author=modik post=57327431] ....Premised on this assertion, why wont the frowning parties to any peaceful bilateral agreement for cessation, as a matter of remedy, frown at injustices and suppression meted out on Igbos in the present Nigeria setting ? 1 All eastern importers must come to clear goods from Apapa port while Port Harcourt port is concessioned to an individual northerner? Do you realize that the Portharcourt port is an inland waterway? 2. Nigeria would finance a coastal railway project with common wealth from federation account while Eastern rail route would be financed through a concession and the users of that route pays via tolling after contributing to coastal line financed with common wealth PPP is the Nigerian government's self defense strategy since they are unsure where their investments in the south east will end up, it is only wise to leave the SE in the hands of a concessionaire if they go ahead with their plans, so try and get the chronology right, it was demand for Biafra before PPP, you brought it upon yourself, no need to complain. 3. Third mainland bridge and every other major bridges in Nigeria is financed from federation account whereas 2nd Niger bridge is concessioned.? Same as before, you have yourself to blame, FG did not ask you to threaten the unity of the federation, every action has equal and opposite reaction, you don't tell me you want out and expect me to be investing in your place, that's madness. If you want out, then you must learn to do things for yourself. 4. Every 2 kms along the eastern highway is marked with roadblocks by Nigerian forces who impede smooth movement of goods and services vide stop and search in a non war situation while western and other major routes are free from such? You are grooming a rebel group capable of shutting down 5 South eastern states yet you don't expect some law enforcement presence? wow!! your thought process is unique! 5. No single representative from eastern block in the security council of Nigeria and that sounds right? You don't want a mole in your security apparatchik do you? by the way, there is a difference between what you "want" and what you "deserve". The question i need to ask you at this point is; do you deserve to be at the highest security clearance in Nigeria where your loyalty lies with biafra? Do you deserve to get such juicy positions from a government you oppose? I don't see republicans appointing folks from the Democrats neither do I see the conservatives appointing from the Labour party except in a coalition government which is nt the case here, I really don't understand where this sense of "entitlement" comes from. 10 Likes |

author=kingzizzy post=57330407] Im not a lawyer, but it is still within the rights of an independent Biafran nation to take Nigeria to for 'ownership rights' of its citizens. You don't need to be a lawyer to own common sense. Cameroon won Nigeria at the Hague on its ownership of the bakassi Peninsular, few months later, the cameroonian authorities flushed out Bakassi indigenes (Nigerians) with military force, they left with no broom, no shirt and not a single pin, you may clear all doubts of your ignorance here: http://allafrica.com/stories/201304010113.html Lets look at a worst case scenario. Lets just assume that Biafra gets independence and Nigeria decided to have no diplomatic relation with Biafra and moves to expel all Biafrans and sieze their assets and properties. The Biafran Government is most likely to take the Nigerian Government to court over illegal aquisition of assets. Has Nigeria taken Cameroon to court over Bakassi properties they took? has Biafra taken Nigeria to court over abandoned properties? has Igbos taken Nigeria to court over 20 pounds? if the answer is no, then your assumptions are baseless. The worst that will happen is that Biafra will seize Nigeria's oil assets in retaliation, Nigeria will send Burantai and his boys to reclaim our assets, it becomes an armed conflict, few years on, biafra will become south Sudan with over 2m dead and 6m refugees. A once prosperous region will be reduced to dust for heeding the advice of senior lvnatic Nnamdi Kanu. Nigeria may not want to sustain the conflict but outrightly destroying the oil fields as we saw in Iraq vs Kuwait during the Gulf war!! 1) No international investor will ever step foot in Nigeria ever again because it will be noteworthy international news that the Nigerian Government can sieze the assets of foreigners, without compensation, just for being foreigners You console yourself beyond the rights of ratiocinations, Cameroon evicted Nigerians over Bakassi, has that stopped foreign investors from investing in yaounde? Nigeria expelled ghanaians with no pin has it stopped MTN from coming? please get a grip over the lies you tell yourself 2)The existing international investors are most likely to liquidate their investments and leave. Investors dont like uncertainty. When the current investors realise that they are in a country where their investments can be siezed based on citizenship, none of them will feel safe about their investments Utter Crap!! you should be worrying about your propertyless and penniless self than some multi national conglomerate than can easily close shop and move elsewhere? who knows by that time, you and your ilks will be refugees on UNHCR corned beef feeding program. 3) The siezing of people assets and their expulsion is most likely to erode the image of Nigeria in the international community while attracting a lot of sympathy for Biafra. How much sympathy did Kwashiorkor struck biafran children attract in 1970 let alone a propertyless man on the street of Biafra, trust me the whole world will encourage you to move on as freedom is priceless, isn't that what you want? 4) It is quite possible that the UN might impose sanctions on Nigeria, especially if the international court rules against Nigeria ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A sanctioned Nigeria perhaps a few officials in Government, how does that return your properties? 15 Likes 6 Shares |

