REFERENDUMS FOR THE ETHNIC NATIONALITIES OF NIGERIA - AN EXPLANATION

December 10, 2020

BACKGROUND
In Nigeria, although we call it a Constitution, the 1999 Constitution is really Military Decree 24, just renamed. It was imposed on Nigerians, and falsely claims to have been made and agreed by "we the people", (ie the Constituent Components of Nigeria), thus it is a forgery and illegitimate.
Let's get this straight: For it to be called a Constitution, it MUST be made by "we the people", otherwise it is simply NOT a Constitution!

Logic: imagine being given a USA 100 dollar bill that is a forgery as it is actually just a colour photocopy cut out using scissors. Is this forged fake 100 dollar bill valid as money? Is there any kind of "amendment" you can do that can turn this photocopy into real money? So now you see why the 1999 Constitution that was not made by "we the people" cannot be amended to make it real and valid as a Constitution.

It must therefore be thrown out and thank goodness that the National Assembly has finally acknowledged that it has no power to make a new Constitution.

REASONS FOR REFERENDUMS
It is this 1999 Constitution, a forgery, that firstly creates the Union of Ethnic Nationalities that make up Nigeria. Then it also controls and regulates what happens in that Union. Justice and Democracy demand that "we the PEOPLES" of Nigeria make our own real Constitutions in the right way. You see, a Federation ought to be a collection (a union) of Constitutions made by each Region/Bloc, and so it is also wrong and deceitful to have just one Constitution.

Therefore, when the 1999 Constitution that has been repudiated is taken down and thrown out (by legal process of Force Majeure), the Unitary Union it imposes on us ends, at least technically. That is why Ethnic Nationalities, in Blocs/Groupings of their choice, must decide to either Re-commit to, or Exit this Union. This is done by Referendum. For that, Ethnic Nationalities in Blocs/Groupings will ask their people whether or not they want to be in this Union. Referendums ensure that "we the people" are making decisions for ourselves using our SOVEREIGNTY over our lives, our future, our ancestral lands and our resources.

We also need to be clear about this: The 1963 Constitution was the last proper Constitution that Nigeria had. However, it ended when we had the military coups of 1966. Since that time, till now, Nigeria has been under Military Decrees. Don't forget, as already mentioned, the 1999 Constitution is not a Constitution but is Military Decree 24.

So, you may wonder why we don't just return to that 1963 Constitution.

We cannot do that by the snap of a finger because Nigeria has changed too much from the type of Union we had agreed to be before Independence. There is the big question of what to do with the Sharia imposed by 12 neighbouring States of the Far North in a Union supposed to be Secular if the Union is to remain. Moreover, Nigeria was also dragged into the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation/Conference (OIC), an organisation that says it is "the collective voice of the Muslim world". Now too, Ethnic Nationalities no longer have control of their resources and assets, we have 36 States plus FCT, we no longer have a Parliamentary system, we have 774 local government areas, we no longer have Bakassi Peninsula, etc. Essentially, the current Nigeria does not in any way resemble the Nigeria we had agreed to be in, as a Political Union at the time of Independence in 1960. Thus, there must be a Clear Process to take us from where we currently are in a Unitary structure to the where we wish to be.

We are in the era of an Alternative Culture for this territory. It is now time to do the right thing and to do the right thing the right way. There can be no short cuts, and we cannot tolerate any more deceit and fraud, or imposition.

Here is the democratic and fair way forward, that brings about justice and democracy:
1) Take down the imposed 1999 Constitution, a forgery that has been repudiated, by Force Majeure.
2) Have a Transitional Government when Ethnic Nationalities will have their Referendums in the Blocs/Groupings of their choice, to decide the future of the Union.
3) The results of these Referendums will determine what happens next.

This is not complicated. There is therefore no reason to be confused.

You do not have to worry if you do not know the processes and procedures, because we have experts who have been working on this for over 20 years who know what to do and how to do it (Movement for New/No Nigeria (MNN) Alliance). For updates please regularly go to www.freedomfromnigeria.com

Very enlightening post OP, it shares so much light and a clear path to how Nigeria should be, but these issues beg for answers;

1. Who will initiate it

-2. How will they fight opposing voices (especially those gaining from the system)

3. What's their solution in case a civil war breaks out due to break down in negotiations (remember 1966)

How will the military be kept at bay when this is in play because we know them to take power during chaos

Also remember Nigeria isn't a completely democratic state even though we claim to be.
