God1blessBiafra:
You just contradict yourself.



As one of the reasons Biafra should not have freedom,You claim if we had have Biafra that we will still be killing yourself.


Here you admit even in the one Nigeria, Nigerians still killing themselves grin grin



You see how senseless you sound all in the name of showing hatred for Biafra?
You just want to insult so you blind yourself to what you read.

If there is Biafra, Nigerians and Biafrans will still be killing each other unless Biafra moves far away to Rwanda, I said.

As for my supposed hatred for Igbos (since Biafra does not even exist for me to hate it), I'm certain the evidence speaks for itself.

If I wanted Biafra, everything I do in Nigeria would be to make Nigeria fail, from collecting bribes to look the other way to selling cars with no engines to Nigerians and even not paying my rent to my Lagos landlord. That's how I'd justify my Biafra.

Don't you mind me. Just the other day some of my Igbos brothers were killed in Enugu in Nigeria and some idiot mentioned suspected Fulani, as if we don't have enough Enuguans killing each other in Enugu.

Those inherited traumas

Those sharp brown bullets we see on grounds after the rain as well little children

Those burnt millitary vehicles that have lasted for a generations along rode sides

Bullets holes in houses older than our young memories

Quality paper currency notes with rising snun in front of a palm tree

Stories that would completely in ired your senses

The Remnants of attitudes of nigeria's securities against young people who weren't born in that age

These are the memorials
All these seem to not remind some, so let me post myself rising in the sun.

And for your post, many coups meet the definition of a revolution.
Many is not all. And I will say, some. In my own opinion, no coup in Nigeria has revolutionised much. Revolutions are after all judged by their eventual outcomes and not just because people revolted.

The French Revolution, which did have a coup, is required learning in Western liberal education. Perhaps study it so you understand why.

Finally, the governors have spoken.

I for one know that my State of Osun can not afford to pay 60k a month minimum wage since we barely manage 30k a month. But that just means we should develop more, which requires us to elect better leaders and that's not happening any time soon unless we sack some.

Just one.

And how many have the north and south west held compared to the one you mentioned. Would you say that Nigeria has been fair to the Igbos?
I do not expect Nigeria to be fair to a tribe that is asking for Nigeria to be split! I wouldn't have been Obidient if Obi had been campaigning for Biafra, and I think my own Yoruba people wanting Oduduwa nation is just a stupid excuse for some to lord it over the rest of us.

That said, there have been far more Igbo ministers in every cabinet than you are giving credit for. Igbos are not so docile to accept otherwise.

Tell me what you think Democrats should do.

You are arguing your own argument. I never said Congress can dictate how they rule, but the structure and jurisdiction.
You words were, "what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress". And that is not what I find to be true.

So, why do we care what they think over protecting the rights of vulnerable communities, like women?
We care so that we can counter them with evidence and facts as we do here everyday. But I guess you think we are ineffective because some maga noisemakers deafen you, right?

You don't acknowledge the hundreds of people who read this thread daily and don't bother to post in agreement with us. O ye of little faith!

ijebosb:
How did that change his behavior?
It doesn't have to. We the people will change his behaviour for him by not electing him.

Judge Merchan not jailing dump is a good move. In fact, I'd be surprised if Merchan jails dump on sentencing, and I'd be even more surprised if Merchan jails dump and Biden does not have him released within 24 hours because it's the smart thing to do.

When they go low I would rather we go very much higher, is the difference here.

Nigeria is nothing but a 1914 British colonial project. The British created a country and lumped us all in there without anyones consent. Even the name "Nigeria" was created in London by a white woman

Scotland has Been part of Britain for over 300 years, but Scotland was given referendum in 2013 for them to decide if they wanted to carry on with Britain, or go their way as an independent country. That is civilisation, not the "one Nigeria by force" mentality some of you have.

It is shameful for us as Africans that the white man will come from Europe to decide for us what our country will be, and give us a colonial name Nigeria, and we still running with this to this day when we should use referendum to decide our countries and names

Truly shameful

No union that is forced will ever be a happy one, and it's one of the reasons Nigeria has never worked . Unity must come from the heart, or it becomes a prison
Yeah. White man did you. Shame.

No it does not mean that! A coup is not an uprising of the common citizens of a nation.

Could you and I together look back for just the last 100 years. You point out all the good revolutions and I will point out those with negative consequences.

That would be rather pointless since you don't seem to know what a revolution is or even what can be accepted as positive or negative consequences. All the same, I present intelligent use her mind Eve revolting against the ignorant rubbish stupid Adam told her.

