Arrewa:
declare your Biafra... And stop all this noise.

[s]We are not holding any igbo man.

The last time we gave you guys quite notice.

All your governors including your elders were all kicking and wailing begging for forgiveness.
[/s]

Frick off back to Futa Jallon and leave the indigenous people of this territory alone.

We need nothing from your ilk. Not your advice.

Not your people. Not your culture of killing and backwardness.

Arrewa:
nobody is stopping you... Why not declare your Biafra? What's stopping you?

Why are you writing like mumu? Did the post I put out not say that UN protocols are being followed? So a process and procedure is being followed and Igbo plus Ogoja, Ogoni, Ijaw, Efik, Anang, Urhobo, Itsekisi, Bini, Esan, Kalabar, ALL of us will declare our Independence from imposed "One Nigeria" and then have our Sovereignty, our Independence, our Resource Control our Self-determination etc.
The same for Oduduwa.
The same for ethnic nationalities of Middle Belt.

Google it to learn! We are in Alliance Territory (see the poster with map I myself attached to my post here) working in our Blocs for same purpose of FREEDOM from the nonsense and terrorism that Arewa's "One Nigeria" represents.

We are following UN protocols because we are not idiots.

Arrewa:
[s]Igbos Sha!

Tomorrow someone will come tell me that Igbos are the smartest people in Nigeria.

So for una akpu brain...HausaFulanis don't have Christians... Kanuri and Nupe don't have Christians.

The only people that have Christians in the north are the southern kaduna and some other tribes in the north central.

So you people declare north central a Christian region and decided to give them the name "middle belt" and declare all Hausa and Fulanis in the north east and north west as Muslims.

Wow[/s]

Usman Dan Fodio's dream that Fulani nonsense will only last 200 years is coming to pass!

Gideon Orkar prophecy that Arewa-Sharia will be separate from the rest of the territory is coming to pass!

Google them!

Ha ha ha.....

By the way, the entire world know Igbo are clever.

They are my Black brethren. I celebrate any Black people who are doing well because their well-ness is for the Black Race.

You of Futa Jallon. Just Frick off back to your ancestral home.

BEWARE HAUSA AND AREWA MINORITIES

The nation has woken up to see that Lord Lugard’s wicked experiment of Amalgamation was wrong. Fulani who seized land from Hausa and core North minorities are still marching with their cows to do jihad and seize more land under their beloved Usman Dan Fodio who told them that Fulani would dip the Koran to the sea, and so grab all our ancestral lands to our coast by jihad and genocide.

Hausa and Arewa minorities have also woken to see that Middle Belt and South are working to leave this imposed Union. It is a Union invented by a fraudulent 1999 Constitution that We the people did not make or agree. Hausa and Arewa minorities now see the money they have been receiving through State robbery from resources of South and MB will be no more! They are using any tricks to try their very best to keep this Union. Some tricks are these:

THEY SAY: You cannot leave the Union. What about the Christians in Arewaland?
Well, those Christians there have lived these last 20 years under Sharia and as God helps them, will continue to. We cannot for the sake of those few there then hold out our own necks in MB and South for Fulani to kill us and grab our ancestral land to the sea.

THEY SAY: We too have been oppressed by Fulani these past 200 years. You cannot leave us alone with them.
Well, Hausa and Arewa minorities made the choice to ally with Fulani against South and MB. They are the ones giving quit notice to Southerners. They are the ones carrying out the killing of Southerners in their area. They are the ones together with Fulani benefiting from money from South oil producing areas and never came to assistance of the South. Instead they have always sided with Fulani.

WARNING TO SOUTH & MIDDLE BELT
Our freedom from Fulani and Arewa dominance and oppression is approaching. We see it. They see it. They will not want us who they see as their slaves, to go to our freedom and prosperity. They will use all manner of tricks and manipulation to try to get us to remain enslaved. If any of our people want, let them go live in Arewaland and stay there with them to help them if they want. As for us of South and MB, enough is enough. We have wasted too much time being Arewa slaves. Our children deserve the same good life children in Europe have. Our children deserve the same good safety children in Europe enjoy. We must work in our own Blocs to rescue ourselves from Arewa terrorism, Arewa land grab, Arewa water grab, Arewa Fulanization, and Arewa backwardness.

Hausa and Arewa minorities can save themselves from Fulani if they wish and are not just trying tricks on us. There are only about 4 million Fulani so let them deal with them! The United Nations has protocols for indigenous people anywhere in the world to set themselves free from any oppressor. So let the Hausa and Arewa minorities go to the UN. That is what South and MB are doing. We cannot be distracted by Hausa and Arewa minorities, they must work for their own saving. Just as we are working for our own freedom.

Please inform all people of South and Middle Belt.

One Excellent comment from the newspaper article site reads:

"[b]It is a fact acknowledged by most Nigerians that Muhammadu Buhari is the President of Fulani and Miyeti Allah Nation. He has demonstrated his singular focus to provide and protect the agenda of his tribal base. He is doing his best to grant these Northern criminals direct access to resources of Southern Nigeria – this time through a dubious legislation, the National Water resources Bill. What has the North offered the South lately beside half-baked managers who are least qualified to manage a shoe shop in Balogun Street but are ruining NNPC and our refineries to the ground, and looting it?

Muhammadu Buhari has done more to awaken Yoruba and Igbo Nations to the fact that there is very little in Nigeria for them, and understand clearly that the North cannot do without them, without their resources and their goodwill. Considering the myriads of issues facing Nigeria, including Boko Haram onslaught, insecurity across the nation, massive unemployment of youths and corruption right inside Aso Rock and inside Buhari’s government, it is the National Water resources Bill that is uppermost on Muhammadu Buhari’s mind!

It will mark the beginning of the end for the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila if this dubious Buhari Water Bill becomes law. This recycled bill that failed a few years back is being pushed vigorously by the number one enemy of one Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari. Clearly, it is time to call a round table to determine the terms of succession and division of Nigeria. Muhammadu Buhari is an enemy of Southern Nigeria. He is ready and happy to take from them and to deny them to satisfy his Fulani and Miyeti Allah Nation."[/b]

gji3ec1:
it should be trashed ASAP

Middle Belt, Odududuwa and Lower Niger Bloc (SE & SS) should immediately leave this Union which is fake anyway because the 1999 Constitution is a forgery and null and void.

If politicians from our own area support this Bill.... let them see.

It CANNOT stand at any international Court since the Constitution that binds us ethnic nationalities is a forgery so invalid.

TRASH THAT NATIONAL WATER RESOURCES BILL 2020
Guardian Newspaper Editorial
By Editorial Board

A recent reintroduction of the vexatious National Water Resources Bill, which was rejected in 2018 by the National Assembly (NASS) is curious at this time.

President Muhammadu Buhari, whose office returned the Bill, must have some inexplicable motive for pushing it at all cost. The surreptitious plot to ram it through the federal legislature speaks volume for some hidden agenda.

