Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Achuzia and Realuzation of Biafra

Notionally.  If the nationals all agree to legally carve it out. Give examples..

For my own example if a section of the Yoruba decide to legally carve out Oduduwa Republic out of Nigeria, and if the numerically powerful Igbo population as stake holders in all the territory known  as Nigeria decide to withold consent then that homeland will legally remain a figment of the imagination of the proposers irrespective of the fact that the area under proposal was/is their ancestral homeland.  It cannot be turned into a separate republic INSIDE Nigeria except with the consent of majority of the stakeholders of Nigeria.

If the said group want to move outside the current territory of Nigeria to a virgin land drafting along fellow Yoruba to form such republic, of course no one can stop them.

Therein lies the paradox of modern nationhood. Once formed, continuation /separation is a process of continual negotiations. No arbitrary decisions can be made regarding any part of it by any section in it.
