danielkanu2019:That is the problem. If igbos are united, there is nothing that can stop us from achieving our goals. We are too aggressive ,too ubiquitous , to be stopped if we are united. We are everywhere in the high and low places . The only thing remaining is unity to maximise the advantage , just like the Zionists utilise their ubiquitousness to advance their global cause. 2 Likes |

As the picture below shows, the six geopolitical zones need to become six authonomous regions, with an elected government. Other reforms can be in the following forms; A suggestion on how restructure can be; 1. Recognise the six geopolitical zones as federating units and let INEC conduct elections to elect their governors. Name the SE zone as Biafra state, SW as Odu'a state, SS as Niger Delta state, NC as Middle Belt state, NW as Arewa state, NE as Kanuri state. 2. The current 36 states will become metropolitan areas and the current 36 governors will become Mayors. Scrap entirely the current 774 LGA arrangment. The current LGA chairmen will go to the new six state assemblies as legislators. The councilors will be dissmissed. 3. Return Ilorin and Kabba to Odu'a state. Asaba, and other Igboid part of SS should be conceeded to Biafra (to quell unnessesary agitation). Ijaw part of Ondo should return to Niger Delta state. The fulani part of Kwara and Niger go to Arewa state. Nasarawa should go to Kanuri state. The Christian part of Taraba goes to Middle Belt state. 4. The offshore oil belongs to us, therefore we must share. The 36 Metros should still get what they are currently getting, while the new six states should now get what the LGA where getting before. So a state will get only the amount that would have accrued to the LGA it had before. The oil fields found inland should however be ceded to host communities. The assets of NNPC and NLNG should still belong to FG but must be treated as a private company when minning oil found inland. 5. Some NPF police officers should be transfered to state service as state police. Same should be with some prison wardens as state prison officers. Many of items on exclusive list (such as energy and power generation) should be moved to concurrent list to allow states participate. Only defence, foreign affairs and currency operations should be exclusive. Because of this, the oil revenue share retained by the FG will decrease to give more to the 6 states and 36 metros. 6. Increase the number of senator to 115. The extra 6 should be one first class king from each of the 6 states. Such as the sultan, ooni, obi, oba of benin etc. The new 6 states should have houses of chiefs to be made up of the remaining top monarchs in the zone. Any monarch not included should be considered irrelevant and derobed. The office of the Senate President and his deputy should be discontinued. Let the Vice President double as Senate President while the majority leader acts as his deputy. 7. Some LGA Civil Servants should be absorbed by the new states, the rest should be dissmissed. Federal roads should also become State responsibility, while airports, Seaports and railway should remain with FG. All seaports should have equal status. By this, agitations will reduce grossly to give government at each level chance to do its job. Also the unaccounted waste by the current 774 LGAs will stop. The FG by this arrangement sheds power, but not enough to make it irrelevant. Also traditional rulers start actually working for the Nation to compensate for the millions they cost us. By this also Biafra would have been given to my Igbo people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW. 3 Likes 1 Share

Bede2u: You have just made a remarkable input to the debate on restructuring. Not that I agree with everything you've said but I recognise that it is submissions like this online or offline that can lead to consensus. Igbos should debate more, always striving to make worthy submissions. |

it's a summit organised by ohanaeze ndigbo to discuss the faith of the southeast in the restructuring of the country(not for the whole country as reported by the op) |
Re: Restructuring: Politicians Gather In Awka To Discuss The Future Of Nigeria (Pic) by gidgiddy: 4:29pm On May 21, 2018 |
Bede2u: The 36 states cannot be the federating units of Nigeria, the 36 of them were created by the military. If it is agreed that there will be 3 Regions in the North and South, they must be decided by referendum. The reason for this is that the Yorubas of Lead a might want to join their kit and kin in the South, the Igbo speaking people in Delta and Rivers state might prefare to join their kin in the Igbo Region as well as the Igbos of Benue. The Ijaws of Ondo might prefare to be in the Niger Delta Region and so on and so forth. However, more important than all this is that if there are to be autonomous Regions, the constitution has to be changed. For the constitution to be changed, a 2 thirds majority vote is needed in the national assembly With core North(NW&NE) controlling about 40% of the National Assembly, and have vowed not to allow restructuring, how will restructuring ever be achieved? Restructuring is waste of time in Nigeria, the core North are against it. 1 Like |
