Is there any man who is detribalized and without sentiments?
We Nigerians we have a way of sayings things to our taste.
I am so so happy that both the definitions of "resource control and restructuring" are not defined in any dictionary as used by we Nigerians. One will have to read certain materials separately in order to come to near clearer terms to its true meaning.

Restructuring is nothing but an ambiguous word used and one can only bamboozle an infant with such use of terms.

There is no such terminology as Complete Resource Control"..............it is tautology.

Resource control is embedded in Restructuring and you cannot prescribe Restructuring without implementing Resource Control except you have full fledged sentimental ulterior motives.

It is only in Nigeria where we do not copy good things to the latter.

Like I tell my friends......if we are not doing it the right way then we should not do it. There's no room for patch patch.

If we still want to confuse our senses with the word restructuring then I think Nigeria as a nation should try to read the history of UAE and how dubai,etc,etc........became a tourism city for everyone.

Though I do not subscribe to reading any external article based on the subject matter till I see the "RESTRUCTURING TEMPLATE". I will leave this link and attached file for those who care to read.....

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/07/what-is-restructuring/

#ourmumudonoverdue#

Basically, withn the Nigerian context, different people have different idea, expectations and intentions, of what resource Control is and what they expect from it.
That is the bottom line.

So, when you hear different people from different regions saying 'Restructure Nigeria', one needs to tread carefully and ensure that in accepting that idea, you are accepting what they want and what you think they want.
Both, as we have seen, are not necessarily the same thing.

BTW: I am still interested in anyone can explaining to me, How Resource Control (as in na our oil, so it belongs to us and we are the ones who can explore it and sell it and get the proceeds) can be achieved in present day Nigeria, without any use of force.
I mean, in practical terms.

To me, l think the idea is unrealisable right now, now that every part of the country still depends on that same commodity the "owners" want to arrogate to themselves.
If we remove resource control out of what we want to restructure, l think it will make the restructuring of the nation, along th elines of equity, fairplay and justice, realisable on time.

Everyone is addicted to Crude Oil and the cheap money it brings, it will take more than some agitation to give it up to just one region. grin

I have heard it said in some quarters that rather than let those claiming ownership have it all alone, 'they' are willing to destroy it altogether so that no one can have it.

Reason l said, it will take some 'use of force' to sort this thing out. undecided

No mind am jare ��, they cannot debate! All this GEJ supporters.
Back to property matter I bought 12mm today at 145,000 per tonne to site, 10mm 150,000 to site in ibeju axis of Lagos

Which proves what we were arguing about some weeks back, that these iron rods, despite being same weight (Per Tonne), come in different prices.

I am just wondering if a time will come when 'we the people' can begin to ask anyone who needs something that is left over from our build (as long as they can transport it) to come and pick it up.

I know they do so in some countries where people can give out anything or exchange it for something else they need or sell it for next to nothing, to other people that need same.

There was a time I had too much iron on my own site (bought too much because of the expectation of rise in price) and it became a nuisance because l could not store the rest when the building finished.
I was asking around if anyone wanted building iron (even even dug-out sand from the Soakaway needed evac) and everyone sems not to want it at that moment angry

I was lucky eventually as one person ask me to bring it (I was like you should be the one coming to take it since l am giving it out for free!).

So, if there was a website that l could just say "hey guys, free iron if you want, just bring your own transport".
That would be real cool because it could be my turn next time.

The southern lawmakers voted against the devolution Bill some weeks back. Who is deceiving who

That is the problem!

We say something to please the crowd and then do another thing when the chips are down.

The same Lawmakers will be the ones who will come on TV to tell "the masses" that they must retsructure and the masses would ignorantly think it means that the money realised from selling crude Oil will begin to be shared 'from house to house' in their area. grin

I will summarise the kind of restructring l want to mean: Where everything is put in place to make Corruption so difficult to practice, that most people will think it is not worth the effort.

