Although this post concerns Igbo and SS directly, it also concerns Middle Belt and Oduduwa indirectly because we are all in Alliance, and our various blocs/regions are also devising self-determination agendas.

It is longish but I have even SHORTENED it by a lot so please do go to the full article.

SUSTAINABLE IGBO SELF-DETERMINATION AGENDA: THE ALADINMA PARADIGM
LOWER NIGER CONGRESS (LNC)
30 May 2012



As Nigeria wobbles in the throes of what seems to be its terminus and as the various federating blocs continue to explore options for their political future, a research-based review of the odyssey of the Igbo in Nigeria, from inception to today, intended to birth an action plan for transformative reconstruction of Alaigbo, anchored on the pristine Igbo value system, was discreetly undertaken by a younger generation of Ndiigbo under the code name, ALADINMA [the land is good], over a 12-year period…

..ALADINMA reached out to other ethnic nationalities, co-suffering with Ndiigbo in the failed British experiment we call Nigeria such that, in blocs of cohesive formations, they are in consensus, working out constitutional arrangements that would peacefully ease our folks out the current imposed constitutional order which is the source of the nightmare Nigeria has become for its peoples.

The ALADINMA ideal, in time, evolved into an organized movement which is quietly coordinating the Igbo arm of the LOWER NIGER CONGRESS (LNC), an initiative to federate the peoples of the former Eastern and Mid-Western Regions into a prospective LOWER NIGER FEDERATION in readiness for the inevitable constitutional reconstruction of Nigeria.

BASIS OF INTERVENTION
It is an open secret that the Nigerian war against Biafra did not end in 1970..to render Alaigbo the jungle and economic wilderness it has become since 1966.

For the Igbo, the constitutional regime in place today, the so-called 1999 Constitution, is basically a codification of the terms of conquest by Nigeria and its foreign sponsors in order to permanently control the war booty (one-Nigeria) via a carefully choreographed constitutional order in which a contrived political majority, created by imposed states and local government structures, arrogantly presides over the lives and assets of a numerical majority who are now made to become a negligible political minority (the Igbo), with a 68-item Federal Exclusive Legislative List which firmly put in the hands of the contrived political majority, absolute control of the levers of development and governance. The so-called states are mere administrative appendages grovelling at feet of an almighty central government which constitutionally forbidden and thus incapacitated from doing many things, including generation and transmission of electricity, internal security (police), railways, ports, highways etc – all the 68 items.

This is the exact opposite of the federal basis upon which Nigeria became one country at Independence as each of the then federating units had its own Constitution and developed at its own pace using its own resources and also contributing toward the upkeep of the central body (Federal Government) for the limited functions jointly delegated to the center. All that changed in 1966 by the military intervention in governance. The negotiated Constitutions that defined Nigeria of the 1st Republic were sacked and replaced by a series of arbitrary decrees which eventually culminated in the Decree 24 of 1999 which is now called the “1999 Constitution”’. Nigeria, under the current constitutional order, therefore represents a master-servant reality, worse than the Apartheid constitutional order in the then South-Africa. ALADINMA REJECTS THAT NIGERIA DEFINED BY THE 1999 CONSTITUTION.

The agitation for a renegotiation of Nigeria…has been met by sheer obduracy… It is like ordering the Igbo and the Niger Delta to shut up, keep quiet and remain in their enslavement or risk being killed again. This confirms that the current Constitution is the victory charter of Nigeria over the peoples of Eastern Nigeria legitimizing the confiscation of their sovereign rights and assets. The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), by an advertorial in the Daily Sun of February 3, declared that “the terms of our Union and those by which the Nigerian Federation are run have been well defined in our Constitution”. ALADINMA says to ACF: We have not discussed. That unilateral definition shall not stand.

...In all, what the British did in 1960 was to cleverly transfer the suzerainty (the right of a country to rule over another country), which it had enjoyed over the territory, Nigeria, for over a century to a favoured local agent, the Fulani…The Ogoni, Ijaw, and the Yoruba have each tasted variants of this ruthlessness. We hold nothing against Britain as they merely did what was then in vogue.

The 1999 Constitution..vests that same suzerainty in the ruling class in Nigeria while the sovereignty of the peoples remain banished in chains. That is why the political office holders are not accountable to the people just like the white minority of South Africa were not accountable to the oppressed Black owners of the land and until we dismantle the Apartheid-like 1999 Constitution, we will remain slaves while the politicians who rape the land barren are legally put beyond reach for sanctions by absolute immunity…

..ALADINMA’s findings on the suspicion-ridden relationship between the Igbo and our Niger Delta neighbors show that the bad blood, which our joint tormentors had capitalized on all these years to divide and rule us from afar, did not start with the Civil War. We must recall that after victories in regional elections a decade before the Civil War, having been ousted by Awolowo from becoming the first Premier of the Western Region in the famous carpet crossing saga, Azikiwe went to the East and ousted Eyo Ita, an Eastern minority element who led the party to victory and who ought to have been the first premier of Eastern Region. The bitterness engendered by that single stroke of political injustice was at the root of the attitude of the Eastern minorities (today’s Niger Delta) in the bloody disputes of 1966-7 which rapidly degenerated into a murderous Civil War.

