CatchMeIfUCanMO:
I think regional government will be better.

why
We alresy tried that
It ended in violence

DIVINEEVIDENCE:


Comprehension is your problem.

Which region has ever fielded and supported visibly incompetent politicians from their region to be presidents other than those two I mentioned?

You're simply out of your warped mind. Do you think Nigeria started in 2015? Or you think we don't know the long history of your tr!besmen? BS!

Cromagnon:
we have 37 regions
In fact 774

Good. The larger, the better!

DARLINGTON869:


Which is better...to continue to spiral into a horrible mess than before or to find a solution. I just don't get why we can't just keep sentiment aside for the good of all. I am Igbo. If I were to be sentimental or one sided, I would have been clamouring for Biafra on this forum day and night. But I know that secession is a dead on arrival move. So why can't we reason together and find a solution out of the horrible mess we are in. It is very obvious Tinubu is clueless as to how to fix Nigeria. Even if Peter Obi were to have won, it wouldn't have been a roller coaster for him. Agreed..The previous administration messed things up. But Tinubu must stop with the blame game and sort things out. If he can't fix things which is evidently the case everyday, then let's restructure the whole thing. If parliamentary system is what will save us, let's try it out.

I thought all the matured and sensible minds have left Nairaland.. Thank God we still have people like you around . That was well said oga!!

Elder statesman abi elder state thief.

Hiss.

I asked a simple question in plain English.

Answer it and leave all those unnecessary rants and insults.

Cromagnon:

There was no violence anywhere in the regions except in the SW. And it was sponsored by the North against Awolowo. Each region was competitive and things were far far better. Go and read history.

Now that the North see their grip on power in the Presidential System reducing or being lost forever, they are proposing and supporting a move to the Parliamentary System that we started with but was rejected along the way. They want to leverage on their dominance in the Legislature to have a permanent slot as Prime Minister.

Belial06:
Okay someone needs to explain how this is cheaper to us laymen .🤔

you dey mind dem
All the savings on no presidency will all be spent on prime minister lobbying for position

richiemcgold:

Parliamentary is not the solution. We should be talking about regionalism and unicameral legislature.

we already have statism. No need for region

CatchMeIfUCanMO:

I know, I just want them to start work regional government first before going towards parliamentary government, and not parliamentary government before regional government.
That way, any of the governments excesses can be checkmated if not caged sef like someone said two comments away.

Do you get my point?

you already have 37 nay 774 regions
Shishi you no achieve

savcy:
If it happens I'm certain it would be 200% better than the Presidential system.

[b]

Any din it work the first time?

. It won't solve all our problems, but it would permanently set us on a path to real progress. After that, maybe we discuss regional government.

We already have 774 regions

. We need to understand at this point that, we either 'die' by maintaining this socialist styled fiscal arrangement where everyone goes to Abuja to collect FAAC allocation at the end of the month, or, we breakaway from each other and allow everyone progress locally with the FG standing by to aid.

Nobody forcing you to go to Abuja o
Na laziness dey worry una

. We are at the very cusp of something perpetually great or damning.

We will survive
We always do
So threatening
Ordination endsars una gentle

. From this point, this country either dies or it starts on a path that brings true prosperity forever. Everything that can make this country work should be in the conversation moving forward. Enough of this militaristic protectionism of government.

There will never be a time the military will not protect the polluting
So still dreaming

. We need to move forward. Nigeria is crying to move forward, because it has all it needs. [/b]

crocodile tears
Nothing stopping you from moving forward

You are basically saying the same thing. Parliamentary system came with regional govt as stipulated in our original constitution.

LordIsaac:
The North is tired of life outside Power so soon. This is funny indeed! He should back regionalism, not parliamentary system! Simple.

Whatever puts an end to this current scam called Nigeria is welcome by me,

Nigeria is feudal-fascist system not American system.

Every state in America runs its own education, police, elections, army(National guards), resources control, social programs, Identity cards and only pay federal tax which mostly still goes back to the states. You have 30 days to get another state drivers license and Id card after you move there, this is how they plan for the residents. Nigeria is a scam.

akanbiaa:
Good time to abandon the American system we copied.

ifytrik:
This is the first sensible move made by our senators of lately, parliamentary government is what Nigeria really need right, they(senators) should also sponsor a bill to reduce the salaries and allocations of all political office holders in Nigeria, anything to reduce the cost of governance is a welcome development.

It's not senators yet. The bill is still at the green chamber, that's house of representative.

It's your G'forsaken region that have done it, albeit as slaves to their masters, over and over again.

You must be a kid, as no one conversant with Nigerian history will spew such an asinine response to the question I raised.

I don't engage folks who insult and curse more than they adduce or refute.

There is nothing cerebral to be gained from discussing or arguing with you.

Kindly stay off my mentions.

Be bold enough to give the true account of Nigeria political history from inception to date and stop asking a daft question. Not everyone you can turn the history upside down for.

then why did they change it if it was only in the west
There was no competition
South west was making it difficult to loot by executing projects so others were forced to copy badly
Nothing stops states or local govts from doing same,but keep waiting for Regions you hear
Things were only better because we hadn't wrecked what white man left

That's why Regionalism should be restored. As you said, the region had to improve when they saw other region improving. Whereas today, the states see several other states not doing much hence won't even bother. Of course the states should still stand with the state governors but it should be in a region with a competent regional leader. First , it would be easier for the regional leader to easily oversee the states under him while mapping out the developmental and productivity plan of the region and also ensuring each state governor is doing his task of improving the state he govern.

What some governors who lack oversight don't even know is the more they invest in the production of the state such as industrialization which also includes agro industries in combination with large scale mechanized farming, the economy and wealth of the state will improve the more, thus making things easier.

Dsimmer:

We already have Regions
What is wrong with your brain
Are you not reading what I'm writing? Or are you blind

As you said, the region had to improve when they saw other region improving. Whereas today, the states see several other states not doing much hence won't even bother.

So whose fault
And if you go back to 6 or 3 regions with these Same politicians you think any of them will do any different? What can they do as Regions that they cannot do as states?

Of course the states should still stand with the state governors but it should be in a region with a competent regional leader.

Where will this competent regional leader fall from
Is it not these same clowns that will emerge

First , it would be easier for the regional leader to easily oversee the states under him while mapping out the developmental and productivity plan of the region and also ensuring each state governor is doing his task of improving the state he govern.

What stop the president from oversee the states under him while mapping out the developmental and productivity plan of the region and also ensuring each state governor is doing his task of improving the state he govern. ?

What some governors who lack oversight don't even know is the more they invest in the production of the state such as industrialization which also includes agro industries in combination with large scale mechanized farming, the economy and wealth of the state will improve the more, thus making things easier.

Easier for who
They already easy
It's you that is finding it hard
Them Don Japa
You're the one doing sapa
