Politics › Igbo Must Give-up Natural Feeding Bottle For Life To Survive. by oladeebo(op): 1:39pm On Jul 04, 2017*. Modified: 1:55pm On Jul 04, 2017 |
Although economics and political viability is vital for a country secession, it's also important to made into consideration, the amicable friendship of neighbourhood for the seceded new country, can Biafra state survive in the womb of her mother Nigeria? More so for a child to survive, the Natural feeding bottle...placenta must be cut-off for breast feeding or artificial feeding bottle! So if igbo surely decided to go, they must definitely go out of Nigeria, as no international conventions can force her mother Nigeria to adopt her departed child! I've never seen a single seceded country in the world like Biafra which wants to survive in the womb of her mother, if Biafra manage to seceded then, igbo will suffered the consequences of departure. It' a scenario of Norther and southern Korea, if not worst. oladeebo |

None of the people, that compose a state, can be denied the right to shape their destiny. At the same time this right does not imply the right to secession. Self-determination does not equal to secession. The Declaration on Principles of International Law, adopted by consensus by all UN member states in 1970, declares that there are no legal grounds for secession by consent even of a part of a state's territory that was annexed to it by force if this annexation took place prior to the adoption of the UN Charter (1945). read: http://www.gromyko.ru/English/CPE/natioeng.htm |

2016v2017: attention seeker,pack well joo We must be careful with the old stereotype that "a nation possesses total sovereignty", if this notion calls for secession and isolation. On the other hand, at the time of anticolonial revolutions and the struggle for independence nationalism played a positive role in the creation of new independent states. At the same time, today quite often we see that the people's right to secession is proclaimed absolute not by the political forces of a given country but by the foreign forces and interests. This fixed approach acquires a new dimension in the light of the experience of the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. This experience calls for the right to self-determination to be exercised primarily within the boundaries of a state. |
Politics › Self Determination Right Can Never Lead To Secession, It's Absolutly Ignorant... by oladeebo(op): 11:22am On Jul 04, 2017 |
It's absolutly ignorant to exercising self determination for the fighting for secession. read more: The right to self-determination has become one of the most complex issues for U.S. foreign policymakers and the international community at large. Confusion over the issue stems not so much from whether there exists a right to self-determination, which is included in many international human rights documents, but from the failure of those documents to define exactly who is entitled to claim this right—a group, a people, or a nation—and what exactly the right confers. At the same time, the international system, particularly in the post–World War II era, has steadfastly defended the inviolability of existing nation-states’ borders, regardless of how and when they were determined. In recent years, many groups that constitute minorities in their states have invoked the “right to self-determination” in their demands for autonomy—or, in some cases, secession—and have resorted to violence to pursue their aims. These groups typically justify their demand for self-determination as a way to end years of repression and human rights violations by the majority ethnic group or the central government. The absence of a precise definition of what the right to self-determination entails has left the international community, and the states concerned, without guiding principles with which to respond. https://www.usip.org/sites/default/files/resources/pwks7.pdf |

