It's a pity. Northerners don't want restructuring but why?

Because they will suffer more...

Those NDDC they control will fall out of their grid.

And federal allocation they get from Oil will reduce

His proposal will cause problems and conflict. Instead of agreeing to restructure with the present regions still intact, his idea is to grab more territories from the south south to the South East in the name of some so-called igboid group. That alone will spark a conflict. The guy has the typical Ipob mentality, which will definite cause chaos.

The thing is regionalism is the best. We can't continue having so many states and LGA's, as well as thieving governors and senators who contribute nothing and feed like locusts on the budget. So, let the country be divided into regions not exceeding ten in number, the final details to be worked out later and with each region handling its own resources and remitting an agreed percentage to the center.
You are worried about conflict, but do you know that our senators and house of reps consume over 1 trillion yearly, and that's without mentioning the amount they steal via budget padding and bribes. Now, imagine such amount being invested in something tangible.

1. Recognise the six geopolitical zones as federating units and order INEC to conduct elections to elect their governors. I will name the SE zone as Biafra state, SW as Odu'a state, SS as Niger Delta state, NC as Middle Belt state, NW as Arewa state, NE as Kanuri state.

2. The current 36 states will become metropolitan areas and the current 36 governors will become Mayors. I will scrap entirely the current 774 LGA arrangment. The current LGA chairmen will go to the new six state assemblies as legislators. The councilors will be dissmissed.

3. Return Ilorin and Kabba to Odu'a state. Asaba, and other Igboid part of SS will be conceeded to Biafra (to quell unnessesary agitation). Ijaw part of Ondo will return to Niger Delta state. The fulani part of Kwara and Niger goes to Arewa state. The Christian part of Taraba goes to Middle Belt state.

4. Oil found in any land within Nigeria will belong 50% to the host community/metro. The offshore oil belongs to us all! Therefore the current sharing formula will continue. The 36 Metros will still get what they are currently getting from offshore oil, while the new six states will now get what the LGA where getting before. So a state will get only the amount that would have accrued to the LGA it had before.

5. Some NPF police officers will be transfered to state service as state police. Same will be with some prison wardens. Many of items on exclusive list (such as energy and power generation) will be moved to concurrent list to allow states participate. Only defence, foreign affairs and currency operations will be exclusive. Because of this, the oil revenue share retained by the FG will decrease to give more to the 6 states and 36 metros.

6. Increase the number of senators to 115. The extra 6 will be one first class king from each of the 6 states. Such as the sultan, ooni, obi, oba of benin etc. The new 6 states will have houses of chiefs to be made up of the remaining top monarchs in the zone. Any monarch not included will be considered irrelevant and derobed.

By this, agitations will reduce grossly to give government at each level chance to do its job. Also the unaccounted waste by the current 774 LGAs will stop. The FG by this arrangement sheds power, but not enough to make it irrelevant. By this also Biafra would have been given to my people, Niger Delta would have been given to SS and Odu'a would have been given to SW.
off shore belongs to us all? funny dude. turning logic on its head. if you didnt have a country with people around that area would you even dream of owning anything whether on or off shore?

walahi Buhari has no future plans at all the most annoying part is where the leaders tendered the challenges and the mumu man said he blames people who are not in the country but have access to media imagine?? and they will look into appointing an urobo as a minister and he called their clamor a selfish agenda!!, he gives no regard to their cry, they came with an idea of which is it agenda is implemented and practice it would solve most of their problems as well as other problems the country is facing and this is all blunder called Buhari n his gvt has to say, they person that will vote for PDP, APC and Fulanis for presidential seat again come #2019 and other years may the anger of God descend on such person and group Amen. we aff enter one chance this is not the change we wanted God epp us

So the urhobos trekked all the way from Warri , abi na sapele to beg the President to appoint one of their sons or daughters as minister!!! shocked how petty. Trademark urhobo.

I thought ministers were appointed on the basis of senatorial districts of each state, so which minister do these tribal-baiting, inconsequential lots want Buhari to sack to replace their son with ?

This was how these same people protested in Obasanjo's administration that a "True Deltan" should be given the ministerial position in a cry against the minister from Delta North.

How Buhari said: " you people will not be forgotten".

What an epic condescension from the President grin

Restructuring that Nigerians want that is suppose to move this country forward is being blocked by the Oligarchy that want to maintain the status quo. This was the main reason GEJ was hatred so much by the political elites in Nigeria (He attempted to share the national cake to common citizen). They started Boko Haram and blinded the gullible with shouts of corruption.


But today Nigerians a dying in mass from government forces, the Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram but they say nothing and the corrupt suddenly turn to saints when they switch parties. The tells us something they never cared about Nigeria or the future of its teaming young population, their only concern was to maintain the status quo.

the biggest fear of a yoruba man is to see Igboland united. If the Igbos in delta state want anioma state, why not gv them? And if anioma state is added to se region to make it equal with other regions (with d consent of the aniomas) wat is wrong in dat.

If the igbos in rivers state want to join the se region thru a referandum, why not? If yorubas in kwara or kogi want to join their brothers why not?

Who will spark the conflict? Was there conflict when mid west voted to leave the western region or wen south cameroon voted to join their brothers. How can u just restructure nigeria without giving ppl d final chance to choose which region they wanna join. Ur job will be to campaign and ask ss igbos not to join se. Their own duty will be to vote.

Nigeria has its continental water because of the landmass called nigeria. If ijaw was a country, it wont have all the offshore nigeria has. Why do u think the oil bel9ngs to nigeria and not cameroon?
