If you are sure then speak out. Tell the federal government to allow Igbos go, I will like to see how lazy people like Yorubas make a country

The only way secession will cause people to loose properties is if it happened without following a normal process. If there's referendum by the UN, Nigeria will be asked to give a certain part of their national wealth to the new nation. Processes will follow and there won't be loses of property. Remember there was the Soviet Union and now countries broke away. Read what happened to their money and investment. That you're a lawyer doesn't mean you are vast in this area.
If you have issues with lawyers you don't have to exhibit it here. If Biafra are going about it this way of insulting and casting aspersions on others, they will loose everything.

Now note there are port folio investment and direct ones in Nigeria, Biafra will lose almost all except, may be cash for those that are smart to convert it to a convertible currency like dollars et al before the exit.

This is why you will loose all your portfolio investments, they are all backed up by Nigerian laws and authority of Nigerian government which will no longer apply to you guys anymore e. g. treasury bills, bonds, equity, swap and others.


If you were not being disingenuous, the focal point of this thread is the real estate, no supranational organization will tell a nation to cut out its lands to foreigners, UN also is bound by the international principle of state sovereignty. Read it up and thank me later.

Charge and bail lawyer, what do you know. I thought you guys said Igbos where not the ones that developed Lagos? For your information, if loose there properties in the west, Yorubas will lose there property all over the world.
If you read between the lines, I said Yoruba don't mind losing o. 2 per cent of their real estate in alaigbo but you guys that owe 90 per cent of properties in Lagos in your warped imagination will loose more.

You didn't see that above, did you? Stop throwing ad hominem about and address the issue drilling hole in your dearie behind.

The post-Soviet states, also collectively known as the former Soviet Union (FSU)[1] or former Soviet Republics, are the 15 independent states that emerged from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in its dissolution in December 1991, with Russia internationally recognised as the successor state to the Soviet Union. On March 11, 1990, Lithuania was the first to declare its independence, with Estonia and Latvia following suit in August 1991. All three Baltic states claimed continuity from the original states that existed prior to their annexation by the Soviet Union in 1944 and were admitted to the United Nations on 17 September 1991.[2][3] The remaining 12 republics all subsequently seceded.[2] 12 of the 15 states, excluding the Baltic states, initially formed the CIS and most joined CSTO, while the Baltic states focused on European Union and NATO membership.

Hello nairalanders.

There is an arguement between my guy on, if a particular part in a country should decide or agree to succeed out from their original country.
That all individual property owned by people of other separatist will be lost to citizens of the other state/country.

My question is, does succession make legal property owned by individual lost because he/she is no more part of the other separatist country ?

Your detail analysis please

@ lalasticala
Sit down a listen to Nnamdi Kanu's interview about Igbo properties outside Igbo land and solid examples he gave which took place in different countries. Igbos are loosing nothing, it's a win win game for them. Sit down and listen to his interview. It was even pushed to the fp here yesterday. I just shook my head after reading nonsense trash people are commenting here which occupied first and second Page. This shows that majority are ignorant of how things are working in 21st century.

Dumaknesset:
When I say Igbos don't think things through, you would not believe me, so you have not thought about it, yet you want secession.

I am a lawyer and here is a legal dimension.

First note that all lands in Nigeria by virtue of the Land Use Act, 1978 is owned by the state, federal government and local government accordingly. Developed parts are owned by the state through the state governor, the undeveloped parts are owned by the local government, while those areas acquired by federal government are owned by the Federal government.

Individuals and even corporate organizations are mere tenants to the the real owners, the governments! hence, the issuance of cofo, consent, excision, ratifications et al.

Once a property is abandoned as it will be, when the biafrans bolt, the properties will revert to the real owners that is the state government, local government or federal government vide a legal principle called bona vacantia.

Note the legal principle of quic quid plantatur solo solo cedit, he who owes the land owes what is on it, all the developments on the lands become that of the real owner.

All the biafrans properties will become that of Lagos state government, it will be the largest real estate deal in the world since igbos own 90 percent of real estate in Lagos state and Afonjas only own 0.2 percent of real estate in the east.
You confidently show your limitations of the matter you claims to have

Lol. Nnamdi Kanu will always tell you what you want to hear but not what is obtainable in the Nigeria constitution.
Re: Does Secession From A Country Make an Individual Lose His Personal Property? by einsteine(m): 7:40am On Jul 04, 2017
It depends on the node of seccession. Amicable seccessions should see the new foreigners retain their properties. However, when the secession is preceeded by a lot of bitterness and fighting, all foreigners would be asked to leave, losing their properties in the process. An example is in the case of Ethiopia and Eritrea, Pakistan and India, the breakup of Yugoslavia, etc.

As for the Nigerian case, it is highly unlikely that any foreigner would get to keep his property. The first action would be deportation and Biafrans would find it difficult to get visas. In the meantime, their properties would get taken over.

You make mobile phones or what?

You guys hold patents on cutting edge technologies or you simply import?

Abeg you guys should stop overhypeing your achievements.

I would grant you this, physically you are warriors just like all other tribes that dote West Africa.

You have smart individuals, again just like every other tribe.

The fact is you haven't invented anything, and your part of the country does not boast of working everyday machinery that emanated from your midst.

You guys are mostly traders and that's what you are known for. Licit and illicit.

Note this is Nigeria with Nigerian laws and not mother Russia with a different constitution that probably allow state to secedes.

Has it occurred to you that Nigeria can change their land use act anytime? You have to plan with the worse case scenario not assuming your adversary will show mercy at some point, if Nigeria makes property ownership a "citizen right" what are you supposed to do about that?
Taiwan did it to China, in fact, they just increased the Chinese quota of land ownership recently because china has installed a stooge in Taiwan, the problem most of you pro Biafrans have is that you subscribe to cable TV and end up watching just African Magic, you subscribe to the internet and end up watching p0rn with it.
if you have a clue the end of that biafran road, you will never dream of it. By the way, just because igbos left their properties for three years,
Niger delta seized all of them, what have you done about that? Abandoned property is an abandoned destiny, continue abandoning your destiny everywhere!!
Av u watched that video of nnamdi many. All these rubbish u av been saying is like u r discouraging ibid from leaving. He said whether Adama as an iibo girl decides to stay in Lagos. That's not his business. U r talking as if they are no human beings leaving in d SE and its only Lagos that they are. My brother wake up.

Typical Biafra, when you are confronted with facts and figures, next you do is to insult. November is around the corner. Like Nnamdi kanu has instructed you no election in Biafra again. Kindly abide by his instructions, we shall duly impose a sole administrator on you in person of Hausa/ Fulani as your governor.

I stand to refuse your claim. If a referendum is conducted and the UN is totally involved in it,properties will never be lost because there must be a round-table discussion on the way forward. I know this is the plan of the Arewa and Afenifere pple to reap without sowing hence the threat for igbos to leave the north and the Oba of lagos to throw his fam..y into the lagoon. A lazy man don't consider his father's properties and waiting for him to die,instead of the Arewa and Afenifere to think of how to build up a country of their own,they are busy looking at the properties of others. May those who are waiting to own properties through this means never live to see the country divide.
