Stop Warmongering
to Preserve a Fraudulent Constitution:
Open Letter to Junaid Mohammed and the ACF
By Chinweizu

---------------
Introduction
In September 2013, as public clamor intensified for a
Sovereign National Conference, SNC, to resolve Nigeria’s multitude of problems,
Junaid Mohammed, a Caliphate Colonialist militant, threatened civil war to
prevent an SNC that could jettison the fraudulent 1999 Constitution: ‘Supporters of
SNC asking for civil war’—Junaid Mohammed http://www.punchng.com/news/supporters-of-snc-asking-for-civil-war/
.
Despite that threat, President Jonathan on October 1, 2013
announced a National Dialogue to discuss the fundamental problems undermining
the corporate existence of Nigeria
Now that the Caliphate’s political champion, Gen. Buhari, has come to
entrench that fraudulent 1999 Constitution, Northern leaders have started
moving publicly to block implementation of the Confab Report, [Northern leaders move to block implementation of confab
report http://sunnewsonline.com/new/northern-leaders-move-to-block-implementation-of-confab-report/]
And as part of these public moves, Junaid has resumed beating his war
drum to intimidate those who reject the Caliphate-imposed, fraud-filled,
corruption-promoting constitution and its master-and-slaves,
development-unfriendly brand of Nigeria
Bamboozling statements by Junaid and the ACF
I think
it is in the public interest to publicly reply to Junaid Mohammed and the ACF
on two recent statements they have issued to bamboozle Nigerians.
(1)
“Mohammed said, . . . if they
[Biafra] had seceded, there would have been no Nigeria Nigeria
--Buhari owes Igbos nothing, Junaid tells Ezeife, http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-owes-igbos-nothing-junaid-tells-ezeife-2/
(2) “Chairman of
the forum [Arewa Consultative Forum, ACF] and former Inspector-General of
Police, Alhaji Ibrahim Coomassie, at a news conference in Kaduna
(3) He
“described the alleged calls by MASSOB for secession, 45 years after a
bitter civil war, as undemocratic.”
--ACF carpets Igbo leaders for supporting
MASSOB, secession, http://www.punchng.com/news/acf-carpets-igbo-leaders-for-supporting-massob-secession/
President Buhari
=================
My reply
I shall now reply to these three points one by one.
(1) According to Junaid’s presumably conventional, non-odd logic: If
Biafra had seceded, there would be no Nigeria Malaysia ,
Pakistan Indonesia and Sudan
===========================
(2) The MASSOB and secession
issue. The ACF is obsessed with this issue. So too are its disinformation
agents, including whoever doctored The
Cable News’s report of Wole Soyinka’s Harvard lecture to make it parrot the
ACF dogma that “Igbos remained unrepentant and
resolute towards their strategic objective of secession at worst; or a Nigerian
president of Igbo extraction at best.” Wole Soyinka Reportedly States “Igbos Put Their Votes
Where their Stomachs Take Them”
By the way, Soyinka disowned the Cable News’s
doctored version of his lecture; and The
Cable News management subsequently apologized to Soyinka, Ndi-Igbo and its
readers for the disinformation it had peddled. The Cable Apologizes To Professor Soyinka
The necessary question is: Are Igbos the only nationality
in Nigeria Nigeria into its ethnic
nationalities and creating an Oduduwa
Republic
Only
a split of Nigeria into its
traditional ethnic groups can save Nigeria
In a statement yesterday, the group said the Christmas Day bombing in Suleja and Jos, shows how vulnerable public institutions are, how helpless the Nigerian security services are and how hopeless the future of the country stands.
AOKOYA said it has embarked in an intensive campaign to realize self determination for Yoruba people and their Itsekiri brothers in a peaceful and civilized manner. “We shall doggedly pursue the realization of Oduduwa republic, where peace, love and brotherhood are the guiding principles.”

*Junaid Mohammed
And
here is a report, from March 2014, on the threat by the people of Adamawa to
secede from Nigeria
The National Conference
continued on a rancorous note on Wednesday morning with one of the prominent
monarchs at the forum, Muhammadu Barkindo Aliyu Musdaphar, the Lamido Adamawa,
threatening to pull his people out of Nigeria
And here is another report, from May 2014, on a threat by
the Yoruba to secede from Nigeria
At a news conference
on Monday in Lagos, Nigeria, the Yoruba, under the aegis of The Yoruba People
of Nigeria formally presented a publication on ‘Regional Autonomy or Nothing,”
saying that they are ready to secede from Nigeria if the conference fails to
meet their demands.
Chief Tokunbo Ajasin, Chairman, Atayese Yoruba Group, said one
would expect that all should seize any opportunity to build consensus and
reclaim the country from wrong-footed ideas and practices that brought Nigeria
“We
are therefore baffled at the take-it-or-leave-it attitude of delegates from
other ethnic nationalities, particularly the Northern delegates who circulated
a document full of fallacies few weeks ago. Those fallacies have now been
exposed by the facts and figures contained in the publication we are unveiling
today.

