All i want you to understand is that that which you desire (true federalism) has no place in our constitution. To amend that part of the constitution is not impossible but with the kind of differences we have, it is nearly impossible to achieve.

Only a military regime can achieve restructuring, that seems to be the only solution but its not going to happen.
Yes it currently has no place, but it once did (back in 1963). The military always favored Unitary System (coming from their federal make-up) and that resulted in the January 1966 coup.

The question is, you want it back and how to get it?
Democratically, its like passing a camel through the eye of the needle.

The whole of Nigeria needs to agree to it. The call for restructuring must be done in a way that all Nigerians will see the benefit. For now, the call seems selfish and the larger part of the country will not agree to it.

Treating our 36 States thesame way as the U.S. States relate to U.S. Federal Government can never be difficult and impossible to achieve.

When will these old men that have failed nigeria die and leave the younger generations to their fate, even at old age these men have nothing meaningful to offer after plunging the nation into a senseless war borne out of greed and hatred.

Biafra is my identity
God bless you. The little respect I have for the foolish Gowon is gone
