HOW TO TAKE DOWN THE APARTHEID 1999 CONSTITUTION OF NIGERIA[/b][b]

Nigerians everywhere now know that the 1999 Constitution was not only imposed upon the people illegally, but it also creates an Apartheid system, plus is anti-development. Some information:

1. The people must be involved in making any Constitution that they are to live by. That starts with the ethnic nationalities AGREEING to live in a Union. This never happened with the 1999 Constitution.

2. The 1999 Constitution claims that, “We, the people… Do hereby make, enact and give to ourselves the following Constitution”. This never happened with the 1999 Constitution – it is therefore FORGERY.

3. In every country, a Constitution is given LEGITIMACY only after a Referendum by the citizens. This never happened with the 1999 Constitution.

4. Citizens were never consulted, and did not agree to the number of States and LGAs. The arrangement of Nigeria has become one where there are more States and LGAs in one part of the country, unfairly (and illegally) benefiting the Northern part of the country ie Arewa (Sharia area).

5. At Independence ethnic nationality’s resource control was one of the key agreements in order to take part in a Union called “Nigeria”. However, in the 1999 Constitution monies from a State are placed into a Federation Account. This money is then distributed, not according to where the funds came from, but according to size of State, number of LGAs, and population of the State. NOTE: Although a population census is normal in honest, democratic countries, nobody knows Nigeria’s true population.

6. At the pre-Independence Lancaster House Conferences (1957-58) agreement was reached that Nigeria having several religious beliefs, any Union would have to be in a SECULAR country. Yet now 12 Northern States have imposed Sharia (for 3 of them, in those areas with Moslem majority). Also, against the pre-Independence agreement to be in a SECULAR Union, Nigeria has become a ranking member of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (formerly Conference).

7. In the 1999 Constitution the people’s sovereignty and autonomy have been hijacked, so the people’s independence to operate their own infrastructure has been taken away. This is done through the Exclusive List. The Exclusive List is assigned to the Federal government; the Concurrent List is assigned to both Federal and State governments; and the Residual List is assigned to the states. The Exclusive List has 68 items, while the Concurrent List has 12.
The former Regions can no longer own, regulate, and distribute electricity for themselves. Registration of an ordinary business which was in the hands of the Regions is now a Federal government affair. Oil and gas, railways, telecoms, and many more are all now under Federal control, and the bad outcome is an underdeveloped Nigeria.

8. There were certain terms and agreements that our pre-Independence forebears insisted on if there was to be any Union of ethnic nationalities in “Nigeria”. However, the 1999 Constitution imposed on Nigerians without their consent has not complied with them and this forged Constitution has entrapped the indigenous ethnic nations against their will with these words: “Nigeria…. as one INDIVISIBLE and INDISSOLUBLE sovereign nation under God”. With this, the imposed 1999 Constitution seeks to bind up ethnic nationalities to a Union never agreed upon by making it unlawful to want self-determination which we had at Independence.

The 1999 Constitution is available in book form and on the internet, so Nigerians can acquaint themselves with this document and see for themselves that it is a FORGERY, and nothing like the Constitution “we the people” had agreed to, as a basis for any Union between us at Independence.

Given this: that the 1999 Constitution was irregularly IMPOSED upon the indigenous ethnic nationalities, Nigerians are to collectively seek a CONSTITUTIONAL FORCE MAJEURE to take down the Apartheid and anti-development forged 1999 Constitution.

Fortunately, we have the example of South Africa which was also under an Apartheid system. As adults, we are to do our own research on what South Africans did and tell our children, plus those under our care/authority.

How do we take down this 1999 Constitution? By DECLARATIONS, DIALOGUE and NEGOTIATIONS leading to agreements and new social contracts, ie Constitution(s) that will be legitimized by Referendum. In the case of South Africa, increasing local and international pressure on the government, as well as the realisation that Apartheid could neither be maintained by force forever nor overthrown by the opposition without considerable suffering ie war, eventually led both sides to the negotiating table. It was a process that for example included the Mahlabatini Declaration of Faith that, "the situation of South Africa in the world scene as well as internal community relations requires, in our view, an acceptance of certain fundamental concepts for the economic, social and constitutional development of our country". It called for negotiations involving all ethnic peoples, in order to draw up constitutional proposals stressing opportunity for all with a Bill of Rights to safeguard these rights. It also affirmed that political change must take place through non-violent means.

We are therefore to raise the national consciousness and awareness of our Constitutional Force Majeure to take down the 1999 Constitution by discussions in our families and in every gathering we go to. Plus media (TV, radio, newspapers) and social media. Importantly, also in our village, community and town hall meetings, with traditional rulers and chiefs, etc. Those in the diaspora are to do the same and also help with getting international recognition. We are to use every means possible to alert the international community that peaceful change is preferable to violent change.

This is not a job for one man, but is a job YOU must do too and not shrug off, leaving it to others, while you sit back. For your children’s sake YOU must get involved. We just cannot give our children an imposed Apartheid forged 1999 Constitution to inherit.

YOU must get involved in your own rescue. Please share widely. Then ACT!

@ PrivyTech, Scissors dey bro

Thanks. Really learnt a lot. Can’t the constitution be challenged in a court of law?

I don't know, but whatever idea any of us have, we should research it then post the idea/solution for all of us to know.

My understanding from this post is that South Africa has already taken down their Apartheid constitution through a Force Majeure and it worked. So the post is urging us to speak with one voice (it will be a greater chance of success) and be focused on this thing of using a Constitutional Force Majeure to take down our Apartheid constitution. I think reading up on SA will be useful. That's what I will do today. Take care.

For mumu Blacks yes..oo. Oyeebo have a true sayimg: "If you want to hide something from a Black man, put it in a book". They know monkeys don't like reading. Eating & dancing is their life.

The 80% of Nigeria's problem is from this book but because it favor political ellites and some group that believe Nigeria belong to them they do not talk all see it as abnormal system which will never allow the development to the land except for their family alone. I have said it before that if the way people are reading Bible and Quran in this country is applicable to the book we call our constitution, we have had time to correct the errors but it seems like nobody care in as much the system favor me to provide food for my family.
But if we loved our country we much find solutions to this together if not, this country will never move an inch intern of development.

You can only amend the constitution with a 2/3 majority vote in the National Assembly. To do that, you have to convince your representatives to move a motion in that regard, and then lobby for the required support for the amendment.

This is why the biafra referendum remains an audio pipe dream because instead of trying to legally amend the constitution to allow a referendum, the secessionists tread the path of blackmail and bridge burning instead of building to get the required votes to allow amendment and the referendum they dearly seek.

A Force Majeure is simply a rebellious attempt to subvert the democratic process of constitutional amendment as stated above, and often comes with avoidable unwelcome violent consequences. A force Majeure is literally defined as irresistible compulsion or superior strength (e.g what Ojukwu thought he had until he realized otherwise & fled to Ivory Coast in women's clothes) or an "act of God".

Don't be deceived and do the right thing.
