We don’t need another constituent assembly. We have had more than enough constituent assembly conferences . Let them go through past reports and come out with a new constitution.
Exactly. No need to waste time and money again dey assemble people for months. Just give Nigeria a proper federal structure as originally agreed in 1963
Don't you think that times have changed, and even the confab of the pasts have to be tinkered to bring to terms with the present day Nigeria?
The past reports are inadequate as I remember on several attempts to making Constitutional recommendations in past administrations, the presiding President will always limit the players and tell them that they cannot deliberate on certain areas christened, "NO go areas". That is dictatorship and Al bi nitio frustrates the reason for the Conference in the first place.
So, there is a sure need for a no holds bar deliberation if this ever see the light of day peacefully and have it go through all the processes for IMMEDIATE implementation into LAW. We have played for too long as a people and country. We don't have time anymore before this country fragments.
U people should continue, even Tinubu didn't believe in Nigeria, the best is that let every region should govern themselves simple.
God bless you Erudite Professor Mike Ozekhome.
Nigeria's problem is not its former National Anthem nor its grund norm. Our problem is the endemic corruption inherent in us, remove corruption in our physique, we will become a perfect nation ready to harness our God giving treasures coasting to greatness!
How do you harness that if you don't correct the foundational problem? The governing document of every nation is what determines how far that country can go.... allow the people to produce a governing document that would dictate how they would be governed. Don't force anything on them.
100% facts! But how is that possible when the government and even the leaders and president of the country is corrupt. Give Tinubu 10 years he still can’t fix anything!
@@plateaulounge7506and the people are angels
😅😅😅. Bla bla bla. Why not suggest a realistic solution and how to go about it? This is the problem. Everyone is expert when it comes to criticizing Nigeria but nobody is capable of presenting factual information and practical solutions to the problem. I’d advise Nigerians to talk less and do more. Make yourselves productive. Plant maize or yam or potatoes next farming season and help boost food production. I’m sure that this will be a good start.
@@franklineekemezie6042 who is forcing you, those who want to go can have their way if they feel our collectiveness is the bane of their progress .
Nigeria needs devolution of power and resource control.
Leave 6-years out of it, no president of Nigeria should be given six years to come and do evil.
It shoukd be reduced to 3years, nonsense
If Ozekhome can stop pleading or accept to fight for corrupt politicians, if they lose an election, Nigeria will be better.
This is the best out of all comments to ME, why? the same Ozekhome goes to court day in day out the defend the same consistution he's condemning and defending politicians from different parties, how can a man will be defending LP, APC, PDP, APGA infact as long as any party approach his chamber at the same time!
TV guests speak better once on the programme
He practising his profession😢😢😢😢
They cannot loose election with that constitution, read 1999 constitution it said INEC has right to declare anybody the winner meaning once your brother is INEC chairman go and sleep you have won the election, did you see judges fault INEC chairman for anything, because constitution give them that rights, had it been there is a provision for NICE chairman to be sentenced to death, he will never rig election even come and defend the person's he rig election for
Na by force to be together... 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
In order to appreciate Nigeria as an entity, we must desist from using the USA as an example.
This is because the USA was created by British and Irish warlords, who have conquered the indigenes and eradicated the original unique identity of the Red Indians who occupied the space now conquered by people who shared the same heritage from the British empire.
In order to get a credible and equitable Nigerian system, we need to find a way to formulate a system that will respect our diversity and differences in our uniqueness.
The USA is not asking you to use them as their model..Saudi Arabia and China are fine. Nigeria should figure itself out too
Prof. Mike Ozekhome is an erudite scholar that knows his mantle and always strikes the right chords without contradiction. I like his analogy on the "tale wagging the dog."
Professor mike ozakome you are a gift to your race, more years to you
Let's go back as it were in 1960, let's go back to a regional system of government
💯💯💯
No matter what the constituents, corruption has been the greatest problems of this country. Let's assume that each constituent becomes independent and they still have these set of criminals continues to rise rough shod, continues with corruption, there will also be call to further split each constituent. So I believe the greatest challenge of Nigeria today is corruption. Political, legal and institutional reform is the name of the game.
That's true..The leaders aré disconnected with the masses who take the people for granted.
A people driven constitution will address all the lapses and loopholes in this present constitution. This current constitution encourages corruption because of the loopholes and lapses that are exploited by those unpatriotic nigerians. A people driven constitution will severely reduce corruption and promote patriotism.