For example, most state corruption would earn anyone a death penalty in China, hence you dont hear that Politicians steal money meant to develop the Villages and Towns.
Just imagine one person looting $1.2Billion?

Who are even really the greedy ones here...
Those whose resources are taken to develop another land, while their lands are left in a total state of degredation....Or those who think presidency is their birthright, when they offer nothing but war, all because of their ridiculous beliefs....

You are too sentimental with your thought-process!
-When you blame "them", but fail to blame your own Governors who get 13% of the total resource from Crude oil sales and yet have nothing to show for it! They cant even compete with Lagos for development! shocked

-You dont balme your 'sons' who head NDDC and loot the money that the "born to rule" allocates your region for developmental purposes?

-You dont blame your militants who destroy Pipelines on the basis of agitation for resource control but when Govt allocates money to them directly, to develop their locality, like Asaru Dokubo, they use the money to go nad build a University in another country (Togo), when they could have built it in the south South so that it provides education, employment, business for your people?

- When you blame the Northerners, You dont blame your leaders like Mama Piss who laudered Millions of Dollars into so many accounts ($35Million in one account) while claiming it was an inheritance from her Grandmother who sells roasted plantain along the roadside.
- You dont blame people like Dezzianni Allison Madueke, who as Minister for Petroleum in a Govt also headed by a Southerner from the same area, who looted the resources meant to develop your area and used the funds to buy Estates, mansions, and fleets of luxuries in foreign countries?
You dont blame your own son of the soil, who was President in this country ofr nearly seven years yet he could not transform his own state, not to talk of his region into what it should be? Is he going to blame the Northerners as well, for not providing you with drinkable water in Ijaw land or Gbaramatu kingdom or in Yenogoa or Bayelsa?
If a Northerner President can do all the road in the North, what stops a Southerner (moreso a South/southerner!) from doing the same when he was President? Instead, he turned himself into an ATM without Pin-code, anyone should come and share money President. grin

I bet you will tell me it is okay, as long as the thief is "one of our brothers" from the South South.

Let me tell you the TRUTH here, even if you hand-over the purse from the sales of Crude Oil to the South South (as in 100% Resource control), they will still be undeveloped and backward simply because the thieves like l mentioned above, will still be the same ones controlling the funds but this time, they would be awash with more than enough funds to steal. grin

A man's worst enemies are members of his own household!

South Sudan asked for Resource contol, when they were under Republic of Sudan.
They said all these things being rehashed by peole from the East and South South.
Eventually, by some stroke of "bad luck", they got their wish and as of today, the same people are REFUGEES in the Rep. Sudan they said they wanted to leave and that it is robbing them. grin

What happened? Their "own set" of Dezziannis, Asari Dokubos, Petersides, Jonathans, and other 'smart' looters simply looted their resources on a more grand scale and plunged them into further inter-clan wars and inflcited more hunger an dfamine on them.

This is why l say resource control is not the solution (it is just a bunch of greedy and selfish cabal pushing the gullible folowers into thinking that will solve their hardships!) but if we can tackle corruption effectively, treat ourselves with "fairness, equity and justice thereafter", all other things will begin to fall in place.
I have even heard some say that when they secede, they reserve the right to live anywhere in Nigeria! shocked

You made mention of REGIONALISM, what is the difference btw federalism, regionalism and decentralisation?

I dont want to go on a lecture but l will oblige you a short answer.

Federalism - like we operate now (Powerful Centre, we contributing units)
Regionalism - Like we operated pre-independence or just immediately after it (before the Nzeogu Coup, Eastern region, Western Region, Northern Region, etc).
Decentralisation - Moving power/control from the Centre, to contributing units like Regions, States, LGA's, e.t.c

johnson232:
Those kicking against restructuring are the greedy ones, not those agitating for it.
We all know why they don't want it, because they all have oil blocks in the south

If there was no crude in the south, nobody would have kicked against restructuring...Therein lies the greed.

