Why Do We Need A New Constitution? by bilms(m): 6:55am On May 09, 2021
*Why do we need a New Constitution?*

We had the pre Independent constitution.

We had the 1963 constitution

We had the 1979 constitution, which was adopted as 1999 constitution with little adjustment.

And all of these constitutions were product of wide consultation and endorsed by all parts of the country.

So, tell me, why do we need another constitution?

What can another constitution do for us that all the previous constitution cannot do?

Yes, they are working.

A constitution is just a document. Whether it would work or not, is the doing of we the people.

If any part of the constitution need imprọvement, you can amend it. So, what's the noise about?

So the quota system is also working right? Why should it be in the constitution in the first place.

Are priorities placed in the so called constitution?

Yes, it was serving the intended purpose.

Just like the Federal character, that says ministers and other offices should be from every state.

If we don't think it is worth it, we can amend it. No big deal

Tell us the difference between 1979 and 1999 constitution.

Even the democracy we are enjoying today was handed over by the military.

The people are tired of 1999 constitution and wants it torn and thrown to the dustbin. Who are you to say otherwise when all Nigerians are tired of an oppressive constitution?

I am part of the people and i am not tired. Even you that is speaking, you cannot point out any major difference between 1979 constitution and 1999.

Many have been brainwashed by noise makers to oppose something for no sane reason.
Re: Why Do We Need A New Constitution? by bilms(m): 8:45am On May 09, 2021
Who are the people Apart from me and you? And when did we agree that we are tired? What's in it to be tired about?

Because a constitution must be written and endorsed by the people and the people neither wrote nor endorsed the 1999 constitution

How can you explain the situation where the Fulani controls all the oil wells in Niger delta, heads all the oil and gas companies in south south and south east.
Re: Why Do We Need A New Constitution? by stevnwigw1: 10:25am On May 09, 2021
You current constitution supported it, if you think I'm lying, go do your research in case you don't know.

This country needs to be renegotiated if it will still remain as one.

You convinced the Niger delta that the Igbos are after their oil, thereby handing same to your Fulani brothers, do a random check on the owners of the oil wells and tell me. Do the kind of democracy in the United States, where every state controls every resources available in their domain.
