This is not true. And I wonder where you get the idea from. Its definitely not from our Constitution nor is it in any other countries constitution as far as I know, unless by "thrown out" you mean impeached, for which a democratically elected majority is still required.

A government that does not "obey the will of the people" should be voted out by the people at the next election.

We all know your antecedents. We can read between the lines. Your rebellious history preceeds you. We all know your advocacy is not for democracy but for anarchy. It is either your way or no way.
Despite your surreptitious attempts to mask it,we see through you. The agenda is either an Ibo man becomes president of Nigeria OR anarchy and rebellion to achieve Biafra. That is all what you have masquraded under this sesquipedalian write up. We know your antecedents.

don't forget the present is a Continuum of the past, your forefathers laid d foundation n we will follow it to the very end

You are right, feel free to go and send IPOB goons to the UK.

nairalanda1:
Good comment, my dear Miss truthera

gidgiddy:
Same as no referendum made you a Nigerian

truthera:
What brought you here miss nairalanda1.....? Note I am not a "She"....

truthera:
Don't mind that commentator, cherrypicking blame to push a false narrative....

truthera:
Why not speak for yourself instead of your cheap attempt to arouse the tribal emotions of others by using the word "We", your skewed assumption in trying to force a tribal inclination of an igbo presidency as the underlying reason behind my opinion is wrong and false because at no point did I mention I wanted an igbo presidency or supported any candidate in the upcoming election..... Comments such as yours is a perfect example why Nigeria needs a national referendum..... Let's assume you are right that I want Biafra, why should wanting to exercise my right to self-determination be seen as a crime? Can you see the injustice of one Nigeria? Lack of tolerance and freedom to exercise consent over a forced union will never bring about peace or patriotism Nigeria needs to become a progressive nation. The sectionalism perpetrated by so many people like you will continue to reinforce the undeniable notion that there is no genuine unity among Nigerians, only suspicion and selfish tribal sentiments pervades Nigeria's national polity....

truthera:
Yesterday is history, no one can go back in time to undo what has been done, you can only change today and tomorrow. Nigeria will continue to retrogress unless justice and the underlying undeniable truth over it's fragile unity is addressed.....

truthera:
Are you aware that all federal institutions at the national level including INEC and judiciary, relevant in your country's electoral process have been captured by Tinubu? How can you still be advocating for voting and election as a means to remove a federal government that is comprised of a seat tight selfish president and a national assemby that will never yield to a national referendum?

A revolution to remove a dictatorial rebellious corrupt government especially when all other democratic institutions to checkmate the government have been captured is not an anomaly because the constitution and all relevant statutory provisions derives it's power and legitimacy from the people..... When all democratic processes, democratic institutions including the government fails to uphold the will of the people for a national referendum over their country's unity, a revolutionary mass movement to dissolve such government becomes a last resort for the people...

truthera:
Freedom is the source of life, without freedom, life has no meaning.... If a national referendum on Nigeria's unity will end up splitting the country into 100 other countries I see nothing wrong with that, provided that is what the people want..... The problem comes when you try to force a fake unity, a fake marriage without seeking their consent.... Indigenous people should have the right to choose if you must build a progressive nation.... Note that it is Nigerians that will champion the actualization of this national referendum through a revolutionary mass movement and not corrupt selfish Senators and Reps members in Nigeria's national assembly. Also, I noticed that you seem to be scared of a national referendum because of separation but it may surprise you that a large section of the country may vote to remain in Nigeria when given the chance to exercise their consent.

You said "Smart people know that splitting Nigeria into what could end up being like a hundred different nations is not viable".... You are simply being selfish by saying this and that is not smartness.... A forced union is simply a prison, an abusive relationship that can't foster lastng peace... patriotism will continue to diminish until people's right to choose are respected and not trampled on to force one Nigeria.... The country will continue to retrogress, no voting or elections can save this country or inspire true patriotism as it is built on a forced fake union, it is built on lies....

truthera:
You made it clear that the 2023 election was in your own words "as fair as fair can be" and that you do not support referendum due to tribalistic considerations when you said the following below....





You are also wrong for saying that any one can leave Nigeria when it is also not true when you said and I quote below....



Because no indigenous people can leave Nigeria with their ancestral lands to form their own country....

If true, Tinubu is the president. The majority of voting Nigerians elected him there to go and do as he pleases within the Constitution.

If you don't like it, replace him with someone else by voting for someone else at the next election.

And please consider my Peter Obi please.

truthera:
I am convinced now that you do not want to be objective because I've on several occasions pointed out ....

budaatum:
I have the funny feeling that you think because you you have pointed out your opinion on several occasions that it must therefore become my own opinion. That is why you can not accept that I do not agree with what you claim you have pointed out.

It's the same way you insist that a 'majority' that you have shown us no way to determine should just impose an interim government on us instead of us voting for our government for our self.

Good luck with that. And vote for Obi please.

truthera:
You don't need to agree with me.... What matters is the truth....

truthera:
If you read the post, you will know I've no preferred candidate in any Nigerian election. If you can't proffer any meaningful solution apart from the usual divisive rhetorics of Obi vs Tinubu that pervades this forum then it is best to remain silent...

jahsharon:
.
Go and do meaningful things with your time and stop wasting away

budaatum:
Yes, I am part of the problem Nigeria faces and responsible for all your hardship.

Now, if only you would go and vote for your prefered candidate, we'd hold you responsible too even if your candidate lost like my Obi lost. But note even he is not campaigning for a breakup of Nigeria, so you might need to run for president yourself so you can exercise as much freedom as you like.

citizenY:
Honestly, l suggest you should stop responding to this fellow. There are proper structures for a referendum in place.. viz... a legislature, a political platform, elections by way of voting, a consittuency.

Whatever he wants, a referendum or even two seats for Nigeria at the Ùnited Nations, can be done through his elected representative. If such is not done, blame him and his representative.

This coubtry is for all of us. Anybody who feels he is running faster should carrybon. We go meet for road when you taya..... and pass you. In short desperados are not welcome.

budaatum:
Except that my responses are not only for this fellow, I'd have gladly taken your very wise advice.

It compels your like to further educate him, and that is worth more than gold.

citizenY:
Lets see his reaction .

budaatum:
We've already seen his reaction, lol.

He does not want us to vote in elections, but wants us to vote in a referendum we need to vote and win an election to get.

It is morning yet on creation day for this country. We should be very careful as we proceed. Nation building is an arduous task, not talk talk and mouthing cliches

truthera:
Elected or self imposed selfish corrupt representatives? What are the structures for a referendum when all arms of government and federal institutions have been captured by Tinubu and his party? If the country was for "all of us" as you may presume then I see no reason why you can't see that only a people backed revolution can bring about a national referendum under these hopeless circumstances.... Except you want to remain in self-denial of your reality, Nigeria's federal government and it's public institutions is gone. 2027 election will bring all that I've discussed here to bare.....

citizenY:
We are telling you that you can only get your referendum through your elected representatives and constitutional process and you are fixated in your denigration of the same process and institutions. Continue shadow boxing.

truthera:
Hmmmm.... denigrating "elected representatives and constitutional process".... the constitution and all relevant statutory provisions derives it's power and legitimacy from the people..... When all democratic public institutions have been captured, a revolution remains the only viable option for the people...

What do you gain from living in self-denial over a captured lawless country like Nigeria, where what you call constitutional processes are been denigrated on a daily basis? IMO, there is nothing left to denigrate as long as Nigeria is concerned. I hope you will be courageous to interact here after Tinubu through vote buying and systematic rigging is declared the winner in 2027 presidential election....
