We have been saying this for a very long time.

The foundation/constitution needs to be addressed as matter of urgency for our darling nation to move forward.
The 1999 Constitution needed to be revised to produce the type of change agent and developments our nation need to become the land flowing with milk and honey that we all craved for.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA
we have 36 regional heads and same result. Stop blaming constitution for your laziness

Was that what he said OR your own interpretation of the captions?

Incase, you didn't read Afe's statement before you rushed here to distort its content, here's a short summary: "No Angel can salvage Nigeria whilst operating the fraudulent 1999 Constitution ".

Simple. No frills!

I have a better idea of salvaging our situation.
I'm currently building my manifesto my career for now. When the time comes, all of you saying if we lose Obi, it's finished, will be so ashamed of yourselves.

What exactly is wrong with the constitution?

It gives too much power to the center while leaving the constituents weaker. Also there is a need to include the self determination clause back to the constitution.

How does it give too much power to the centre compared to the 1960 and 1963 constitution babalola made reference to?

How is it the cause of Nigerias present day problems?

Was there ever a time that there was self determination clause in any of Nigerias previous constitutions?

We have never had self determination clause

You haven't explained anything. Since you have read the 1963 and 1999 constitution, then you shouldn't have any problems answering the questions I asked you except you telling me that you have idea about what you said earlier.

Nigeria youth, this is what you should be fighting for, read d constitution and let these people know what we want to be changed, revise and amended.
Instead of coming to social media to fight n argue 24/7
The presidency under the PDP for 16 years did not change the constitution although president Jonathan initiated the 2014 confab. The APC that promised to restructure Nigeria according to what I read, has not done that in 7 plus years. Let us see what the LP presidency will do when Peter Obi comes to power God willing.

It is not their duty to push for constitutional change, that is the work of your National Assembly.

What when Tinubu gets there and tries to amend the constitution to be President for life like Obasanjo tried to do, wailers like you will be the first to shout murder.
So you mean OBJ actually tried to amend the constitution but it is , according to you, "the work of your National Assembly".....bla bla bla.

How well did the last one work?

Some of these our old men self?

I agree about reworking the constitution, but that can only be done within the ambit of the existing law with a willing C-in-C, a willing party and a willing legislature!

The rich lawyer should speak to stuffs that are legally and practically doable; not theoretical Wakandas.

The 1999 constitution is enough to make Nigeria better if the leaders and followers are ready to embrace sanity

So how come Nigeria has been running that constitution since 1999, and things are far worse than they were in 1963?

Thats because the 1963 constitution gave the 4 Regions that existed at the time resource control, which made all 4 Regions financially independent of the federal government

Today, almost the entire 36 states of Nigeria survive on federal government allocations

Only Atiku has come out to say he is fully committed to restructuring while Obi is the only fool to declare that he sees nothing wrong with both our constitution and current flawed system.

Obi is not a reformist but a conformist pushing an ethnic agenda

Vote wisely.

was atiku not in apc with buhari why didn't he change the constitution?

Good. How does that give too much power to.the centre?

Is that the only reason why the 1999 constitution is faulty?

So why didn’t prof Afe Babalola tell President Obasanjo this whole truth when he was a friend to the government and had his ears?

Why just speaking up now that he has little or no influence with the government of the day?

Which system is he talking about? The same system that made him the owner of a private university and a multi-million aire?

Obasanjo made Afe Babalola a stinkingly rich man after the 2003 presidential election that he massively rigged. He was Obasanjo's legal counsel at the election tribunal. He was eating federal money and kept filling motions upon motions that frustrated the judges and justices. By the time the final judgement on 2003 election was given Obasanjo was halfway into his tenure and was already perfecting his third term agenda.

Ogboni, stop typing rubbish.Thus Thieffnubu urchins always think we are all fools.
Election is not all about renting and paying crowds.Yiu always criticise peter Obi with false propaganda so that people will get discourage
to vote for me, but it is already dead on Arrival.I know your plan, but we are already prepared to disgrace you and your useless paid urchard.
Whenever you hear peter Obi, you kept vomiting he will not win, he will not win, as if you are GOd.

Which parameter did you use to measure and know that Peter Obi wil not win? Are you God or INEC to be sure he wil not win? Your candidate has been spending huge money in renting crowd,he foolishly taught it ie by crowd that they used to win election.
For me, I only see envy and tribalistic hatred over igbos man pulling major weight to win.Yoruba people are wicked and useless for campaining for a dead man walking.
Nobody knows who will win this election, but under free and fair election, I can bet with my left testis that Peter Obi has atleast 70% chances of winning more than these two criminals.

If you know he will not win, why always rings it as bell all the time,if not that deep inside your mind,you know he is a serious threat and can win.
Me ans my Family are ready to waste my vote in Peter Obi,whether he wil loose or win,it is none of your business.Even Peter Obi is caught stealing
in the CBN headquarters,i wil stil vote for him. Focus on ur candidate and leave oor own candidate alone.No amount of blackmail wil change out mind. It is a murder like you will be campaining for APC after all the atrocities they committed, whose candidate is more dangerous than devil himself.

Itzteewhy:
Unfortunately, this man is saying the truth but some ignoramus would say otherwise. .....

On the other hand, let me say this, Peter obi ain't winning this election not even in generation to come....

Before any body would come for my head, let me tell you this. In Nigeria today, it has become a custom that we keep on making bad choices when it comes to electing a leader.

What makes you think this election would be different? Infact there is nothing like choosing between the good and the bad but rather the BAD and the WORSE.

The earlier we acknowledge the fact that, that messiah we are hoping for would never become the president of this country, the better it would be for all of us.
