RESTRUCTURING NIGERIA: DECENTRALISATION FOR NATIONAL COHESION



Protocols.

Let me begin by extending my deep sense of gratitude to the Royal Institute of International Affairs, for inviting me to participate in this current series of discussions on, Next Generation Nigeria: Accountability and National Cohesion. The involvement of this reputable British Institute in discussing and proffering suggestions for extant Nigeria’s problems is not only commendable, but I believe most relieving for the British establishment, who must understandably feel a deep sense of vicarious responsibility for putting together a country confronted which such grim future.

Nigeria became a united British colony by the amalgamation of its Northern and Southern Protectorates in 1914. In 1960 it attained independence, fashioned a federal Constitution which had three and subsequently four regions as its federating units. The pre-1960 and the 1963 constitutions of Nigeria were fashioned by the people of Nigeria as represented by the leaders of their ethnic nationalities. The coup of January 1966 and the counter-coup of the same year occasioned by ethnic tensions and disagreements within the military-led our country to disastrous consequences.

Our first Prime Minister, Rt. Hon Tafawa Balewa and the then premier of Northern Nigeria, Sir Ahmadu Bello, as well as the then Minister for Finance Festus Okotie-Eboh, were murdered. A massive pogrom was unleashed on South Eastern Nigerians living in the Northern Nigeria. A sitting Head of State from the South East, Major General Aguiyi Ironsi and a governor from the South West Col. Adekunle Fajuyi were murdered. The military suspended our 1963 constitution and adopted a unitary system of government to fit their command and control structures. Opposition to this move by Southern Nigeria led to constitutional talks in Aburi, Ghana. The agreements reached Aburi were jettisoned. War broke out and claimed more than three and a half million lives mostly from the South East. After the war, the military-authored two more constitutions, one in 1979 and another in 1998/99. The two military constitutions were finally approved by the Supreme Military Council.

Under military rule, this organ was the highest legislative organ for the country. It was made up of senior military officers, a majority of whom were from Northern Nigeria. The last constitution of 1998/99 which the military approved was the legal instrument that governed Nigeria’s transition to democracy. It is still in use in Nigeria today. It was not subjected to a national referendum. It created 19 states out of the old Northern Region, 6 states out of the Western Region, 2 states out of the old Midwestern Region and 9 states out of the old Eastern Region.

An agreement by a constitutional conference convened by General Abacha divided the country into six geopolitical zones. This agreement was never incorporated into a legislation even though it continues to be adopted for administrative purposes by Government and the political parties. The creation of states and local governments in these six geographical areas did not respect any equitable parameter.

Our present constitution is not autochthonous. It was not written by the people of Nigeria. It was not approved in a National referendum. In jurisprudence, its effectiveness will score a very low grade on account of its unacceptability. Regrettably, it continues to hold sway and begins with a false proclamation, "We the People of Nigeria…."

Our present constitution was written at a time of unprecedented increase in National revenue following the massive discovery of oil in Nigeria and its global reliance as a source of fuel for mechanical machines. It had as its centrepiece, the distribution of national revenue and national offices using states and local governments as units for division. It constructed a federation in name but a unitary government in practice following the pattern enunciated in 1966 from the inception of military administration in Nigeria.

Competition and drive for production by the federating units was destroyed. Each state and local government waited every month for proceeds from oil generated revenue to be divided out to them.

The Federal Government became enormously powerful taking over mining rights, construction of interstate highways, major educational establishments, rail and water transportation, power and several infrastructural responsibilities previously undertaken by the regions. Competition for control of the Federal Government became intense and corrupted our electoral system. Corruption became perverse as the Federal Government became too big to be effectively policed by auditing and administrative regulations.

As I speak to you today, Nigeria has a grim economic outlook. Nigeria’s external debt has grown from $10.3 billion in 2015 to $15 billion in 2017. Her domestic debt has also grown from 8.8 trillion Naira in 2015, to 14 trillion Naira in 2017. Domestic debt component for the 36 states rose from 1.69 trillion Naira in 2015 to 2.9 trillion Naira in June 2017.

