Desyner:
OP, are you Musiwa ?
You must be one corrupt pensioner trying to confuse the youths with your dummy propaganda. Go sleep Mr Man.

yah!
propaganda, what have you youths have been gain in politic before, what you will gain in politics when the member of the 5 or 6 state of senate, house of reps members, ministers, governors, commissioners, not to talk local chairmen of your region knock horn for political post, I will see how your youths will be considers.

deedeedee1:
Everything went downward after the 1966 coup

what a delusional!

SalamRushdie:
So did the British take it with them? ..UCH was still one of the best hospitals in Africa till that unfortunate coup plot of 1984 Sir ...I spread facts not hate

I said stop!
until 1973 the the British administration is still intact in Nigeria, and am telling you Nigerian is still British national till December 31 1982!
stop your deceit pls!

SalamRushdie:
Everything went downward after that unnecessary coup plot by Buhari in 1984

stop nonsense!
This is British administrative legacy!

SalamRushdie:
But why weren't they arrested all this while , why wait till Oshokos declaration to arrest them ...Timing is important in everything so based on this I can say conveniently their arrest was politically motivated

yah, it's right as far as looting public money is politically motivated!

Since The Amendment of 1999 constitution made by the two house of Assembly recently Nigerian politicians had bound together to kick against the amended constitution, Ibadan summit is one of the gang-up against it.
But why politicians against the youths political ambition?
It's because the recent 1999 constitution amended taken them by surprise due to the level the amendment largely cut Nigeria politicians into minimum size in favour of Nigerian youths!
i. The reduction of the age of candidate of governorship and presidential!
ii. The independent candidate!
iii. The autonomy of LG!
iv. The autonomy of State of Assembly!
v. The devolution of power rejection!
These five Amendment were the big blow to Nigerian politician, the main reason they bound together to kick against the 1999 constitution in totality!
They adopted the 1963 constitution claimed is the best constitution that favour Nigeria nation;
but the question is this what political opportunity this 1963 constitution open for Nigerian youths?
oladeebo

Wonder shall never finish in Nigeria!
PDP ruled Nigeria for 16 good years but this 16 years is not sufficient for them to restructure Nigeria but Buhari with two years in office must be blamed for not restructuring Nigeria!
Foolish politicians that had determined Nigeria won't be better with out them in office!
Shame!

RationalTV1:
He noted that a lot of Nigerians were interested in restructuring and that if this is not doen, it can affect the country’s existence.
He said:“But I tell them that nobody has moved forward, even then, in spite of the fact that they have been controlling the resources of the country centralised in Abuja, the headquarter of poverty in Nigeria is still the north, which shows that the system is also not still working for them.
“We want a situation where every components of this country begin to look inwards, generate revenue and use that revenue to develop themselves not somebody to go and get oil from Bayelsa, you bring it here for everybody. So people get lazy they are not doing anything. It is either we restructure or this country would perish.
“My prayer is that Buhari should not be the last president of Nigeria. South -South has spoken, the South-East has spoken, the South- West has spoken, the Middle Belt has spoken, even part of North -East like Atiku have said we should restructure.
.
“But a group of people mostly from the North-West are resisting change; you came to government and the mantra has changed, restructuring means change for those who said they don’t know what it means.”
.
In an interview with The Sun, Iwuanyanwu said Nigeria;s corruption goes back to the army which Muhammadu Buhari was a part of and so people should stop blaming Jonathan.
The PDP chieftain said the All Progressives Congress (APC) has failed in its promise to Nigerians because the party was ill-prepared for governance.

@op
you are very lucky you didn't mention me, I would have reset your brain,so that next time you will know you were on social!
lucky guy!

The three tiers of the government LG, SG, FG had been hijacked by the political bigwigs and Urban Dueler in Nigeria, all these political office holder had vacated the Village and resident in urban center, make the Local secretarial as vacational camp.
Abuja is the home base of Senators, Rep members, not to talk of ministers and others.
The capital city of each state no longer serve the home of governors, state house of Assembly members, commissioners alone but chairmen of LG, Councilors, Supers and there civil servants!
Congested the big cities and deserted the village, leave local villagers with out the opportunity of nearerest government, feel belonging of the government, this must be stopped, The government and the administrators must draw nearer to the people, and the only way to bring the government nearerest to people, bring resources to people, bring social amenities to people, bring money to people is to allow the villager rule themselves;
by Creating WARD GOVERNMENT WG the government of local people for the service of local people, every one will feel belonging and agitation and all sorts of tensions will douse down!
oladeebo

This what I've been waiting for, this executive is working but with out the full support of the judiciary, how can a country move forward like this but now God so good the justice finally come to Nigeria!
God bless this nation!

pls
some one should enlighten me, Atiku is campaign as an independent candidate or on what party exactly?

