Nobody needs a reason for secession.
Are even listening to yourself, "reason for secession".
Did Nigeria need any reason for independence?
Conduct a referendum we told them.

Don't get me wrong, I respect people's right to self determination.

You need to understand that when a part breaks away, it affects the whole in every areas. You also need to know that secession is different from independence. You only gain independence from a colonialist or an occupier while you secede from an existing entity/country. The questions you need to ask yourself are,

why do you clamour for secession?

Are the reasons genuine enough or do you have legal/legitimate case for secession?

If you prefer a referendum, present your case to the NASS & do everything through the appropriate channels. All of these should be done legally & Nnamdi should know better as he claims to be learned but he rather chose to be reckless about it (he probably has bad advisers).

Let the referendum start from SE & check the people's sentiment first, only then will you be able to know if your agitation will survive on the national level. There has to be debates for a certain period of time for the YES/NO campaign at every level of society & govt so that people can be more enlightened, therefore be able to make informed decisions & choice.

Let me chill here...

That's only possible in the US or some western states my brother.
Black man doesn't reason this way.
Once you mention referendum they get scared forgetting the people you want to govern in a democratic system of government must want to be govern by the government.
The points you raised are true.
From the way Buhari talk, he seems to think Nigeria is his caliphate.

Seems you have problem with Buhari personally.