jpphilips:Your first paragraph is vague. Are you asking if aliens can challenge the rights of citizens of a country in that country? If that is your question I'd say very well so. Aliens can sue and be sued in a foreign country. Our case law is replete with such cases. As per your other paragraphs I do know just as I have indicated in my previous post that the right to self determination is a universally recognised right and if it were a crime Europe with at least 32 countries having secessionists movements would have become a seething cauldron of secessionists inspired wars but as far as I know that's not the situation in Europe presently. I get your position and I have made mine known too. No need for us going in circles. For what it's worth Biafra might or might not be. Cheers. 2 Likes |

You are correct to the extent that indeed the Government hold lands in trust for Nigerians since there sovereignty is derived from the people, but the law is clear by its letters and spirit that the its is the land purchaser and not the people that hold the land in trust for the government.

If the so called biafrans go without a proper exist strategy, they will lose in very harsh places. But I bet you they won't lose in Lagos. The reason is simple. Lagos has grown past gutter reason and ethnic stupidity of most black Africans. Modern Lagos (infrastructure) is being built by a lot of capital inflow from foreign banks. And the owners of this inflow are much wiser and operate at a level higher than your gutter mentality (vindictive my ass) Lagos elites and leaders along side the inflow owners will create a very conducive environment to make money for them self and their kids. Now the issue is, can you differentiate between a Biafran and other foreign investors? Yes maybe, by calling all of them terrorist. How do you prove that? It's likely going to be impossible, because it's a lie. Again what's specific law will say biafrans lose your properties and Chinese or Indians or Dutch or Americans don't lose. So my brother don't kid yourself... Lagos will still have modern laws like any other country because money knows no brother and must be made. Are you implying here that kanu is not alone in his quest for secession? of course it is no longer news, the part I find amusing is that all the groups you mentioned have commenced the process on the global stage except kanu who is stuck on the radio. most mind boggling how he enlisted the support of folks who are educated. You can't ask me to trust you when it you are selling your personal opinion, worse still, you didn't point to any verifiable fact in history that support your presumption. After the war in 1970, with a stroke of a pen, Nigeria seized all biafran funds in the bank left them with just 20 pounds, do you think there are no courts at the time? or you think the country went stand still because of the so called litigations that ensued? Abandoned property nko? This is what history taught me, in an event of a break up, Nigeria will get (let me borrow your words) "Punitive and Vindictive" because it is in their interest to do so, perhaps in 1970, it was convenient to take their money, today, it is convenient to take their properties, so yes Nigeria will respond in that manner, I am sure because it has happened before. So you should trust me not the other way round. I don't reside in Lagos, where I reside, it is not a walk in the park, like you said, experience varies.[/quote] 2 Likes 1 Share |