The ward government WG will be a rehabilitation of the left-out and drop-out in village, towards the development of every ward in Nigeria!
The success of the ward government will surprise the nation, because it will composed of the permanent local resident.
Instead of cutting the allocation of FG for the SG and there will be no progress, the WG allocation go straight to local resident, and it would be for the interest of school drop-out, urban drop-out, the village left-over and security of the wards guarantee!

The Kurdish referendum on independence from Iraq was approved by more than 92 percent of voters, officials said Wednesday, as Iraq's prime minister vowed to keep his country united without resorting to the use of force.
Even with the strong support, the non-binding vote is unlikely to lead to formal independence, but it has escalated long-running tensions with Baghdad, which has moved to block flights in and out of the Kurds' autonomous region. Iraq and its neighbors, along with virtually the entire international community, are opposed to any redrawing of the map.

Barcelona (AFP) - Catalan police warned Wednesday that public disorder may erupt as Spain orders the authorities to seal polling stations and stop the region holding a referendum on independence.
The Catalan government has vowed to press ahead with Sunday's plebiscite despite a crackdown by Madrid which wants to prevent a vote deemed unconstitutional by the courts.
The referendum has deeply divided the wealthy northeastern region which is home to some 7.5 million people and accounts for about a fifth of Spain's economy.
Late on Tuesday, Catalonia's chief prosecutor ordered the force to seal off buildings that will house polling stations before Sunday's referendum which Madrid has declared illegal.
But such a step "could lead to undesirable consequences," the Mossos d'Esquadra warned in a posting on Twitter on Wednesday.

These two regions were heading toward the total break down of law and order?
Can we say the world is in total anarchy today!
Or this self determination is the right above all the law of the whole world?

it can never be better for those who did this evil to this innocent boy!
when I said the death penalty should be introduced in this country, the criminal right watch kick against it!
they have done irreparable damage to the life of this child!

The history had once again prove me right!
when I said the same people of the same Idea were those who were calling for separation and restructuring of Nigeria!
people say No!
but you see them now?
here They were pull to wall, they were looking for cover-up!

dlondonbadboy:
LMAO. This monkey is talking to himself with different accounts. Hahaha.

Some of these people we call BMCs are actually not BMCs. Most of them are mad people who somehow has phones.
Sarrki, come and see your fellow patriot!

only those who were born to civilize society can be civil!

SweetJoystick:
My idea is not needed as I'm for disintegration of the country

the terrorist?
but who invited you here?

Urbanization and urban problems in Nigeria is another problem that will be resolved with adoption of WARD GOVERNMENT WG
look:

moninuola65:
oladeebo you are great, I open my cap for your intelligent, but it's a pity people like you will not be made to administered the affair of the nation!
This is a sound proposition I've ever read since the noise of this restructure begin.
If we have Ward government all our drop out in school and politic and the rest of local people will have their own government to look after their ward affair, sanitation, security, education, family affairs!
I think 30% of Nigeria problems if not more were solved.
and it will develop the local and discongested the cities

2017 budget
Capital Expenditure: N2.24tn (30.7% of total budget)!
Nigeria can't have solution to this, beside set this WG that will bring the influence of government nearer to the people, Ward Government is an own government for the affairs of the people.

Many people challenged my stand on restructure, some even query, as a Yoruba how can I oppose the restructure of Nigeria?
I received many messages on this issue, some insult me, some advice me to change my opinion, but some one send a message that attract my attention on this issue he ask a question;
"oladeebo if it's compulsory to restructure Nigeria, what part you think need restructure and what's your proposition that you think can make Nigeria better?"
This an heartbreaking question for me, I respect the author and I promised to answer him on social forum!
The answer is simple:
The problem of Nigeria that need solution is this:-
The cost of governance in Nigeria is high!
The solution to the high cost of governance is to bridge the gab between Recurrent Expenditure & Capital Expenditure
In Nigeria Budget till date Recurrent Expenditure stand at 70%!
While Capital Expenditure stand at 30%!
Which means 70% of Nigeria income goes to 30% of Nigerian population pocket!
While 30% of Nigeria Income goes to 70% of Nigerian population!
How can the restructure of Nigeria in True federalism, fiscal federalism, Regionalism, state creation, state police, devolution of center power to state bridge the persistent gab between Recurrent Expenditure & Capital Expenditure?
All the Democratic government we have know this and they try avail!...from obasanjo, to Yar-Adua, to Jonathan and Buhari!

