BUHARI’S ANTAGONISTS HAVE FAILED AGAIN; HE’S ALIVE TO PURGE NIGERIA OF CORRUPTION!

After One Hundred and Four Days of spiritual battle in the Spirit World, the divinely-anointed President Muhammadu Buhari, victoriously triumphed over all Forces of Darkness and returned ALIVE to his beloved Country, Nigeria, at noon on Saturday, 19th August, 2017, to the tumultuous welcome of patriotic citizens but to the shame and bewilderment of his political arch-enemies and detractors!

Hate speech terrorist wished him dead, but the reverse was the case because the warfare in question was fought on Buhari's behalf by the LORD OF HOSTS who assigned him to be President over Nigeria! "The Earth is the LORD'S and the fullness thereof, the world and the people that dwell therein."(Psalm. 24:1).
No one contends with the Almighty GOD and lives to tell the story! It is a fact that Buhari's political enemies employed  diabolical incantations, enchantments, sorceries divinations, curses, the moment he had the health challenge, but the effectual and fervent  prayers of the ever patriotic downtrodden TALAKAWAS and several genuine Servants of God, prevailed over the evil plans of the ungodly politicians! . "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire."(Luke 3:9)
He did not arrive at night in order to debunk further vicious speculations about the state of his health and even drove in a presidential motorcade through the streets of the Federal Capital City of Abuja and into the State House, Aso Rock Villa, at about 5.40 pm!

The successful treatment of President Buhari's health issues at a London Hospital during his medical vacation will remain a mystery to ordinary and simple minds. Though it was initially resisted by Principalities and Powers of this World/Spiritual Wickedness in High Places, who forcibly and viciously fought to posses his SOUL, they failed because the Angel Gabriel was divinely dispatched to rescue the LORD'S VESSEL who has been specially assigned to purge this nation of all forms of institutional corruption laced with brazen impunity; that would have completely destroyed Nigeria's economy!

MUHAMMADU BUHARI IS INDESTRUCTIBLE AND UNSTOPABLE!
Pre and post independent Nigerian politics and elections always took violent dimensions of "do-or-die" power struggles among the gladiators who trampled over the fundamental rights of unfortunate and innocent  electorate to achieve their inordinate ambition at all cost! But Buhari's characteristics signify faithfulness, honesty, righteousness, fairness, equity, probity and justice, which virtues are so distasteful to MERCENERY politicians!

The elections that gave him victory in 2015, was not an exception because the incumbent Peoples Democratic Party consecutive administrations from 1999-2015, had no wish to accept defeat from the onset as all the power-mongers swore on their parents graves that the Change Agenda President, would never win the presidential election - because he failed in the last three previous attempts. They therefore employed unethical and unorthodox method of mudslinging, brickbats, character defamation/assassination, hate speeches detrimental publications on electronic/print media, social media platforms and the Internet, against him as the All Progressives Congress (APC), democratic candidate, without any form of check or restraint!

But who would have thought that in that election which gave him landslide victory over Ebele Jonathan, the failed Party which performed woefully in SIXTEEN YEARS of consecutive administration, would still refuse to sheath its vile sword - especially when the winner held his peace without pursuing legal actions against them!

No Nigerian can doubt the magnificent prowess, capacity, mental and physical strength of President Buhari - a retired General and Nigeria's former Military Head of State, who, in spite of the rigours of the 2014/2015  political campaigns, embarked on overseas diplomatic tours to all major economic and military blocs to gain massive support needed to crush the insurgency within his first year in office in spite of being a SEPTUGENARIAN!
He did not leave out Nigeria's neighbouring States of Chad, Niger, Benin, Cameroon etc, and formed the Multi National Joint Task Force (MNJTF), with them in order to facilitate a quick return to peaceful economic life in the West African sub- Region!

He succeeded to regain and re-capture all of the FOURTEEN CALIPHATES which Boko Haram terrorists carved out from some Local Government Areas of Bornu State and also to turn the economy around and block all official financial wastages through the option of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), system of financial accountability and probity. He did not waste time to introduce, one after the other; the welfarist programmes for the education sector, financial support to market women, upgrading of  the Primary Health Care Centres, the controversial School Feeding Programme, the Graduate Empowerment Scheme, etc.
President Buhari travelled to London for the first medical check up, on 19th Jan 2017 - but convinced that he still needed more medical attention, he proceeded to take care of his health on 7th May, 2017, without breaking any extant law and without creating a gap in administration by handing over the reins of power to his Vice, Professor 'Yemi Osinbajo, (SAN)!

