True all you said however that is just one way of looking at things.

Another way is to critically analyse the failures of the first republic. The fact is most politicians are weak men often driven solely by their unquenchable thirst for more power. Just imagine what the Western region could have become if Awo had simply focused on it alone as opposed to running for the centre.

If we readopt the 63 constitution, it will still be same of same for the most part. Northern elements will still have sway over parliament and the opposition will be willing to dine with the devil if it means getting power.


I say we take away the centre permanently and let us all within our own various enclaves find a way to build a sustainable future country that we can truly call our own.

Things were not better. More people were poor, we did not have the infrastructure we have now, many of the highways we have today were non-existent or dirt tracks, and there was no Niger bridge

Plus, today, we no longer produce the things we produced in 1963. And even if we did, our populaiton has quadrupuled since then. So, what we produce won't be enough for us

Most villages and towns did not even have power at all

Plus, everyone wants states, not regions. People even want far more states

Things were not better under regions. It is a myth you people tell yourselves.

Nigeria can only develop by becoming industrial, not by relying on oil or anything else.

I agree we should go back to 1963 constitution because it's the only legitimate constitution since independence and the only constitution we made that brought prosperity to the regions. Other constitution pre-independence brought prosperity but were done by Britain

Was Nigeria an el dorado in 1963

abu12:


birafra people are against it right from 1963 . they still believe NIGERDELTA should be under them. they believe regional govt will not favour them without southsoth

adedehinbo:
you can say that some part of Nigeria were underdeveloped but not south west,as at then west was prosperous and things really make sense then,not the noise pollution we have all over the west now,and mind you, going back to regional govt won't stop us from being industrious,it would only encourage every state to work towards being self sufficient and stop being a leech

DenreleDave:
I can affirmatively affirm that the affirmed affirmation by akeredolu is truly affirming

just2endowed:
i beg who has a copy 0f the 1966 constitutions. lets compare and contrast with this present constitution and see the merit and demerit in it.

So we want to go back to regions?

Sorry, but no thanks.

The 1963 constitution did not solve Nigeria's problems then and it won't now

Our problem is not constitutions it is our lack of willingness to follow due process.

And I ain't pro North or South by the way

Lazynigerian1:


Has sharia been imposed on your state?

The only places where Sharia have been imposed have been Muslim majority states. (And yes, I am opposed to sharia...especially as wee are a secular nation. )

Also, more people want states, not regions

Finally, if you want development, support leaders who will get us industrialised, not return to regions./

We don't even produce enough to satisfy one region self.

urchcoded:
We play too much in this country. How is going back to a 1963 constitution the best for Nigeria in the 21st century? Going back to that constitution may address basic national issues and policies, but would never address the present realities of a country in 2021 that wants to develop and compete with the rest of the world. A lot of social archaicness that needs to be abolished or upgraded is still in that 1963 constitution. If going back to the 1963 constitution is the best we can think of, then we are nothing but jokers.
