homotayo11: You people are so evasive and slippery...it's difficult to pin you down on any issue! See you asking what RESTRUCTURING is as if you don't know! You pretend not to know because you know a RESTRUCTURED Nigeria would remove the stranglehold you have on Nigeria; would make politics and governance at the centre less attractive; and would allow regions/states to have control of their resources and destiny and progress at their own pace...thereby leaving you lot behind if you don't pull your socks up! RESTRRUCTURING Nigeria simply means returning to the status quo pre-1966....with a few adjustments given present day realities! Simple! |

homotayo11: There's resource control is how a regional gov't works, each region has access to all the resources within their territory n then give a certain percentage to the centre, Wen we had 3 regions, Each region sends 30% of their revenue to FG and keeps the remaining 70%. |

PrecisionFx: Stop lying. Gowon only created additional states. The abrogation of the regions was done via unitary decree 34 that turned Nigeria to a unitary form of government that everyone looks towards the center. May Ironsi rot in the deepest part of hell fire |

phase1: Stop re-writing history. Gowon didn’t create DECREE 34, that was done by Ironsi. The decree effectively turned Nigeria into a Unitary form of govt. Gowon created states just to break the power of the regions. |

gurnam: He created Decree 34, your beloved Gowon came and created Decrees 8 and 14. Yet you blame Ironsi but praise Gowon? You yorubas can be hypocritically obtuse atimes. You are only blaming Ironsi because he is Igbo nothing more. You must be really dense to hate Decree 34 and then love and tolerate Gowon's decrees 8 and 14 and hail Gowon as a hero. Your revisionism and hypocrisy will be laid bare. 2 Likes |

General Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) Decree 1966. Decree No 1 dated January 17, 1966 but not published in the Official Gazette until March 4, 1966. He then issued public order Decree No 33 dated May 24, 1966 which dissolved eighty-one political associations and twenty-six tribal and cultural associations. Once again, may Ironsi and his Igbo backers rots in hell Shortly afterwards, the Supreme Military Council announced that a senior government official, Mr. Nwokedi, had been asked to consider and to report to the Supreme Military Council on the establishment of ‘an administrative machinery for a united Nigeria’ and the ‘unification of the Public Services and Judicial Services’. Northerners were clearly not interested in the devilish act of Ironsi As a follow up on May 25, General Ironsi promulgated the Constitution (Suspension and Modification) (No. 5) Decree 1966. Decree No. 34 (the ‘Unification Decree’). After the promulgation, the country was thrown into turmoil and crisis which led to demonstration particularly in many parts of Northern Nigeria at that time. On his return to Kaduna on May 27, Col. Hassan Katsina was besieged with demands for an explanation. It was feared that in a unified service Northerners would be at a disadvantage. It was no consolation that the Decree provided for the delegation of appointments and promotions, except the most senior, to Provincial Civil Service Commissions. Ejoor saw tomorrow that Ironsi and his Igbo backers couldn't see Lt-Col. Ejoor was reported as saying that the ’National Government’ set up by the army was the prelude to ‘the re-introduction of a unitary form of government’ and insisted that it would create future problems. |

klax: To northern Nigeria, restructuring back to regional govt n 70% resource control is same as Balkanization of Nigeria. If u know, U know. Under Aguiyi Ironsi Nigeria had no states, Nigeria still had regions n each region kept back 70% of their revenue n developed independently. It was gowon that created States n destroyed regional government in Nigeria (with force). 3 Likes 1 Share |
