"A Country Can Never Be Within A Country", But Swaziland & Lesotho Are Within SA by gidgiddy: 11:35am On May 07, 2021 |
When the issue of Biafra and Oduduwa comes up, you will hear some people, particularly Northern Nigerians, say "A country can never be within a country" If this is true, then how come Swaziland and Lesotho are inside South Africa? Swaziland and Lesotho are two independent countries that are encircled by South Africa. Both countries have their own constitution, national anthems, monetary currency( Lesotho uses Loti while Swaziland uses Lilangeni). They even have their own military. Lesotho got independence in 1966 while Swaziland got independence in 1968. Whoever said that a country can never be within a country, is talking nonsense. |

Thank you op. The next thing they will say is that Biafra is landlocked. As if Nigeria is better than most landlocked countries. I'm tired of hearing all these nonsense. |

iammo: Come and take one Budweiser.. I have said it time and time again, they are going about it the wrong way. I am an Igbo man and it is glaring how marginalised and hated the Igbo nation is. No doubt Nnamdi Kanu has awakened Igbos to the need to have its own nation but his methods are further hurting the Igbo nation the more |

HONESTFACT101: Honestly only a dumb Idiot would leave lawmakers whose only job is to make laws regarding referendum and start disturbing everyone else without the Constitutional responsibility of creating law It's only a fool that would leave an hospital only to seek treatment at a police station . 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nbote: I wish I could give you the link of the communique released by Ohaneze Ndigbo women association... Those mothers and women gave practical solutions to all this issues and offered meaningful solutions, but I guess since they are women, nothing is been said about it . |

iammo:Did your 1999 constitution come about by constitutional means? Does the military have the legal rights to create a constitution for democratic governments? |
Re: "A Country Can Never Be Within A Country", But Swaziland & Lesotho Are Within SA by iammo(m): 2:19pm On May 07, 2021 |
2elliot:. 1999 Constitution was a product of National Constitutional Conference of 1994- 1995 supervised by European Union, and in the year 1999 Supreme Military Council the Federal authority recognised under International law headed by Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar, gave a decree effecting the usage of 1999 constitution . |

gidgiddy: Pa Enahoro the representative of Midwest region of British Protectorate of Nigeria and a Lawmaker raised a motion in the house for Nigeria to have an Independent Republic devoid of interference from British influence, Sir Ahmadu Bello the representative and lawmaker of Nothern region of British Protectorate of Nigeria opposed it stating that Nigeria was not matured yet for self rule.. Arguements ensure and Obafemi Awolowo seconded the motion raised by Pa Enahoro, which lead to a lamakers vote.. and Pro Nigeria independent lawmakers won . This led to British setting up Nigerian Constitutional Conference in 1958-59 and also independence committee, by 1960 we got indendence and 1961 we became a republic |

owobokiri:GEJ should have worked towards a SNC immediately he became the president of Nigeria. Instead, he said "There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian constitution and there was nothing to talk about". |
Re: "A Country Can Never Be Within A Country", But Swaziland & Lesotho Are Within SA by gidgiddy: 5:33pm On May 07, 2021 |
iammo: Oh I see. Pa Enahoro moved a motion with a constitution written by the British in a country him and his ancestors never agreed to be part of in the first place? We Igbos are not going to move any motion with a constitution Abubakar wrote in his bedroom, in a country us and our ancestors never agreed to be part of in the first place |