The Federal government has on two occasions released bailout funds to enable states to meet their recurrent expenditure requirements. Only about eight states in Nigeria namely Lagos, Kano, Enugu, Edo, Delta, Abia, Rivers, and Kwara have their internally generated revenue sufficient enough to cover their interest repayments on their debts without depending on allocations from Federally collected revenue.

For the Federal Government close to 40% of its annual revenue was spent on servicing of interest repayments on debts and according to International Monetary Fund (IMF), this percentage is expected to increase further. According to Fitch ratings, Nigeria’s Government gross debts is 320% of its annual revenue!! – one of the highest in the world.

In the face of this economic reality, the Population Reference Bureau predicts that Nigeria will in 2050 become the world’s fourth-largest population with a population of 397 million coming after China, India and the United States of America. This is only 33 years away.

In 2011, five Colonels in the United States Centre for Strategy and Technology, Air War College did a case study on Nigeria and the global consequences of its implosion and came out with a conclusion that, “despite its best efforts, Nigeria has a long-term struggle ahead to remain a viable state, much less a top-20 economy”.

Faced with this grim economic outlook and a structure inimical to growth what is, therefore, our way forward? Our growth model has to change for us to survive as a country.

A model based on sharing of Government revenue must give way to a new structure that will challenge and drive productivity in different regions across the country. This new model must take into account that the factors driving productivity in today’s world are no longer driven by fossil oil but rather the proliferation of a knowledge-based economy. The restructuring of Nigeria into smaller and independent federations limits and the devolution of powers to these federating units to control exclusively their human capital development, mineral resources, agriculture, and power (albeit with an obligation to contribute to the federal government) is the only way to salvage our fledging economy. Restructuring will devote attention to the new wealth areas, promote competition and productivity as the new federating units struggle to survive. It will drastically reduce corruption as the large federal parastatals which gulp Government revenue for little or no impact dissolve and give way to small and viable organs in the new federating units.

Those campaigning against restructuring in Nigeria have painted an unfortunate and untrue picture that those of us in support of restructuring are doing so in order to deny the Northern States who have not yet any proven oil reserves of the ability to survive. This is unfortunate. The new model we propose for Nigeria recognizes that revenue in the world today is promoted by two main sources namely, human capital development leveraging on technology to drive the critical sectors of the economy and agriculture. Ten years ago the top ten companies in the world were the likes of Exxon Mobil, Shell, and Total. Today the top eight companies in the world are represented by technology related companies. They include Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

The example of Netherlands in Agriculture is also relevant here. The Netherlands is the 18th largest economy in the world. It has a land area of about 33.9,000 square kilometres. Niger State, one of Nigeria’s 37 administrative units has about 74,000 square kilometres. Netherlands has over $100 billion from agricultural exports annually, contributed mainly by vegetables and dairy. Nigeria’s oil revenue has never in any one year reached $100 billion. Northern Nigeria is the most endowed agriculturally in Nigeria. Its tomatoes, carrots, cabbages, cucumbers, tubers, grains, livestock and dairy feed the majority of Nigerians in spite of its huge reserve of unexploited export potentials. In a restructured Nigeria, Northern Nigeria with the right agricultural policies will be the richest part of Nigeria.

Our analysis here must be viewed from the background that datelines have been fixed by OECD countries and China for the cessation of production of automobiles and machines dependent on fossil oil. This development and the new technology for production of shale oil in the United States has made world dependence on Nigeria’s crude oil a rapidly declining phenomenon.

This brings me to the question of what form Nigeria will assume under a restructured arrangement and how this restructuring can be brought about. Two basic models have been canvassed for restructuring in Nigeria. A conservative model aimed at maintaining the status quo has been proposed to mean simply a shedding of some of the exclusive powers of the federal government like issuing of mining licences, permission for constructing of federal roads and shedding of regulatory powers over investments in critical sectors of the economy like power. This model merely scratches the surface of the problem. It avoids fundamental devolution of powers.

