If the military did not intervene and the secession clause was there, the country would have broken up long ago

seanfer:
Who opposed the inclusion of secession in our constitution? NNAMDI AZIKIWE. Without him opposing it, we won't be where we are today and the civil war pf 1967 would have been avoidable.

You guys are missing the point. That constitution, no matter what it contained or could have contained was thrown out so that it would have mattered if it contained secession clause.

Ok, it contained resource control for the regions. Are we doing resource control today?

BlowYourMind:
If zik was wise and had foresight, he would have opposed the removal of secession, but he is blind to the future, he want to be premier in the south west.

As at the time Ojukwu was seceding, the constitution had been abrogated by the military and decrees were being used

JAMO84:
So as at the time Ojukwu was trying to remove Biafra from Nigeria, he was commiting treason and actually deserved to be shot dead at bar Beach.


Azikwe made sure Nigeria is indivisible, but his children are crying all over social media today, telling ordinary citizens like me to let them go, as if I used rope to tie them.

Whats the relationship btw Binance and Sam Friedman?

RisenJoe:
I used to defend these Binance guys b4, but when I made a deeper research i realised that its almost like mmm ponzi scheme and Sam friedman is a real con artist who is using investors funds to fund his girlfriend private company

What do you think foreign reserve is used for?

Secondly, how much do you think Buhari borrowed?

ozo13:
I don't agree with you totally.i will say the govt policies to a greater extent cause all the wahala we are seeing to a greater extent because we still had insecurity in 2021/2022 and prices of things were still much better .

Secondly Nigeria wahala to me started even earlier before Buhari started base on how the foreign reserve went down by about a value of 20B dollars 2yrs before Jonathan handed over to buhari.to me I believe such a nose dive was due to pancaking of the economy by the dollars to cushion the pressure.check out the Excel graph below between February 2013 down to April/May 2015

Most people agreed on this fact that we shouldn't be in the same country so i don't understand why the force to be together.

You mentioned the politicians who are benefitting from the current system. Anytime someone mentions going through the politicians, i just know the person has no intention of seeing it to fruition.

raskymonojendor:
You can push your governors, house of assembly members, house of reps members and senators. You are right, We are not meant to be in one country.

I do not have any problem with an average Ibo man. I have them as friends in-laws, nephews, nieces e.t.c due to their large presence in the SW. But we together as part of a country nor fit work.

Tinubu is a failure! All these namings to bribe the political elites to cover his ineptitude will not work

TimeManager:
Jonathan Expressway.. Amazing!. While some people are stuck in bitterness and have refused to move on.

-Kiss the truth!

Skvll mining is what you're known for?

Levels1:
I'm disappointed in both, when do they join the league of drug addict.. we aren't known to this act, they deserve death for bringing shame to US as we are know for hard-working

I'm beginning to think that some of these bursting might be arrangee

How can they know what people are doing inside their hotel room? Are they the sellers working as undercovers or they arrange people so it appears they're working?

Name checkers association

You're not a Christian

Khyrvxjzy:
isreal will not show mercy, kill anything that needed to be killed, if dem kill your papa you go say make dem show mercy, weak christian

You're making it look like if there was no endsars, you'd have been ok to support them to go

kedeojo:
They are paying for their sins, imagine one of them chinasa burnt BRT buses during end sars, Nmandi kanu don't need pity cos we all know how he ordered total destruction of some section of the country, abi is it the senseless man that said he will call ipob to lagos. Most of you people don't condemned action your tribesmen do but when arrested you start victim mentality. What consign BRT buses with end sars that the goat set ablaze if not pure jealousy. Are igbos the only tribe in Lagos and even with properties. The end sars that led to destruction in Lagos was orchestrated by Nmandi kanu and evidence were there to see thru the video he made. They will remain there and this will serve as lesson to people like you who can also carry such nefarious attitude.

Senselessness

Jonjam269:
You want your IPOB terrorists to kidnap her?

You're looking at the wrong indices why the country is failing.

The oil revenue is low and massive food shortages due to insecurity

ozo13:
good question but also am surprised that 20billion Dollars went away like that just under 2yrs or am I lying.one sided argument isn't good else everyone will just be blaming the next person

The constitution is meant for the people not the people for the constitution.

You cannot force unity

ILoveNG:
See! In my own opinion, letting them go would have been the best thing, but the constitution of the nation doesn’t allow it. It says their is strength and beauty in our diversity. We can see that this is true about the coexistence of other tribes in the country except for just this one tribe.

patriotism demands that we believe in the constitution and that’s why we’re are not supporting secession.

You're confused

Peterobiisathie:
why no Ibo move the motion to be included in those constitutions ?

Why is secession clause not in the 1978 or 1999 constitution?

Peterobiisathie:
by another Ibo
Ironsi

That argument does not hold water because we no longer use the 1960 constitution even if there's provision for secession!.

My point is that it wouldn't have mattered because that constitution was thrownout in 1966

Peterobiisathie:
. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/10/dr-nnamdi-azikiwe-stood-strongly-against-secession-ekweremadu/amp/

I put the blame on the Arab world. They deceived Palestine and even encouraged them to attack Israel.

Is it not ignorance that would make the rat to attack the cat?

Having said that, Israel should show mercy. Palestinians have had enough retribution because of the iniquities of Hamas

Why is this security guy on balaclava like Hezbolla ?

How is it Azikiwe's fault?

