Nigeria is not a bank. 6 vice presidents will further increase the cost of governance, as each one of them will have to have fully furnished offices, official cars and personal staff.
And the current 4yr tenure is also good, so that whoever is not measuring up to standards can be voted out on time instead of having to endure 6 gruesome years.

Not only that...like ministers, some VPs will be greater than others.

How can you balance that?

Makes no sense and to think he is an intellectual. What about a region like the south south where there are over 40 ethnic groups? What are the chances of an Ibibio individual compared to Ijaw/Benin/Kalabari/Atam? Why did he not say each ethnic group should provide a vice president? And to think he studied abroad, one begins to wonder, what did he learn?, Apparently, he learnt nothing!

Watch his video speech, everything will be rotationally

OBJlive:
Five vice presidents for each zone without devolution of power is simply political cosmetic.

I don't know why ignorant nairalabders will be commenting without understanding or watching his speech

FulaniTerrorist:



Watch his video speech, everything will be rotationally

Also known as zoning. Still doesn't make sense. Zoning has never made any sense.

divineappo:
so, if the President dies, the 5 vice presidents will now raise an army and fight each other in order to become the President, thereby plundering Nigeria into a civil war.

6 yrs tenure is nonsense, 5 vice Presidents is bullshit

Soludo must be high on Oshogbo weed

Some pple just talk without using their brain.

You're an ignoramus, go watch the speech

Now I know that majority of Nigerians are damn ignorant

No body should mind or listing to these stupid, useless,hopeless and shameless, Ohaneze Ndi Igbo leaders that have made Igbo land uninhabitable to Umu Igbo. Every time and day,these criminals will find one political business topic to destabilize the country and deceive there subjects only to feed there endless tummies, If not marginalization business it will be called fcking dead Biafra business and when they fail them they go by restructure business. Its all just to keep on looking for avenues of getting money to continue, collecting village titles to suppress and humiliate the less advantaged around them and remain as emperors against there nearest neighbors, to the detriment of the future of the rest unborn umu Igbo. Nigeria is already on the move with the federal system no going back and as the day goes by, we will be getting it better.

When they were all enjoying the oil money with JONATHAN, this fools did not remember Biafra no did they remember Restructuring but immediately the fountain stopped flowing by there own stupid political calculation and the breast milk is off from there dirty mouths they start to cry marginalization as a known usual English word created by them since over 50yrs ago, that lead the civil war which they were even unable to stand and fight to finish. They all left the war and run away and the youths are suffering the consequences of there mistakes,stupidity and greed till today. Shameless people the same as there colleague Olsah Metu. If the police or Efcc arrest Housa criminal or Yoruba criminal Afenifere and Ariwa will allow the law to take it course, but if its there foolish member there shameless Ohaneze readership will speak in favor of crime. Disgracing the collective Integrity of genuine Ndi Igbo.

So what do you think

bobosydney:
Governance is not a bank that always thinking of profits and interest returns , but failed to look after the workers . You can't govern a country like the you operate the banks and I also disagree with 6 years term. It will make it hard to replace underperformance government.

The VPs will have the right to impeach any incompetent president. In this case,the VPs will be more powerful than the presido; he is just overseeing the government,but major decisions will be made with the consensus of the VPs. And no single VP will have any undue influence as he has only a single vote power,as a consensus must be reached by the entire VPs representing each regions. Each VP act as a check and balance of each other. At the regional level, governors of every state will constitute the regional government,with the VP from the region as a mere figurehead. The governors have the right to fire an incompetent VP. At the state level,local government chairmen control the LG. And they must have greater power to sack the state government for underperformance. Our government should be structured in a way that every unit is made to police the other. It is my opinion that absolute power should go from the people to the LG to State to Region to Central,and not the top to bottom that we have. It is my humble proposal that real governance and responsibilities start from the LG. They should have the powers to control the socio-economy of their areas. And then again,their should be an eagle eye, the peoples court--where rdinary citizens can have their voices heard through this channel. They too can call the shots from there. Resource control and governance must start from the grassroot.

Soludo, the only reasonable Iboman.

When its Ibo's turn for Presidency, 20yrs from now, this man will get my vote.

edwardACTIVIST:
Hahaha, that is common sense. I doubt if that will work. The tussle will be terrible especially with a clueless president like Bubu

it works in Switzerland but nothing seems to work in Nigeria.

they will run one ministry alongside so 6 less ministers like in Switzerland

igbodefender:
Soludo is a great Igbo. Igbos are known for being bags of ideas. Soludo, it seems has picked up the mantle of Ekwueme. If Soludo does not contest the presidency in 2023, whoever wins would be wise to consult this man on matters political and economic.

let him consult for anambra first

Personally I think the problem is not the structure, but the people. The same structure that everyone is clamouring for to be changed, is working well all over the world.

