The Constitution Of Nigeria Is The Genesis Of Our Problems. by Abasman008(m): 12:39pm On Oct 23, 2020
When Governors who are supposed to be calling for nationalism make careless statements like "let's protect our infrastructure from people who have come from outside to destroy the" . What does this mean? What does an Ibgo man look like to a Yoruba man after hearing these kinda speeches (and vice versa) from almost all the Governors speaking to their citizens about the protests destructive outcome. I tought we are all Nigerians? This creates room for hate and more distrust and therefore more destruction.

I don't blame anyone for this behavior than our constitution which has been written in a way that some peoples hide under to commit crimes and peoples right can not be exercised because of thier geographical situation.. for instance an Enugu person can never be a governor in kaduna because he's not from there, so even if he stays there 40 years his right to vote and be voted for does is not implemented. This makes the man always keep his mind of whats going on around him, let alone contribute positively to it. This makes him more inclined to his own people, this further tightens the noose on ethnicsm and nepotism..

But imagine if the Constitution allows you to take indegenship of your tribe but citizenship of were ever you are born enabling you to exercise your rights in what ever part of the country you are born. This means you will have to learn to love your state of birth and contribute towards it's growth in every aspect, but retain the right to take indegeneous titles from your indegeneous tribe....

This will bring about diversity and cohesion...our constitution is the problem, it's written in a way that'll will favour a group of people and only those lucky to be a representative of the state is rich and recognized. While the people keep waiting for him to represent them well .This fueled by religion makes one see them as Demi God's, hence the Nigeria we see today.

This and a very careful modifications to our constitution including the issue of head of state and prime minister will bring us to the light.