The second model calls for a fundamental devolution of powers to the States as federating units and a lean Federal Government with exclusive powers for external defence, customs, immigration, foreign relations and a Federal legislature and judiciary to make and interpret laws in these exclusive areas.

This second model proposes states at the federating units with two different approaches. The first approach simply wants the states as the federating units and a federal government with limited powers. It wants the states to control a percentage of revenue accruing from their areas and contribute an agreed percentage of such revenue to the federal government.

The second approach proposes the states as the federating units with a region at each of the six geopolitical units whose constitution will be agreed to and adopted by the states in the geopolitical region. The regions will have the powers to merge existing states or create new ones. There will be regional and state legislatures and judiciary dealing with making and interpreting laws made in the respective political entities. This approach proposes a revenue sharing formulae of 15% to the Federal Government, 35% to the State Government and 50% to the State Governments.

To achieve a national consensus on this subject requires a national discussion. Regrettably, the ruling party, APC which promised restructuring in its manifesto after two years and four months in office is still appointing a committee to define what sort of restructuring it wants for Nigeria. To make matters worse, none of the other political parties have come up with any clear-cut route for achieving a consensus on this matter.

The National Assembly itself is a reflection of the deep ethnic divisions in the country and the Northern majority conferred on it by the military makes it highly unacceptable to Southern Nigeria. Recent resolutions made by it on devolution of powers have not helped the situation. Happily, the Senate President has promised a revisit of the subject matter.

In the recent past, self-determination groups have sprung up in Nigeria. The self-determination groups include IPOB, MASSOB, YELICOM, Arewa Youths, Niger Delta Republic and Republic of the Middle Belt.

Of all these groups IPOB and Boko Haram have been designated as terrorist organisations by the federal government. This development in relation to IPOB is unfortunate. Boko Haram is an armed organisation which has attacked and occupied Nigerian territory hoisted its flag and appointed local authority governments.

It has abducted and abused Nigerian w - -omen, kidnapped and imprisoned many and killed over two hundred thousand people. It is still involved in guerrilla warfare against Nigeria yet the Federal government is negotiating with them. No member of Boko Haram captured by the military is under trial. Members of this Federal government are on record for condemning the previous government for brutal murder of Boko Haram members and condemning the retired Chief of Army Staff for zealous prosecution of the anti-terror campaign. Members of the sect who confess to a change of mind have been received along with their abducted female partners in the Presidency and rehabilitated.

The declaration of IPOB as a terrorist organisation is in my view hurried, unfair, and not in conformity with the intendment of the law. Whereas I am not completely in agreement with some of the methods of IPOB like its inappropriate and divisive broadcast, the uncontested evidence given by the Attorney General of the Federation in an interlocutory action claiming that IPOB attempted and/or actually snatched guns from law enforcement agents are, if proven, merely criminal offences. They do not constitute enough evidence to meet international law definitions of a terrorist organisation. Happily, the United States Embassy in Nigeria only three days ago shared this conclusion and asserted that the United States Government does not recognise IPOB as a terrorist organisation. This same unarmed IPOB that is being stigmatised by the Nigerian government had its members murdered in Asaba, Nkpor, Aba and Port Harcourt simply for having public demonstrations without the federal government ordering a judicial inquiry. Instead, after I called for one and Amnesty International provided evidence that 150 of them were killed, the Chief of Army Staff set up an inquiry composed of serving and retired army officers thus abandoning the rules of natural justice which prescribes that you cannot be a judge in your own court.

The Igbos in Nigeria feel the treatment of IPOB as unfair, discriminatory and overhanded. They see the move as an attempt to encourage a profiling of Igbos in the international security arena.

We know of other self-determination groups in Nigeria that are armed and have destroyed government and private sector installations and wells that government prefers to negotiate with rather than label them as terrorist organisations.

