Edited: Protesters should please focus on non performing state governors. They are the worst. Sanwo Olu is ok. Please leave him alone. Let’s have a Federal Government, Regional Government and Local Government only. The state governments are are just too useless, agents of massive looting and we don’t feel much of their impact. It will also cut down on the cost of governance. 3 Likes |

Restructuring will be on the basis of state autonomy like the US. Gowon killed regionalism for good! Zooposki: |

DMerciful:And Ironsi abolished region system forever and ever Sometimes, I wish we could just skip that his part of history and we all will be enjoying it all today A very myopic leader |

We did not copy it well hence the need for restructuring. The state needs to be autonomous with their own constitution, supreme court, resource control, electoral commission, tax system, state police. With these, states would grow at their own pace and rapidly Zooposki: |

Truth be told most state governors are just treasury accounts for the state elites, who are fed first Whatever is left is used to pay salaries, then whats left is used for round-about building and potholes fixing. 1 Like |

Gowon abolished the regions. Ironsi was killed 40 days after unifying the civil service. Clearly he wasn't around to enforce it, that means Gowon enforced it. Gowon also broke the 4 regions to 12 states CyrusVI: |

CyrusVI:Ironsi wanted to be in firm control of the entire country, but he was still assassinated. The problem of Nigeria is not the kind of laws that govern the country. The problem is that Nigerians, irrespective of tribe and religion, are too evil. If Nigerians genuinely wanted to build this country, we wouldn't be here wishing that Ironsi didn't abolish regionalism. Those who came after him and realised that states weren't working would have reversed them immediately, especially the juntas. 1 Like |
