Truthful. The false document called 1999 constitution is a prison that clog the advancement of innovation, research and development. It focuses more on politicking, tribal and spending than technovation.

It's letters are archaic to modern reality. It gives too much food to politics and legal profession. The quota system enshrined in it is a cemetery for raw/harnessing talents.

Imagine us using the quota system in our entertainment industry. How would that sound. Quota system is enemity to patriotism in national service and breeder of corruption.

Hehehe.....truly liberalization is in different forms.
Does the Nigerian constitition prevent States from doing the needful in their respective domains or that which this manner of people are shouting against at the Central Led FG, have they done same at the State level or can they sent that such as in the centre does not happen in the State.........

Cuba is the only country amongst those u listed that the central govt has absolute power in governance.
It's a communist govt n it's not developed.

Singapore is a city state. It separated from Malaysia because it wanted to be autonomous. However, singapore is made up of 3 ethnicity. The central govt ensures proper n fair representation of the Han, Indian and Malays in all sectors of govt n economy.

South korea even has fully autonomous regions with self governing status.g jeju

I'm not going to bother replying u regarding European countries u listed.

No body agreed military wrote it ...it was written so that abacha can transition to a civilian president ...reason for the Centralized power and also making it difficult to changed


Going back to 1963.. constitution the. From their we can then look for solutions...that was the last time we agreed we got it right ...as we were 1963 ...then improve on it based on modern creation ...if we want more region fine , province fine
Mumu which Sani Abacha wrote the constitution? The constitution was only amended in 1999 by Abdulsalem after Abacha’s death, it was written in 1978, stop wailing nothing wrong with the constitution, the only problem, something is wrong with the people.

What concerns them with Federal roads, when they haven’t built their State roads, all countries in the world electricity generated is sent to the grid, Lagos State is building a port @ Lekki, the mineral resources does not belong to you, was it your ancestors that planted them there? The natural resources belongs to the Federal Government, we the people of Nigeria, Failures will always have a reason or person to blame for their own backwardness.

You are wrong, right from 1999 people have spoken against the 1999 constitution and the issue of restructuring did not start with Mr Buhari. It has been on since Obasanjo's regime.
Why didn’t Obasanjo's or Jonathan’s regime change it when their were in power?
