If the constitution does not av anything like referendum in it,it is the smart play of the writer of the constitution and that is why pple are calling for constitution amendment,the constitution should be amended based on the realities on ground as what is the situation in 1999,is not the same as 2017. Secondly,nigeria is a signatory to the laws that bind the United Nations,African Union,and Ecowas,so as a result of that they are abide to respect such laws because it is not selective. Anything about nigeria is scam even you know the truth. Restructure,you say NO,Separation,you say NO.

PassingShot:
No president worth his salt will say the unity of the country he presides over is negotiable.

The world over, a group of people who wants to secede will go through either of two options:

1. Referendum: This is only applicable if there is provision for such in the constitution. Unfortunately for all of us, our constitution doesn't provide for it which means no president has that privilege to allow it else he'd be committing an impeachable offence. To take this route, the group wishing to secede MUST first work to get the constitution amended through the NASS. And if GEJ from SS region couldn't work for that amendment, it's foolish to expect a president from any other region to work for it.

2. Violence: This unfortunately is the only other option. We all know what comes with it are death, destruction, sorrow, hunger and many other humanitarian crisis. If you didn't witness the civil war of 1966, and you were too young to see what happened in Liberia, Somalia, Rwanda and many other African countries, you're surely seeing what is happening in Syria, Central African Republic, DRC and many others.

So, PMB is right to have said it unequivocally that Nigeria's unity is not negotiable just as those before him were right in saying so.

The earlier the Chief Idiot and Pig of Biafra (Terrorist Kanu) and his fellow idiots and pigs realized this and be guided, the better for all of us.

Yyeske:
Someone please educate these kids and piglets that we don't have a referendum clause in our constitution and the president does not even have the power to issue such to any group.

ollaxworld:


Sentiments aside, this man is obviously weak, old and medically unfit to continue with that sit.

We hear different lies daily trying to cover-up truths about his health from the public. From hiding the details of His ailments (which he spent and still spending billions of Naira of tax payers earnings) to recording his first speech upon returning to the country.


I am here waiting for where they would turn to after exhausting all the possible lies within their reach.


We just heard about rodents destroying THE PRESIDENTIAL OFFICE OF THE LARGEST BLACK NATION ON EARTH... how on earth could they even think the gullibility of Nigerians would buy this "unsunatic lie"?


I weep for Nigeria and Nigerians

gnykelly:
he can't really absolve those shock his quota of the pie is 50%. and he struggled to contribute.

the answer to question 4

is that he built a massive subsea pipeline down to the niger-delta should in case it get blown off the refinery was build not only to refine sweet crude that nigeria have in abundance but can also refine Angolan crude which is a stone throw to lagos.

Baroba:
" They will know am from Aguleri".. What a useless threat? Who gives a flying f**k where you from. Instead of building bridges this clown is busy issuing empty threats.. Enugu folks have no business protesting in Anambra, stop dividing Ndigbo.. Obiano goofed time..

He is making Ipob more relevant without knowing it..ewu

989900:
Jpphilips killed it already.

In addition, the refinery already has this massive underwater pipelines.
We should expect an avalanche of private refineries springing up from every corner of the country : Nigerians and 'copy cat' -- some other private refineries are already in the works already. The probability of Nigeria producing excess of 1m barrels per day in 2-3 years.

Translates to:

*Forex conservation and Forex earnings from refined products exports and fertilizer: stronger Naira.
*Increased GDP.
*Jobs.
*More FDIs.
*Power supply (it would likely take care of Lagos and environs 24*7).

Massive subsea pipelines? that's quick but it doesn't explain much, they could be offshore feed stock or Quay lines , they could be export lines, they could be loading terminal lines, it's too early to speculate what he intends to use the lines for.
I won't borrow your "copy cat" terminology, the buisness environment here is way too risky hence smart investors are always waiting for the money bags to take the first plunge, if they succeed, others can follow, it's a smart buisness strategy, the investment cost is huge, if it fails you are fvcked, guys like Dangote can absorb those shocks, so I agree, there will be new entrants if Dangote succeeds from an economics point of view, from a capitalist point of view, who likes competition?

WeNoGoDie:
Keep your words to yourself. I thoroughly know your type.

I don't need your lecture neither did I plead for courtesy from anyone.

You are worse than the others because you even read how the whole thing and knew what went down and still ended spilling this lengthy immature jibberish.