That Bill is suspicious. A Bill that is out to rob many people, in broad day light, of their means of livelihood cannot but attract resentment and condemnation.

It is inconceivable that indigenous peoples, especially, in the South and Middle Belt regions of Nigeria would accept to be alienated from their God-given water resources. The National Assembly would do well to once again, trash the Bill to save the country from avoidable conflagration. The representatives of the people had better let the sleeping dog lie to avoid another round of crisis in the already volatile polity.

The repugnant and detestable land-grabbing Bill, which obviously is suspected to grant Fulani herdsmen and Miyeti Allah cattle breeders unfettered access to land and water resources in Southern Nigeria, can only trigger national upheaval.

Coming at a time when Nigerians are clamouring for proper federalism that entails devolution of powers to the states and local authorities, the introduction of a Water Resources Bill by President Buhari, to further alienate the people is unfortunate. The president should withdraw the bill in public interest.

When the Bill was first introduced in the 8th Senate, it generated controversy across the country, because of its desire to have the Federal Government take control of lands and water resources in the country. The perception by the public that the Bill was a decoy to advance the interest of the cattle herding Fulani population was palpable.

Though the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, had reportedly raised concerns over the piece of legislation, by querying, “is this not the same Bill that generated controversy in the media,” he still allowed it to pass. And the question is why? Why did he not shut it down knowing the gravity of the implications of the Bill if passed into law?

The Bill, entitled “National Water Resources Bill, 2020,” was arbitrarily reintroduced in the Green Chamber, in breach of its rules, legislative convention and provisions of the 1999 constitution before the House adjourned for a two-month recess on Thursday, July 23, 2020.

It was therefore shocking that on Thursday, July 23, 2020, the House had, in referring to Order 12, Rule 16 of the Standing Orders of the House of Representatives, 9th Edition, passed the National Water Resources Bill, 2020 and committed it to a “Committee of the Whole”, for third reading and final passage. The presentation of the Bill was done by the House Chairman on Rules and Business, Fulata.

Analysts say the referral of the Bill to the Committee of the Whole breached Order 12, Rule 16 of the Standing Orders of the House. Though the Order states that such a bill from a preceding Assembly be gazetted and clean copies circulated, reports say none of that was done.

The Bill seeks to bring all water resources (surface and underground) and the banks of the water sources under the control of the Federal Government through its agencies to be established by the Bill.

Section 13 of the Bill, states, “in implementing the principles under subsection (2) of this section, the institutions established under this Act shall promote integrated water resources management and the coordinated management of land and water resources, surface water and ground water resources, river basins and adjacent marine and coastal environment and upstream and downstream interests.”

Section 2(1) of the Bill, says: “All surface water and ground water wherever it occurs, is a resource common to all people.’’ The Bill is primed for passage by the House on their resumption from recess next month, which is September.

Reacting to the secret plot to pass the bill, the Southern, Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF), called on Nigerians to be ready for a protracted resistance to the move by the lawmakers.

The authorities in Abuja should not ignore the warning statement by the Southern and Middle Belt Forum on this hot potato. In their statement: “The Southern and Middle Belt Leaders Forum calls on all the communities opposed to the bill, meant to grab land around waterways for cattle herders, to use the break time to organize community special sittings for their representatives to explain the meaning of this latest move and their roles in it.” The Bill, if passed into law, will clip the wings of state and local government authorities as well as individuals from making use of the water at their backyard without permit from Abuja. This development will engender serious contentions across Nigeria. The result would be water wars, which would be more devastating than the contentions over grazing land and even oilfields.

BEST RESPONSE TO IGBO PRESIDENCY IN 2023

God forbid there should still be "One Nigeria" in 2023.

One Twitter idiot with a huge following was saying that Igbo must be President in 2023. Igbos, please shine your eyes ooo. Resist all Arewa tricks. Our Bloc will be its own country where all of us (SS & SE together) will have Self-Determination. So don't mind this "One Nigeria" that is the devil's making. There is a much better future ahead, so instead use your minds and energy to get our new country. Realization of Oduduwa nation is moving well. We too should focus to actualization of our own new shiny shiny nation!

This tweet below is the best reply to anybody who proposes Igbo (or SS) Presidency for "One Nigeria" in 2023 or at any time:

"Ndi-Igbo can do a lot better than be president of a failed nation.
Since they were never at the helm in ruining Nigeria, why should they now be given a gift that has no value?
I shall over time be telling Ndi-Igbo the better thing that makes sense and will bring contentment!"

ggirl4real:
Can't this country just be divided?

Yes oooo

OVB123:
Niger Delta is finished! This people want to meek us dry.

But our own politicians are the "willing tools" who allow it!

That is worse than what Fulani are doing. Our OWN politicians of the South & MB help Fulani to rob us!

AREWA SAYS: BAYELSA OIL BELONGS TO JIGAWA – HON FAROOK ALIYU (MAY 2013), VIDEO

4 minutes video (May 2013) where Hon. Farook Adamu Aliyu says:
“Bayelsa oil belongs to Jigawa. The oil in Delta belongs to Jigawa. Yes. Because we are called Nigeria today… As long as we are “Nigeria” we will make sure we have uninterrupted supply of oil, so there will be uninterrupted supply of money to Jigawa State”

The IMPOSED 1999 Constitution is the means that oil belonging to Bayelsa, Delta and every other oil producing area is taken to Arewa. The ethnic nationalities of the South NEVER agreed this arrangement. NEVER! It is a robbery of ethnic nations’ resources using State power through a Constitution that is a known FORGERY. We don’t blame Fulani and Arewa. No! We blame our own politicians, our Senators, Reps, Governors etc for swearing to uphold a 1999 Constitution that is a forgery used to rob their own people! Our politicians are the “willing tools” of Fulani to enslave us and entrap us, for which they are rewarded with big money and contracts. Having in this manner helped Arewa, our politicians then make sure their own children will not be in Nigeria to suffer it but put them abroad. Our politicians are traitors against who do not wish us well!

helinues:
Those people will never support any new constitution or restructuring as it will stripped them from their parasitic ways

Doesn't matter whatever they want. I'm not interested in them. I'm interested in my people and in doing what's right. Having an Apartheid system in Nigeria is NOT right.

At Independence UK gave them power over Nigeria.

60 years have passed. Power has changed hands.

The 1999 Constitution is a forgery, it's a lie. Nobody can hold power over others with a lie. Not even Arewa.

The truth is setting us free!

AREWA AT THEIR TRICKS AGAIN RE: 1999 CONSTITUTION

Trick 1
The NASS is going to go about on yet another series of "Constitutional Amendments".
--The 1999 Constitution which was imposed and is a known forgery, is null and void, so cannot be amended. The soon-to-be Constitutional Amendment exercise is therefore just another pointless, corrupt exercise.


Trick 2
Recently, the Northern Elders Forum recommended a “Nigerian Peoples’ Conference On Review Of The Constitution” to improve “OUR Constitution”.
--They were just trying to be clever because the ethnic nationalities of the Middle Belt and South were not involved in making this Constitution so it is a lie to say “OUR”. It is not OUR Constitution! The 1999 Constitution was IMPOSED upon the people, and has been kept there by State power.


