That's why i've always advised those Ipob miscreants fooling after one psychopath to stop wasting their youthfulness pursuing pathetic aimless and untenable dream. They should rather channel their profound energy to meaningful and realistic goal instead of giving solidity to whirlwind.. But If they want to continue their exercise , they at liberty after all the Catalonia has been agitating for a secession for the past 300 years. 71 Likes 13 Shares |

When reminded that even though it is not in the country’s constitution, the issue of referendum has become an international legal instrument for self-determination groups to realise their dream, Obono-obla said “The international law does not take precedence over the Nigerian constitution. If you want to ratify any treaty or international convention, the National Assembly has to approve it. You cannot begin to use the international law to deal with municipal, local and national issues. Let them stop wasting their time. There is nothing like that. The agitators are just wasting their time and that is why I am saying that they are just expressing their right to the freedom of expression.” Nnamdi Kanu will not hear this now, when the war start he'd just go OJUKWU on his igbo people ![]() 50 Likes 5 Shares |

Becos Nigeria has already lost. Nigeria held referendum and South West Cameroon left, Adamawa came. Nigeria will hold referendum so Biafra can exit. If Nigeria fails, the UN will do it for them. 179 Likes 10 Shares |

evilyoruba: Which yeye constitution? Can one man sit in his house and write constitution for a country with many nations? Nigeria constitution is an illegal document. It will bow to the UN an Internatioanal Law. For as long as Nigeria try to avoid referendum, knowing fully well the result will not be in their favour, they will continue to face international disgrace such as election boycott and many more to come. For many years they did not only marginalise Igbo politically but also economically. We have no deep seaport in the whole SS/SE, no International Airport, yet it is our resources they use to build Lagos and Abuja. Now they cannot persuade the eastern electorate to vote in favour of Nigeria, so dey are coming with flimsy excuses. 80 Likes 6 Shares |

Who told you it's not possiblel? The Constitution can be amended.So the defective system Nigeria operates should continue? Everybody is just tired of this country.A revolution is at hand that will sweep these useless people holding this nation to ransome because they're benefitting from the statuquo.So don't worry,Nigeria will either divide peacefully or by force.Meanwhile this man alongside the attorney general and the EFCC have been endlessly losing high-profile anti-corruption cases because of poor legal technicalities is the one talking this shit. 22 Likes 1 Share |

No man whose life is buttered by the status quo would want any referendum or restructuring. It's very sweet to be on the chopping side of the cake while the owners are left hungry. Oblong headed Buhari dog, we are waiting for u right here in SS. Referendum is very very very POSSIBLE. The Constitution is made by men not GOD. So, men can as well change it, amend it, jettison it. 28 Likes 1 Share |

Oga how many bottles of beer did u take that makes u to disgrace ur self this way, u did not answer a single questions out of the questions u were asked. it is time to call a spade a spade because it becoming too much of North. Offence that kept Nnamdi kanu for 18 months in kuje prison can not be compared with the quit notice given to Igbos living in the North. yet some people like u will come and talk nonsense because it involves a Northerner. the drums of war North sounds will do No one good. If North thinks Nigeria will continue to be Master and slave's to next generation it is a lie Nigeria must be Restrutured or we go separate ways. 21 Likes |

The issue is many Nigerians believe in God, and they also believe nothing is too hard for God to do, which includes people separating from another. After all God allowed Israel to divide into Israel and Judea. God divided the field and farms between Lot and Abraham. If it is not possible Legally and Politically, it will be possible spiritually. Nothing pass God. 20 Likes 1 Share |
