ONE-NIGERIA IS A MASTER-SERVANT REALITY. EITHER WE KEEP IT SO OR WE TAKE DECISIVE STEPS TO REJECT IT. ANYTHING ELSE IS SELF-DELUSION.
Whether anyone from Eastern Nigeria sees it or not, the most potent lever of engagement the rest of Nigeria, particularly the East, has right now against the Oligarchy of the Sokoto Caliphate, is to repudiate the Nigerian Union as Defined by Caliphate-imposed Unitarist Constitution which effectively traps, confiscates and Subjugates the Sovereignty of the rest of Nigeria into the hands of the Caliphate and their British sponsors with whom it runs the Joint Venture called "Nigeria" which yields a daily 3millions barrels of bloodoil for the JV.
That JV has defined Nigeria comprehensively as a 36-State/774-LG Unitarism with a 68-Item Federal Exclusive Legislative List which effectively confiscates and sequesters ALL key Economic Assets and the Rights to work those Assets into the hands of the All-Conquering Caliphate and its 1967 Alliance against the East which marauds as "Federal Government" of an imposed One-Nigeria.
It is not enough to know that the Caliphate Oligarchy is consolidating and reinforcing its hold on our seized Sovereignty and on power (Power, for the Caliphate is more for that consolidation and reinforcement but the rest of the Country do not seem to understand that, and so they all go chanting some vacuous "Democracy" and "Constitution" under a Master-Servant imposed Constitutional Regimen, in absolute folly, like people under a thick spell or hypnosis.
The big challenge is, WHAT CAN BE DONE TO REVERSE THIS especially with the undisguised CONQUEST and ISLAMIZATION that has been added to the British-crafted Caliphate Dominion that has already lasted a little over a 100 years.
This is where the LNC/MNN decisive intervention against that 1999 instrument that enact, authorize and legitimized the Sovereignty heist that lock Eastern Nigeria into the receiving end of the Master-Servant Constitutional impositions of the Caliphate.
If the East wants any adjustments at all in its Slave status and situation, it must start by rejecting that imposed definition of Nigeria, encapsulated by the so-called 1999 Constitution.
The Strategy for doing that effectively is by rejecting One-Nigeria which is precisely what the Eastern Nigeria Self-Determination Collective, led by the LNC is doing.
Those from the East who want to keep One-Nigeria but also want the terms of the Federation altered via what has been popularized as "RESTRUCTURING", by the Yoruba Sector of the 1967 One-Nigeria Alliance against the East, are terribly naive, in not realizing that One-Nigeria, which is totally different from the defunct Nigeria Federation that collapsed 1966, has been defined by the Victorious 1967 Alliance via the instrumentality of the 1979 Constitution now transmogrified into the 1999 Constitution.
The embarrassing failure of the Eastern Nigeria Leadership Collective to grasp these simple matrixes leaves the Eastern Nigeria Self-Determination Collective, along with the rest of the Eastern Nigeria Populace to urgently prosecute the Self-Redemption Campaign of Eastern Nigeria without the bulk of that Eastern Nigeria Leadership Collective, which seems completely decoupled from the People it claims to lead.
Time runs so dangerously short that it seems more like suicide for those awake and striving, to wait until those still snoring inside the Burning House of Lugard wake up from their spell-like slumber, to effect the needful salvaging called for by the dangerously fast degenerating situation of Eastern Nigeria.
The bubble represented by the "Restructuring" bogey employed by the 1967 Alliance to keep the East straggling along with One-Nigeria, already burst with the flat rejection of Restructuring by the hawks of the Conservative North.
Any delusions left ought to have been cleared by the public, express repudiation of the "Restructuring" Campaign by Prof Yemi Osinbajo, the Vice-President and now Acting President who baring death, incapacity or the sudden collapse of Nigeria itself, is President-in-Waiting.
It takes the criminally naive, not to see that Nigeria will snap from the debates between "Coordinating Vice-President" Forces and the "Acting President" Forces.