Atoh
we've tried parliament UK Japan Australia Canada
presidential America
military south korea
monarchy Dubai Kuwait
socialism OK this has never worked
capitalism the west in general
none is working
all of which have been used
truly we are the problem

IamaNigerianGuy:
Six vice-presidents is way too much. Imagine the political strife that will arise when they pit themselves against each other, against the president and against the governors. It will be bedlam.
A better idea will be to have been two vice presidents like south Africa has, but even then, the president can team up with the vice from his region to dominate the other.
The best solution then is one we arrive at by elimination: restructure the federation and devolve power from the center to the states. We keep coming back to this. There is no escape. The presidency itself is not the thing. What is important is control of resources and access to economic opportunity and justice.

yet no bedlam in Switzerland

Mimiko and Ayobanjo dey there sef, so with people from Middle Belt.

millomaniac:
These are the type of people that buhari has muscled and relegated to the shadows. Nigeria's present leadership is devoid of any form of intelligent progressive thinking. It is rather filled with hate, propaganda, witchhunting, tribalism and so many other horrible vices not a single positive thing for the country. God won't forgive us if we make this same mistake in the coming elections.

unfortunately their intelligence cannot win elections
all their grammar is useless without winning first

CriticMaestro:
Only God knows the solution to this very divided country

good leaders

soberdrunk:
Hahahahahaha!!! "5 Vice Presidents"?? Hahahahahaha!!! I thought they said he is a 'professor'? This sounds like something my drinking buddy Lamba would say after his 8th bottle of 'hot legend". What exactly will be the duties of the '5 vice presidents'?

google Switzerland 7 presidents

Koolking:
A single term of 6 years or even 8years for the president, I agree completely, but 5 Vice Presidents, I completely disagree. There will be too much confusions among them just like what we witnessed at NNPC a few months back. The embarrassing imbroglio between State Minister of Petroleum, Minister of Petroleum and NNPC GMD including NNPC MD. These are all quadruple of offices/functions and avoidable financial hemorrhage for the country, even when the act stipulates each functions (there are still high level of arrogance and power play among them).

2 or 5 Vice Presidents will experience nothing short of same development therefore rendering their functions useless to the people. Already the vice president is just an arm-chair executive and a ceremonial head.

google Switzerland executive

oluoni:
And what about the minority tribes like the Igbos,ijaw,ishekiri,urhobo,ilaje and so on..Scratch that ijaw get mouth pass Igbo for this country

Shebi they will rotate south south VP slot

Leo10000:
but there are about 15 ministers handling the country affairs and still not doing well,so how can 6 possibly change our pisma pisma state

they don't care about reelection

dudebuck:
On Mars I think, Is this the same system that is used in the US? Or even China? Abeg go and sit down.

it is used in Switzerland. which excuse will you come up with
it's like you guys enjoy the suffering doing the same thing that's not working

nemynely:
Just occurred to me that SOLUDO and OLODO may pass for homophones. What on earth is Soludo talking about? Have we tackled the menace of nepotism, tribal sentiments, religious affiliation and its attendant problems, weak institutions etc? There are more fundamental issues plaguing the country other than 1president and 5vice Presidents. Mchewww.

tribalism is the most fundamental issue plaguing us

abnot:


Sir it’s the structure . Even the greatest leaders of the world may not be able to function efficiently given nigeria’s Present structure

nothing wrong with the structure. it's the ppl

Though I am one for rstructuring, I also know that not every idea brought to the fore in the restructuring debate should or can be adopted.

MrEnigma007:
The problem mostly lies in the system, a little tweak in the structure will give Nigeria a solid ground.

name the tweak
no be only tweak na twerk

On the idea of six yrs, one will wonder what can be achieved in six yrs that is impossible in four yrs,, When the current government with the sense of reelection still does little to merit a second term, how much more will a single six yrs give them the sense of wanting to do something worthwhile when they know it is no coming back for them after their tenure?

I agree with this one

A President that wants to work can use the four yrs judiciously. The problem a working government will only encounter is probably the senate since they can frustrate the government if their corrupt appetite is not satisfied whether he is from their party or not...

they are only corrupt cos the president is also corrupt

so, I think the system needs to be looked into, a new way to check the government from the president down to the least power should be adopted.

we don't need any system
it's ppl
good ppl we need
for now we elect over 12 000 useless ppl
that grow from society

situation where the sitting Governor can instate a Local Government chairman or frustrate him by seizing allocation should be avoided.

until we have good leaders at local level to challenge the governor's the way tinubu challenge obj

my final take is that NIGERIA'S SYSTEM needs total overhaul

You called it Switzerland, Switzerland is a nation, is the zoo a nation? FYI it is a mere geographical expression, the feeding bottle system this zoo is using is the very reason thing are only going downhill, The US is using a federal system, that is why things are working for them, same with China but just with a little twist, that you must belong to the CCP, same with Russia, the federating units do not run to the capital at the end of every month with cap in hand just as the monkeys in the zoo do.

thesicilian:

That's the more reason the structure should be changed, it doesn't suit our people here. We cannot successfully change the people in 20years but we can change the structure in 2yrs. There are other forms of government that will work here in Nigeria.

5-4-1 is a good football formation and it works for many teams...but if you have more of attacking players, it won't just work despite being a good formation.
