I am not here to spark debate on this issue or to condemn a tribe over the other. But to be sincere the problem we are facing in the aspect of Insecurities right now in Nigeria, 90% of the problem came from the northern Nigeria, and the way things are going right in the North Banditry has comes to stay. These are some of the reasons why I concluded the northern Nigeria is our major in Nigeria;

1. An average Northern man has 4 wives and such man can give birth to at least 20 children without a tangible source of income.

2. Their women get married as at the age of 15 years, imagine if a woman started producing children right from age 15. Did you know the number of children she will produce before she reached menopause.

3. Religion has really blindfolded them seriously, that some things the Southern Nigeria will take a look with educational perspective. They will just take it religiously over there.

Taking look at the first reason, if an average man earning N30,000 gave birth to at least 30 children, how is he going to afford Western education. The next thing is for the children to start what they call Almajri.
If such children are approached to even Bomb Aso Rock with the promise that they will give them N100,000, did you think they will reject the offer?
Before the commencement of BVN, some civil servants children are even on government Payroll, they will just include like 30 of their children's names into the payroll and then the Sheu Shagari led government didn't do anything about it. The federal government are paying no portfolios staffs without knowing, it was BVN that blown their secrets and such was stopped.

If we really want to build this nation, I think rebuilding should start from the Northern Nigeria first because they are the one drawing us back
Ever since then

NIGERIA can never be good under this northern - Constitution., Nigeria is not a country.we were forced together & being forced to live together

Don't just shake your head, you can spin it if you like.

Without restructured minds driven by love and kindness for humanity, and a society where equity is promoted by all and sundry, the orderly society we all crave will continue to be a dream that is never realized.
Albeit I'm indifferent about biafra as I'm not in support or against it, let me seize this opportunity to bring this to your notice...
Your question in bold is the exact reason why mind restructuring is what we need first.
It seems that you have already forgotten that you were first of all born a human before you became an igbo and then a Biafran as the case may be. So, I would implore you to first restructure your mind to see humanity first in everything before you can even be qualified to talk about any other form of restructuring.
I was in Bende, Abia state in 2017 and an igbo friend of mine tried to badmouth my tribe by bringing up fetishism as a topic. I never felt angry so I told him everything he was curious about then I subtly told him that I heard that Abia people eat human beings but can you guess his response?
He was very quick to tell me that it wasn't a common practice among them in Bende unlike the people of Isialangwa. Can you see how he exonerated themselves (Bende) as if Isialangwa is not part of Abia?

Go to Kogi state and tell the Igala man that Kogi people eat dog an he will be quick to point at the Yoruba people in Kabba.

Tell the Ikwere man that Rivers people are wicked and he will point fingers at the the Ogoni people and that's how it is vice versa.

In summary, it doesn't really matter how small the social unit is, even if it's as small as a nuclear family, it will still be in total chaos if humanity is lacking.
I remember someone's signature on nairaland.
The name, religion, ethnicity and race we are all fighting and killing to defend are merely fictional entities simply determined by our birth circumstances so humanity first brother.

I agree with you. Humans don't just become good and nice all of a sudden but they don't become bad and evil all of a sudden either.
Everything starts from somewhere and it's all about the orientation we are privy to.
For instance, Haiti is a very poor country where a large population of humans live below average but do you know that if you travel to Haiti today and you eventually meet a random Haitian and give him/her a $100 note to help you look for change or buy you some goods and return the balance, there is a 98% chance that Haitian would return with the change or balance even though you just met for the first time? He/she can only return and ask for something in return for running that errand for you but the idea of going away with your money since you are a stranger and probably won't be able to trace them won't be in their minds. Try this with a random 9 year old in 9ja and your $100 dollar note is gone forever. This is because of the orientation we have here.
Till today, Haitian women still take off their clothes in the market to test the size of a bra and their fellow Haitian men and women won't even give any attention to such. This is all because of their orientation making their society less perverted unlike ours.
It may take time to change the orientation but it is achievable through our academic curriculum and how seriously we take or enforce our laws.

