shortgun:

The Nigerian Constitution does not contain any provisions for a referendum to be conducted for a region to secede or for the country to be divided.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. It's obvious that you don't know the history of the two countries.

Lesotho is one abysmally poor landlocked country that almost all the citizens must travel to South Africa before they can work, earn a living or become successful in life.

They have been begging South Africa for years to be part of the Republic of South Africa but South Africa doesn't want such a liability.

SoNature:
Simon Ekpa is not the problem of Nigeria.

IPOB has one demand - conduct a referendum in eastern Nigeria and find out if the people want to remain in Nigeria. That request is as simple as ABC. Since we claim that Nigeria is united, why not conduct the referendum?

IPOB has a lot of crazy followers who could be as deadly as Simon Ekpa, if not worse. If you arrest him, another leader will emerge. He will kill a lot of security operatives and the government will declare him wanted.

This is common sense...

Guy, I beg gerrout with this your nonsense fallacious hypocrisy.

They want referendum in Eastern Nigeria, yet they voted overwhelmingly more than 95% for Gringory Obi to become President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Na the poor things like you way no get anything, that are believing it will be greener on the other side of your misconstrued imagination.

DatNiggaDaz:
This hatred ,jealousy, tribalism will consume you. Did they not vote 95% overwhelmingly for Obasanjo?

Did they not vote 95% overwhelmingly for yaradua?

Did they not vote 95% overwhelmingly for our brother from the Niger Delta Gej ?

They refused your darling daddy Buhari who you supported & today blaming for the hopelessness of Tinubu?

They should not vote those they believe are more competent than the fraudulent certificateless misfit Tinubu because of your useless tribalistic opinion.

You voted ön the basis of a emilokan tribalism who have turned to be a worthless failure more than Buhari & you are here gnashing and crying over peopke who refused to support a would be failure.

I think you should be the one to keep that möuth shut

We have seen " the Bright side of your own misconstrued imagination under your god & saviour Tinubulation

Gerrout Jobless Miscreant.

blacknp:
No society is an absolute, in every society they must have foolish confused people.

Having a minute composure of 10 foolish people, is different from proudly agitating for an imaginary referendum.

If real igbos wanted a referendum, they would not not have participated in any election, like ipob demanded for.

The mad ipob Miscreants said no election, the real ndigbos said to hell with you Confused riffraff Miscreants, hence they came out & voted overwhelmingly 95% for Gringory Obi.

Na President of Nigeria dey hungry you, Peter Obi is living proof, stop deceiving yourself with that nonsense Biafra referendum.

Paraman:
You shouldn't be telling me this because I know. That's the reason why am asking the people asking for referendum to talk to their lawmakers. Only the lawmakers can make referendum be recognize by the constitution.

meolaniyi:
If what am hearing is the truth, then ther is a bigger problem for the Biafran agitators. Simon Ekpa detained in Greece by interpol

gidgiddy:


You talk like this because you are a backward Nigerian

Scotland was agitating for Scottish referendum from when a Scottish man called Gordon Brown was British Prime minister. They got that referendum with the next Prime minister after Brown

Many Eritreans still vote in Ethiopian elections despite Erithrea having gotten its referendum and left Ethiopia long time ago

The right of self determination is in no way eroded because you participated in the politics of the country you belong

shortgun:

The rigid process of constitution amendment makes it impossible for that to happen.
The Constitution only provides that an amendment may be proposed with a two-thirds majority vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives respectively and subsequently approved by a resolution of the
Houses of Assembly of not less than two-thirds of all the States of the Federation.

Where will the Igbo senators and house of rep members get the required two-third majority to propose that amendment ?
Nigeria is not divisible legally.

Lo

Under Buhari, there was a constitutional review and it lead to the decentralisation in the power sector and correctional facilities.

Your representatives have not ask for it, you're already giving an excuse. Let them ask for it first and see if the rest of the lawmakers at the federal and state level will agree to referendum in the south east or not.

FreeStuffsNG:

He is giving you a way out so you can stop wasting your time on such campaign here on Nairaland.
At best, next election, go and contest, win then use your office to make such request. As you can see, the rest of Nigeria is not bothered.
Worst case scenario, it will be another tiny Lesotho inside South Africa.

shortgun:
The Federal Government should obey multiple court orders and release Nnamdi Kanu it's that simple

shortgun:

This man.
The Review done was to move power generation from exclusive list to concurrent list, its not the same as changing the constitution completly to divide the country.
South east doesn't have the numerical strength in both houses to propose a referendum...it's a fact.
No region has the required numerical strength to push for constitutional amendments alone.
Perhaps you could push it to your senators, persuading them to give it a try, it might succeed, if you have the numbers as stipulated by the constitution.

Kloenboi:


So you are part of those that are creating this fake map of the south east of Nigeria?

FreeStuffsNG:

Smh. Who created the map of Nigeria and the geopolitical zone of the encircled 5 states that made up South East? Smh.
