Toyin,
"Is the current political system adequate to get us out of this?" Toyin. You have asked a million dollar question. From my experience, it cannot. We will continue to go rigmarole for another 60 years with lamentation.
Toyin, can you believe the National Assembly building caved in and rain drenched the place. It is like American Capitol building in the US and members of the National Assembly could not fix it before it caved in and rain drenched the place. If the Lawmakers could not fix their hallow chambers how can they fix a complex issues of governance?
The Lawmakers since 1999 could not amend the constitution they inherited from the military until some Fulani herdsmen became wild and daring in their demands for acquisition of land by force in the southern states. They engaged in terrorism, banditry, killings, raping, kidnapping and payment of ransom with impunity. The APC led government looks the other way when the terrorists were destroying our institutions of learning and making sure many of them were closed down.
The power house of development is education which has been held hostage by these militant Fulanis whose agenda is to Fulanize and Islamize the country. They have no aesthetic ambience and they detest western education.
They have a different mindset that is antithetical to other ethnic nationalities. How can we live together under a constitution they don't understand its language and meaning? How do you coexist and live in peace with them as President Buhari administration demands?
Therefore, it is obvious that the present political system is not workable. The best option is for those who want to leave should be allowed to do so peacefully. It is foolhardy, in my view, to continue in this dangerous contraption anymore.
Segun Ogungbemi.