The way out:-
Is to Create a WG..WARD GOVERNMENT
The government will be headed by a District head universally vote by the people of the ward.
The district councils voted also.
The District executive nominated by District head
Have their secretarial in the ward office.
Funding of the WG
Direct Allocation derived from the the three tiers of the government..LG 20.60%, SG 26.72%, FG 52.68%
LG 20.60-1.60%
SG 26.72-3.72%
FG 52.68-4.68%
TOTAL=10%
This 10% will be the Allocation of the (WG) WARD GOVERNMENT.
This is my personal view on how to restructure Nigeria to bring government nearer to the people!
Debate:

aolawale025:
It's INEC making a fool of themselves. When they can get a court order to serve the notice thru publication in a nwespaper

he must be served personally!

you see those who wanted Nigeria to be restructured for them to govern.
the stupid fellow.
since time when these people follow saraki to court, I know we are in serious trouble!

When shall we get it right in this country?
If the Lecturers, PhD, Professors, Doctorat, SAN, can't create political Ideas suitable for this country, and Lazy enough to study any Idea brought by any body politic and apolitic, elaborate it's definition, advantage, disadvantage and it's economics importance then am seriously worry about this nation, because these scholars and these institutions had handed us to the manipulation of evil machination of politicians and we were vulnerable to political wickedness, We know our politicians for unpatriotic selfish and greedy;
Who will check mate them and when this stupidity be stopped?
In America if any one come out with any Idea especially those that concern National interests, the scholars and Universities would intervened Analysed, Elaborate, study and and give their conclusion and informed the public on the issue, So the public will know what they were bargaining if it turns to political game!
Restructure
This restructure that didn't have the exact definition and meaning will lead Nigeria to total destruction and political turmoil;
This restructure is an option "B" for those who were behind the separation of this country.
Ask any advocate of restructure what he mean by restructuring Nigeria they can't give the real mean and it's economics importance to the poor masses.
here are some of their Ideas;
i. True federalism!
ii. Fiscal federalism!
iii. Devolution of power!
iii. Regionalism!
iv. Resources control!
v. State police!
vi. Creation of more states!
etc.
ok. let take it one by one.
i. True federalism
if every states control every thing it's possessed and contributed certain percentage to the center government;
those who have the oil resources today may think they were better off but can those who didn't have resource fold arms?
No they will sift to exorbitant Levis or taxes, what they can laid hand on, food stuff, animal,Land etc!
but who will pay these? the people, Nigeria nation at large!
same thing will happen to;
ii. Fiscal federalism!
iii. Devolution of power!
iv. Resources control!
v. State police!
vi. Creation of more states!
For the regional government it will even worst, it will be total chaos and political turmoil ever experienced in the history of this nation, 1963 crises will be a child play!
How can the Norther region managed the political knock horn of Atiku, musa kwankoso, Ganduche, Saraki etc for Norther premier?
How can the East manage the political duel of the their politicians...wike, amaechi, Iphezu, okorocha etc for Eastern premier?
How can the west manage the blood feud between Obasanjo Fayose, ffk, Asiwaju Tinubu for the western premier?
In the mid west what will happen with Yaya Belo, Dino melaye, Osimale etc for Mid western premier?
Economics importance:
Nigerian had being dealing with High Cost of governance since adoption of democracy, and right now,
70% is consumed by our political administration,
Only 30% is meant for capital projects and half of it is still embezzled by these political administrators!
How can restructuring of Nigeria bring peace prosperity and harmony for Nigeria Nation?
If Donald Trump can sold his manifestos and Ideas for America to earn their mandate to put check to Obama administration 8 years programs
why our politicians refuse the universal mandate of the people to sell their idea on restructure to us?
Why the political trick?
why not the politician follow the due process:
i. Obey the constitution!
ii. Pass through people's mandate!
This thread is open for debate
No insult, pls.
oladeebo

Finally kanu Nnamdi/ipob is dead and buried!

but why in oke-ogun?

This is the full statement of Asiwaju Hamed Bola Tinubu.
Why these political jobbers twisted tinubu statement in their desperate evil machination of Restructure of Nigeria?
oladeebo from Lagos.

One Nigeria
“When we unite and not untie, we build on an existing maxim of ONE NIGERIA by describing that ONENESS as the fabric of a larger society
S.E.W.N. (South East West North) together.
“We exist in an era where progressive reform and compassion in governance are not oft spoken. It is a dark period the world has entered,
where the lesson is the powerful do as they will and the weak suffer as they must.
“Yes, we resist this trend; it holds nothing good for Nigeria. We must adhere to the values and policies that suggest tomorrow can be made a
better place than today.
“I refuse to believe we have become such an untoward lot that the longer we live together, the more estranged we become.
“Just as we have gathered here today, we must gather about the national table to repair our political discourse. In this way, we begin the
process leading to policies that bring – civic kindness, generosity of spirit, sustainable growth, equality and peace to every Nigerian who seeks
these good things.
These are the pillars of a better Nigeria. By the grace and mercy of our common Creator, we shall build such pillars so that we and succeeding generations may come to build even
greater things upon them.”

