#BiafrEXIT: If BIAFRA is so UNPOPULAR, why not try a REFERENDUM?

If BIAFRA is so UNPOPULAR, why not try a REFERENDUM?

I have been reading quite a lot of news and so-called press release of one people or another; they often love to flaunt the news like pump price has fallen to 22 naira and every Nigerian newspapers and news website carry the news as well. You would wonder why the news is soaring like an eagle but if you have a click or a glance, you will read "Ohaneze disowns Biafra" "South South disowns Biafra" "Urhobo denies inclusion in Biafra" if all these people disown Biafra, why not call for a referendum so they can all vote against Biafra and you take a flawless victory. 

Some UNSCRUPULOUS groups such as The Igbo Conscience (TIC) championed by Yoruba lackeys feeding on crumbs such as Joe Igbokwe (modern day the Ukpabi Asika) have claimed that the desire for #BiafrEXIT is very unpopular among Biafrans. The are "unequivocal in distancing the generality of Ndigbo from the present politically-orchestrated clamour for secession from Nigeria. It is dubious. It is fraudulent. It is selfish and does not command the support of most Igbo. It is a non-event, inconsequential, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. For, it is proven that the Ndigbo are better off and will do better in a united and prosperous Nigeria."

I have lived all my life in this contraption called Nigeria and I was made to understand that truth is prohibited, you either say truth and go down or lie and stay up, journalism in this contraption is about brown envelope, favoritism and executive control.

Why they are afraid of referendum if all in question forbade Biafra? Is it not the easiest way to get over Biafra? Save the expenditures, shame and looming war? If a referendum is conducted, going by what Nigerian newspapers had floated about tribes and people denouncing Biafra, I bet Biafra will lose in a referendum so I urge for referendum. 

Why are they afraid of referendum? 

Is referendum only a thing witnessed abroad? Does it mean we can't be human enough to be free? Does it mean referendum is not African culture? Must we fight and kill ourselves? Must soldiers spare terrorists and crush peaceful agitators? Must for criticizing or condemning evil one should be detained? Must due process and human right be trampled for asking to be free? We have to see this from another perspective as to why referendum is a monster, Biafra or death simply implies that it's Biafra or another civil war to go is fought.

Why are they afraid of referendum?

I call for a rethink on the side of Nigeria, 2015 is not 1967 and this hatred for referendum will bring passion for blood. Biafrans are ready to go and stopping Biafra is opposing God and instead of his word not to come to pass, heaven and earth will pass away, Nigeria and everything in it will pass away. There should be caution why trying to oppose prophecies, there should be caution while dealing with wounded lion, there should be caution while history is being repeated. Follow the prophecies so far and study the purpose of God, referendum will save all because the hit will touch everyone. God will take away everything for his kingdom to be restored.