Trick 3
The same Northern Elders Forum also suggested that the outcome of that Nigerian Peoples’ Conference would be submitted to the NASS which would provide for a Referendum so that the changes would be added to the Constitution and give us a “new” Constitution.
--The honest and internationally accepted way forward is firstly to throw out the fraudulent 1999 Constitution then have a Transitional Government. The different Blocs in Nigeria of Oduduwa, Middle Belt, Arewa and Lower Niger (SE and SS together) under their right to Self-Determination will carry out their Referendums.
It is only IF the Blocs want to come together as a Union that the question of a new Constitution will arise.

To South and Middle Belt, we really need to think then act like adults at these perilous times. It is our children who will suffer the consequences of our actions and inactions.

Please forward to the people of the South and Middle Belt.

Awol1:
There needs to be a tough southerner who will take up the leadership of this country and clean up the mess northern men have made of this country.

Enthrone merit as against quota system.

Expell the Fulani from this country.

We are going to do better than that. We are going to end this Union which is held by an imposed 1999 Constitution that is a forgery, so even the Union is fake. Rubbish "country" with its 419 Union. Mtchew....

THE ORDINARY PEOPLE OF SOUTH AND MIDDLE BELT HAVE COME OF AGE

Centuries ago our rulers colluded with foreign slave traders to sell us after kidnapping us. They did so for personal gain: guns, mirrors, glass beads etc. Today nothing has changed. Our kings, chiefs, and political heads have chosen to have imposed upon us a 1999 Constitution that they know is a forgery, is Apartheid against South and Middle Belt, and that prevents development, all for the personal reward money they get. They keep their own children abroad, far away from this very backwards Nigeria that they keep for us ordinary people.

We have come of age. We say to our rulers: kings, chiefs, and politicians that we are not as our fathers who they kept under their power. We know our human rights. Any of them who decide to work against the interest and good of their own people will be noted. They themselves and their children will fall into the pit that they have dug for us. They will fall into it unawares. They will never get out of it.

This is to inform our rulers: kings, chiefs, and politicians that as their counterparts in Europe and USA behave, ie in those places where they have kept their own children to have a good and safe life, so too must they do for us here. Disrespecting us and our desire to have a good life in our own ancestral lands means they will heap disrespect upon themselves. As they give to us, so we shall give to them.

We the people are watching our rulers: kings, chiefs, and politicians. They are our public servants and their job is to give us what we tell them we want. If they haven't got the mental or moral ability to work for the good of their own people, then they must resign. Upcoming events relating to the 1999 Constitution that is a forgery so cannot be amended but must be thrown out, will reveal whether they have declared hatred upon their people and work against our good, or friendship and work for our welfare and benefit. It will be noted by us, the ordinary people.

Please share.

EVERY SINGLE THING about One Nigeria is a work of Satan.

Nonsense Union.

If any Unionist comes to talk their rubbish to me this Sunday, I will slap their mouth.

Nigeria? We are done with it!

Dissolution is Nigeria's solution.

FROM SHITTU ALAO TO TOLULOPE AROTILE -THE FORCES BITE THE DUST
Basil Okoh
July 21, 2020
Facebook

Lieutenant Colonel Shittu Alao was to be appointed the Chief of Staff of the Nigerian Airforce during the Civil War 1967-1970. He was one of the very first fighter pilots to be trained by the Nigerian Government. At the time, there was no Airforce to speak of, it was just a department in the land army.
Before his time, was the equally trail blazing Brigadier George Kurubo. But Kurubo was from the Eastern Region which had declared secession as the State of Biafra and this meant at the time, he could not possibly be made head of the new Air force.

Shittu was a Yoruba man, although he was born and lived most of his life in Jos, Northern Nigeria. The intensity of politics in the armed Forces at the time was ferocious. Nigeria did not really have a respected Airforce to speak of at the time. It absolutely had no capacity to fight an air war against the Biafrans or anybody else. But the competition for power and control in the armed forces was demonic.

Northern Officers were determined not to hand over the headship of a branch of the armed forces to a quixotic Yoruba man, even if by birth and upbringing Shittu Alao was a Northerner. There were many layers of conspiracy against Col. Alao becoming Chief of Air Staff.

Shittu Alao knew all these but didn’t quite internalize the demonic nature of the fight unfolding before him and didn’t think his “colleagues” would hurt him or do anything that would negatively impact on the war effort. He was wrong.

Shittu Alao was on a solo bombing raid to Biafra when a bomb planted in his cabin went off and the aircraft exploded. He crashed at Uzebba, now in Edo State on 15th of October 1969. The accident report was never made public to this day but two months later, a Northerner, Lieutenant Colonel Emmanuel Ikwue was appointed Chief of Air Staff.

All through the Civil War, all of Nigeria's bombing raids in Biafra were carried out by hired Egyptian pilots on MIG19. This was the major reason for the indiscriminate bombing of Biafran Civilian targets, hospitals, schools, markets etc and the reason also for the high casualty rates. The fighter pilots were all Egyptians who could not be controlled by General Yakubu Gowon or other Nigerian officers, particularly after the death of Col. Shittu Alao.
Tolulope Arotile, before her numbing death from a car on reverse gear, was the first female Helicopter combat pilot to be qualified by the Nigerian Airforce. She endured the pains and challenges of training in Nigeria and other countries of the world, including in South Africa.

It is reported that she had taken part in many sorties by the Nigeria Airforce in the battles against Boko Haram in the North East of Nigeria and proved herself in outstanding fashion. Tolu was Yoruba born in Kaduna State. She was a trailblazer characterized as calm and steady in flight and in operations. Now she is dead and lost to the Airforce and to Nigeria and her family.

What started as a petty conspiracy to take out the Yoruba rival Shittu Alao has perhaps now blossomed into an enduring practice in the armed forces to take out trailblazers and star performers. What a self destructing institution!

The Armed Forces of Nigeria has maintained a tradition since July 1966, of quota system for promotion, postings and advancement of it’s officers and men. For many decades after the Civil War, no Igbo officer could be promoted beyond nominated ranks.

Officers from Northern regions of the country were promoted without the qualifying credentials. Major General Muhammadu Buhari and so many others like him did not pass any army examinations and rose to the rank of General without a pass in the officer staff schools or meeting the performance levels required to earn promotion in the officer cadre.

This has resulted, through the years, in the diminished quality of Nigerian fighting forces and the mess we are presently witnessing in engagements with a rag tag Boko Haram. It has also helped to diminish the fighting quality and capacity of the armed forces, particularly it’s command ranks.
Now captured Boko Haram fighters are now trained and incorporated into the same armed forces they once fought against and perhaps killed so many. You need another name for betrayal and self destructiveness at high levels.

