Restructuring Nigeria is the only way. It is not the fault of buhari nor Jonathan or even obj. If we don't restructure , we will keep failing. It is not about who we elected nor tribe , it is about the system of government that we are practicing. Nothing good can ever come out of the system we are practicing

I agree with you! My bf was saying the same thing!

What good is a system when the people controlling the system are corrupt than the word corrupt?

Regionalism will change nothing. Can i also tell you that our diversity is also a bad system. Dont get me wrong. There is nothing wrong in diversity. But when you have 300 ethnic groups, and there are 3 majority, with each one of them making up 20 percent of the country's population, then that itself is a bad system.

No i was trying to draw my bf's attention to this topic
With that being said, good afternoon sir

Restructuring Nigeria isn't the problem. Changing our mentality is. Poverty has caused untold damage to the mindset of the average Nigerian.

True! And the diversity doesn't seem to end, because here comes Biafra.

Yea and that poverty mentality relates to personal greed, if you know what I'm saying

Personal greed? I think not. It's all about expanding ones mind to stop thinking small.

The mind of a Nigerian is basically concerned with what it will eat today, nothing more, nothing less.

Let's not forget, greed is something possess by almost every human on this earth.

Yeah you are right about the eat today and not think of tomorrow aspect but don't you think the African kind of greed is way too much than the normal human greed because I've seen politicians in Europe that are greedy but not the way African politicians are, at least they think about their people and about the future.

There is reason why i fight for an only yoruba republic. I do not want benin and itshkiri people to join. This is because we will form another "mini nigeria"...which will not be good for us at all. It will hinder our progress. The minorities will always complain of being marginalized.
The igbos that attach themselves the niger deltans to form biafra do not know what is to come. They will regret they form a country with the niger deltans when the country eventually splits. Niger deltans themselves will have many problems, because of too much diversity. E.g Ijaws and urhobo, ijaws and itsekiri, benins and so on.
I should not be talking about biafra anyways.

I believe all the diversities, conflicts will lead to a revolution, it's all about the waiting....because it will definitely take place due to natural laws.

If you see the UK has a well structured system where you have England, wales, Scotland and Ireland to make one country even though their government system are diverse. That's how Nigeria should restructure. It would be great for Nigeria. So the south west, east, south and the north will have their own system of government but in one country. I think it could work, the only thing that could hinder it is personal greed.

Greed is greed. I tell you, the greed of the white man is just as dangerous like that of the black man. If you check the capitalist tendencies of the white man, you'll visibly see this.

However, what stops the white man from exploiting his fellow white man is because the law in the white man's country works. While that of ours doesn't.

i dont believe regional government will change anthing. It failed in 1960s and will fail again. This regionalism even lead us to civil war. When we were having regionalism, some regions were even fighting to leave the country.
The uk is totally different from nigeria. Nigeria was amalgamted. We were forced to live together. If we start practising regionalism, tribalism, hate and envy will increase.
Can you now see why we cant be compatible?

So you are supporting diversity then?

Restructuring is the least that can be done to save NIGERIA........it's like recalibration on a precision equipment

I am in supprt of a balkanized nigeria. Let nigeria split. I am yoruba, and i support a separate yoruba country. We are very large and can live and progress on our own.
Niger-Area should split once and for all.

Okay I respect your opinion

Honestly, we need to restructure this country.

Why is it that no group is pushing for Yoruba republic
