Obviously most of you are not smart enough to know that restructuring is the concoction of politicians to have more share from the federation account. Since the fall in crude price.
Most of you are helping the politicians to advance their pockets while you continue in your misery, use your fvcking head!!

I never supported restructuring in the first place for similar reasons but I realised that our current system is not any better. Politicians would always want to cut corners and further dip their hands into the national purse - that's a given.
Like I always say, bad leadership is the bane of our democracy. Restructuring won't halt bad leadership but it would help in so many ways.

Politics › Negotiate With Boko Haram Just As You Did Niger Delta Militants- Borno Elders by Ehiscotch(op): 11:17am On Jul 18, 2017*

A group of community elders in northeast Nigeria
where Boko Haram has waged a bloody eight-
year insurgency are urging the Islamists to enter
peace talks, a move some see as motivated by
ethnic self-interest.

The Borno Elders Forum of retired military and
civilian officials, all ethnic Kanuri, said it was
“time they (Boko Haram) put down their arms”
and they should “repent and rejoin the larger
society”.
“If our leaders had the leeway to negotiate with
the Boko Haram for the release of some of their
captives, they should employ the same tactics to
negotiate for the end of the insurgency,” they said
in a newspaper advertisement last Friday.
“The Government of Nigeria had earlier
negotiated with the Niger Delta militants and
succeeded. Let the Government do the same with
Boko Haram.”
President Muhammadu Buhari, a former army
general, has given no sign of wanting to negotiate
a settlement since he came to power in 2015.
His government has, however, held back-channel
talks that secured the release of more than 100 of
the 219 Chibok schoolgirls abducted by Boko
Haram in 2014.
But the call for negotiations by the elders of Borno
state, where the Kanuri is the main ethnic group,
has led to speculation that it is driven less by a
desire for peace than by ethnic issues.

– ‘Flying a kite’ –

Boko Haram’s ranks have been dominated by
ethnic Kanuris. In its early days, the Islamist
militant group was known to have members from
the families of the region’s political and religious
elite.
Abdullahi Bawa Wase, a security analyst who
tracks the conflict, said the elders were “flying a
kite” to gauge reaction.
The peace talks proposal “could be a Boko
Haram idea being sold by the Borno elders on
their behalf”, he said.
A senior member of the Civilian Joint Task Force
(CJTF), the militia assisting the military with
security, said the proposal was “in bad faith”.
“The elders know how to get in touch with their
sons, nephews and brothers who are high-profile
Boko Haram leaders,” he said on condition of
anonymity.
“If they really mean what they say, they should
convince their Boko Haram relations to renounce
membership of the group and surrender.”

– Ethnic rivalry –

Kanuri dominance in Boko Haram sparked claims
in the earlier stages of the violence that the
uprising was a push for a homeland.
Few maintain that view since its leader Abubakar
Shekau declared a caliphate in August 2014 and
pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group the
following March.

Ethnic rivalry has, however, been seen as having
contributed to the religiously inspired violence,
adding another layer of complexity to the conflict.
“People despise Boko Haram for the death and
destruction they cause,” said Abubakar Gamandi,
the head of the Borno state fishermen’s union.
“But in terms of ethnic sentiments, some give
tacit support to them when the victims are non-
Kanuri.
“Many Kanuris feel Boko Haram are weakening
their ethnic adversaries against whom they have
been struggling for social, economic and political
supremacy in Borno.”

The Kanuri mainly hold political power, while the
ethnic Hausa control agriculture, fishing and
trade, and the Fulani and Shuwa tribes dominate
cattle herding.
Tensions pre-date Boko Haram. The Nigerian
military has previously accused the Borno elders
of hampering the counter-insurgency.
Gamandi suggested the scale of attacks has had
a tribal dimension.
“They (Boko Haram) wrought more destruction
and deaths on non-Kanuri towns and settlements
populated by Hausa and Shuwa Arab than on
Kanuris,” he said.

– ‘Sworn enemies’ –

The call for talks, at a time when the Nigerian
military is out to destroy Boko Haram, is
considered by some in the northeast as an
attempt at Kanuri self-preservation.
The fear of losing a whole generation of Kanuri
men, giving the upper hand to the Hausa, Fulani
and Shuwa, could explain the recent surrender of
Boko Haram fighters to the military.

