#Ogoni Of My Birth And Other Oppressed nationalities in Nigeria. Do Not Be Disturbed, for the delibrate exclusion melted on you by the rulers of this nation. Because, Nigeria May Not See 2016. The amalgamation ordinance has expired. It is high time we negotiate the unions treaty, entered into by the various nationalities that make up the country known as and called Nigeria. Therefore, we ought to agree either to extend it or not. Yet some people are hoodwinking Nigerians and drawing billions of naira to prepare for a bash in a union that may not exist beyond 2015. Contrary to the false impression being peddled by some people that “the basis of Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable, it is pertinent to state categorically that such assertions are wrong and mischievous display of ignorance, especially by those who feel that they are benefiting from the illegal contraption of the colonist and jihadist expansionists, whose interests collided in the process of the scramble for territories and resources, belonging to then Lower Niger Region(south south and south east federation).. “When the 1914 Amalgamation Ordinance was proclaimed, there was no evidence to show that the people or and the inhabitants of the territory called Northern and Southern protectorates were ever consulted to discuss and consent to live together as one country and under one constitution. There is no single document supporting the legal existence of Nigeria. the Lugards mission to Nigeria was to use military power to intimidate and subdue any resistance from the natives and to use fear and ignorance to wield the natives together. These, were far from an altruistic motive to build a new nation that will harness the energy and resources of its people and territory to develop into a prosperous nation. As a military man, Lugard’s mission to Nigeria on his posting from India, was to ensure a military conquest of the new country and to use force to quell any rebellion that might arise from the amalgamation ordinance, Nigerian nationalists opposed all the constitutions that came from 1914 to 1954, but the British were smart as to keep the colonial ordinance of amalgamation away from the nationalists to avoid a possible legal challenge and confrontation. while the idea of the proposed #national conference by the #Jonathan administration was desirable and welcomed, the time had come for Nigerians to take a second look at the legal basis for the existence of Nigeria as a corporate entity