Politics › Re: FG Should Restructure Nigeria Before The Next Election — Afe Babalola by oladeebo: 8:03am On Jul 02, 2017 |
nurex01: Legal icon, Aare Afe Babalola, speaks on corruption and the Nigerian judiciary among other issues, in this interview with KAMARUDEEN OGUNDELE
What do you make of the National Judicial Council’s recall of judges accused of corrupt practices?
Well, we are governed by a Constitution and under the constitution, a man is presumed innocent until he is found guilty. The National Judicial Council has the right to recall the Judges accused of corruption because the court of law has not found them guilty. If a man is not guilty, he would wear the gown of innocence. The NJC can’t hold that they are guilty.
How would you rate the Federal Government in terms of putting together a compelling case against the accused judges?
Federal Government doesn’t prosecute. But if it is about the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, I may have something to say. But let it be stated clearly that most of these cases in court were initiated by anti-graft agencies including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission that have powers to prosecute; not by the federal government as such. So, I will not be part of those who will blame the federal government for the way cases are being handled. On the contrary, I will look at how all these agencies handle these matters. Briefly, criminal cases, from my experience, are very difficult areas to convict anybody. Our law is that you must prove beyond all reasonable doubts before you convict a person. There was a young man who was alleged to have killed a young girl near Manchester in England. The man pleaded his innocence throughout his trial but he was found guilty and was hanged. Eight years after, the real killer came out and said that the man was killed wrongly. Was it possible for the court to restore the man to life? That was why the English law was changed. Another point is that a good and competent lawyer does not go by facts alone. He allows the prosecution to put his case and goes to attack the case of the prosecution by picking holes in the case. Once you can pick a hole in the case, your no- case-submission would be that they have not proved the case beyond reasonable doubts. So, I will therefore not say that anti-graft agencies are not doing their best. When you have a good lawyer, you can always pick holes in prosecution cases.
If lawyers are capitalising on holes in criminal cases, don’t you think it is an indication that the agencies are not manned by competent lawyers?
There was a time that people thought I was a specialist in criminal cases because it was so easy for me to win cases. Let me tell you, there are cases where my clients had confessed in writing that they committed murder and I got them acquitted. The fact that you made a confessional statement doesn’t mean you are guilty in law. There are other things that lawyers and judges look at. I have acquitted many clients who have made confessional statements because of the legal requirement. That is the correct position of the law. There is what we call justice according to facts and justice according to law. The facts may be in your favour but a good lawyer will make you fail. That is justice according to law. A court will not give judgment according to facts in law but according to law.
How will the continued efforts by the Federal Government to prosecute the accused judges affect the output of the judges now that they have been asked to go back to work?
Once they are charged to court, certainly they cannot continue to preside. Normally, they will be on suspension pending the conclusion of trial. A mere allegation or report in the media that a judge was found with some money or whatever does not mean that he is guilty. You have to listen to his own side. You should not convict judges based on newspaper proceedings. We are doing a lot of disservice to judiciary, they are also human beings. So I don’t believe in newspaper trial. Once they are charged to court, common sense and convention demand they should step aside because people would not have confidence in them. To me, anybody charged to court even in private businesses should be suspended and probably be paid half salary. So it is improper for them to continue to sit if they are facing criminal charges elsewhere.
Are you suggesting that the cases they are handling should be transferred to other judges?
As long as criminal cases are hanging on their necks in the court of law, they should not handle cases.
What is your reaction to the acquittal of Senate President Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct Tribunal?
He was charged for breaches and he pleaded innocence and he got some committed lawyers to argue his case and the court found out that he has not breached any code of conduct. To me, that is the end of the matter. They can only re-arrest him if they found new evidences relating to a fresh charge not the old charge upon which the CCT delivered its judgment. They have to justify that before the court of law; otherwise, it would amount to abuse of court process.
Do you agree with most Nigerians that justice for the high and mighty bears no resemblance to the justice of the average Nigerian?