Peterobiisathie:
I said we die here together thanks to Nnamdi Azikwe

Can that tribe be allowed to go peacefully?

ILoveNG:
I wouldn’t want to say we don’t like each other, however there’s a particular tribe that their ways disgust every other tribes. Just one tribe. They have insulted every other tribe in the nation and their unpatriotic nature is irritating. Just one tribe.

You're a wicked human being and you'd soon get what you deserve

helinues:
The question is has it been well with you? If yes tell us what major things you have supported on this forum that came close to reality.

Those that have been well with, they make the right decisions while those who are the opposite always get things wrong.

Oya disgrace me by providing that major things you have supported to proof it's well with you

Na table turning, I don't any expect further aggressive response

Tinubu has caused untold hardship on Nigerians for nothing.

This is so painful because he was rigged in

Omooba77:
It is just pure wickedness, increase pump price, yet subsidy is still being paid.....

That guy is a very despicable person.

UselessBuharist:
Why then are you so irritating, is it cruise for you or do you just enjoy mocking the sufferings of Nigerians.

Most times you sound stupeed here

As bad as Buhari was, if he had continued, it wouldn't have gotten to 1/3 of this.

Tinubu lacks legitimacy because he did not win. It was the search for legitimacy that made him to take rash decisions from day 1 that caused the irreversible damage

fineboynl:
All blame by this tinubulation government in power is pointing fingers to previous administration. But if we must tell ourselves the truth. The previous administration was terrible and brought Nigeria economy down within 8 years. And no matter what even if the last administration created so much problem and we are facing part of it now. It shouldn't be this bad like we are facing now.

This government met fuel at 185 and some filling station at 195-200.

Today it's 800. While diesel at 500 today it's 1300. Bag of rice at 35k today it 80k

Exchange rate at 400 today it's 1500.

One would have thought they have save alot of money from the pains they are causing the Nigeria economy and it people. But they save nothing and yet still borrowing.

Atiku and Peter obi wouldn't have end up like this.

Even If buhari were to continue as president I don't think we would find ourselves in this place.

It'll be good if we go our separate ways. We do not like each other

Peterobiisathie:
They used to call us Cowards but Sunday Igboho is moving around freely today while these bravery men are inside gulag eating watery beans

Can we agree to break this country peacefully?

I don't know why we're forcing unity, its not as if we like each other.

helinues:
What are they talking about them? That's the sincere question some of you are not interested in talking about.

Of how many tribes do we have in Nigeria? And if the excuse is about envying? Envying what precisely, show us proofs of the success they are envying

APC still playing politics instead of governance

Obaofpigs:
So because TINUBU through Wike name road after Jonathan, the thread is abandoned?

Why can't Agbado come around and explain why a 'CORTUPT' Jonathan according to them has a road named after him?

I ask, is Jonathan now a saint and no more JONADAFFT?

Just asking... because when the tables are turned.. e go red for Dem... E sure die.

You sat down to type this?

This is lunacy in its purest form!

7 Top Observable Characters Of Online IPOB Terrorists And Sympathizers Online

I bring you the top 7 characteristic of an an IPOT terrorist online

1. Whataboutism
2. Narcissistic Behavior
3. Covetousness
4. Projection
5. Victim Mentality
6. Ad hominem attacks or verbal abuse.
7. self-destructive behavior

1. Whataboutism is a rhetorical technique or logical fallacy that involves deflecting criticism or difficult questions by responding with a counter-accusation or a different issue altogether. It often seeks to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly addressing the initial argument.

2. Narcissistic Behavior: Narcissistic behavior is characterized by an excessive focus on oneself, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. People exhibiting narcissistic behavior often have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for excessive attention and admiration. Narcissism can exist on a spectrum, ranging from mild to severe, with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) representing the extreme end of the spectrum.

3. Covetousness is an intense desire to possess something that belongs to someone else. This term is often associated with greed and envy, where an individual not only desires what others have but may also harbor resentment towards them for having it. Covetousness can pertain to material possessions, status, relationships, or any other aspect of life.

4. Projection is a psychological defense mechanism where an individual unconsciously attributes their own unwanted thoughts, fears, feelings, or traits onto someone else. This behavior allows the person to avoid facing their own emotions or qualities by displacing them onto others. Projection can occur in various forms and contexts, often leading to misunderstandings and conflicts in relationships.

5. Victim mentality refers to a mindset in which an individual consistently perceives themselves as a victim of the negative actions of others or unfortunate circumstances. This mentality often involves a sense of powerlessness, a belief that life’s challenges are insurmountable, and a tendency to blame external factors for one’s problems

6. When someone resorts to cursing or using profanity in response to a disagreement because they cannot provide a valid argument to support their position, they may be engaging in ad hominem attacks or verbal abuse. Ad Hominem Attacks: This refers to attacking the person making the argument rather than addressing the argument itself. It's a logical fallacy where the focus shifts from the issue at hand to attacking the character, motives, or attributes of the person involved. Verbal Abuse: Using foul language, insults, or derogatory remarks to demean or belittle the other person. This behavior is aimed at intimidating or silencing the opponent rather than engaging in constructive debate.

7. Self-destructive behavior: Self-destructive behavior refers to actions that are harmful to oneself, either physically, emotionally, or mentally. These behaviors can manifest in various ways, including substance abuse, self-harm, neglect of personal well-being, and sabotaging personal and professional relationships.

Nigerians lack honest and fair people, that's why the country is falling.

Changing the standards depending on whether it's our person or not
