Nigerian Youths Should Be Talking Restructuring, Not Presidential Election by richeso: 3:46pm On Apr 22, 2018
I don't know why many youths left the important thing to talk and push for but stupidly engage on presidential election bu.llsh.it

Nigeria doesn't have any BAD person, but BAD system. we need to change the BAD system to work for us else "changing the driver always doesn't mean we get a safe and prosperous ride, lets change the car itself first"

Restructuring is the ONLY way to solving all Nigeria problems. if we ignore it and start talking on presidential election ( as many idiots are already waiting for bribery ) we will keep on rounding and rounding the field of failed state.

every New mind to positive change should understand the urgent need to change the failed system to a working, equity and fair system that benefits ALL. we will truly have a United States of Nigeria if the youths, you and i today push for restructuring rather than presidential election.

my opinion.

thanks for reading.

Nigerian youths are not really sure of what they want. They're more like sheep....easily led by moneybags and the political and clerical elite. They face whichever side their bread is buttered.

Of course there are exceptions to this norm, but they're quite negligible to be able to make much of a difference.

There is no point talking about restructuring when it will never happen in Nigeria. Asking for restructuring in Nigeria is the same as asking for snow to fall in the Sahara desert, it's possible but highly unlikely

Yes the system is bad but it favours the North, particularly the core North, to the detriment of the South.

The only organ of Government that can effect restructuring is the National Assembly and the North has more than the enough votes to stop restructuring there. Just the core North, the NW and NE, has about the same votes in National Assembly as all of Southern Nigeria combined. So how are you going to get restructuring unless they support it? Which they won't.

Ojukwu went Aburi 50 years ago to restructure Nigeria. He got a signed agreement. He came back to Nigeria and the North said no to it.

So anyone who wants restructuring will face the same choice Ojukwu had to face, fight for your freedom and then restructure your self, or stay in Nigeria and accept things the way they are or the way the North wants it.

There are no two ways about it. You can talk about restructuring for the next 500 years, but as long as the core North says no it, it will just end in in talking

there's power in the youths vote and not in constitution. many things happening now in Nigeria is not in the constitution.
if the youths needs REAL CHANGE. then the system must be changed constitution or not.

its not part of the Nigerian constitution for us to pay terrorists or release a confirmed terrorists as repented. it happens because we want it so.
if only Nnamdi Kanu's issues can bring about push for restructuring as at then. how about if the youths in general push for restructuring ?

I disagree with you it can happen if you and i are in full support of it. Those opposing the opinion are not the youths but the OLD criminals who are stealing and making huge profit from this failed system that the youths are suffering now.
Power doesn't belong to the North because they have high amount of members in the assembly. there's no way plenty lies can kill small amount of truth. truth will always prevail. North has vote you will say but the south has everything else. voting doesn't make final decision it just on the table talk and not on the real world where only civil unrest alone ( like in the case of Nnamdi Kanu )will effect. assume we have 100 Nnamdi Kanu fighting for #restructuring ? assume it its not just the east now but the entire south east and south west and south south ? will the north vote chance anything when the full South say yest to Restructuring ?

You cannot have 100 Nnamdi Kanu's fighting for restructuring, nobody is going to come out agitating and taking gun shot wounds and risking their life for restructuring. People will stake their lives for a new country, for freedom and for a new begining. But nobody will come out for restructuring. That is why there has never been one single protest for restructuring. There's no way Nigeria will ever be restructured, not now or ever. The core North will never allow it.

Yoruba are the only people calling for restructuring/regionalism, and that was exactly what we asked for at the 2014 national conference. The SS asked for resource control which was the closest to what Yoruba wanted. The NE, NW & SE know they can't survive without Nigeria, reason they are against it. The North central and other southern minorities aren't too sure of what's in restructuring for them. The people who are afraid of regionalism know it's the quickest way to secession and are scared to death to be on their own, and that's the real reason we are stuck right now. For tribes in Nigeria to be in charge of their lives, something big has to happen in either SW & SS, these are the two regions holding Nigeria.

Amin oo!

It's a game of number but like Harriet Tubman said, some still don't believe they are in slavery and some won't mind to remain slaves as long as they have Yoruba held down with them. So leaving us gunning for the only option left, that is blowing the shhitt up.

It will take violence to get world powers involved, and once they are involved, they are always on the side of wealth which makes Yoruba the winner. We need to take the first step and the rest will be history.

World powers will protect their businesses in Yorubaland once Yoruba are serious about this. The Hausa, ibos and fulani have nothing to offer the West, Russia and China. And we will make it clear that if ibos support the Hausa and fulani, they should consider everything they have in Yorubaland as spoils of war (not like biafra when all their properties were returned) and there will be no future trade relation with strict visa requirements put in place. Yoruba have so much bargaining credits we are not using to our advantage.

Yorubas are funny people. In the SW/SE/SS, they are the only people who have never had the backbone to take up arms against Nigeria.

Is it now they will have the spine to do so?

Yorubas are only good at talking, they will talk about restructuring just like they have done since Aburi 50 years ago, but it will only end in talk.

We are not like you who hear sound of thunder and throw away all the water in the house. We are not going to do anything your way but the way it has to be done. We have given you too much room to grow, and it will take some serious work to remove you weeds around our plants. We don't need to take arms against fg, but all we need is to punch holes in your food bowls that are firmly in our hands and the rest is history.
