The Question That Should Be Asked During The Biafran Referendum by attackgat: 10:43am On Jun 21, 2021 |
Referendums usually come in the form of a question. When a referendum is held, two things are vital. The question and answer must clear and unambiguous. During the Scottish referendum of 2014, the question that was put to Scotland was - Should Scotland be an independent country?", which voters answered with "Yes" or "No". 55.3% of Scotland voted No, while 44.7% voted Yes. So Scotland remained with Britain Since Nigeria has no constitutionally recognised Regions, the Biafran referendum will have to be by Local Governments. I think the question that should be asked in the Biafran referendum should be - Should your Local Governments become part of the proposed Republic Of Biafra? Yes or No The Local Governments that vote Yes by at least a 51% majority or more, will become the Republic Of Biafra 2 Likes |

attackgat: This doesn't sound right. What happens when a local government votes no but all the surrounding ones votes yes. I think the verdict should be by simple majority. 5 Likes |

attackgat: Most border local governments do not compose of a single dominant ethnicity. It will amount to perpetual crisis for anyone to drag such into any union other than that with other minorities. Such is Anioma and Obigbo. |

Igboid: https://www.nairaland.com/6609367/asaba-inlaw-whole-world-couldnt Asaba Man Responds On Facebook To Asaba Is Igbo Claims Asaba Inlaw: "In This Whole World You Couldn’t Find Anyone To Marry But An Igbo" Short story: One of my earliest and most persistent memories is this - near my village, 1 kilometer from Asaba, was a camp where people lived. Who are they I asked - “Wa bu Ndigbo” I was told. Translation: “They are Igbos”. I was confused. Aren’t we Igbos, but I said nothing. Another occasion I heard some commotion in the direction of the camp. Oh don’t be worried I was told. They are Igbos. Again so thought but we are igbos! Fast forward 3 decades. A friend of mine from Aba who married from Asaba, over a beer told me “I can’t get over Asaba people. During my native law, my wife’s people kept abusing her in the same language I spoke. They kept saying ‘so in this whole world, you couldn’t find anyone to marry but an Igbo?’” These are true accounts. People from my area… even the indigenes of ONITSHA (I’ve been told) consider themselves Not Igbo. I grew up seeing my people refer to others as “Those Igbo people”. I have just learnt that the phrase “Igbo enwere Eze” was coined by core Igbos to separate themselves from the Onitsha indigenes… Following that logic, Asaba nwere eze .... kedụ ka ọ ga-esi bụrụ igbo? ka anyi biri n’udo nwanne m nwoke m zuru ikpe m It’s not an issue to be swept under the carpet. We need to consider it seriously. Just because everyone in America speaks English doesn’t change their ancestry (some are of German, Italian, Russian, African, Chinese ancestry...). Ancestry can only be determined scientifically by DNA analysis. My sister discovered she has ancestors from Mali, Senega... of course!! The river Niger flows through those nations before it passes the shores of my village which sits on the West Bank of the Niger net Asaba. Bottom line, you cannot teach a man how to write with his left hand in old age. The real issue is why so many Igbo speaking people reject the idea they’re Igbo. (Like some Egyptians in an interview I watched - who can’t understand why they’re considered Africans at all!). Let’s have an academic discussion why! We may learn valuable lessons. ��♂️� Good morning. |

Some Niger Deltans feel smart by letting the two major regions take the secession lead before they follow, not realising that they'll have a big systemic hurdle to face as soon as their country is born just as hidden and dissenting political roles begin to arise. |

spearman: Keep decieving yourself with long useless stories like this one. After blaming igbos for the first coup plotted by an Asaba man, you turn around to manufacture stories from your dreams claiming the same Asaba is not igbo. You guys are shameless. Do you think that the Asaba people will forget the Asaba massacre by the nigerian troops? Shameless. 5 Likes |

mrvitalis: Who is scared? Are sure you understood my point. The op is trying to say that referendum should be on local government by Loca government basis, meaning that if there are local government that will vote No,at the end of the day we are going to have 'Nigeria' scattered within Biafra. So how does that sound to you Rather a single majority of the whole enclave should carry the day except you guys are talking about non igbos that are mainly at the periphery. 1 Like |

I'm sure before the Scottish referedum, the Scottish that wanted out thought that most of the Scottish wanted out of Great Britain. Only for the referendum to take place and they discovered that they were the minority (only 44.7% of them).. If the referendum comes right now, majority of Igbos will vote to stay put in Nigeria. |