pazienza: Oga, as it stands Igbos aren't going no where. The dynamics at play as at today is different. If Igbos go, not only will Nigeria seize to exist, it will go up in flames. My reasons are simple 1. Ijaw will have a nation. They won't share with nobody. Where will the the rest of the Niger Deltans go? Apart from say cross river and Akwa Ibom, anioma and ik we're that may join their cousins the rest will be stranded. 2 or more factions will fight for them.. WAR 2. Boko haram will overrun the NE and northern Cameroon is less than 6 months. You don't want to know what will happen to the shites. It will be Iran and Saudi play ground. 3. A plateau man and never be in the same country with the Hausa Fulani. As we speak, they don't co exist. (In other words, they can not stay in the same street) 4. Point 3 above can be said of all other sub groups in the middle belt. 5. It will very difficult for a country with this kind of structure to separate. And the world won't allow 180M black salvages ravage by crises to disturb their peace. They haven't recovered with Syria yet. They may not be able to use force to stop Nigerian was flaming up like they did in the 60s but they are other means. 6. One of such means is to have a political solution. They did it in 97/98, and if they play that card well, Nigeria can manage another 30 years 7. Another card that can be played will be restructuring. Nigeria can be restructured and grouped into more like minds. In my opinion, restructuring can prolong disintegration by another 50 years and maybe by then we hope that one world order would have washed away our stupid cave like ethnic stupidity as I would like to call it 8. So my brother, you are pawns. Pawns being used to fight extreamly hard for disintegration while the strategist and owners of the world manage it. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

"He who goes to equity must go with clean hands" The investments were made before you asked for Biafra, without spelling out what becomes of those investments in a Biafran future, that alone will deter Nigeria from making future investments, what is wrong with that? Our oil investments in the east are all Jvs a type of PPP so I dont understand the whole pseudo sense of entitlement you are brandishing. If the causative factors of Biafra agitation is not addressed, are we to expect calm and tranquility among those ladened with yokes of subtle Biafra is not a solution to any of Nigeria's myriads of problems, rather it is a means to anarchy and death.

I can only guess. I don't know for sure what you mean. I am not for or against biafra so my arguments are not tinged with sentiments. If Biafra becomes a reality, fine. If it does not, fine. I just want to put down certain viewpoints. Shikena. The arguments from your side as I understand it is that once Biafra is declared, war will ensue and Biafrans will lose their status as citizens and as a consequence lose their property. And I opined and still opine that nothing is fixed. It's not black and white. RE : DOES SECESSION OF A COUNTRY MAKE AN INDIVIDUAL LOSE HIS PERSONAL PROPERTY? That's the topic once again. For you secession equals war. But I have a different opinion: secession does not necessarily mean war. Your opinions are ruled by just one thought: war, war, war. But I look at it broadly to say there might or might be no war. South Sudan was had without a war, was it? What of Czechslovakia, montenegro and Serbia, India/Pakistan? is it only through wars that nations secede? Though I readily concede that most secessions have been trailed by war but history proves that other nations have parted ways peacefully and at this point whatever is said now are just postulations. There might or might be no war in the event of the secession of Biafra. And whether war ensues or not there will be litigation in our courts up to the supreme Court on the status of citizens and their property rights. (I have cited Ojukwu case as a precedent and buttressed the fact that we are in a democratic setting not the military that ruled after the war) The fact that Nigeria has never lost a war is besides the point.

jpphilips: Take it or leave it, we live in a world where every citizen should not only be free but seen to be free. As a world citizen, I have an inalienable right to self determination. That right, is recognized globally. A state where a citizen would be seen but not to be heard is not the best for him, where equality is defined by quota system and not by meritocracy, is not the best place to be. I shouldn't remind you that this is 2017 and not 1967. The world has moved and we must move along. Violence is not the strategy (May 30th is on record). A country where sanctity of life is only on paper can never be a dream land of any forward looking citizen. (A section of the country has absolute right to take fellow citizen's lives at any slight provocation without being brought to book, while others protest peacefully/unarmed and are silenced with weapons acquired with tax payers money). A country where application of law is selective (different treatment for the rich and the poor)(African China's song comes to mind), hmmm A country where citizens for over 50 years pay for darkness instead of electricity, is heart rending! Above all, a country where unity is by force without the tenets of equity and equality is not fit for humans. Re-think! 2 Likes 1 Share |

