Does anyone remember Chief Emeka Anyaoku? Oh yes, he is the Former Secretary General of the Commonwealth of Nations and a Nigerian. Is it not a wonder how we produce excellent administrators for the world bodies and institutions but fail to get such people to rule our own nation? Is it not a serious matter to ponder about that Nigerians excell all over the world but when it comes to issues at home, we end up with people who claim to be leaders but who run the country aground? Why do we have people who are elected into leadership levels all over the world but at home we have the “VERY WORST LEADERS” heading virtually every area of our economy? A serious nation will take time out and ponder over such serious issues instead of clamping down on the same voices that are trying to correct these anomalies.

Having said all that let’s examine what Chief Emeka Anyaoku had to say recently about what is happening in his country of birth as presented below.
Former Secretary General of the Commonwealth of Nations, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, yesterday said Nigeria was failing and warned that the country’s federal structure as currently composed would not help Nigeria to attain nationhood.
The former diplomat, therefore, joined many other Nigerians clamouring for the restructuring of the country along a more flexible fiscal federal state that would replace the present federal structure, which retains more power and resources at the centre.
Speaking in Abuja during the launch of a book, ‘Nigeria: The Forsaken Road to Nationhood and Development’ by Ambassador Humphrey Orjiakor, he argued that for Nigeria to develop and stay united, the country must be restructured.

Anyaoku said because of the dominance of the centre over the constituent states, the country was fast failing to meet the expectations of its founding fathers and admonished those opposed to restructuring to have a rethink.

He said: “I think that the Nigeria we have with 36 federating units now is not working. The country continues to under-perform because of the 36 states we have now. No less than 27 of them can no longer pay the salaries of their workers.
“The planning of economic development is less efficient on the basis of these non-viable states.
If we had six federating units, you would have more viable basis for planning economic development and those who fear that it would mean disintegration of the country are wrong, because the country was doing a lot better at the time of its independence.”