The foreigner was talking about folks like you.

slimfit1:
Sir uncle sir you are very stupid sir with respect sir. So diplomatic passport is paying for treatment too sir ? Why are you very foolish to think I'll fall for your crap sir?

The treatment is paid by British government too sir yes or no ? Before you reply sir, no when to quit to not make things worse for yourself. The opposition does have point and I look and evaluation how things operate.

Before you lie again diplomacy is not included in the NHS you pay for treatment because he doesn't pay tax in UK.

While I was explaining diplomatic assets, he thought I was talking about diplomatic passports despite giving him examples, .
Im so ashamed of myself to have responded to a tailor with the IQ of a squirrel.

1. When the refinery gets up and running (by God's grace!) how soon will that lead to a complete end to fuel importation a month, two?

2. will the price of fuel products eg petrol, diesel, kerosene etc reduce? if so what realistic price range can nigerians expect.

3. the refinery is located in lekki how then will the refined products be transported? i'm asking this question from a transport point of view because of the usual gridlock that occurs around that lekki area. or will a pipeline be constructed from the lekki axis to the apapa tank farms.

4. also related how will the refinery be able to access it's raw crude considering the threats of sabotage, militancy and volatility of the niger-delta area?

5. apart from earning us foreign exchange and also stopping us wasting scarce dollars on importation of petroleum products what other multiplier benefits will come out from the set up of this refinery?

Aufbauh:
From the activities of those Ipob miscreants I've come to terms that indeed ignorance is worse than a disease and joblessness is a menace.

This is why a handsome looking young man in his prime who should have been solving his company's management problems, is engaged with his fellows chasing shadow in this Buhari's regime.... Smh.

3. Biafra with her history and wisdom long existed before the advent of the colonialist who came along with their foreign education, language and divide-rule strategy; all of which the so-called Anambra Lawyers rather chose to embrace and flaunt beautifully.

5. What ever legal assistance rendered by the so- called convener to Nnamdi Kanu and by extension IPOB has been rubbished by this press release.

Btw, I am young man below 40, an important title holder and noble man from Omambala making me a stakeholder in the topic of discussion and by the grace of God, a high achiever and scholar ( western education inclusive).

It is unsurprising that you had to remind us your academic exploits because ardent followers of kanu share a particular embarrassing stereotype,

Afam4eva:
It's commonsensical that a region that produces most of Nigeria's resources but doesn't get it's due will be restive. It's like jumping inside mud and asking why your body is dirty.

Ambassador Stephens was killed by Al Quadia aligned groups.

The uprising started with the killing of innocent civilians. The people revolted after over 300 people were killed the dreaded Khamis Battalion based at Katiba was in the forefront of killing innocent civilians.

Elements within the army found it difficult to kill thier own family members and revolted. The heavily armed and we'll stocked Garrison at Katiba was overtaken from inside and outside by now the increasing number of civilian rebels turned militants.

The entire weaponry was seized. The need for foreign supplies was never thier they had all they needed. Apart from air power. However, a number of Gaddafi's airforce were flying the planes to Egypt and Greece and refusing to bomb thier own people.

A few days letter a UN resolution was put in place to protect citizens and enforce a no fly zone. Within the hour French fighter jets averted a certain blood bath by Gaddafi heavy weaponry and tanks when they completely took all his tanks out that were just about to enter Benghazi.

The Zintan uprising had also started as well as in other cities across Libya. The Zintan Brigade a collection of civilian militias was formed. Who began to inflict heavy casualties on govt forces after raiding the Gaddafi arms caches within and outside the city.

The idea that this was all Western orchestrated is simply impossible and not true. They didn't have to supply arms the country was already awash with them.

According to the new york times;

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration secretly gave its blessing to arms shipments to Libyan rebels from Qatar last year.
But in the months before, the Obama administration clearly was worried about the consequences of its hidden hand in helping arm Libyan militants, concerns that have not previously been reported. The weapons and money from Qatar strengthened militant groups in Libya, allowing them to become a destabilizing force since the fall of the Qaddafi government.

The United States, which had only small numbers of C.I.A. officers in Libya during the tumult of the rebellion, provided little oversight of the arms shipments. Within weeks of endorsing Qatar’s plan to send weapons there in spring 2011, the White House began receiving reports that they were going to Islamic militant groups. They were “more antidemocratic, more hard-line, closer to an extreme version of Islam” than the main rebel alliance in Libya, said a former Defense Department official.He said that Qatar would not have gone through with the arms shipments if the United States had resisted them,

During the frantic early months of the Libyan rebellion, various players motivated by politics or profit — including an American arms dealer who proposed weapons transfers in an e-mail exchange with a United States emissary later killed in Benghazi — sought to aid those trying to oust Colonel Qaddafi.