This is a question I have listened to many times before. The same case if handled by an incompetent lawyer may result in failure but if handled by a competent lawyer, you get a different result. We have different classes of people in the society: the very rich, the rich and the poor. When the very rich or rich engaged the service of a competent lawyer who charges higher fees, the poor will probably go for a lawyer who is less experienced and whose fee is lower. So, to that extent, the mighty is in a position to get a favourable judgement while the poor may not. That explains that there is different in judgement for the mighty financially and the poor financially.
So it is not about purchase of judgment.
It isn’t. It is about the purchase of competent lawyer by the mighty. It is like a market the mighty buys the organic vegetable while the poor buys the inorganic vegetable. Law profession is a noble one. The nobility of the work can be found in the competence and non-competence of the lawyer. That is where you have the difference between someone winning and someone not wining.
We have had situations where people were jailed many years for stealing phones while cases against some ex-governors and top politicians have been dragging for many years now. Do you think this has helped in building a trust in the nation’s justice system?
There goes again the competence of lawyers. The governors have the money to hire competent lawyers; you know them (competent ones) yourself. You read about them in the newspapers all the time. If you go back to 80s and as recent as 10 years ago, you will see that I was hired virtually from all parts of the country. Flying from Calabar to Jos, Maiduguri, Yola because they were aware of my competence. So if the governors hired competent lawyers, they get results. There is nothing wrong in that.
What is your reaction to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s decision to reopen an investigation on the Chairman of the CCT?
Nothing stops them from investigating him. Nothing. That is proper.
Don’t you think it is a case of witchunt because he failed to convict the senate president?
There will be many schools of thought about that. If the matter had been investigated in the past, there is no point reinvestigating him.
If you were leading the prosecution side in the case against Saraki, what would you do differently?
That will depend on the facts in the matter. I’m not in possession of the facts in the matter, so I can’t speak on that.
Why is it that, contrary to what obtains in more developed democracies, Nigerian politicians fail to resign when they are caught up in one scandal or the other?
There are many things peculiar to this country. In civilised countries, a person will resign as soon as such allegation is made against him. It is not that area alone that we have our peculiar factor. Recently I delivered a lecture at the Obafemi Awolowo University and pointed out some factors which include the failure of a rich man to support the university. Failure of the alumni to support their universities, whereas in other countries, the money realised from the yearly donation by alumni and public spirited individuals is more than two-third of the money spent yearly by those universities. So it is a peculiar factor.
Is this appropriate?
I’m an advocate of change of attitude by Nigerians in many areas, not only in universities affairs but also public service. It is wrong for one to be accused and yet remain in power. You don’t have to wait.
Given the public outcry against Dino Melaye, particularly in his constituency, do you think it’s time for the senator to resign?
He was duly elected by the people and there is provision in the law. If the people are not satisfied, they can recall him. It is for his constituency to decide whether to recall him or not.
How would you rate President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption war?
I think every Nigerian knows what we are going through in the hands of corruption. He is doing his very best. The day we go back to what Nigeria was like when I was young in the 50s, that day Nigeria will be a great country. That was a time that when going to school we were able to buy fruits from the shelves in the absence of the owner. We will put money there and take our balance, yet nobody was stealing. Corruption started gradually and crept into the system. There was a time people thought charging five per cent was corruption. I defended a minister in 1967 after the coup and the man was acquitted. Today, corruption has assumed a huge proportion that drastic measure ought to be adopted by any serious government. To that extent the government is doing the right thing to stamp it out. But let me warn that arresting people is not the answer, imprison one is not the answer. The answer is to go back to elementary and secondary schools as well as tertiary institutions and change the mind of the youths. The only change that can bring permanent change about corruption is to change the minds of the youths. Because the government wiped out the teaching of religion from schools, we are now the victims of all sorts of crimes. Let us return teaching of morals to school. It is very important. That is what we are trying to do in my universities here. Buhari will not attain his lofty aims of fighting corruption by jailing people. Let us go back to the basis. Let the schools and religious centres do more; let the government functionaries change their attitude.

