The Constitution Is An Obstacle To National Development by HellVictorinho6(m): 5:39am On Feb 11
Any constitution that does not cease to exist at this level of economic disasters is an obstacle.

Economic reforms have to start with a new constitution that will ensure political reforms too and all reforms must help to make things better for the masses immediately.

Which Constitution?

Honestly, should the letters of the Constitution as presently written are observed, Nigeria would be competing with not just US but Sweden, Singapore, development-wise.

For example, if we observed the Fiscal Federalism, where each region, in this case States explore the resources in their domain, every state will be doing something and not going cap in hand to Abuja every month end for allocation.

Every state of the federation would have exploited its area of economic advantage ranging from agriculture to mineral exploration

Thank God you are saying the same thing.
It's not the Constitution that is the problem but the managers of our resources. They're in an unholy alliance against the poor.

Corruption and lopsided/selective implementation of the Constitution are the twin pillars that hinder Nigeria development

There is nothing like a perfect constitution, nothing wrong with the constitution 1999 as Amended, the people are just lazy minded.

Give us the United States & Swiss Constitution we will be bigger failures.

Isn’t the Act that created the EFCC a creation of the National Assembly?

All Acts of parliament get there powers from the constitution.

Have we not had the chairman of the EFCC into
'legendary' corruption?

Is the EFCC not witholding info that is useful unto specifically and verifiably exposing those worthless rulers?

how many politicians have they stopped from living an unimaginably lavish lifestyle?

Like I told you initially nothing wrong with the Nigeria constitution, the people practicing the constitution are the problem.

Animals have no respect for order, they prefer force ie Military Rule.

in other words, they did not devise/determine a better strategy to steal than the politicians.

the nigerian constitution is in support of certain things apart from otis cars....that cant help matters.

military rule does not stop military rulers from doing worse

The problem of Nigeria is just INEC. You can't put the wrong people in power and want them to do the right thing. As far as INEC is setup by the same politicians you are complaining about then Nigeria will never move forward. Let non political/partisan past and present leaders of ASUU,NBA,NANS,NLC come together and setup and conduct elections and watch if Nigeria will not work

even if they set it up, itz the same politicians that will contest with the same aim,4get


the economy needs people with a different aim but these politicians have made it too expensive for such people.



these politicians control the courts,therefore control the law.

therefore ,those with a different aim, which is to reduce cost of politics/governance , have to make enough money to get there first.
