*CHIEF OLU FALAE SPOKE THE MINDS OF HONEST AND PROGRESSIVE NIGERIANS - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT RESTRUCTURING NIGERIA IS ALL ABOUT!*
*This beautiful piece by Chief Olu Falae is for those who pretend that they do not understand what restructuring is all about.*
*FOR THOSE STILL GREEKED BY THE TERM, THIS IS THE MEANING OF RESTRUCTURING AS CANVASSED BY SOUTHERN NIGERIA BY*
~Chief Olu Falae
*You know I am a leader in the South West and at the National convention, I was elected as the leader of the Yoruba delegation. So, I am central to the Yoruba position. The Yoruba position is my position and it is the same position I canvassed in my book, ‘The way forward for Nigeria’ which I launched since 2005 in Lagos. What we mean by restructuring is going back to the Independence Constitution which our leaders negotiated with the British between 1957 and 1959. It was on that basis that the three regions agreed to go to Independence as one united country. So, it was a negotiated constitution. This is because, if the three regions were not able to agree, there would not have been one united independent Nigeria. But because the three regions at that time negotiated and agreed to package a constitution, that is why they agreed to go to Independence together. When the military came in 1966 and threw away the constitution, they threw away the negotiated agreement among the three regions, which was the foundation of a united Nigeria.*
*So, the military did not only throw away the constitution but a political consensus negotiated and agreed by our leaders of the three regions in those days. When we say restructuring now, we are saying let us go back substantially to that constitution which gave considerable autonomy to the regions. For example, each region at that time collected its revenue and contributed the agreed proportion to the centre. But when the military came, they turned it round and took everything to the centre. That could not have been accepted by Ahmadu Bello, Nnamdi Azikiwe or Obafemi Awolowo.*
*This constitution we are using was made by late Gen Sani Abacha and the military; and Abacha came from only one part of Nigeria, so he wrote a constitution that favoured his own part of Nigeria. That is why I am saying, let us restructure and go back to what all of us agreed before. That is the meaning of restructuring. The regions used to be federating units, but in today’s Nigeria, they would now be called federal regions because states have been created in the regions. So in the West, you now have federation of Yoruba states which would belong to the Nigerian union at the centre. So, it is not like the region of old with all the powers. No. It is now going to be a coordinator of the states in the zone. That is what we mean by restructuring. And the regions would have a considerable autonomy as they used to have. For example, for the younger people, they may not know that every region then had its own constitution.*
*There were four constitutions at independence –the Federal constitution, Western constitution, Eastern constitution and Northern constitution. That was how independent they were and every region had an ambassador in London. The ambassadors for the regions were called Agent General so that you do not confuse them with that of Nigeria then called High Commissioner. So, Nigeria had four ambassadors in London. The ambassador for Nigeria then called a High Commissioner was M.T Mbu. The ambassador for Eastern Nigeria then was Mr Jonah Chinyere Achara, Western Nigeria was Mr Omolodun and for Northern Nigeria, it was Alhaji Abdulmalik. There were four of them. That was the kind of arrangement we agreed to, but the military threw it away and gave us this over-centralised unitary constitution. So, we said this is not acceptable any more; we must go back to the negotiated constitution which gave considerable autonomy to the regions, so that they can compete in a healthy manner. For example, Chief Obafemi Awolowo wanted to introduce free education in the West and other regions said they could not afford it, but he went ahead to introduce it in the Western region. He said he wanted to pay a minimum of five shillings a day, while others were paying two and three shillings. He went ahead and passed the law, making five shillings the minimum wage in Western Nigeria.*
*There was no problem with that. In Western Nigeria, the constitution provided for a House of Assembly and the House of Chiefs. In Eastern Nigeria, there was no House of Chiefs because they did not think they needed one. There was no problem with that and that is the kind of Nigeria we negotiated in London, but that is different from what we have today. So, we are saying let us go back to that arrangement which all of us agreed at independence and not what Abacha imposed on us, which is very partial, unfair and one-sided. That is the meaning of restructuring; it is to restructure unfairness and give semi-autonomy to the federating units.*

June 12 �
Things that worked!
Which made June 12 Great!

1. Prof. Humphrey Nwosu (Igbo, Umpire)
2. Boshrum Abiola (Yoruba, Winner)
3. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida (Fulani, Annuler).

The above reiterates the Igbo's inestimable value towards actualizing a modern Nigeria which was epitomized by the innovative "Option A4" by Prof. Humphrey Nwosu (the Unsung hero of June 12) as the panacea for electoral malpractice which made a Abiola the Winner!

Now, Babangida the supposed friend to the Abiola annulled the same election and perultimately made Abiola a martyr of democracy!

