Woke up this morning , saw the topic northern groups urge north to vote against Tinubu because they feel restructuring and true federalism is anti north I have been saying this for years ,north and south west would be the biggest beneficiary of restructuring in Nigeria , the potential for the north is huge , I mean potential of a trillion dollars economy from northern Nigeria alone it's massive Their land is their biggest asset ...let me explain ... If Nigeria restructures , every region police , themselves ,control their land n resources meaning you can stop selling lands , instead Renting it out to cooperate farms for 20% to 35% equity ...say even if it's 20% equity ... Say zamfara sets out 300,000 hectares ( they can do this easily 5 times over ) to cooperate farms to farm say sweet potatoes ...with a yield of say 35 tons per hectare ...that's 10.5 million tons ...plant twice a year that's 21 million tons ,say $600 dollers a ton that's 12.6 tons ...say profit margin is 25% ...thats 3.2 billion dollars ...the state takes 20% 630 million dollars or 450 billion , is zamfara getting 200 billion a year from FAC ? You would tax the business 5 percent profit tax that's over $120 million dollars , or 85 billion minimum Government in partnership with the cooperate farmers sets up series of starch , glucose, frutose or ethnol production facilities This raw potatoes can produce 5.1 million tons of starch ,millions of litres of glucose n ethnol ...million of tons of animal feed and compost fertilizers ...this is just one mehn Just tired abeg |

Lie from the pit of hell! Vote Atiku and see if this country will not be RESTRUCTURED. The North was not the region that reverted us to this stupid and satanic presidential system. Go and check your history. So far so good in this election Atiku has been the only candidate so bold with his Devolution of Power and Restructuring agenda and the last time I checked he is not an Igbo man or Yoruba man. The East is the region that does not want this country Restructured. QED! Tire for yourself! |

Why you igbo accusing other wrongly? Some ignorant people believe that north are the one causing problems to this country. Are you following green chamber and red chamber and see if southeast are in support of restructuring. The fact is that igbo representatives not in support of restructuring. |

Felimax:I think has proven to be a very deceitful character who doesn’t say what he means. Atiku has just been using restructuring as a campaign slogan but not really committed to it. Because he cannot restructure this country which will disadvantage the north. This inequality is favouring the north and that’s why they want the status quo maintained. But Obi is coming to set things aright in this country. |

mrvitalis:The current structure has made them so lazy that they don’t want to work. They want to be collecting allocation from Abuja. |

The poor among them don't know anything. So whatever their elite decide for them, that's final. |

When the south (Obasanjo's 8years and Jonathan's 5&half years) had the opportunity to be in power what action did they take to ensure that true federalism come to stay? If anyone care to know, the south remains the main reason true federalism has not been implemented.... Take for example, Jonathan spent 7billion naira to organize people together from all spheres in Nigeria to form the national conference in march 17th, 2014 and it was even televised live for people to watch. The major conclusion and recommendations of the comfab meeting was restructuring and true federalism, but guess what, as good as those recommendations were then, could you believe Jonathan kept those documents thinking he'll use it to canvass for votes and will later ensure the implementation when he enters for second tenure. If you care to know more, you can google to confirm when Jonathan later submitted the national conference report to the senate, it was barely 48 hours to the expiration of his tenure I hope you can see the reasons I felt southern leaders are the major reasons true federalism as not come to stay |

mrvitalis:Why do you think the North removed restructuring in the first place? It was Gowon, a Northerner, who abolished the 4 Regions Nigeria had, created the first 12 states and removed resource control. Subsequent military dictators, all from the North, kept subdividing those 12 states until we got to 36. Had democracy not returned, they would have made it over 50 states by now They did away with the Regions and resource control because it prevented the North from having political and economic control of Nigeria. When you have 4 Regions controlling their resources, the powers of the Federal government becomes limited. But when you have multiple states running to the federal government every month for subvention, just to survive, the federal government becomes God The truth is that the economy and much of the wealth of Nigeria, is in the South. That is why the North needs political power to be in the North. The current system makes this possible, a restructured Nigeria does not |

Penguin2:Just imagine the way you are making fool of yourself! Imagine! Obi that lacks the will to comprehensively say what he wants to come and do is the one I should trust! The one I could hold to what he told me in his manifesto I should not trust him. Abi? Truly, this country is cursed with people with the worst kind of thinking faculty. You mean I should trust Obi who just came from nowhere and was made a saint by this kind of your reasoning. I swear, it's not your fault. I blame myself for sharing same country with some of you guys.

Felimax:The Buhari that you can hold by his own manifesto, what have you been able to do to him after he failed in almost all his campaign promises? |

mrvitalis:That statement was made by ignorant fellows, just read through and you will see people trying to give a very silly reason for not supporting a candidate. The north was at its best during the period of regions, its arguable if the north has made as much progress from 70s till date like it made in the 60s. Those so called groups neither speak for the north nor are even known, most of them are inconsequential and pull no weight whatsoever. Many or most northerners are in support of restructuring, just that they use a different term for it. The people against restructuring are mainly elite and a few with an axe to grind. |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Raheeqilmaktoom: 10:39am On Jan 20, 2023 |
Penguin2:Atiku espoused restructuring as far back as 2004, part of the reason some section of the elite are against him. |

Shut up your smelly IPOB mouth, when people with resources are talking Osu people who are known parasites and criminals in this country will follow talk. |

The North isn't, it's the elites benefiting from polling resources together rather than hard work that is against restructuring |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Raheeqilmaktoom: 11:14am On Jan 20, 2023 |
Penguin2:How so please? |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Felimax(m): 11:17am On Jan 20, 2023 |
Penguin2:Buhari's monumental failure is what Tinubu is suffering today. If the APC had done well nobody will be talking about bringing back PDP. The level of democracy we still enjoy today is as a result of the way PDP handled issues and the few things they were able to put in place. APC is signing out as the worst so far. Presently there are lots of places APC campaign officials are working for PDP and that is the reality. Buhari failed and his party is getting the backlash big time. As it stands I don't even know what to hold Obi for! Who does that? |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Felimax(m): 11:18am On Jan 20, 2023 |

mrvitalis:à They won't agree. The quota system has made them lazy. You just need to score 2 to enter a unity school in Borno. Am on the road. I will share my experience concerning this quota system of a thing |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Penguin2: 12:03pm On Jan 20, 2023 |
Felimax:You still haven’t answered my question… Have you been able to hold Buhari to his campaign promises or not? |

The south will ensure it happens .. |

gidgiddy:it was ironsi who federalised Nigeria oga |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Cromagnon: 5:39pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
gidgiddy: Ironsi federalised Nigeria They did away with the Regions and resource control because it prevented the North from having political and economic control of Nigeria. E e have 36 regions They're all lazy The truth is that the economy and much of the wealth of Nigeria, is in the South. That is why the North needs political power to be in the North. The current system makes this possible, a restructured Nigeria does notyet the South has also not exploited it? Only oil that is distracting all And nothing stops any state from bulging refinery or drilling Dangote just priced this |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by gidgiddy: 5:41pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
Cromagnon:Thats the lie they have been telling against Ironsi for a long time, but unfortunately for them, Gowons Decree 14 and 15 is everywhere on the internet and tells the truth |

mrvitalis:is politician a corporation? Did you run for office? |
| Re: I Really Don't Understand Why North Is Against Restructuring And True Federalism by Cromagnon: 5:45pm On Jun 13, 2023 |
gidgiddy:Ironsi removes power from the regions as ibo usually do Gowon just went from 2 protectorate to 4 Regions. Read well Decree 34 was signed by ironsi |
