forget all these calculations...
the single most important thing needed for restructuring to happen is for the southern elected representatives to speak with one voice and impress it on the nation, that restructuring is the sole demand of their people....
just imagine if a politician like Dino Malaye takes restructuring seriously....
imagine the ripple effect in that national assembly....


How many have they said
What has begin the outcome..
We are not going out of this union that easy by mere words from the south
It can only be achieved my a clean house reps from the south
Anyone soiled with corruption will be disgraced to stop the motion or blackmailed

Glad SW intellectuals are gradually standing up and please check the number of Professors, Doctors, Architects, SANs, Pastors etc that signed the advert.

Uh huh... and none of them will be willing to take up arms and lose their lives to defend this secession they are planning. Did they consult with the millions of people who will die (due to starvation, violence, illness) before making this irresponsible advert? Will they volunteer their own children to fight for the cause, or will they put them aboard planes for the safety of someplace abroad?

How long will our leaders at various levels continue to stoke the embers of violence from the comfort of their air-conditioned homes, and in some cases, from the safety of some European city?

And it's even worse: a Yoruba federation will find soon itself fighting for supremacy, just as Yorubaland was in the midst of a long period of civil war from 1830s to 1886.

The main thrust of the article is unemployment. Why not channel all the monies from these so-called leaders into creating factories and opportunities in Yorubaland? Is restructuring or secession going to automatically provide jobs and create industries? Can people from Yorubaland not sacrifice and not import foreign things (starting with rice, tin tomato), and instead promote locally-produced goods, no matter the quality? (at least to start). Is restructuring or secession going to automatically provide jobs and create industries? What about all the diaspora? Can't leaders in Yorubaland create special zones/estates for returnees to come and contribute in safety?

Let's even assume that the process will be entirely peaceful, and we can sidestep the years of violence and needless deaths, the funds to build/rent embassies, mint new currency, establish/convert parastatals, etc. to basically start a new government from scratch... could that not create a few really big factories to provide employment? Could that not provide loans to farmers to improve their yields? Could that not establish world class hospitals and research companies?

We like to howl restructuring and breakup far too often, because we don't really think through all the pluses and minuses. Even the money for this advert could have been better spent as grants to 10 young men/women to start a few garri-processing SME.

If they had a shred of integrity they would have approached their representatives to introduce areas of restructuring but once again they assume Nigeria is a dictatorship where the president can just order reatructure and it is.

Yoruba elders shouldn't follow the route of Igbos.....
It's a road that leads to nowhere...
Lack of strategic thinking was the bane of nnamdi kanu and his IPOB group....
The names I see there are educated personality who command great respect in the country....
Let them approach the Yoruba representatives in both house of assembly n deliver these message to them....
Yoruba people wants regional restructuring.....
Now let these representatives consistently raise it on the floor of the house....
Then the rest of us can back suport them and mount the pressure on the presidency....
The truth remain neither buhari nor the northerners can stop restructuring if we the southerners sincerely demands for it....
Waiting for buhari or sultan to call for restructuring is futile...
Nobody will do your job for u....
What I see is that southern politicians are not keen on restructuring and only pay lip service to the call....
Moreover, we southerners are also not interested in this change.....
because if we do, we will only send politicians interested in immediate restructuring of this nation to Abuja....
And if they fail to deliver the promise, we vote them out.....
I wonder what's so difficult about that....


Look at someone who said that the IPOB route leads no where but went on to write absolute nonsense. How will Yoruba representstives bring about restructuring? It does not matter how many times they raise the issue on the floor of the national assembly, they will never have the numbers to vote it into law.

Infact, even if the entire representatives of the SW/SE/SS in the national assembly came together, they still would not have the two thirds majority needed to vote a constitutional issue such as restructuring into law.

Restructuring is mainly a Southern Nigeria thing which is opposed by the North, and they have more than enough reps to vote against it.

At least with Nnamdi Kanu, the world saw agitation, massmobilisation, support and so on. Thats what gets result.

This talk of restructuring is a waste of time. If you want something in Nigeria, you have to agitate for it like IPOB or just forget it

Exactly.

I did not see any Obas names on the list. Without the Yoruba traditional rulers signing off the document is meaningless.

we are saying the same thing...
we southerners are not ready yet to restructure.....
when we are ready, we will send incorrigible and hardened pro-restructuring representatives to Abuja to fight our cause....

The northerners are not the one preventing restructuring....
The southerners are the ones procrastinating and playing the blame game...
we are not serious....
I think what we want, is for the northerners to spearhead the move....
That will never happen, they've made it clear they are not interested....
we need to force their hand.....
Look at what Nnamdi kanu was able to achieve single-handedly....
That boy shook the foundation of this country to the core and all of a sudden everybody was talking about restructuring, including the northerners....
Now, imagine we send 100 of Nnamdi Kanu to Abuja from the 3 regions in the south, and u telling me restructure won't happen....

For them to say Nigeria must be structured in less than a year speaks volume about their intentions and sanity.