But after the White House decided to encourage Qatar — and on a smaller scale, the United Arab Emirates — to ship arms to the Libyans, President Obama complained in April 2011 to the emir of Qatar that his country was not coordinating its actions in Libya with the United States, the American officials said

Oya,go and beat him na. I don't blame them but ipob. They better redraw that Biafra map. We are in 2017.lesotho is inside SA., and the are not doing badly. Biafra can never be achieved with this bad blood,disunity and double speak. Kanu cannot achieve Biafra without reaching out to the international community and some international heavy weights.

Lightening:
Kanu stopping Anambra election? Didn't know he has such powers. Shame to the zoo that an ordinary civilian without any political power nor ever had any would successfully stop election. It is TIME UP for deceits and lies.

komekn:
I am forced to clear this misrepresentation of fact.

Libya under Gaddafi had one of the largest stockpiles of weaponry in Africa, when he turned his guns on his own people and they in turn, turned on him and rejected him. Remember that was the Arab Spring.

Remember also that in Benghazi whole battalions rejected him, particularly as he had taken to using Touareg mercenaries to butcher his own people.

The west supported the uprising but did not by any means start it.

The people just raided the huge stockpiles and then defended themselves with the looted weapons. The more opportunistic amongst them sold the weapons to the Islamic Maghreb, even the Touaregs helped themselves to the freely available assorted weaponry. At this stage they too started their on rebellion and then Boko joined in buying weaponry at the Nations closing down give away sale, the rest is now present continuous history.

the seeds of chaos r inherent in every country

the crux of the matter is who r the stakeholders -who waters it and to what purpose

note chaos can be interpreted as manifesting itself either in good or bad state , depending if it is in favor or contrary to the well being of the state.

citizens of a welfare state will fight for their country no matter their internal difference becz all of them r stakeholders of the resources / governance of the state. nobody will burn a house which he/she built himself or herself.

whereas a security state no matter how prosperous or how legitimate will always be a country divided against itself becz there r no stakeholders ,except for a few individuals in power or a single political party.


and importantly thieves will always enter or try to enter a house with open doors , so whose onus is it to be responsible for the security - not the stakeholders (owners) but all the collective stakeholders ie the owners, the neighbors , the security , everybody in the system .

so question to u is was Libya a welfare state or security state ?


nation state is a collective reflection of what we r as citizens the good,the bad,the worse,the united,the divided.......................the intelligent or the morons

undivided citizens can never be turned against itself , how hard anybody may try, but divided citizens just need a small nudge at the right time and on the right issue to start the fireworks.

study for exploiting vulnerabilities of a state is very interesting becz it sometimes reflects and helps u introspect the vulnerabilities of ur own state. i believe i mentioned something relating to it once

it is a top dollar business

anyways

dig a pit for others , and ur likely to fall into it

WeNoGoDie:
In case of what. Abeg forget that thing, you aren't lie Mohammed, I've seen hundreds of convoys of heads of state worldwide and never once seen an ambulance in a single one.

WeNoGoDie:
Yes I've seen hundreds of convoys without ambulance. If an ambulance is disguised in another color nobody can tell its an ambulance.

To those that can reason, I am correct in that sense but to kids like you that come to Nairaland only to look for girls and throw insults, I won't allow myself to descend to your debased level.

I won't even bother with you beyond now. If you need websites where you can load more garbage insult vocabularies in your head then try Google.

It will be nice if your dead brains can explain to me if it's free security to just pack a plane the pilots who is paying for the hotels other cost please if you are stupid don't assume everyone is. You say call me and illiterate? Rather be and illerate than a full at 40 like you sir.

So the Old Vegetable is finally back , I dont Give a Fu-ck if he is Back , his coming back wont stop the dream of Biafra coming through..... B4 October 1St his Mumu Cabal go tell una anoda story ...

Daddy general president please next time keep the plane in Abuja sir let our soldiers protect it let the money be wasting in our shores. Mr please it is embarrassing seeing our plane in another territory, as if it was captured by UK government. Sir keeping it in Nigeria is better worse for your die hard fan to defend that stupidity from you to keep a plane as important as that in foreign land costing us huge more. Please think of the poor people in Daura before you do that again.
