Full Title:
POST-COVID-19 ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION OF NIGERIA MUST BE PRECEDED BY THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE DAMAGED CONSTITUTIONAL BASIS OF NIGERIA: FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS THAT THE ROGUE 1999 CONSTITUTION MUST BE JETTISONED, WHOLESALE NOW - Tony Nnadi,

Lower Niger Congress May 20, 2020.

That Economic woes of Nigeria flow directly from the Damaged Constitutional Basis of Nigeria is no longer a matter for debate.

With the Covid-19 induced Economic Downturn and the sudden disappearance of Oil Revenues, the frantic suggestions regarding the urgent need to Diversify Nigeria’s Oil Economy to Non-Oil Sources, without first Decommissioning and Dismantling the Unitary 1999 Constitution of Nigeria, is a product of Ignorance or Dishonesty. Or Both.

If we do not first get rid of the 68-Item Federal Exclusive Legislative List on the 1999 Constitution which sequester to the illicit “Federal Government” of Nigeria, Ownership and Control all Economic Assets and the Powers to work those Assets, (which in the Federation Nigeria claims to be, belongs to the Federating Units), the opportunities being spoken about everywhere regarding the Diversification of the Nigeria’s Economy away from its current Oil Base, are simply a mirage.

It is the same 68-Item Federal Exclusive Legislative List that Centralize and Vest the Exclusive Control of the Security System in Nigeria on the illicit “Federal Government” of Nigeria which itself has now been completely hijacked by the Fulani Caliphate and so, Nothing will change with the Parlous Security Situation in Nigeria as long as the 1999 Constitution stands.

As it is with Economic Assets and Security, so is it with Electricity Generation & Transmission; so is it with Ports (Air and Sea); so is it with Railways and Highways. So is it with Elections (Federal and State). So is it with Law Enforcement and the Justice System. In all, Nigeria is Paralyzed by its Unitary 1999 Constitution which is now choking Nigeria to Death.

It is not by Amendments or any Process based on the 1999 Constitution that the 68-Item Federal Exclusive Legislative List will be Decommissioned and Dismantled, since the Caliphate Beneficiaries of the Apartheid Nigeria, who Imposed the Unitary 1999 Constitution to constrict, cripple and incapacitate the rest of Nigeria, have by the 36-States & 774 LGs Structure, Imposed themselves as the Standing Majority in the National Assembly of Nigeria and so it would be akin to waiting upon the Boer-Controlled Parliament of Apartheid South Africa to Cure the Atrociously Exclusionary Apartheid Constitution by Amendments.

Neither is Constitution-Making within the Legislative Mandate of the National Assembly as Constitution-Making Requires Constituent Powers which Vest Exclusively with the Constituent Components of the Union as an Incident of their Sovereignty.

Let it be noted that the Constituent Sovereignties making up the Union of Nigeria, are Currently hijacked through the Rogue 1999 Constitution by the Illicit “Federal Government” of Nigeria which emerged since the 1967 collapse of the Defunct Federation of Nigeria. That Illicit Federal Government of Nigeria has in turned been hijacked by the Fulani Caliphate.

The current Nigeria as defined by the “1999 Constitution”, is a thus, a Disputed Project.
Unitary Nigeria and it’s so-called “Federal Government” have become an obnoxious SUZERAINTY confiscating and suppressing the SOVEREIGNTIES of the Constituent Component Regions of Nigeria and this Raises an Urgent Sovereignty Dispute.

The 1999 Constitution MUST therefore go down wholesale, and the Consequential Sovereignty Dispute Resolved before any meaningful Economic Reconstruction can be contemplated since the Taking Down of the 1999 Constitution is a Political Undertaking, which goes to the root of the Charged Sovereignty Dispute in which Unitary Nigeria is currently trapped.

It is therefore Self-Evident that the Economic Quagmire of Nigeria is rooted in Nigeria’s Damaged Constitutional Basis. The Covid-19 Economic Disruptions have only exacerbated it and so the Economic Catastrophe starring Nigeria in the face is the Direct Consequence of Nigeria’s Political Folly of imposing a Unitary Constitution on a Federal Union.

It follows that Nigeria’s Economic Nightmares have Political Roots and so, unless we choose to Continue in Self-Deception, the Solution lies in the Political Action of First Reconfiguring the Damaged Constitutional Basis of Nigeria. Failure to acknowledge and act upon this reality is a guarantee for the unceremonious collapse of the Rickety Nigerian Union as the Entrapped Constituent Component Blocs of Nigeria, faced with the Ethnic Cleansing Onslaught by the Invading Fulani, are now more interested in the Safety and Future of their Various Peoples than in what happens to the Current Toxic Unitary Nigeria, erected upon and defined by the Fraudulent, Unworkable 1999 Constitution.

The situation is now being compounded by the massive influx of Fulani Mercenaries into Southern Nigeria in what seems the beginnings of a Jihad and the impending escalation of the Ethnic Cleansing Campaign by the Fulani against the Indigenous Nationalities of Nigeria, particularly in the South and Middle-Belt.

Like South Africa did in 1990 to commence the process of easing itself out of the Apartheid Quagmire, the LNC and it’s MNN Alliance Partners are of the firm view that Nigeria must now acknowledge the demise of the Imposed 1999 Constitution, (which has been Repudiated by all the Constituent Components of Nigeria) and get into a Transitioning that will midwife Fresh Protocols to be Ratified by Referendums and which would be anchored fully on the Unfettered Self-Determination Rights of Each of the Nationalities clamped together by Britain into a Union of Death and Attrition since 1914, in Formations of their Choice.

The alternative to making this Urgent Acknowledgment and embarking on this Inevitable Transitioning at the latest, before the end of the Third Quarter of 2020, is the escalation of indiscriminate Unilateral Self-Preservation and Self-Determination Steps by the embattled and endangered Constituent Components of Nigeria.

The Mass Wedding of 1914 is now ending in Multiple Divorce Suits as silhouetted by the Yoruba Nation’s Entry into United Nations Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation (UNPO). grin

That piece of trash called a constitution needs to be trashed if we are serious about rebuilding this country.

I have been proposing a mock constitutional conference by every Nigerian youth online to come to bare their mind and enable us to know how to proceed in taking over our future and setting a constitution that'd be our guiding principle upon taking over and going forward.

Wonderful to hear this young man. Remain courageous!

So that we (SW, SS, SE & MB) work unitedly, go to the Lower Niger Congress facebook and website for information. All they do is in Alliance with Oduduwa and Middle Belt. Then contact them if you need more information. And tell your youth network. May God bless you.

PS: I also put a post called TAKING DOWN THE 1999 CONSTITUTION BY CONSTITUTIONAL FORCE MAJEURE – WHO IS DOING IT? here on Nairaland

Great post. That constitution is from the very pit of hell.

We must all resist every attempt to conduct another (s)election in 2023 based on that evil document.

It obvious the Constitution have many limitations, it is not viable, I guess those that came together to structured it were on codeine diet.