CONSPIRACY OF THE THREE MUSKETEERS AGAINST BUHARI!
While recuperating in London and meditating over how to faithfully accomplish his Party's manifesto on return to Nigeria, THREE former military generals and Heads of State, in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida and Abdusalam Abubakar, conspired to shop for a candidate who would replace President Buhari in 2019, because they believed that he would no longer have the capacity to run for a second term.
"Who is he that saith and it cometh to pass when the LORD commandeth it not?" (Lamentations.3:37-39)
During their tenures in government, the following cases bordering on institutional corruption and extra-judicial killings are still pending:
(1). Criminal destruction and extra-judicial killings of 19 innocent soldiers and several civilians at ODI TOWN - Balyesa State; (
2). House of Representatives probe on the looting of of $16 billion on Electricity generation;
(3). Controversial Oil Licence for one of the lucrative oil fields in Nigeria to a  preferred firm in the South;
(4). Two of the musketeers are rated first and second of the TEN richest politicians in Nigeria, (2017), net worth, $ 5 billion and $ 1.6 billion US Dollars respectively; probably as salaries accrued from the Nigerian Army!
Between the THREE, and the late Sani Abacha it was power- sharing plus all the illegal pecks of office. It was widely publicised that former General Obasanjo, had only N20.000 naira in his bank account when he was released from Abacha's detention in 1998!

These Musketeers who are arrogating divine roles to themselves will soon have to appear before the Throne of Judgement; says the LORD." God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God." (Psa 62:11)

The following are President Buhari's COVENANT with Nigerians as recorded on 22nd March, 2016: "I am a Nigerian and Nigeria is my country. I have no place on Earth to call home except Nigeria. If Nigeria fails, I fail. If Nigeria succeeds, I will be exalted amongst nations. Therefore, I must do whatever it takes, beyond the limits of my natural abilities to ensure everyone else around must do theirs.
" I will not be an agent of division or subversion, because in doing so, I hurt not others, but myself. I will support my government to enable them have the courage to always do what is right and where I feel they are failing.
"I will make my voice heard not to ridicule or abuse, but to proffer better alternatives.
“I believe that the labours of our heroes past shall never be in vain and I also believe that the pains I feel today are sacrifices being made for Nigeria to rise again because only God anoints leaders and Nigeria is a blessed country.....this is my stand, and may God give me the courage to always stand for what is right at all times. Amen.- Muhammadu Buhari."

For the information of all doubting Thomases: " The divine mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari, who is God's special Ambassador to Nigeria, will terminate on 29th May, 2023, and not before then; so we advise the earthly kingmakers and other COVETOUS politicians eyeing the number one position to begin to purge themselves of all iniquities because THE RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT ALREADY ESTABLISHED THROUGH BUHARI WILL CONTINUE AFTER 2023 AND REMAIN FOREVER! AMEN.

HUMAN ECLIPSE, UNLIKE SOLAR/LUNAR, IS VERY DISASTROUS!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 209. 13th August, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

HUMAN ECLIPSE, UNLIKE SOLAR/LUNAR, IS VERY DISASTROUS!

Solar and Lunar Eclipses had been common phenomenon in the firmament from time immemorial! Since global acknowledgement of SCIENCE in the 16th Century,  eclipses have remained under strict observation in succeeding generations, but no form of collision or disaster among ecclesiastical bodies has ever been recorded!
The Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars and other planetary objects have rotated along their divinely pre-determined orbits in a systemic order from the FOURTH DAY of creation. (Genesiss1:14-19).

An eclipse occurs naturally in the firmament when a planetry object as the Moon, comes between the Sun and another planetary object (the Earth), with the resultant effect of a shadow being cast by the Moon on the Earth! This firmament wonder usually occurred in the course of their solo orbiting which at some appointed times put them in STRAIGHT ALIGNMENT!
Between 9.22 pm 7th August and 2.20 am 8th August, 2017, a penumbral (peripheral), eclipse occurred in the Far East and was visible in City of Mumbai, India and the adjoining terrestrial settlements as the MOON eclipsed the SUN in a partial lunar eclipse another display of the Divine Wonder in the sky when the Moon was sandwiched between the Sun and the Earth! Eclipses occurred without any form of adverse effect on human, animal or vegetation creation because like the RAINBOW, they are designed to register the Covenant and the Awesome personality of the sovereign God to His Creation without casting mythological nor religious influences on the human minds as some tend to believe!