If we remove sentiments, which tends to becloud our judgement or understanding of the fundamentals of the constitution, you will agree that so many different groups/people, have diverse opinion, understanding and even intentions, of what RESTRUCTURING is.

So, if you say it means A, then your understanding and arguements will go in that direction, which may not be in tandem with that of someone whose understanding, opinion and intentions of the phrase is.

But anyone who says RESTRUCTURING is the SAMETHING as RESOURCE CONTROL, either needs to go back to school or keep being mischievious!
It is evident to say "Resource Control" can be implemented as part of our Restructuring, just as many other things can.

That is why l said, those who want Resource Control are greedy because they know they will never get it under the present scheme of Nigerian Constitution and how the country is run but they chose to hide their REAL INTENTIONS under Restructuring. undecided

I wont go into details a second time (l have explained what the objective was and what the strategy is and why l concluded it is borne out of Selfishness and greed.

Mind you, l am not saying it is "Just and Equitable" the way things are being run right now or even thirty years ago but l am saying "wholesale devolution of resources to their catchment area is inpractical right now, impossible to achieve (except by the use of force) and therefore unrealisable.
Crude has been in the South since 1953 or even earlier (Oloibiri Oil Well) and there was no agitation for Complete Resource Control, back then.
Now, Nigeria, like a child brought up to suck its mother's bossom, cannot be weaned-off-it by fiat, suddenly or just because someone wants it.
It will take a lot of drasctic action from the Mother, father and other related members, to achieve such but it can be done, if doen gradually, with honesty and good intentions.

That the South/south or East sees the Oil as an opportunity to corner a very lucrative earnings hitherto enjoyed by the whole country, for a far smaller fragment of the Nigeria-setup (themselves), does not mean it is good for everyone in the polity or it will be achieved easily, just by mouthing or agreeing to restructure, as cover-up for their real intnetions.

Right now, Complete Resource Control can mean an "existential threat" to those who have been accustomed to depending on it, without making provision for an equally lucrative or at least "viable alternative".
Even when such provision is made, it will take some time to make it work to the satisfaction of all.

But we can always apply the "use of force" to achieve our aim, as some groups are trying to; my only problem is that it will give rise to very unpalatable consequences.

How can the people agitating for restructuring be greedy?

How can a state like Lagos that generate the buck or non-oil revenue (0ver 60%) receives lesser money than a state like Kano state that contributes close to zero and with anti investment policy( they don't allow alcohol, they don't allow gambling and these are the major contributors to the supposed money they come to Abuja to collect on monthly basis)?

How can oil producing states that financed over 80% of our budget be greedy for demanding to have more controls or total control of the resources available in their land, a supposed resources that pollute their water, rendered their air contaminated, areas with more challenging terrains to build infrastructures? They deserve to have a 100% control of the resources in their land. I am from South west and from a state with no oil resources but restructuring is the only way we can put more people to work.

The 'status quo' needs to be changed, the era of inflated population by a section of the country to gain political power and more money from the federal government need to be stop, the era of do or die politics to become a president and occupy other federal political positions in other to loot needs to be stop and the only way we can achieve this is through 'true federalism'

People agitating for resources control or restructuring are not mostly from the so called south eastern and Niger deltas, but rather they are consigned young Nigerians that as grown delusional of lack of opportunities due to poor governors resulting from a flaw central system of government where a section of the country do all the work while the other part lord over, promote primitive ideology and always want to dictate the pace for the nation.

I am a Yoruba and a Muslim but I want a restructured Nigeria where every section can grow at their own pace, where the central government wouldn't be too attractive for criminals so that every elections year Nigeria will not always be at the edge of disintegration, where the ethnicity or the religion ones follows will not be a yardstick for selecting one for elected position at the federal leve l

I gave reasons why l said they are greedy and selfish.
You need to tell me why you think they are not, stating your own reasons.

