true picture of the interest of each state through their representatives in the various House of Assembly of sates. And it will cost almost nothing because no additional money may be spent on the legislators whose duties it is to amend the Nigerian Constitution as provided in section 9(1) CFRN 1999, which states that The National Assembly may, subject to the provisions of this section, alter any of the provisions of this Constitution. And so until the 1960 Constitution, I strongly believe that the 1999 Constitutions of Federal Republic of Nigeria is autochthonous because there were conferences held by Nigerians that argued what should be put in the constitution and what should not, and all these inputs are reproduced in the 1963 Constitutional Conference, which was the only conference that was summoned by a civilian government in Nigeria and subsequently, the inputs in the 1963 Constitution were also noticeable in 1999 Constitution.The 1979 and 1999 constitutional conferences were the only conferences that were summoned by military governments in power. The 1999 constitution has virtually everything that was contained in the previous constitutions, except that 1979 Constitution made all laws relating to taxation to come under Federal jurisdiction and with some major additions. On October 6, 1977 the federal military government made steps towards transition to democratically elected government when it constituted an enlarged Constituted Assembly composed of 230 members drawn from all part of the federation. Section 140(1) CFRN 1979 provided for a Federal Electoral Commission whose function was to divide the country into electoral constituencies both state and federal, on the basis of 1963 population and supervise all elections. Section 149(3) and section 14(4) of 1979 constitution provides for parties forming their government and to tackle the problem of suspicions and fear of ethnic domination of government and public service by a particular geo-political group. After going through the 1979 Constitution, I am now of the opinion that the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 is not autochthonous because the radical and major changes or inputs in the constitution was made after the 1979 Constitutional Conference and it was summoned by the military government. Even when the civilians were called to draft the constitution, the content of the final document was influenced by the interest of the military government in power. Take for instance section 6 CFRN 1999, which is that the power of establishing inferior courts is vested on the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly. And what does the law establishing customary court in Rivers State say on the appointment of the chairman of a customary. It states that a customary court shall consist of a chairman and two other members all of whom shall be appointed on full time bases by the Military Governor acting on the recommendation of the Adversary Judicial Committee. And section 5 of the same Edict No. 8 of 1987, states that A person holding office as a Chairman or a member of the Customary Court shall be remove from office by the Military Administrator acting on the Advice of the Advisory
