The south east and south south brethren have met last. Week one unanimous decision they took was a "restructured one nigeria" even though the meeting is incomplete without thier western brothers. I hope it comes to that soon. Cos first it was se alone then se and ss. I hope next will be se, ss, and ws. (say amen). One thing i would want them to address is this. What will be or should be the next option for southern nigeria in the case the fg in collaboration of the north refuses to restructure. I say this cos the south west is well disposed for a restructured nigeria, the only side against it is the north/fg controlled north yes i say this cos even if nnamdi kanu becomes nigerian president the system and the northern cabals wont allow him to simply restructure nigeria, without the north consenting and thier consent will come with usual refrain: "IT WILL NOT FAVOUR THE NORTH". A restructured nigeria will at least ease d agitations. On the short term. for now what other options do we hav apart from restructurin

To me, restructuring is our best option, a progressive big Nigeria has the potential to become the USA, China or Germany of Africa, rather than a small Finland or Kuwait. Even the middle belt tribes want restructuring, so it has more support.
To answer your question, if the North refuses, then we use Nnamdi kanu's approach.... There would be no election in the ss, se, sw, and middle belt.
With that we can all discuss what the terms and conditions should be and how to help the states that totally depend on Abuja or have less resources. Restructuring can be acheived in 3years time but before then every region must identify her natural resources and the south south must agree to contribute higher percentage to Abuja for the first few years to help those regions still totally dependent on federal allocation as well as the NE. The North East can still receive 70% support from Abuja for now.

Just for few years, North East would find it most difficult if we restructure at the moment, and the Economy is not yet properly diversified from oil.

same guys claim they used thier money from agric to develop the oil. They still control the agric. And if for over fifty years they are still looking for few more years to stabilize thier zone. Then they have a problem

North East l mean, not the entire North. North East has been plunged into the Boko Haram war.

The what redevelopment plan is for. Anyway this restructuring talk is cool but I don't like how people want center power to Governor. The fact is without local government autonomy it going to switching to new set of thieves. Restructuring must include grassroots development at its core. Then there will be no excuses.

and that war cost the south a lot of wasteful money that states in should have use to develop it people.