Fulani Herdsmen otherwise called the Fulani militants have ravaged farms in Middlebelt, South West, and South Eastern Nigeria killing several farmers in the process. In January 2016 they killed 500 farmers and their families in Agatu in Benue state. In Enugu state, they murdered more than 100 farmers in Ukpabi Nimbo in April 2016. Photographs depicting them with automatic rifles trend in the entire world media, yet not one of them is facing criminal charges, nor is Operation Python Dance being conducted in the areas where they ravage and kill and the Federal government describes them as criminals and not a terrorist organisation notwithstanding their classification by the Global Terrorist Index as the fourth deadliest terrorist group in the world (see British Independent Newspaper, 18th November 2015). The London Guardian Newspaper of 12th July 2016 indicated that Fulani herdsmen killed one thousand people in 2014.

Let me seize this opportunity to once more thank the Royal Institute of International Affairs for inviting me as President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo to speak here today. In Nigeria, Ndigbo whose social cultured organisation I lead are, notwithstanding their historical experiences in Nigeria, the most loyal ethnic group to the concept of one Nigeria. We are the largest ethnic group other than the indigenous group in any part of Nigeria. We invest and contribute to the economic and social life of the committees wherever we live. We are proudly Christians but very accommodating of our brothers of other religious persuasions. We are grossly marginalised and still treated by the Federal government as second-class citizens. No Igboman, for instance, heads any security arm of the Nigerian Armed Forces. Our area is the most heavily policed as if there was a deliberate policy to intimidate us and hold us down.

Our endurance has been stretched beyond Hooke’s gauge for elastic limit. The deployment of the Nigerian Army under the guise of Operation Python dance to the South East was unconstitutional under S. 271 of the 1999 Constitution.

Deployment of the army is only allowed in circumstances of insurrection, terrorism and external aggression not in killing of priests, or fighting kidnapping. And in those circumstances where they can be deployed, leave of the Senate must be sought. This brazen impunity in dealing with matters which concern the South East is provocative.

In a White House memo dated Tuesday, January 28, 1969, to President Nixon, former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger describes the Igbos as “the wandering Jews of West Africa-gifted, aggressive, westernized, at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by their neighbors in the federation”(foreign relations document, volume E-5, documents on Africa 1969-1972).
Kissinger’s description aptly portrays the Christian Igbos and their experience in Nigeria. Over the years, the Igbo have been the victims of numerous massacres, that they have lost count. Most of the violence directed against the Igbos have been state sponsored. One can say that the Igbos knew how to spell “state-sponsored terrorism” before the rest of the world did. The state-sponsored terrorism directed against the Igbo in 1966, led to the declaration of the Republic of Biafra by the Igbos and subsequent civil war. Over two million Igbos died in the civil war, primarily by starvation. One will not be wrong if they call the Igbo the “Tutsis” of Nigeria. Today, an Islamic terrorist Conglomerate led by the dreaded Boko Haram are still slaughtering Igbos and other Christians in Northen Nigeria. Igbos have always seen themselves as a bulwark against the spread of Islam to Southern Nigeria, and as a result, a perennial target of Islamic zealots.
However, the Igbo are one of the largest and most distinctive of all African ethnic groups. Predominantly found in Southeastern Nigeria, they number about 40 million worldwide, with about 30 million in Nigeria. They constitute about 18% of Nigeria’s population, with significant Igbo populations in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and the Ivory Coast. The Igbo predominate in seven (7) states in Nigeria-Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Rivers, Abia and Delta.
During the slave trade, Igbo slaves were known to be the most rebellious. Most of the slave rebellions in the United States, Haiti, Jamaica, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and Guyana were led by Igbo slaves. In South Carolina, Igbo slaves were reported to have drowned themselves, rather than be kept as slaves. Today that place is called Ebo Island in commemoration of the slaves who died there. The Gullahs are Igbo. Igbo were one of the 13 African ethnic groups that provided the bulk of the slaves who were brought to the Americas. The majority of the slaves who ended up in Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee, Maryland, Arkansas, Mississippi, South and North Carolina and Georgia were Igbo. An Igbo museum has been built in Virginia to honour the contribution of Igbo slaves to the state. One of the Igbo slaves who was sent to Liberia by the American Colonization Society-Edward Roye- became the fourth president of Liberia. Another Igbo slave, Olaiduah Equiano wrote the famous slave chronicles.
During the colonial period, the British disliked the Igbo, because of their supposedly uppitiness and argumentativeness. During military service in Burma and India, the pride of Igbo soldiers amongst other African soldiers was proverbial. In the company offices and orderly rooms, the first few words from the White officer speaking to an Igbo soldier was followed by “don’t argue, you! Or “you want to be too clever”, and similar expressions. Their expressive and aggressive mentality which they enjoy in their culture at home does not always allow them to accept false charges or accusations without responding. The late famous writer, Langston Hughes, observed “the Igbo looks proud because he is bred in a free atmosphere where everyone is equal. He hates to depend on anyone for his life’s need. He does not mind if others look proud. He has much to be proud of in his land. Nature has provided for him. He is strong and able to work or fight. He is well formed. He is generally happy in his society where no leader overrides his conscience. He likes to advance and he is quick to learn. He likes to give rather than take”

Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman.

At how much brother?

If there must be an igbo forum, then I think an Igbo IT guru should set up an app like this nairaland and lock out those that are non igbos just as non Muslim have been locked out on nairaland Muslim forum.
* Also my brother, it's better we look at the realities on ground while we try to advance the Igbo agenda.
I don't want to sound IPOB but it's only through such means that our leaders can listen.
I wish all those who have criticized Nnamdi Kanu 's approach have proffered a better solution.

We have leaders that since the coming of imperialist, have been feeding fat on the masses.
They captured and sold brothers as slaves and even had to be fought by the same imperialists to stop taking slaves as its no longer a lucrative business since its abolition.
These leaders metamorphosed into warrant chiefs and did so many unspeakable atrocities. As if we haven't had enough from them as society advanced, so did they advance their method and approach of fattening themselves at the cost of the masses.
They deliberately sold us out because of the Ahiara declaration which made Biafra loose the war,.
Post Biafra war, the Igbos have endured untold hardship just to make out something from their 20 pounds and move forward.
These unscrupulous leaders have found their way into politics and for close to 20 years of " civil rule" the south east having collected billions of naira as allocation cannot boast of basic infrastructure.
No housing program.
No health insurance program
No roads
They even make the environment hostile to business .
They corrupt the masses and entice them with salt, rice and one thousand to vote for them just for public show.
There has never been any of them who genuinely won an election. They have since been anointed by the leaving king and the cycle is endless.
They loot public treasury for personal gain and guard themselves with both thugs, police and military.

My brother, the great Pan African revolutionist Thomas Sankara did say " we should date to reinvent the future for it takes the Mad Men of yesterday to create the desired change" ( paraphrased).

If indeed it's in Igbo blood to rebelious and have no regard for constituted authority as aledged by Lugard, then it means that it is in our blood to rebel against bad leadership and to have no regard for fraudulent and oppressive constituted authority.

We must change the Ignorance nation from within.
We must reorient our minds.
We must keep fighting injustice anywhere we see it.
There can never be peace without fairness, equity and justice.

And like always, nothing will eventually happen.
As long as no one has been held responsible for war crimes committed during the Nigerian -Biafran war, which is now called a Civil War because they want to delete the name Biafra from history, I assure you, nothing will happen.

Until the Igbo elites are raped in the ass they will keep prostrating for their Northern slave masters.

Naija is the ludus of Quintus, Lentitus, Batiatus.

Why can't medical expenses be free based on insurance so that Nigerians will be going for psychiatric check ups. Obviously the kelechi had some disorders.
He can't even argue that in court now coz he doesn't even enough know about it. Just thinks he is hot tempered

We have past restructuring.

It's Biafra or nothing.

The man who wanted to make another's administration ungovernable have indeed made his ungovernable.

Karma na waaooo

In the last days, perilous times shall arise. Men will be shameless, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God.

Very bad action by the man fucking a fellow man in the ass as aledged but truth be told, majority of the African populace are mentally challenged.

The public there are even more mentally challenged than the gay man himself.

I sorry for Africa

Keep complicating your life by bringing it to social media, by now you are even more confused because of the baradge of advice you have got. You will not even be able to form a sound opinion now.
*Leave the marriage
* Send the messages to her fiance.
* Leave them alone.
Black, bla, bla, which one you go do now?