For example, If the person that is managing your late grand father's multi assets is a very corrupt person and after much complain from you the grand children, your parents decide to share this assets among them " the direct children of your grand father"
IF the corruption Continues , Who now are you going to hold responsible.??? Your father offcourse , which is now closer to you and you will know best how to resolve his matter faster. 🤔
Incompetence is the first stage of corruption. You will end up with a corrupt system if you have an incompetent constitution. What kind of economic system allows the federal government to own all the resources and the state governors to control all the land. What will the people own? Poverty
Thank you Sir Mike Ozekhome you're such an awesome Man . We love you keep it up na God give you the Wisdom more blessings to you Sir🙏
I love the passion, the forthrightness and the eloquence of the prof. Seun is also top notch. Thumbs up ❤
Chief Mike brought me here right now. I learn, love his lectures, and hear how he analyses our history while professing solutions for national growth and development.
As long as we have vagabonds in power from the top to the last ward counselor please just forget Nigeria,the corruption in Nigeria is so much that when I personally think about it I get mental issues seriously,the thought of few people eating our common wealth makes me angry,already stopped stressing about Nigerias issue I just can’t deal.
The issue of a new constitution for Nigeria has been serially taken for granted by past rulers as an opportunity to elongate and preserve their failing administration; Tinubu's govt is about to exploit the same opportunity as a lifeline; so I feel.
This idea of food on the table being Nigerians major concern, is ridiculously! The Western region of Nigeria had a television establishment now NTA before France! Can you compare Nigeria with France today in terms of development and civilisation? No! Restructuring is the answer to our problems, period!
The preamble to the interview or subject matter provided by interviewer (Mr S Akinbaloye) was poorly articulated and organised. I almost lost interest until the Learned SAN (Mike Ozekhome) talking. Interview of this nature should be well planned and thought through before broadcasting. This programme enjoys some international audience and it is only proper for the interviewer to be organised. Nevertheless "Kudos" to the SAN for the argument he has proffered for a new constitution for Nigeria.
You're a good listener.
I respect you sir, Praying for peace and unity to your Country Negeria 🙏🙏
Nigerians need a new constitution that would involve the people of Nigeria.
Your explanation is very good sir, Praying for your Country and all Negeria Citizens hear or see this will open their eyes and mind, peace not for war Unity and Love your Country 🙏🙏🙏❤️
For this country to moved forward, the peoples must come together and discuss their union or otherwise. Good one the Patriots.
Oga Mike enough of this naked dance around the bush. We have had several constitutional conferences in this country with the latest in 2014 have we made used of it? I do not think we need any new "chop chop" conference but good leadership because no matter how beautiful a thing is if the people that will operate it is bad it will end up being bad.
The current document is not s3rvijg us well. While I agree with you that we don't need another conference, I'm a strong believer that 1999 constitution is illegitimate and should be discarded. How on earth do you give immunity to a governor? Why should we be looking to abuja for everything? Why won't the local government take charge of their resources and pay taxes to the center? Why? Why should I depend on abuja for my protection in my village, not the local government police? Policing is local. Allow the people to decide how they want to be governed.
Nigeria has suffered its share of unpatriotic leadership by the political class.
The last national conference was supposed to be the best thing that happened to nigeria if its recommendations were generally accepted by the political class,it simply did not work because of the selfish interests of some unpatriotic nigerians that were benefiting from the present constitution at the detriment of the entire nation and its people. We must take back our country from these unpatriotic elements, majorly the political class and others that seek to enrich themselves and cronies at the expense of the greater nation.
@@franklineekemezie6042 So the ministers that are stealing left, right, center now, are they immune? Stop stealing! Constitution will not solve anything. What we should be discussing is how to stop stealing. What do we do with people that steal. Nationhood, constitution et al, nonsense.
The most annoying thing is the items contained in the exclusive list of the constitution.
Absolutely brilliant man, that is why you're a SAN.
A change in constitution within a country where Law is not respected by the government, may just be a wasteful exercise waiting to achieve nothing for the people.
Protest has not dealt with the root of Nigeria problems when the root is dealt with hunger corruption will naturally die
Seun finally invited non Yoruba intellectual who is fair-minded and nationally minded. The discourse is refreshing, informative, and patriotic.
