Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities to dismantle Unitary Nigeria – Nnadi

The Secretary-General, Lower Niger Congress (LNC), Tony Nnadi declared that a Congress of Nigeria ethnic nationalities and it’s MNN Alliance has perfected plans to imposed Nigeria unitary constitution through a constitutional “force majeure”.

Speaking in a video conference organised by Elombah Television, the Secretary General explained that constitutional ‘force majeure’ is the mechanism that will be used to free the  over 150 million people of the Lower Niger Congress from the Fulani hegemony that has retarded the progress of the country.

Force majeure is a common clause in contracts that essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, epidemic or an event described by the legal term as ‘act of God’, prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract.

Nnadi said the Nigeria constitution has become distressed and the social contract by which Lower Niger entered into a political union with the rest of the country in 1960 have been frustrated by the Fulani Caliphate. [SEE VIDEO BELOW]

He said, “On 11 of December, 2018, these three blocks in the alliance, the Lower Niger, the Yorubas and the Middlebelt came out to say they have gone through all the Democratic process of rejecting that constitution and therefore they will not tolerate any further election under the 1999 Constitution.”

The Lower Niger Congress is a self-determination movement for the indigenous peoples of the Lower Niger to live free and prosper in their own ancestral homeland without intrusions and impositions by external interests.

Lower Niger Congress consisting of South East, South South, and acting in concert with the South West and the Middle belt in an MNN Alliance, have repudiated the 1999 constitution and will dismantle the imposed union.

“The constitutional force majeure is the mechanism by which that decision would be enforced”, Nnadi stated.

“They are going to come out to tell the whole world that the Union of Nigeria as defined by constitution of 1999 has become distressed that the social contract by which we entered into political union have been frustrated by those that proposed sharia, who are now killing other people in order to take their lands permanently and therefore they will have advance to their self determination initiative.

“The Yoruba has their constitution, you saw them go to UN the other day , you saw them rolling out Amotekun; in the eastern part things are going, in the middle belt things are going on, these three will come together, the constitutional force majeure is to declare an emergency that this constitution can no longer be the basis of the union.”

He explained that the United Nations instruments that would be used to facilitate the dissolution of the Caliphate hegemony would not depend on anybody to agree with them before the unitary union is dismantled.

Shedding more light on how this will be achieved, the Secretary General of Lower Niger Congress said, “you only need to be a Nationality on your ancestral space , Ijaw on Ijaw land, Ogoni on Ogoni land, we have organised them in which their right can be exercise and the constitutional force majeure is to declare an emergency.”

He added, “The UN instrument that defined what will happen is the United Nation Right of Declaration of Indigenous People of 2007. I have copy of it here, it entitles indigenous nationalities to their rights of self determination and it is inalienable and what we have done is to organise them in the formation through which they can easily exercise that right.”

Speaking on the reason for escalating agitations for self determination in the country, Nnadi said the major reason for self determination agitation by various ethnic nationalities is as result of their grievances against the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria which took over their assets and gave it to the Fulani.

He said some of the provisions in the Exclusive Legislative List of the the 1999 Constitution, like Power, Security and Ports, Oil and Gas are not supposed to be on that list if the country wants to move forward.

In his words, “On that Exclusive List you will find the power to carry arms, on that exclusive list you will find the issue of Oil and gas which is in the Niger Delta, the power to generate electricity.

“There is nobody that will get electricity beyond 3,000 mega watts, is it not lunacy ?

“If we remove that item, power, from Exclusive list in six months things are going to change.

“Lagos will have not less than 50,000 mega watts instead of sharing 3,000 mega watts with the entire country.

“Every body has to generate their own electricity. The reason why we are suffering from epileptic power supply is because of the type of constitution we are operating. As it is to electricity, so it is to the Ports.

“Why is it that all vessels will go to Apapa which is now in ruins because Ports are in the Exclusive List?

“They diverted all shipping traffic to Lagos port, whereas 80 percent of people that ship things to the country are from Eastern Nigeria.

“Why must they come to Lagos when they can situate a Port in Aba?

“You can see what this constitution is causing? The 1999 Constitution is the shackle holding down the development of the country.

