A New Political Reform Idea
Quotes:
“As dust outlasts iron, so Israel shall out last her oppressors. Some day our messiah will come, and once again we shall have a nation. Then we shall be truly free.”
- Bodie Thoene “The Gates of Zion”
“There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world; and that is an idea whose time has come.” - Anon
“The greatest risk is not taking one” - Anon
“… If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.” - Esther 6:13b
“I am not sure it collapsed because of its nature but rather was overtaken by modernity and interruption of our colonial masters.”
- Bishop Ibrahim Sangari, on the collapse of Kwararafa Kingdom.



“As a result of our activities Sir Ahmadu Bello, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa and the other northern emirs asked us to suspend the Kwararafa congress issue to a later time i.e to keep it in abeyance and raise it at a subsequent time later. For the meantime let us join hands to struggle for self-defence from the southern domination. At that time the south was rushing to get independence from the British people… They asked us to please suspend our separate organisation and come together to fight collectively for northern people. They also gave us some concessions i.e that members of Kwararafa will fully participate in governance of the north. Aku Uka was automatically made a cabinet minister in the northern government. Peter Achumugu (Ida) was a minister so was Michael Audu Buba (Plateau), Abutu Bepa (Idoma) and J.C Obande, Late Mal. Tanko Jolly and myself were Parliamentary secretaries. In fact at that time the north was actually ruled by Kwararafa and Fulani. The Kwararafa stock is to be feard because of its historical background and also because of its experience in democratic administration, we are more civilized culturally and more civilized in administration”
- Bishop Ibrahim Sangari, The Atoshi of Kwararafa. In an interview with “Relics of Kwararafa.”
I didn’t just want to bore you with this quote. I want to write on a new political idea that is not really new but a continuation from where the KC(Kwararafa Congress) ideology stopped.
The need for a shift in paradigm is needed, now that I believe the time has finally come for us to finally cap up their idea with a very beautiful icing.
Before bad leaders “throw this country inside well” we have a mandate by God to restore her dignity considering the fact that Kwararafa Empire didn’t really die but shrunk into a petty state. The little smoking flask can still be revived.
The idea I am suggesting is purely my idea which can be criticized and corrected.
• The throne of His Royal Majesty, Dr. Shekarau A. Masa Ibi Kuvyon (II) should be elevated to that of a Parliamentary President of the Kwararafa Empire officially called Nigeria, operating or functioning as the Monarch like Her Majesty the Queen of England.
• Secondly, a Prince should be appointed from the dynasty of the Hwaye (Kwanseh) to assist in the administrative work. Such as the way it worked in the life and times of past Kwanseh and more visible with late Manu Agyo-Likita. While His Majesty’s office is De-Jure, the Prince’s office will be de-facto. The Hwanye Dynasty had played a very important role in the existence of the great Kwararafa Empire (Kingdom).
Casting our minds backward we find out that Manu Agyo Likita’s Father was a traditional Title Holder. Agyo-Likita worked with missionaries and with the Native Authority, which gave him the priviledge and honour of serving as an intermediary of some sort between the people and missionaries on one hand and between the colonial officers and the traditional authority on the other hand.
He built rental houses, organised local bank called Bam or Adashi. He also organised adult education classes to teach people how to read and write in Hausa. He was a famous historian. All these activities and services to humanity during his life time endeared him to people of different races, tribe religions and social background. To all people in the former Wukari Federation and beyond, Agyo-Likita’s house was home for them and he was a father to all.
I believe he was a Prince of some sort working while the Aku Uka was still active as De-Jure.
Recognizing the Hwaye (Kwanseh) dynasty will boost the pursuit for a new political reform.
• The government of Kwararafa should be a secular, sovereign and constitutional Monarchy.
The idea of annexing Nigeria, will make us christen (Kwararafa) as New Jerusalem. should be revisited and Kwararafa kingdom (Empire) should be superimposed over Nigeria. We will not say that there is an independence per se but a resurfacing of a kingdom that has been kept in abeyance since pre-independence era.
In case you don’t know, it is recorded in the anals of Northern Nigerian history that no king or Emir wishes to see when the great kwararafa Empire will regain her latent power to rule and govern. The rise of kwararafa Empire will spell doom to other Nationalities because they envy our style of leadership.
