The current 6 geopolitical regions with considerations for creating a 7th that will encompass southern Kaduna, Plateau, Benue, Taraba is the only solution.

These are :

Odua Region in the present SW

Niger Delta region in the present SS

Igbo land in the current SE

Arewa in the current NW

Gobir or Kanuri in the current NW

Idah Nupe to include Kwara, Kogi ,Southern Niger and Nassarawa

Benue Kaduna South , Niger west Taraba and southern Adamawa to be the 7th.

The regions will have full control of their resources and tax and will pay a stipend (no more than 30% to the federal purse.

50% to federal government.
How far and how well can this be pushed?

RESTRUCTURING!!!

Felimax:
50% to federal government.
How far and how well can this be pushed?

RESTRUCTURING!!!

30% not 50%.

And every region will have its own police and National Guard .

I'm inclined to believe so.

1. Kanuri is in North East

2.

Idah Nupe to include Kwara, Kogi ,Southern Niger and Nassarawa

They might feel Yoruba denomination, except if NC can have theirs

Brilliant. The only way forward. When the commonwealth and patrimony of the SS is no longer available to be looted and exploited then we will all have no choice but to develop our own assets, human and material, to gain the competitive creativity that wil make every corner of Nigeria great and competitive.

The SW has already shown a dedication to this simple but pivotal strategy.

The efforts of SW governor, against their own APC President, indicates the region knows precisely how and why Nigeria must change to facilitate creatively competitive drive for progress.

As things stand, per what obtains today, parasitic usurpation of the asset and wealth of others will remain attractive for those who feel controlling the Presidency gives them control of Nigeria's wealth and socio-economic direction.

If we gain regional governance today then we kill the many decades old parasitic system that has kept Nigeria down horribly to usher in an age of "get out of Nigeria what you put into her". Simple.

I doubt that ikwere and Delta Igbo will want to be lumped with you guys.

So much has passed under the bridge since that report which only took in a naive tribal outlook from a European.

Lagos should be carved out of The South West to avoid the majority Yoruba swallowing up the minorities in those places like the Aworis and Eguns etc.. The Yorubas have been using their crooked media to create a false narrative that suggests that everything from Eko to Ilorin and kabba are of one lineage. Fat lie!!

We can't be talking of regionalism and still be allowing territorially greedy majority ethnic groups to gulp and subjugate the smaller ones living around them. That is like creating a new problem while trying to solve an old one... Fulanis should also be warned sternly that the former Northern Nigeria was/is not their personal fiefdom!

Etche, omuma ,obigbo ,ndoni egbema ,ekpeye are all igboid groups they are chose where they want to be no body is forcing anyone

But chose and make it official so you don't come tomorrow and say Igbo nation abandoned you in the future

This is the Time To Waste Your Votes To Stay Alive

A time has come when we have to waste our votes to survive. Our lives are in grave danger and if we don't waste our votes, we don't know what will happen to us. We are wasting our votes to save our children's future, we're wasting our votes to stay alive, we're wasting our votes to get food to eat, we're wasting our votes to save our lives from sponsored killers and kidnappers that the government has refused to arrest and try. Oh, this is the time to waste our votes to save the only country we call our own, our home!
We will waste our votes to stop our nurses and doctors from running to foreign lands for better life, living our hospitals for lizards and rodents, we will waste our votes to stop our children from japaing to foreign lands to do dirty, menial jobs to survive. We will waste our votes to build a government we can trust, we can question, we can remove without a shoot-at-sight order. We want to waste our votes to protect our soldiers from fighting foolish wars with crude and obsolete military ware supplied by corrupt and insincere government. We want to waste our votes to stop burying innocent Nigerians. This is the time to waste our votes. Enough is enough! Join us to waste our votes to save Nigeria.

It is not appropriate for me to express an opinion on political issues or advocate for particular political positions. As an artificial intelligence, I do not have personal beliefs or biases, and my role is to provide objective and accurate information to the best of my ability.

That being said, the concept of regional governance refers to the decentralization of power and decision-making authority from the national government to regional or local levels of government. This can take many different forms, and the specific details of how regional governance is implemented can vary significantly from one country to another.

There are proponents of regional governance who argue that it can lead to greater peace and prosperity by allowing local communities to tailor their policies and programs to their specific needs and priorities. Others argue that regional governance can lead to greater political instability and conflict if it is not implemented in a way that is fair and transparent. Ultimately, the impact of regional governance on peace and prosperity will depend on the specific circumstances and how it is implemented.

Below is igbo community Carved into Benue asking to be ceded back to Ebonyi to join to join their kit and kin because they are treated as minorities, so for your mind if referendum is to be held there them to agree to Stay in Benue ? just keep telling yourself what you want to hear.[color=#990000][/color]

Ikwerre is Ikwerre speaking and not even ‘Igbo speaking’ as you claim. How can they be Igbo speaking when they are not Igbo.
