You called it Switzerland, Switzerland is a nation, is the zoo a nation?

yes


FYI it is a mere geographical expression,

so sad they have used English to capture your thinking


the feeding bottle system this zoo is using is the very reason thing are only going downhill,

this caused by laziness


The US is using a federal system,
that the PEOPLE DEFEND with their lives not with mouth


that is why things are working for them,


why won't it work when ppl are willing to fight for it


what are we willing to fight for, nothing
even our own lives (benue and taraba ppl ) refuse to stand up for


same with China but just with a little twist, that you must belong to the CCP,

you know the ccp don't play with their way of life


same with Russia,

Putin
abramovich all fought for their share



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.
that's there choice
we can change it
I don't see anybody complaining when eagles are playing or our anthem is sung at Olympics
it is you that makes the nation a zoo not politicians
the many not the few
and we don't have problem with each other

Of course we do. My ancestors did exist as nigerians, so why should anybody force me to? BTW when those people are running around like headless chickens on the pitch or the martial song you call anthem is sung, I don't give a fvck, In stopped watching them play since 2014 when Nnamdi Kanu opened my eyes. That is one, Nnamdi Kanu was here preaching about Biafra, but also made it clear on several occasions that he will accept if there can be some changes, only 1diots refused to understand him, now where is Kanu? What about the people who where with him, what of the IPOB members that were wasted by those cowardly criminals you call army killed, did they not pay the ultimate price? You are on Nairaland running your mouth, as if I have not exposed myself to dangers when marching on the street with my comrades. Coward like you.

Gerrard59:



If you cannot make your points without insults, kindly let me know.

His suggestion doesn't make any sense. Why not ten vice presidents? Why stop at five? The costs of running such government will be overly expensive. The more I attempt to think about it, the more it comes across as ridiculous.

At the coloured: It's the more reason I'm disappointed. The individuals I know who have a first will not think about such a suggestion.



This is more like it.

His suggestion is more like a regional system of government, like Nigeria used to practise before the unfortunate interference of the military in 1966.

The VPs will be in charge of the various regions, and there will be no state governors.

As it stands now, three things only can salvage Nigeria:

- A new constitution, written and agreed upon by Nigerians.
- Going back to the regional system of government or any other such re-arrangement that will give more power to the units of the federation, the centre is too powerful in the current system and it's a major major problem.
- Rotational presidency of a single term, to be rotated among the regions too, with the president having less powers than we have today.

Soludo's suggestion is not a bad one at all if you look at it objectively and logically.
Re: Soludo: Nigeria Needs 5 Vice Presidents & A Six-year Single Term For Presidents by GuntersChain(m): 9:23am On May 22, 2018
politics in nigeria is too lucrative and juicy, they should make it less attractive so it can become service to humanity. the state and national assembly should be paid per sitting; dissolve the power in the centre by resource control states take charge of their resources and pay tax to centre, states which are not viable should be merged with a viable one, create state and community policing. do away with quota system. eliminate some useless ministries that are not productive, all workers do is sign attendance and gossip till close of work. enact strong labour laws to protect the citizens from capitalist vampires.

LadyExcellency:


But Nigeria is not working.

We need to do something differently for this country to work.

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is simply madness.

I'm with you and Soludo 100%. Even if Nigeria does not work as a whole, some regions will work based on competition, looking at how states like Lagos for example surprised us with infrastructural development and people oriented projects, which is being seen as impossible tasks before.

We need to decentralize this government, too much power, decision making and reliance is being given to the President. Imagine, blaming the president for every thing going wrong in every state, what then is the use of governors and local government chairmen.

But I know it won't be achieved because of oil money.

"The tenure of office of the President shall be a single term of six years," Soludo said. "There shall be five Vice Presidents. One from each of the six geopolitical zones.”

A Nigerian economics professor and a former Governor and chairman of the board of directors of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, on Monday called for a single term of six years for the country's presidents.

He made this call at the Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, Anambra State, while speaking at the south east summit on restructuring Nigeria.

He also suggested that the country should have five vice presidents, each representing a geopolitical zone.

Pointing out that presidents should serve for a single term and the years of the term should be extended from four years to six years, Soludo said: “The tenure of office of the President shall be a single term of six years.

"There shall be five Vice Presidents. One from each of the six geopolitical zones.”

Soludo’s comments come as a reawakening of calls by notable Nigerians for the restructuring of the country.

Also speaking at the summit was the President of the Ohaneze, John Nwodo, who called for equality in the affairs.

The summit was attended by the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu; former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana; Governor of Anambra State, Willie Obiano; Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, former APGA Chairman, Victor Umeh; Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and Niger Delta leader Edwin Clark, amongst others.

It was earlier reported that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) threatened to disrupt the summit on the grounds that Biafra is non-negotiable.

The statement released by the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, in Enugu tate threatening to disrupt the summit read in parts: “All we want is referendum not restructuring; we want Biafra not Nigeria.

"We have buried too many people; we have lost too many souls; we are pained by the innocent people that are still languishing in illegal detention all over Nigeria and we are enraged by the betrayal of those we call socio-political leaders. Only the total restoration of Biafra will suffice; anything else is mere waste of time.”

While i agree with some of Soludos idea, i think there is still some loopholes, Regions like the south south and North central will be heavily fractured because the tribes you have there are so many. But if we maintain this state structure that we have now, and give more powers to the LGA chairmen and governors. Let these guys take care of themselves. Trust me the competition would be very healthy. Secondly people should not be allowed to move anyhow for now, we should at least try and curb migration to check underdevelopment of some states and regions. We have to sit down and talk, Nigeria like this isn't going anywhere walahi....

A system where most of the states are consumers of resources from 3 to 5 states.

which state is consuming oil
is it not only the politicians
we all producing what we consume
the oil no reach the masses and it's not ur to 20% of GDP though about 35% govt revenue (rest is taxes and custom duties)


Don’t deceive yourself Nigeria will only continue to get worse with this system.

if you believe that
so shall it be for you
I don'
get power, fix your constituency
so that shame will catch them and their ppl eyes will be opened or they move to yours and increase your tax base


Kindly read about the federal system being operated in USA and you’ll see that Nigeria is doomed to fail without oil money
without oil money they will focus on tax (Lagos) which will force ppl to start asking their leaders questions cos now it's their pocket feeling it not oil

but hey if you'd rather say woe is you and do nothing then be my guest

Our problem is structure and people. Our form of government is not defined. We practice federalism with no free States and local governments. We need to practice true federalism and we will accelerates development because each governors will not want to be left behind. 6 VP will further impoverished already broke country. We need to trim down numbers of elected officials and not increase it. United States has 50 states and 100 senators while Nigeria has 36 states and 106 senators... that does not add up...

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.