But doomsayers around the world are predicting total solar eclipse in 14 States in US later this month of August, 2017, which could cause a mysterious planet called NIBIRU to CRASH into the Earth as soon as the SUN was completely (though temporarily), blotted out of existence. They have also juxtaposed this prophesy - which has neither biblical nor scientific support with North Korea's threat to attack the US Base of GUAM  by mid-August and have envisaged that the outraging reaction of President Donald Trump would precipitate not only the THIRD WORLD WAR, but the END OF THE WORLD AS PRESENTLY CONSTITUTED!

North Korea says it would launch FOUR Hwasong- 12 Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles which would hit Guam in 14 minutes, in response to the "fire and fury" warning of President Trump!
It is evident that the US and its allies (South Korea, Japan, France, Britain, etc,), having introduced the doctrine of Human Eclipse of Obscurity against North Korea, should also expect the backlash of the doctrine of DETERRENT in return from the latter which regards US warning as unwarranted aggression of a BULLY!

The United States has never denied North Korea's accusations in respect of its massive production, acquisition and pillage of NUCLEAR WAR HEADS, contrary to its propaganda of global ban of nuclear weapons of mass destruction! North Korea claims that its pillage of nuclear arsenals was to protect its territories and citizens from US aggression! IS THE US ALSO PILLING UP NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO PROTECT ITSELF FROM NORTH KOREA'S AGGRESSION?

The adage has not changed - WHATEVER IS GOOD FOR GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER - but the danger of this cliché  is that what is good for both "BIRDS", in the prevailing scenario, would spell DISASTER to the entire universe if not quickly nipped in the bud! Guam is a strategic and very important air and naval base for the US Military and is over 3.000 kilometres south east of North Korea. Guam also has missile-defence launchers on the island!

In our Vol. 6. No. 204, of 9th July, 2017, titled, "North Korea's Kim Jog-un Should Be Handled With Care To Avoid World War III!," we counselled the US and its allies to tred softly and apply utmost diplomacy in dealing with President Kim Jog-un who is filled with youthful exuberance and could PRESS A VERY DANGEROUS NUCLEAR BUTTON that would re-write world history negatively!
THE ATOMIC BOMBS DETONATED ON HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI BY THE UNITED STATES IN AUGUST, TOWARDS THE END OF WORLD WAR II IN 1945, AND THE PAINFUL LOSS OF OVER 129,000 THOUSAND  INNOCENT LIVES CANNOT BE EASILY FORGOTTEN BY JAPAN AND ALL PEACE-LOVING COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD!

THE UNIVERSAL HUMAN ECLIPSES!
Human Eclipses are not limited to the preceding exposition but are viciously exhibited in everyday life:
PEER GROUPS eclipse one another in the Civil Service to curry favour from higher authorities and gain relevance; they also operate on social platforms; especially in Arts, Entertainment, Films and Tourism industries to achieve dubious fame and out-do the other;
BUSINESS ENTREPRENUERS/MOGULS eclipse themselves in the struggle for juicy government contracts in the commercial race of survival of the fittest;
UNIVERSITY STUDENTS gang up to eclipse one another in CULT activities; in order to exact undeserved favours by force, from both fellow students and lecturers;
POLITICIANS always eclipsed the masses through acquisition of illicit wealth with brazen impunity while in government; etc.!
Human government was purposely approved by GOD (Genesis.8:15-11:32; spanning a period of  427 years, from the Flood to the call of Abram:
(1) To promote moral and civil government for the highest good of all among themselves (Romans.13:1- 7);
(2)  Preserve human societies on Earth through well-articulated programmes on socio-economic welfare;
(3) Enforce law and order and punishments for offenders in other to maintain discipline;
(4) Establish, maintain and support government to preserve the society; etc,
but, was that plan of GOD during the Old Testament Bible period respected by Man? Is it even recognised now in the 21st Century Universe? NO, because in spite of the divine goodwill, the Earthlings have refused to shed the leopard skins inherited from the Adamic Dynasty (the first sinners), who disobeyed God's Command (Genesis.2:16-17; compare, 3:1-25), and lost their first estate!
Human Eclipse unlike those of the astronomical objects, always produced negative results in view of the fact that some species are out to predate others in a vicious circle of global Rat Race as being witnessed between the US and North Korea.
First among their weapons of Human Eclipse is OBSCURITY, which is the most lethal arsenal which would cast SHADOWS OF INCREDIBILITY, INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND IRRELEVANCE in the form of a permanent eclipse of REPROACH and everlasting shame upon their targets! Others include the orchestration and precipitation of the DECLINE AND DOWNFALL of targeted victims as being witnessed across the world today.

