[@linusnwachukwu5163]

Very well spoken and articulated speech by Chief Dele Momodu. I am somewhat disappointed that Dr. Abbate called the speech as that of an opposition rather than that of a TRUE patriotic Nigeria. Everything Chief Dele said were facts regardless of his political affiliation.

[@TayoYessuff]

What will you say brids of the same feathers. Can anything good come out of that mouth of yours?

Of course Dr Abati was right. Dele Momodu couldnt tell Atiku the truth about respecting zoning system.

Do not blame the people. Blame the INEC. Period. People vote correctly but INEC does the riggings and the selections.

[@samuelogugua2103]

Rueben Abbatti called Atiku’s legal case against Tinubu’s fake certificate a ‘fishing expedition’ what an irony! When the legal cost of this case becomes public, Nigeria’s will know that journalism in Nigeria is a pathetic waste. It’s only in Nigeria judges, journalists, police and all security formations defends criminal acts and with a straight face. Very sad!

[@Tudero_jay]

Shut up, dr abati isn’t your problem. If he supports tinubu, what’s the essence of inviting Dele? Questions comes in different forms, have sense.

[@poshncool8879]

​@Tudero_jay This is not a polite response to a comment. There are better ways of doing this. Two wrongs cannot make a right. Everyone's view is personal - some of us watch Abati daily and may be tempted to see alot of bias in his comments lately. It could also be that he is playing the devil's advocate in this interview. Whichever way, we should respect the fact that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Actually Nigerians did not celebrate 63 years of anything positive for our sovereign nation but celebrated survival despite the rot that characterises our sovereign nation. A shame we couldn't march forward for 63 years.

[@kehindejosephkashimawo9410]

The problem with many of us on panels of discussion is failure to address the fundamental issue about Nigeria.. First of all, the amalgamation of Nigeria by the British was an aberration. Be that as it may, the British carried out Constitutional reforms that culminated in the 1960 Independent Constitution. Now some people carried out a bloody military coup that disrupted the Federal system that we had between 1960 and 1966.. That was the time that component States were empowered to enable competitive development. Since then we have had the military version of Federalism, commander-in-,Chief wherein the component nation States have been emasculated under a unitary regime. That was what informed the 1979 Constitution and others that followed up to 1999 Constitution imposed by the military by Decree.. We have never carried out the necessary Constitutional reforms that are self-determined by the component nation-states in Nigeria in all ramifications including our several identities.. Délé Momodu had just spoken like a typical Nigerian politician who hasn't shown any difference from those being condemned or given plaudits.. We are indeed under the military neo-colonial era that Chief Momodu failed to acknowledge. By the way I am 57 and I'm not one of the young generations of this era.

[@solaogundeyi3567]

The problem Nigeria needs to overcome is both leadership and followers who are entrenched in corrupt activities who live a large life based on corruption.

[@adetunde6652]

The fraud, corrupt military-imposed 1999 Constitution is a foundation al problem that produce these bad Leadership; and bad governance !!

[@chimikinnocent4527]

You are correct. But when the leadership and leading with example. The fellowaship will behave. Again when you are hungry the smell of negbour soup will entice you. Because the followers are very very hungry they can accept anything to eat food. Again by the grace of God my mother can not go and line up to share 2 cups of rice and 500 naira. Those woman are the mothers of people. Imagine the children of those woman getting offer by a politician to carry ballot box. He will gladly do just to get chom chom money. How you see people who use to buy fuel 280 before election ,now buying fuel 600 after election. They are telling you this government will favour me. Imagine that follower who already lost his or her sanity not know left from right anymore na hunger

[@frankoboh8217]

