HIGHLIGHT OF THE PAPER:

▫️The Christmas Day strike by USA against terrorist locations in Nigeria highlights the persistent failure of Nigeria’s security and political architecture to decisively end violent extremism within its borders.
▫️Military force alone cannot secure lasting peace. The sponsors and promoters of terrorism in the country must be arrested and prosecuted.
▫️The attempts at turning Nigeria into a one-party state is an ancient conspiracy started by Lugard in 1903. Its aim is to strengthen neo-colonialism in Nigeria.
▫️All Nigerians should use their votes to reject a one-party state. It is an ill wind that will not blow Nigeria any good.
▫️National Assembly confirmed that the new tax laws earlier gazetted was forged and ordered an immediate re-gazette.
▫️The new tax laws should be suspended and taken back to the drawing board.
▫️The dual conflicting ideologies of Democracy and Sharia, coupled with a constitution that is a mutation of a military decree are the key factors threatening the structural stability of Nigeria.
▫️The structural crisis should be resolved with a conference of ethnic nationalities to re-negotiate Nigeria and produce a constitution of the people by the people with Democracy as the only national ideology for a multicultural, multiethnic, and multireligious society.
