You Want Nigeria Restructured? Better Read The Constitutional Requirements Here by gidgiddy: 6:12pm On Nov 07, 2019
A lot of people talk about restructuring Nigeria but have no idea the hurdles that must be overcome in other to do so. I have always told those clamouring for restructuring to forget that idea because the core North, the NE and NW, have the largest control of the national assembly which is the only place Nigeria can be restructured and they are totally against restructuring

In other to restructure Nigeria, the constitution must either be changed or amended. Section 9 of the Nigerian constitution lists the conditions that must be met to change or amend the constitution: -

Section 9: (1) The National Assembly may, subject to the provision of this section, alter any of the provisions of this Constitution.

(2) An Act of the National Assembly for the altertion of this Constitution, not being an Act to which section 8 of this Constitution applies, shall not be passed in either House of the National Assembly unless the proposal is supported by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of all the members of that House and approved by resolution of the Houses of Assembly of not less than two-thirds of all the States.


In other words, to restructure Nigeria: -

1) 72 Senators
2) 240 house of rep members
3) 24 state assembies

Must all vote to pass it

Do you still think Nigeria can be restructured?

Of course we know their motive. Southwest and north will resist them come 2023. 2023 its turn of yoruba to produce president. 2030 hausa will take over again.

Being slave is a good Bussiness... Now some loyal slaves love the system..and prayerfully wish it remain same..not that the benefit from it.

But being slaves shackled from neck to post..means heaven to them...to them freedom is hell.
So they wish ..only if all would be slaves...it will elevate them and dia masters will.consider them loyal..even with the resounding whips that comes hard on their bare back.

Kudos to loyal.slaves..suck up the balls..lick up the asses..and eat the shit..

Just know
.slavery only runs in the blood.. Nigerians will be free..someday..and freeborns will enjoy dia liberty.

Stop broadcasting your illiteracy in public. Ironsi neither destroyed and government nor introduced unitary system of government.

7 yoruba speaking with 1 state with significant population
5 Igbo speaking with 1 state with significant population
6 southern minorities
5 middle belt minorities

..and continue the demolition of Nigeria till it's final demise.

Are you not ashamed of what Nigeria has become after you have been ruling since Independence?

According to you, Aguiyi ironsi an Igbo man created unitary system of government and so it enabled the Yorubas with their education, hijack the ministries and parastatal, while the north only cared about power.

And ttogether they superintended the rape of Nigeria and the result is what you have.

Shame indeed!

Democracy as practiced in Nigeria is deceitful and disempowering, fraudulently skewed to favor a particular peoples.

Imagine you can't produce or sell alcohol in Kano, but Kano shares from VAT from alcohol paid by southern states and in turn use it to recruit hisbah police to arrest and jail those who sell or drink it in Kano.

In other for a revolution to hold, the people must have unity of purpose. Such thing does not exist in Nigeria.

If you talk about revolution in the core North during the regime of Buhari, you may be lynched
