Deconstructing Ben Nwabueze’s New Baby


Professor Ben Nwabueze, erudite constitutional lawyer, consummate and well-researched elder statesman drafted the unitary constitution thus abolishing the robust regional setup that made each region economically and politically viable. He abolished the regional governance because of General Aguiyi Ironsi who had just seized power after the gruesome murders of the prime minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, and others in 1966.

To ensure his grips on power, Ironsi used Nwabueze’s unitary document to bring Nigeria under one federating unit. It is intriguing that the same person whose document ended our regional experience is the same person crying for restructuring. What has happened that his beautiful policy is no longer an option but an oppressive tool? For us to take him serious, he must first apologise to Nigerians for abolishing the regional template.

Putting it succinctly, Eric Teniola chronicled Aguiyi Ironsi’s unification trajectory thus,

“Of all the decrees enacted in Nigeria, none is more controversial than Decree No 34 of 1966. It was promulgated on May 24, 1966 by then Head of State, Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi (1924-1966). It was called Unification Decree while some critics at that time labelled it the De-unification Decree.

It was the decree that started the death of regionalism – an issue that is still generating controversy till now. Although the next head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, repealed the Decree 34 on August 31, 1966 through Decree 9, a large portion of the Decree is still effective till today.

General Gowon further compounded it by promulgating Decree 14 of 1967, which broke Nigeria into 12 states and provided for military governors for each state. With Decrees 34, 8 and 14 regionalism was finally buried.

On assumption of power, General Aguiyi-Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966. He then issued Public Order Decree No 33 dated May 24 1966, which dissolved 81 political associations and 26 tribal and cultural associations.

At the early stage of his tenure, he appointed a three-man advisory team made up of Chief Francis Nwokedi, a permanent secretary, Dr Pius Charles Nwabafor Okigbo (1924-2000) and Colonel Patrick Anwunah, who later became chairman and head of the Orientation Committee at that time.’

This piece is for those who think the call for restructuring is a new idea, no, we had a well thought out governance template until Prof Ben Nwabueze truncated it with his unitary pooh pooh. This is setting the record straight otherwise he takes the glory of being a champion of a better Nigeria when in real sense he was the architect of a provincial and nepotistic leaning.

History is indeed a pathway to understanding governance templates and the intentions of policy framers. The old man exposed his policy stance decades ago. It begs the question: If it was bad yesterday, why and how is it good today? He who comes to equity must come with clean hands. Prof Ben is required to explain to this nation what he proposed to Ironsi and what was not implemented that necessitated the failure of the Unification decree. And then compare and contrast with what he is promoting now via restructuring. Until and unless this is done we will never know his true intention.

It is undeniable that professor Ben Nwabueze, drafted the ill-fated Unification Decree 34 of 1966 for Ironsi; drafted Decree 61 of 1993 that set up the Interim National Government (ING) headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan. Thus, Nwabueze helped to scuttle Abiola’s mandate, the same way he drafted Abacha’s Sovereign Conference sham. Conveniently, we can conclude that the elder statesman is a friend of dictators.

In trying to confuse those who aren’t familiar with alternative historical leaning, the well-schooled professor transmogrified into a civil friend of democratic administration when he signed into Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s National Confab this time around with the new song of restructuring, another bait used by some Nigerians to hoodwink the people – just like the second Niger Bridge which has become a sing-song for politicians who ride on the intelligence of the people of South East.

We can’t forget in a hurry how the old man professor of constitutional law gave tacit backing to Nnamdi Kanu during his infamous reign as the leader of the Independent People of Biafra. How he tactically dumped Kanu in support of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party is a study of elderly maverick stunts. Swimming with the convenient flow of the rivers is our elder statesman whose experiences in nation-building should be a resort instead of his endless ties with tribal apron. Having failed in his expectations, prof won’t die unless Atiku wins the presidential race of Nigeria, the same Nigeria Baba Nwabueze joined Nnamdi to call a zoo!

I'm anti Buhari but I only agree with him on one thing; Nigerian youths are lazy.
Big brother America has been there yet it never deterred young Americans from having very intelligent conversations on reddit.
With all due respect, naija youths are lazy.

Those men don't look like armed robbers to me. They are responsibly dressed. Not even a single rifle is displayed to show they are armed robbers
Nonsense

If dick rise now they will start shouting rape

dalass:
Under the influence ko? Nonsense!
QX is your excuse?
She definitely didn't enjoy it am certain... Guys be forming desperado cos you want to urgently offload... Hire olosho and pay...rubbish
Hope the military brother beats the devil of rape outta you..

Calm down,I'm in the same apartment with a 3 star general as I type now. My fear is the possible damage this will inflict on me. She's 100% joking but ..........

BlueAir:
pussyy nigga. Can u hear urself. .where's ur sense of masculinity



I would rather die a proud man than live a coward. .sic

A gal is joking with a sensitive issue as rape and you are talking about pride. You are not serious.

clive2u:
Mind how u talk around her cos if she record u admitting u it then she get case for court. Be wise

Jeez!
Seriously I was shocked when she mentioned it while we were discussing this COZA rape case.
She actually agreed on sex but started acting funny at a time when I was very high but she later told me she's just pretending and enjoyed the whole thing.

My girl friend jokingly told me that she's gonna tell her military brother that I raped her during one of her visits.
This issue is long settled cos she understands I was under the influence of QX and she even confessed to enjoying the whole drama cos i desperately needed to offload.
But bringing it up this time albeit jokingly is what I don't actually grab.
Please I need your advice cos I'm on flight mode as I'm typing this.

Jessyjack:
I had almost be raped by a pastor.... despite him not having his way because I don't know how God helped me to convince him that we should go meet in an hotel and he agreed, I couldn't stand the trauma that I fell sick for weeks and nobody knew what happened but my husband (then boyfriend)..... even when I finally had to tell my parents,they never believed me..... I was pained...... so if he has had his way years ago and I finally have the courage to speak out now,some idiot will be asking for evidence.....? I just don't know how some people reason.....

Abii you no wan tell us say pastor do?
