FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS

I want to take us back to the fundamental human rights of Nigerian citizens. The reason for this is to remind most of us that have deserted or forgotten these rights.
       According to chapter 4 of the 1999 Nigerian constitution, enumerates the following as fundamental Human rights:

*     Right to life
*     Right to dignity of human persons
*     Right to personal liberty
*     Right to fair hearing
*     Right to compensation of  absconded property compulsorily
*     Right to private and family life
*     Right to freedom of expression
*     Right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion
*     Right to freedom  from discrimination on the grounds of ethnic group, place of origin, circumstance of birth, sex, religion or political opinion
*     Right to self determination
*     Right to organize and bargain collectively
*     Right to peaceful assembly and association

90% of Nigerian citizens do not have the consciousness of these rights. Due to this fact, the executives (the arm forces, defence etc.) trample on these rights which are termed FUNDAMENTAL.

Therefore, it is highly recommendable that Nigerian citizens wake up to this fact and make judicious use of it, for a more convenient social interaction.
