BREXIT – The Global Lessons by Nobody: 6:30am On Jun 27, 2016
The level of civility and passion involved
in the BREXIT referendum is in many
ways awe inspiring. While BREXIT is not
without its challenges, it is reminiscent of
the fact that people have the rights to self-determination regardless of their
geopolitical affiliations. The big lesson
here is that any ethnic nationality should
be able to exit any geopolitical
amalgamation whenever the union
becomes detrimental to their primary interests.
However, the argument exists; the EU is
not a sovereign national entity but a
collection of 28 sovereign nationalities.
Let’s not forget the possible parallel of
the EU model to the nearly 200 sovereign nations of the world. In many cases,
ethnic nationalities were forced together
by a more powerful imperial overlord for
the purpose of serving the imperialists’
economic interests. In few instances, the
different nationalities decide to merge by choice for strategic expediency.
Self-determination is the intrinsic human
characteristic that explains the rise of
separatism in the age of globalization.
The question is not which of the two is
better, or which of the two phenomena will sustain in the long run. Although the
scale is tipped so much for globalization,
separatism is a necessary
counterbalance and a force of
moderation. Populism and separatism is
here to stay, the world can only expect more of it. You may not subscribe to this
concept; it is only human nature to resist
change and be afraid of separation.
Nobody like goodbyes, but there is an
incredible measure of opportunity in
adversity. Because different ethnic nationalities
has lived in a coerced union for a very
long time should not deprive the people
the reasonable rights to peacefully undo
the forced merger. We cannot be
oblivious to the fact that the sovereignty of the ethnic nationalities was first
violated to pave the way for the
amalgamation. Whether it is in Africa, the
Americas, Asia, Australia, Europe, or
Oceania, the people reserve the rights to
peaceful exit and self-determination. Goodbyes are not painless; the BREXIT
have its immense socio-economic
impacts. Instead of bloodletting and
acrimonious coexistence, it is better for
people to get together and work out the
modalities of their peaceful and cordial separation. After all, it is better to gain a
friend from the outside than to keep an
enemy within. When it is all said and
done, BREXIT will remain the model for
hundreds of ethnic nationalities seeking
to unplug from their current state affiliations.

The amount the world has lost due to Brexit is about $2 trillion so far. More than UK ever gave the EU. Moral of the story: Nations are better together than apart!

I agree with you that is a lesson for our Biafra brother who rather choose protest than soliciting for a peaceful referendum. It is worthy to note the same UK that voted to leaves EU economically, voted in 2014 to stay as a united block. In scotland. Even the analysis of the recent referendum, suggested that majority of voters from scotland extract preferred UK to remain in EU. The Brexit would be liken to Nigeria voting to pull out from ECOWA.

Together the stronger.

I don't even know it has reach all high $2 trillion. Thank you bringing this to fore. Those pushing for Biafra would not explain this negative implication to the followers. That is how they deceive some with half truth. Flooding the space with what they like the people to hear not what the people should know.

Brits re already regretting their actions. They re strongly considering a 2nd referendum. Many of her citizens never knew how Brexit ll negatively affect them. The reality is beginning to dawn on them! Scotland now wants to pullout of Britain to join the EU!
