We Must Address Restructuring Now – Obasanjo by Omooba77: 6:54pm On Feb 29, 2020
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has said Nigeria needs to address the matter of restructuring now.

He said failure to do this might lead to grave consequences.

Obasanjo spoke in Lagos on Saturday at the first memorial lecture of the founder of Oodua People’s Congress, Dr Fredrick Fasehun.

Obasanjo lamented the increasing rate of insecurity in the country, saying Boko Haram had continued to wax stronger over 12 years.

He said Nigeria could not afford to be plunged into another war at this time because such might not be easy to win.

He said, “When I was elected President the agitation was true federalism but now it is restructuring.

“If we don’t address it they may go from restructuring to self-determination and this will be a serious problem.

“If Boko Haram can get external support, any group that decided to go will get support from within and outside. So we must address the issue now.”

The language we are using to address ourselves across the region now is uncouth and it must not continue

“I will continue to fight for Nigeria’s unity until I die. But this fight is not to make my children and my race second class citizens.

“Ti owo o ba se san a ka leri ( If you can no longer swing your hand, then you put it on your head),” he said.

Confederation with a central government was d best option then and still now but If I say it d way it's in my mind then secession is d best now. Biafra comes to mind. If u read this OBJ lines with a matured reasoning brain u will understand that somehow he is fed up with one Nigeria and his usually Pan Naijaphilic tendency waning. Words like self determination for d first time is gaining ground and even OBJ doesn't want a one Nigeria wia his ppl will be second class citizen. My advise, OBJ u are old enough be courageous enough and say it without euphemism, Nigeria is over. History will be fair to you if u suggest and support self determination.

Had been it was easy to do, OBJ could have done it in his 8 years as president.

Restructuring in Nigeria will take at least 15 years, that's only if the Nigeria states are ready to find a means of generating their own income instead of waiting for free oyel money..

Bayelsa state with population of 3 million have been receiving 13% cut on oil for how many years now? We are talking of billion of dollars.. Where are they? Any developments to show for it?

Thanks Baba.

Restructuring might be a good call, but breakup will be de best.

Let the South & the North go deir seperate ways. The future of our children is brighter with the South & North going deir seperate ways, while de future of our children remain bleak with shit unity.

Here is a question for you. Why did God commanded David to divide Isreal in de Holy Bible?

The Nigerian situation can be reckoned to a family of 3 brothers, same father(Africa) different mothers, living together as one. The bros names are Uche, Tola & Adamu. Uche like Fufu & Ofaku soup, Tola likes Amala & Egusi while Adamu likes Tuwo & gbegiri soup.

Now, de 3 bros contributes money to make food, but Adamu won't let Uche & Tola enjoy deir favorite food, he insists dey can't make any other food in de house except Tuwo & gbegiri knowing he'll consume majority cos his bros dislikes Tuwo & gbegiri. Okay fine, let us seperate our pots & make our food seperately, Adamu refused, saying dey must maintain a pot of unity...

Thank you baba OBJ.

It's either restructuring or outright separation.

Those are the ONLY workable options cos anything short of that is just self deception and a waste of time.

It will be better we do it peacefully lest the country breaks up violently cos security is fast collapsing and as seen from recent events will get worse.

Definitely not from the Calibre of person like Obj. He once told us this about Atiku Abubakar in his book:

What I did not know, which came out glaringly later, was his parental background which was somewhat shadowy, his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time,a propensity for poor judgment, his belief and reliance on marabouts , his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out on all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety truth and national interest for self

The same Obj told us to vote for same Atiku in 2019. Like I said, Obj can continue to deceive people like una for his own personal benefits
If restructuring is coming from people who are sincere about Nigeria progress, it would have been a welcome development but people like Obj, there is more dubious intention to his call for restructuring.