I
have presented three examples of recent threats made to secede from Nigeria
It should be noted that, whereas Afenifere, the apex organization
of the Yoruba, their counterpart of the ACF, has publicly threatened secession
by the Yoruba; Ohaneze, the Igbo counterpart of Afenifere and the ACF, has
never expressed an interest in secession. So, what bloodthirsty war crimes or
crimes against humanity is the ACF dedicated to committing by its dogged
refusal to admit that two of the three biggest ethnic nations in Nigeria are
dissatisfied enough to want to secede? For
which item in its Hitler agenda is the ACF laying the groundwork by trying to
sell the world the falsehood that all is well with Nigeria but for the Igbo and
their peculiar ambition to secede from the paradise that Nigeria presumably is?
If the threat by Afenifere is not enough to open the ACF’s eyes to the rickety
realities of Nigeria
“I daresay that
if Junaid Mohammed’s Nigeria ever butchers over 100,000 innocent Igbo civilians
again, as they did in the north in 1966 just before the civil war, there will
indeed be another attempt to secede, but this time it will not only be
successful, but they will also take many others with them.

==================
(3) Is a call for secession
undemocratic, as the ACF claims? From the example of Scotland ,
where the Scottish National Party, SNP, has been seeking independence from the UK
THESE fatal frauds are four:
the “We the people” fraud; the “Federation” fraud; the “Fighting corruption”
masquerade/fraud; and the “Socially responsible State” masquerade/fraud. Let’s
examine them.
#1] The ‘We the people’ fraud
On May 23, 2007, the
Movement for a New Nigeria (MNN) launched a legal attack on the 1999 Constitution by
filing Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/367/07 in the Federal High Court, Abuja
#2] The ‘Federation’ fraud
Its
federalism is a fraud because:
(a) It falsely parades Nigeria as a federation whereas Nigeria
(b) With the demobilization
of the earlier federating units, its present states, the alleged federating
units, have no constitutions of their own, making them false federating units;
(c) It lacks fiscal
federalism: its behemoth Central Government (falsely called “Federal
Government”) takes for itself a lion’s share of the country’s resources and
gives crumbs to the 36 states and the 774 local governments; they are thus not
economically self-reliant entities but subsist on allocations from the central
government; they are, consequently, mere economic dependents and administrative
agents of the central government – which is contrary to federalism;
#3] The ‘Fighting corruption’ masquerade/ fraud
The 1999 Constitution is the godfather of
corruption, through the immunity clause 308. (1), which protects, and thereby
implicitly invites, looting by the highest officials who have brazenly set the
terrible example that the rest of society have emulated. However, it
ostentatiously declares in Section 15. (5) that ‘The State shall abolish all
corrupt practices and abuse of power’, thus giving the false impression that it
is for fighting corruption. But it then surreptitiously annuls Section 15(5) by
its ouster clause (See fraud No.4, discussed next). It is a fraud for the
godfather of corruption to give the impression that it is against corruption,
and the fraud is compounded when it empowers the state to fight corruption but
then surreptitiously discourages it from doing so. That’s double duplicity!
#4] The
‘Socially responsible State’ masquerade/ fraud
The 1999 Constitution
surreptitiously relieves the Nigerian
State
This is
the ouster clause, since nobody can go to court to enforce any Ch. II
provision. That is to say, if the government omits to act on Ch. II, it cannot
be sued by anybody or be compelled by any court to do its constitutional duty.
This clause, by making Ch. II non-justiciable, effectively makes it unenforceable,
thus ousting it. This covert ouster allows the Nigerian state to masquerade as
a socially responsible state whereas it is no such thing. This masquerading
gives it false legitimacy, and is a fraud.

Or, Four Frauds That Are Fatal For The 1999 Constitution
Perhaps examining these
frauds is where to begin the search for why Nigeria
would have disappeared had Biafra seceded.
That, perhaps, is where to start to address the issues that have driven
Afenifere, MASSOB, AOKOYA and other organizations to threaten secession.
Removing the frauds in that constitution, rather than warmongering, could well
be where we should start the fixing of Nigeria
to make it durable, like Malaysia ,
Pakistan , Indonesia and Sudan Nigeria