Seun, hopefully, you learned a lot from the discussion. YOU MUST STOP BELITTLING YOURSELF BY BEING MARRIED TO YORUBA TRIBALISTIC TENDENCIES!!
Dr. O
Nigeria is indivisible? Absolutely nonsense! Carrying on with this contraption called unitary government will eventually lead to Nigeria secession in a terrible way called skata, skata...
Nigeria doesn't need anything "New Constitution", but "Good Governance ". Nothing is wrong with the Constitution of Nigeria but the implementation of the Constitution by the politicians who are incompetent, incapable, lazy to think critically and being able to be creative, and bring about innovative ideas for better governance. Previous government has been empowering thieves, criminals,looters of public outright incompetent individuals for over sixty years (60) of political backwardness. Take a look at successful countries in terms of good governance like Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Rwanda, etc. Good governance is the hallmark of a good nation-building not the Constitution. Constitution is a reference document to guide leadership on its national directions for development, especially in a multi-ethnics, multi-religion, and a diverse country like Nigeria. Let's look first and foremost on ourselves individually, not a document of Constitution. We are to change our attitudes, mindsets, behaviors, ethnocentric bigotry, and ill-feeling against ourselves. Attitudinal change, perceptional change of mind sets, and start to thinking positively about ourselves.
Whether two or even hundred former Nigerian Presidents said that "the sovreignty of Nigeria is not negotiable" does not make the statement right. That is their views, they are not authorized to speak for the peoples of Nigeria. The fact is that we were not consulted before we were amalgamated in 1914. There must be a forum to negotiate how we will live or not live together as a country, that document is the constitution. This is the time for the people's constitution. Thank you Dr Mike.
Peter Obi💜💜
I can see clearly how passionate SAN Ozekhome was/is on this matter and I hope it happens in his life time.
Hmmmn! Definitely the only way forward. So help us God
The constitution should be review, ver important.
Where is the old recommendations why not look at the document again.
What has changed? Nothing. We will likely has same type of problems today
This request should be to look at the past effort.
Thanks
The problem of Nigeria as country is not the constitution, it the mindset of the people. A new Constitution can never be the solution to Nigeria because that will not change the people. How will the constitution change for example corruption which cancer in the Nigeria? How will the constitution eliminate the social economic and insecurity situation in the country today? Common laws in Nigeria that are generated from the current constitution are never obeyed by Nigerians, how would a new constitution change that indiscipline amongst the citizens? The guest is a lawyer and he knows that Nigerians who commit crimes that he represents sometime in court do not indulge in committing those crimes because of the constitution. The easiest way to do away with a constitution is going through it item by item, page by page, adding what is necessary and deleting what is not necessary or obsolete. Many laws have been created based on the current constitution which will have to also be reviewed. There is a big difference between laws and cultural identity, criminal acts or activities currently in Nigeria are not based on which tribe the criminal come from. Therefore, the idea of the people's constitution should not be echoed in trying to justify a new constitution for the country. Laws are Laws and should be obeyed that everyone once the normal process to enact them are followed. The president in his judgement and assessment of the current situation in the country responded that the economy is is priority at this time which was not a complete decline of the request made by the Patriot Group. Infact the group has to be commended for the boldness and efforts. Perhaps if the organizers of the protest had approached the president similarly, they would gotten some responses as well. Embarking on the process of coming up with a new constitution while dealing with the current hardship and the reformation process in the country may even compound the chaos .The citizens of Nigeria are not the same as the countries the guest is pointing out to have done well after changing their constriction. Nigeria is a very complex society, with many languages, culture and religious difference. People from Indonesia are like people from the northern part of Nigeria that are banded by the same culture and religion, creating a constitution for the people will be a piece of cake. Nigerians must accept the country for what it is and stop comparing it to other countries. For example the Prime Minster of Bangladesh voluntarily left the country, has that ever happened in the history of Nigerian leaders? Of course not. Therefore, Nigerians should be careful when they cite what is happening in other countries around the world.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is the fundamental problem of Nigeria. I will illustrate it thus: Your father gave birth to you and your 10 siblings. When you guys grew up and started your families, your father is the one that oversees the running of your households psychosocially putting laws that your children will follow as they are growing up. Of course your children will not really have any regard for you or your ways and your father can never effectively raise them in discipline and love as you or your wife would. Also, all your salaries are first submitted to your father and you get a stipend back to run your household. Furthermore, whatever comes out in the garden soil in your house belongs to your father but whatever you plant on the soil in the garden is yours. Tell me, how effective is that system in inculcating integrity, civic responsibility, sense of belonging and industriousness in you or your household in such setting? If you can answer me effectively, then I'll agree with your view that we don't need a "Peoples' constitution"
The same man that single handedly build lagos and discovered humans in lagos is now a shadow of his promises,
Bingo
Tinubu has no good social services in place in Lagos, he only succeeded in building infrastructures and generating revenues at the expense of giving Lagosians a good livelihood
@cityconsult7304 in terms of infrastructure, you must be referring to BRF. Tinubu instituted the reign of touts and miscreants. Simple.