So,
How do the rest of Nigerians still see the Igbo as the enemy and still see the North as the friend esp in politics?

It is madness!
Nigeria historical timelines must be taught in secondary schools and must be included as prerequisite for any tertiary admission!

Our children as the coming generation must know only but the truth so that they can chose their allegiance wisely!

A missed national opportunity!

Exactly why this country needs to be broken into pieces.....or if they can do a sincere restructuring which I know they won't because Fulani wants to take over everything. Pls SW ppl, and other southern ppl, it's time to stand our ground, nobody hates nigeria as a country, but for years now things have been upside down and it doesn't even get better and there's no respite in sight.....these men in power are gradually digging their own graves.

The chicken has finally come home to roost, u now understand the plight of the SE when we talk about this country.... they say two wrongs don't make a right, but it's not about being right anymore, it's about showing these bloody killers that what is good for the goose is good for the gander

legendsilver:
The perpetrators should be brought to face the law.
The way endsars youths destroyed our already fragile police force was alarming.
Now, we are enjoying the results of our youth stupid*ty with the help of twitter Jack

Oh my God!!! Your stupidity is really follow-come

Probably they banned Twitter, but didn't ban the use of Twitter....lolzz

Sincinnati:
Suddenly all these so called influential people have found their voices.

Where have you been since the prices of goods and commodities rose?
Where has Soyinka been since marauding herdsmen have been killing Nigerians?

Now the vampire of a President has bitten where it hurts EVERYONE they’re all claiming to care.

Nigeria deserves to burn into oblivion.

Are u saying soyinka has not been condemning these happenings in nigeria? Or u just want to criticize for the sake of talking? Let's be frank for once, he might have supported Buhari back then, but he's been vocal in talking against all the evils in this country.....give him credit for that.

This man!!!!!
70-yr old man oooo
How many times will they tell u that Nigeria is not for u?
Have they not left u behind? They haff leave u behind..

Las lass

AdolfHitlerxXx:



He probably enticed her with money...

Had sex....

She might have cooked for him sef

Then strangled her from the back when she was unawares.

Took his time to ransack her room to steal what he could find.... Ko

And proceeded to butcher her.

Are u the culprit? Lolzz

chrisxxx:
Igbos doing themselves. Tomorrow they blame Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas. They blame others but themselves.

Showing ignorance, the act took place in Minna, or ESN has Minna branch? I don't know why u ppl can't just see the clear picture. Gulak killed in owerri, it's igbos fault, obioma killed in Minna, it's still igbos fault. But the govt at federal and state levels share security votes monthly which by law are not accounted for, yet they are not blamed.

Thought Provoking!

THE ABURI ACCORD THAT WOULD HAVE SAVED NIGERIA FROM ALL HER PROBLEMS...( but aborted by the Fulani Oligarchy with the acquiescence and or connivance of Yakubu Gowon)

By FEMI ADESINA( current spokesperson to President Buhari)
In December 2009, I was at Aburi, while holidaying in Ghana. We Nigerians call it A-b-u-r-i, but the Ghanaians pronounce it as E-b-r-i. For those who have read widely about the civil war that we fought between 1967 and 1970,

Aburi is a significant place. This was what I wrote about Aburi, after returning from that journey:

“Aburi. Beautiful, serene Aburi, set daintily atop a hill. It is home to a botanical garden that is 119 years old. But for us in Nigeria, Aburi goes beyond just nature and its preservation.

It is the town where General Yakubu Gowon and Odumegwu Ojukwu met, to try and avert the Nigerian Civil War that lasted between 1967 and 1970. They came out with Aburi Accord, which later broke down. And a shooting war started.

You could see the Presidential Lodge on a hill, where the Nigerian leaders had parleyed at the behest of Ghanaian leaders. It all ended in futility.”

As one of the key parties to the Aburi Accord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, returns to mother earth today, it is also apposite to return to Aburi, and look at the letter and the spirit of the accord once again, an agreement that was violated by the Federal side, and which made a bloody internecine war inevitable.
For most part of 1966, the northern part of Nigeria, particularly, had been turned to killing fields.

Non-natives, especially Igbos, were killed in thousands. Many fled, many others were displaced. There was complete anarchy in the land. The average Igbo looked up to Lt. Col Odumegwu Ojukwu, military governor of the Eastern Region, to provide leadership and direction. He did not fail. He picked the gauntlet and championed the cause of his people.

By January 1967, the drums of war were loud and clear, reverberating across the length and breadth of Nigeria. But there was a last ditch effort to prevent what was imminent. There was a peace meeting hosted at Aburi, in Ghana, by the then Ghanaian head of state, Gen J. A. Ankrah.

