There is a loud call from different parts of the country for true federalism while others have called for regionalism.

I support regionalism where we will have six regions in Nigeria and each region would be free to make their own laws, create as many states as they want, control their resources and develop at their own pace. A certain percentage will be paid monthly to the FG which will then be not too attractive.

Under this system, there will be less tribal bitternes because for every election, all the candidates will be from among the indigenous people so whoever wins would be accepted by all. There will be no need for MASSOB/IPOB, MEND, NDA, boko haram, OPC/Agbekoya, fulani herdsmen, etc.

While I support the call for regionalism, I support a regional system whereby the present FCT(Abuja) and all other former capitals i.e Lagos & Calabar would be under the control of the FG.

This way, everyone will be happy and Nigeria will move forward.

Shalom. cool

OP, I have got bad news for you. The natives of Lagos do not want their state to be a FG property again. They also want to control their resources(Land). You should worry yourself about biafra

I support regionalism too, even six region as the case maybe. But where there will be a big problem is if anyone expects that the six regions will be this so called SW/SE/SS etc.

Stop making this mistake. The ibos are ready to forfeit all these places in exchange for Lagos. An ibo man would rather die in Lagos than go back to iboland

Exactly my brother, for instance Igbos will take back our lands of Obigbo & Egbema carved into Rivers state in 1976. These were part of old Imo state.

The seaports alone is enough for the FG to 'annex' lagos state not to talk of other structures like the 3rd mainland bridge and other. Do you know how much those seaports contributed to making Lagos what it is today

That will be left for the SS people to worry about.