ETHNIC ECLIPSES VERSUS NATIONAL GOALS IN NIGERIA!
In NIGERIA some misguided renegades who claimed to speak for indigenes of the 18 Northern States (comprising of at least 80 ethnic tribes), declared an ultimatum that all IGBOS of the South East Geo-Political extraction MUST quit the Northern States by 1st October, 2017 and return to their native land for persistently demanding that an Independent State of Biafra should be carved out of the Nigerian Federation! Can any person or group of persons speak on behalf of the NORTH or NIGERIANS without a PLEBISCITE even if they originated from the Hausa/Fulani stock - which constitute about 29% of the entire population of Nigeria?
Was such an unholy attitude not deliberately predicated to place the IGBOS in permanent OBSCURITY in a constitutional democracy which can take care of all challenging national issues?
Have this bunch of semi-illiterates studied the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to ascertain their limitations under Chapter IV, Section 43, Fundamental Rights, in which it is clearly stated that every Nigeria has the right to dwell and possess landed properties anywhere in the country? Did those Youths think of the several fall-outs of their QUIT THREATS like inter-tribal marriages, strategic economic affiliations in commerce, trade/businesses, transportation, immovable properties, education etc.?
Although the Igbo Youths did not help matters through their reciprocal blanket demand that all Nigerians of Northern extraction domicile in the South East, should also quit their homeland by 1st October, 2017; because they have both portrayed Nigeria to the World as a nation without direction when the focus of the APC Change Government is on how to improve the lot of the downtrodden who - through no fault of theirs - now shamefully dwell as REFUGEES AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY!

How many of the over TWO MILLION IDPs in Nigeria are these LOUD MOUTHS catering and succouring to return to normal livelihood since they are bent on increasing the figure through their senseless demands? Are these unpatriotic persons aware that though Nigeria is an independent nation, INTERNATIONAL DONOR AGENCIES HAVE NEVER STOPPED TO PROVIDE FOR MOST OF OUR ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL INADEQUACIES THROUGH MISGOVERNANCE, MISMANAGEMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION IN ALL GOVERNMENTS FROM 1960-2015, BECAUSE OF THEIR LOVE FOR HUMANITY?

SHAME on the so-called Arewa and Igbo Youths (the doomsayers), for their disrespect for constitutitionally-constituted authorities of the Nigerian Federation and to all Nigerians by extension whose psyche and sensibilities have been hurt, insulted and terribly damaged by these MISCREANTS who have no sense of direction and neither ambition nor hope for a better life for their own generation! It is time for them to APOLOGIZE TO REPENT AND RETRACT their heinous threats in other to be spared from the impending DIVINE PUNISHMENT; because on SUNDAY 1st October, 2017, Nigerians WILL celebrate the 57th Year of Independence from the Colonial Task Masters and also felicitate in victory over the forces of destabilisation as constituted by the so-called Youths who have donned the garbs of Neo-Colonialists and also the unmasked ENEMIES OF THE NIGERIAN STATE!

No human being is created by GOD TO OBSCURE another through carnal eclipse. We should always be our BROTHERS KEEPERS and dwell in peace according to His divine purposive WILL. AMEN!

NIGERIA DOES NOT NEED THESE SET OF GREEDY AND POWER-INTOXICATED LEGISLATORS ANY MORE!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a godly Perspectice)

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 208. 6th August, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

NIGERIA DOES NOT NEED THESE SET OF GREEDY AND POWER-INTOXICATED LEGISLATORS ANY MORE!

Constitutional amendment is not an innovation in Nigeria! The 1979 Military Republican Post Independence Constitution of the Murtala-Obasanjo Regime, was promulgated into a DECREE with effect from 1st October, 1979, following FINAL AMENDMENTS carried out by the Supreme Military Council and with the subsequent coups of 1983, (Buhari); and 1985, (Babangida); another Military Republican Constitution of 1989 was decreed into law by Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC), following some amendments!

