You have made up your mind that the current flawed system is the best. Good for you. But remember how states proliferation began. It was to cause division. In particular against Biafra. Tactics for war is not necessary same for peace.
State currently spending 70% of income if reduced to 30%, that 40% can go a long way.

I notice that despite your claim to omniscience, you do not seem to know exactly which states or how many make up SS.
I never mentioned state police but regional police. Without much of the bureaucracy.

I think you rather want to twist than understand my points. When creating the new system, emphasis should be on why we are doing do. Reducing bureaucracy should be part of it.

Now, regarding know which govt tier does what. We just EU referendum in UK. UK has a higher % of educated people than 9ja. Yet survey has shown that those who voted against EU were largely the elderly (who generally have lower education) and the less educate people generally, old or young.

Basically those less likely to fully research and understand the implications of their vote.
Just because you and me know does not mean the generality of Nigerians know. That is a tad selfish. If you are OK, then others don't matter.

If our federal system was amenable to any real adjustment, it probably should have begun gradually already. But the set of kill and divide makes that impossible.


You just admitted that we have no responsible legislature, is it a symptom of current failed system?

However, we know the regions vehemently defending this current system and the real reason. Sadly, it is also to their own detriment.

Reference:
What devaluation is set to do is to force political decisions, decisions the owners of this country wish to avoid. It will force the lazy, lethargic man off his bed to his farm. Crude oil has failed. Instead of looking for a new rock to crawl under and hide, let Buhari restructure Nigeria now and put every part of this country to work.

The Naira was over-valued since oil became Nigeria's main stay and that discouraged diversification and industrialisation whilw promoting importation of everything due to cheap petrodollars

As it stands now, the smartest thing to reverse that trend is to further mark up the dollar to N400 and give tax paillaitives to companies, social buffers to Nigerians in terms of mass transport, housing schemes, food availability and quality education etc

In about 6 years Nigeria will find its self in a superb state

It is one thing to sit behind a radio listening to semi lunatics on radio biafr@, it is another subjecting most of their comments through the clinical prognosis of common sense and reality.
While those id!ots tell you that you have a flawed system, it has taken you two days to realize that a regional government is not the patch to whatever crack our system holds, why they suggest it is what should baffle you not trying to justify what you barely understand its machinations, overall, it will be smarter to find out who benefits more from a regional government, that will give you a clue which interest group is barking.
I have what to do!!
