The call for National Conference has received several reactions, including opposition, from Nigerians. Those opposed to a National Conference fall into three main categories: Those who subscribe to the doctrine of “settled issues”, those who say it would be used to dismantle the Nigerian state and those who believe that it is aimed at further weakening the stranglehold of the North on the nation.
What holds us together is a chain binding us in bondage, not a cord holding us together as one. In a united country there should be no “settler” and no “indigene”; there would simply be Nigerians enjoying equal rights of citizenship and protection wherever they reside and whatever their religion.

The so called democracy, as it stand, does not reconcile our differences, but rather exacerbates them abnormally. Election, particularly the type whose process does not belong to the people but to a cartel of godfathers, is not the same as democracy. In which “democracy” would a few tin gods sitting in Abuja decide who contests a primary election in a state, or who contests election in a local government?

Our federalism is so only in name written in blood. Those who tout this lie simply ignore history. Major General Johnson Thomas Umunnakwe Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed in 1966 ostensibly because of Decree 34 of 1966 which unified the services in the then federation. Ironsi’s killers stated that “the basis for Nigerian unity is not there”!
Thereafter, those who killed Ironsi and waged a genocidal war on Eastern Region went ahead to stifle what was left of Nigeria with extreme centralisation because it suited them. They never contemplated a day the shoe will be on the other foot! Somebody who had no shoes is now wearing the shoes! Evidently, it did not take a National Conference to weaken the stranglehold of the North on the nation. In a country where a band of terrorists will be throwing crude bombs, cowardly killing worshippers in churches, slaughtering sleeping women and children, and robbing banks to fund their terrorism simply because a Nigerian citizen from the “wrong side” of the country exercised a right which should be taken for granted in a “united” “democratic” “federation”, gives the lie to the doctrine of “settled issues”.

After a long talk and shying away from the realities of sovereign national conference, last week, about 92 northern elders made it crystal clear that they were ready for a “round table talk”. In other words, they said they were ready for the long talked about and dreaded sovereign national conference. I expected a follow up from the earlier agitators to make the holding of the conference fast without further delay. If the breaking up of Nigeria is likely inevitable, why don’t we start the fragmentation process from now. I see logic in this as all fragmented part would have gotten use to independence before 2015.

If na to sign petition all over the world against BA and the likes, Nigerians mouth go sharp.