The Abacha/Abdusalami Transitional Military Regimes (1993- 1999), subsequently produced the 1999 Post Independence Federal Republic of Nigeria Constitution now under the doctoring of the National Assembly (NASS), for SELFISH, AMBITIOUS AND VERY GREEDY REASONS!
Both Chambers on 26th and 27th July, 2017, respectively VOTED ON 33 MAJOR BILLS TO AMEND THE SAID CONSTITUTION; but we were surprised about the following mix bag of results from the two Chambers:
(1). The Legislators, voted against DEVOLUTION OF POWER from Federal to federating States
(2). Sought for IMMUNITY for legislative rascality’s through "spoken words" in the Chambers and Committees Sittings
(3). Requested that ex-Senate Presidents and ex-House of Representatives be absorbed as MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL OF STATE - in order to have EQUAL ranking with Presidents/Governors, (serving and retired), who form bulk of membership of the Council.
(4). Voted to override Presidential veto in Constitutional Alteration
(5). Removal of LAW-MAKING POWER from the EXECUTIVE ARM, (National Security Agencies Act; National Complaints Commission, Land Use Act and National Youth Service Corps
(6). Voted against the 35 per cent Affirmative Inclusion of Women as Ministers
(7). Approval for 35 years as minimum age for qualification as presidential candidates; and
(8). Approval for INDEPENDENT candidacy at all ELECTIONS, during the lopsided exercise!

Public reactions across political, economic, religious, ethnic/tribal divide over the amendments have deepened the belief of the citizens that the legislators major incursion into Nigerian politics was purely for ILLICIT FINANCIAL GAINS and are therefore CLAMOURING that the 1999 Constitution be scrapped and a new Constituent Assembly commissioned to draft a brand new document that would cater for all fundamental needs of the masses.

THE 469 LEGISLATORS, MOST OF WHO SMUGGLED THEMSELVES INTO THE GREEN AND RED CHAMBERS OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, WIELD SO MUCH POWER UNDER THEIR OWN VERSION OF THE 1999 CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, that they do not only make/amend laws, carry out OVERSIGHT functions on all the Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), that are under the supervision of the EXECUTIVE, they also claim to have the authority to CREATE THE LEGISLATIVE VERSION OF ANY BUDGET THROUGH FRESH INSERTIONS FOR THEIR OWN SPECIAL NEEDS!
For instance, the 2017 Budget which was reluctantly signed into law by the Acting President, Professor 'Yemi Osinbajo, on 12th June 2017, was fraught with controversies in respect of all manners of FRESH INSERTIONS that did not emanate from the EXECUTIVE who is constitutionally empowered to prepare ANNUAL BUDGETS for smooth execution of all imperative projects - Capital/Concurrent - for the welfare of the citizens!

DIVIDENDS FROM MILITARY REGIMES.
Although military administrations which were autocratic, considered aberration to democracy and could not be exonerated from corruption, abuse of public office, embezzlement, mismanagement, etc; were and still unacceptable globally to both developed and developing economies, because of reckless abuse and violation of fundamental human rights, the Nigerian experience of almost 30 years of military governments, (compared to the SIXTEEN inglorious years of Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP), of orchestrated supervision of massive institutional corruption at all levels from Aso Rock to all the Local Government Wards in the Federation), had proved to be far better in the deliverance of socio-economic and infrastructural dividends for the good  of the masses who were always at the receiving end of the POWER STRUGGLE!

President Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's Military Ruler (31st December, 1983 - 27th August 1985), on assumption of office was determined to recover all embezzled government funds which had contributed to both domestic/foreign national debts but his good intentions were cut short within 20 months of ascension of office before he could achieve meaningful results.
The Nigerian Military struck, FIVE years into democracy and in the ensuing years of the several CHANGE OF GUARDS, we can equivocally say that all military regimes ventured to outdo one another before being overthrown!
For instance, the mission of Change Agenda embarked upon by the APC ruling government was the brain-child of President Muhammadu Buhari, who as military ruler between, 31st December, 1983 - 27th August, 1985, moved against the corrupt citizens in the polity to recover embezzled government funds which was responsible for the huge domestic and foreign debts incurred during the tenure of Alhaji Shehu Shagari, his civilian predecessor who ruled between October 1979 and 31st December, 1983!
Buhari as the military Head of State, within that short period also took urgent steps to restore discipline among the civil service and by extension to the populace through a programme tagged "War Against Indiscipline" which engendered patriotic tendencies of faithful and righteous service delivery, probity, honesty and equity in public and private businesses. Though, he was cut short from actualizing that DREAM, today, GOD has given him another opportunity to complete the divinely-ordained assignment which he began in 1983!

