POST-NIGERIA FORMATIONS FOR FRESH PROTOCOLS

It is the Constitution of Nigeria that holds together the territory called "Nigeria" as one political Union.

The demise of that fraudulent and fundamentally flawed "1999 Constitution" by the express actions of the constituent component blocs of the defunct Federation of Nigeria (which collapsed since 1967), threw up an imperative in which the former Federating Regions began to work out post-Nigeria arrangements. In the manner silhouetted by the segmented map below, from which formation, willing, compatible neighbouring Ethnic Nationalities will forge fresh protocols, in unfettered Self-Determination, using Referendums and Plebiscites to validate the formations and the fresh protocols.

This four-Bloc map represents the formations in which the entrapped Constituent Nationalities of the defunct Federation of Nigeria are working out their future.

The twelve-state Sharia contiguity (green Bloc) seceded from the secular Union of Nigeria when in year 2000, they simultaneously imposed Sharia, in Repudiation of the 1999 Constitution upon which the Union is federated, flawed as that Constitution is.

The blue Bloc is the Yoruba contiguity (including the Yoruba of Kwara and Kogi states) which by their September 7, 2017 Solemn Assembly at Ibadan, Repudiated and Rejected the fraudulent 1999 Constitution as the basis of Nigeria.

The brown Bloc is the Lower Niger which at its 2015 Solemn Assembly in Port Harcourt, Rejected and Repudiated the so-called 1999 Constitution as the basis of Nigeria, adopted the 1885 ethnolinguistic map of the Lower Niger as the geographical basis of the prospective Lower Niger Federation, and mandated a Self-Determination Referendum.

The purple Bloc is the Middle Belt which is currently under a bloody siege from the Jihadists of the green Bloc. It will be recalled that it was the compromise of substituting Sharia (which Ahmadu Bello wanted for the Northern Region) with the Penal Code by the Willinks Commission in 1957 that made the Middle Belt a part of the then Northern Region. (The predominantly Christian Middle Belt had in the run-up to Nigeria's Independence, insisted on being a Region of their own, in rejection of the Sharia that the predominantly Muslim far North wanted).

The year 2000 simultaneous imposition of Sharia by the twelve contiguous states of the predominantly Muslim far North, spanning from Sokoto to Borno (green Bloc on the segmented map), was a grand Repudiation of that 1957 compromise and by extension, a Repudiation of federating with the Middle Belt and more so, the rest of Nigeria, as Sharia is mutually exclusive with Democracy and Constitutionalism. [The Notice* of Constitutional Force Majeure proclaimed by the NINAS Movement on 16 December 2020 expounds on the implications of unilaterally taking up Sharia in a Union agreed to be secular.]

It is this irreconcilable clash of civilizations, introduced by Sharia, into an already inequitable Union, (with a federating basis that collapsed since the military coups of 1966 but held together by brute force and guile), that is responsible for the current unraveling of what has become a Union of attrition and decline for the entrapped constituent components.

The imposed 1999 Constitution, a forgery, has now been Repudiated by many nationwide. For the sake of justice, security, and progress, the lingering Union Dispute must now be resolved. The NINAS Movement that has quietly and steadfastly been at work for over two decades, has placed its non-violent Proposition (an ORDERLY PROCESS) on the table.

Peoples of the South and Middle Belt,


Can we not see that Arewa Bloc are taking us for a ride!

Arewa used their right to self-determination and without caring what we think, took up Sharia even though they know for Nigeria to exist and written in that even though fraudulent 1999 Constitution, they cannot do so because Nigeria is to be secular.

Therefore, by taking up Sharia, Arewa rejected and repudiated the 1999 Constitution! Just as is written here.

We too in our 3 Blocs Repudiated that fraudulent 1999 Constitution in our 3 Solemn Assemblies.

Why then are we going to Elections 2023 to renew the life of that 1999 Constitution?

Are we MAD?

Do we not want freedom and self-determination?

That fraudulent 1999 Constitution is the ONLY THING that ties us to this fraud called One Nigeria".

Can we not be serious for the sake of our children?
