NINAS Secretariat
18 March 2024
(1) Summary of Colloquium Outcome:
From all of what has been said at this Colloquium, it is evident that the NINAS Propositions and Campaign has triumphed over ALL other suggestions. The witness borne by Obong Victor Attah, of Prof Ben Nwabueze’s Admission and Confession of 2013, brings the System to a U-Turn on their erstwhile rigid position and posturing on the Disputations around Nigeria’s Flawed Unitary Constitutional Arrangements.
Whilst welcoming the Patriots to the beginnings of what could become a meaningful engagement on the Constitutional Future of Nigeria, NINAS’ Task right now is to galvanize and give direction to the Spectacular Countrywide Consensus that has emerged around the hitherto largely confused and often dishonest debates around the Union Dispute.
(2) On the Suggestion that the 2014 Conference Report be Adopted to cure the Foundational Anomalies of the 1999 Constitution:
”Premised on the False Premises that the Unity of Nigeria was not Negotiable, the 2014 National Conference did not address the Union Question and so its Report does not offer any Solution to the Multifaceted Challenges Now Threatening the Nigerian Union from Grave Constitutional Grievances flowing from those Foundational Constitutional Anomalies” – NINAS.
(3) On the Suggestion that Nigeria’s National Assembly could lead the Constitutional Reconfiguration of Nigeria:
The current round of Constitution Amendment gambit by Nigeria’s National Assembly suffered a sudden collapse yesterday March 17, 2024, from the frontal onslaught of NINAS against the Proprietors of Unitary Nigeria who tried to railroad the 2014 National Conference Report through the National Assembly, to become the replacement to the Fraud of 1999 via a One-Day Colloquium.
The NINAS Open Memorandum to the Patriots’ Lagos Colloquium, upended that plot. Link HERE:

On the other hand, the response of NINAS to the National Assembly’s announcement of another round of Constitution Amendments was equally frontal and decisive. That Amendment charade was to prepare the ground for the aforementioned adoption of the 2014 Conference Report which was premised on the idiotic heresy that the Unity of Nigeria was Non-Negotiable.
