These are just theories. They hold no real significance in how things truly work.

You really just talk about things without facts. How can you say that Kano and Kaduna do not contribute to VAT?

What has the dwindling oil fortune got to do with restructuring? Do states not have a responsibility for IGR generation already?

I do not see how the police not answering to the Governor affects anything at all. Ask how well the Governors have faired / are fairing with the funds and powers currently at their disposal. Aren't they the real reason the country is moving at a snail speed? Tell me, if we have 36 + 1 hyper working units, who would really care about any center? How well are the states applying the resources that they receive and generate?

There are rail links to the SS and SE, so I do not understand what you mean by 'begging' the FG for rail link up.

Why should any sane Nigerian be scared of the man at the center? It makes no sense.

There is nothing wrong with the states requiring approval to execute power, airport and / or seaport projects. These aren't Nigeria's
real problems. Are these why we have unending corruption? Is it why the public school systems are failing? What about healthcare and sanitation?

Is it why politicians are acquiring stupendous wealth and properties across the country and abroad, to the detriment of the masses? What has restructuring got to do with dishonesty in leadership?

You're behaving like you not in this same Nigeria where the Yorubas, The Northerners are scare of an igbo man ruling...weren't you hear when before 2015 election the Igbos where the Igbos voted in the majority for Buhari not towin simply because they were scare.
There is everything wrong for a state to secure permission from the centre govt before embarking on a capital project...it just like saying maybe New York have to secure permission from the American Govt before doing any top project.
It is everything wrong because the FG might reject it for any reason whatsover, maybe because Mr President is having some problems with Mr Govtnor. then the state suffers for that reason.
Because Education or sanitation haven't been given top priority doesn't mean other top project shouldn't go on.
Do your remember the Lagos rail system which the Lagos State govt wanted to build but had to go to the Buhari led Govt to ask Permission and permission wasn't granted and that project have to come to a halt, today Lagos State is suffering for it. that rail line would've solved alot of issues currently confronting Lagos transportation system today.

When we restructure the country, a new Constitution will be unveiled. a constitution that will hold those Governors or politicians to ransom. even if they like they should've a blood connection to Mr President they will still be arrested and persecuted.
A constitution whereby the judiciary will be free of the fg influence.
Imagine a constitution like the United States constitution where institutions of the state are powerful and not even Mr President can stop them from investigating and persecuting corrupt individuals.

If they're rails linked to the SE why then is the easterners clamouring to have rail linking their state either to each other or to Lagos?

If we keep the system of feeding from the centre states will not live up to their full potentials cause they will always be waiting for centre money. but when we restructure, each region will go back to the drawing board. on how to make money to sustain themselves and this will in turn make electorate vote people that have their well-being at heart.

CoolAmbience:
Is that your take?

I don't see any reason for a restructuring.

If regionalism was so perfect, what caused the country to go into a civil war?

Which constitution empowers a police Chief to defend an offending police officer?

Please, let's stop these unnecessary sensationalism.

How does states having their own Supreme Court affect the common citizen? Won't these courts still be hijacked by the states?

Governance is about accountability, transparency and rounded development.

And all these stuffs about accountability, Transparency and rounded development can't take place if every one is scare of who is in the centre. is a fulani man that is the president, the Igbos will be scare, if it an igbo man the north will be scare or if it a Yoruba man the Igbos will be scare. it doesn't make sense

And what I'm saying about Police chief defending an offending police man is that the police doesn't answer to the state Govtnors. check these SARS officers and what they did in Anambra state and you will see what I'm talking about.

About the development part. do you know Akwa ibom state needed a FG approval before we could begin building the seaport? so that's means if a President comes in that don't like my state he can make sure approval aren't given for capital projects that will develop my state.
Do you know Ex governor Akpabio spent allot of Akwa ibom money in building power plant to power the whole of Akwa ibom but when time came we had to send this Power to the centre so the whole Federation will share it? So it means if state A doesn't invest in power it will still reap the harvest that State B is supposed to reap?

Do you know a Regional Govtment would've made sure that say South south region is linked up by Rail lines instead of waiting for a federal govt to link it up.
Check out the East, they're begging the FG to link their region with Rail, don't you think a regional govt of theirs would've done that by now?

Because the first Regional system was dissolved doesn't mean it was wrong, it shows the military leaders of that time were short sighted.

If we don't restructure today we will all suffer tomorrow, Oil is becoming worthless and soon it will worth less than 10 dollars which will not be enough to offset our bills as a nation.
The truth is that when we restructure now eery region will start planning of life without oil money(Daddy's money) and so leaders that will come in will have to think of where to get money from, and there will be less stealing. Lazy leaders won't go in any longer (especially those outside the oil producing Regions/states)....
For all our good, we have to restructure now.

Why is it that Kano, Kaduna all these sharia state keep sharing money for VAT they don't contribute in? same VAT their sharia police keep destroying bottles of beers etc.
If you don't see restructuring can solve that then I can't help your case.

If we don't

Jega was very correct in his statements.

Accountability, good governance and genuine fight against corruption will fix most of Nigeria's issues.

The whole restructuring call is nonsense.

