Even if I hate KANU( which can never happen), his boldness and tenacity to librarate his people is enough reason for me to appreciate him. See how every Igbo man is now waking up from his slumber. Nnamdi KANU, may God bless you for this beautiful seed you planted. All unity beggars that said over their dead body would they allow Biafra to come should prepare to witness Biafra independence from their respective graves. 265 Likes 31 Shares |

Now you are talking. All those macabre zombie dance on the streets of your gully eroded land was mere early morning jogging exercise. The constitution needs to be amended and will be amended. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

This is what they should have been doing all along instead of insulting and cursing everyone they imagine didn't share their values and dreams. I pray this thing comes to pass soonest, but I fear the idiots have burned so many bridges it might remain a mirage getting their way through democratic means. 24 Likes 1 Share |

Kondomatic: Whatever motivated him to speak is his business. The fundamentals is that constitution review to recognise national confab, referendum, plebiscite and secession is the ONLY WAY to go. Threat of secession will not move anybody, because it is an Armageddon even Nnamid Kunnu, the Merlin of Biafrau.d will not dare to venture into. At last you are all coming to your senses. As far back as April 1994 we told all of you restructuring is the only way. Rather than support it, all the regions went against it and you are now all back to the same square 1 we provided as the only solution 23years ago. This is was the Yorubas advise 23years ago that you are all just coming to terms with: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “We are convinced that the cause of Nigeria’s federalism will be well and truly advanced if we return to the pre-1996 evolutionary path: a balanced federal structure which recognises fully the legitimate claims of all ethnic groups for self-determination and where no single entity among the federating units will be strong or powerful enough to hold the others to ransom, but where each of the federating units is large enough, both in terms of size and population as well as of resources, to be viable, self-reliant and dynamic. Other relevant factors include the homogeneity of each federating unit, geographic contiguity among the units of a region and demonstrable willingness to be together. In pursuance of the principle of self-determination and in the interest of the sustainability, any state or community shall have the opportunity to decide, through the democratic process, the region of its choice in the light of these criteria. In the light of the foregoing criteria, we propose the restructuring of Nigeria into six federating units to be known as Regions. The six regions shall be Western, Eastern, Southern, North-Western, North-Eastern and Middle Belt Regions. The Western Region will group together the following states: Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun and Oyo and all other Yoruba-speaking communities wherever they may be in the Federation. The states that will constitute the other regions will be decided by their people subject to the observation of the principle of self-determination”. With the restructuring into six viable and potentially dynamic and prosperous regions, individually and collectively serving as a countervailing force to the centralising tendencies of the centre, Nigeria will be constituted a Federation of six Regions. 44 Likes 5 Shares |

The Afonjas thought our senators and reps don't have the guts to bring up the issue of Biafra in the National Assembly Whether Nigeria accepts or rejects Referendum, the Igbos will get their Referendum because God has set His heart to liberate them.

Thanks to Nnamdi Kanu who has liberated these men from intimidation of the one Nigeria chanters But is unfortunate that like the south East development bill this too shall be thrown away by the house dominated with hausa/fulani and hailed by the Yorubas.

Super1Star: Why are they discussing referendum now? Its common sense u dont sit tight in the comfort of ur bed and demand for referendum. Someone has to take to the street to prove to the world he isn't just ok with current arrangement cos some persons are hell bent on keeping Nigeria down and anyone against their interests. Street agitation is gradually paying off. Seems they dont take people serious in this country without one having to display a bit of obstinacy 24 Likes 1 Share |

However, when contacted, the Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Abdulrazak Namdas, said, “The National Assembly is for all Nigerians. It is a representative assembly and every Nigerian is represented here. “Whatever the grievances are, channel them through your representatives and they will be adequately addressed.” How is the south east development commission bill adequately addreseed if I may ask abdulrazak? This time, the issue of referendum must be inserted in that nonsensical constitution. There's notin else to addresss through any representative. 28 Likes 3 Shares |

According to Nnamdi Kanu, he said that at the end Biafra will win because Biafra is a spirit. even a new born biafra baby has that spirit in him. Like play like play questions would be asked and later the untouchable would be touched, and finally the impossible would be possible in Nigeria. Better join the moving train before its too late. I love you Nnamdi Kanu, and good one from our representatives because when you listen and stand by the people you represent you don't need to pay or bribe for them to vote for you to retain your office. God bless lovers of freedom. 59 Likes 8 Shares |