gohome:Interesting points you have raised here. Let's discuss. And my viewpoint might differ from yours but as matured people let's keep it civil and polite. On your eight points I have always believed that it's virtually impossible for Nigeria to split into two and I regard those who take such a view as being too simplistic and naive in their thinking. In a different thread on this Biafran issue I did posit that Nigeria as a geographical space is what is holding this country together. Once that band snaps all the inherent ethnic fissures and fault lines would give way and the whole nation will go to pieces. But I discern that despite your calls for restructuring, despite that you seem to believe that Nigeria will split into more than one piece you still believe that it is inevitable that Nigeria splits. Why do you think so? Nigeria is a key geopolitical player as far as Africa is concerned. She shoulders lots of responsibility and I do not think that the world powers will countenance her going to pieces. It is in their interest that Nigeria remains as a piece. Think of the possible monumental humanitarian crisis with spill over effects. Sierra Leone is still healing, Liberia, Cote D'ivoire too, Ghana, Togo, Benin are very small. So who'd absorb the spill over? Psychologically Igbos have become schizorphrenics as far as national identity and loyalty is concerned and it's bad for them as far as national perception and the space available for them politically is concerned. The civil war caused a rupture in the consciousness of the nation that has not yet healed. In fact the wounds have fostered and has become a suppurating sore. They simply cannot be trusted (I am referencing national perception here). Nigeria feels that Igbos still carry that threatening and divisive vision in their heart and yes Biafra has become the refuge, the comfort, the hope of the Igbos in a nation where we all suffer just like the slaves during the slave era projected their visions of freedom to the heavenly Jerusalem. Biafra is the alternate dream for Igbos in the absence of a Nigerian dream. So I'd like to ask don't you think that the time has come or should come for the Igbos to exorcise this vision from their collective unconscious? 2 Likes |

Mujtahida: A lot of people are too dumb to think and simulate possible scenarios that can ensue based on current realities. They only assume what their brain capacity can.... War happened the last time, it will surely happen again. Now to the question asked 'does secession make one lose assets'? The answer could be yes or No I have simulated different scenarios and the most plausible as at current reality is they won't be any war for secession. If At all they is secession, it will most likely be peaceful and Nigeria will first of all go into a tricky mode....a referendum mode (which of course will take guts for any leader to conduct). In that mode, everybody (not just the secessionist... everybody) will start to mop up dollars, gold or cryptos the stock exchange will crash, so also the real estate market. And as we know, 90% of dollars in our banks are electronic and would not be prone to people breaking vaults and confisticating. Some of these funds are linked to hedge funds, equities, and capital firms owned by different entities, banks, clubs etc. So let's assume, I am unlucky to come from a sessionist region and I would love to safe guard my assets, money and estate. What will I do? 1. Money: Take a dollar position and hedge in an international capital or bank. Can also take positions in the Nigeria banks with international operations. And because money is electronic, I can always cash out anywhere with master card, visa or PayPal 2.

Mujtahida: It's not inevitable... it's possible. That why I stated point 7. See below. 7. Another card that can be played will be restructuring. Nigeria can be restructured and grouped into more like minds. In my opinion, restructuring can prolong disintegration by another 50 years and maybe by then we hope that one world order would have washed away our stupid cave like ethnic stupidity as I would like to call it What this means is that if the games are played well, it will take another 50 years for people to start to cry for their own country (ditto Scotland, Barcelona , Texas and California) But by then, one world order (interconnectivity of world) will make it impossible and will help in washing away cave like ethnic stupidity we practice in black Africa. And about the Igbos... I hate to group and tag people. People that come in different shades and colors. It's bad. People also say the Jewish people are the most schizorphrenic people there is. Is it good for them? Yes, No, Maybe? |
