jpphilips:even if you want me to believe your claim of conspiracy, the onus is on kanu or orji uzor kalu to announce it openly by their words or actions. kanu is handicapped by his bail conditions while orji uzor kalu has been quiet. IPOB is going ahead with their planned remembrance day (which is a precursor to the proposed referendum) which I think kanu would've stopped if he has been compromised. as for me, I will continue to trust kanu till the day he contests election in Nigeria like ojukwu did. |

jpphilips:35 Eritrea was part of Ethiopia, a federal State that had existed since 1952. Following the overthrow of Mengistu Haile Mariam in Ethiopia and the military liberation of Eritrea by the Eritrea People’s Liberation Front, Ethiopia’s National Charter accepted the right of the Eritrean people to self-determination. The UN General Assembly authorized the Secretary- General to establish a UN Observer Mission to Verify the Referendum in Eritrea ( UNGA Res 47/114 [16 December 1992] ). The referendum, held on 23–25 April 1993, resulted in a 99.81% vote for independence, which was declared on 24 May 1993. Eritrea was admitted to membership in the United Nations by General Assembly Resolution 47/230 of 28 May 1993 . 36 A UN-organized referendum to decide whether East Timor would secede from Indonesia took place in August 1999. The overwhelming vote of the population for independence ended 25 years of Indonesian occupation ( Security Council Resolutions 1246 of 11 June 1999 and 1272 of 25 October 1999 ). 37 A UN proposal for the reunification of Cyprus (the ‘Annan Plan’) was rejected in a referendum held on 24 April 2004. The Plan was approved by the Turkish Cypriot Community and rejected by the Greek Cypriot Community, thus making it null and void. 38 On 27 June 1990, the Security Council adopted Resolution 658 endorsing a proposal for a ceasefire between Morocco and the Frente Polisario, and the holding of a referendum under UN auspices to enable the people of Western Sahara to choose between independence and integration with Morocco. No progress has been made since to implement this resolution. 39 For Cassese (68 n 2), ‘the crucial importance of the UN for the development of the international law of self-determination is obvious and is linked to the fact that this principle could not emerge and take shape without UN action and scrutiny’. |

Eritrea was part of Ethiopia, a federal State that had existed since At Independence, Eritrea was a loose federation with Ethiopia, independent administrative and judicial structure, had its own flag, and control over its domestic affairs, including police, local administration, and taxation. The federal government, which for all intents and purposes was the existing imperial government, was to control foreign affairs (including commerce), defense, finance, and transportation. The country was didvided from independence, it is not quintessential to the Nigerian situation, Even when the Emperor of Ethiopia dissolved the Eritrean assembly, they fought for over 30yrs and ELP won the central Ethiopian government and took Addis Ababa. Your Biafra fought Nigeria for 3yrs and surrendered, apples and oranges. No comparison. FAIL!! 36 A UN-organized referendum to decide whether East Timor would East timor was already an independent state by 1975, later annexed by indonesia, comparing that with Nigeria and Biafra is definitely a wet dream. Another fail!! 37 A UN proposal for the reunification of Cyprus (the ‘Annan Plan’) was Cyprus was already independent as a country by 1960 later invaded by Turkey, how does it compare to Biafra as a break away state from Nigeria? Another collosal fail!! Incase you forgot the question I asked, where in the world has civil disobedience and Boycott of civil responsibilities led to a national referendum? Where in the world has a country broken out from a country using a UN declaration ? It is unfortunate that I sincerely thought you are an IPOB with a brain, yet you don't know the difference between a UN declaration and a UN resolution. This is a pitiably shameful really. 2 Likes 1 Share |

donborg: I am glad you admitted Ojukwu contesting election in Nigeria is madness, you want orji uzor Kalu to talk to the press to prove he helped Kanu? Did you really say that? Who is Kanu to join issues with Kalu? Thats an insult, Nnamdi Kanu is a scion of motor park touts, shoe makers and casera hawkers. Who is he in the scheme of things? |

jpphilips:you can't compare a freedom fighter with a politician whom we all know stole abia people's money as governor. we all know how he became an errand boy to buhari after EFCC started investigating him! |

donborg: Orji uzor kalu being an elite doesnt make him any less corrupt dont get me wrong, nevertheless, we are particularly interested in who an individual is in the society and the influence he wields, such he has proved on Nnamdi kanu's life, make no mistakes about that. I rather believe the influence of an Elite like Orji uzor than a nobody like kanu a mere radio trasmitting champion!!. |
