The bloodsucking north will not allow that. They feel it is their right to rule Nigeria and its resources. Forgetting that the south supports the bulk of this contraption called Nigeria

Have southern lawmakers asked for it in the NA and it was rejected by Northern lawmakers?

When GEJ became the president of Nigeria, he said, "There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian constitution and there is nothing to talk about". I might not get the exact words, but is almost something like that. He said it during a press release and I watch him say it on Channels news or NTA news.

I won't blame Northerners for this, every politicians dey enjoy Nigeria with the way it's been run presently. That's why GEJ a man from the South South geopolitical zone didn't do anything about restructuring till he found out the 2015 election won't be in his favor.

Is GEJ the only one culpable? What about the likes of Obasanjo and Tinubu who were very controversial regarding the issue of restructuring...? Or is it that you did not see their own faults. Stop this childish tribalistic sentiment.

The deed has been done, and as it stands now, everyone is filing for a divorce ; the marriage has ended. And people are fed up of trying to make this nonsense work

Ironsi made a very grave mistake

The rulers of nigeria economy( i mean our people from dat part of nigeria dat hates education ) the controllers of Niger delta oils, dat region where their elite sends their kids abroad while they send the masses to study mass destruction, to kill so they can marry 150 virgins when they die. Those big fish and pay master from dat region won't accept this you suggestion

When did Tinubu rule Nigeria? Did I stop you from talking about OBJ you this dirty p!!g?

It seems you're blind and didn't see when I talked about southern lawmakers. I specifically chose to talk about GEJ because he is from the Niger Delta, a region that have been screaming about resource control.

You're free to talk about OBJ and stop wailing about my comment you daf+ p!!g.

TOO LATE!! Biafra or nothing.

Regional government won't be a bad idea.

Regional government would not work because there are more educated people now compared to the old time when it was practiced. Regional government will improve tribalism instead of reducing it. The only system of government that would work is for each state to stand on its own. Just like it's done in the USA.

That will be Nigerian’s nightmare -- the actualization of the Aburi Accord. They'd not embrace decentralisation as it would translate that those regions will hold overdue power than when federated the Nigerian way.

It will also give thoughts of secession, as the secessionists will have a better time to arrange their plan, without any upper chamber to foil it.

This was one of the triggers of the Civil War of 1967; agreeing to decentralise in Ghana, but refusing to do it when they got home, after the Northern and South Western elites spoke some sense into oga at the top that it was a plan to actualize Biafra.

But if I was to suggest, I think a multi-party system is not good for Nigeria. A two-party system is better.

Unfortunately some states have no business being states because they can't produce anything. In two years they will crawl back to the federal government for handout, that's why a state like ebonyi, osun and a host of northern states won't support this restructuring (I mean their politicians).

You have been brainwashed!
The state of living in a tribe is tribalism. What exactly is wrong with being loyal to your own group? As opposed to being loyal to a white man's creation?
Do respond

which fact? What you just displayed over there was a pure hatred over your main target, has Tinubu ever ruled Nigeria?
Jonathan was a president, he had the power then.
What about your reps and senators currently in the House?

I know you love and support Tinubu, but you need to set aside sentiment and see the bigger picture here. The likes of Tinubu are partly responsible for the planned restrictions on restructuring and for us to deny this will be hypocritical.

Why should North allow that when it is obvious Azikwe denied North secession before independence and Ironsi dissolved regional govt and put in place Unitary system. Nobody can play with our intelligence, we are not fools to be played like football.
You can't forced & imposed on us what we didn't like and after 60yrs you now want reverse your selfishness.
Some group of people before Independence predicted that they're educationally advantaged and expected to dominate everything that is why they imposed Unitary system on us. North woke up and invested heavily on foreign scholarships and the trend still continues and now they're afraid that in the next few years we'll take over the dream they couldn't actualized; this is the secret of current outrages, propaganda, ethno-religious tension campaigns.
In thin & thick, we must finish Lugard contract by fire-by-force!

You are just deceiving yourself. Are you aware that the clamour for secessionist is growing stronger by the day? Just of recent 52 northern groups have vouched for the Biafras to go. So what are you saying...? Your region is known to sent this country in reverse due to Illiteracy and terrorism. So why would you want to keep us in the bondage you chose for yourself?

I thank God that the likes of Sunday Igboho are pushing for the breakup of this nonsense

Bro, Ironsi did not abolish Regionalism as many have been led to believe. The Regions still existed and controlled its resources right up to the day Ironsi died


It was Gowon who came in after Ironsi and dissolved the Regions, created states, and placed all resources, particularly oil, in the hands of the federal government. The reason why Gowon did all this was to help his Northerners be in control of Nigeria

Regionalism will never return to Nigeria because the North likes the current system more than Regionalism and they will fight to keep it that way

Ebonyi has more than enough resources to take care of itself, if it has to. The fact that most of those resources arent harnessed now doesnt mean it wont be used later in the future if they need to use them

me love Tinubu? I hate all the politicians in Nigeria, because they are collectively gang raping the natural resources and the future of the country together.
irrespective of their tribes, they are the same.
What I don't like is when a set of people attack Tinubu and leave the likes of Orji Kalu.

God forbid I support that cruel and corrupt man! What I just wanted to point out was that our present predicament came as a result of indecision. If our past leaders were committed to their ideals and principles, none of this nonsense would have happened

[/s]Bros you are still living in 1960 when the world has already updated to 2021. The Igbos should have their freedom and the reason is simple : The north has been ruling this country for more than 40 years and with those years nothing has been achieved. Rather, it is corruption engulfed in mismanagement of public offices of which the north is notoriously known for.

If u thinking agitation is the actualisation of the struggle go and ask what happened at Tigray recently. Not all people survive to witness such agitations, many people must fall. Agitation formed out of religious hatred and ethno-religious propaganda has no basis and give birth to further concerns of the minorities within the agitating groups.
When the 52 online groups gave ultimatum to some groups residing in the North did we take them serious?
Why did u hail them today and berate them on other days?

Berating what? Are these not the same northern group who were shouting "one Nigeria "some years back, and now they have changed their tones? Except you want to deny it every sane nigerian is tired of this nonsense and it is just a matter of time before the division of this zoo takes place. So get ready

exactly, that means if they can't stand by themselves, then they'll have no other option than merging with a State that can exist on it's own.
