The North are threatened already. We cannot move forward with this current arrangement. We cannot tolerate a mallam or Alhaji in power again. Regionalism is the key!

Why do I have the feeling that even if we restructure, with these same sets of politicians we still going nowhere

These guys just want to be feeding fat on the country's resources

Imagine that Lagos alone is doing fine than about 50% states in Nigeria, but all governors and political appointees are living large

If we can be prudent and bring in accountability perhaps we might not really need the restructuring

impossible!
instead miltary will takeover as the north will never allow such,restructuring is just like semi-seccesion

The North started restructuring by introducing another constitution. They say it is their right to have sharia in a Federation and a Southern president granted them their wish.

Now the South is yearning for fiscal autonomy and devolution of power. Let any man prove that Is against the constitution in a federalism.

The truth is that Nigeria has lied so much to itself without success, not it is the right time to take the bitter pill. Nigeria must be restructured whether the North likes it or not.

The unity that accommodates Sharia should also accommodate regional autonomy, which was the basic foundation of this country, let no man deny it

Even the blind can see that this is the only viable way for Nigeria to get out of this mess. Everyone fend for yourself! This will encourage a lot of investments and Govt would have no option but to think of how to drive its state to generate funds. In no time, jobs would be flowing everywhere or hunger would bite very well. I just Dey explain for people wey no really understand advantages of restructuring.

Well said…

Nigeria's root problem is foundational. Due to the demographics, unfortunately we are people who uphold our ethnic, tribal and religious affinities above national identity and ideologies. If nothing else proves my assertion I believe the sentimental support of the Yorubas to validate illegality by pushing a dubious character like Tinubu as President, the lingering injustice on Nnamdi Kanu by government disobeying court orders, Biafra agitation, Niger delta agitation and the Fulani herdsmen bloody pogrom validates it. What we need is justice for the country to heal there so much oppression and injustice in Nigeria. I strongly feel that we can achieve this through restructuring.

For peace to reign and to foster prosperity, we need a new decentralized system of government. I hope and wish that Nigerians will push for restructuring instead of waiting for 2027 to participate in another rigged election that will bring back our oppressors….. Time is running out for Nigeria…..

SoNature:


Stop heaping all the blames on the north all the time. Tinubu is the president and APC holds the majority of both houses.

If Tinubu is ready to implement the El-Rufai report on restructuring, it will certainly enjoy a bi-partisan backing because this is something the South South states (who have mostly PDP representatives) have always wanted.

DMerciful:
Tinubu has been shouting restructuring since the 1990s. In fact, he had problem with Obj because he wanted to restructure Lagos local govt but Obj refused.

So why has Tinubu kept mum now that he is in a position to do what he has been shouting for ages? Was it all pretense as a negotiating tool?

This is the post I am looking for. Tinubu only solution to Nigerian issues has been Restructuring, I learnt about it from him but I am surprised this is the only word he totally wiped out of dictionary during election and after election.
I think I understood that the word Restructuring have different meaning to different people in the country and to some extent means extinction to some other group.

If there is a President that began his mission on restructuring, I would Tinubu is the man, but I guess from what I have seen nowadays,
The problem with restructuring is like same with all Nigeria issues since 1961, the powerful federal might is like the hobbit ring, - " too addictive to think sideways"

The word "Restructure" sounds like an exploded grenade to ears of the thieving politicians.

While struggling for the actualization of this regional government system and while condemning the north for not wanting to see that happen, let’s also curse the mumu Igbo man (Aguiyi Ironsi) who scrapped the system for his selfish, tribalist interests. Nigeria would have been much more prosperous and happier if he hadn’t taken that disastrous selfish decision. Las las, na ibo put us for this mess yet they are the ones crying for devolution of power now

Akwamkpuruamu:


So we should not restructure? Is it not easier to hold your Governor more responsible than the man in Aso rock?
