After going through some sections of the constitution of USA, I - TopicsExpress

After going through some sections of the constitution of USA, I was dumbfounded when I saw that after 200 years, its still boldly written that any American states have the right to secede if they choose to. Surprisingly, no American state has ever asked for secession even with this secession right their constitution accords them. Why? Because all American states feel protected and fulfilled under the country called United States of America (USA). After independence, it became obvious to Indians that they had so much that divided them than what united them. Thus, India broke up into Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Many countries followed Indias footstep after independence. Recently, Scotland demanded to opt-out of United Kingdom (UK). Their demand was gladly received and UK authority promised to test it through referendum come next year. In Nigeria, our Hausa/Fulani military imposed constitution sees secessionist movement as an act of treasonable felony. Thus, freedom fighter like Ken Sarowiwa of Ogoni land was hanged by Gen. Sani Abacha. What did Sarowiwa do? He led a group called Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People (MOSOP). Also, Raph Uwazuruike has been imprisoned several times for leading a group called Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB). For 53 years, Nigerians have been battling to live together but its obvious that it has not worked but a given section of the country (Hausa/ Fulani) wants us to continue living together because they are benefitting with terms like quota system, federal character, educationally advantaged/disadvantaged states, dubious census figure, fraudulent federal system of government at the excruciating expense of others. Do you know that all the 36 states in Nigeria were created by northerners? Tell me the state a southerner created. This is why Kano alone has 44 local government areas and Katsina 34. To maintain the status quo, they (Hausa/Fulani) must either be in charge of Aso Rock or dictate who rules Nigeria. Otherwise, the country must be made ungovernable for the president. This is just the reason behind the emergence of boko haram. Hausa/Fulani should know that Peace cannot exist in the face of injustice. You dont beat a child and order the child not to cry.
