To those Ipob cannibals shouting: “no lefelendum, no erection”, do you know what the requirements are when it comes to getting a new country? Well, here are some (not all) the rules:

Adopted by the Seventh International Conference of American States, the convention stipulated that all states were equal sovereign units consisting of a permanent population, defined territorial boundaries, a government, and an ability to enter into agreements with other states.

Below is also the montevideo convention of 1933, held in Uruguay:



States in international law

Although states are not the only entities with international legal standing and are not the exclusive international actors, they are the primary subjects of international law and possess the greatest range of rights and obligations. Unlike states, which possess rights and obligations automatically, international organizations, individuals, and others derive their rights and duties in international law directly from particular instruments. Individuals may, for example, assert their rights under international law under the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, both of which entered into force in 1976.
Statehood

Creation of states

The process of creating new states is a mixture of fact and law, involving the establishment of particular factual conditions and compliance with relevant rules. The accepted criteria of statehood were laid down in the Montevideo Convention (1933), which provided that a state must possess a permanent population, a defined territory, a government, and the capacity to conduct international relations.


The need for a permanent population and a defined territory is clear, though boundary disputes—e.g., those concerning Albania after World War I and Israel in 1948—do not preclude statehood. The international community (including the UN) has recognized some states while they were embroiled in a civil war (e.g., the Congo in 1960 and Angola in 1975), thus eroding the effective-government criterion. Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina were also recognized as new states by much of the international community in 1992, though at the time neither was able to exercise any effective control over significant parts of its territory. Although independence is required, it need not be more than formal constitutional independence.

States may become extinct through merger (North and South Yemen in 1990), absorption (the accession of the Länder [states] of the German Democratic Republic into the Federal Republic of Germany in 1990), dissolution and reestablishment as new and separate states (the creation of separate Czech and Slovak republics from Czechoslovakia in 1993), limited dismemberment with a territorially smaller state continuing the identity of the larger state coupled with the emergence of new states from part of the territory of the latter (the Soviet Union in 1991), or, historically, annexation (Nazi Germany’s Anschluss of Austria in 1938).
Recognition


Recognition is a process whereby certain facts are accepted and endowed with a certain legal status, such as statehood, sovereignty over newly acquired territory, or the international effects of the grant of nationality. The process of recognizing as a state a new entity that conforms with the criteria of statehood is a political one, each country deciding for itself whether to extend such acknowledgment. Normal sovereign and diplomatic immunities are generally extended only after a state’s executive authority has formally recognized another state (see diplomatic immunity). International recognition is important evidence that the factual criteria of statehood actually have been fulfilled. A large number of recognitions may buttress a claim to statehood even in circumstances where the conditions for statehood have been fulfilled imperfectly (e.g., Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992). According to the “declaratory” theory of recognition, which is supported by international practice, the act of recognition signifies no more than the acceptance of an already-existing factual situation—i.e., conformity with the criteria of statehood. The “constitutive” theory, in contrast, contends that the act of recognition itself actually creates the state.


Before granting recognition, states may require the fulfillment of additional conditions. The European Community (ultimately succeeded by the EU), for example, issued declarations in 1991 on the new states that were then forming in eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and Yugoslavia that required, inter alia, respect for minority rights, the inviolability of frontiers, and commitments to disarmament and nuclear nonproliferation. The timing of any recognition is crucial—particularly when a new state has been formed partly from an existing one. Premature recognition in a case of secession can amount to intervention in a state’s internal affairs, a violation of one of the fundamental principles of international law. Recognition of governments is distinguished from the recognition of a state. The contemporary trend is in fact no longer to recognize governments formally but to focus instead upon the continuation (or discontinuation) of diplomatic relations. By this change, states seek to avoid the political difficulties involved in deciding whether or not to “recognize” new regimes taking power by nonconstitutional means.

Although states are not obliged to recognize new claimants to statehood, circumstances sometimes arise that make it a positive duty not to recognize a state. During the 1930s, U.S. Secretary of State Henry Stimson propounded the doctrine of the nonrecognition of situations created as a result of aggression, an approach that has been reinforced since the end of World War II. In the 1960s, the UN Security Council “called upon” all states not to recognize the Rhodesian white-minority regime’s declaration of independence and imposed economic sanctions. Similar international action was taken in the 1970s and ’80s in response to South Africa’s creation of Bantustans, or homelands, which were territories that the white-minority government designated as “independent states” as part of its policy of apartheid. The Security Council also pronounced the purported independence of Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus as “legally invalid” (1983) and declared “null and void” Iraq’s annexation of Kuwait (1990). The UN also has declared that Israel’s purported annexation of the Golan Heights (conquered from Syria in 1967) is invalid and has ruled similarly with regard to Israel’s extension of its jurisdiction to formerly Jordanian-controlled East Jerusalem.

I find 2 of the requirements for attaining a country interesting:
— There must be a defined territory
— The formation of a government


Now, does Ipob cannibals have a defined territory? Usually, they say Benue is biafla,,,,,,Edo is biafla,,,,,Rivers is biafla,,,,,cross river is biafla and so on. So we can see that Ipob and their hunchback leader are even confused as to what their true territorial boundaries are?

2ndly, has Ipob human eaters gotten the capacity to form a government? Have they been able to contest and win any elections in their undefined territories?

It baffles me how people keep losing sleep over Biafra

We began losing sleep over Biafran matters when you're IPOB terrorists started killing Nigerians.

OP those cannibals barbecuing our policemen will not respond to you positively

Yeah, the "cannibals" will respond to you and your riffraff friend squatting in his father's hut in Obomoso and throwing tantrums and he will declare Biafra from his 2by2 palour.

Shame no dey for una skull. Everyday same yoonity begging. No single Igbo man has become pro-Biafran since all this fruitless yoonity begging propaganda campaign. Even those few sitting on the fence see the way you insult Igbos and do the needful.

Continue instulting us and still begging for unity from the people you hate and insult every single day. When you tire, you face the hunger and squalor and terrorism that is at the brink of wiping away your shithole Nigeria.

Yoonity beggar, still begging on this thread. No shame. I wonder what will happen to your self confidence when Igbos leave. Hope all of you will not just give up on your lives
