Dear Uchenna,
Thank you for your feedback. Actually, the facts don't support your claims. Under Nigeria's 1963 Constitution, no region had the right to secede. They had complete control of their resources, of which they paid a 25% tax to the Central Government to create a pool account.
Resource Control was ended in Nigeria after Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated Decree Number 34 of May 24, 1966, through which his military government seized all assets and gave them to the Federal Government, which continues until today.
The idea for a secession clause was mooted by Chief Obafemi Awolowo in 1954 during the Lagos Constitutional Conference, but Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it and galvanised a majority of the conference attendees to kill the idea.
After this was rejected, Chief Awolowo again wrote to the then Secretary of State, who rejected the clause on the grounds that the majority, led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, was not in support of it.
It was because of Nnamdi Azikiwe that section 86 was inserted into our constitution with the proviso that if any region seceded, it would be an act of treason.
Nnamdi Azikiwe himself wrote about this in an essay, which was published by the New Nigerian Newspapers in 1975, and has since been republished by other papers and by Mr Azikiwe himself before he died, may God bless his memory.
Were it not for Azikiwe, Biafra would have had the legal right to secede.
Thank you again, and may God bless you.

@NOIweala Madam, it has been noted that you are now working against Nigeria in WTO because of ethnic affiliation & grudges you have against the current president. Congratulations to your son, hope this hatred is not passed down to your grandchildren.
@akin_adesina @jadesolar_01 @officialABAT The woman @NOIweala that you supported has started to sabotage Nigeria's chance at the WTO, hatred cannot win as well as it cannot favour anyone as it has never done with those before her. @NOIweala decided to become the spoiler for Nigeria on emotional ground.
@jadesolar_01 Very dangerous ingrates. No wonder nobody trusted them. If not for Obasanjo & Adesina, she would have retired and be forgotten like most of her colleagues from the world Bank and be living on gratuity, sitting at home minding grandchildren. Hateful ingrates.
@ChigozirimFort2@funshographix If your State of Origin is a place to reckon with, they would have sited the University there. Unfortunately, ur State of Origin is meant for savages like you.
@ChigozirimFort2@funshographix Chinua Achebe, Theodore Orji and the likes were raised in University of Ibadan. So your banters towards Ibadan people can never work.
@ChigozirimFort2 @StRaphaelite @funshographix No single state in the east worth Ibadan in term of exposure,civilization and other amenities…the 1st university in Nigeria is in Ibadan,the first tv station is in Ibadan even the first teaching hospital…my mom is from Imo state and I served in the east so I know more.
This is Ibadan. There is more to Ibadan than just brown roofs. It's very cool for us to be proud of what our ancestors built. Hence we must never stop building & developing our homes
If Obidients movement isn't Igbo agenda. They'll not be so pained after Obi lost to Tinubu. If it's not Igbo agenda they'll not say if Gbarebo wins they’ll pursued Yoruba Kings. They'll not be pained that Oro took place. They'll not attacked Yoruba culture & heroes. Even till now they're still crying on social media
@blesynodion@PastorMarvy We know them, they are hate filled users, I don't blame her, I blamed Obasanjo & Adesina, if not she would still be at the world Bank like many of her colleagues or retired without being remembered. Think before you lift these people, they are bunches of ingrates
@OrjiOnyinye7@funshographix The Yorubas didn't bring your ancestors to Lagos as slaves, even Tai Solarin that brought your hungry & kwashiorkor stricken grandfathers to Ogun state did that out of empathy. So, we have no obligation to give you the attention you are craving.
@sunny30749838@funshographix Don't you have a land in the same Nigeria? Why are you so greedy? You have your villages, towns & cities in the same geographical region yet, you want to take over others land in the same region, what's wrong with you all? It's not like you were brought to Lagos as slaves.
