Meanwhile, will he complain if three people voted for him as 188,000? What goes around comes around. Melaye leave the stage come and join the viewer stand.

lordsterlin:
that's the more reason why the South must unite to fight this seeming Northern hegemony. We must agitate with everything at our disposal including shutting down oil wells until such a time when Restructuring is possible

like I said u also have a role to play . Make a move as we are doing in SW here about the restructuring. Because we discovered that its not everyone understand what the restructuring means and the kind of restructuring we are talking about, some are still asking us that is it possible for Nigeria to be restructured. The power of Federal is too much and it need to be reduced to state/regional level and local Govt. If u are not living with me u can't understand my problem. How can someone from Kano really want to understand our problems in Lagos here except is part of us.

life2017:
Nigeria is not mature for state police

but why are we going to mature for it?

Mynd44:
Any tine I see people use "NORTH" to classify the entire Northern part of Nigeria to indicate that they are one, I shake my head and walk away

and as u waking away don't bother to work come back till when this country will be restructured. Even from Norther's forum held this week, it was stated that all the 19 state belong to them and they are not ready to share it with any region in this country.

onyfrank:
Please I want you people to start educating us and not saying Nigeria Unity is not Negotiable

my friend leave the question for Google and letlet's move on as the unity of Nigeria is important to everyone of us. Meanwhile, go and join any group in your State, Local govt. CDA that campaign for restructuring. #NORESTRUCTURINGNOELECTION.

Amberon11:
I know they are free to build theirs but will they be allowed to use it for the state alone or be forced to add it to the national grid?

he has already stated it that it must not go for commercialise, this simply means any state that want her people to benefit from this most connect it to national grid.

\We are just wasting our time. Meanwhile, majority of us know at where the problem started and thank God we have seen the result and instead we should stage in round table and find everlasting solution, we are pretending to be a master of problem solver which we also aware that the attitude is not mere to solve the problem but to enrich the pocket. please let me waka go before that big snake will start come and dance is Asonto.

Winners72:
They should have beaten Aregbe himself

were you the one that sent them?

I think the problem of this country started immediately we forgot about the history of this Nation. But I know it has never late for us to trace it back to normal point

I have said that before that has it been Kanu was campaigning on restructuring he will achieve the goal and people will give him honor.

honourhim:
I am not an ipob member and i am not in support of some of their actions but i wish to commend our Yoruba brothers who stood by the igbos to condemn the injustice being meted on people over the years.
These include some Yoruba lawyers, politicians, clergy men, traditional rulers, especially the Ooni of Ife, some Yorubas in the diaspora and technocrats etc.

Also some Yorubas in this nairaland spoke against bad acts by the FG despite the quarel between some of them and ipob members. You all have done well.

Let me also thank the Ijaw people of the south south and other ethnic groups of the south south who condemned the wrong acts of government.

To Ipob members, pls change from some of your bad acts. Learn to listen to others and stop raining insult to other tribes or people who have contrary opinion. I still stand on restructuring of this country and not Biafra.

Thanks to you all.

Declaration is for who has because if u wish to multiply one billion nothing believe me you will surely have one billion zero in return. Has it been all our polithielfcians are investing with the looting money here people will be able to get job and from there they will be able to pay tax in the polithielfcians will also have more money to loot but now no company no job and the Price of oil will soon drop.

Hummm

To me, am seing the move by APC as creating of camping's tool for 2019 general Election. As the llist stated you will understand that they are not ready for restructuring of this Country.Look at the list bellow, list 1,4 is going to be a tool that the northern will u to stabilise the mind of other region during the general meeting, especially within South South Region. Secondly, if APC truly ready for restructuring before 2019 they shouldn't have mentioned/listed item 3 for now because to achieve this if it's going to handle separately it would take them good two years which is going to be year 2019 ending and while the election will hold by February 2019. And now, for you to understand the kind of game they are going to play if they truly ready to accept the restructuring as everybody are asking for making use of 1963 constitution them are taking about power sharing, which power? Because I really know that if they allow us to make use of 1963 constitution nobody will like to go to abuja (central) again. In which anybody that wish to run for President/PM will elect due to his/she performance in he/er region.
We are here watching them on 3D View like Genesis cinemas used to present it on latest movie.

1. Creation/merger of states and the system and rules
for accomplishing that


2. Deduction standard verging on what level of
government collectible income ought to be given
back


3. Devolution of forces on what thing on the restrictive
authoritative rundown ought to be exchanged to the
repetitive rundown and unifying units, particularly
state and group police, detainment facilities


4. League Units: Should Nigeria be founded on areas or
zones or 36-state structure


5. Financial federalism and income designation.


6. Type of government (parliamentary or presidential)


7. Autonomous bid.


8. Land residency framework.


9. Nearby government independence.


10. Power sharing and turn


11. Asset control; and


12. Sort of council.

But what of Tapa in Oyo State?

freshest4live:
The then structure had its problems though, rather than going back fully to the 1963 constitution, we can combine items from both constitutions, the center was too weak in 1963 which led to the events in 1966. However I agree the center should not be the strongest in terms of resource control and education, the local Governments should be reformed to be most active.
The only restructuring we need is the strengthning of the local Governments , restructuring of the states and a means of accountability not a complete return to the first republic.