“No matter what you think, it is only the security they give to you, you are going to work with.

“Anything they are going to do about Nigeria, those 68 items on the Exclusive List are the guarantee that those thing will fail.

“Electricity is not going to improve, security is not going to improve, the infrastructure is not going to improve, even in the matter of electing who is going to govern us, look at what happens in Imo state; people voted in an election, a winner emerged, he was sworn in and is already working, and then some herdsmen sitting in Abuja in the name of the Supreme Court simply announced that the man who came fourth in the election is now the one that will be the governor and actually removed the one that won the election by a clear margin and installed their choice as governor.

“It is only on account of the matter of election for federal and States being in that exclusive list that the people are suffering from this brigandage.”

According to Nnadi, “The Lower Niger Congress is an aggregation of several Self-Determination Initiatives of the Eastern Half of Southern Nigeria, being the Ethnic Nationalities spread across the combined pre-1966 Eastern and Midwestern Regions of Nigeria (now fractured into the 11 States and currently described as the South-East and South-South Geopolitical Zones of Nigeria)

“Formally unveiled to the Public, 2009 in Warri, after several years of unpublicized Operations and Collaborative Outreaches to the rest of Nigeria, in what crystalized into the Movement for New Nigeria (MNN), an Alliance of the Non-Sharia rest of Nigeria, being the Yoruba Contiguous Territory and the Middle Belt respectively.

“The LNC, together with it’s MNN Alliance Partners, posit that the defunct Federation of Nigeria, which collapsed irredeemably since 1966, must now be dissolved and dismantled into cohesive Blocs of Independent Units of  Successor States that may derive new Protocols with Compatible, Willing Contiguity, Post-Nigeria.

“The LNC (and its MNN Partners) holds that the simultaneous imposition and enforcement of Sharia since year 2000 by the 12 Contiguous Predominantly-Muslim States of the Far North of Nigeria, amounts to a Secession from the supposedly Secular Federation of Nigeria whose 1999 Constitution, flawed as it is, expressly forbid State Religion.

“By this unilateral move, that Sharia Bloc has rendered any Union of Nigeria impossible.

“The LNC further holds that since the adherents of Sharia owe it as an eternal duty of faith to kill the infidel, it has become imperative that the non-Sharia rest of Nigeria, particularly the Eastern Half of Southern Nigeria which is completely Christian, must make alternative Constitutional arrangements for their own future.

“The LNC Proposes and is actively pursuing an orderly Devolution Plan, via Referendum (and Plebiscites where applicable), to build a prospective Lower Niger Federation, which is basically the 1967 Biafra plus the 1967 Midwestern Region of Nigeria, aggregating as a Six-Bloc Sub-Regional Federation of broadly cohesive Ethnic Nationalities Groupings as clearly Depicted in the aforementioned 1885 Pre-Colonial Ethnolinguistic Map of the Lower Niger Territory, Delineating these Ethnolinguistic Groupings.

“This 1885 Map was Adopted as the Geographical Basis of that Prospective Lower Niger Federation by the SOLEMN ASSEMBLY of Peoples of the Lower Niger in Port Harcourt on the 27th of April 2015 which also Mandated a Referendum to decide the future of the Territory, in keeping with the Self-Determination Rights of the Indigenous Ethnic Nationalities entrapped since 1914 in the failed Lugardian Experiment called “Nigeria”, and as enunciated by the appropriate UN Instruments on the subject.

“An important Project Milestone has been attained in which the three MNN Alliance Blocs have all
Repudiated the Imposed Apartheid-like 1999 Constitution as the Basis of the Nigerian Federation and
this brings the Project to the REFERENDUM Threshold where the entrapped Constituent Component
Bloc of the distressed Federation of Nigeria will in unfettered Self-Determination, decide the future of
their various Peoples.

“Currently, the LNC is Registering 3 Million Referendum Volunteers for Training and Deployment toward
various tasks associated with the Referendum already being processed for the Lower Niger Territory.
It is pertinent to note that both the “Biafra” Agitation Groups and the Niger Delta Agitation Groups,
subscribe to what has now become the Lower Niger Referendum Movement.”
