donpope1: Op all your points are invalid if you ain't adding the definition of these two problematic factors in Naija PDP(Cankerworm) and APC(supporter of APC)

IGBOSON1: The number one reason we're still groping in the dark and yet to reach our full potential is due to the faulty federal structure we operate, and too much power residing with the central gov't! Once you free all the regions/states to be component units of a true federation (with all that entails), this country would then start operating like a well oiled machine.....for the first time since 1914!

Kanwulia: Religion is the root of all other evils!
It makes people think and act like AN-ENCEPHALITIC cows!

Aprime:

The same goes for Money. Some People would do anything for money and 72 virgins.

Remind me, who gave us centralised system of govt?

tit: The British are the only problem Nigeria is not working.
They cobbled up an unworkable contraption.
Just like they did with India. In India, the people quickly adjusted into India, pakistan and bangladesh(?).

But in Africa, all the European contraptions are still hobbled together.

lilprinze: the main thing that is hindering us from progressing in Nigeria is Corruption, until corruption is stopped we cannot make progress

IGBOSON1:

^^^Corruption is more of a symptom than a causal factor!

EdCure: The retrogressive PDP is the main problem Nigerian has. Remove pdp from power, and 92% of Nigeria's problems will be solved.

Kanwulia:

Just like some omini impotent ritualist GOD will sacrifice their only bastard son for salvation of FIRST-CLASS imbecAIls! a

When a mad goat would prolly have done the trick!

IGBOSON1:

^^^Quit being an idiat!

So Ironsi instituted centralised system of gov't after the first coup; care to tell me why it's been retained in one form or the other ever since? Of course you will always find a way to blame Ndigbo......the fact that we still don't have a proper federation 48 years after an Igbo man was last in power! Is there some immutable natural law of the universe that says Ironsis action cannot be reversed?

The fact of the matter is that the unitary system of gov't has been retained ever since because 1) it's given whoever is in control of the center, control over the nations vast resources; 2) it's given whoever is in control of the center the ability to hold other regions/ethnic grps back so they don't advance too far and leave less capable ones behind; 3) it's given certain groups/regions the chance to continue with their feeding bottle mentality and misplaced sense of entitlement; 4) and, it's prevented the legitimate claims of the owners of resources from being actualized!
