Dear Arinze,

Thank you for your feedback. I am not sure the Lagos Police Command is using ethnic profiling to rid Lagos State of crime. The nine kidnappers recently killed after killing many Lagosians were neutralised by the police after residents of Ladipo tipped the police. The police did not even initiate it. And there was a spontaneous celebration after the police neutralised these marauders. You can see it in the now viral video.

However, you may have access to more accurate information than I do and I urge you to publish any evidence to that effect.

As to seaports, I know for a fact that both Port Harcourt and Onne Port are working and are open to importers and exporters without any restrictions. There is no federal government embargo on any port.

In fact, a week ago, the Nigerian Customs Service seized a cache of illegal arms at that port. Onne Port has the capacity to receive very large ships. These are both in Rivers State. However, if you have any proof that the ports in Port Harcourt are closed, please make it public.

But even beyond that, states can build ports. Why have the states you are referring to not built their own ports? The Lekki Port and the Lekki Free Trade Zone is an initiative of Lagos State. If you do not like Lagos, then build your own ports. Nobody is stopping you!

Finally, on the issue of referendum, it is not in our Constitution. And the reason is simple.

The idea for a secession clause was mooted by Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 1954, during the Lagos Constitutional Conference, but Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it and galvanised a majority of the conference attendees to kill the idea. 

After this was rejected, Chief Awolowo again wrote to the then Governor General of Nigeria, who rejected the clause on the grounds that the majority, led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, were not in support of it. 

It was because of Nnamdi Azikiwe that section 86 was inserted into our constitution with the proviso that if any region should secede, it will be an act of treason. 

Nnamdi Azikiwe himself wrote about this in an essay, which was published by the New Nigerian Newspapers in 1975, and has since been republished by other papers and by Mr Azikiwe himself. 

Were it not for Azikiwe, Biafra would have had the legal right to secede. 

Thanks again, and may God bless you.

I don't think Reno bothered to tell people like you that the independence constitution he is talking about has been done away with since 1963

He also doesn't want to tell people that he ran to his X account to claim that the leader of the the alleged Kidnappers was released from jail by IPOB, even though nobody, including him, knows who the leader of the men is

He then talks about secession as if Nigeria is not a signatory to the laws of self determination, domesticated into the Nigerian constitution, that allows anyone, or any group, to seek independence from Nigeria

WizardOfNG:
IPOB folks are very emotional, self-deceptive and naturally revisionist people who lie with ease and therefore need their outlandish lies debunked robustly with superior and factual proof always.

No one better at setting them straight, and dismantling their lies, than Reno Omokri.

.....and Late Ben Nwabueze wrote the Unification Decree of 1966 for General Ironsi which effectively took away Regions rights to control their natural resources.