I see with my prophetic insight that only the administrative structure of Kwararafa Empire will be able to govern all the 4 quarters of Jerusalem and the world at large. A very sophisticated region of the world. Her unique style of running a confederated state is second to none. While other nations want to govern 100% the Kwararafa leadership philosophy still grant autonomy, isn’t that wonderful?
History has shown that anytime Kwararafa Empire is at a threshold or facing a dearth a Hwaye (Kwanse) man surfaces to play a very important role. I know that these “little” people hold the key to the future of the kwararafa kingdom (Empire) I learnt they are also known as Kpanji (wise counsellors).
These Hwaye’s have been running away from responsibilities within the court of the king. I guess it is because of the price involved in decision making. No time Hwaye man wants power but when he is appointed whether by man or should I say the gods? He wields such a great authority to the extent that the Hwaye priest never meets face to face with the Aku Uka. This shows how powerful the Hwaye priest is in Api (The Kwararafa Empire).
It is actually a dreaded office. Whenever the Hwaye priest is to enter Wukari from Donga, since he was regarded as a divine being he was greeted by the tutelary deity known as Akuma, and escorted into the town with the same reverence as is shown to the king by all the tutelary gods. “It is no doubt” wrote C.K. Meek, “due to the recognition of a common share in divinity that the Jukun king may not meet certain Jukun priests face to face. Nevertheless the king was regarded as the supreme pontiff and priests within his dominions looked upon him both as their temporal and their spiritual superior.” Dr. Meek further added that “as far as can be gathered from the local traditions, these peoples at no time occupied a position of political subservience to the Jukun king of Wukari or Kwararafa. They regarded him as their spiritual chief and the head of all Jukun-speaking peoples.”
Unfortunately, no Hwaye alive will dare do that now because they all love their lives. A Hwaye alive will prefer to die with the solution of a whole generation than dare to officially occupy the vacant office that earned him the Kwanseh. This is due to the fact that occupying such an office comes along with it serious spiritual attacks, only “Real Men” can occupy it.
My suggestion is that if we are waiting for “Real Men” to occupy that position. The hope of a new or reformed Api (Kwararafa Empire) may never be a reality.
Since we are living in a changing world we will need to redefine some paradigm in order to give Api (Kwararafa Empire) a new marching order. Even OAU has reformed to AU. So also is UN.
The late Manu Agyo Likita tried his possible best to reform so many things and many others too that came later on the scene did same.
I make bold to say that:
I. A new constitution for kwararafa Empire should be penned down.
II. Indiginous languages should be included as official language. Some have been well scripted down already.
III. The former Wukari federation will mark the territory of our New Jerusalem headquarter and Monarchical capital as Jerusalem Annex.
IV. The Territory of governance shall consist of the 6 senatorial zones of Nigeria.
V. Coat of Arms remains.
VI. Flag Remains
VII. National Anthem remains
VIII. The head of State shall be the Monarch.
IX. The Executive power: The National Government shall be headed by a Prime Minister.
X. Legislative power should include the senate, right of the members of Parliament.
XI. It should include law-making process.
XII. Following the old paradigm of Api, the new Api will uphold christianity as the official Religion everyone has the right to choose and practice his or her religion, creed, conscience, faith, confession, and belief, with the exception of any form of satanic or devil worship.
XIII. Right to Assemble and associate.
XIV. Right to found political parties.
XV. Freedom of profession
XVI. Freedom of research, science and Teaching
XVII. Freedom of Procreation and child bearing
XVIII. Equality
XIX. Prohibition of Discrimination and priviledges
XX. Granting of Nobility
XXI. Right of protection
XXII. Welfare rights
XXIII. Procedural rights
XXIV. General provisions (Admissible and special restrictions)
XXV. Duties (General duties, civil service)
XXVI. Burdens (taxation, mandatory insurance)
XXVII. State monopolies
XXVIII. Forfeiture of fundamental rights
XXIX. State organisation
XXX. state objective
XXXI. state defination
These are the kinds of texts that should be covered in such a constitution.
