baralatie: Those countries have nothing to do with me same as they have nothing to do with you. We are talking about Nigeria here. The case here is that Nigeria was illegally created by Lugard and this act of fraud has to be reversed by giving the ethnic nationalities that make up Nigeria the opportunity to say what they want by way of referendum. You can go about saying you are a Nigerian just because Lord Lugard came from Europe to tell you so. 2 Likes |

baralatie: Anybody that has seen war will never opt for that option. It's an insane proposition to successful and not so successful people. I'll spare the details of war and just call this bragado. Even war does not guarantee you a favorable result. 1 Like 1 Share |

baralatie: The 'sovereinghty' you are talking about is illegal if it was stolen. Lord Lugard stole the sovereinghty of the indigenous people of a West Africa in other to create Nigeria and this renders the union of Nigeria and its constitution illegal. The only way to right this wrong is a referendum 2 Likes |

HiddenShadow: By now you should have learned there is no such thing as a UN referendum without war, carnage, massacre for years. In the case of the only one done, it took 30 years of war in Sudan. And war still is no guarantee for a UN referendum. Read people!!! |

zendy:As it stands !the whole Africa consists of 3000 ethnicities in 53 countries created by the same British colonialist.It has everything to do with you! And the colonialist set up your country boundaries to form a knit boundaries country to country neighbours! The funny thing is your great,great ancestors tried to fight them off,they carried stones,and the only cutlass and guns became a problem because the colonial masters were the ones selling the Dane guns for slaves.your ancestors tried witchcraft and it did not work,your ancestors went to shrines to beg their gods to kill these colonials that did not work. Instead the ancestors were dying like chickens. The next things virtually everybody became loyal and started signing treaties and that is has it all went down. Nothing you can do about.at least they got tired and again called your representatitives,signed agreement again and you know independent! So what is your problem? 1 Like |

Super1Star: I know the truth is hard to accept but Nigerians like you should start accepting. It's is not Lord Lugards job to come to from Europe,proclaim you a 'Nigerian' and give you your country. If you want Nigeria, you must ask the indigenous people like the Igbos, Ijaws,Efiks etc who have lived on their lands for tnousands what they want via referendum. Just because Lord came to west Africa the other day, you now tell these indigenous people that they are now named after a River? I laugh in Igbo. Sorry but you have no country. What you have is a forced Union and no forced Union ever lasts long 2 Likes |

kayfra: And you think Kanu has not set in motion such Let me tell you his game plan If Nigeria fails to treat Igbos well , all Igbos will accept his view to breakout forcefully This will see lots of Igbos invest in his idea leading to a forceful breakout That's why Nigeria should negotiate now that there is time before it is late |

baralatie: I'm an Igbo man. My ancestors never signed any document to become Nigerians, infact, we actually fought the British in the Ekumeku war and the Arochukwu war. Nobody signed anything to be Nigerians. Even the Kings of the Ijaws, the Ibibios and even Yorubas only signed treaties of trade and protection with the British. None of them ever gave up their sovereignty. If you want Nigeria, then that is fine, but you must not force anyone to be nigerian with you. That why a referendum must be conducted to undo the sacrilege commited by Lugard when he made us all Nigerians against our will 3 Likes 2 Shares |