Ok na. keep postponing it. saying it nonsense. when push comes to shove and we are all tired of the country..we go divide.
but we're telling them now, save Nigeria from division by restructuring and bringing in a new Constitution.
A constitution where it won't matter the state you originate from but if you have live in a particular region or state for up to 10 years you can contest for election and vote to, be you white, brown, black, Christian, Muslim, Jewish etc. as long as the people there vote for you just as how it is done in develop world like the USA, UK, Germany etc.
A constitution where a region will have it own national guard(USA type) which will answer to the regional governor only. and the state leaders( like mayor ) will control the police..which entirely will be made up of people that is from the state or have live there for more than 10 years and swear allegiance to that state .
A constitution where institutions of the state will have enough power to even investigate a president ( Trump and the Russia election Saga)
A constitution where they won't be immunity for the Governors/ Mayors of any region/ state


A constitution where they won't be asking for Religion, State of Origin, language etc(Like the USA)

A constitution where each state will control their resources and make money from it and give a certain agreeable percentage to the centre govt. so each and every state/ Region will grow at it own pace not being slow down by a particular region.
A constitution where the federal Govt will only control the army, airforce,Navy,immigration, Foreign affairs etc..
A constitution where each state/ Region will build and supply it citizen power. so if Region A refuses to invest in power it won't affect region C.
A constitution where the state Govt or regional govt will invest in their own rail lines without having to go through the FG.
A constitution where they will be security for the people and they won't be scare of the fulani if they're in power.
A constitution that will make the FG very weak and the regional govt stronger....so the Igbos won't care who is in power or the north won't care cause they control their own resources and do what they like.
A constitution where every state will have it own supreme Court, high court etc with it own laws....just like the USA.
Every state law differs.
A constitution where even the police chief or govt will not be able to defend a Police man who kill extrajudicially etc.
A constitution where election will be free and fair and any politician who is caught committing election fraud will be dealt with and will be ban from ever participating in any election ( can vote but never be voted for) Politicians head go clear by force.

Bro when will restructure like this, our mindset will restructure too. no one will be blaming any region or state for it woos.

NkanAkpanika:
My brother you've said it all. I wish I was even paid, I for dey happy self but all what am doing is selfless to help showcase hidden tressures in the state. That why is sometimes painful when someone accuse you wrongly when your intentions are honourable. Again spot on.

Bro don't mind them. I'm following you bumber to bumber. keep giving us positive news about our dear Akwa ibom.
We are not there yet, we still have a long way to go but it doesn't mean we aren't in the right direction.

Manchester United back to the summit, so shall it end at the end of 2020/2021 EPL Season by the grace of God.

Amen.

Angelfrost:
Thanks for the image...

At least you acknowledge that where you are standing is quite precarious, ephemeral, and unsure!!!

Yes but we all need luck and I'm sure Good luck will shine on us.
We go win the league.., worry not.

Congratulations dear. na this kind ladies we the look for as wives, baba God give us them

I'm not bother cause I know Muslim/Muslim ticket will never fly and if it flies, then it means the north just shot themselves on the foot because come the next time it will be Christian Christian ticket to compensate the Christians for that.
Good luck to the APC though

Just checked lineup and I saw lindeoff in place of Baily who is sitting on the bench. how much foolish will that idiot man call sokjher be? Lindeoff that can't mark and can't put his body on the line. lindeoff that will take a player he is facing into his box into of going to meet him.
what kind of coach is this?
Well, to me have given up, Man United will lose this game because of the uselessness of that coach in putting lindeoff before Baily.

If they kill him nothing will happen. You personally won't do shit.

If push comes to shove don't you know the Vatican will support the Christians? and they get enough money to do that. and I'm sure America, Britain etc will come through for us so bro forget that thing. if e reach war e go affect everyone but I assure all the Muslims will.lose glaringly

Akilou:
Haba una still the this topic.. Where is that Urgly ape?

E dom run?

TheGoodJoe:
Bruno is having a good game but no way a better player than De Bruyne. Even you know that is a blatant lie.

This cracked me up though...

bro I'm not saying who is the better player. I'm saying just as Kelvin was the better player in that match, that's how Bruno was better than him last season when Man u met man city.
just accept that ma accept your own

TheGoodJoe:

By penalties. De Bruyne is ahead. Did you watch both in the last EFL derby? De Bruyne was a class above him.

You forgot to mention that Bruno was also a class ahead of Kelvin last season in our 2-0 Victory against Man City.
You forgot last season we beat man city 3 times ..why didn't you say d same thing of Bruno being ahead of him?
bro no be every day na him Bruno go turn up. him no be machine abeg .

Edora yet you can't live in it. Relocate from Abj to that place if owoo no go kill you in 1 month.

Why should I relocate? have your own Rivers people relocated from Lagos to Rivers?
Oga go sit down. I didn't compare Akwa ibom to Abuja. even Lagos can't be compared to Abuja then who come be Akwa ibom ?
So bro chill, by God Grace 15 years from now I will be investing in Akwa ibom.. planning on building a Resort there and also investing in the beaches. Tourism bro. Thereby contributing my quota to it growth.

There is actually nothing good about the state. Period!

I said what I said

Even a spoilt clock shows the correct time at least once a day.
so it can't be that bad.

obi58:
My brother I get your point but we have to put our trust in the Nigerian Judiciary and the principle of separation of powers.

The day you start trusting ant arm of govt that is the day you become a real fool.

Akilou:
I think that Urgly dude below @kinematic is the OP in a different moniker.
You talk of hate, haven't you notice that Urgly guys like @kinematic are always hateful.

Today is not the first time I noticed it