Terkimbi01: The the truth and nothing but the truth is this, Nigeria is on the brink but it seems many are blind to it.
The politicians and the elders are wining and dining in Abuja while those they swore to lead and protect are dying: some by Boko Haram, some by Nigeria army, some by Fulani herdsmen and some by hunger.
The Biafrans are bold about what they want.
Elders of the Southern Nigeria met in Lagos to oppose the north.
The north is not joking about his audacity to control. The middle belt wants a separate identity. Yes, we are not part of the north, we are in the middle.
Buhari is very sick and if anything happens to him, southerners living in the. north will pay. And then, things can spin out of control.
as for me, all I want is for Fulani and their cows to leave Benue state. op! what's the function of Nigeria Army? |

richeso: i still stand to be corrected sir.
1. why are Nigerians practicing majority and minority ? any advantage more to disadvantage ?
2. I don't think the same politicians will enjoy a free space of such capacity to steal millions or billions again in their respective state as each income will be accounted for. there will be no inferior complexity of "he's a Yoruba man, him dey favor him.her people, or he's from south him no like we the north" such things will be of the past as the leaders will be duly elected by their own and will account for every income/penny because this time its what you get you use to fix your issues, not depending on any federal government to come to your aid. you don't cry of marginalization anymore because you have control over your resources.
3.our elites and politicians presently do not care of the masses they only care of themselves and their family. 80percent of elites and politicians family don't live here in Nigeria, don't school here and hardly understand the pains and suffering of the common man. i don't think such people will be granted the chance to act as they are now because the youths will defend their state.
4.Corruption is a big problem and not just corruption but Nigeria problem is on tribalism. a Yoruba man will first think of his home before others, same to other tribes. this is why we want it to be so. take care of your state. be responsible of your success or failures without blaming anyone for it. 5. regarding punishment. its still on same tribalism. you get away easily when your tribal man is in power, do you know to the understanding of buhari Abacha is a saint compared to GEJ ? this are things we don't want to be repeating every years.
this time we want every state to be RESPONSIBLE of your development, we are still brothers and leave peacefully but we want to hold our destiny's by our own hands and not determined by someone in Abuja or London or Abia. we want our states to be accountable.
in 1963 as i have learnt things where better, there where better life then compared to now. lets use that system of then with the current development and see what we get.
at least lets try a new way because this one wey dey now na go go area my guy. ok! let me tell! if the agitation of restructure and secession is louder today, it's because Nigerian had taken themselves from the political jobbers and greedy politicians, that's why they take revenge against Nigeria nation to either balkanize Nigeria into region for region or separate state! If Nigeria accept their will today and put the condition to retired all of them from politics, can they agree?, and you can't stop them from ruling your region we are in democracy! Read my previous notes very well for understanding. https://www.nairaland.com/3883382/agitation-restructuring-nigeria-un-laidhttps://www.nairaland.com/3881854/un-resolution-article-1-2017 |

That being said, let me hop in from here. In rebuttal to your no1, i can bet you, either region or country, the old renegade and reprobate politicians will smell their butts under a new arrangement, the flawed unworkable deterrent-lacking structure of the present Nigeria makes it tough to deal with these band of cretins. People are wiser now, trust me and there wont be much space for the political murders these guys get away with under a new setting.... let me tell you one thing, if Nigeria is restructure in family basis, the problems we run for in Nigeria will still chase us to where ever we may be running to, we can dodging it. We better face our problems and fight to solve it once and for all! here are some lessons for all Nigerians... all the revolution succeeded returned power to the people in the corridors of power any where in the world, if you've not and never been in the corridor of power don't expect to be in power no matter your reason and capability to grab power, it can never possible! look from Arab spring revolution, Egypt Tunisia, Libya, Syria, even in Bukina faso, power still remain in the hand of the same people who run their nation down! Nigeria wont be exception! The only viable solution that I see to our problems in this country is to simply erase the imaginary line of 1914 Amalgamation that share Nigeria into North and South Region! it divided us than United Us as a nation! We must Adopt Western and Eastern region that will automatically shared our diversities and differences into Western and Eastern Region Equally and all our problems are solved! why run away from problems? look at this map: oladeebo

INTRODUCTION:
When different Nationalities and Ethnic Groups live in the same country, it is imperative that they each let the others know what their special interests are, in order to make living with each other worthwhile. If all of them are to live in peace, they must each know what is of paramount concern to each and every Nationality. Given the fact that the Yoruba Nation also extend beyond Nigeria, she has the obligation to preserve her cultural heritage and way of life within Nigeria and elsewhere where she has a sizeable community. In a situation where the Yoruba Nation share a common country with some other Nationalities either with feudal tendencies or conformity by coercion, this can be stifling to the fullest development of the Yoruba. It is therefore in the interest of the Yoruba Nation to have as much Autonomy in their Region as a Truly Federal arrangement would demand. This means that more power will be with the Nationality, where, with a True Federal set-up, planning and execution of social, economic and other services that meets the aspiration of Yoruba Nationhood will be possible. As we all now know, there is a serious question mark on Nigeria as a Federal State. This has led to current agitations and permutations as to correcting this fundamental defect. In considering current developments, certain areas that need to be thoroughly examined have been identified. Specifically, a Truly Federal Nigeria in which the Constituent Nationalities will posses a reasonable degree of Autonomy will require clear understanding of the impact of the following on the Nigerian Union: (1) The development of social and economic relationship between the various Nationalities within Nigeria and their Diaspora; for the Yoruba Nation, that will be Brazil, Cuba, the U.S, the West Indies and South America without the overriding legislative power of the Nigerian Union. (2) The ability of the Nations to pursue micro and macro Economic policies (3) Regional Command of the Armed Forces, taking cognizance of the fact that a country’s defense is linked to its foreign policy and vice versa. ENDORSEMENT OF CONSTITUTIONS: (1) Endorsement of Regional or Nationality Constitutions through Referendums within the various Regions or Nationalities only. (2) Endorsement of the Negotiated Federal Constitution through a country-wide Referendum.
