I Laugh In Biafra! A Mere Motion Of Aknowledgement To The Petiton By Biafrans In The UK. UK Will Ony Debate On It When Her Interest In Nigeria Is Over In The Year 9030. Its Good To Lap On Some Trigger Happy News Sometimes, Isn't It?

only 2 MPs signed.

You all think england will allow you guys go.

Leopardd:


It means that as the world's most civilized country, they have had our petitions and a little more push they will debate it and just like they allowed Scotland hold a referendum, they will use their authorities to compel Nigeria to.

6 months ago, I don't think the UK parliament could have ever raised the topic of Biafra, talkless of thinking of debating about it.

don't get yourself worked up. Check the link again and see that it's only 2 people that signed for the motion which means it's going nowhere.

but I believe this time last year, something of that could never be raised on that floor.

One step at a time, like someone said on fb, this isn't a full house, they are working to get some more MPs to help push it to the full house.
Common sense will prevail. Don't think this is nothing, for the fact some people worked to get the issue there, they could also work to push it a bit higher. IPOB is not all about noise, we have educated connected people doing behind the scenes work.
