The status quo is not better and can never be better.
During the time of Uwazurike, he was intimidated hence his compromise, including the Cash and luxury they have him that's why he had to back out and started singing another song.
Nnamdi KANU is under an oath and can never be like Uwazurike who fought for his selfish interest.

TBH.. I'm also against the call for Nigeria break up..

But what options has the North left when they have already dashed the hope of restructuring?

Nigeria cannot afford to continue operating on the status quo...

It's not working and has no hope of working in the next 100yrs.

So what next should we do?

So you are at mercy of the North? when you were the same person that gave the power to the north through your tactlessness?
Where was you APGA when opposition parties formed APC or you don't know power comes through political processes?
Since you have lost out of that equation, do you think that Biafra stup!dity is the smartest thing to do under the circumstances, insulting the four cardinal points of Nigerian stakeholders with impunity and brazen braggadocio?

Fold our hands and continue praying for God to come down?

Someone has to do something he's convinced would work..

Kanu is doing what he's convinced would work.

You can lead the struggle for restructuring if that's what you believe in and we'd queue up behind u the moment u start attracting the attention of the government like Kanu has done..

Mind you I want a restructured Nigeria, be there's a popular saying that "if you want to get to the moon, u project the stars so that if u miss the Stars you'll land on the moon"..

I'm supporting Biafra, knowing fully well that restructuring isn't a bad option if we finally land there.

But again someone has to do something.

It's not enough to hind behind the keyboards of ur computer or ur handset and be shouting "restructuring"

Cyynthia:
Rigid constitution you called it ?
The law was made for man not man for law.
Since the law was made for man, amending constitution and inclusion of referendum shouldn't be a problematic issue.
Why did Nig govt refuse to have provision for referendum in their constitution ?, because the northerners are the Majority in the NASS and it would give Igbos the opportunity to break away, that's why they refused to recognise and include it in the constitution so that they will continue feeding fat on the recourses of Southerners.
But guess what ?, Nig is a member of UN that recognized the right for self determination. Violating UN law has placed Nig on a wrong direction. But two things are involved, it's either Nigeria willingly include referendum in their constitution by amending it or they would be compelled to do that by UN which Nig is member.
Failure to comply with UN comes with sanction, exclusion which I doubt if Nig would be able to withstand because it's going to be very disastrous.

Mind you, the whole world is watching what's happening, waiting for Nig to do the appropriate thing than to be forced to do that which is very shameful.

IPob today is the largest secessionist movement on earth as it stands and they have plans and direction. And they will keep embarrassing Nig govt until the needful is done. Buhari knows all these, that's why he thinks that he can stop Ipob activities with gun, but Buhari always end up getting disappointed by killing unarmed protesters thereby making the agitation more stronger
Kanu knows all these that's why he has refused to back out despite all the threats he receives from from politicians that are benefiting from stats quo in
Nig.
Election boycott in Anambra will send another message to the world that Igbos are no more interested in Nig. Why I like Ipob is because of their strategy, they know that election boycott which is a civil disobedience is a tool for secession which is also well recognized across the globe.

INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES ARE WATCHING.
I hope you are aware that Bruntai is facing charges in ICC today because of Ipob killings ?
The earlier we break up, the better.
Unity is not by force.

If you are not foolish why not start your own protest? It's only people who benefits from the current state of Nigeria that are against Nnamdi kanus approach. #theZooMustfall

Prince081:
Good news. Let us ensure equity in the sharing. Nigeria is known for sharing. The states should be be doing this and not the federal government. Vv

otil1:
Sir, 1st respect! I respect your perspective.

Now hear me.

I'm Igbo but not IPOB member.
I don't like Kanu's approach.

....but, Kanu, to me has exposed a huge farce that had been kept underneath while we Igbos were being completely foolish.

Kanu's ways has lead to the Arewa Youths giving Igbos quit notice. Withdraw or not, the damage has been done and it's for anyone who cares to learn the right lesson.

How can anyone be given quit notice in any part of a Country he claims to be citizen of?!!!!!
....And everybody, even governors and leaders are treating the matter with kid glove.

The other day, it was His Roya Majesty, Deji of Akure that told Igbos in Akure that they were not of equal standing in Akure land and recently in Bayelsa, Igbos had grovel before local youths to be able to come out of their homes. Igbos are locked in arguments about their status in Lagos with Obama of Lagos commanding any Igbo who darned to vote outside what he wanted to die in the Lagos lagoon.

Anyone still investing heavily outside Igboland will have himself or herself to blame.

We have been told clearly what Nigeria is and will remain for a long time

azpekuliar:
Kanu said this, Kanu said that. Listen to me you silly e-GOAT! There is no nice way to DEMAND freedom. None! If there was, Ken Saro Wiwa would still be alive.

