My Political Ideology for G.A.R.G 

1. ZERO PARTY SYSTEM    555695352da5a1a6dace6709485709684e5d5e40c12ce0106a4ad651f7a47d39.jpg

political party as an institution has been used to foundationalize corruption and I believe for a better country, Nigeria need as a matter of urgency a departure from norm (doing things differently as against doing things same way expecting different results is insanity ) my recent experience in ASRA is the validation. 

UAE is ample example of modern day successful nation/empire without the cost and disadvantages that comes with party system.

 

2. CONFEDERACY

Nigeria should change to the union of people who are patriotic to something they love, care and can sacrifice for. If Nigerians do not know the worth of the nation, patriotism is a mirage. Give them the opportunity to understand what they stand to lose if Nigeria crumble. - Tridad needs Tobago, Tanganyika needs Zanzibar to form Tanzania etc. When each learnt they will appreciate the 

 

3. SELF DETERMINATION OR IDENTITY FOR ALL NATIONALS

the absence of self-determination in Nigeria is the root of many problems bedevilling the country. The world went to war in the 1940s just to show the height of it's importance to human existence. I believe when we let the different ethnic nationals genuinely identify with its own Nigeria shall be more stable, peaceful and prosperous than ever.

 

4. LOYALTY TO THE UNION   

we shall engender the spirit of nationalism the kind those who fought and gained our independence had devoid of selfish interests. True nationalism has no limit to the sacrifice a staunch believer has for his nation. Nationalism shall be the spur of this loyalty. With such love, dedication and commitment the results is limitless eg decimated Germany come back stronger when loyalty to the nation was rekindled. Russia regain her status under leaders who's loyalty to the cause is unwavering.  “Loyalty isn’t gray. It’s black and white. You’re either loyal completely, or not loyal at all.” — Sharnay

 

5. INTEGRITY AS CORE VALUE  325e665560b4d0c3b0e20ce259c0bf155fb24664b9fedd045f9e579f8737baa1.jpg

this value is key to any institution organization or individual who must be respected and followed. Therefore, we pledge to be honest, firm and just to gain and maintain the trust of the people and lead others to ways to be men and women of integrity.

 

6. TRUE DEMOCRACY

this form of government has proven to stand the test of time. But not without flaws when it is devoid of its TRUENESS. Therefore, we shall pursue the path of True Democracy one which completely guarantees all the principles are upheld and defended. We shall adopt the discipline in military system, take the privilege in monarchy, the unionism in parliamentary system and fuse them into one unique system that shall become a phenomenon.

 

7. FIVE YEARS SINGLE TERM

Four year tenure is enough for a dedicated president to make meaningful impact. Eight years two term is agonizing for a confused leader without honour or one who believed leadership is birthright. To mitigate another key problem area in Nigeria's politics I propose a five year single term and strongly promulgate RECALL as term/condition of public office holder who has fallen short of the people's expectations to be removed from office through due process.

 

8. RIGHT OF SECESSION³

we shall be liberal on this right based on the standpoint on item three above. As the saying goes. You don't know what you have until it's gone. Let the people have their full rights to choose what association or union they want to identify with. When they have tasted the two worlds they shall know better. (Freedom of choice without clause)

 

9. POLITICS AS PART TIME BUSINESS  22add140c17ab8000445825f7a45b62fb98eabe494438993d254c2add9c8b627.jpg

I do not believe in full time politician it encourages laziness, touting, thuggery, godfatherism, the drive to be dishonest. When politics is your sole means of livelihood you can kill for sustenance (survival instinct activation) At all levels and organs of government politics should be for those who are qualified, professionals, plenipotentiaries not garage boys who had made riches through crime/ croaked means then fall back to politics to legalize their ill-gotten riches. This shall sanitize our polity at least fifty percent.

 

10. THE ENTITY

Nigeria was bequeathed to us. I /we have to make the most of it. East or West home is best. 

We must protect her from all forces of domination and encroachment. Many superpowers seek expansion now more than ever.