This bad blood was the biggest undoing of Biafra when it mattered most but the first blame must rest squarely on Azikiwe and his henchmen who triggered it all. We still live with the retaliations to date at great costs in blood and material.
ALADINMA hereby apologizes, on behalf of our fathers, to the peoples of the Niger Delta for that wrongdoing which ruined the brotherly relationship we had from time immemorial and which was reason Eyo Ita could be leader of a party that won elections in the then Eastern Region. ALADINMA notes that, even in the face of the unfortunate situation, a great number of gallant combatants from the Niger-Delta fought on the side of Biafra with all their might to the bitter end. They were killed in great numbers before and during the war….

On a happy note, ALADINMA can proudly report that a younger generation of the Niger Delta reviewed the entire history and have since resumed the full depth of unconditional brotherhood we had before ‘Nigeria’ intervened in the 1950’s. Some evidence.. Ann Kio Briggs, called on the peoples of Niger Delta to come home and join hands with the Igbo in “strength, justice, brotherhood and truth, to face the obvious change that will come to Nigeria”….

IN RESPONSE TO NIGERIA’S CONTINUING AGGRESSION, ALADINMA, in cooperation with other forces of liberty, devised a 5-phased plan to dismantle and ease out the evil feudal constitutional order. The first 3 phases involved working out an alternative, building a consensus around that alternative by way of an informal referendum and the formal legal incapacitation of the 1999 Constitution. All these have been done by way of the PRONACO initiative whose outcome comprehensively re-validated the ABURI ACCORD model by the Ethnic Nationalities at a Sovereign meeting (2005-2006), as the minimum condition for continuing in the Nigerian Union, failing which exit options will be explored.

The MOVEMENT FOR NEW NIGERIA (MNN), which is the implementation phase of the PRONACO outcome, has carried out a successful countrywide informal referendum and in May 2007 launched the winding-up lawsuit against the 1999 Constitution on the ground of self-evident fraud ….
The 4th phase commenced with the June 30th, 2011..at a time when the 12 Northern-most States of Nigeria had adopted Sharia since year 2000 which is tantamount to opting out of the Nigerian Union…leaves everybody with only one option: to accept that the Nigerian union has collapsed and allow the peaceful exit of cohesive units who, thereafter, work out new relationships.

By the infinite mercies of God…the 1999 Constitution has been exposed as a forgery and a fraud in court, (Abdusalam Abubakar made it and lied that “We the people…….” did) and since the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of indigenous Peoples, invest us (the ethnic nationalities) with an inalienable right to self-determination…

Furthermore…Having embraced the truth, is it not time to act on it by reworking the union in a manner that restores the hijacked autonomies of the entrapped nationalities, either ABURI model (confederation) or ARABA (full independence for units).

…It is in the light of the foregoing that ALADINMA today steps forward to lead the task of total societal reconstruction of Alaigbo… We shall restore the traditional Igbo sanctions system in order to be able to curtail the excesses of those who have become stronger than oha (the people)….
ACCORDINGLY, WE DECLARE THAT:…

4) To avoid anarchy, ALADINMA prescribes that all those in power at all levels in the three arms of government should remain in office until the transition to a new constitutional order is completed, just like South Africa did when it had to transit away from the Apartheid Constitution between 1990 and 1994…

ALADINMA is guided by the example of Nelson Mandela and his compatriots, who, when confronted with a similar evil, were honest enough to tell the indigenous populations of the Apartheid-era South Africa that their misery did not flow from people in power per se, but from the Apartheid order which took their lands and rights away. They, by action, refused to validate their own enslavement in their ancestral land any further.

For the men of God in the land who constantly recommend prayers as the solution to the Nigeria that stands on the foundation of injustice and gross inequity, ALADINMA wishes to point you to Bishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa who, when faced with a similar evil, stood on the side of truth and fought side-by-side with the oppressed peoples of South Africa until the evil Constitution of Apartheid was overcome. We have the 1999 Constitution which lies that “We the people…….” enacted our damnation. Instead of joining hands with the indigenous peoples to uproot evil, many of us still join hand with Gowon and the rest of the criminal band with much blood in their hands to pray for Nigeria that has become a criminal enterprise whose current Constitution created and protects monumental corruption…Yes we must pray but let us also declare the truth concerning Nigeria now.

Same goes for the lawyers in the land who clutch that evil Constitution and fail to tell the politicians the truth….Mandela was an honest lawyer who chose to use his knowledge of the law to free his people. What are our lawyers doing?...

With the experiences of the past and in readiness for the fallouts of the impending change, ALADINMA has worked out with LNC an offshore-based ASSET PROTECTION AND GUARANTEE SCHEME to ensure that assets of Ndiigbo and those of the rest of the LOWER NIGER will not be lost by the owners (at least in value) on account of any changes in Nigeria…

THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION……!