...as if saving Nigeria is a magic wand.
Free nnamdi kanu
Nigeria primarily problems is INEC.
Any company that can not hire the right staff and fire them when they perform below expectations will end going bankrupt and insolvent.
Any CEO of company that performs like Nigeria politicians will get fired immediately.
Thank you Chief Ozekhome and all the patriots. Let’s see if Mr. President will convene the Constituent Assembly. I am saddened that most of the so called leaders in Nigeria don’t want Nigeria to be good and progressive because they are benefiting from the corruption and other vices killing Nigeria and Nigerians.
Mr.Ozekhome has explained it to any layman to understand, so let the country restructure for betterment of all in the country.
This man is historic, and intellect,
But why can't Nigeria be reorganized? Nigeria can be easily reorganized only when our leaders want to move our country forward !
Am concern, I don’t think the crop of politicians we have now have good intent to advocate for this conference.
The bottomline is a return to where the geographical expression began at independence. Any thing less than this, is a mere rigmarole.A very good constitution without the willingness of the political class and institutions of state to implement the letters is a futile endeavor. The rule of law and strong institutions is the only check and cure for all forms of corruption in any system .
You created Nigeria twert what has it lead us today !
We either go the America way or the Great Britain parliamentary system. Your response nailed it Prof.
No Nigeria needs regionalism with state policing, mineral rights, controlled by states. A fg that controls the military, and, economic policies. And each state needs a specialty, for example Igbo ppl produce cars and pharmaceuticals.North produces agriculture and mining. And Yoruba dominates textile market, as, well as shoes. South south controls oil. This way Nigeria wouldn’t need to import from any country in the world, and could export in surplus.
And each region would have a flag. With Nigerias flag being the flag of all the regions put together.
Ozekome ndewoooo
Let biafra go and let Nigeria go let please red
Mr president u have d power to reduce P m price and food stuff price 4 Nigeria people
The president is now championing virtually everything he criticized and condemned in Jonathan's administration.
Mr president reduced fuel prices and food stuff price 4 Nigeria people Nigeria we be better again
Can Tinubu be smart and selfless to do what the people want..... You want to have economic reform without a sound constitution... How can you do that....
Everytime good English in Nigeria problem is too much so let biafra let Nigeria be
Let Nigerians speak for you and address the issues at stake.
Who are those voting against the reform? I think the media should tell us, or are you media one of those politicians? And who are the cabal (the intrigues themselves?)
Nigeria is so divided around ethnic and religious line for her to progress. The only people not divided around these two are the politicians.
You not a politician but you been representing all the PDP Governor looters in Nigeria.
Don't mind them my brother they are all chop chop people
So he shouldn't be a lawyer cos PDP candidates think him competent?
Continue
I have always said it that abdulsalami was our big problem they purposefully draft that constitution
Am proud of you. You are my friend. l love you l respect Prof Sir. See endtimeatlast. We need what the Patriots proposed. President Tinubu should listen to them and act fast. In 2007 & 2008,l toured the Country 2 times ,gathered Nigerian Eunchs and Virgins together at international Conference Center, Eagle Square respectfully, and we prayed for Nigeria Survival,healing and deliverance.God answered us. We snd you are enjoying the Fruits of those intercessions. Urgently and foremost Seun & Prof Mike is "A National DAY OF REPENTANCE ". How to go about it,l will disclose later when l am consulted Period. Ps 51.Jn 1. Thanks. Pst Obasi C. Samuel.Ph.D .