INFRASTRUCTURAL/INSTITUTIONAL LEGACIES OF THE MILITARY!
Nigerians have experienced SIX successful and THREE failed military coups without civil constitutions and legislators but through martial laws/decrees, yet the greatest dividends of productive governance to the masses, were recorded during those administrations! Emphasis was placed on masses-oriented policies which rejected the UNITARY system and introduced Social Infrastructures through the creation of 36 STATES;  creation of a new Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, introduction of the Local Government Reforms and regular employment opportunities for all categories of youths and employable able-bodied adults. Other achievements included, discouragement of Wastages in Governance through low profile lifestyles of Officers and men of the Armed Forces and the Civil Service;  dependence on crude oil was de-emphasised by government through the introduction of an agrarian policy which encouraged AGRICULTURE at all levels of government and among family units in such programmes tagged, "Operation Feed The Nation"; "Green Revolution"; etc; construction of Hydro-Electric/Thermal Stations for Water Dams in arid and semi-arid lands of the nation, where rainfall is low, for electric power generation, water- irrigation for farming and water supply - mostly in Northern Nigeria, (Jebba, Kainji, (NigerState); Bakolori, (Sokoto); Dadin Kowa, (Gombe); Jibiya (Katsina); Tiga, (Kano); Shiroro Dams (Niger); and began Egbin Power Station! Onne Fetilizer Plant in Rivers State, NAFDAC, Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Ajaokuta Steel Industry, etc.); eradication of corruption in the Public Service through probes into their earnings, properties and bank accounts were some other achievements.

The military administration also constructed national edifices like Stadia in all former national and some regional capitals, - National Stadium, Lagos; Kaduna Stadium, Kaduna; and also in various state capitals by Military Governors; the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, Tinubu Water Fountain Square, Lagos; National Theatre for Arts and Culture, Iganmu, Lagos; Third Mainland Bridge, Eko Bridge, Festac Town, all in Lagos; Lagos-Ibadan/Benin Express Road; new State Airports; construction of the Presidential Lodge (State House), Abuja ;  and construction of the Warri, Kaduna, and Port-Harcourt Refineries.
We challenge the 8th NASS Legislators to SHOWCASE their achievements outside of INSTITUTIONAL LOOTING OF THE TREASURY according to Abdulmumin Jibril!

THE NEED FOR PERIODIC CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS!
In credible global democracies, periodic constitutional amendments serve to deepen good governance and strengthen bilateral relationship between leaders and the led, but in Nigeria, ambitious legislators have turned the exercise into an avenue for acquiring more political powers outside of the sacred document!
All constitutions are fallible, having been crafted by human minds/brains and as such could be fraught with obsolete ideas as the years of nations progress, hence the intermittent revisions of the numerous sections to meet international best practice of evolving civilisations and technologies. Legislators of the 8th Assembly on the 26th and 27th July, 2017, agreed to forward 24 bills after all harmonisations, but through inordinate ambitions, have infuriated the sensibilities of the masses/electorate, who have rejected their selfish voting’s as enumerated in earlier paragraphs, before they could be forwarded to the Legislative Assemblies of the 36 States for TWO-THIRD majority ratification!

It is crystal clear that the legislators are on a suicidal bid to COVET Executive functions in spite of very distinctive functions and privileges of the TWO ARMS, which are unambiguous as stipulated and enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but have forgotten that the  Sovereignty to make FINAL DECISIONS belong to the entire 170 million PEOPLE OF NIGERIA whose psyche and sensibilities cannot continue to be manipulated by these UNGRATEFUL SERVANTS who dwell in comfort and opulence at the expense of our brethren in the IDPs Camps and those who sleep under the bridges and in market stalls in all weather conditions!

NIGERIA NEEDS A BRAND NEW CONSTITUTION WHICH WILL EMPHASIZE DEVOLUTION OF POWER TO FEDERATING UNITS, ENSHRINE RESOURCE CONTROL THROUGH DERIVATIVE FORMULA, PLACE LEGISLATION AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IN THE HANDS OF 74 PATRIOTIC NIGERIANS WHO WOULD CONSTITUTE ONLY ONE CHAMBER AS OBTAINS IN STATE ASSEMBLIES, WORK ON PART-TIME BASIS AND COLLECT CIVIL SERVICE REMUNERATION FORMAT, IN ORDER TO DISCOURAGE MONETARY ATTRACTIONS WHICH HAD BEEN A BANE TO NIGERIAN POLITICS SINCE 1999!