No offense man but we refused to be blinded by our fore father leniency towards other tribes that refused to listen and do the right thing. I would advise you proceed to dismantling that unity southern nonsense there. Let everybody answer his or her father's name. There is no southern whatever.. You wanna be president,you forgot we are all southerners. Abeg no play that southern play here..Exclude igbos

hahahahahahaha...Obviously you are not in the North. most girls are being used as sex style practice by bandits,either married off or sold to the neighboring sahel. We see all these and it's mind relaxing. Anyways you can only dish to South west, the moment 25 people are killed in onitsha by Fulani,then you know it's the end... You will be eaten raw.hahahahahah.

that's what we heard oo..Yet highest rate of Polio, highest rate of cattle herders,low rate of graduates, highest rate of beggars,highest rate of slaves,highest rate of refugees. God will not let somebody for the Sahel come and speak for us. Is it that the hausas are lame, they need to reclaim those regions back from their oppressors..yorubas needs to regain Ilorin and Lokoja back. ..so developed and plenty barren land yet dangote couldn't open his refinery there. crazy crZy

You are not far from the truth. That is why the terrorism problem is a problem of underdevelopment. The only thing saving the West from such is the existence of these motor park touts and other menial jobs. Imagine we pull out those so called 'agberos' from our roads and there are no jobs for them? They will also go into kidnapping and robbery. I think while it is more prominent in the North; The problem of overpopulation is a National one. Out of School children are everywhere without the requisite skills to even do 'handwork'.
We should stop giving birth to more children than we can take care of plssssssssssss!

Still didn't change the fact that majority of your women are who+res and your men drug dealers. And yes the north are everything you said but last time I checked,I don't see them blaming others for their own failures.

SOUTHWEST SKULLS MINERS ARE THE MAIN PROBLEMS.....Imagine digging a grave to harvest skull for ritual and even go as far as killing and harvesting human organs in the name of one nonsense 'oshole' I use to think that southwest are the most educated region but was wrong when I encountered their so-called graduates who do nothing other than to brag.
The south east on the other hand are not that educated but are far more educated than the south west region but their stupidity which makes them foolish in all aspects of life is the believe that all northerners are hausas.

I watched when they were shouting time for South to produce next president, I was expecting them to come to round table btw South w, E and S and discuss how it could be achieved, rather West started quoting unimaginable quotes all in d name of being too wise and too smart in politics. Power will still go back to North and North will keep holding power as far as their is Nigeria.

they are back warders.. If the south can unite, we won't be like this anymore. I grew up in the SW.. They don't care at all, so far u drop owambe party, u have gotten there destiny.

The Nigeria we have today is a product of our collective attitude as a people not just a tribe or region.
Bad leadership and followership exists whether in the north or south of Nigeria.
Bad roads, poor healthcare delivery, unemployment, corruption, poverty, poor educational system etc, are all prevalent in every region in Nigeria.

More important than anything else, we should be calling for a restructuring of our minds to build an egalitarian society because there can't be unity without equity.
A society where people accept responsibility for their actions.
A society where monkey dey work and monkey dey chop.
And lastly, a society void of greed, where people understand the difference between want and need.
Imagine somebody accumulating wealth they can barely spend in 10 lifetimes while others remain hungry and poverty stricken because a few persons have decided to hoard what was meant for all for themselves alone.

Just look at the way you tactically dodge the main topic. Which one is restructure of the mind? The utopia nation you see in your dream is not in existence in any part of the world.

Human are created to be selfish, stubborn and lazy, it is the society through law and order that shape and control citizen behaviour.

Nigeria need outright restructure where equity and fairness would be the standard rule.

How come you ended up recommending equity and fairness when you claimed I completely deviated from the subject matter??

I already talked about an egalitarian society but here you are telling me that humans are created stubborn and blablabla...

FYI, humans are not created stubborn. Human behaviour is to a large extent influenced by environment and the kind of orientation they get from the ab-initio.
I also agree with you that there is no perfect society anywhere in the world, but you too would agree that some climes are definitely saner than others and I believe that is what every sound mind should look forward to.
Back to your question in bold
Mind restructuring in this context simply means to place our minds in a state of awareness that humanity should be placed above everything else in the existential hierarchy of mankind. The awareness that not just our own interest, but other people's interests matters as well.
Things would be different if we could first of all see humanity before we see our ethnic or religious differences. This can only be achieved by going back to the drawing board to teach the younger generation the importance of humanity and a judicious enforcement of law and orderliness amongst the older generation without fear or favour.
Considering the current nigerian situation, regional restructuring can't be as effective as many people think with the kind of orientation we currently have because even if the social unit is as small as a nuclear family, it will still be in total chaos if our minds are not structured to see humanity first before anything else. This is because the problem of majority and minority will continue to persist except you are only craving for restructuring where your tribe will be the majority.
The man from Anambra considers himself to be more igbo than the man from Enugu.
The man from Oyo considers himself to be more Yoruba than the man from Osun.
Engage the Igala man from Kogi and tell him you heard Kogi people eat dog and he will simply tell you it's not a common practice among them but the Yoruba people in Kogi west.
Tell the Bende LG man that you were told Abia people eat humans and watch him point fingers at the people of Isialangwa and vice versa.