From the way democracy is being practiced in virtually all African countries, it is very safe to conclude that we have never been practicing the USA's or Europe's type of democracy. It is also safe to conclude that the military, apart from their failure to be able to govern a country, has played a major role in ensuring that they allow themselves to be used by civilian governments in Africa to not only oppress and suppress their citizens but also ensure that development and growth are thwarted as a result. Military rulership is dictatorial by nature, and we know they cannot govern the affairs of a nation economically, politically, or otherwise because they do not have the wherewithal to do so. But we know they can govern their affairs perfectly with their code of conduct, discipline, and chain of command structure. We can also say that when a typical African is given absolute power, for psychological reasons, he becomes corrupted and his mentality changes to that of a god. He becomes a tyrant, an oppressor, and a suppressor of the people he was given power to govern. So, how do we overcome this evil that has plagued the African continent for so long? Please join the advocacy and push for a #Civitary system of government. A new democratic ideology best suited for the speedy development and growth of African countries. When absolute power and command are limited in a civilian government, good governance, the rule of law, and the voice of the people become loud and clear. With specific emphasis on Nigeria, below is the definition and 5 of the 14 preliminary frameworks on which the scope of this new democratic ideology can be expanded. #CIVITARISM or #CIVITARY is a system of government or a type of democracy whereby a country's Armed Forces are completely independent of the control and command of the civilian government and have the explicit function of monitoring and supervising the activities of the government to ensure they work according to the provisions of the constitution, deliver good governance, and provide genuine dividends of democracy to its citizens. This democratic system is characterized by four (4) arms of government: the Legislature, Executive, Judiciary, and Armed Forces. (1) In this CIVITARIST/CIVITARIC system of democracy, all other security institutions and agencies (Police, DSS, NSCDC, EFCC, NDLEA, etc.) shall be integrated as divisions or departments under the control and command of the military leadership, headed by the country's Chief of Defense Staff (CDS). This is to ensure synchronized collaboration between all units in the nation's security architecture for the enforcement of the rule of law, protection of lives and properties as well as the defense of the internal and sovereign integrity of the country. The Armed Forces shall be independent but continue to maintain their constitutional obligation of providing security to the civilian government. They shall also maintain a neutral and mediatory function in the resolution of policy disagreements between the civilian government and the citizens for the healthy furtherance of good and inclusive governance. (2) In this CIVITARIST/CIVITARIC system of democracy, parallel to the civilian government, the Armed Forces shall function like government of their own in the running of their affairs. With support from the private sector, they shall establish and have their own Schools, Universities, Training Centers, Banks, Hospitals, Judges/Justices, Lawyers, Doctors, Nurses, Engineers, Scientists, Inventors, Research Centres, Science and Technology Institutions, Military Gadgets and Equipment Manufacturing, Sport Teams, etc. across the country. The Armed Forces shall open the doors for the recruitment of non-combatant private sector professionals, specialists, and experts in the establishment of the new military reset and focus. (3) In this CIVITARIST/CIVITARIC system of democracy, through an integrated computerized record-keeping system, there shall be FREE EDUCATION for the children of all personnel of all security institutions and divisions or departments of the Armed Forces, from nursery to university level. This shall serve as part of a broader morale-boosting mechanism to enable them to breathe and dedicate their focus and commitment to protecting lives and properties, as well as the internal and territorial sovereignty of the country, without excess family or financial burden. (4) In this CIVITARIST/CIVITARIC system of democracy, the presidency, through the drawing of straws or any other means, shall be rotated among the six (6) geopolitical zones every eight (8) years (two terms). A presidential candidate shall choose his vice presidential candidate from the geopolitical zone in line for the next presidency in case his vice presidential candidate decides to run for the office of president. This shall be the mandatory pattern until each geopolitical zone has produced a president and vice president, and this shall continue until every state in the federation, including the FCT, has produced a president and vice president. It will take a cycle of forty-eight (48) years for the presidency and vice presidency to go round the six (6) geopolitical zones and a cycle of two hundred and ninety-six (296) years for the presidency and vice presidency to go round all thirty-six (36) states of the federation and the FCT. (5) In this CIVITARIST/CIVITARIC system of democracy, the geopolitical zones that will produce a president and vice president shall only have aspirants from those zones, and the rest of the country shall vote for the president and vice president of their choice. This rotation of the presidency shall be a true representation of our oneness, equity, fairness, and equal rights, both as a people and as a nation.