It will be numbing to make a count of young men and women dying from the many battlefields across Nigeria in undeclared wars and from the lack of quality commands, fighting skills and cohesion that now characterize the fighting forces of Nigeria since 2015.

The civil population keep hearing of Commanders at the front being shot at the back by their own soldiers. Images of dead fighting men fill the social media, killed in bizarre circumstances at the various fronts in undeclared wars. The old are burying the young in Nigeria.

This is why Nigerians do not trust the explanations given by the Airforce concerning the death of Miss Tolulope Arotile. People do not just believe that a car moving slowly in reverse gear knocked down Tolu and killed her outright.

Too many good and young soldiers have died in crazy circumstances and the armed forces have spent energy and so much resources to explain away their deaths to an unbeleiving population. Too many diabolic things are happening in the armed forces and too many officers and men are expressing disillusionment and loss of interest for their choice of careers in the armed forces. The Nigerian armed forces is bleeding to death. Death and dying are the only reports we are getting from our fighting men and women.

The officer Corp has maintained a conspiratorial silence on these deaths and the unrelenting decimation going on in the armed forces. The quality of command has become so shameful that the armed forces finds it necessary to chase News Agencies and reporters out of the frontlines in order to hide the shame.

There is now no international news agency reporting the Boko Haram war. REUTERS, UPI, AFP, INTER-TASS, BBC and even NAN, all have been chased out of the Northeast. And this is the twenty first century, the age of information.

But then the world knows the shame going on in the Northeast in the name of warfare. The disorderliness, the inflated bills, lack of fighting capacity and cowardice of the Nigerian armed forces is being exposed to the world everyday. The war is obviously being monitored by the agencies of the world and they are better informed than even the Nigerian Government itself. You can’t hide this war for much longer.

Nigeria is eating its young and the clash of cymbals are getting eerily quiet in the Northeastern Boko Haram front.

Still and never will accept kanu as a leader.

Is alright. It will be by vote. If he is eligible to be leader at any level, he can put himself forward then we vote.

Nigeria is dysfunctional so we have been brought up to be emotional. In our new nation we will use our heads so that we can be equal or even superior to Oyeebo and Chinese.

Our enemy for now is Arewa who are the terrorist peoples of this space, and it is they and they alone who are carrying out genocide and land grab.

BabaOwen:
He will be the first president of Biafra

Please my brother, let us think like adults. Fanaticism is for Arewa. For us to have good new countries, NOBODY can impose their own personal choice or opinion on the rest of us. We will vote. That is how civilised people live. We of East and Mid-West will live like intelligent adults, in our new country after this Union is dissolved.

My dear Igbo brothers and sisters, you and us of SS (I am your Ogoja brother) shall be free. We shall escape this Union together. Worry not, but we must work towards this our common goal. Either our united country can by vote be called Biafra (if majority agree, not by imposition). Or the Igbo Region within it will be called Biafra (after you vote the name for it you want). So no matter what, the flag of Biafra will fly. All of us of East and Mid-West have suffered greatly under the same 1999 Constitution and the cabal that imposed it. (See my other posts for more information)

I had been hearing things, then one of my Igbo extended family in-laws (SS like to marry Igbo because we know ourselves as being of similar histories and similar orientation) showed me the video from facebook which I post below.

Please, be careful oooo.... We are going to leave this Union and we can do it with no loss of life if we stick to a non-violent strategy, so it will be terrible if those following Nnamdi Kanu let their lives get wasted. They need to ask deep questions and get detailed replies from Kanu because literally their lives depend on it. Kanu is safe abroad. It is those here who will perish if he is misleading them.
We are Nigerians. We know there is nothing a Nigerian will not do for love of money. He will even make ritual out of his own mother who gave him life for sake of money. So I beg una, shine your eyes ooo... Find out exactly where Kanu is going. Like Oyeebo do in matters, get EVIDENCE so you can satisfy your mind. We all want an end of this Union, but we can get it by a good safe way.

JohnNU:
Its not the language that is our problem, disunity is our biggest challenge in the middlebelt.

When you keep on emphasising "disunity" then it worsens the problem.

But this post is not about that. It provides a solution to one of the many problems. So one less problem.

I myself think the elders want to keep on talking about "disunity" because they are idiots. But the youth have internet and more intelligent knowledge so are in better position to unite among themselves. who would have thought that South and MB could unite in Alliance? And it has happened and is getting stronger. Our good elder Dr Obadiah Mailafia has done much to unite us all more.

Now, when you mention a problem, add a possible solution so that our people can grow up and be more like Oyeebo and Chinese. They too have challenges but provide solutions for them.

FRIENDLY ADVICE TO MY MIDDLE BELT BRETHREN TO DE-COLONIZE YOUR MINDS

I wish my brethren of Middle Belt a good future. Your forefathers made a mistake in allying themselves with Arewa, but that alliance has unravelled and is unravelling more and more each day.

Arewa will keep on calling you “North Central” but that is the way of losers who try to keep a hold of their lost power. For now, until you all decide the name you want for your new nation, we shall refer to you as Middle Belt which is what you have told us you want.

But here is my advice to you:
Your forefathers stooped under Arewa and taught you all that Hausa language will benefit you. Well, it has not. As we see it is the language that terrorists use (Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, ISIS and now too Al-Qaeda). It is the language that is used to make you wrongly think that you are part of Arewa. You are not part of them. You are your own people. So my advice, to help you de-colonize your minds from anything Arewa, is to STOP speaking the Arewa language. Speak your own ethnic languages and then also English. That is all you need to thrive in the world of today. (There are Africans trying to select a language for all Black people everywhere, a Lingua Franca, for us. When that happens, we all will add that language to what we speak).

So to repeat: My Middle Belt brethren, STOP speaking Hausa. Stop listening to Hausa music. Stop teaching your children Hausa. Stop those things that tie you to Arewa.

Please spread this advice. Then brethren of the South, let us help them spread this mind de-colonizing advice.

NIGERIANS – REFERENDUM IS THE NEW BUZZ WORD!

We thank God for those people in the Middle Belt and South who revealed to us that the 1999 Constitution was IMPOSED upon us, and is a FORGERY so it is NULL AND VOID and thus CANNOT BE AMENDED. We thank God!

The only thing that ever held our Union since Independence in 1960 is our Constitutions. Nothing else. So today it is the 1999 Constitution that is holding our Union. Since it is a FORGERY and so NULL AND VOID, do we even have any Union? Look at it this way: If a man called Mohamed gets a fake and illegitimate marriage certificate that says he is married to Ngozi without even asking her or her family for consent, is there any marriage? So we see that we have been DECEIVED. There is really NO UNION called “Nigeria”!

What should we do now?
Those of us who want to live in the TRUTH must REJECT this LYING, UNTRUE, FAKE 1999 Constitution. Then we DEMAND and INSIST upon a REFERENDUM.

A REFERENDUM to first ask all the indigenous ethnic nationalities if we want to be in any Union. This is the very first and most important question. Let us deal with this question first of all, because the answer will determine what happens next.

