I Agree with you. Ordinarily devolution of powers would have been an ideal way to ensure developments and efficiency of government, but given our present crop of politicians, devolution will be a disaster and might lead to unimaginable crisis. Ordinary devolving electoral powers to the states in terms of Local Government Elections, and the governors and godfathers turn the state electoral body to its electoral selection organ. So much so that the ruling party always clean sweep the elections. The last Lagos State Local Government elections was a sham of an election, most of electorate had no idea of the candidates in the election, in some centres no election took place, but result were declared. Now, imagine if the governors control the state police, the governors would terrorize all opponents. Already the State Assemblies and State Judiciary is already a branch of the governor's office.

You painted the prevailing situation but your argument is shallow & invalid.

This will eventually. The federal self inflicted burden will be too much eventually. If it's the north explain to them the benefits of having certain items in concurrent list. The Sout needs to firm coalition withe middle belt.

KANU is right. All those unity beggars shouting restructuring should come and see

You tell me why we must remain stuck because of the fear of governors' excesses.

Youngadvocate:


And you think it will happen?

You have forgotten that the same APC that gave us a working handbook of Restructuring during their campaign and swore to begin its implementation once voted into power, it is the same APC that set up a Committee to DEFINE Restructuring! Much so, headed by a notable campaigner against the same Restructuring.

Did you listen to Atiku Abubakar's narrative on Restructuring in the North West and the template he presented at University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Enugu, South East? Well, if you did, you would notice a total change in narrative in the two fiercely divergent Geo-political zones. Why? because, the North West which controls the Country with its over-bloated population cannot accept the same Restructuring canvassed by the South East.

By now, you should have known that the sound of political songs sang in Abuja, when one is in power is completely out of tune with the song the politicians sing out of power or when trying to get into power.

The only reality in all this is that our politicians have common unifying factor, SELFISHNESS. Once the ensure their comfort, whatever remains can burn into flames.

Nigerian Youths, WAKE UP! Before it will be too late to have our future secured.

At least, since the history of this Civilian Dispensation, I haven't seen any election period when children of our so-called leaders went to vote in an election. They have secured the future of their next four generations, who understand Diaspora as their permanent abodes. Yet, they want to dry-up the little that remains of our own future, not to talk of our kids.

I sense your passion buddie. This action by the senate will form the catalyst for disintegration of 9ja. Watch as the scene unfolds going forward.

Please don't tell me you're Igboo because you've just booked a date with Sango the god of thunder!

@mekaboy, wherever you are don't say I didn't say this before. Everyone but you seems to know how this country works. What do you have to say about this?

With the issues unveiling, it seems the only option available now is secession.

if they will not allow full restructuring then let go for referendum and if they say no yo that then it break up we can't continue like this as a country those that see what KANU sow will say thank you KANU, if you are among those that sees what KANU Sow hit the like button.

Nigerians must fight for their rights. Restructuring will not be given them on a platter of gold.

Saraki and his bribe taking senators he buys over will vote out devolution becos of his desperation for presidency. Senate?

To me this is the most important restructuring needed in Nigeria.

This is the time for all youths to demand for a true change.
This politicians dont care about anybody except their families.

Youngadvocate:

Over to you bigot youths...begin your ethnic ranting.

The earlier we understand that Nigerian ruling class are united against the masses, the better for us.
These chaps of no dignity and sense of service, who do not in the slightest sense, comprehend the essence of leadership; who have no regard for leadership values and human dignity, are just trapped in the ebb of selfish aggrandizement and capital accumulation to the detriment of the good of the majority. Our future is at stake!

The thieves at National Assembly, whether you like it or not have no regard whatsoever, for the plight of Nigerians, simply because they perpetuate themselves in power. They buy the offices they occupy and therefore, are answerable to their pockets and godfathers.

This is why I strongly support the Movement by Nnamdi Kanu, which seemed to be gradually changing the political narratives in Nigeria and has challenged the statusquo. Every youth should join hands together to champion this revolution against the crop of looters we have as leaders. Had there been justice, equity and equality in Nigeria which are prerequisites for meaningful development, there would never be any noise about BIAFRA, NIGER DELTA MILITANCY, BOKO HARAM etc. Note, all these groups are youths.

Nigeria as it stands, is ridden with injustices. Injustice of the rich against the poor, of the politically advantaged North against the politically disadvantaged South, of people with varying religious values. However, the more prevalent and domineering is that of CLASS. Ruling class against the ruled (MASSES).

They are using every power, narrative, style and ideology to ensure we remain underdeveloped, subjected to them so they could continue to have their way. That is why they have taken government away from us. If not, how many of us know the name of their local govts chairmen?
They don't want our political participation because they need no one to challenge them on the self-serving activities they engage in. Political apathy is what they want. Nigerian political system is WACKED, meant for the RICH. And, no one can change the STATUS QUO that favours him, unless forced to.

This is why the YOUTHS must unite against these folks. If YOU CANT JOIN TO FIGHT, AT LEAST SUPPORT THOSE AT THE FORE-FRONT with some ENCOURAGEMENT.

oshe11:
49 out of those 48 votes were from Northern Senators

Ahahaaa 49 out of 48

This is why I don't have any problem with Igbos fighting for the freedom of their own country except the hates campaign,aspect.
In all honestly these BIG Belle politicians need to be unseat and replace for crime against humanity and against the growth of this country.

Kilodiiii

Dream of weaker federal government to be drag around by smaller countries in the midst of community of nation, never forever, if 48% is not enough for the states and locals, they can labour for local revenue.

Youngadvocate you touched my heart with your comment. Nice one bro i love to hear/learn more from you. Can i have your email or probably phone number?

A few people have made insightful remarks about the dangers of devolving more powers to the states while their governors rule like dictators, and here I agree there's a serious problem. Devolution of powers is clearly badly needed in Nigeria, but an even higher priority than that is giving both state legislatures and LGAs genuine independence from governors: joint accounts need to be abolished, LGA elections must be mandatory (with federal allocations automatically blocked until overdue LGA elections are held), and INEC's mandate must be extended to overseeing the elections for state houses of assembly. The current setup where state legislators just rubber-stamp governors' proposals is simply unacceptable.
