Yakubu Gowon, former Military Head of State, has asserted that the current composition of Nigeria makes it impossible for the country to be restructured. Gowon explained that Nigeria is made up of over 500 ethnic groups and equal number of ideas about restructuring; therefore, instead of agitating for restructuring, the people must have faith in the indivisibility of the country . Speaking in Minna, Niger State; Gowon further noted that most states will frown at the option of merging with other states for the proposed restructuring into regions to occur. He said, “Nigeria is made up of over 500 ethnic groups, languages and dialects and so many various groups called nationalities and they want restructuring. This restructuring everybody is asking for, we will have about 500 different ideas of restructuring. “There is call for restructuring to reduce the number of states to only a few either back to the old region or to the zones. “Those are some of the ideas that I do not know whether it will be possible for any state today to wish to be merged with another state. Let us see whether our politicians will see guidelines to be able to achieve what they want. “But I have my problem whether the states will be financially capable to they will be able to run there states properly.”

This is super storyyyyyy

In Tubaba's voice "ejeh ble jeh"

Jack as been dealing and making Igbos to wail and cry for more than 4 decades

Any zoneB waiting for nigeria to be restructured will wait till when fowl grow teeth.best thing is to divide this country.

am waiting to hear from my yoruba brothers.i stand for odua republic.

Old man go and sleep

When will these old men that have failed nigeria die and leave the younger generations to their fate, even at old age these men have nothing meaningful to offer after plunging the nation into a senseless war borne out of greed and hatred.

I rep Biafra

Gowon, opposing the peoples choice from time immemorial.

Gowon might be right after all , Nigeria cannot be restructured , options before Nigeria include a referendum , Notice how the attempt to devolve poer in spain failed now the catalan have declared independence

All these old criminals that have fed fat with oil money need to be wiped out for this nation to move forward

Mr. Gowon I know u are old but even when you were young, you have never been innovative.

We dont need to merge any state.
We just need to recognise the 6 geopolitical zones as the federating units and elect governors for them.

The 36 states can be renamed as Metropols and the governors renamed mayors. They would be the federating units of the geopolitical zones.

The 774 LGAs can be scraped.

The 6 regions would have control over their resourses and share revenue to both the FG and the Metropols

The FG can own all offshore resourses and share it among all regions and metros.

Simple.

Referendum is very different from restructuring....

In other news, I saw Mazi Kanu told in Anambra...

Something big is about to happen!!

This archaic man again

Gowon plunged Nigeria into a civil war and began the vicious cycle of state creation.

This is so simple and straight forward. But, wait oooo, why didn't you brother the drunk ineffectual buffoon husband of the grammarian cantankerous shepopo do these simple things while he was there for about 6 years? How come you all suddenly remembered restructuring and secession just after you lost the 2015 presidential election? Because there is no avenue for you thieves to continue looting the treasury you now think that you can divide the country. Dem never born your mama. You all must be joking to think that a Northerner will restructure Nigeria. Nigerian unity is non-negotiable.

They remembered it because they are just 5% and not needed by the major 97%. The buffon never divide Nigeria by any %. Paul called Peter dance and Peter went his way to make his own music...life.

Ok

stale. I voted Buhari

British really did a number on Nigeria with this big fool called Yakubu Gowon. This dingbat has never proffer any good reason toward the growth of Nigeria out of its moronic decadence.

The call for restructuring has lost steam. They(Nigerians) just pick every 'catch-phrase' they hear on the TV and over-flog it without looking for its meaning.
