South West governors always playing the Big brother role.

Anyways, its a good initiative abeq.
I'm 100% certain SW will develop rapidly pass this stage if we're practicing regional government

The problem with this thought that south west region will develop rapidly past this stage in a regional government is the fallacy that others will remain in their regions and not flood southwest.

Whatever progress is made in Yorubaland, be rest assured that the rest regions of the country will drag them back by dumping their huge population on the southwest even as we see it occuring right under our noses.

The only way true development can come to Yorubaland is if Yorubas have their own nation and regulate who comes in. That's all.

Other than that, don't expect much from this union because the constitution guarantees the right of freedom of movement and the freedom to live anywhere you want in Nigeria.

All of these are just noise used to deceive the gullible masses. We had 3 regions then 4 in the first republic. There was corruption and strife. We had 12 states. There was corruption and strife. We had 19, then 21 then ....all the way to 36 states. There is still corruption and strife. We have had civilian, military, mix military and civilian, presidential system, parliamentary system....in all these there has been corruption and strife.
When will Nigerians finally understand that the problem is not the system of govt, it is the practitioners of that system. If you have regional autonomy tomorrow, you will still have Tinubu's in the SW, Kalu's in the SE, Ibori's in the SS, Gado Dollar in the NW.... Nothing will change. Untill the rule of law is firmly established in this country nothing will change.

The argument is some people will eventually get it right at some point. Look at Dubai for example, Dubai is just a single province in UAE, but it stands out from other province and set them on a race

Bro it is crystal clear, beyond rhetoric and hate-mongering against the North, that it is only SW leaders who have a clear understanding of what needs to be done politically and legislatively to make Nigeria more successful.

I.e a nation that will be more fair , more productive and with more opportunities for every individual, State and region to make progress commensurate with their talent, natural endowment and political will.

It is childish and un_astute to think that Nigeria has the financial means or social stability to effect the commendable recommendations from SW governors.
It is the best so far BUT there is no money.

I have said it many times that Nigeria probably needs N100Tr over 10 years to effect administrative restructuring alone. N5Tr every year to manage security challenges of the implementation of overzealous mob-actions from people interpreting the new structure in their own way and seeking revenge or positional advantages.

Restructuring or breakup is a pipe dream. File it somewhere until the economy improves or a better generation than today's youth grows into maturity.

But its our own people currently stealing our money. Once FAAC allocates money to states and local government, the Futa Jalon does not have any say anymore. Its the governor and his executives that steal the money.

Re: South-West Governors Propose Six Regions, Demand LG Autonomy, Resource Control by somehow: 12:13pm On Jul 12, 2021
I support this 190% just that we know most of these governors aren't even practicing what they preach.

President Buhari asked them to give their judiciaries and local governments autonomy which most of them kicked against just to turn around asking the FG to grant autonomy to what is in their powers to do.

Madness.

This is why I admire the south-westerners. They stopped Ruga, they kick-started the local security outfits (Amotekun, Ebubeagu, etc) to curtail the stupid Fulani terrorists, and this is just going to be the icing on the cake.

All the 5 Igbo governors are indolent and stupid. Yes, every one of them.

This country is better off as a federal state properly so-called.

the current nigeria constitution is a fraud and its operators are rogues; hence, the stagnation the country is experiencing. The proposition of the southwest governors is a worthy compedium but seems to me like what the north will potentially rebuff.
There is alot of benefits and hope in our togetherness if we can get our templates (law and other basic mechanisms) right....The current model affords the north a great deal of benefits but we can be sure that every region will be better off under a NEW constitution that we deem fit and agreed on.
I have never stand for the division of Nigeria nor the suffering or inequality and injustice meted out to any tribe in this country.

Nigeria has far bigger problems that Fulani herdsmen. One of which is corruption.
There will be Tinubus in the South West and Kalus in the South East but, it will be left to people from each geopolitical region to decide if they want to continue with this kind of people or not. I'm from the SW and I fully support the Governor's from the south west on this.

If not for Fulani heardsmen wahala there won't have been a Sunday Igboho. Fulani heardsmen were attacking and killing people for no reason and even burning people's farmland, this can lead to war in some other country.

Imagine a Yoruba prime minister in the south west, he would have crushed this Fulani heardsmen a long time ago.

Imagine how GMB failed in his first tenure, imagine if GMB is the prime minister of the south east, there was no way he would have been re-elected.

Everybody go dey face dem issue themselves, and I withness Tinubu tenure from 1999 till he hand over to Fashola. Tinubu really tried in Lagos. The Lagos of the 90's is different from this Lagos.