Barrack Ozekhome is a true federalism, true Nigeria who want 9ja 2 survive
Mr president we don't need story in Nigeria mr president reduced fuel prices and food stuff price 4 Nigeria people Nigeria we be better again
Tinubu reduce P m price and food stuff price 4 Nigeria people Nigeria we be better again
D problem is P m price and food stuff price
Mr president address Nigeria people reduce P m price and food stuff prices
This Lawyer SAN Prof Ozhikome is like a prophet who doesn't have dignity in his own Land 😂😂😂
Nigerian problem is to fixed the economy and everyone will forget where he's coming from
Mr president what is d problem now u don't want to reduce P m price and food stuff price
Dot in the middle statement based on the context of the discussion did not meant Tiny but a center of every where. People's understanding just differs.
😂😂😂😂😂 please stop
🎉🎉
Was it not people- driven?. It cost Nigeria about 7bn. You people know how to waste money
If you want to amend our constitution, the constitution itself has made provision as to how to amend it.
Why can't the government implement the 2014 confab. Was it not
I don’t believe that Tinubu is in charge of the country. Nobody knows who is actually in charge of Nigeria. Obviously they don’t want the country to function. An example of that project is 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Where Nigerian athletes failed woefully. Why are Nigerian athletes and citizens successful abroad but not in Nigeria? Is the answer not clear to anyone?
The only chance to be on top
Rather than the New Constitution Rollercoaster and hullabaloo, in my opinion I feel the Legislators should enact a law on Continuity of Government policies and should only be changed if the upper and lower chambers 2-3rd majority agrees on it.
Short lived policies is our Major problem in Nigeria, because projects instead of being completed are abandoned and others start immediately with huge sum of monies, complete then you start another.
Continuity in Government policies is the key to maximizing Nigeria's Socio-economic potentials.
Mr president na wa oooo ongry every wr in Nigeria mr president why
Nigerians are no 1 any where, anytime
Structuring Nigeria is the way forward but I'm not sure the northerners will agree with this submission because you are broken their pot of soup.
Seun, you are disrupting the flow of the discussion. Sometimes your interruptions lead no where.
All B.S and platitudes. I see a man who takes care of is own look rather than what happens to the people
Prof, the name of former prime minister of Bangladesh is Sheikh HasinaHasina, sir!
Seun, with Jagaban? you wait for it... hopefully in this generation 😅
hmmm same reconstruction Nnamdi Kanu has been yeling over years and Nigeria refused to listen, now i think everyone is coming to their senses .........hmm there re still more to unfold we are waiting with our fingers crossed
Them de talk better thing you de call bingo
SUPPLIES US FOOD FOOD FOOD
MONEY & DON’T KPAI US , CHILDREN AGED PARENTS OUR YOUTHS SUFFER TOO MUCH
IYA YIO POOO
SAVE SOULS
GOD DEY O
Could this high profile guest speak his own traditional language just as the way he speaks English language? That is my question please
U can't compare Nigeria to USA bcz Nigeria is multi cultural country not monocultural country, bcz USA is monocultural country were 76% of USA majority speak the same language, so in Nigeria we have different languages everywhere so we can't be one anymore, so regional system is the best for us to practice like before, so by doing that break up Nigeria is very easy, ibo people are the one kept us to this unity's system of Nigeria 1966 they are the one suspend regional system of government we will practices before..
Is this the Channels without the watermark? The video quality is still gross, though.
Dan Iska!Look Indian you go seee
Tinubu make referees to work
Interesting view point. Elaborate with specific details!
Dead on arrival this js the bitter truth. You rubbish the national Assembly and you want them to approve it. Ozekhome is not diplomatic enough on the issue of the national assembly.
Mr osekhumen.
President BUHARI was never referring to all igbos as a (dot) I'm a circle.
Rather, President BUHARI was referring to ipob that were disturbing the peace of the southeast.
So stop spreading bad information.
Did Seun invite this Professor/Patriot to tell us the history of the Country. The same Jonathan you served under has put Nigerians into this mess we're in today! Too much talk Mr Patriot. This is all ru***sh
What’s your point with this your incoherent statement?
Thiefnubu does not have the interest of Nigeria at heart. Why should he midwife a constitution for us? He will see it as an opportunity to legalise his and his family's criminalities. Not Thiefnubu, please.
You haven't said how the constitution is affecting Nigeria
Most of you people just go with the popular sayings and don't even understand
How is the constitution Nigerians major problem?
What's the guarantee that another constitution will make Nigeria better?
We are one body.
We are one nation.
Great people together.
TV
You people distract Nigerians
