I honestly and sincerely believes that this very kind of constitution can be practicable in our present day Nigeria, I know that some people will argue me that Cuba is a communist state thereby any social-socialist achievement they have attained is very impossible in our present society , I totally disagree and that is not the theme for my writing , that even in the impossible, I still sees i'm possible ,my call is for human altruism , self-sacrifice that will improve our society, a crony call for patriotism and good rational reasoning and judgement, that will project outwardly our nation wellbeing through a healthy dialogue via government of national unity that will finally faction out Nigerian peoples constitution that will take care all the whole segments of our society like the Cuban constitution , let us now call for a referendum that will discussed how our people can rightful be the owners of our political powers, let it be known that any community, no matter Where, in which any citizen is not allowed to have his voice in the Making of the laws he must obey, that community is a tyranny.
It is a matter of astonishment to me that the Nigerian leaders who are deliberately avoiding the call for open-dialogue that will be able to chat a new cause for a better Nigeria should now rethink their actions.
It is a matter of astonishment to me that the Nigerian leaders who are deliberately avoiding the call for open-dialogue that will be able to chat a new cause for a better Nigeria should now rethink their actions.
If they citizens vote can’t count and they are not allowed to vote for the person of their choice or allow govern themselves in peace then I fear for the tribulation that will follow such, there is no sound reason why we must not have a national dialogue that will allow us to fashion out better ways we can stay together in peace as one nation, if not then the American idea of democracy we are coping is obvious a failure on our side , upon this very ground am supporting the call for the government of national unity and regional- dialogue that will address our numerous problems as a people, from a refined view point, let the referendum start now , where my right to vote and be voted for, will count because I am a man and a citizen of Nigeria, and that right I should and willing to demonstrate............................................
