    I can actually understand if you interpret Liam Neeson's interview from the angle of him being now ashamed of what he used to think...but saying he "deserves a medal" for doing that? Come on now, I thought we were the generation who get given trophies for doing nothing

    I’m confused. How do you have a referendum if you stay at home? Is there a ballot paper? Who delivers it? How do you return it? Or is it based on how many people stay at home? What if you wanted to go out but couldn’t? Or you were on holiday & people thought you were at home?

    Biafrans will be having referendum on 16th February 2019. So Biafrans will sit at home & boycott Nigeria election to observe Biafra referendum.
