Revolution that will turn to tribalism ba.

It was shocking to see Apc urchins spread rumors that Ipob/Igbo are responsible for the destruction of properties in Lagos,I was there live and direct when agberos invaded the Onipanu police station.
How are people speaking Yoruba ordering for fuel Igbos or Ipob.
What about those wey weer oba bata,are they also Igbo??
Tribalism no go gree this Country to achieve anything meaningful.

Tribal hatred may kill Nigeria if we don't kill it. It hasn't been this bad.

That's the big issue now....
Re: Politically, If We Are To PROGRESS, We Have To Start Asking The Right Questions! by ablejesus26(m): 7:53pm On Feb 11, 2024
Restructure the Country at once.

It has become a matter of urgency.

It's just a shame that this Apc disaster is not here to make Nigeria better all that matters to them is winning elections.

Restructure Nigeria using the 6 geopolitical zones as template.


Let Nigeria function as 6 independent countries known as Regions operating under one umbrella called Nigeria, each region will have absolute control of their security, education, resource generation and control while a certain agreed percentage will be remitted to the central government. Let's say, regions without crude oil or enough crude oil can remit 20% of their revenue to central government while regions with high valued natural resources like crude remits between 30 - 35% to the central government.


The central government will only focus on foreign affairs, securing our national borders etc, while regions handle their regional security, education, resource control, regional economy, etc.


Each region will have their own regional Police to focus on local Policing while central government operate a federal Police that only Police federal highways only.


With this, each region can decide how they want to run and operate their region to develop it and this will lead to growth competition.


The central government leadership will be rotated among the 6 regions on a four year tenure. When it's the turn of any region, they should nominate candidates and we vote or central parliament vote the best among them.


Merge Senate and Reps to become one federal parliament from where leader of the central government will be elected.


Anything less will never work in Nigeria with the current Nigerian arrangement and system of government

This is Really Thoughtful.

This Seem As A Vital Solution To Our Present Nigeria Woes.



How Do We Get These Suggestion Propelled HEAVILY AND POLITICALLY in Nigeria ?



We Need To Push This Particular Suggestion To The Front-Page of Nairaland To Make People Stand Together For This One Course!

If only Nairaland mods and owner want Nigeria to truly function, maybe Nairaland would have served as a platform to push for this to gain traction online and offline.

At This Juncture; We Need 6 Personalities From The 6 Geopolitical Zones of Nigeria Who Can Represent Each Geopolitical Zones in The Matter Arising To RESTRUCTURE NIGERIA.


We Need To Strategically Come Up With A Proposal Targeted Towards The House of Representatives Seeking For The Restructuring of Nigeria.

See Below!
Proposal: Proposed amendments to the constitution are usually introduced as bills. These bills can originate from either the Executive branch or a Member of the National Assembly.

Legislative Approval: The proposed amendment must be passed by a two-thirds majority vote in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

State Approval: After passing through the National Assembly, the proposed amendment must be approved by at least two-thirds of the State Houses of Assembly.

Presidential Assent: Once the proposed amendment has been approved by the National Assembly and the State Houses of Assembly, it requires the assent of the President of Nigeria.

You short sighted bigots had the opportunity to rescue Nigeria from it's claws of thieves, no but you choose the path of tribalism shouting Away lokan'.

Thanks For This.

Let's All Take Some Time To Create Some Bills That We Can Push To The National Assembly.

Something Around Solving The Food Emergency in Nigeria.

With This Bill, We Can Grow Towards Further Needed Societal Solutions Needed in Nigeria.



Let's All Come Up With Useful Societal Solutions in The Area of Agriculture That We Can Tender For The Entire 774 Local Government Areas within 3 Weeks.

Bills are to be crafted and checked by knowledgeable lawyers/SANs. We can only urge them to do what is right!
I'm more surprised that the LP candidates in the National assembly and reps are silent.
Even the bill to amend the electoral law is being sponsored by an APC member.

