Country men & Women:

The main lesson and possibly "ISSUE" here is our collective failure to upheld
our laws beyond "personalities" and "institutions"

When laws are broken in the streets, we send authorities after perpetrators, prosecute them according to the laws of our land but when "institutions" err
we turn our backs and let go of the legal steps necessary to correct things.

The army as a whole [institution] must be subjected to legal redress. It is still not too late to call the institution to order. The sooner we tackle this
reoccurring power crisis the better for the country. Today, we are foolishly
still following a "kitchen" table constitution drafted by General Abubakar & co.

Because we fail to address such errors, we continue to suffer lopesided judgement and other matters of grieve consequences. People like IBB take advantage of such lapses, inflict damage on fellow citizens and get away with crime. Saro-Wiwa, Abiola & his wife, Rewane, Dele Giwa, etc. all suffered
such fate because we fail to enact and defend genuine national laws to protect ourselves.

If laws do not wall a leader, he/she will become power drunk and use the position to revenge old scores with true and 'percieved' enemies. We owe ourselves the duty to make a clear separation between self-interest and our national interests.

Because we failed to do that, today; we cannot hold a true national census, or hold a true and fair election, or throw all treasury looters to jail.

We FAILED ourselves as a people!
