Nigeria, as currently constituted, is a subject of great worry for all men of good conscience. A nation that not only promotes injustice, but perpetuates ethno-religious bigotry, is only counting her days of existence. No state of injustice can endure perpetually. With her current constitutional architectonic apparently grounded in injustice, the Nigerian state cannot achieve her potentials or divine mandate as the biggest black nation on earth.

As for the Northern Elites and, of course, their Southern yes-men who are celebrating the so-called fall of Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho, considered to be the kingpins of secessionism in Nigeria, one is left to question their contribution to the quest for the enthronement of justice in the country’s body-politic.

Needless to note, Nigeria’s constitutional order at independence was to a fair degree characterized by justice and equity in its appropriation of federalism as an organising principle. The point is that there cannot be a united Nigeria unless and until there is a veritable demonstration of the entrenchment of true federalism, by way of restructuring and devolution, into the Nigerian system, as is the case in the US.

c) That farmlands are now graveyards, as over 3 million innocent Nigerians have been forcibly dislodged therefrom into Internally Displaced Persons camps right in their own motherland on account of the dastardly activities of Fulani herdsmen. f) That Nigeria is a secular state pursuant to section 10 of the 1999 Constitution. Yet, in the last 10 years, the country’s constitutional secularism has come under deliberate attacks by the Sharia-mongering of northern leaders. For example, Hisbah police in Kano and Kastina States, as well as other Northern states, have continued to destroy the economic wellbeing of non-Sharia compliant Nigerians in those states in the name of religious submission.
