As heated debates rage on amongst Nigerians, triggered by the profound Question raised for Nigerians by this brilliant South African lady (link below), pointing us forcefully and poignantly to the Unsettled Constitutional Arrangements for the Distressed Federation of Nigeria.

Those who wish to understand the question will do well to understand that universally, the Union (Country) and its Systems (Governance Arrangements) are framed and defined by the Constitution.
The central Problem with Nigeria today is that we have refused to deal with the Union Question and the System Question, both thrown up by the 1966/1967 Truncation of the Federation of Nigeria and the subsequent imposition of the Unitary Constitutional Arrangements on an inevitably Federal Union since 1979, eventually carried forward as the 1999 Constitution.
The TRANSITION Required by the Nigerian Situation is not one to get individual Nigerians to repent and be of better behavior for the common good. Rather, it is one for Constitutional Reset that will address both the Union Question (i.e., have we agreed to Federate into one Political Union?) AND the Systems Question (i.e., under What Terms are we Federating?), and that will be after we have answered the preliminary question of Who are the ‘WE’ that is discussing to Federate into one Political Union.
NINAS has, since December 16, 2020, placed on the table a comprehensive Framework, Strategy, and Process by which Nigeria and Nigerians can initiate and undertake this inevitable Transitioning for Union Reconstruction. Unfortunately, the obdurate Political Merchants and ill-informed Populace continue to wobble from Election to Election under the Death-Dispensing Unitary Constitution that guarantees their collective damnation.
For further insight on the subject, we may wish to review the NINAS Publication titled: “We Must Now Answer The Union Questions of ‘What is Nigeria? And ‘Who Are Nigerians’?”