The permanent solution is to make Nigerians rich enough to be able to afford electricity

90% of people who can afford 24 hours electricity have 24 hours electricity and they pay minimum of 200k a month to get that which is relatively cheap for me

Electricity has never been an issue in Nigeria people just assume its an issue... Most Nigerians just have this wishful thinking of have cheap and constant electricity

Ask Ghanaians, south Africans, Cameroonians and the rest how much they pay for electricity bill per month

We want constant electricity but we don't need it right now

Hmmmm.


This is another deep direction less talked about.


Constant Electricity Comes with Enough Money To Pay For The Bills.


So, Your Direction Keys Us To Focus on The Government of Nigeria To Providing Adequate Paying Jobs And Opportunities For The Nigerian Youths....






This is Valid.

The issue is we have two ideology in Nigeria right now I would name them after the brightest in the two fields

The Osibanjo ( Awolowo, zik ,Bello,Buhari,tinubu,Umaih ,them plenty even Otti ) APC ideology

And the Obi( Micheal Okpara) PDP ideology

Since 2015 we shifted to the Osibanjo ideology
Take out corruption and nepotism, the best
APC believes is this

"Let's borrow/reduce cost of governance and build our infrastructure, tackle corruption, try to earn good reputation to attract investors to come and invest then create jobs for our people "

To APC infrastructure is the catalyst to kick start the economic growth of Nigeria

This is ideally their intention in pure form if you out corruption



The Obi ideology is this

" Let's borrow /reduce costs of governance use the money gained to invest in the people especially the business community, give them access to cheap credit, help them grow while focusing minimally on infrastructure only needed infrastructure

When the businesses grow you tax them use the money to build infrastructure

Obi believes only investment in the people (SMEs) cooperative funding, grant to manufacturers can stimulate economy growth


Go watch Obi vs Osibanjo debate 2019

I am a firm believer in the Obi ideology, we have never really tried it... We have seen the APC ideology and it's results

I had to take a deep breath after reading this.


It's one thing to have a paper work. It is another thing to execute the paper work.


However; I would really love to see Peter Obi in Power After Tinubu's Regime.


Personally; I don't think the Solution To The Problems of Nigeria Lies in The Hands of Any Politician.

One Politician Cannot Solve Our Problem.


The Foundation of Our Problem Lies in The Abandonment of Agriculture.


We Cannot Solve All The Problems in Nigeria At Once.

However; We Can Deliberately Solve The Agricultural Problems of All 774 Local Government Areas in Nigeria By Actively Investing in Food Plantations, Processing, Storage And Distributions.


Once We Can Redirect The Focus of The Federal Government Towards This Direction; We Will Surely Solve One of Our Most Prevailing Integral Forms of Poverty in Nigeria Which is "THE POVERTY of HUNGER AND STARVATION".

You don't grow an economy by producing to feed yourself.. Or reducing import

You grow economy by increasing export

Agriculture can't do anything for Nigeria, there is little it can do

Garment industry alone can employ more people( middle class) than agriculture

Agriculture is primitive mindset

Your Point About Growing The Export of A Country Over The Import is Somewhat Right.

However;

What does Nigeria have to export if not Agricultural Produces ?



You are very wrong to claim that Agriculture is Primitive. This Wrong Mentality of Yours is The Reason Your Leaders Are Not Investing Rightly in Agriculture.

And You Already See The Result.


When You Talk About Garment Industry Doing Better To Improve Peoples Life Than Agriculture Would Do; You Are ONLY Shooting Yourself on Your Feet Because The So-called Garment Industries Are Integral Niche of The Clothing Aspect of Agriculture.


Agriculture Encompasses "Food, Clothing and Shelter".



So, Your Point Here About Agriculture Being A Primitive Mindset is ILL.

Don't You Eat Everyday ?

So, If You Have Improved Agricultural Productions in Nigeria Bringing About Cheap Food Items, Will You Consider This As A Primitive Solution?