What about those Unionists who want to continue to live a lie and pretence under this imposed 1999 Constitution that is a forgery?
They can take themselves to international organisations and explain their lying reasoning there. As for us, the TRUTH is simple and EASY to understand and live under. The MAD DECEIT must end and REFERENDUM is the way to do it.

This is the new buzz word: REFERENDUM.

REFERENDUM to determine the fate of the Union called “One Nigeria”
REFERENDUM to determine the fate of the Union called “One Nigeria”
REFERENDUM to determine the fate of the Union called “One Nigeria”

Please forward and keep on forwarding to our people in “One Nigeria” and in the diaspora.

Now with their own NBA.

SEPARATION FROM AREWA IS SALVATION FOR SOUTH & MIDDLE BELT!

NEW NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION FAULTS NBA OVER GOVERNOR ELRUFAI’ DIS-INVITATION TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE
By John Gabriel
Daily Post
August 27, 2020

A splinter group of the Nigerian Bar Association called the New Nigerian Bar Association has faulted the decision of the foremost legal body to rescind its invitation to Governor Nasir Elrufai to its annual conference, as a speaker.

A press statement signed by members of the New NBA body, Barrister Abdulbasit Suleiman Esq, and Nuhu Ibrahim Esq, said the recent rumblings from the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has left much to be desired within the ranks of concerned lawyers especially from the Northern part of the Country.

According to the statement, the recent happening has exposed the inability of the NBA to manage and contain the heterogeneity of its members as well as their various interests.

The group said it has now resolved to form its own legal body for the protection of the interest of its members.

“It’s penal powers have been deployed discriminatively based on ethnicity and regionalism.

“As a body of Lawyers who have undergone training towards ensuring the promotion and protection of Human rights and liberties, the NBA is supposed to live above sentiments, regionalism and discrimination on any basis and of any kind.

“Therefore, the NBA cannot afford to be seen not to be upholding the rights and freedom of its members if at all, it should be seen to be practising what it preaches.

The statement further added that “based on the foregoing, some Lawyers of like mind and duly called to the Nigerian Bar have decided to form New Nigerian Bar Association to protect their interests as encapsulated under Section 40 of the Constitution.

“Members of this Association have commenced consultations with very Senior Lawyers of Northern Nigeria extraction and those practising therein with the view to constituting the Trustees and for purposes of fixing a date for the formal inauguration of the Association.

Sen Ovie Omo-Agege has put out a poster (see below) informing general public that the NASS is going to go about on another junket of "constitutional amendments". We now know that it is a nonsense to amend a Constitution that is a forgery so null and void, such as the imposed 1999 Constitution - check out my other posts on the 1999 Constitution to see articles explaining this.

We can ACT. And ACT NOW!

An email address was provided for Sen Omo-Agege plus request was made for input by the public.
Email: scrc9nass@gmail.com
#: 0803 310 9357 or 0809 752 2601

Let us therefore send him an email such as the one below as our own input in taking down this imposed sham 1999 Constitution so that we can begin our new republics of SELF-DETERMINATION AND RESOURCE CONTROL AND BORDERS CONTROL.

Let's not be the typical docile, lazy, Nigerian waiting for "God to do it".
This is something we can do! Somebody has already taken time to prepare a short letter. All you have to do is copy it, sign it, and send it to email on the poster.

Also, copy this post and send it via your WhatsApp so that thousands of us get involved in rescuing ourselves from One Nigeria.

RE: COMMITTEE ON THE REVIEW OF THE 1999 CONSTITUTION – CALL FOR MEMORANDA

Dear Sen Ovie A Omo-Agege,

The imposed 1999 Constitution is a forgery, so null and void. It therefore cannot be amended but must be discarded and new Constitutions properly made by we the people.
Here is a link to 10 minute video by Prof Akin Oyebode an expert in jurisprudence to guide you, the NASS, and Nigerians: "Nigeria’s Constitution Is Military, Illegitimate"


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6BpTwUCFss

The Senate, NASS and government can no longer keep on deceiving the people. The world is watching, and those in leadership positions who do things that are clearly wrong will face the consequences of their lack of integrity.

We therefore urge you to do the right thing, which is to set upon the honourable process of discarding this imposed, sham 1999 Constitution so that a Constitutional Assembly can prepare new Constitutions that will be legitimized by Referendum.

Regards,

(You sign your name)

THE TRUTH ABOUT NATIONAL CONSTITUTIONS – THROUGH CHRISTIAN EYES
Christianity For Africans, Facebook
28th August 2020

Could it be that one of the reasons that our African nations are not developing and are facing one crisis after another is because they practice a faulty national Constitution? A few months ago our attention was drawn to Nigeria where there is an illegitimate Constitution because it is a forgery, foisted upon Nigerians since 1999. What is an African Christian, particularly a Nigerian Christian to do about it?

Unfortunately, we could not find an example among today’s African mega-pastors who have put themselves out in the forefront to stand against injustice or wrongs in society. So our eyes landed on Rev Dr Martin Luther King, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. These are two Christian men who showed that truly God’s Spirit lived in them for they had a moral conscience. This means they were concerned about the evil in their societies and ACTED TO CHANGE THINGS. They were salt and light.
Here are some quotes by these two wonderful Christian men.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” – Desmond Tutu
“I wish I could shut up, but I can’t, and I won’t.” – Desmond Tutu

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” – Martin Luther King
“The time is always right to do the right thing.” – Martin Luther King

We are COMMANDED to be salt and light. It is not an option but a command from a God who is serious and who does not joke around. It is in our actions in this life that we get tested, and found either to pass or fail. Selfishness, Unconcern, Cowardice, in the face of social ills guarantee us as failures in the eyes of God who has provided us a list in Revelation 21: 8 of those who will make it to Hell.
“But the COWARDLY, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all LIARS—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

Thus, the TRUE Nigerian Christian knows what to do in the face of their imposed 1999 Constitution that is a forgery. He is to join those who are active in getting it discarded so that new, honest, Constitutions are made by the people of Nigeria. God also said, “Come now, let us reason together” (Isaiah 1: 18a). This means God wants the African Christian to REASON out things. So the Nigerian Christian cannot be a baby, but must use his brain, do the research, make enquiries to find out what is the best option for the future of the land called “Nigeria”.

Nigeria is not the only country in Africa that is doing badly. Most others are too. Some truth-loving Nigerians have identified for Nigeria and the world that their 1999 Constitution is a forgery. Could it be that this same type of illegitimate national Constitution is also the case in other African countries? Well, we need to begin to check it out for ourselves. We cannot remain lazy and say “God will do it” to cover our evil laziness. Just as in Nigeria it was some Nigerians who reasoned and researched to expose the situation about their national Constitution, so too Africans in other parts of Africa ought to examine their own national Constitutions.

