I really wish one Nigerian governor could introduce some of the 1871 Paris Commune Principles into his state for just a year

Ayo Akinfe 

[1] There was a complete separation between the church and the state. Religion played no role in governance whatsoever 
[2] There was an abolition of child labour and night work in bakeries across Paris 
[3] The state granted pensions to the unmarried companions and children of national guardsmen killed in active service
[4] There was the free return by pawnshops of all workmen's tools and household items, valued up to 20 francs, pledged during the siege of Paris 
[5] There was a postponement of commercial debt obligations and the abolition of interest on all debts
[6] The government introduced the right of employees to take over and run an enterprise if it were deserted by its owner. However, the Commune, nonetheless, recognised the previous owner's right to compensation
[7] There was a prohibition of fines imposed by employers on their workmen
[8] Under the separation of the church from the state, all church property became public property. In addition, the commune excluded the practice of religion in schools
[9] In theory, churches were allowed to continue their religious activity only if they kept their doors open for public political meetings during the evenings
[10] Numerous organisations were set up to meet social needs, such as canteens and first-aid stations
