources, a government will naturally do everything possible to keep it. It's not about fear of Igbos or other silly, childish theories. While quoting me, please don't forget to tell me the region or tribe that destroyed the fairest federal system in Nigeria and attempted to turn it into a unitary state 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Kagd10: You are just ranting. The word "if" implies that we have no way to be sure. But if you look at their history, northern America once went to war with the South to prevent them from seceding so yes, USA would still fight to keep all territories. Human rights, freedom, democracy, etc all go to the dustbin when national interest is involved (and this applies to every nation in the world) . However, I don't expect an Ipob member to know this. 1 Like |

NigeriaNawa: I think we should compare America to Nigeria, especially when we consider how America got from zoo that it used to be to what it is today. Or don't you know once America used to be a lawless country, worse than Nigeria even? It was after all known as the Wild Wild West where they drew guns and shot at one another. In comparing, you'd see how they evolved from zoo to "highly developed, civilised and rich country where everybody has an equal opportunity", and then we might learn to do what they did instead of expecting to reap what we have not sown. 3 Likes 1 Share

The way some people reason is very embarrassing. A post here is saying that in the United States, secession is treason and some folks here are asking why any group would want to secede in the first place in the US given that the country is developed. The point is: even if the US was not developed, secession would still be a treasonable offence. That particular law wasn't made because the US is developed. It was made to keep the country together and promote a united and mutual front. In Nigeria, there's no clause for secession. And secession is treason. The best way to renegotiate being part of Nigeria constitutionally, is by amendment of the Constitution. 2 Likes |
