A Genuine call for Nigerian National Reformation

 A Genuine call for Nigerian National Reformation

A call for restructuring is a call for:

1.     True Federalism – Regional autonomy within a united Federation

2.     Devolution Power to the State and or along Regional lines

3.     Decentralized Police, Introduction of “State Policing”

4.     Decentralized Revenue Processes, “resource control”

5.     Constitutional Reform

6.     Indigenized Democracy:

- Integration of Royal Fathers in Governance

- Restructuring of Nigeria along ethnic lines, giving voice to all the ethnic compositions of present Nigeria

– Ethnic semi autonomy, no ethnic group no matter how small should be suppressed within a region

- Renaming the Country

 

Recently, I think on October 4, 2020. Pastor Enoch Adejare, Adeboye of RCCG lend his voice to what some of us have been clamoring for; all this years “an urgent need to restructure this contraption call Nigeria”

Even though the man of God, in his usual modesty did not claim to be an erudite scholar, though he is, and though he did not claim to be speaking for God, or as God's Oracle, which by all means he is and though he was just voicing his opinion as a concerned citizen. Our arrogant Government rather than taking the Man of God's advice as gospel truth and go to work with it, chooses to replied him, and even attempting to dare tag the man of God “un-patriotic”

Few weeks later, today 21 October posterity is already adjudging Pastor Adeboye as a man of God indeed and the teaming youth actions #endsars is a confirmation that Adeboye's voice is the people voice, hence, ......."vox populi, vox dei". But our government officials are now on the run, otherwise they should come out on the streets if they are truly, the people’s voice nor our choice.

 

However, my main interest in what the Man of God said is the idea of a

-         Domesticated Democracy

-         Leveraging on the traditional instructions as instrument of good governance – creating a place for our Royal Fathers in Government.

-         Among other things he said

-          

It is said that “it Insanity to keep doing same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Nigeria has been practicing this unpalatable “Concussion” Democracy for 60 years without process ……… are we not being insane to yet reject restructuring? Are we really sure that our political leaders are not insane for opposing restructuring?

Hello! Is anyone listening? Please heed the voice of reasoning before it is too late…….

RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA NOW!

And,

Safe us from bitter pill of the impending Revolution, state of anarchy and disintegrations of Nigeria, our motherland.

Nigerian National Rebirth

A genuine quest to re write our history


“According to the present opinion, the Yoruba are of local origin, but this opinion reflects the great influence of post-colonialism on African historiography rather than sober text-critical research. It involves the fallacious dismissal of the major traditions of provenance suggesting an origin of the ancestral Yoruba in the Near East” (Dierk Lange, Dr. Troisième Cycle (1974 Paris), Thèse d'État  (1987 Paris)

 Being a student of Nigerian history, I am of the opinion that our history as a nation was never a documentary of our own making. It was done for us by people who know next to nothing about who we are. It was done either probably for pecuniary reasons, or to derail us as a people or possibly to dehumanize and demonizes the African race.

You can best imagine my joy and bitterness when I discovered that an erudite professor of “Migration” and a non-African birth (Dr. Dierk Lange) also shares my view on the above subject.

“According to the present opinion, the Yoruba are of local origin, but this opinion reflects the great influence of post-colonialism on African historiography rather than sober text-critical research.

BIAFRA WAR? NEVER AGAIN IN OUR LAND

BIAFRA WAR? NEVER AGAIN IN OUR LAND

War? Never again in this land, never again
Never again in this land, let those beating the drums of war hear this plea
You that are fanning the ambers of war please desist from so doing
Those melodramatic songs of calumny and war should end NOW!
And you that are dancing and enjoying the music therefore, enough
Let all those kindling the fire of war cease from such a venture
Let all party repent NOW! Before it is too late to do so
War? Never again in this land, never again


Your anger; one can relate, your pain many can feel
Your disappointment and frustration is understandable
You have been marginalized, we agreed
You have been maltreated; we know
Your genuine reasons and valid point all noted
Yet that we’re fighting mean not that we must die
Alive and well we live to fight another day


But wait a minute and come to think of it
Is someone proclaiming to be a saint?
Let he that have no sin cast the first stone
That vituperation, that Pride, that predatory tendency
That winner take all disposition, that Can all you can and sit on the Can trait
That me, mine and I approach to life, that unhealthy rivalry and strive
That hyper superiority complex and I don’t care nor concern posture
That over bearing aggressiveness in business and disposition
That non compromising nature, though may not matter to you,
Yet may pose a threat to others and a reason to worry by some
