With this set of unprincipled power mongering rogue politicians since 1999, Nigeria can never be a real nation but a crime site for power struggle on ethnic cards. Regionalism & Parliamentary system may reduce the ethnic tension and central power grabbing, winners take all, “it’s my turn” criminality against the people.
It’s obvious that their politics is not about service to the people but a turn by turn power grab and systematic looting by the respective ethnic political gangsters for themselves, families, friends and fronts.. It’s getting worse since 1999.. Buhari, their Seriki Integrity, made it terribly worse and defended by many of those in power now. Tinubu is making it worse than where Seriki Integrity left it, economically and ethnically.
Only the rising strength of the working people, masses, genuine revolutionary and radical forces led by the ever ready sound ideological revolutionary leaders of the working people can make a decisive intervention to unite the people and save the nation from these criminal politicians. But unfortunately, the leaderships of labour that cannot organize a successful strike, and many radical forces have either collapsed into the criminal structures of these gangsters, bought over, choked, confused or just running away from their historical responsibilities.
Countryhood is mere geographical expression , and citizenship is a biological accident of birth. People pray hard to acquire Citizenship of advanced countries. So, there’s nothing sacrosanct or spiritual about countryhood or Citizenship, , This is the reason people escape in droves from their country of birth to any country of expected fortuune because their country has become a large mass transit camp of economic refugees awaiting escape at high cost and high risk. . This scenario is worse under Tinubu regime of pain and more pains on daily basis despite his promise to make life better for Nigerians.
Nationhood can’t be unleashed by the constitution without the referendum of the people to agree to live together or not, and on what terms to live together. People own their sovereignty held in trust to their elected and selected representatives but they cannot surrender or abandon their sovereignty to any.
