There is no point to restructure if every community wont handle their resources

Kalabari, ikwere and okrika have nearly zero oil anodoni has a few, opobo has small

Obigbo, omuma, ogba abd ndoni produce 80% of rivers oil if not more since ogoni oil is not being mined for now

RodgersAkpafu:
Once again
you are making ret@rded comments.
you cannot judge am entire ethnic group by the actions of one man.

Tinubu is an identity thief, criminal and corruption fellow
does it mean every Yoruba person is corrupt and dodgy?
We have terrorists like Shekau and co from the North, with boko haram and other terror groups operating up north
does it make a typical northerner a terrorist?

even in America, there are gangs and violence because of these gangs. Does it mean that every black American is a gangster?

Use your brain, and remove your head from the arse of tribal bigotry. it will do you no good at all
I should normally not be entertaining your stuuupidity but I don’t mind playing this game with you so you don’t think you’re making sense.
Firstly, can you prove that allegation that he is truly an identity thief? If you’re caught and made a scapegoat like Kanu now, your clans will start begging and calling on the UN and international communities.
Secondly, you said Boko Haram and other terrorist groups are operating in the north, can you mention these other terrorist GROUPS please?
Now back to my assertion, I’m still standing by my words. When a people are becoming known for a particular thing, it’s not out of place to generalize and profile every single one of them. I’m a Yoruba man and I wouldn’t be offended if you think I’m a ritualist just because of the terrible things our prodigal brothers from Ogun state are doing. The person profiling me to be a ritualist will also be seeing an astute and intelligent person/politician who sure knows the power of diplomacy. He sees a man who knows when to fight and when to make friends. He sees a man who doesn’t easily follow the tide (unlike the SE people who are easily swayed and above all, he sees a man who is helplessly accommodating and welcoming. Just as I am profiled to be ritualistic is the same way I can’t trust an ibo man because you’re known to be deceitful, criminal-minded, ritualistic (just not as rampant as it is in the SW and Ogun state in particular), baby-factories-enterprise-minded, fraudulent, fake-products-production-minded, “whorelistic”(especially Owerri) and money-worshipping and despite all these vices, I still see an enterprising and hardworking man who can live and survive anywhere outside his home country.
In the same vein, if I see a typical northerner, the dark side that first comes to mind is that I’m seeing a religion bigot who can kill over his religion, a hot-tempered man who is violent and can get violent and uncivil over small altercation. On the positive side, I’m seeing a very down-to-earth, trustworthy fellow whose yes is yes and whose no is no and a man who doesn’t worship money and doesn’t believe money must be made in every way possible— legal or illegal.
So if you don’t want to be profiled, talk to your people and start making the change with yourself and your immediate family. People profile you and your ethnicity based on their experiences with your people and it’s very natural.

These people are still wallowing in the past!
We have gone past regionalism!
States should be given full autonomy according to true federalism to stand on its own and use it's own resources for the benefit of its domain or citizens while giving an agreeable percentage to the centre every month!
This is what the Americans that we copied federalism are currently doing!
What we are currently practicing is feeding bottle federalism making state governors lazy and LGA chairmen docile!
The Senate must start with the decentralization of policing,resource control and ports!
Let every state fend for themselves and watch how development will reach everyone!

Since we are doing comparison,can we start with the value of both country's currency?
Are you not aware that we haphazardly copied the structure of America?
We have gone past regionalism!
What we need is the full implementation of fiscal federalism!
Every state should have their own police!
Every state should be given full autonomy to enjoy the benefits of their natural resources!
Every viable state should have their own access to seaports!

God bless you for this. Federalism is the best but are we practicing true federalism in Nigeria? The answer is no. What we practice here in Nigeria is parasitism where resources from one state is used to feed the other lazy ones. We claimed to be practicing the American federalism yet we abandoned the core of the system.
If we can’t practice true federalism then we should go back to the prosperous regionalism that was abolished by that jinxed ibo man in 1966. He did the abolishment because of his own selfish ambition and the domineering attitude that the igbos are known for. The system was yielding results at the time but he felt threatened that it would limit his federal power as the then head of state (president)
I will keep saying it, the igbos are the roots of the problems we are facing today as a nation. An Igbo man vehemently opposed the proposal that would have made it easy for any region to leave Nigeria anytime they felt the need to. Yes, you heard me right, the SE (Biafra) would have easily left Nigeria if Nnamdi Azikwe, out of his envy and quest for power, didn’t oppose the secession clause proposal made by Obafemi Awolowo. Again, another group of ibo men started the first-ever bloody coup that snowballed the country into her first-ever bloodshed (civil war)
Today, the children of the greedy Azikwe are now begging to have that Awolowo’s idea that was trashed by their visionless and short-sighted father. Make everybody siddon, sit tight and enjoy this inglorious marriage called Nigeria abeg grin We die hia

We copied but it has failed us woefully. Prior to copycat we were doing well when we practiced regionalism.

The value of the currency was far better when we practiced regionalism. The reason we need a change back to what has worked for us.

So, it's common sense we have to move away from this shocking federalism that was forceful forced on us by the military government.

and not a Confederal system of government

I don't understand. Has the bill being passed already for Tinubu to sign?

Anyways we wait and see.

I hope true restructuring and regionalism happens where each state is in charge of it's resources and gives a percentage to the centre.

That is when true growth will happen everywhere cos we can drag the Govornors the more
I for-se a lot of problem in the south south over the control of crude oil if the bill to restructure Nigeria finally becomes a law.

GRADUALLY we are getting there, even if it will take years to implement.

Until we respect our tribal and ethnical differences and uniquenesses, and RESTRUCTURE Nigeria into regions accordingly, Nigeria will not make significant progress.

A UNITED REGIONS OF NIGERIA (URN) is much better than this current version of "One Nigeria" by force.

The only problem here is the SE that may want to join the core North against regionalism based on the fact well known to them. SW, SS and NC are very much interested in regionalism.
Christians minorities in NW & NE will understandably not want regionalism.
You must be high on cow dung
So those fighting for Biafra will now reject regionalism?!

Racoon:
Hehehe! Nice one! After all Tinubu and all his cohorts in the ACN and APC were staunch advocates of restructuring to regionalism back then. This is one of the reason the refused to attend the 2014 confab, but his first priority was to bastardized the economy then change national anthem.So it would seem it is a generational thing as the oldies yearn for the glorious days of their childhood, while we who were shaped in the military mould, hold on to the things the military gave to us.

If a return to old anthem can be done, then a return to regional governments or better political restructuring can be effected by a democratic government. It is time for democratic Nigeria to shape Nigeria, instead of just living the system the military regimes put in place to usher a return to democracy.

If Tinubu got balls, let him move beyond this mental rejiging of Nigerians and see through with the necessary changes to national life.ACN bloc campaigned all their life about restructuring, it will be the greatest disservice if Tinubu won't complete that restructuring with all the power it seems he wields. Now the time beckons.


What power does he wield?

The gradual deconstruction of this contraption of an entity is gradually unfolding. Guess Shettima that said "restructuring my foot" will not be angry now? Meanwhile, thought the NASS and the Tinubu led presidency all vehemently denied that there is no plan to return to regional government?