“The elite have been encouraging them to
surrender to the military through local community
chiefs with promise they would ensure they are
given soft landing and reintegrated into society,”
said Gamandi.
Another potential complication for a lasting, long-
term peace is local attitudes to the insurgents
after so much bloodshed and hardship.
Abba Aji-Kalli, the Borno state coordinator of the
CJTF, said his so-called vigilantes and the
Islamists were “sworn enemies” and would
remain so, whatever happens.
“We will never see eyeball to eyeball with Boko
Haram. Nothing can change that,” he said.
An amnesty for repentant former insurgents “will
never work” he added. “We know that because
we very well know who they are. They lived
among us, we grew up with most of them.”

During the 16yrs of PDP in power,Nigeria was not divided as compared to just 2yrs of Apc.So the call for restructuring Nigeria is really as a result of lopesided appointment and Selective govt.of the Apc

Restructuring is not about division.
Division and agitation is only increasing the pressure.
Restructuring is about delivering the dividends of democracy and good governance.

If they had not looted Nigeria would have been far more developed than it is the & now.
During the era of high oil prices, other oil producing nations developed infrastructures and diversified their economy but what did we do?
WE looted and looted. We took our loots abroad and further impoverished ourselves.
During that period Money was in circulation - dollars pounds Naira. There was relative peace in the Niger Delta region.
We were producing at 2.2 million barrels.
Multiply that by $100.
We had enough greenback to cater for our import needs i.e Our balance of trade was slightly negative.
But what happened when it crashed?
How was our reserves?
Why did government fail to pay up salaries?

Whether you like it or not it is the truth.
The PDP are trying to pretend like it never had the chance to do so.
But the APC should also know that NIGERIA are a patient people. We gave a chance for that distorted version of Federalism to thrive. It hasn't worked so we need to move on.
They need to man up to their responsibilities. They practically own the NASS.
Restructuring is the only way.

Politics › You Were In Power For 16 Years But Failed To Restructure Nigeria – APC Fires PDP by Ehiscotch(op): 9:52am On Jul 18, 2017

The All Progressives Congress, APC, has slammed the former ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over its ongoing calls for the restructuring of Nigeria.

The party wondered why PDP suddenly woke up to realize that Nigeria needed to be restrucutured but failed to do so while it was in power between 1999-2015.

Speaking with Nation, Hon. Hilliard Etta, the National Vice Chairman (Southsouth) of the party said, Nigerians needed to give the APC time as it would surely fulfill all electioneering campaign promises.

He said, “I don’t know if it is essentially about the APC. But some Nigerians are very quick to enter judgement when it comes to APC. The APC has been in power for two years and in these two years, you are aware of what has attended our presidency. It is disingenuous for people to now look at the APC and say those types of things that they say.

“If is unfortunately because, whenever these things are done, I think they are just amplifying or reciting the propaganda of the PDP. The PDP was in power for 16 years and never cared about restructuring. Today, PDP is all over the place talking about restructuring. I think Nigerians should be a little patient with us.

“It is unfortunate that the unsustainable sub structure of Nigeria has brought the current agitations in the manner it has come and at this time when the APC is in power. We we are not afraid of the responsibility and the challenges of the time.”

Biafra: We will deal decisively with any group trying to disrupt elections – Police fires back at IPOB

Asked his take on the cries of marginalization, which has lead to one form of ultimatum or the other, Etta said, “there is agitations from almost all parts of the country. The almajaris are agitating for a better life, the Yoruba man is agitating for better governance, the Igbo man is agitating, the Calabar man is agitating.

“There is no ethnic nationality in this country that isn’t agitating. Now we must interrogate who they agitating against and who should they agitate against? I laugh when I hear my Igbo brothers agitating against the Hausa/Fulani, are they to saying that it is the Hausa/Fulani that has marginalized them.

“When I see the Almajiris agitating, are they to saying that it is the Hausa/Fulani that has marginalized them? It is the same thing for the Yoruba, the same for the Igala people, the same thing for the Efik people, the same for the Ibibio people. The truth of the matter is that Nigeria is sharply divided into two; the leaders and others and the people that have marginalized all ethnic nationality are less than one percent of the population of Nigeria and they come from all ethnic nationalities.

“I have done a personal interrogation of those who have superintended over Nigeria and very sadly, I have come to realise only three Hausa/Fulani people have been in charge of Nigeria since independence. The first was Tafa Balewa, the second was Buhari and the third was Yar’dua.‎”
