Its only a matter of time before states are merged into regions... I see no reason as to why we have 36 governors of largely unproductive states when the better option would be having 6 governors of potentially strong regions... One olodo was even openly saying that he only visits his state 3 times a month... what kind of nonsense is that? 3 Likes |

samdunzo: The truth is, the regions were not better than the states either. The problem with Nigeria is that we think that rich and prosperous nations genmerate revenue by selling raw materials and sharing the money The harsh truth? It is by taxation that rich nations meet most of their needs...and some countries tax everything. Regions won't work. We don't have the agricultural markets we had in the 1960's. We don't even have the type of farming system that can produce enough cash crops for export.Mining too is poorly regulated, plus we don't mine enough to sustain ourselves. Plus the old regions mainly consisted of big triobes dominating smaller ones...which is what the state structure largely avoids. Modified...As an example of how tax pervasive some countires are...in the US, a guy won a car on a nationally teelvised TV show. For the privilege of collecting that car he paid taxes of $3000 . In Nigeria, he would have colelcted the car and gone home. 2 Likes |

You just had to find a way to blame the ‘okoros’.....people who are busy minding their own business and doing the ‘one Nigeria’ you lot forced them at gun point to do! This was how you looked at all the mayhem and destruction caused in Lagos during the endsars protest, and then blamed it all on the ‘pesky Igbos’! 10 Likes 1 Share |

PhiliptheArab: Im not saying go back to the old regions, we have 6 geopolitical zones and I believe those should be used as federating units. What i do not approve is the waste going on with states. Copying the US model was a big mistake. Nigeria is much more similar to the UK, a union of different nationalities(English, Welsh, Scots, and Irish) than it is with the US(A settler colony). Our political structure needs to show that reality. The earlier we do this, the better 3 Likes |

agadez007:So we see why SW cannot be serious with restructuring or fiscal federalism. When half the states in your region are like this, unity begging for oil money must be your avowed cause. Talk of favouring regionalism is the usual talking from both sides of the mouth. Whereas agriculture could rescue these states if not standing akimbo waiting for oil money. 9 Likes 1 Share |

samdunzo: 1.And the same waste won't happen under the regions, even the new six regions... 2.If we wanted to be like the UK..we would end up with anything from 100-250 federating units. Sure you want that? 3.The problem with revenue in Nigeria is that we have a low tax to gdp ratio, as I have pointed out uptheread. Because most states would rather wait for oil money rahter than charge taxes...because many Nigerians beleive that the revenue we earn from selling oil can cater for all of us. 4.Even with regions, the revenue issues would still be there.Plus the complaints of 'big tribe is dominating small tribes'..which is what led to state creation in the first place (and there are lots of applications pending for new states...if not that the Constitution makes it very hard to create more states) 1 Like |

PhiliptheArab: Under a regional structure, there would be economies of scale that if realized, would fare better than even the best of states Each region can have subunits(LGA) with greater degrees of autonomy, helping reduce any potential conflict in multiethnic regions (NE, MB, and ND) Exactly why i believe it is better to address this problem now via the creation of regions and decentralization of certain sectors that will create jobs than wait for oil money to stop flowing. As I said earlier, the issue of domination can be addressed through laws and decrees. It is likely that the state HOA's would combine to form one big regional HOA, so all groups would still be represented within that regional government 1 Like |
