Restructuring: South Has Majority In The Legislative House, North Is A Minority. by MayorofLagos(m): 8:33am On Jan 26, 2020 |
Majority rule is a decision rule that selects alternatives which have a majority, that is, more than half the votes. It is the binary decision rule used most often in influential decision-making bodies including all the legislatures of democratic nations. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majority_rule Majority Rule Democracy is defined in Webster's Encyclopedic Dictionary as: Government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them either directly or through their elected agents . . . [A] state of society characterized by nominal equality of rights and privileges. What is left out of the dictionary definition of democracy is what constitutes “the people.” In practice, democracy is governed by its most popularly understood principle: majority rule. Namely, when something is voted on, the side with the most votes wins, whether it is an election, a legislative bill, a union-management agreement, or a shareholder motion in a corporation. The majority vote (or sometimes a plurality when there are more than two choices) decides the election or the issue. Thus, when it is said that “the people have spoken” or the “people's will should be respected,” the people are generally expressed through its majority. The principle of majority rule has several functions. For one, it establishes a clear mechanism for making decisions. A majority of 50 percent plus one decides an issue or question. This ensures that when decisions are made more people are in favor than against. When decisions are made by slim majorities, the outcome may seem unfair to the “near-majority” that was on the other side, but that principle of majority rule is essential both in ensuring that decisions can be made and that minorities could not prevent the majority from deciding an issue or an election. Otherwise, a minority holding economic, social, and political power would use its power to dominate the majority of the citizens, thus instituting the antithesis of democracy: minority rule. - https://democracyweb.org/majority-rule-principles 3 Likes |

Southern Nigeria is the single democratic majority under our political system. Majority is not determined by land size or population but by legislative votes. Below is the total representation of Nigerians by constituencies. The idea of a majority by land size or population was promoted under military government. We are in a democratic government now. Our leaders in South need to stand upright and get a motion going and bring motion for restructuring to the House Floor. If the Reps vote on the issue majority will win the vote.

naptu2: Three items are needed to go into the amendment. 1. referendum clause 2. right of secession 3. review on the exclusive lists. Referendum is part of fundamental rights to liberty and freedom because it gives participants in the republic the choice between alternatives. The alternatives of restructuring is to keep a federated republic or a unitary republic. All the Southern regions and MB have expressed desire to go for a Federated Republic. These are four zones out of six. So in a vote I dont see how two zones will defeat the four that reject unitary government. Likewise if you look at the numbers from constituencies, 170 will defeat 104. 4 Likes 1 Share |

MayorofLagos: You didn't get what I'm hinting at, so I'll make it clear. You are looking at what's required to pass a bill in the House of Representatives. All that's required is a simple majority. However, a constitutional amendment is different (all the things that you listed require constitutional amendments). In order to amend the constitution, you need 1) ⅔rd majority of votes in the House of Representatives. 2) ⅔rd majority of votes in the Senate 3) ⅔rd majority of votes in ⅔rd of all the state houses of assembly in Nigeria. This is why, although voice votes are usually used in the National Assembly, electronic voting is used when they are amending the constitution, because they must count each vote to determine if they've gotten ⅔ majority. 8 Likes |

What happens to other claims, like the constitution does not give the south good numbers in the house to Enact laws without the North....I smell plenty lies and propaganda against the North.

naptu2: I understood you at first. In regard to referendum and secession, the two items are not in the current Constitution. They are to be added to the constitution. If they existed already and we are trying to modify them then we need 2/3rd majority to assent to the alteration, but this is not the case. There is currently no statute on referendum or secession. The constitution authorizes National Assembly to make laws. They will make a law authorizing inclusion of referendum and secession. It is not alteration because the items are not there yet. Does the constituion call for 2/3rd to pass a Bill, or simple majority? 1 Like 2 Shares |

MayorofLagos: You will need a constitutional amendment in order to change the shape of Nigeria, in order to add, remove, create any state in Nigeria, etc. That's why all the calls for referendums have been that a clause should be inserted in the constitution to permit a referendum and to give legal backing to the result of a referendum. The territory that makes up Nigeria is spelt out in the constitution (that's why it was difficult for the Lagos State Government to create new local governments during Bola Tinubu's era). Therefore, it will require a constitutional amendment. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/157577-national-conference-provision-referendum-nigerian-constitution-lawmaker.html https://asknigeria.com.ng/topic/42/what-does-the-law-s-of-nigeria-say-about-referendum (Lots of people will approach the courts Immediately such a bill is introduced or passed, to get a declaration that the bill is unconstitutional because the National Assembly has no power to alter the shape of Nigeria without a constitutional amendment). 2 Likes |