Finally, to our Nigerian Christians, we hope you will not choose the way of corruption for which Nigerians and Nigeria are known. But, that you will have the moral courage and be truly a child of God, having his Holy Spirit honouring you by living in you. Then if that is you, you know you cannot live and allow others to live under a lie, but must be CONCERNED, ACTIVE AND INVOLVED in discarding your faulty national Constitution.

IT IS MIDDLE BELT, NOT NORTH CENTRAL

Brothers of Middle Belt and South, the people of MB had rejected being called "North Central" and for now, until after they get their new Republic and vote in a new name for themselves, they have signified they want to be called MIDDLE BELT.

REJECTION OF NORTHERN CONTROL
On 9 August 2001, a delegation from the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), which represents the North, visited Jos, Plateau State, in the heart of the middle belt. Major General Abdullahi Shelleng invited his audience to join the ACF. However, in response governor Joshua Dariye made it clear that he was not interested in being marginalized and would prefer to remain a "middle-belter". In an interview, retired Air Commodore Jonah David Jang put the position simply: "Middle Belters are Middle Belters, and we will remain Middle Belters".

In September 2001, retired Air Commodore Dan Suleiman, former governor of Plateau State and chairman of the forum, said the Middle Belters are grossly marginalised and have become an endangered species on the brink of extinction and cultural annihilation. He was supported by retired General Zamani Lekwot, a former military governor of Rivers State, who attributed the failure to create a Middle Belt region in 1963 to politicians perceiving the Middle Belt as a threat. (Wikipedia)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Belt_Forum

Arewa will off course continue to rudely call them "North Central" and what else to expect from losers who are seeing that Dan Fodio's Dream where the Fulani empire will last only 200 years is happening. (Google it)

It helps us identify Arewa as they will not be able to say or write "Middle Belt".

It is Middle Belt, not North Central.

Below is what the future will look like, as 4 new countries:

FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOR THE CHILDREN OF OÒDUÀ (EDITED BY REMI OYEYEMI)

This piece is a compilation of variety of quotes about Nigeria. They were put together by members of Oòduà Foundation in the United States. The quotes are glimpses of and into the minds of those who have gone through the haze of a contraption, euphemized as a country called Nigeria. I find their perspectives interesting and want to bring them to the attention of Nigerians, especially the Yorùbá sons and daughters, for the sake of their future and freedom. There are a few words of wisdom from other sources across the ocean that are included. Please, enjoy them. Happy reading.

“Nigeria is only a geographical expression to which life was given by the diabolical amalgamation of 1914, that amalgamation will EVER remain the most painful injury a British Government inflicted on Southern Nigeria”. - Obafemi Awolowo in 1956 after the break out of unrest and killings of the Southerners in the North.

“If you want us (the North) to be part of this Nigeria you have in mind, then we want 50% of the membership of the National Assembly”. - Sir Ahmadu Bello’s wish and demand from the Colonial Secretary in 1952 which was later granted shortly before Nigerian Independence in 1960.

"This New Nation called Nigeria, should be an estate of our great grand father, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools, and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future" - Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of Northern Region The Parrot of October 12, 1960
“...the handing over of the reign of leadership to the Hausa-Fulani by the British was not a mistake; it was deliberate.The British knows that the Hausa-Fulani will be so pre-occupied with the quest for survival and domination of Nigeria that they would not have the time to pull Nigeria from the dreg of under-development.” - The Vanguard Newspaper, February 7, 2002


"I'm set and fully armed, to conquer the Action Group, AG, in the same ruthless manner as my grandfather conquered Alkalawa, a town in Sokoto province, during the last century"-- Sir Ahmadu Bello(Premier , Northern Region and grandson of Uthman Dan Fodio) The Daily Times, May 3, 1961


“Fulani......represent the most brutal when it comes to conquests. One of their earliest of such political adventures was in Futa Toro area of Senegambia, where during the greater Beiram Festival by the natives of that country about 400 years ago, they killed the king having posed as dancers. They seized the land as the leisurely and less political natives watched in bewilderment. In that ancient country, they (the Fulani) established a theocratic state led by Al Maru, a Fulani called Karamoku Ibrahim. They ruled for 300 years but were later driven away by the locals.” - Vanguard Newspaper, February 7, 2002

"The conquest to the sea is now in sight. When our god-sent Ahmadu Bello said some years ago that our conquest will reach the sea shores of Nigeria, some idiots in the South were doubting its possibilities. Today have we not reached the sea? Lagos is reached. It remains Port-Harcourt. It must be conquered and taken." - Mallam Bala Garuba. West African Pilot Newspapers, December 30, 1964

“......interesting is the military prowess of the Fulani which though not fantastic, has been mystified through their ability to fuel acrimony among their rivals and their capacity to show great courage in the defence of collective interest rather than the defence of individual wisdom.” - The Vanguard Newspaper, February 7, 2002

Southern people who are swamping into this region daily in such large numbers are really intruders; we don’t want them and they are not welcome here in the North. Since 1914, the British Government has been trying to make Nigeria into one country. But the people are different in every way, including religion, custom, language and aspirations…….. we in the North take it that Nigeria unity is only a British intention for the country they created. IT IS NOT FOR US”. - Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa in a 1952 address to the Northern House of Assembly.

“Anyone who holds the view that the Hausa/Fulani political leaders are not in control of Nigeria’s past, present and if possible, the future may need to re-examine their thinking. ...the Hausa/Fulani leadership is the best organised and the most tactical of all the ruling power blocs in Nigeria, that is the Yoruba and the Igbo and of course, the minorities put together as a disjointed and never united bloc, always being used as puns in the game.” - Vanguard Newspaper, Thursday February 7, 2002

"The country Nigeria started from being divided. We are never one. It was the process of history that brought us together. The British did not meet us as one country. The country Nigeria started from being divided." - General Ibrahim Haruna, Chairman Arewa Consultative Forum in Compass Newspaper, November 29, 2009

"Everyone has a gift from God. The Northerners are endowed by God with leadership qualities...." -Alhaji Maitama Sule, making a case for permanent political domination of Nigeria by the Hausa – Fulani at a speech in Kaduna.

"It is indeed in the interest of the South-Westerners and South-Easterners for some affirmative actions to be taken to redress the situation, else there will be no real peace in this country moving forward.” - Mallam Falalu Bello, MD Unity Bank of Nigeria in a statement that preceded the taking over of solvent Yoruba and Igbo owned banks in Nigeria by the Northern oligarchy.

“Around 1050, they (the Fulani) were chased away by the Tuaregs because they (the Fulani) insisted they wanted to be masters in a land not theirs.” - Vanguard Newspaper, February 7, 2002


“The Yoruba nation is saddled with the governments it loathes. The Yoruba nation is prevented from following its vision. The Yoruba nation is impeded from the pursuit of its dreams. The Yoruba nation is made to abandon its true character under duress. The Yoruba nation is made to denounce its true self under the threat of economic and political annihilation. The Yoruba nation is being made to abandon its great heritage, its great values and its great history. The Yoruba nation has had its fabric torn to tatters. They are scheming to take over our lands, our towns, our cities and enslave us as well as our future generation. They have destroyed our economic and educational gains achieved via hard work all through our history. All these have been possible because the Yoruba nation is chained to the tragedy called Nigeria.” - Remi Oyeyemi in his article "Why Nigeria Must Break Up" published on April 2, 2007 on www.nigeriavillagesquare.com

“Abiola does not look like a president. Tell (Ibrahim) Babangida to stop it. If you cannot tell him, I will tell him. - Ibrahim Dasuki speaking as Sultan of Sokoto in his Palace to the CDS delegation leaders after excusing the Press Corps and others present during an official visit in April 1993.

