You are right about inalienable rights to protest. You are right about inalienable rights for homelands where they do not exist or where people are denied access to such homelands. This does not fit the Biafranists scenario.
If under the federal Constitution such homeland is the common patrimony of ALL Nigerians it is illegal to agitate to make such the exclusive preserve of only one ethnic group in the federation.
It is in that consideration that government forbade Arewa youths from giving the Igbo the ultimatum to leave the North. The North equally belongs to the Igbo, Edo and Yoruba as much as ethnic northerners. But one can understand the context of the Arewa youth action in view of the agitation for Biafra.

It cannot be unlawful, peoples have inalienable rights to agitate for homelands, so long as such agitations are non violent.