Your life will never remain the same.

Live a simple life knowing that motals are imperfect beings striving towards perfection and you will trascend lowlife rubbish.

People should know that humans can cheat and however painful cheating is, its not enough for a sane person to his/her sensibilities.

Many couples you see celebration jubilies overcame cheating and the world continued.
Don't end your life because of cheating.

I married with less in 2008, I am blessed with a beautiful wife and 3 wonderful kids now. I now own my house with tenants and the family have 2 functional cars.
People may not understand you but I am a living testimony.
God bless your marriage. He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from God.

Africa wake up.

When on internet, there are lots of advice.
People don't really understand like the man wearing the shoes.
Bros, its all happening in your mind. Do your best to free your mind and then fill it up with good thoughts.

I am on my lane
Its well brother, suicidal feeling is just a feeling but sucide is not an option.

OP I was going to offer you an advice based on this post till I checked out your previous post " married but lonely "

I have also checked your choice of words too. Also note that no one has heard from your husband so this is really the issue with " A one sided story".

You maybe right in your assertions and intentions but you are indeed a nag. Your approach can never get your husband to act or dance to your tune. Didn't you know he loves games and that he is a jolly good fellow when you agreed to marry him? Must everyone aspire to be Dangote before enjoying this short life?

Abeg free the man joor, if you can't be a wife to him, free him as that's what has always beenbon your mind.
The boyfriend or man friend you will get as you are looking for will still get tired of your nagging and run away after digging your well deeper again.

Enjoy your husband and stop trying to tell him how to run his life as if he is a slowpoke.

Some mumu women will disagree with the OP but the OP is right.

notohatespeech:
Everyone is responsible for his or her actions.

In almost every community, there are good people and there are bad people. So it is wrong to blame a community , tribe or religion for the actions of one of theirs. There is hardly any tribe or religion that endorses bad behavior. It is therefore improper to result to name calling, or attacking an ethnic group or a religion because a member was involved in bad behavior.

So if anyone is involved in Murder,kidnapping,terrorism,hard-drugs,farmers-herdsmen clashes/ hard drugs trafficking ,rituals,419,money laundering, embezzlement, rape or other vices, only he or she should be blamed and held responsible and not his community, tribe or religion.

Let's say NO to “Hate Speech”.

You may need to define what hate speech is.
If you err and I tell you to your face that you have erred, is it hate speech?
When a particular religion have decided that to make heaven with the promise of virgins, that they should behead those they consider infidels and I cry out, is that hate speech?
When a particular occupation decides not to follow international best practices but invade my farm unannounced and damage my crops and kill anyone who asks why and people cry out, is it a hate cry?
When a particular region decides to colonise other tribes and they cry out against oppression, is it a hate cry?

A sincere cry for justice is not HATE.

Humans have really lost it.
Redemption will only come from the prophesies of the Bible.

ivolt:
You sleep and wake on "feminist" issues when you don't even understand the meaning of feminism.



No sane man or woman will surrender to a knife regardless of what people will say,
even the most docile of humans protect their lives when necessary.

Self-defense is not beating your wife to stupor because you are a man
and she is "disobedient", self-defense is protecting yourself from
physical harm wherever it may come from.

You guys should stop excusing domestic violence.

No need to reply a pained feminist who thinks she is the only knowledgeable person solely vested with the dictionary meaning of the word FEMINISM.

We don't know the meaning of feminism, even with dictionary and Google. You are very intelligent please keep being intelligent. My prayer remains the same- when your brain begin hot and needs reset, let your man be docile and may you send him to early grave. May the same faith befall your brothers and sons. - since you have resorted to insults, U should know you don't have monopoly of insults like your baba who started hate speech but is now against hate speech.

Quote me again

Feminist who rant that a man shouldn't hit a woman under any circumstance will avoid this thread.
I pray the brothers and sons of such women go this way in the hands of their fellow feminist.
I don't support a man hitting his wife but I know most of them fobit to reset the brain when the virus is already life threatening.
