This man speaks like a true patriot and I agree with most of what he says, but the major solution to Nigeria's problems is not restructuring, it is still fighting corruption. Both political and economic corruption. If you restructure the country into regions and the regional heads are corrupt and incompetent, how does that help? A major reason the north is educationally backwards is because their leaders have diverted their resources and allocations for their personal use, and there is no accountability. It is the same problem with the Niger Delta, and if you check very well, you'll see that both the north and Niger Delta have similar issues - educational backwardness, insurgency, poor infrastructural development. To blame that on the central government is just plain mental laziness.
Whatever the structure of the nation is is not as relevant as having competent, accountable and economically sound leaders...

I understand your point but just because something is given to you does not mean that need to accept it. Especially when it clearly does not work in your favor.

There are more peasants than emirs. The people of the north have shown a peculiar willingness to kill southerners and infidels for the pettiest of reasons (such as comments made about beauty contests or cartoons drawn in Denmark) then why do they refuse to force their useless leaders to feel their wrath? Why can't they use that same violence to bring about real change to their society?

That what i call mental slavery...

They easily brainwashed... They are ready to kill the people they calls infidels not knowing their problem is in their communities..

They are not ready to overcome their predicament...willing to lavish in poverty...

That is one of the reason their elites don't want them to go to school...


Well i tire for their matter...

Unfortunately he still has d lazy, socialist mentality and expects allocation from the central federal government.



What is that crap? Where will d FG draw d funds to share as allocation from? Is it not from d regions? Why should a group of people commandeer resources not theirs and redistribute by whatever sharing formula? The regions should be self reliant and then contribute to the centre an agreed percentage.

Legalaxe1:


There are some of you that your main problem is your inability to wean yourself from critical and judgmental mind. What does Yoruba you called Afonja have to do with this interview? How can we have people with your frame of mind in Nigeria and we think there is future for the country? Your vituperations are failure of sound development of intellect. Can't we dissect, pick out strengths and jettison the odds? If a man proposed restructuring but still desires that his concept of restructuring should be one that regions should depend on FG to sustain themselves is that far different from present system. The fundamental issue in any restructuring is fiscal autonomy of the regions. Federal Government should bother itself about exclusive common matters to the existence of unity but not on fundamental matters that states can handle better. There are quotes strengths in his interview as well as odds.
Think before you write. Stop wasting your data on frivolity.

I might agree with his point. As a Northerner and Hausa by tribe I will like to share Northern's view on Leadership Of Nigeria Based on my Understanding. More than average of total population of Northerners are scare of any Southerner to Becomes president, Because of too much hate and Descrimination from the Southerners which is means there will be more Consequences whenever Southerner climbs number one seat. For Example, During Jonathan everyone knows Jonathan did not fought well on Boko Haram and its even politically Empowered by Him. If you to Judge fairly you know South hates North very much for Example, its hardly to find Northerner that owns House or land in south but if you come to The North you will be Suprised to find thousands of Southerners that own lands, Houses, and some of them are even in the Government. We treat them like our own people we do Business with them we employ them we give them Right to own Businesses we sometimes prefer to do Business with them than our own people and all we need from them is only to respect our Religion and Tribe Because these two things come first before everything.
Thank God we dont talk too much we only do action and we dont care about what Southern media are saying.
We might be a Prloblem to Nigeria as South and the only Solution is to let every Region go it own way

Brother. Your opinion is what the constitution said about movement, trade and migration.
Is there anytime a northerner precisely wanted land for development or premises for business and was denied by the south or southerner. You're mindset is negative and need proper orientation accordingly.
Hausas still occupy vital positions in SW. The share common business relationship in the SE. Hausas monopolize certain business there in south. I have 4 plots of lands for sale in owerri
You can buy and develop it. A lucrative offer just for you.

This is China's BYD monorail train... Again, you know what is the monorail?

Fawklicant:



What a load of bullcrap. You are exactly what Balarabe Musa just described, the uneducated problem of Nigeria. Your opinion is not just skewered but inherently flawed. Praytell, how many notherners even own houses in northern cities as compared to southerners in their own cities?

The south hates you but your folks litter the entire hamlets and clans in the south looking for the low income opportunities most of them are qualified for mainly due to illiteracy? Because you are not educated and trained to see opportunities, your folks end up as mai guards, cobblers, mai shai, mai suya and the likes and you blame the south for giving you the opportunity to ply your trade?
The problem is religion and mundane non progressive cultural practices. I'm tempted to say that the average northerner lacks ambition, maybe due to religious and cultural influences. We still have myriads of illiterate southerners, but their mentality and outlook to life is almost completely different hence why they are progressive.

The southerner is not your problem, it is your nothern elites who impoverish you mind, body and spirit with religious stupidity and tribal brainwashing to the point where common sense takes flight and you resort to blaming the south for the sins of your fathers. My brother read what you wrote again and tell me if you don't deserve a refund of the school fees you've paid thus far?