If you have been following my line of thoght in the previous editions you will understand what the content of the quote below means:
“… Christian Quarter. This place, too, was a minor political battle ground; each of the christian sects and nationalties argued over whose ground was the most sacred which was the proper mode of worship. Each claimed to have cornered the market on truth and righteousness and God. Ellie paused to stare up the street as a procession of incense-bearing priests passed by. To her left rose the towers of the church of the Holy sepulcher where Jesus was said to have died. Ellie wondered what He would have said if He could see Jerusalem now splintered into a hundred fragments, each block was a deadly time bomb of self-righteousness. And where is God in all this? Ellie wondered. If He was ever really here, she decided, surely He has given up on this contention and moved His headquarters somewhere else.”
Think about that! Even the executive president of our Great Country, Nigeria has this to say for your diet, “Everyone has a role to play. If everyone plays it well, Nigeria will be great again and soon. In my dreams I see a new Nigeria in the Hands of God. As I traverse all parts of Nigeria I feel a new Nigeria emerging.” As an excerpt from the forward written for NEEDS project book.
Many people have pointed their prophetic fingers to the North East as the possible solution of our political malady.
Geographically, when we move west ward we loss time but when we move eastward we gain time, favour and direction.
May God give us courage to change what we can change and wisom to know the difference.

What manner of Prime Minister do we need when we set up a parliamentary system of Government
“If there is truly to be a nation of Israel,” Moshe thought, “Surely this will be its Prime Minister. The old Man’s door was never closed, nor was his heart.”
- The gates of Zion, by Bodie Thoene.
“History surely will favour this nation; because I am going to write it.”
- Winston Churchill-British Prime Minister, 1940-1945, 1951-1955

“If he is not the most powerful man in Israel today, he is second only to Prime Minister Menachem Begin. Sharon covets Begin’s job. Arik (Sharon) will do everything and I mean everything, to get the Prime Minister’s Post.” – William E. Smith, Time Magazine 1982 when Ariel Sharon was Defence Minister.


The task of a Prime minister in a parliamentary system of Government is an enviable one. A very sensitive position indeed.
I don’t want of burden us with all those definition of this system of government. This is not a lecture but a discuss. So I expect you to do that on your own in case you don’t know.
1) I want you to take my discuss as far back as when Joseph was appointed to assist in running of the Kingdom of Egypt.
“The King said to Joseph, God has shown you all this, so it is obvious that you have greater wisdom and insight than anyone else. I will put you in charge of my country, and and all my people will obey your orders. Your authority will be second only to mine. I now appoint yu governor oover all Egypt. The King removed from his finger the ring engraved with the royal seal and put it on Joseph’s finger. He put a fine linen robe on him, and placed a gold chain round his neck… The king said to him, ‘I am the King – and no one in all Egypt shall so much as lift a hand or a foot without your permission…’ Joseph was 30years old when he bagan to serve the King of Egypt. He left the Kings court and travelled all over the land.” Genesis 42:39-46.
Joseph was successful: “there was so much corn that Joseph stopped measuring it – it was like the sand of the sea… people came to Egypt from all over the world to buy corn from Joseph, because the famine was severe everywhere.” Gen 41:4,57 we need a Prime Minister like Joseph who can ensure food security and attract world attention.
2) Let’s look at the case of Mordecai:
“Modecai had the letters written in the name of King Xerxes, and he stamped them with the royal seal… These letters explained that the king would allow the Jews in every city to organize themselves for self-defence… Mordecai left the Palace, wearing royal robes of blue and white, a cloak of fine purple linen, and a magnificient gold crown. Then the streets of Susa rang with cheers and joyful shouts.” Esther 8:10, 15.
Mordecai was successful: “King Xerxes imposed forced labour on the people of the coastal regions of his empire as well as on those of the interior. All the great and wonderfull things he did, as well as the whole story of how he promoted Mordecai to high office, are recorded in the official records of the kings of persia and media. Mordecai the Jew was second in rank only to King Xerxes himself. He was honoured and well liked by his fellow-Jews. He worked for the good of his people and for the security of all their descendents.”
We need a Prime Minister that will work for the good of his descendents.
