Let's go back to regions
Let's have six regions per the current six geopolitical zones
Each region will have a Gov and a deputy Gov selected by people of the region
Each region may have as many states as they want
However, the states of each region will not get federal allocations from Abuja
Zones will get equal fed allocation and share among  states in each zone
Lagos will get some additional fed allocation due to its high population catering for people from all regions.
Additional allocation should go to zones producing the resources that feed the nation (similar to what obtains now)
The presidency should come from each zone rotationally, with two VPs, one of which should come from the president's zone (in case he decides to die before his tenure lapses)
One of the VPs (the one not from the President's zone) should double as the senate president (to save money)

No to 6 regions

5 regions

1. the north :- NW, NE and middle belt apart from abuja, benue, kwara, kogi and plateau

2. The west: - SW, edo, 3/4 of delta, kwara, western kogi apart from lagos

3. the east :- SE, akwa ibom, benue, 1/4 of delta, cross river

4. the south south:- balysea, some part of delta

5. the O.Y.Os :- plateau,rivers, FCT, and lagos. this states, anyone can rule be it a man from baylsea or ngwa man etc good luck

Johndoe100:

You this cattle humper, when will you leave us alone? WHY SHOULD "ANYONE" RULE MY STATE - RIVERS?

Because

1. rivers state holds the highest population of non-indigenes apart from lagos, abuja and edo state

2. River state ie port harcourt would grow into a maga city like lagos within the next 5 decades if not better

Ok add Kaduna to it, but the point is still the same

the british arrangement of Nigeria was false.

It's common sense that the regional structure was better than what we have today. Even though the British created Nigeria, and one of their lepa women even dashed us the name Nigeria (and we all like cattle accept to be Nig.ers area folks) the regional setup produced many of the best development we've had.

Yet how can we go back now? The North will not freely give up being 19 of 36 with the South scattered as oppossed to 1 of 4 or 1 of 6. Those occupying Senate seats like Ekwastupid and governor office like the Great Theo Orji arent gonna give up their Warrant chieftancy to being replaced by Okpara-like leaders.

So, there has to be some economic incentive, or complete revolution to achieve a regional setup

No oooo!!!!Take Kaduna out and put in Kano.

Now fixed!

Plateau can join any of the contiguous regions. It is not a no man's land.

Not a bad idea.

In addition each region should have it's police force and control it's resources. Only a percentage of their earnings should be sent to Abuja.

Regionalism is the way to go. There should be six zones which will not include Lagos, Calabar and Abuja. These three cities should be declared a special territory and will recive funding from the FG.

GAR3TH:

I propose that we have 6 - 10 states. These states will be formed based on viability and not based on ethnicity. Since each state is based on viability each of the states will receive the same amount of allocations. And since each state was created based on viability it means each state will have significant amount of IGR.

Each state can choose how many local government areas they want, but no state shall receive more allocation than the others because it has more LGAs.

Its the states responsibility to decide how to split it budget between its LGAs.

Large cities will receive direct additional funding from the federal government.

Each state an/or local governments can generate their own power, infrastructure, police force or do anything they want as long as it benefits the masses.

The federal government responsibilities will drastically be lowered and those responsibilities will be shared by the states.

The amount of senators and representatives in the federal, state, and LGA will drastically decrease and the salaries of politicians shall also decrease dramatically.

This seems to be a start of something that makes sense.
