Some of my classmates asked my public Law Prof. what would have happened if the UK had refused to grant Scotland a referendum, or what would happen if the "yes" votes are majority but the UK still refuses to grant them independence......
My Prof said that there will be a high possibility of war, either way. David Cameron being an intelligent man, used his power of persuasion to keep United Kingdom united again..
The Biafra situation is very similar to the Scottish one. Ideally, president Buhari should follow Mr. Cameron's method in tackling the Biafran issue.
.
One thing I know for sure is that a referendum is NOT a privilege, it is as a matter of fact a democratic right.
.
The people of #Biafra reserve the right to a referendum. It is Buhari's job as a president to ensure a peaceful process.
He doesn't have the right to force a united Nigeria. This is democracy; not autocracy, and definitely not military. It is not within the tenet of Buhari's power as a president to deny a section of the country their democratic right.

Igbos are this, that, bla bla bla. They are the worst affliction that hit Nigeria. Now the Igbos want to go and leave you in peace in your paradise, and you say no?
The beheading of the Christian Igbo woman isn't just religious, but also tribal and political.
We are a secular nation, NOT an Islamic state for phuck sake!

The northerners cannot force their blood thirsty god on everyone. How can you decapitate a human and parade her head in broad day light? What is wrong with you? Any god that directs you to behead people is an idiotic blood thirsty moronic god. This lunacy in the name of religion has got to stop!
If your god is so powerful, let him come and fight for itself.
The blood flow has far exceeded the level in which a state of emergency should have been declared. The value of life in Nigeria is now worth less than the value of an average size tomato. For how long are we going to carry on like this?

My fear is that things will only get worse if a drastic solution is not effected as a matter of urgency.

It is painful enough that a woman has just been beheaded, it is even more painful that the caricature of a president and law enforcement agencies are acting like nothing happened......#ripsoulsmurderedinthenameofpolitical, tribalandreligiousissues.....