At the meeting were Gowon, Ojukwu, all the military governors of the regions, and some top civil servants, both from the Federal side and the Eastern region. The meeting held on January 4 and 5, 1967, and came out with what is popularly known today as the Aburi Accord.

The agenda of the meeting consisted of three crucial issues: (i) Reorganization of the Armed Forces (ii) Constitutional agreement (iii) Issues of displaced persons within Nigeria.

The two-day meeting reached consensus that were acceptable to both sides. Among others, it was resolved that legislative and executive authority of the Federal Military Government was to remain in the Supreme Military Council (SMC), to which any decision affecting the whole country shall be referred for determination provided it is possible for a meeting to be held, and the matter requiring determination must be referred to military governors for their comment and concurrence. What does this mean in simple language?

The SMC would run the affairs of the country, but not without consulting the regions as represented by the military governors. This was something akin to federalism, even under a military government.

Other terms of the agreement include that appointments to senior ranks in the police, diplomatic and consular services as well as appointment to superscale posts in the federal civil service and the equivalent posts in the statutory corporations must be approved by the SMC. What does this mean again in simple language? Equity, fairness, true federalism.

Other matters like the holding of an ad hoc constitutional conference, fate of soldiers involved in the January 15, 1966 coup, rehabilitation of displaced persons, etc, were also amicably resolved, and the conferees returned happily to Nigeria. Only for the Federal side to deliver a blow to the solar plexus: the Aburi Accord, Gowon said, was unworkable, and he reneged on all the agreements.

Using the Eastern Nigerian Broadcasting Service, Ojukwu played the tape recording of the proceedings at Aburi repeatedly, to educate the populace on who was playing Judas. Later, he made a broadcast in which he said: “we in the East are anxious to see that our differences are resolved by peaceful means and that Nigeria is preserved as a unit, but it is doubtful, and the world must judge whether Lt. Col Gowon’s attitudes and other exhibitions of his insincerity are something which can lead to a return of normalcy and confidence in the country.

“I must warn all Easterners once again to remain vigilant. The East will never be intimidated, nor will she acquiesce to any form of dictation. It is not our intention to play the aggressor. Nonetheless, it is not our intention to be slaughtered in our beds. We are ready to defend our homeland.”

In a piece I did last December, shortly after Ojukwu passed away, I said he was virtually pushed into war by the infidelity of the Federal side to the Aburi Accord. I still stand by that position. Ojukwu was called ‘warlord’ for many decades, but he was by no means a warmonger. He only did what he needed to do for his people–and for the country.

As his earthly remains are interred today, it is tragic that Nigeria is still submerged in the morass that Ojukwu already identified about 45 years ago. Today, bombs go off like firecrackers in the country. There is agitation for the review of the revenue allocation formula.

There are strident calls for the convocation of a sovereign national conference. Even some component parts are threatening to pull out of the federation if anything happened to their ‘son’ who is now in power. Didn’t Ojukwu warn of these landmines ahead? Were all these issues not already settled at Aburi?

Foremost journalist and media administrator, Akogun Tola Adeniyi, in a recent media interview, explained the Aburi Accord this way: “Let every region be semi-autonomous and develop at its own level.” Yes, that was the spirit and letter of Aburi, but which sadly became a road not taken.

And is that not why we are still suffering today, living in a rickety and decrepit country that can burst at the seams any moment? I tell you, Ojukwu was a prophet, and like most prophets, he had no honour in his own country. Pity. But whether we like it or not, there’s no way we won’t return to Aburi. Willy-nilly. I only hope it will be sooner than later, before Nigeria goes to grief. On Aburi I stand.

Federal Government was perfidious and duplicitous on Aburi. It is still the same way today. That is why as Nigerians, we are most times disillusioned, dismayed, dispirited, dejected and depressed. When will change come to this land? Our hearts are getting weary.

Last December, I wrote that Ojukwu should be buried like a hero. I’m glad at the rites of passage so far, culminating in the interment today. Yes, bury him like a true hero. An icon, an avatar, deserves no less. This generation will surely not see another like Ojukwu. He fought not only for his own people, but for a true federation founded on justice, fair play, equity and rectitude. Unfortunately, he did not see the Nigeria of his dreams. Will we? Adieu the Ikemba, the Eze Igbo Gburugburu. May your soul rest in peace. Ka nkpur’obi gi zue ike n’adukwa.

"THE QUESTION IS, CAN HE ( FEMI) STILL BOLDLY WRITE THE SAME ARTICLE NOW OR ADVICE HIS PRINCIPAL ON WHAT HE WROTE?

You see, most of these people know what the truth is but will rather look the other way when they start eating.

In the end, it will remain a merry go round of follow my words and not my foot steps.

We are just postponing dooms day. If we do not do the needful, doomsday will remain inevitable."