“We planned for one transition but ended up with two and one is not acceptable. The transition we planned is Military to Civilian and not North to South.”--- Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in comments to the staffers of the Center for Democratic Studies (CDS) at Aso Rock in 1993 shortly after the June 12 Elections

“The annulment of June 12 Elections is an act of God.” -Ibrahim Dasuki’s comments to the Press after the annulment of the June 12 Elections by Ibrahim Babangida

“….. Suffice to say, putting all consideration to test: political, economical as well as social, the basis for unity is not there….” -Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon in his maiden speech on July 29, 1966

“The use of the word, Amalgamation, was not perfunctory. It was advisedly used. What they put together was an AMALGAM not a COMPOUND in chemical parlance. An amalgam is an admixture of different constituents; an alloy, easily resolvable into individual components or entities. On the other hand the constituents of a compound are held together by enduring bonds, which are not readily extricable. Thus, metaphorically, a Compound will stand for a Nation. - ---Prof. Tam David- West in 2002.


“What kind of trouble have we let ourselves in for, by associating with these southern people. Lord Lugard and his amalgamation is not for us. We shall set up our own and cease to have anything more to do with the southern people”. - Sir Ahmadu Bello’s complaint in 1956 after the Northerners refused the Motion for Independence.

“Federal Nigeria has never since her independence shown the distinctive mark of a united nation. It has been impossible for her to silence tribal rivalries –to achieve that mixture of ethnic /cultural blend required to forge National Unity” -Francois Duvalier, then President of Haiti, March 22, 1969.

“When you are politically enslaved, you cannot be economically free. When you are not free economically, you will have constant social crisis. When you have constant social crisis, religion sets in as opium with its pervasive perversion of reason. When this happens, sustaining you in bondage by your internal and external political enemies becomes an easier task. You will then be unable to help yourselves only to be abandoned by the Heaven that is always ready to help you. You cannot pray to God to preserve your life and then jump off the cliff as soon as you finish praying. This is because, as we all know, ‘Heaven helps only those who help themselves’.” - Remi Oyeyemi, Philadelphia, USA January 2011.


“We are different in too many ways”.--- Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, wondering why all the ethnic nationalities in Nigeria have to be lumped together in one “country.”

“We have nothing in common with the rest of the Nigerian peoples except that we are all human beings. Other than that, our aspirations are different. Our cultures are different. Our traditions are different. Our values are different. Our hopes are different. Our dreams are different. Our primordial attachment is very strong. No one likes to be dominated the way the Yoruba is being dominated in Nigeria. No one likes to be in bondage the way we are in Nigeria. No one likes to be enslaved the way we are in Nigeria. No one likes it when others take advantage of him or his/her people. It is time to think of alternative route(s) to our destiny as a great people, as a great race and as a very great Yoruba Nation.” - Remi Oyeyemi in his article "Why Nigeria Must Break Up" published on April 2, 2007 on www.nigeriavillagesquare.com

“....the strength of an endangered race lies in maintaining a homogenous cultural and political machinery.” -The Vanguard Newspaper, February 7, 2002

“A nation, to exist has to be ingrained in the psyche of its citizens. There has to be that emotional connection. It has to run as blood in the veins and marrow in the bones of those who subscribe to it. A nation is that consummated indescribable feelings that command the unalloyed love, permeated with buoyant affection and infused with unsolicited loyalty of those who subscribe to it. A nation is that which is patently invisible but translucently obvious and recurrent in the gliding waves of the sea of sub-consciousness, of its people.” -Remi Oyeyemi in his article "Why Nigeria Must Break Up" published on April 2, 2007 on www.nigeriavillagesquare.com

Ask ye for the political kingdom, and every other things shall be added unto thee.” - Osagyefo Kwameh Nkrumah, World Statesman and first Prime Minister of Ghana during the struggle to liberate his country from the oppressive and denigrating clutch of colonialism.

“While M.D. Yusuf, former Inspector General of Police leads the ACF, a lawyer who cannot differentiate between a double-barrel gun and a .38 pistol leads Afenifere. ACF has not less than 20 retired soldiers of Hausa- Fulani extraction and all former Nigerian leaders of note are ACF’s activists. ...... Afenifere has no single retired soldier as a member. Yet any group that undermines the importance of the military in any struggle does so at its own peril.” -The Vanguard Newspaper, February 7, 2002


“To choose the right moment in which to act is the great art of men…” - Napoleon Bonaparte

“....the South might remain in bondage unless the political leadership shed their self-serving garbs, imbibe the art of courage and be prepared to die for their beliefs if the need arise.” - The Vanguard Newspaper of February 7, 2002.

“The Ethnic Nationalities in Nigeria must free themselves from the yoke of internal colonialism cunningly instituted by the Hausa- Fulani oligarchy through the use of local satellites recruited from amongst every ethnic nationality to give it a semblance of NATIONAL CHARACTER with the sole objective of hiding the true powers behind the throne. Such satellites are imposed on the peoples of these ethnic nationalities to constitute part of a larger class of exploiters and oppressors to divert attention from the source of the problem. It is time for us to wake up as individual ethnic nationalities and insist on SELF DETERMINATION of our various DESTINIES.” - Olu Tunagun, Observer at the Egbe Omo Yoruba Convention, New York, USA September 2011.
“The tears of Biafrans are still brimming. The Biroms’ blood is still bleeding. The Tivs are still tormented. The Niger Deltans are still dehumanised and denigrated. The Ogonis are still agonising. The Mumuyes are still mourning. The Nupes are still being noxiously nagged. The Igalas are still gnashing their teeth. The Katafs’ tears are still flowing. All other minorities in the North referred to as “willing tools” by Ahmadu Bello are still in quandry, wondering how they lost the fundamental rights to self determine their destinies. All the ethnic nationalities in the South of Nigeria, particularly the Yoruba, as promised by Sultan Ahmadu Bello, have been conquered, cowed, confused, and psychologically cluttered. The Yoruba who used to be in the vanguard of principled leadership are themselves in search of visionary leadership. In the face of this unfortunate reality, how sustainable is Nigeria as an entity? - Remi Oyeyemi, Philadelpia, USA, April 2010


“It is self deceit and fallacious to contend that Nigeria cannot break up. Facts on the ground do not support it. History of Nations do not uphold it. It can and it will if the ethnic nationalities want to be freed from the bondage called NIGERIA. All that it requires is the commitment on each of their parts to the principle of SELF DETERMINATION. Issues like ethnic inter -marriages are not and cannot be impediments to strong desires to be free and be able to determine your own destiny. Ngeria may yet be salvaged but it has to be via RESTRUCTURING. Otherwise, the only definite option will be ‘To your tents O Israel.’ How we get there is going to be determined by time.” -Samuel Ebire, observer at the Yoruba Convention, New York City, September 2011

“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction.” - John F. Kennedy, former President of the United States.

