THE 1999 NIGERIA CONSTITUTION DECEPTION - SIMPLY EXPLAINED

A Constitution is a contract, a legal document. It describes how the people of a country have decided to live, so it is a social contract.

Thus, a Constitution is the legal agreement of a nation as to how the people within it want to be governed.

The 1999 Constitution is being used in Nigeria. Normally, for it to be properly done, a Constitution is made legitimate by voting in a Referendum. This never happened. The 1999 Constitution was forced upon the people unawares, so it was IMPOSED. The people had no part in making it, and have never agreed it. The Preamble (introduction) of this Constitution which claims that, "We the people of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, having firmly and solemnly resolved..." is simply not true. At no time did the ethnic nationalities come to agree this Constitution. It is a false statement, making the 1999 Constitution a FORGERY.

Since the 1999 Constitution is a forgery, it is invalid. That means it is NULL AND VOID. That means that it is not binding. It also means that this Constitution cannot "command the loyalty, obedience and confidence of the people.”

It also means that the various attempts at amending this Constitution by what is called "constitutional amendments" make no sense and are a waste of money and time because an invalid, a null and void Constitution logically cannot be amended. It is fit only to be thrown into the dustbin, so that new Constitution(s) are properly obtained.

Very valid points

There is no way every Nigerian will contribute to the constitution, we must be represented by some people(be it leaders or chosen representatives) who are Nigerians, this time either military administrators or civilians which was was happened in the case of the 1999 constitution.

Same way legislations are passed without the opinion of the common man.

Nigeria has been upside down since Lord Lugard brought his big head from wherever he came from.

Representatives MUST be chosen by the people!
Did that happen? NO!

Some of us here are just "willing tools" of Fulani and just want to help them enslave their own people!

Did SS give ourselves our stupid name of SS? Did SS ever want that our resources are taken by others and we get peanuts?
Come on man! Please do some reading and research because NOBODY at all represented Ogoja people or any of us in SS or SE.

The 1999 Constitution IS a FORGERY and a DECEPTION.

If you say otherwise bring the evidence. Write YOUR OWN article to explain it with your name on it like the writer of this piece did.

Nawa ohh

That's why some security force keep infringing the fundamental human right of citizenship.
