In addition to this, the Spanish government has started screwing the Catalonia authorities up their assess, aided by the UN and US, yet some people put their hopes in those bodies.

I laugh.

If there's gonna be a referendum, the Nigerian parliament is the only body that can bring that about.

The earlier these guys wake up to the realities of international diplomacy and politics, the better for them.

Throwback:


And Nigeria is not formidable and IPOB has a better game plan despite not being the constitutionally recognised political leadership of the Igbos?

Kosovo is not independent either

Heck,do you know how much effort Turkey has put into this diplomatically to see that it(the independence referendum) doesn't happen? Erdogan would rather die than seen an independent Kurdistan spring up just across the border in Iraq. Don't forget that the Kurds in Turkey have been agitating for independence for decades now. As far as Turkey is concerned,this referendum is a threat to Turkish sovereignty. Erdogan even asked the Kurds to suspend it but they just want to go ahead with it. They(the Kurds) feel cheated for a plethora of reasons. One of such reasons is the fact that the kurds are the 4th largest ethnic group in the middle East but have no independent State of their own and they are looking to right what they see as a historical wrong.

Mrchippychappy:


No one said anything about IPOB, this misconception that IPOB = Igbos is totally wrong. IPOB are just a minute fraction of the Igbos. The call for referendum in Nigeria is totally constitutional and if a region in Nigeria decides to have a referendum then NO one can stop them, Nigeria is not formidable, make no mistake!

A referendum would be a contingency plan in the event that the call for restructuring is disregarded by those parasitical elements in the Nation who bring little or nothing yet consume more than those who contribute the most!

Mrchippychappy:


This argument doesn't make any sense, for every Kurdistan, there's a Kosovo, South Sudan etc, the list is endless so we can't assume that any call for referendum in Nigeria wouldn't get the support of the UN just because the UN refused to support the Kurdish referendum . Kurds probably don't have their game plan right and lets not forget Iraq and Turkey are two countries that don't want the Kurds to gain independence, the UN can't be seen as an organisation siding the Kurds against the Turkish government, the Turks play a very important role in world politics, most people don't know this but besides Israel the strongest army in the Middle east is the Turkish army, it is imperative that the UN keeps Turkey as an ally.

The kurds are going up against a very formidable country and quite frankly, the Kurdish referendum is coming at an ill timed moment. They should have done their home work better.

Mrchippychappy:






The 2008 Kosovo declaration of independence was adopted on 17 February 2008 by the Assembly of Kosovo.[1] In a meeting attended by 109 of the total 120 members,[1] the assembly unanimously declared Kosovo to be independent from Serbia,[2] while all 11 representatives of the Serb minority boycotted the proceedings.[3] It was the second declaration of independence by Kosovo's Albanian-majority political institutions; the first was proclaimed on 7 September 1990.[4]

The legality of the declaration has been disputed. Serbia sought international validation and support for its stance that the declaration was illegal, and in October 2008 requested an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice.[5] The Court determined that the declaration did not violate international law[/b].[6]

As a result of the ICJ decision, a joint Serbia-EU resolution was passed in the United Nations General Assembly which called for an EU-facilitated dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia to "promote cooperation, achieve progress on the path to the European Union and improve the lives of the people."[7] [b]The dialogue resulted in the 2013 Brussels deal between Serbia and Kosovo which abolished all of the Republic of Serbia's institutions in Kosovo. Dejan Pavićević is the official representative of Serbia to Kosovo.[8] Valdet Sadiku is the official representative of Kosovo to Serbia.[9]

Seems like they are on the right part, don't you think! everything in due time

hatchy:
Ipobians please ye all should come and see something!

Our hope is dashed if UN,UK and US will come out openly to disassociate themselves from a whole Kurds that is the mainstay of Iraqi economy thru oil in abundance in that region.

We in the Y'east that have nothing to export our faith is doomed.That is to say that Nnamdi Kanu have been telling us quantum lies about the UN,UK,US,France and even that country that have Turkey in abundance.

Talkwell:


If U.N can distance itself from the Kurds what of our brothers in the east

So which Igbos have been making any call for referendum?

State their names and their political position that is representative of the region in Nigeria that wants to employ referendum to achieve secession.

State how they intend to achieve this call in the National Assembly?

Show me where secession which is the intention of such referendum, written in the constitution of the federal republic.

Or is referendum an objective, and not a tool to many objectives of which separation is just one of many.

The only card the Nigerian government has to play now is to agree to a national dialogue on restructuring and strictly adhere to the agreements of that dialogue, failure to do so would result in an unstoppable call for referendum, it cannot be stopped my friend. One way or another, the FG are in a very dicey situation, one could even say its checkmate. Things are looking interesting, #squeakybumtime

Referendum on what exactly?

Referendum is just a tool, but what exactly is the purpose of this magical referendum you keep harping on?

Is it referendum to allow 3terms for the Governors and President?

Is it referendum to scrap the Senate and retain only the House of reps?

Is it referendum to change the national flag?

What is the purpose of your desired referendum and is that purpose allowed by the constitution?

Mrchippychappy:



Common sense would let you know what a National referendum means and the purpose of such referendum. There are only two options now and I know the parasites hate to hear this but its either

A. RESTRUCTURING

or

B. NATIONAL REFERENDUM!

Chi'kena !

Maybe ipob terrorists should look to Cameroon to come help salvage their hopeless situation.

casdoruche:
A lot of is do not understand diplomacy antics. What you hear in public speeches is not necessarily what is obtainable. As the Kurdish leader said no one has brought something palatable to the table. But Un recognizes the fact that this same people did not support isis and fought as US and Un allies. Just few days to the referendum US tries to play safe so as not to raise suspicion among world powers like Russia who are tackling Georgia or China who have Taiwan to face. It just playing safe. But an intelligent mind would know they support it fully knowing the outcome.



Biafra who toe that line too. What happens on the surface is still on the surface. But the depth of it is the essence

What is a national referendum?

It seems the IPOB idiocy has caught up with you. Stop shouting referendum like an illiterate who just learnt the word on radio Biafra.

Referendum is just a tool that can be used for determining an unlimited number of questions.

So I ask again, is the question you desire to be answered allowed by the constitution of the federal republic?