Imagine if the helicopter carrying the late COAS crashed in the east, the nigerian security will accuse ipob or ESN of shooting down the plane. But it's in kaduna, there was no gang up at all. This country nawaoo

U want advice on this from faceless ppl that will tell u stuffs that will mar ur rship.

One thing is that after swallowing such, the python becomes so weak that it could barely move thus making it very very vulnerable, I guess that's the condition they saw it.

We pray against banditry abi? While u ppl share security vote money every month....all of u from the president to the least are very very mad

Reno Omokri Writes: A National Security Council Meeting Was Held By;

President Muhammadu Buhari
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo
Lucky Irabor
Boss Mustapha
Ibrahim Gambari
Babagana Monguno
Abubakar Malami
Bashir Salihi Magashi
Ibrahim Attahiru
Awwal Zubairu
Usman Alkali Baba
Yusuf Magaji Bichi
Ahmed Rufai Abubakar

To address insecurity in the nation, and especially in the Southeast. Yet, not one South-easterner was present in that meeting.

That meeting was not a solution to Nigeria’s problem. Rather, it is the cause of Nigeria’s challenges. Nepotism, tribalism, and cronyism. How can you shave a man’s head in his absence?

Very interesting. This shows a people who understand power and are very ruthless in grabbing and wielding it to its extremes - something southerners don’t understand.

I suspect the role they played centuries ago in the Arab slave trade may have shaped this power-hungry attitude in them.

The Fulanis are the last tribe to move into the geographical expression called Nigeria.

The Fulanis are not a major tribe in Nigeria.

They are not known to be that well western-educated.

Yet, they have dominated the Hausas who are a major tribe.

They dominate parts of Yoruba land - Ilorin, which they took from Afonja.

And they currently dominate Nigeria and all its resources.

They feel free to stroll into any community and massacre its members with impunity - men, women and children.

They currently hold a nation of 200m to ransom through banditry and kidnapping.

And most of the people seem to fear them.

There is a lot that many of us do not understand about Nigeria.

Very interesting. This shows a people who understand power and are very ruthless in grabbing and wielding it to its extremes - something southerners don’t understand.

I suspect the role they played centuries ago in the Arab slave trade may have shaped this power-hungry attitude in them.

The Fulanis are the last tribe to move into the geographical expression called Nigeria.

The Fulanis are not a major tribe in Nigeria.

They are not known to be that well western-educated.

Yet, they have dominated the Hausas who are a major tribe.

They dominate parts of Yoruba land - Ilorin, which they took from Afonja.

And they currently dominate Nigeria and all its resources.

They feel free to stroll into any community and massacre its members with impunity - men, women and children.

My mum will be buried on the 19th of this month.....RIP to her....sobs!!

Sterope:
Juvenile despondency is the consequence results of years of discipline. How often do our fathers and grandfathers who occupied our esteemed political offices show this discipline?

that's on the political scene, but in our immediate environment we can still rescue the situation in our own little way. I'm not saying we should be aggressive or physically abuse the child, but then, certain acts of misbehavior can warrant little wiping.... even the holy book says "foolishness is abound in the heart of the child, but the rod of corrections takes it away"

SMH..

The boy too lacks home training otherwise he won't be hanging carelessly around his mother's age mate. All of them are rotten.

his mother's age mate? the teacher is 21

Sterope:
An adult is not a child. An adult should know better.

by children in this context I mean between ages 12-19, we adults should help and train them with loving discipline instead of being accomplice in indiscipline, that's why we have this level of juvenile despondency in our society. ppl are forming too much trying to copy oyibo

Sterope:
You flog someone's child and it leads to something else, goodluck to you.

it's not leading to anything, many times ppl talk of flogging as if it's one hell of a beating, these teenagers fight and inflict wounds more severe than flogging itself, and none has ever died. a boy once punched a fellow boy in my school and his two front teeth came off....what should I have done to the boy? begin to pet him immediately? my dear discipline is painful but the reward is gainful, to that I'm a living testimony. I'm not saying u should kill though

ppl shouting about flogging another person's child, u should always consider certain circumstances, it's very wrong to flog a sick child. I taught in a private school for almost ten years. a child (teenager) atimes needs a little flogging to bring back the senses.
I once had an experience whereby a girl was proving stubborn in class. I could not remember what happened but she walked out of the class. her younger brother who was in the lower class reported to the father at home. the next day, the dad came to school visibly angry with four sticks of cane....he demanded to know the teacher that refused to flog his daughter for being naughty. it was funny sha, but in truth, his children are not the stubborn type and he told me to flog them if they dare misbehave.
I had multiple experiences as a teacher, and sometimes I miss the thrills of the secondary school environment.
