 An international governmental organization that promotes self-determination and the end to colonial era boundaries in Africa, Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS), has outlined reasons why there should be a snap referendum for Biafra Republic.

The Nigerian government however will retain all national debt. Biafra will then release the Nigerian government from any obligation to pay reparations for crimes committed during the war of independence 1967-1970.”

OEAS noted that if there is a secession, all “Property of the federal government within the borders of Biafra will become property of Biafra.

The OEAS wants a snap referendum to be held within 90 days with OEAS, UNPO, and UN, EU and AU nonaligned observers supervising the balloting process. Various effected groups and individuals have asked for details which OEAS can now provide.

OEAS noted that as of today the people of Biafra are locked in an epic struggle with the Nigerian federal government, the inevitable result of which will likely be some form of self-determination for Biafra.

 

 

Why a Snap Referendum?

The people of Biafra have waited almost 50 years to legitimize their choice. There is no need to prolong the process. A lengthy delay will no doubt result in violence and bloodshed as out of the area ruffians and intimidators come into the region to try to unlawfully influence results.

 

Who will be eligible to vote in the Referendum?

 

All persons living within the confines of the borders of the former Republic of Biafra as of January 1, 2016 will be eligible to vote. In addition, persons living outside the borders who can demonstrate significant ties to Biafra by family or property may choose to vote as well.

 

What are the choices?

A. For total independence and the restoration of the Republic of Biafra as a sovereign independent nation.

 

B. For internal self-rule as an autonomous Biafra republic with its

own parliament, currency, police and prime minister but with external affairs and other matters handled by the Nigerian federal government.This would be an arrangement similar to Scotland and the United Kingdom or Greenland and Denmark.

 

C. For no change.

 

How many votes are required?

Whatever option above gets a plurality will be the chosen result.

If we choose an independent Biafra, what then?

 

After an orderly transition period of no more than 180 days, Biafra will again be independent. Those who wish to maintain their Nigerian citizenship may do so but will be under Biafran rule and must affirmatively register themselves as aliens. Likewise, those outside Biafra with ties to Biafra may become Biafran citizens after renouncing Nigerian citizenship.

 

What about former federal

government property?

Property of the federal government within the borders of Biafra will become property of Biafra. The Nigerian government however will retain all national debt. Biafra will then release the Nigerian government from any obligation to pay reparations for crimes committed during the war of independence 1967-1970.

 

What about the borders?

The borders with Nigeria must be settled by the time of independence in order to avoid disorder and discord.

 

On the other hand, Biafra should not be obligated to follow any agreements between Cameroun and Nigeria, any loss of territory must be subject to a democratic referendum.

 

Is all this really possible?

We answer emphatically is yes. The people of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea made their choice to leave Ukraine under far more stressful circumstances. The vote was so overwhelmingly in favor that no country has seriously challenged the will of the people.

 

Finally, what about those criminals who have oppressed Biafrans and committed crimes and atrocities against the people of Biafra?

 

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission composed of Biafrans and other experts will establish the truth and investigate political and

genocidal crimes from 1967 to present. The Committee will have the power to grant clemency and forgiveness but also may make

recommendations as to prosecution in the most serious cases of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide.
