With the recent incitement of the Northern youth group against people of Igbo extraction in the north and the response both i support and against their utterance by all and sundry as well as the clamour by the Indegenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and by MEND some years back and the Niger Delta Avengers not too long ago and the wading into national issues of groups such as Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Arewa and groups throughout the country, one can't but wonder why we prefer to go round in circles when there is a clear solution to this quagmire we found ourselves in.

We hear it in most political forums and it's a word used by pressure groups all the time. "Restructuring" seems like the way out of some of our problems especially as it relates to tribal bickering but it seems that the powers that be particularly from the north are so averse to this idea and one is keen to ask why such a noble idea will be opposed by any group.

I watched former deputy president, Ibrahim Mantu being interviewed on AIT and in his quest to defend why he's against restructuring, he said that was he's in support of is Economic restructuring and the presenter kept hounding him on what he meant by economic restructuring and he was speechless most of the time. How can you have economic restructuring without political restructuring.

As far as some people are concerned, regions having total control over what is in the domain is tantamount as dividing the country. I wonder why any one would reason this way except such people are parasites who can't exist without having a dose of the resources being produced in another region. It's painful and shameful to watch people deliberately and tactically oppose such a wonderful idea.

Some of them will say that we don't want restructuring because it will cause disunity and you wonder if Nigeria can ever be disunited than it currently is whereby every ethnic group thinks that they're being cheated. A country where nepotism and favoritism both in appointments, allocation and citing of projects are concerned.

We say we want unity but when it comes to practicing it in deed, we fall short. A country where there's a difference between residents and indegenes. A country where a particular tribe can own a state and will wake up one day and ask every other person to leave.

It's clear that we're been ruled by a band of selfish thieves whose sole aim is to milk the nation dry with their penchant for acquiring material things at the detriment of our commonwealth. Worse still, we're in a nation where the born to rule north won't do the right thing because they feel they will lose out from an arrangement that has been arranged to favour them.

I think if we still want NIgeria, it's either we sincerely do the right thing otherwise any group that's calling for secession should be hailed by all. We can't be speaking from both sides of our mouth.

There is no unity in Nigeria, only hatred and mistrust.

It is almost too late to re-structure, almost too late. If Nigeria does not restructure now, then the death of Oil will be the death of Nigeria as a very poor country.

Igbos are saying Biafra or Restructure. Then a Pan-Yoruba group says Restructure. Only the North is making noise about saying let Igbos Go...Crazy parasite.

The Middle Belt should rise up and join the call for Restructuring.

Buhari whether alive or death started this nonsense with his popular 97% 5% speech. So there is no going back to the call to Restructure.

Imagine how the North even treat Osinbanjo even when we know that Buhari is incapable of leading the country.

For all those who sit on the fence, I hope your kids and grandkids will forgive you all for not taking a stand.

Igbos aren't saying biafra OR RESTRUCTURE, igbos are saying biafra OR DEATH, and BIAFRA SHALL YOU GET!

The reality of you people's tomfoolery is now staring at you in the face and now you are begging for options that never existed.

You will get your biafra whether you like it or not.

This write up coming from an hypocrite like Afam just makes it a laughable write up.


Were you sleeping in 2011.

Anyone who is talking about restructuring should forget it. If Ojukwu could not get restructuring in Aburi despite an agreement, nobody can

The core North will allow restructuring which will leave them economically and politically irelevant? Not in a million years

The whole South simply has to unite and call the North to order on the matter. They have made it clear: na oil money they like. Abeg keep am. Without that oil there are states like Lagos that can do very well.

That said, I am just shaking my head at fools who supported or voted Buhari in. Because obvious if Jonathan was in power I don't see this happening. At most, it would be disgruntled Northern cabals.

I don't want any damn restructuring, I want an outright desolution, period!

I don't feel like sharing the same country with igbos anymore.That time has passed!

That said, afam4eva is a hypocrite.

Afam is a clown. No one should take him seriously although we need to restructure Nigeria but that shouldn't come from a hypocrite like afam

Have you not noticed something? Does it make sense that elders from a state with all its resources have to go to Abuja to beg for their rightful dividends of democracy? Think before you criticize abeg!

He has gone back to delete the original comment in that thread thinking that would save him the embarasment. He's forgotten that people quoted him back then.