Osi (you are wrong) before anything at all we should go back to 1963 constitution. This Country belong to everybody not to a single tribe.

Built2last:
Lalasticlala Seun this article resonates with the case of Nigeria

Seun and Lalasticlala what are you waiting for please do a needful thing now by posting this to Front page. I think anybody that loves the Country will allow the restructuring for rabid development and if somebody or some group of people now against it, watch them closely they are the enemy of this Country and as matter of urgent we should draw the line between them.

I think we need more awareness both on Radio and Tv. Even if it possible for another rally as this to take place very soon. In fact we don't need any campaign for 2019 general election but for restructuring. #NORESTRUCTINGNOELECTION.

I think this is the highest time for especially youths from the South to stand against this old people from the North because they have even brainwashed the youths over there that those youth also don't know what they are calling development. Meanwhile, one day this useless man will come out to come and contest for the seat of president and you know that politics is the game of numbers, tell me if only him could guarantee over 80 people from his own family not ward or local govt.how he wouldn't gain the seat and the moment he won, they would be telling u the seat of president is powerfull. The president that could not be able to teach his people how to stand on their own but other's people resources.

IgboticGirl:
For somebody like me I support restructuring 100%


If u don't like it just die

You are my person jare! and your brain shall not enter demurrage like other people that their brain has been downgraded to 0.0kb.

Michael004:
[s][/s]Shut up, leave us alone. We want to lose, in fact we prefer to lose. Produce your goods in your region and sell it to your People. If you try bringing it to our region for sale, you are on a long thing. We know how to market our goods, you believe they won't buy our goods bit they will buy yours, we agreed. Let all the oil company leave Lagos if they so wish. We have our oil too, we will start our bitumen and return to our cocoa that we used to developed our region in the past. I still don't know if Malaysia you can't do about have oil, yet you turn yourself to king when you go there. We want restructuring. Don't bother about Lagos. We want to lose. But I strongly believe you are an aboki leeches that always find every possible means to use Yoruba for your own benefit. We are wise. Restructuring is what we want.

don't mind that guy. Maybe he has forgotten that this is where everything started while other do copy. With Seaport and Airport he was talking about help me ask him who occupied the big big post there. And which region is collecting the lions share. Omo , we have tried of operation taja tęran. By the way I don't know how develop your region and let me develop my region suppose to cause problem or is it by force for me to share out from ur problem?

naturalman:
Since other regions are not benefiting anytin from this current Nigeria.... they will stand to benefit in a restructured Nigeria....

Yoruba and Hausa's are the greatest beneficiaries of one Nigeria...

But when restructured, the SW will be negatively affected....

Take a look at these views

SE/SS should stop been fooled by these Yoruba's....
Yoruba's can never support restructuring actively because it will end up affecting them...

When other regions have put their seaport in order......who will still go back to Lagos to import goods...

When other region have mandated all international air travel should go from their regions, who will go back to Lagos

when all oil companies operating in nigerdelta, relocates to their region of operation...what business do one have to do with Lagos

when other region will be promoting goods produced in their regions and make it mandatory for purchase by residence in order to grow their economy........who will buy the goods produced in SW Nigeria....

Yoruba nation will loose seriously if restructuring comes

you are saying this due to the level of your understanding. But do you know for the Yoruba to be asking for restructuring is to stop someone like you that has the greatest selfishness blood ruing in their body. For your mind, you think with this post you can convince us, Capital NO! Let me ask you, with our Sea Port and Air Port what Yoruba is benefiting or who told you that if the country is restructured Yoruba Region wouldn't better than this? Please this your post is not for Yoruba and I know that you also understand the region you support to direct this to.

I really understand what you are going through but all the same you have to forget the past and face the future, live goes on. Anđ this is kind of speech that wilĺ certainly comes out where the beauty is the only selling point.

Stingman:
They have...just 8 comments... If it were about Igbos, Kanu or IPOB...It will be hitting the 7th or 8th page...by now. I don't know why.

because its not by noise. Ėjė kafi ôrô siku biagba, kawa demo bi olongbo. Everything started here believe me if it gonna end surely it shall be ended here too. We do and they copy. Ariwo kö!

This is the right time for our leaders to do something reasonable about our economics by allow every state to learn how to develop on their own. And also make agricultural as first purity. But in other word thi gonna be a blessing for Nigeria because if we ask them all the money that we have been collecting from oil what have we done about it nothing to show.

