Responding to a flood of enquiries to NINAS Secretariat about why Governors across Nigeria are not procuring and issuing Firearms to their People to defend themselves from Murderous Fulani Invaders, Tony Nnadi wrote as follows:
First is to point out to us that Constitution quite simply means Union Arrangements which should also be by Agreement.
Nigeria, the Federation, was a Union of Equality with such a Union of Agreement (Federal Constitution) at Independence in 1960.
The Unitary Nigeria that emerged from the 1966 and the 1967 Coups and Collapse of the Constitutional (Union) Arrangements that defined the Nigerian Federation was a Master-Servant Union of Imposition defined by the Caliphate-Imposed Unitary Constitution (first in 1979 and carried forward in 1999).
We now have a situation in which we are forced to live under a Constitutional Arrangement unilaterally imposed, undiscussed, and enforced by the Invader-Fulani Caliphate and its local collaborators operating as “the Federal Government of Nigeria”, when Nigeria ceased to be a Federation since July 1966.
This is comparable to the case with the Master-Servant Apartheid Constitution of South Africa, unilaterally imposed by the Invader-Boers which subjected and subjugated the Black Indigenous Peoples of South Africa to Slave-Status in their Homeland.
There are 68 Items listed as being Exclusively within the Jurisdiction and Powers of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the 1999 Constitution which comprehensively emasculate and subjugate the Federating Units (ie the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria who under that Constitution, are locked out of the Fulani-Owned and Fulani Controlled “Federal Government”).
Arms and Ammunitions happens to be one of those 68-Items and so NEITHER the States NOR the Governors can, on their own authority, issue any rifle to anyone to organize any form of Security including for the use of the Community Vigilantes which many now clamour for as the panacea to the Murderous Fulani Conquest Invasion of the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria.
Under the atrocious 1999 Constitution, every single Firearm to be used by anyone in Nigeria must be issued, licensed or authorized by the so-called “Federal Government” and its Security Agencies.
Accordingly, under Nigeria’s Prevailing Constitutional Arrangements and Laws, anyone found in possession of any gun, not issued, licensed or authorized by the Federal Government of Nigeria and its Security Agencies, is liable for an offense and can be arrested, prosecuted or even summarily executed (shoot-on-sight).
On the other hand, the Invader-Fulani who imposed this perilous situation on the Indigenous-Rest of Nigeria, roam freely throughout Nigeria with AK-47 rifles, indicating that they are allowed by the illicit “Federal Government” and its Security Agencies to do so.
Unfortunately, until the Unitary Constitutional imposition by which Nigeria is currently operated is overturned, renegotiated and reconfigured, the situation described above remains.
It smacks of complicity and collusion for the Governors to continue to ignore the NINAS directive since 2021 which explained to them how to emplace and deploy their own armed Security Arrangements to defend their People and their Territories following activation of the NINAS Constitutional Force Majeure.
As with SECURITY and Firearms, there are 67 other items on that Federal Exclusive Legislative List, relating to ECONOMIC ASSETS like Oil & Gas, Maritime Assets, Solid Minerals etc sequestered by that Constitution EXCLUSIVELY into the hands of the illicit “Federal Government” of Nigeria.
Same with POWERS over Key Infrastructure like Electricity, Railways, Highways, Refineries, Seaports, Airports, Telecommunications and the like. ELECTION into Federal and State offices is also on that Exclusive List (ie President, Governors, Senators, House of Representatives Members and State House of Assembly Members, hence INEC sits in Abuja and determines who will Govern or Represent you, wherever you are in Nigeria).
If as the Fulani continue in their ferocious Conquest Onslaught, empowered comprehensively by the Unitary System they imposed UNILATERALLY since 1967, on a supposed Federal Union, we refuse to pay attention and understand the gravity of the situation we are caught in, and we choose instead, to argue and wobble to Election after Election under that same Unitary Constitutional Order, waving one Political Party flag or the other, rather than join the urgent push to crash and dismantle that strangulating Constitution, then it is our choice to be conquered, subjugated, dislodged and annihilated by the Fulani that are pushing to establish a Homeland across the entirety of the territory we call “Nigeria” for themselves by exterminating the Indigenous Peoples of Nigeria.
If we leave the 1999 Constitution intact and we grope in the dark in search of what we can do to provide Security for our people, it is like leaving the Apartheid Constitution of South Africa intact and searching for how to improve the lives of the Black Indigenous Peoples of South Africa!
It is a tragedy that the Nigerian Diaspora, particularly in the US, with all their education and exposure, has chosen to work with ignorance and conjecture on this subject, even with the abundant information and knowledge available for what Nigeria’s problem truly is, what can be done and what is being done in remediation – which NINAS has made available to all, otherwise why have the numerous Nigerian Diaspora Organizations and Platforms not deemed it fit to invite a full interrogation of the NINAS Propositions?
Many often join the chorus of the ill-informed and unenlightened to declare that the problem of Nigeria is Leadership or Corruption whereas the untenable Unitary Constitution of Nigeria is directly responsible for both the Bad Leadership and Corruption we see. It is in that MISDIAGNOSIS that they begin to canvass for Election that they pray will produce a better and less corrupt Leadership or for Electoral Reforms that they pray will ensure credible, free and fair Elections under a Worse-Than-Apartheid Constitution 1999.
Some of us also ignorantly clamour for Constitution Amendments when the reality and the contention of those who reject the Fraudulent 1999 Constitution is that we have not even made any Constitution at all. Yet others shout: Yoruba Nation Now; Biafra Now-Now with no strategy whatsoever on how to extricate themselves from the cage of captivity represented by the 1999 Constitution.
We can listen to ourselves and solve the massive problems facing us before it is too late. We can also continue with our fancy academic arguments until Nigeria goes up in smoke”.