Revenue formula
“As an adjunct, we should also seek to re- calibrate the revenue sharing formula in order to bring more funds to the state and local levels so
they can answer their enlarged responsibilities.
“In this regard, the residual effect of the old unitary system has made harsh of the Paris Club refunds owed the various state governments.
Money that is owed the states, belongs to the states. We all support propriety of expenditure. The sentiment behind the withholding is
understandable if not laudable. But the federal government has no right to withhold funds that constitutionally belong to the states. The fear of possible misuse of funds is no reason to violate the constitution. Provide the funds to the states as legally required. Committed and fine governors will use the funds wisely. And the people will be better off. As to those who squander the money, there are appropriate ways to expose and sanction them. This is where the federal government can appropriately step in. However, to withhold the funds, no matter how well intended, is to undermine federalism and the rule of law. It will have adverse long-time consequences; as such, it is too high a price to
pay.

Electrical power
“Regarding the all important electrical power, while the federal government takes the lead, there is no logical reason to limit states to generate, transmit and distribute electricity only to areas not covered by the national grid.
“The states should be allowed to augment power generation so long as they do not undermine federal operations. For instance, a state may wish to develop an industrial park or housing estate either of which will require a boost in power generation. However, if the national government does not agree, the state will be foreclosed from projects that providejobs and better living conditions to its people.
“This is not in keeping with the spirit of federalism. It is consonant with an undemocratic tradition that keeps us from approaching a better
Nigeria.

Backbone
“Agriculture remains the backbone of the nation.We must help the common farmer by improving rural output and incomes. This is best done via
ensuring minimum prices for crops strategic to food security. Here, we must revive an old practice and policy that served us well. Though
effective, this policy was shunned because it conflicted with the free market totems that we were asked to erect against our own interests.
“We must return to commodity exchange boards which will allow farmers to secure good prices and hedge against loss. An agricultural mortgage loan corporation should be inaugurated to further promote these goals.
Balancing
“The proposals stated above are largely within the province of the federal government. Focusing on these and other such things will keep the
federal government sufficiently busy. Sadly, the federal government is now doing things the states can perform with equal dexterity and
which detract the federal government from the key missions only it can perform.
“This imbalance between the roles of the federal and state governments lies at the root of our difficulties.
“To achieve better levels of overall governance, we need to re-balance the duties of the federal and state governments. The legacy of undemocratic rule has arrogated too much power and resources to the federal at the expense of state governments. The quest to correct the
imbalance is the essence of federalism I have advocated for so many years.
“Due to our particular political history and its military legacy, the quality of our federalism and the quality of our democracy are intertwined. The more we repair federalism, is the more we improve democracy.
“In my mind, federalism denotes a division of labor between the federal and state governments that functions to maximize the benefits of
governance to the people. True federalism is that brand which provides that the federal government should focus on those few but essential things only it can provide such as foreign policy, defense, and national economic policy.
Additionally, in those matters where uniform standards and requirements are appropriate, the federal government must take the lead.
“All other matters should be left to the states. If there is doubt over a particular issue, the presumption should be that the states, not the
federal government, should take the lead.
“Here, I say to those so eager to dispense with federalism in favor of more rash and impractical remedies, let us first truly practice federalism
before we deem it a failure. If given but a fair chance, we just might perfect federalism by making it work for the benefit of all of us.
“Constitutionally, we are a federation of 36 states. However, the vestiges of past military rule continue to haunt the democratic road we
hew. We function like a unitary state in many ways.
We cannot become a better Nigeria with an undue concentration of power at the federal level.
“Competition for federal office will be too intense, akin to a winner-take-all duel. Those who lose, will bristle at the lack of power in the
periphery they occupy.
They will scheme to pester and undermine the strong executive because that is where they want to be. The executive will become so engaged in deflecting their antics, that it will not devote its great powers to the issues of progressive governance for which such powers were bestowed. Things will be in a constant state of disequilibrium and irritation. Such a situation augurs toward the maintenance of an unsatisfactory status quo in the political economy. It augurs against reform.
“It would be better to restructure things to attain the correct balance between our collective purpose on one hand and our separate grassroots realities on the other.
“Many of the 68 items on the Exclusive Federal List should be transferred to the Residual List. This would be in harmony with the 1963 Constitution, again an instance of reaching back to revive something old yet more likely to give us a better Nigeria.
“That prior constitution granted vast powers to the regions enabling them to carry out their immense responsibilities as they saw fit.
“By virtue of the clear fact that regional governments were closer to the people, they had a better feel for the material and intangible
priorities of their populations. We must return to this ideal.
“Some items which should left for the states to handle such as police, prisons, stamp duties, regulation of tourist traffic, registration of
business names, incorporation of companies, traffic on federal truck roads passing through states, trade, commerce and census are now on
the Exclusive List for the federal government.