Stop preaching what is not applicable in real life. There is nothing like seen yourself as the next man to you.

Even your point corroborated it as we are majorly influenced by our environment. There is Igbo identity, Yoruba, Igala Hausa Fulani identity, but what is Nigeria identity?

What are the cultural and traditional values that makes us one?

Don't mention religion or Nigeria state because all that are products of foreigners, Nigeria people can never be one as there is no orientation that would erase the natural inborn trait that makes us different.

Why do we continue to lie to ourselves when the problem is staring us in the face?

Why don't we agree that our foundation is faulty and we are not one and if we want to agree to live together should be our collective decision?

Why do we term the creation of white as an act of God? What is difficult in peaceful agreement or peaceful dissolution?

Why should we continue to allow our people to be killed because of one Nigeria? Who is really benefitting from one Nigeria?

Now who told you that conform with my belief? What if I placed religion above humanity based on my belief and culture, what if I placed success above humanity? Is there a general consensus for your assertion? This is where the problem lies, we understand things differently based on whom we are as different people. Unless we come to term with our differences and agree based on our own terms, then we would not have any headway as a country.

Nigeria is a country of different nation, to agree to be a country, the nation's must agree on their terms, that should be the foundation where every other things are build, the foundation of a family is marriage, which is agreement between husband and wife to come together

Have you heard of unity in diversity??
It seems you only wish to argue but ended up contradicting yourself. If you think that unity in diversity can't be achieved through proper orientation of the importance of humanity then why do you call for a regional restructuring that will still include different tribes? Why not call for a restructuring that would see a single ethnic group live independently? Why are you supporting a kind of restructuring that will see the igbo, ijaw, kalabari, ibibio, ikwere etc still jumbled up as one?
Since unity can't be achieved even with the slightest diversity, why not call for a restructuring that will see the whole social until fragmented into the smallest possible entity? Perhaps to nuclear families or even individuals so that we can all live independently of one another.
For you to dare to ask, what if you placed religion above humanity or what if you placed success above humanity simply shows the depth of how shallow any human being could think.
Finally, you asked what the cultural or traditional values that makes us one are...
It might interest you to know that we were not born with the cultural and traditional values you speak of but we all learnt it from our environment and that is the more reason it is possible to find a common unifying factor that can make us coexist through teaching, learning, reorientation and proper enforcement of laws and orderliness.

Then agitate for a restructuring that will consist of only your tribe, family or even yourself as an individual so that you can live independently as you wish. This is how people like you will call for restructuring so that you can have other minority tribes under yours to lord over them.
If there's no way the hausa, igbo, yoruba and idoma man can be united and live in peace according to you, then there's no way the igbo, ikwere, ijaw and ibibio man can live in peace either.
People are wiser now and the idea of "divide and rule" won't work as easily as you expect so deal with it.

He is trying to be politically correct. Such people don't face facts and believe they're more intelligent than everyone else.

Someone says the north is Nigeria's problem? How do you counter that easily with honesty? Impossible! All you have to do is to check all available developmental indices and see it's true.

Start with literacy rate. Kano has a literacy rate below 30%. Look at poverty indices, same thing. Then Islamic terrorism. Just to name a few. And then each election, if things don't go their way, they turn destructive.

They claim to have a population larger than the south, now imagine where Nigeria would be if that population is half as productive as the population down south ( which, permit me to say can hardly be described as terribly productive, but at least there's a semblance of sanity here).

Just two days ago, a train was attacked by this same northerners. If you know the importance of railway to a country's development, then you'll see clearly that as long as the north remains a part of Nigeria, the country is not going to develop.
