Who need Nigeria constitution before there will be referendum.Did Sudan have constitution for referendum before the world and UN forced them to conduct referendum on Southern Sudan? So guy wen UN or World remembe Nigeria it will be them like Sudan
You keep talking about Sudan so let me tell you the story about the country. For years, those in the Southern part of the country had been clamoring for separation because of the injustices against them and the domination from the North.

The thinking was that the solution to what was going on in Sudan was for the Southerners to be allowed to leave and form there own new country which they did. It was called South Sudan.

Now fast forward to present day and the newly formed country is in the midst of a brutal civil war. It turns out that they turned on each other along tribal lines and just like when they were still in Sudan they have turned to genocide.

This begs the question, why is it that Africans can't solve there problems amicably without resorting to violence? Why do they let their leaders divide them along ethnic lines? Why are a lot of Africans so ruled by their emotions (especially anger) and so quick to turn on each other over every single slight? Why do the people easily turn to outbursts of anger and violence when things don't go there way? Why do they look at people who are not willing to solve their problems with violence as weak or cowards? Why can't they put the past behind them instead of always bringing it up and using it to fuel more conflict? why do they like making decisions based on emotions instead of logic or reason?

One of the most important lessons I learnt on leadership is that leaders should not make decisions when they are emotional. They should take some time to calm down, cool off and make a decision based in reason and not out of anger. A good leader should be calm and level headed. You would think that some Africans would have learnt this but instead they keep making the same emotionally fueled decisions and following leaders who make decisions our of bitterness and revenge instead of logic and strategy.

Finally, why can't we learn to accept there differences and learn to live side by side with each other? We are in the 21st century for goodness sakes and we are still fighting each other. Are the racists right that the only thing we are good at his violence and disease after all that's what they see when they watch stuff about Africa. It seems that everyone is going forward except for us?

The constitution of Nigeria you refer to is part of the reasons why secessionist Biafra wants to leave Nigeria.

The constitution was made by northern Nigeria through its soldiers who supervised its drafting.

The constitution was drafted to legitimize the fraudulent 36 states and Abuja political structure created by northern Nigeria through its soldiers.

It legitimizes twenty New states and hundreds of local government councils in once one region north, but a meagre seventeen states and few local government councils in the once two regions south.

Through this political structure, even a goat from the north MUST win a presidential election against any most qualified candidate from the south.
Southern political class therefore remain "siddon de look up to the north" due to the present political structure.

One way or another, Biafra must go from Nigeria.

Dude, Nigeria and Sudan are two different situations. Sudan was in the middle of a genocide at the time and the U.N helped broker the negotiations.

As far as I am concerned, nothing like that is going on in Nigeria so I doubt if the UN would want to get involved in what's going on in Nigeria

It's mainly the UK that stands against Biafra separation from Nigeria.

But fortunately, the UK separated from the European Union through a referendum a short while ago.

No Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani forces can stop Biafra separating from failed Nigeria.

Before long, a referendum on Biafra MUST hold in the east. It's inevitable.
But Biafra would be a land locked nation in Nigeria

First of all, you called her a "stupid old white woman" and you said that's not racist? If that's not racist then what is?

Either way sha, thats not the issue, the issue is how do you know that the woman does not at least suspect what he is up to and just decides to follow through either way because they both have what each other wants. She probably wants companionship and some help while he needs papers.

People like you have been singing the song of "strenght in our diversity" for 102 years since Lord Lugard came to Africa to illegally declare us all Nigerians. So far, your "stenght in diversity" has led to waves of genocide starting in 1945, 1953, 1966 and culminated in a civil war that claimed 3 million lives. You are still singing the same song as your economy goes down the drain, tribalism and nepotism is on the rise, daily massacres by herdsmem and Boko Haram.

U r even lucky u hv good colleagues around u, some r not dat fortunate. U c where customers r putting u under pressure, ur head teller or hop who's supposed to ease dat pressure, will add more either by undermining ur effort in front of customers, or telling u to attend to their personal person who is actually last on d queue...