ERBIL, Iraq: The United States has asked Iraq's Kurds to postpone a referendum on the independence of their autonomous Kurdish region, planned for Sep 25, the Kurdish presidency said.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made the request on Friday (Aug 11), during a phone call with the president of Iraq's Kurdistan Regional Government, Massoud Barzani.
The US State Department said in June it was concerned that the referendum will distract from "more urgent priorities" such as the defeat of Islamic State militants.
"On the issue of the postponement of the referendum, the President (Barzani) stated that the people of the Kurdistan Region would expect guarantees and alternatives for their future," said the statement issued by the Kurdish presidency after Tillerson's call, giving no further details on the Kurdish leader's reaction to the U.S. request.
The United States and other Western nations are concerned that the vote could turn into another regional flashpoint. Turkey, Iran and Syria, which together with Iraq have sizeable Kurdish populations, all oppose an independent Kurdistan as it represents a breach of constitution.

Buhari just turned himself to a mockery stone

blackfase:
.What i know is, as a Yoruba man, if these clowns in power continue to play their dumb ostrich game and defiant in d overwhelming quest for restructuring, d Biafra stuff will b a childs play in no distant time. They should realize that times have changed and our goldfish (freedom/ emancipation) no more has a hiding place. They must know all good things (their evil ways and selfishness in this case) has come to an end and smell d cappuccino, tragically for them.

IgbotiicGirL:
ok


Shell is currently building her largest gas plant in imo now

Nbote:
U could do a little research thru any NLNG offices or database..

There is enough evidence to deploy troops sef.

These are unarmed peaceful protesters.

You have evidence to compel the US to deploy troops while the fvcker you sent to the US court is filing a civil suit to claim millions of usd in damages , IPOB is doing business with their member's misfortune. they are too dumb to realise that.

American attorneys to storm Nigeria

From Aloysius Attah, Onitsha

Two United States Attorneys, Bruce Fein and Bruce DelValle of Fein& DelValle PPLC have met with ten Nigerian witnesses on the suit filed in the United States District court of Columbia against 14 Nigerian defendants for their complicity in the 2016 torture and extra-judicial killings of pro Biafran agitators during their peaceful protests.

The two attorneys who arrived Nigeria three days ago met with the families of the victims at an undisclosed location and also extracted various statements from them which were deposed as affidavits of facts to the suit.

Ten Biafran plaintiffs are seeking millions of dollars as damages to compensate for their grievous losses and suffering following the alleged gruesome killings of pro Biafra agitators in Nkpor and Onitsha , Anambra State and Aba, Abia State in 2016 during the peaceful demonstration for the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.

The identities of the plaintiffs are hidden for security reasons while the case name is John Doe , etal vs Tukur Yusuf Buratai etal civil action No. 1:17-cv-01033. The case has been assigned to United States District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle, appointed by President William Jefferson Clinton.

Speaking to Daily Sun in an exclusive chat, Attorney Bruce Fein said they were in Nigeria as a follow up to the suit already in court because of Biafra agitators who were murdered as a result of high level military and security agencies infringement of their rights to freedom of assembly and expression while the state governors could not also protect the demonstrators.

He explained that under the United States law, those human rights crimes are prosecutable in the United States courts even though the plaintiffs and defendants are citizens of the country, Nigeria.

Fein said after filing the case in the US court, they were able to convince the judge that revealing the identities of the complainants /plaintiffs in the suit could result in retaliations and danger against their families, hence the reason the court settled for the name John Doe etal so that it can proceed anonymously.

He confirmed that 13 defendants out of 16 have been effectively served with the court summons and noted that the Igbos and Christians have the right to live in the country and enjoy their full rights as citizens of Nigeria.

The Nigerian facilitators, Emeka Umeagbalasi , board chairman, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law and Okpalaezenri Emeka Onyeso of the Forum for the Promotion of National Ethos and Values, in their separate remarks noted that the struggle to ensure justice for the victims and families of those who died through the use of state power of coercion while engaging in peaceful protest is a noble cause that must be pursued to a logical conclusion.

They thanked the Ekwenche Organisation of Chicago, USA for their role in the suit, noting that the capability of countries to set up laws that regulate and protect all fundamental rights of man within the context of the United Nations Declarations, Covenants, Conventions and other multilateral treaties, and punish offenders, to a very large extent, influence the level of human development in most countries of the world

Other defendants in the suit included former Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, former Commander 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, Col Ibrahim Maigeri and Governors Willie Obiano and Okezie Ikpeazu of Anambra and Abia States among others

Who are the us? I know that the law didn't stipulate the minimum number of valid votes to declare a winner but the massive boycott will send waves to these celebrated criminals. 18th November is a day to reckon with.

Daily4mative:
The Northern Youth association had stated it will regroup and prepare for the war on failure for referendum.

The group which on Thursday withdrew their quit notice to the Igbo’s had said its intention is that the FG let’s the Igbo’s have a referendum for them to determine if they want to stay as Nigeria or go for Biafra.

EXACTLY, NDIIGBO ARE FED UP OF EVERYTHING.

THE WAY WE ARE LIVING IS FAR BELOW OUR STANDARD, IN VIEW THAT WE ARE INDUSTRIOUS AND HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES REQUIREMENT.

NIGERIA HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE CROSSED A LINE AND FROM THIS POINT ONLY BIAFRA WILL SUFFICE.

RESOURCE CONTROL AND DEVOLUTION OF POWER FROM THE CENTER MIGHT HELP TO PRESERVE NIGERIA.

HOWEVER, THE CENTER(ABUJA) MUST BE WEAKER.