You probably have difficulty with understanding the meaning of Resource Control: I want to be in charge of all resources mined or sourced from my area. (That is not the 80% figure you are peddling around).

You also probably did not read where l said my own definition of restructuring is defined based on EQUITY, FAIRNESS and JUSTICE for ALL.

Where you are from, should be irrelevant in this discussion as it is not about who you are as a person.
You can be from anywhere and still support or oppose restructuring, the important thing is to define what you are saying succinctly and get your view across.
What l bolded in your post above is called Regionalism, not Resource Control.

When we were debating pressing political issues, some members here were busy reporting our comments & deleting them. What is the construction industry of a nation without a sound economy? Na who no chop go build house?

How can we get a sound economy without addressing issues affecting the political landscape? This conutry is heading towards only God what direction.

Our last hope is restructuring, because the divide is too much to curb at this level & instead of the president to address it, he is busy makng mockery of those that protested in London, which warranted his return, because he doesn't want to devolve power.

Make 2019 come abeg, Nigerian can never move forward with a president with such a high level of conservative mindset.

It all boils down to how well informed one is, in General topics and current affairs.
Its not everyone that is interested in Politics and General Affairs thus they may be short on "input", when such discussions are raised.
But instead of staying on the sidelines and reading so as to improve their knowledge, they prefer to shutdown those who posses the ability for such discuss, by pressing report Button over and over again.

That is the Nigerian syndrome in us, "If l cant have it, then no one must have it" .

Now, we have always disagre on where the problem lies (you like to see as witch-huntig of the previous administartion headed by your kinsman, when we say they laid the foundation, to a large extent, for the economic woes we have suffered in the last two years) but l agree with you that the polity needs to be restructured.

Restructuring itself should be based on Equity, fairness and Justice for every Nigerian.
But if you look closely, you will observe that noone wants to bell the cat and tell ourselves the truth.
What people call Restructuring right now is nothing more than a display of Selfish Greed.

Some people look at Nigeria and like members of a family, think that they should be the "family purse" so they can spend as much as they want, whileother members ofthe family go struggling and trying to meet up.

The TRUTH is that Resource Control is what most people (especially those from the East and ND) selfishly and greedily construe as restructuring! Its never going to happen, at least not in the next ten years.

Some others see retsructuring as Regionalism whereby Each region has and operates its onw Confedral Systemof Govt.
Like Resource Control, it will also put some "members of the family" in jeopardy and as such, they wont just keep quiet.

What l see as Restructuring is:
1) tackling Corruption in a way that ensures that Politicians are not attracted to Politics for the sake of the amount of money they can make from it. Make Public office financially unattractive so that only those who have real love to lead (and are even ready to spend their own money to make things work) are coming forward. Put the structures in place and dont let it be about a "strong man or personality"

2.) Have sero-tolerance for corruption such that like it is done in China, stealing Public funds should attract the death penalty.

3.) Remove "state of orgin" from any form Nigerians are filling. let every Nigerian be a Nigerian despite the fact that we all know where we come from but that should not be a ticket/barrier to any publci offering. Remove Quota system and all sorts of "educationally disadvantaged" excuses from admission toour insitutions. Let any area put forward their best persons and let there be open competition.

4.) Most importantly, let us return to REGIONALISM but in a way that it does not cause chaos.
The Crude Oil is th emain problem because over soem decades now, the whole nation has come to depend on it and take it as the only source of immense wealth. No Region can or must be allowed to pay claim to it FOR NOW.

Fed Govt should set a 20yr period under which ALL the proceeds from Crude oil is shared EQUALLY by all states, while the time is used to develop alternative source of income for all other non-oil producing states.
This is the only way to prevent war breaking out when some Region try secede with the Crude Oil

With time, every region will find its own source of income and stop depending on Crude Oil.
Once you remove the Crude Oil income from the equation, to restructure will be very easy and no one will even want to run Politics at the centre. undecided

5.) purge the Nigerian Police of all these drunk, mentally unhinged criminals in its rank and recruit "medically and psychologically evaluated" Graduates into the Force. Have stiff penalty for bribery in the Police and Judiciary. Set-up sting officers that can catch and summarly dismiss such bribe takers.

