The Senate Committee on the review of Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution has presented its report to lawmakers at the Upper Chamber.
The report was presented by the Committee Chairman, who is also Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu at Thursday’s plenary.
In a Twitter post, the Upper House said: “The development is in line with the Senate’s commitment to updating the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.
Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki commended the committee for its work and noted that the Senate would begin consideration of the report on Tuesday, July 25. (Channelstv)
Personally I do not see any thing good in that exercise in the face of inability to define what Nigerians meant by ‘Constitution’ and how it relates to ones faith thinking action. General Babangida had done something remarkable by stopping or dissolving that committee during his tenure. I supported his decision for there is right to practice whatever atrocity a Nigerian feels irrespective of the interest of others on security peace progress prosperity and all that is appeasing to the eyes and mind. He did not support that bt since that is what Nigerians desire he cannot support them. In other words Nigerians think that they can survive live be productive progress without sensory organs. Why not? Our president is sick and the country is still going on.
The best approach is to ban open public preaching of Spirituality but to encourage personal in house efforts to understand and practice it. I believe that open preaching on Spirituality is responsible to our backwardness hate and criminality. If a dirty and filthy environment is abhorrent to the eye and a stinking and foul smelling air to the breath, what do you think is the reaction of the Lord on people disobeying Him openly. I will here refer Nigerians to the Commentary of Reverend Matthew Henry,Genesis chapter 6. What is the disadvantage then if Nigeria is made a Genesisian State?
