seguno2: @bolded So that a Yoruba can become at least acting president with presidency in sight rather than face political annihilation/extinction in the hands of GEJ, to the detriment and chagrin of the real slaves, the flatiyeasterners . Makes a whole lot of sense. Kudos to Tinubu. 2 Likes |

ModsWillKillNL: Is Obasanjo equal to the Yorubas? Was he not rejected at the polls in 1999 by the Yorubas? Was he and his daughter not rejected by the Yorubas in 2007? So what are you saying? Stop talking like a confused person, abeg! 3 Likes |

ModsWillKillNL: The constitution is clearly not set up for any part of the country to be politically annihilated except for greedy thieves who cry marginalisation because they cannot steal to their heart's desire while pretending to represent their tribe! 3 Likes 1 Share |

mr1759:There are many options. We have PH, Benin, Calabar, Uyo, Yenagoa, Asaba, Warri. But to me the best would be Calabar. It was the first Capital City of Nigeria. Or Uyo. Calabar would be the least controversial. It is a relatively neat city, not too big, Calabar people are not overly influential to use it to dominate regional politics. Uyo is very modern too and fairly neutral as an option. PH should concentrate on business, financial services & oil industry HQ matters. Benin would not be accepted as a core SS city, although its long history would have be a good reason. Asaba would be considered an Igbo town and many would oppose it. Although I can see Ijaw also opposing Calabar. |

kingzizzy: Having states and regions should not automatically equate to having more and more layers of governance. Everything doesn't need to have a replica of the other. I'd recommend we abolish state houses of assembly and replace them with regional houses, but we should have state executives headed by governors. Having regions and scrapping states would leave us with the same old problem of over centralization. Also, this idea of sticking to what was in the past is the problem with the African mindset. Who says we cant create something new that would work in this era. True, states were a creation of the military, that doesn't mean it should be discarded just because! We should seek a model that would take us into the future, not just something that was in the past. My best bet would be like this: The 6 regions and 36 states are the best geographical composition we can have in Nigeria today. So we should maintain that. I would have recommended an additional state in the South East to match up with the rest but I think that should be up to the south east to decide. But the landmass is small. If the entire South East were a state, it would be the 14th largest state in Nigeria meaning there are currently 13 states in Nigeria bigger than the 5 states of the South East combined. But then again, Lagos as small as it is stays bigger in GDP than the least 25 states combined. I would recommend an executive President in Abuja to manage the country. I would recommend six regional heads to serve as executives for the regions. The state governors should be retained but state houses of assembly should be eradicated and replaced with regional houses. Executives are responsible for development so we an have different layers for that as that requires everyday work. Lawmakers just make laws and sincerely their services are not needed daily We need to come up with new solutions as deliberate extensively to see which would work out best. And es, if it doesn't work after trying it, we discard it and try something else! 3 Likes 1 Share |

seguno2: Did obasanjo ever in his life support restructuring? Was obasanjo ever in nadeco or afenifere? Why do u think Yorubas all voted olu falae in 1999? You need to stop mixing issues, Yoruba might respect obasanjo now over the years but that doesn't mean they don't know where he stands concerning the issues. Obasanjo believes in a unitary Nigeria and says it proudly. Everyone also knows where tinubu stands. He supports regional restructuring. You don't achieve things by force. Atiku is an active APC member. He is obviously convinced. Allow him preach the gospel to his people till they get it in their skulls. By the time a restructuring bill goes to the Senate, at least the southwest, southsouth and some parts of the north will vote "yea". The problem is you igbos live in lala land. U think seccession is easy? You don't even have any plan, just dreams. U guys better start using ur heads. Regionalism helps u build an administration and important institutions. Seccession is suicide. 1 Like 1 Share |

nkemjacob2:You know he had a very rocky relationship with OBJ. Atiku wanted the ticket in 2003. Although OBJ persuaded him, actually begged Atiku. Because OBJ wasn't even sure of SW support then. But OBJ pretended just to win the ticket and election. But Atiku was automatically a traitor and sworn enemy in OBJ's eyes after that. OBJ rendered him irrelevant after 2003 election. We can never be sure what he suggested or did not suggest to OBJ earlier. His idea will not win him supporters in the North &b he knows that. But it is the best idea to restructure Nigeria since 1966. Only problem is you cannot trust our politicians once they gain power. Much less a very corrupt guy like Atiku. |

gberra: Which one is unity begger? You are the person already begging for unity with 'SS'. Its laughable how someone can bring more than 40 tribes together and call them 'SS' or Niger Delta, what is that one supposed to mean? A refendum has to be used to ask the various tribes which Region they want to belong to, not snatch peoples lands in the name of 'South South' that is not even recognised by the constitution. 2 Likes |

Atiku has the accurate perspective, and I can vote for him based on the fact that he is able to say this out and he actually sounds Presidential in every sense of the word, every letter of the alphabets and every conspiracy in the propaganda. If Aso Rock is his desire, then his words have changed my perception of him but his action is what will cement his name on the sands of time on this planet of the Sun. 1 Like |

I think the most oppressed region in Nigeria is the north central. They don't seem to have a voice cos they are so diverse and have no resource giving them any economic power. I just hope the northeast and northwest don't try to kolobi their land. They need strong leaders. 1 Like |

Billyonaire: Forget these politicians sir. I just checked APC manifesto and I have been laughing since then. when he gets there, he will do a swift u-turn. Why campaign to become the president of Nigeria and reduce your presidential powers for the benefit of Nigeria as a nation? I don't think Atiku is selfless. Man is selfish. |
