1,Unfortunately, IPOB cannot be a political party as the Constitution does not allow secessionist parties

2.Who told you that other regions would vote down a bill for referendum? Don't make assumptions.

3.Again, the NA cannot grant a referendum unless the constitution is amended to allow for the NA to consider a referendum. Amending the constitution requires 2/3 vote in all state assemblies plus 2/3 vote at the National Assembly and Senate.

oyatz:




You just postulated that

1) It will not be possible for IPOB to successfully push for a referendum bill if they win legislative seated in the SE/SS.

2) However you also postulated that it will be possible for IPOB to mount pressure on the NASS to pass a referendum bill without being part of the NASS.

How contradictory!

Even as members representing SE/SS, you can't do it. Is it when you are total outsiders that the NASS will listen to you and bow to your pressure?

gidgiddy:


IPOB wants the SE and parts of the SS to break away from Nigeria as the Republic of Biafra via referendum

Even if IPOB managed to win all the elective positions in the SE/SS and moved a motion at the National Assembly for a referendum, they have zero chance of having it passed as they require two thirds Majority. Just the core North controls about 40% of the National Assembly.

Some people dont seem to understand that the way Nigeria has been constituted favours the core North, the have the most states, local governments and representatives in the NASS. They can make or unmake any law. Thats why I laugh at those who think they will ever agree that Nigeria be restructured

So going into politics is a waste of tine time for IPOB. The only alternative is to keep up the agitation u til Nigeria agrees to agrees to a referendum, even if takes 200 years

agboemma35:
Please reasonable answers and explanation cuz we see a strong agitation that biafra Will come. But how. Is it through war.. Which some say isn't the case. So how does he intend to make it happen

Area4Area:
Declare a Biafra and save us the stress of waiting endlessly for Biafra.
When did the SE or SS tell you they want a Biafra?
Go and mourn kanu's parents for now and allow him and his parents to rest

oyatz:




They will start abusing/cursing you soon.

Area4Area:
Who's supposed to be discussing for your side, do not mention IPOB because the Igbos never elected nor asked it to speak for them.

Area4Area:
If the national assembly can't give you then get prepared for a war

Area4Area:
If you are ready for the South Sudanese and Eritrean style of referendum, continue with IPOB but if you want the Canadian, British, Spanish style, do the right thing and forget IPOB.

Area4Area:
Exactly but would IPOB listen to good counsel? They want it their way which is asking for a war

Area4Area:
Don't mind him, he's been lectured on both options but go shouting referendum always, get your politicians involved or declare Biafra and face a war with the rest of Nigeria.

horsepower102:


Let’s cut the nonsense out. These people giving all these unsolicited advise are masking their inner pain and hatred for IPOB and what it stands for with fake advice.

They know that the ideas they are suggesting won’t ever work in Nigeria. They just want to sound diplomatic and appear good.

If you give these people advising you on IPOB unlimited power, they will permanently crush IPOB.

The truth is that no matter how much Nigerians pretend, the idea of Igbos leaving Nigeria makes them very scared and insecure. Forget all the online nonsense.

IPOB will have to prepare for a war. It is sad but it’s the only realistic option in a country like Nigeria.

MetaPhysical:


You are disillusioned!

Igbos in Lagos, Igbos in Abuja, Igbos in Kano...they are resolved to thwart any move to declare Biafra. They love their wealth in Nigeria more than they love sovereingty in homeland.

First resolve that obstacle before thinking of Yoruba and Fulani.

Area4Area:
Some people are really shameless, see someone lapping at all my posts at the same, would even repeat same on other threads just to get my attention.
Please anyone with enough time on his hands can help us address his issues.

Rossinky:


Don't mind these IPOB folks. Nnamdi Kanu will provide jobs and accommodation for the 30 million Igbos that will be deported to the east after secession.

enemybulldozer:
Continue waiting for Igbos to elect or ask IPOB to speak for them. You go wait taya.. Because IPOB is Igbo and Igbo is IPOB.

Who discussed the 12 northern sharia states??

enemybulldozer:
Do you really think we are afraid of war??

enemybulldozer:
Stop feeling funky no one needs your attention here. Why would anyone need the attention of someone that is known for causing nuisance??

You are always on gidgiddy's mentions, that means you're doing all that just to get his attention??

For your information, I love countering the junks you always bring to the table for people that will be going through our comments to Read and understand.

I will be needing your attention only if it will end the zoo.

PeterUdeme:


If the core north controls 40% of the National Assembly then ss/se control 38% of the National Assembly. The middle belt is on your side. You can easily win.

gidgiddy:


The entire southern Nigeria does not have up to 38% representation at National Assembly

It is virtually impossible to get the 67% or two tbitd vote needed to get a referendum

That is why the agitation should keep on u til Nigeria as a collective agrees that it is wrong to hold people against their will and grant referendum. It wont be easy or quick but freedom one of the greatest things a people can aspire to

PeterUdeme:


Lol. So the north has over 63% of the National Assembly?

The kind of lie kanu tells you. It’s 50:50 if you factor in Kwara and kogi central as Yoruba centric.

gidgiddy:


The North is the NC,NE and NE while the South is SW,SE,SS

The entire North controls about 63% of the National Assembly whie the South has about 37%. This is not about Nnamdi Kanu, it is about using google to check how many of 360 house of rep members and 109 Senators are from North and south

PeterUdeme:


You sound very dumb tho. One can see your level of shallowness from miles away.

PeterUdeme:


Then what are you waiting for? Many of you have been abusing people who say you call for war.

PeterUdeme:


Their elected governors and house of assembly members? Are you trying to be dumb?
