The word 'restructure' is being used by some of the nation leaders in the recent days which caused a great disturbance to some.
This makes it a great reason to check in depth the form in which the restructuring will look like and the effect it will have on the political and economic factors among others in the country.

Tracing it back to history during the British colonial era where Nigeria is basically divided into two which is the Northern and the Southern part of Nigeria, powers given to the federal government is minimal and the local citizens feel the impact of the government of each region more because effectiveness is being felt compared to when the regions are being divided into three or to the present thirty-six states which were pioneered by the military government led by the famous General Yakubu Gowon.
It is also noted that economically before dividing the nation into states in which we have today, the economy of each region is used to develop the region and some of the portions are sent to the federal government which is about 40% of the income. Checking all these benefits, it is nice to the ear maybe that is why some still support the idea thinking it will reduce the security issues facing the country in the recent days.

Some political analyst believe if the restructuring is put in place effectively with good policies, it might be the solution to the weakened unity the country is being faced with, reducing the Biafra call for disintegration in the recent days because each region won't have any other reason to hold the federal government to ransom for any issue being faced because a nice proportion of power would be given to the government of each region politically and financially.
The group also state that the Ijaw group won't feel cheated and the militants’ uproar will be solved. Can this be the school of thought that the former vice president Atiku Abubakar belongs to? Can’t decide on the mode he wishes is heard.

Some political analysts also believe it will be a good idea but the negative part of it was also being looked into (since both sides are to be checked for efficient planning). It was noted that the negative factors are more than the positive benefits; they believe it is just a step closer to cessation.

It was noted that giving power to each region will give rise to more call for cessation which might definitely lead to disintegration. This might be the reason the ruling party rejected the idea of the former vice president (who is also a great leader in the party).

What do you think about restructuring Nigeria?

Which school of thought do you think is right?

hmm

Okay

Should we mention stone or snake to get it on the front page? Cos opinion of Nigerians are needed

And what is wrong with disintegration.
If disintegration will make us better human beings and better and respectable Citizens of the world, why not.

Restructuring cannot work where there is no existing structure. Nigeria is too large, political fission will work better

What is wrong with disivion? We can't live together, then let us live separately

Restructuring will sideline the cesationist and put them in the minority

More main stream politicians unhappy with the status quo will now find a common ground with the pro One-Nigerian politicians
