Über mich

With a 400-word post on Facebook final Wednesday, deputy Senate president Ike
Ekweremadu has set the Nigerian media buzzing. It is a proposal many have canvassed given that
2000 and earlier. The constitution conferences of 1994 and 2004 prescribed it.

A group of eminent Nigerians known as "The Patriots" and
another group of religious leaders did sell the idea to then president Obasanjo.
The National Assembly set up a constitution amendment committee and empowered it with
billions of naira in 2001. And quickly soon after the 2011 polls,
then president Jonathan forwarded a bill for a single tenure to the National
Assembly. No require mentioning numerous of us columnists - we’re tiny voices that could
be ignored. Senator Ekweremadu has probably grow to be one of
the voices of cause in the corridors of energy.

As the topmost opposition politician now (and most likely a sought-soon after
presidential operating mate soon), his voice should carry weight.
I look at him a huge fish in our campaign for restructuring.
Nigeria will not make appreciable progress until we’ve restructured
our politics, our economy, our culture, our education system
and everything else. Anything is incorrect with the way we choose leaders who run our
governments. Quite a few have named for a return to the
parliamentary method since it is much less costly.
But what happened to Selection A4 invented by the Professor Humphry Nwosu-led NEC in 1992?

Would it not pay far better if all elections - such as celebration primaries and the basic election - had been completed by electoral colleges comprising delegates chosen from the wards via LGAs and
states up to the national level?

Nigeria has been in perpetual electioneering given that 1999 simply because, each now and then, enormous funds are wasted on the conduct of the various neighborhood, state and federal elections.

A whopping N242billion has just been budgeted for the 2019 polls!
And that’s for INEC alone - incumbents and their challengers from 91
parties have to amass their personal war chests. But, all these have
not frequently led to the declaration of the electorate’s choices as winners or the election of the most certified candidates.

I wish the senator from Enugu West could enable us to say more, so that possibly he would be listened to.

To make political offices much less eye-catching and ease tension prior to elections, some of us have proposed abolishment of safety votes, transparency in award of contracts, portion-time unicameral legislature at all levels, and non-selective
anti-corruption war. This nation direly desires a surgical
operation - devoid of a main restructuring, it is not going anywhere:
corruption will not stop, and the economy would remain in a cesspit.
I’ve said this numerous occasions in the past 10
years. No quantity of propaganda can deface
the truth. Ekweremadu comes from a component of the nation that has been crying
against marginalisation for a long time. If he succeeds in increasing to a higher workplace subsequent year (as vice president or Senate president possibly), he should
really say a lot more and do far more than publishing a post
on Facebook.

A new constitution should really think about
letting Nigeria have a weak centre in a two-tier structure: six
regions and a central government. Amongst the other products I anticipate to see in a restructuring strategy is a credible census.
We don’t even know how many we are. But, in this age of ICT,
getting a national database is as easy as swallowing
a ball of fufu. An correct population census should really go hand in hand with issuance of
a national identity card to every single adult Nigerian.
The ID card would then serve as a voter card and also be employed for tax payment.

That will solve for the nation a mountain of problems such
as insecurity, election rigging and tax dodging.

Next: payment of civil-service salary to public officeholders,
a token sitting allowance to lawmakers who would work on a element-time basis.
Any individual wishing to serve shouldn’t anticipate riches.
Each and every supply of wealth must be laid bare, and all unexplained assets
should really be forfeited to the state. An act of corruption should attract the death penalty.
That would make political offices less desirable and save the nation about N4trillion every year.
Economic reforms are desirable also. The weekly sale of foreign currencies must
finish banks or importers should really be free of charge to source their foreign exchange anyplace but the Central Bank.
That way, the naira would obtain its level.

1 in the brief term, points will not get worse than they
are now. It would be intriguing to watch those that would buy private jets or
import toothpicks. Safety threats would cease if job opportunities had been made for the youth.
Accordingly, our education technique should be tied to jobs - institutions ought to run only courses relevant to out there industries.
We should begin to de-emphasise paper certification and emphasise skills in order to produce job creators
rather than jobseekers. We should really throw our borders open to foreigners.
They should come, invest in Nigeria and compete with Nigerians.

Let them create and distribute power sourced from coal, solar, water or
nuclear plants. Lease our vast farmlands (like Sambisa Forest
and Lake Chad) to really serious farmers from
Zimbabwe, South Africa, India, China and Israel.
If we need a restructuring agenda, there it is!
Any basic transform will require an overhaul or replacement of the present defective constitution. We’ve been dying in instalments simply because we’ve refused to do what is appropriate.

A cabal seems to be holding Nigerian leaders hostage, and possibly that is why many of them are unable to see clearly until soon after they have
left office. Someday, Ekweremadu may well properly turn into the revolutionary leader required to slay the cabal.