The right to and the desire for SELF DETERMINATION has nothing to do with the hatred of and or for others. But it has everything to do with SELF LOVE. The first law of Nature is SELF PRESERVATION. If any man feels he is held captive in any ramification, his natural instinct is to set himself free. This is about freedom from social, economic, religious and political captivity that Nigeria represents to the ethnic nationalities within its boundaries. It is not about dislike or hatred of others in any shape or form. It is about the freedom to be able to determine one’s own destiny – preserve one’s heritage, language, culture, customs, values, world view and intergrate with modernity at one’s pace as well as relate with others of your choice across the globe and in your own way.” -Remi Oyeyemi, Philadelphia, June 2011

You see any man evocatively singing the songs of ‘ONE NIGERIA’ as is presently constituted, effusive about its indivisibility, eloquently advocating a tortuous ‘UNITY IN DIVERSITY,’ exuding unguarded PATRIOTISM about it, emotively feeding you on hope while you crave to extricate yourself from grinding poverty, agonizing want, debilitating need, incapacitating insecurity, and inability to SELF DETERMINE your own destiny; movingly asking you to persevere in this unending miasma as he forcefully gives unfounded assurances about the future of Nigeria; check him out very well. He or she is an active participant, a satellite or a sentry of those angling to exploit, dominate and enslave his own and all other ethnic nationalities at all costs and by all means. He is definitely benefitting from the misery, denigration and dehumanization of you and your people. You and your ethnic nationality have the choice of listening to such a person or find a way around him or her to get to your own appointed destiny through self determination.” -Remi Oyeyemi, Philadelphia, USA July 2010


“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Benjamin Franklin in his contribution to the American Conference on February 17, 1775

"Are you frightened of the disintegration of Nigeria? That fear is your own to deal with..."

NIGERIA – ARE YOU A UNIONIST OR A SECESSIONIST?
By Ndidi Uwechue
African News Today
25th August 2020

Given the bloody events in Nigeria, I strongly urge us to dialogue not only at national, but also at international levels regarding what I have termed the “territorial credence*” of Nigeria. That is, how real is this country called Nigeria? Such a dialogue is needed, and quite urgently too as it regards the legal existence and then the viability of “Nigeria”.

Nigeria’s Union is founded on its Constitution. Before Independence in 1960 the ethnic nationalities that comprise Nigeria established, then agreed upon certain conditions that must be met and kept, if there was to be any Union. It is the 1999 Constitution that Nigeria operates today, and the important dialogue should be about the validity of this Constitution. Here is some basic information about this 1999 Constitution:
• The ethnic nationalities had no authentic representatives involved in its preparation.
• “We the people” is a false claim in its preamble.
• It was not legitimized by Referendum.
To summarise, the 1999 Constitution was imposed, plus it is a forgery, therefore null and void. As such, logically, it cannot be amended.

Now, Nigeria is known internationally as a “fantastically corrupt” place. There is no need to address those who take exception to this statement for the state of the nation provides proof enough. What I will say is that there is now an Alternative Culture based on the twin tenets of “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way”. I therefore plead with us all, for this is a matter that concerns both the leaders and the ordinary people, to follow the tenets of the Alternative Culture when it comes to the credibility of the entity known as “Nigeria”.

As in any issue, there will be a diversity of opinion. There are Unionists who are certain that it is best that Nigeria remains “One Nigeria” either exactly as it is, or restructured into a proper Federation. Then there are the Secessionists who are certain that it is best that new sovereign nations come out of “One Nigeria”. This is a matter that raises emotions and ego, so it needs only ONE approach, that is: keeping it truthful, and following the path of truth. Not emotions. Not ego. And definitely not lies.

Once the path of truth is followed, the steps to take become very clear and unambiguous. Since the imposed 1999 Constitution is a forgery, null and void, so cannot be amended there is only one thing that can be done to it. It must be discarded. Then, new autochthonous (homemade by we the people) Constitutions be obtained.

Unionists will now be singled out because they have been in power and continue to be, so their opinion dominates the media: TV, radio, internet and print. Many Unionists therefore think that their opinion carries the intellectual and even moral argument. However, let us be mindful that the 1999 Constitution being a forgery, so where it states that Nigeria is “indivisible and indissoluble” is merely the opinion of those who wrote (or forged) the document, so it is not binding. Therefore Secessionists should not be accused of being “unconstitutional” or even of “treason” and such like. This is a very important point because over the decades and still today, Secessionists are harassed, threatened and killed by the Unionist side simply because they will not stoop under what is a null and void 1999 Constitution.
Furthermore, making a declaration such as “Nigeria’s unity is settled” is meaningless unless evidence is provided for saying so. Similarly, claiming that “Nigeria’s unity is non-negotiable” only begs the question: Why so?

It will soon be 60 years post-Independence and Nigeria is lumped with the world’s failed (fragile) states and even meets the description of a “rogue state”. This calls to mind the British founding father of Nigeria who did not seem to think that Nigerians had the wherewithal to rule ourselves well. Among his many words, Lord Lugard described Nigerians as, “He loves the DISPLAY OF POWER, but fails to realize its RESPONSIBILITY” (my emphasis).

People are being killed by the State, and I therefore respectfully (yet adamantly) urge those in leadership positions at national, state, plus local levels to bear in mind that as public servants they are managers of the country, employed by the people, who are the owners. The increasing clamour by citizens to have the anomaly of the 1999 Constitution rectified by discarding it should therefore not continue to fall on deaf ears. Doing so just increases the determination to end the Union. Secessionists would have international support because the 1999 Constitution imposed on the country and which also imposes the Union, was not negotiated or ratified by the ethnic nationalities. Thus, the use of intimidation, threat of violence and force of arms by Unionists in power, and quietly assented to by Unionists among the public, is not the way to hold the country together.

Are you frightened of the disintegration of Nigeria? That fear is your own to deal with. The issue is not about your fear (however real it may be to you), but it is about truth regarding the Union, which for now is being upheld by a null and void Constitution. The issue is also about “doing the right thing” and “doing the right thing the right way” to get authentic and legitimate Constitutions that will satisfy the ethnic nationalities. We cannot have or keep a Union by forgery and by force.

Whatever happens, nationally and internationally “Nigeria” needs territorial credence to uphold its existence. We have two groups: the Unionists and the Secessionists. Both are entitled to their different opinions. Each will have the opportunity to show how exactly their opinion is best, and that will be realized by Referendum.

*I have defined “Territorial credence” as the proper, legal accreditation that a particular country actually exists.