3) Next person is Daniel:
“Then the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many grat gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.” Daniel 2:48.
The commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concernig him, that he should be the third ruler in the Kingdom. Dan.5: 29
“Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in the the earth; peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, that in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he his Kingdom that which shall not destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worked signs and wonders in heaven and earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the persian.” Dan. 6:25-28
* We need a Prime Minister whose God is a God of signs and wonders, we also saw that Daniel was successful in his administration under three different kings.
4) Nehemiah:
“The emperor asked, “ what is it that you want? I prayed to the God of Heaven, and then I said to the emperor. “ I f your majesty is pleased with me and is willing to grant my request, let me go to the land of judah, to the city where my ancestors are buried, so that I can rebuild the city… the emperor gave me all I asked for, because God was with me. The Emperor sent some army officers and a troop of horsemen with me…” Neh. 2:4, 5-9a.
We need a Prime Minister that has a burden for his people like Nehemiah was responsible for the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem in his time and was instrumental for return of the exiles.
His success story was that he defied Tobiah and Sanballat until he finished his work.
Recent Cases
1. Patrice Lumumba: A first Prime Minister of the Congo. He was instrumental in the fight for the independence of Congo from Belgians. He was charismatic, bold and diplomatic.
This young man had so many forces to fight against both within the seceding groups of the Congo, the Belgians and the west.
He was a promising young man, but forgot that as an eagle he was also suppose to have the qualities of an owl in order to learn how to watch his rear even when alone.
He was butchered due to his over confidence. He had enemies from every quarter. Yet he had the guts of entering their territory unprotected.
We need a Prime Minister who will be fearless as well as be wary and have hindsight. A man who can smell trouble from afar, very active. Highly independentt. A man with a wide and determinate sphere of influence/interest. Highly complex behaviour, who is also aware and in control of self.
2. Alhaji Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. He was the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the first indigenous government after independence.
He was born in 1912 to Alhaji Yakubu. He was not born of noble parents. He was born at Bauchi district of Gewawa with a people very backward in education.
His primary education in Bauchi fell between 1922 and 1928. Between 1928 and 1933 he attended Katsina Teacher’s Training College, from there he went to London University Institute of Education between 1945 and 1946.
He was a teacher in Bauchi Middle School and education assistant in Bauchi province. He was a member of the Northern Self-development Fund Committee and member of Bauchi Native Authority Council in 1946. In 1947 he became the Nigerian delegate to the African conference in London. In 1948 he became a Nigerian delegate to the common wealth parliamentry Association. In 1951 he was a Nigerian delegate to the Festival of Arts in Britain, in the same 1951 he was the deputy of Northern People’s congress. Between 1951 and 1954 he was the central minister of works and transport, and in 1955 he was member of the Governor General’s Privy Council.
From September 1959 to Dec. 1959 he became the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. And in the election of December 1959 he was re-elected as the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
He was known as the man with “the golden voice of Africa.” He gave many public speeches. Speeches like “meaning of independence” and “Liberty in Africa.”
The rigging of election in western Region and the riot and killing that ensued threw him off balance. He loved his friend Samuel Ladoke to a fault. He did not assess the seriousness of the affairs, instead he continued chairmaning the commonwealth conference in Lagos till the “khaki boys” took over the government in the early hours of 15th of January, 1966; Which was Led by Nzogwu snuffed life out of him.
His own flaw was that he was slow to take a fast action in the western riot. He did not respond with prompt action, which led to intervention by the khaki boys.
3. Rev. Dr. Abraham Kuyper (1837-1920): He achieved for the Netherlands what we’ve been discussing to the latter. He was a pastor, a theologian in the Calvinist tradition, a Christian philosopher, Christian politician, Christian educator. He even served as Prime Minister of his country.
His stimulation led to the establishment of a Christian educational system, a Full Fledged university, a Christian political party, a Christian press and led to the formation of a truly pluralistic state, in distinction from a secular one. It was one of his conscious aims to free the people from the common government, the state church and other forces. He placed such an imprint on his country that more than 70 years after his death one cannot write about his country without reference to Kuyper.
I end with this statement, saying that we need a Prime Minister that is relevant to his time.