Just imagine the rubbish he's said. Since the South West didnt vote for PDP, they have no right to make demands of a PDP constituted FG. How wicked can a man be!

Afam Mr hypocrisy, where was this article during Gej era , you told us to go and meet oga tinubu here we re today.
You too go and meet taniods for ur crumbs

Afam4eva:

Forget my hypocrisy and focus on the topic. Are you for or against restructuring?

no we can't forget rather than remember you karma is real.
APC controls the federal so all apc states must enjoy. If u feel marginalised go and meet taniods you gave them your vote.

Nairalanders I present you the greatest hypocrites of all time. AFAM4EVA

Quote "''''you cannot eat your cake and still have .PDP controls the centre, so states that will benefit from the centre re pdp states. They should go and meet oga tinubu if they feel marginalized"

Afam4eva 2011

Afam4eva:

I'm not the one that is restructuring Nigeria. I'm i?

you have no iota of shame, as far nairaland is concerned your opinions re worthless because of ur antecedents the best thing for u is to remain silent in politics section .

The people here calling Afam4eva hypocrites are hypocrites too.
Did Jonathan not call for restructuring?

And who said Jonathan intently left the Yorubas? Not quite.

The problem is Jonathan invested his efforts in the North building almajiri schools, roads and badly-needed universities in the North so they would return the favour in 2015 thinking he had a ready base in the South. They replied by voting Buhari en masse. The Igbos stood by him the Yorubas sided with Buhari granting him victory.

So who lost? Is it not the South as a whole that has clamored for restructuring? Even Tinubu complained about it. Hypocrisy. When the Confab 2014 report was thrown in the dustbin and Northern elites prefferred where was Jagaban.
Oya, Lagos RIGHTLY asked for a special status and more funds. Rejected! Okay North East Developmemt bill as South as a whole be mumu u nor fit unite leverage us make ur demands b4 granting theirs, you gave it on a platter of gold.

Just continue fighting yourselves and losing. Me I am watching.

we re not complaining either abi is it ur suffering

It's childish to assume that restructuring will save Nigeria.

It won't.

What is happening now did not start today.

It was there during the era of regionalism.

It will still be there after a billion restructuring.

It was not today that an elder statesman said that "Nigeria is not a nation but a mere geographical expression".

It can never get truer than that. And restructuring can never change it.

What Nigeria needs is a national referendum that allows all its constituents to CHOOSE and determine their NATIONAL identity.

Anything else is just another round of wild goose chase.

Afam4eva:
^^^ It's not too late to restructure.

Restructuring sounds like an ideal solution. The problem is will we have enough patience and selflessness to make it work? What's to say that the areas with the most economic viability in the restructured regions won't lay claim to larger portions of economic proceeds, to the detriment of others? The same "Chop-make-i-chop" political philosophy will still be at play as the same crop of politicians further feast on the 'regional cakes' with reckless abandon.

I really wish restructuring were the answer but, sadly, there's no utopia anywhere. The key in this journey of change is basically reorientation and sacrifice, from leadership and followership. At least, let's help this coming generation not to think like us.

Fair enough. Those who benefit from the worst think it is the best. Ride on sir.

Good. And it is for this reason why it has been urged the restructuring be done in phases. Just little concessions like state police etc. But Northerners are stubborn. The state police for example makes a whole lot of sense. NPF is a joke. What is the use of having a state legislature without a state police? Abeg tell me?

This present arrangement is not working; and may not work. A system that supports the few elites to keep getting rich while the masses keeps languishing in abject poverty. Any system that doesn't support the middle class will not work.

But then, the call for restructuring coming right now that power has changed hands sounds off more like a political agitation than an honest call. The North sees it as a ploy to destabilize their tenure and looking at it deeply, one cannot help but see their point. Why wasn't this agitation made when a southerner was president? GEJ called a National conference and sat on all the recommendations made; never acted on any until he started using it as a political campaign.

I still believe that a restructuring is seriously needed; but a dissolution that will retain this same political class and style would be the worse that will happen; a case study is the Southern Sudan.

Aren't we ashamed of continuously making this shallow statement?.... Is the core north God?... If the rest of Nigeria for once can speak with one voice on restructuring, what makes you thing the core north is so omnipotent?.... Was the core north not woefully defeated in 2011 when the entire south and middlebelt supported GEJ?