6.) First, educate nigerian on hate Speeches and then pass into law, stiff penalty/jail terms for those that spew hate speeches in the name of freedom of speech.
7.) Make Recalling of Politicians very easy, by their constituents. Cut-off all alowances and excessive perks

8.) Deal decisively with all those challenging the authority of our nationhood, be they Odua, IPOB, AREWA or Creek Militants

I will even suggest we operate a quasi-military-presidential system for fixed 3years, to set things right as full democracy, as practiced in Nigeria today, creates too many loopholes for criminality.

The above is my own vision of restructuring.

As long as the blocks are of good quality, there is nothing wrong with that building.
There would have been problem, if only the builder had place 9" blocks ontop of 6"blocks.

Everything does not necessarily have to originate from a Textbook!
there is what we call "good practice" in cosntruction and these are time-tested practises that have yielded good results over time and hence, they become what we call "Rule of thumb".

Using 9" Blocks for External (load-bearing) walls and 6" blocks for internal (non-load bearing) partion walls is one of such.

Thanks alot for the advise bro. That is exactly my plan. Yet even for renting out. I just wanted to know if laying 6 inch blocks on 9 would have any structural effect whatsoever in future.

Like Johnson has said, what is not good for you, is not good enough for anyone, tenant inclusive but l am sure that was not your intention.

Now, there isnothing that bad in mixing those blocks but it would have been better if they did it the way you instructed - 9" Blocks forr the Perimeter and 6" Blocks as internal dividing walls.

Since the house is already Up to Roof level, l will suggest that you ask Masons to knock down some areas (Angles, corners, and areas that are prone to weight-bearing) and insert Columns in those places.
Personally, l think l would never condone a house, Bungalow or not, not having Concrete Pillars at the Four Corners, as a minimum.
The ground can heave, underground seismic effects are unpredictable and while it may start somewhere far from us, deep underground, its effect can befelt at the ground level in areas we are certain are "solid grounds" because such fractures arising deep within the Earth's crust can split right across state boundaries sef!

With Columns in the right places, you are sure that cracks will not suddenly show-up, on small seismic heaves.
keep the house to serve its purpose, do small adjustment here and there and you are good to go.

Regarding the Headbeams, it is a good thing BUT in your current state, it will only worsen the situation because you will be putting a Concrete Beams (so to say) on just blocks!
Such Concrete Beams are supposed to rest on Concrete Columns so that the weight/Pressure is transmitted right to the groun, from roof to Beams to Columns and then Foundation.

Next time, do like Egunmogaji, do your build only when you are around otherwise, you can never be too sure of what the "Nigerian Engineer will do"! They will remind you that "this is how we do it here, Oga. undecided

That is my own opinion.

Does it not occur to you chumps that he was acting the role of his Mother's father.... giving his Mum out in marriage, most probably to his own father?
I am sure you people have seen a father walking his grown daughter down the Aisle, when giving her out in marriage.
Does that mean the father is marrying his daughter?

I don tire for Nigerian Yoots, especialy the IPOB ones. angry

Kaduna south is Christian dominated so you won't see igbos leave there much. Same thing goes to the middle belt that is Christian dominated. It is in core muslim north that igbos will leave much.
We value our Christian brothers so much irrespective of tribe. That's why you you see some igbos here separating Yoruba christians from Yoruba muslims in their attack.
Personaly i see northern christians as my brothers. Same goes for other tribes.

Abegi, stop using that Fake Christianity to deceive yourself!
How can you claim to be a Christian yet you hate others ?
Yorubas dont care whether you are Mislim or Christians, Yorubas love each other and other people... unlike you hateful Yiibos.

