Referendum was conducted in 1961 to allow the British Cameroons, who were too small to be a country, to decide what they wanted. North British Cameroons voted to be part of Nigeria while the South voted to join Republic of Cameroon.

In 1963, there was another referendum where a disputed part of the Western Region who were not Yoruba decided they wanted their own separate Region. Over 80% voted to be separated from the Western Region and the new Region became known as the Midwest Region. After the war, this Midwest Region was called Bendel state and in the early 90's, it was further divided into Edo and Delta state.

Referendum is not new to Nigeria.

My point exactly. Not under the 1999 constitution. As far as the 1999 constitution as amended is concerned, the word referendum, though laudable, is a dead end

attackgat:


Restructuring is also not in the 1999 constitution, so why do you think some people clamour for it?

The constitution is not greater than the people, if the government and the political class of Nigeria decide that a referendum should be held, it will be.

adexway:


And who says government cares about the clamour? As long as the National Assembly do not accommodate referendum via constitutional amendment restructuring and other agitation will be a futile effort a waste of energy.
And who are the people? IPOB? Joke of the century! You guys should better find better ways to dissipate your energy.
