For those who believe that Nigeria should be restructured, better be aware of what it entails. In other to restructure Nigeria, the constitution must be changed, and a new constitution that recognises a restructured Nigeria, adopted.

However, before that constitution can be officially adopted, and restructuring effected, the following must happen:

1) At least two thirds of the state assembly of the 36 states must vote to adopt it(24 States)

2) At least two thirds of the 109 Senators must vote to adopt the new constitution(73 Senators)

3) At least two thirds of the 360 member House of Reps(240 Reps)

If any of these three steps fails, its game over


With the 13 states in the core North against restructuring and controling 40% of the legislature, anyone who is hoping that Nigeria will be restructured is wasting their time.

We need more states, all ethnic groups should mark their territory and form a state. Ijebu should have its state, Birom, Egba,Gwari, Tangale, Ikwere etc.

Let every ethnic nationality develop at its own pace.

If they restructure or not it won't stop Boko Haram from launching deadly attack on the North. It won't stop bandits from wrecking havoc in the North. It won't stop the menace of Fulani Herdsmen. It won't stop the system of Almanjarinci. It won't put an end to the disease and poverty ravaging the north. It won't stop the imminent farming that's about to besiege the North in 6 months time. It won't kick away Polio, blindness and leprosy. It won't stop the North from being an educationally disadvantaged region. It won't erode religious fanatism.


These are just but a few of the constant things in the North that will continue to linger on if they continue to carry on like they're used to.

The 2 greatest Strengths that God blessed Nigeria with are TRIBALISM and RELIGION.
They are as powerful as Lightning. But Like Lightning if not put into good use, they become dangerous.

Only few states in the North can cancel the whole southern votes
This is what Nnamdi kanu has been arguing for ages against other softer agitators.. The best option is direct referendum.