Actually not all Christians are your friends. See 1.02mins

Nnamdi Kanu is a coward.
In the video, he said he wants to burn Nigeria to the ground, USING WAR AND VIOLENCE OF A KIND NEVER SEEN BEFORE!.He even threatened Yorubas directly and said anyone worshiping under a Yoruba Pastor is not fit enought to live!

Yet the coward is claiming that IPOB is not violent and not threatening anyone?

Well, l gat news for you, there are more than enough evidence of Hate Speeches, at the least, to put this Piglet away for fifty years if the Judge is too linient otherwise, the Piglet should be sent to the gallows immediately.

do they think we are going to leave our unmovable properties to them never , we will return north to it former self... undeveloped landlocked oil barren desert , I have started demolishing my fathers houses in kano , they will be left with nothing ... what am I going to lose nothing absolutely nothing, I blame my old man for investing in that unproductive region

What manner of foolishness is that?

Your father laboured all his life in a foreign land, he built a house and his "hate-filled, prodigal, ignorant son" is demolishing it simply because he thinks it will be of benefit to those he hates!! shocked

What about selling it?
What about renting it?
What about even giving it to charity?

I dont think foolishness synonymous with IPOB?
Just set it on fire, so it can be quick.
Infact, burn the land, after demolishing the house grin

I meant in a situation whereby if that quit notice was not given, It's expected that Igbos should continue staying wherever they are, as long as they are not causing any havoc after break up.
Break up doesn't mean " All must go back to his ancestral home"

You are DREAMING!

As usual, trying to eat your Cake and still have it.
Signs of a "Greedy Bunch".

Trust aboki at your own peril.Check out their fanatic support for this cursed government regardless of the hardship it has wrought on our nationhood.I remembered Ojukwu's naive thinking that igbos should return to the north in 1967 only for many of them to be killed.To be forewarned is to be forearmed as a stitch in time saves nine.Igbos pls think and act wise.

You people are the achitect of all your misfortunes!

You mean all those people still supporting this Govt from the North, to the South West, Mid West, South South, e.t.c are all fanatical or impoverished?
It is talk like yourself, that killed many in 1967 while you hide somewhere in the South West.

Any Yiibo that wants to return home, should have done so QUIETLY, without trying to further inflame the situation and creating fresh havoc for those that might decide to stay! But trust Ibo man, he must run his mouth, thump his cheat from afar and issue futile threats.

Until EVERY REGION gives una QUIT NOTICE SIMULTANEOUSLY and stick by it, l guess you will still continue to insult others while expecting them to show you love.

Wha does it matter? Igbos have been in a prison called Nigeria since 1914

It does matter!
You are not trying to say they are Animals destined to live and breed in a prison?
How can you say Ibos have been in Prison since 1914, when it is not as if a Judge sentenced them to Life imprisonment or dont you knwo that is more than 100yrs already

Anyway, Criminals deserve to be in Prison. undecided

August 27 2017... which kin future newspaper b this one..

Everything about that Piglet called Nnamdi Kanu, is rooted in FRAUD and DECEPTION.

He thinks he is smart by trying to premept the Nigerian Armed Forces ....Let the Court he disobeyed by flouting his Bail Conditions, deal with him first, before Bubu will lask him with horse-whip.

The animal even said he liberated Yorubas and other tribes! Imagine?
Other tribes say they are not slave like your kinsmen and dont need your so-called liberation, yet you keep mouthing it like a lunatic.

This Nnamdi Kanu must be taught a lesson otherwise some other deranged Pig will even try smething more daring.

I would like to compare his adventure with a popular saying by my well respected pastor which says " A o merin joba e we Ku ewele." I leave that to anybody versatile in Yoruba translation to do that.

Let me try, as omo Yiibo concern! grin

Incase any one want to learn from me:

A o => We will
merin => laugh
Oba => King
