Why not let the Igbo go then

Tell your kinsmen to stop antagonizing our struggle, we have always wanted to stay on our own.
Ebonyi is there for us in terms of agriculture, Imo and Enugu, den of entertainment and tourism, Anambra and Abia, China of Africa, you see, we've got nothing to fear.
So, we can't be working on a fruitless country.

I agree and like your intelligent clarification on the subject. Im curious about the bolded.

Define sovereignty in the sense you presented and fitted it in here.
Before the colonial era, our empires and towns still enjoy sovereignty.. The tradition was the constitution then. They exhibit vital features of a sovereign state; they have their own military, they have their own structure of government etc. The military protect their territorial integrity and they are lead by the monarch.

They stopped being one immediately after the British invasion...our territorial integrity was breeched ... We no longer make the decision..

You feel like Biafran referendum would go the same was as the Brexit referendum?
How Biafra referendum will go, i don't know... So currently now i am not feeling anything i am only curious of how you will get the federal government to conduct a referendum for Biafra...

The possibility is very narrow... Freedom is not given, it is taken.

Do you think Nigeria will eventually resolve theses issues or break apart?

A better Nigeria will never be achieved with the current approach to governance... Nigeria was broken immediately after independence but we seem not to know... Our colonial masters plan towards the amalgamation of the southern and northern protectorate was not meant to metamorphosed into a country....

I think that BREXIT and the current agitation are similar in terms of the fact that it is an agitation where a group of people want to leave a political union for something new

Where they differ is that while Britain is a sovereign nation, Biafra isn't.

The lesson Brexit should teach Nigerians is that everybody has the right to decide where they want to be. "One Nigeria" is nothing but "unity by force"
The whole of Britain voted by a referendum on Brexit. Can we following the same method? Will you accept the outcome?
Re: Can You Compare Biafra To Brexit? by wowcatty:
Nice try conditioning the minds of the gullible but not so fast, there's no difference between the system the English left with us and the one they practice themselves. And sovereignty is exactly what it says. Nigeria is not using the constitution we all agreed on, what is being used is military decree and it's within the regions rights to break free now since all agreements have been broken and it's just a matter of courage for the "geographical expression area" to break. For example, if millions of Yoruba youths can hit the streets of Yorubaland and cripple all activities for weeks and invite journalists from across the world to cover it live. How many can Nigeria soldiers kill on cameras before we have international "peacekeeping forces" at our doorsteps? That exactly what is in the works as a group is bringing the world attention to why liberation needs to come to Yorubaland. That Nigeria can't divide is a wishful thinking, there's nothing in this world bound by any law that can hold people against their will when ready or force them to be with others especially when the agreement has been broken.

Brexit isn't about freedom... European union (i mean the rest of the countries in EU) benefits from United Kingdom and United Kingdom benefit from them as well... This is more like a mutual benefit...

People only clamor for freedom when they are in slavery. In the case of Brexit. It's more like a divorce

Brexit is more like a contract termination and you know contracts are bounded by agreements..

Even the case of Biafra can not be likened to that of the United Kingdom because every nation in the UK are bounded by an act that is boldly represented in the constitution therefore can be separated by same act in the constitution...

In the case of biafra there is no constitution binding the regions... Our constitution was created after the amalgamation in 1914... So we started as a sovereign state together. The major issue now is simply because none of the regions exhibit total sovereignty before amalgamation. This is the major reason while any advocacy for a breakup can be treated as treasonous by the federal government

I honestly want referendum drafted into the constitution so the ibos can go with their four states....honestly look at the economic data....these people contribute nothing but mass migration to our lands.....we need their visa money and increased taxes as most will still want to stay in Nigeria even as immigrants.
Shut up your mouth.. I am Niger Delta and it's not only the Igbos that wants out
Re: Can You Compare Biafra To Brexit? by orisa37: 9:09am On Mar 29, 2019
Britain out = Brexit. Meaningful.
Biafra would have international meaning as "Igbexit or Ibexit"(Ibo or Igbo out).
Simply Biafra is unconstitutional, uncontractual, unconventional, illegal, uncivilised and completely allien.

Uncivilised to call for national freedom.

This seems like thinly veiled tribalism

Tell them.

I have often wondered intensely at the extent to which the majority of Nigerians are blind to history and the hard facts of their own political evolution.
Nigeria was a business centre of the British, nothing more; nothing less!
Those who set it up never intended that it be mistaken for what it never was.

Very well articulated.
You are obviously among the few who are not tied at the head like a sack of garri by the false logic of the pseudo intellectuals of the Nigerian media sphere.

Just picture a sack of garri in your visualization, tied up with a cord at the head (or rather mouth ) of the sack, and then replace the sack still in your visualization with a figuration of the Nigerian populace still tied at the head with a cord!
There you have it!
The unfortunate metaphor of our time and clime
Re: Can You Compare Biafra To Brexit? by YellowSimba(op): 6:53am On Mar 31, 2019
Do you mind me asking what part of Nigeria are you from?


How widespread is this sentiment outside of the Igbos.

Fighting for freedom is the work of every Biafra's not only Nnamdi kanu .my fellow Biafra's. if you study Yoruba history very well,you will see this people have already been cursed by their fellow Yoruba who they betray back then.the man placed a curse on the Yoruba race that the only thing they will be good at is gossiping, backbiting, wickedness,evil and many unimaginable things.Yoruba people don't have any brain to do anything on their own, they want all of us to remain in a visionless country called nizooria so that they can continue their generation curse/talent of gossip and backbiting on us.my fellow Biafra's He be like say Hausa/Fulani terrorist tribe and their Yoruba gossipers tribe can't survived without Igbo in their hell fire called nizooria because the way they attack Igbo on Biafra issue is getting out of hand