Adminisher:
Only 25% of Nigerians want division. It is not going to work

its better for you to wake up now. 85.9% in SW, 80% in SS 99.9% in SE, 75% NC. If u don't believe go to street and find out.

gnss:
I am of Yoruba Origin, My mother and and father are from Yoruba Land ,Here on Nairaland Yoruba are mostly referred to as Afonja ,either in an Abusive way or not that is not my concern at all .I decided to let people know the ethnic part I belongs to so as to clear everyone's mind as a Non Igbo person ,having it in mind at the same time that anyone that must write or speak in favour of Biafra Agitation must be Igbo or anyone writing or speaking against it must be either a Yoruba or an Hausa person .Please let us keep Sentiment apart ,Let us face the reality,I know no matter how Objective and clear I sound ,Sentiments mentality ,Ethnic Rivalry and tribalistics comments has taken over the body ,soul and spirit of some here ,Nevertheless I still hope there are people with better reasoning with Objective and No side taking comments here .In a nutshell The call for a Referendum to me is not Terrorism ,War Moves ,Its a Non Violent Request ,I do not see anything wrong about this .Why is The Federal Govenrnmnet not given ears to this rather than saying Nigeria is Non Negotiable ,which Nigeria ? Who gave birth to Nigeria ,Who are the Representatives of the Nigerian people that came to a round table to bring about the birth of Nigeria ,One person is never WE ,A referendum (plural referendums, see below) is a direct vote in which an entire electorate is asked to vote on a particular proposal. This may result in the adoption of a new law. In some countries, it is synonymous with a plebiscite or a vote on a ballot question.

there is something I want you to know that the moment Nigeria Govt. Allow the referendum, that its end of Nigeria because all the other Groups will also ask for the same thing and another thing I want u to know is that people are just pretending we have tired of being called Nigeria we want to Try something new. But it has not too late if Federal Govt. Can at least allow restructuring which will allow every state or region to develop on their own. If not! believe me alĺ of us should prepare of any otherwise. Please do me a favour look around u and point out any Federal project around u , can u point a single one? Or can u tell me what have u ever benefitedfrom federal Govt. If u can't mentioned one from the body that taking the lion share of our resources that show u that very soon that otherwise that we are trying to prevent will happen and nobody can't stop it then. 1963 constitution ïs the answer to this problem before it will be too late.

This making the fourth time visited the place but yet no good result. Unserious Govt. Year 2019 is around the corner.

edogirl2:
Advocates of resource control want the Federal govt to cede control of the management (including revenue) of the oil and gas resources to the producing areas, with the latter paying a subvention to the centre.


This is unrealistic in the current environment.


1. Effectively, militants will decide each month whether to release monthly subventions to the Federal govt. Basically, if Boy Loaf and the rest of them are unhappy about anything, they can decide, yep! no money for you people this month. It's our resources. Go to hell! So, millions of civil servants and the armed forces will go hungry for months.

2. With producing states swimming in billions of dollars, it is only a matter of time before new and more powerful militants and warlords emerge and start fighting each other for control of the region. Meanwhile, unpaid and hungry Federal armed forces will be too demotivated to restore order in the region. Welcome to the new South Sudan.

3. New, powerful and extremely rich Niger Delta states will be fodder for international arms traders who will flood the place ready to do business. Rogue states like North Korea will warms its way into the heart of militants with the supply of sophisticated weaponry. Meanwhile, a lame, financially - deprived, and powerless (no power without money) Federal govt will run to the African Union and UN begging for intervention. Our President will be travelling to South Africa every other week to 'lobby' for military help. Yep, South Africa and Ghana.

No one wants this type of Nigeria.

ND should negotiate a 20% increase on the present 13% derivation payments. That should take us to 15.6%. Further increase can be negotiated in the future.

The granting of oil blocks should be subject to public scrutiny and not just be a matter for a President's exclusive preserve

The corrupt and failing NDDC should be reorganised to allow transparency

There should be a gradual phasing out of payments to militants

A strict, highly punitive, and effective regime for environmental pollution should be put in place.


ND oil can and should be used judiciously for the benefit of all Nigerians.

when I started reading this post I thought your post will have educational ingredients but it was not quite long before I realised that you don't even have idea about what you are writing about. But never too late because you can make your research to know the definition of true federalism and you can make use of United States of America, Canada, Germany and so on. Its only within Arab Leagues that are practicing the Unity system that we are calling Federalism. Though, it has been classified as federalism in Nigeria definition.

MasterRahl:
That's my governor. Unfortunately, the civil servants in my state can't appreciate what this man is doing.

yousyou self will come and blame him latter. Because the law that guards the Electricity generation has never chance that says any state that generate the electricity must connecte it to National grid. And from there the federal will now share it to even northern part and at the end of day that state that generated the electricity might not be able to have 15 percent of what it generated. Example of this is Kwara State.

heendrix:
FG should make another uniform for them and not include pocket. the bribe will reduce that even if you stop to say my friend collect this little change he will say thank you sir my cap is already full

Most they collect the bribe?

horlus:
Considering the high level of corruption in this country especially the recent allegations against the number one policeman in the country the Inspector General. What suggestions do you think can bring sanity to this embarrassing police situation in Nigeria. Let's be matured about our comments.

For how long are we need to deceive ourselves in this country? The only way to stop all this inanity is restructuring. You and I know that the major problem we are having in the country is corruption which 95% is from Center. If you know the amount of money Polices are making through only bailing alone you will support me by saying they should also join one of Federal Govt Agencies that should be generating revenue to Govt like Custom. And this is the reason why This IGP against the state police. Believe me, in as much we remain with this kind of system of Govt we are practicing this is how we will remain for ever without any development.