Not many would settle for their current oppression for fear that revolting against it would be worse for them. Some of us would rather die free people than live as slaves.

So if Igbos haven't held any strategic position since after the war, .
I am not buying this unless you want to claim a minister is not strategic enough.

President Tinubu nominated 48 candidates for ministerial positions and they have all been screened by the Senate. The five nominees from the South-East include Nkiru Onyejiocha (Abia), Uju Ohaneye (Anambra), Dave Umahi (Ebonyi), Uche Nnaji (Enugu) and Doris Uzoka (Imo).

Yes proposed igbos be given referendum to determine if they want to remain in nigeria or not
That would be illegal, and the proposer should definitely be arrested because they have no constitutional grounds for proposing holding a referendum. And that's apart from the fact that we don't need to give Igbos a referendum to know the majority would rather leave Nigeria.

Now, if a senator or rep were to propose it, that would be a different case, though I doubt it could get enough traction for a reading in either house. In fact, I doubt that person would have support in any party.

How many Igbos have ruled nigeria since after the civil war?
None. Nigeria hasn't gotten over the fear of an Igbo president proposing Biafra, unfortunately, despite my Obidience.

But see as we de suffer. One day, an Igbo person might show us they have credible solutions by first developing their Igbo state, and then we Nigerians would be begging that person to please do the same for Nigeria.

Gbadugbakun:
Those ruling us weren't they the same people who prevented the secession of Biafra? So can we say that the north doesn't want Nigeria to work according to your analogy?
Biafra is tribal to the Igbos just as Islam is religious to the North.

Both sides want to destroy the Nigeria we currently have so they can impose their desires on it, is my view. Thankfully, they will both fail.

And that is why we should have conducted a referendum a long time ago so that those who believe in Nigeria can continue, and those who do not can exit

At the end of the day, we are just people the British forced into an unholy union. We do not have to be together just because of that
A referendum does not work as you describe, "that those who believe in Nigeria can continue, and those who do not can exit". The way it works is the idea with a majority dictates what happens and everyone gets to live with it. Referendums are however not the best way to run a nation, and that's why most countries don't have them.

As for British forced you into it, so? Britain itself was forced into being a nation so nothing new there. Point is, since then we've become more integrated such that separation is like on to conjoined twins who share one heart and one kidney. You must kill one for the other to survive, and we are not that stupid (or knowledgeable or selfish) enough to try that yet.

Congress can't dictate how they rule, but they can dictate the structure of the court and it's jurisdiction outside of a few cases outlined in the constitution.
Here is a good article:

So, Congress can't dictate how they rule nor what cases they take on, just as I thought.

I so love the fact that Biden has left the Supreme Court alone and not padded it with liberals, which he might do in his second term. You already got magas lying that he weaponised the DOJ, so imagine what they'd say if he weaponised the SC, and how many Americans might believe it too.

A distressed seller will sweep the outside of their shop and hire naked people to dance outside to entice people in or at least display images of what they distressfully want to sell.

It's not even about going lower. It's using the power they have. Congress controls the contours of the Supreme Court. The only thing the Constitution requires is a Supreme Court, how it operates, it's size, what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress. How many hearings have the Democratically controlled Senate had on it? 0. They are so weak, that Leonard Leo, a private citizen can tell them to pound sand when they send hima subpoena.

If Trump loses it will be proven his path is ineffective to win a national election. But he still raised a ton of money. So, his path is effective at raising money and making yourself rich. So, being most Republicans are grifters (Ted Cruz, a US senator has a full time podcast), they care more about money and maintain power than policy and winning elections outside of their own.
The supreme court will sort itself out in due time. They can choose to drag themselves in the mud and be ridiculed and sidelined or serve justice. Their choice.

So, dump wins in the money stakes but not in policies? I can gladly live with that since their money does not pass legislation. Besides, they do illegal stuff to get that money, and the law would be on their case to help them spend it eventually, so what exactly is it that they gain in the end?

I do not accept that "Congress controls the contours of the Supreme Court .... what cases it takes, is controlled by Congress". You are going to need to educate me how Congress controls the supreme court please, so I can understand why Congress did not dictate re Roe v Wade.

Disagree. Trump has shown a new path that works and is effective.
Democrats, I'm pleased to notice, do not play who can go lower. Instead they go higher and win because they can see that if going lower doesn't work for dump it likely wouldn't work for them.

If dump loses the next election, he would have proven to me and most that his so called new path is ineffective and did not work, and my hope is that they keep going down that ineffective path that doesn't work so they can keep losing.
