WHEN IS NIGERIA GOING TO FOLLOW THIS GOOD EXAMPLE. Newstalk
MONTENEGRO VOTE TO SECEDE
A new small state is about to be born in Europe, less than 1 million inhabitants. It is called Montenegro. Indeed, with the discussions now holding in Vienna, Kosovo, a mere province of Serbia will soon be independent as well, leaving Serbia alone as the big and sore loser in a failed bid to force a state on the unwilling. Serbia fought four wars to prevent disintegration and lost. Now Serbia is alone. How are the mighty fallen!
The decision by Montenegro to secede has driven the final nail into the coffin of Yugoslavia, the once invincible South Slav state. The World Cup in Germany this June will be the last act of the dead state. After that, Serbia and Montenegro will go their separate ways. Now instead of one Yugoslavia, we have six sovereign states, some less than 1 million in population complete with UN seats. And the high heavens have not fallen. Only in Africa is a nation of 50 million people denied statehood in the name of what? What are the lessons of Montenegro for Nigeria?
1. The historical inevitability of Biafra.
The state of Montenegro was abolished by the "great powers" after World War 1 just as Biafran statehood was truncated in 1970 by the armed conspiracy of the great powers of Great Britain and the now defunct Soviet Union. Just like Nigeria was forcibly amalgamated, Yugoslavia too was formed from the ruins of the Hapsburg and Ottoman empires bringing together Slovenia, Serbs, Croatia, Bosnia etc. into an unworkable union of opposites. Like Nigeria, the collapse of Yugoslavia was only a matter of time. The notion of one Nigeria is a farce.
After Montenegro, the European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN) have no moral authority to oppose Biafran statehood. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Like Serbia Hausa-Fulani hegemonists will lose everything.
Serbia fought four wars in order to maintain their domination of Yugoslavia. In the end, Serbia lost everything including the Serbian spiritual home of Kosovo Metohia. Given that a state cannot be maintained by force in the long run, it is clear that in Nigeria the same forces that led to the fall of Nigeria and the Hausa-Fulani will be the grand losers. In Yugoslavia, the slide started with Slovenia in 1991 and today, Serbia is alone. Serbia today, Hausa-Fulani custodians of nigerian "unity" tomorrow.
3. Those who make peaceful change impossible...
So far every call for the restructuring of the Nigerian state has been resisted by the Serbs of Nigeria. The concerns of 50 million Igbo have been swept under the carpet and trampled on. After imposing Yoruba rule on Nigeria for 8 years, the Hausa-Fulani are now plotting to re-impose a degenerative Islamist hegemony on Nigeria against Igbo wishes. They have created Igbo Bantustans with “governors” who depend on patronage from the Abuja to maintain the status quo. Deeply corrupt and semi-literate thugs such as Atiku Abubakar and Ibrahim Babangida are touted as the new rulers. Without doubt, this gross insult will provide the catalyst for the 50 million Igbo to finally rise up and secede from the Nigerian Yoke, Slovenian style.
Interestingly, the European Union (EU) is overseeing this peaceful dismantling of the failed state of Yugoslavia. The UN is watching. A precedent is set. Biafrans must demand a referendum and like in Montenegro, if 55% say yes, then Biafra is a foregone conclusion. Neither the UN nor the EU will have the moral authority to resist or even question the disintegration of the Nigerian state where Islamist Shariarists are currently yoked together with Christian Biafrans in an unworkable union that has claimed more than 3 million lives since 1966. To have any credibility at all, the EU must concede that if the 1 million people of Montenegro can vote on a referendum about their independence, so can the 50 million Biafrans. With the lessons of Montenegro, to reject Biafran independence now is to deny the common humanity of black people. What is good for the European goose is good for the African gander. NC

There are millions of Biafrans at home campaigning for a Referendum in Nigeria, because they are sick of that failed state called Nigeria. I dare Nigeria to accept a referendum for Biafra. God save mazi Uwazuruike and others from the hands of lunatics still holding them. Peace
