There are some of you that your main problem is your inability to wean yourself from critical and judgmental mind. What does Yoruba you called Afonja have to do with this interview? How can we have people with your frame of mind in Nigeria and we think there is future for the country? Your vituperations are failure of sound development of intellect. Can't we dissect, pick out strengths and jettison the odds? If a man proposed restructuring but still desires that his concept of restructuring should be one that regions should depend on FG to sustain themselves is that far different from present system. The fundamental issue in any restructuring is fiscal autonomy of the regions. Federal Government should bother itself about exclusive common matters to the existence of unity but not on fundamental matters that states can handle better. There are quotes strengths in his interview as well as odds.
Think before you write. Stop wasting your data on frivolity.

The man made some points especially in educational sector but its not the fault of the south that the north is educationally backward, so it's only proper that their leaders should address that issue, Gej tried in addressing that issue but we all know how things are done in this country

The part am strongly against in all his points is the part which he says "Allocation should come directly from the federal government"
which allocation is he talking about?
its just like turning an old wine into a new bottle, nothing changes about the content,
My point is that each region should control their resources and every state can operate independently without waiting for any form of allocation but it should b agreed that a certain percentage should b paid to d federal government from all the regions which can be use to address issues of national concern and to unify the country since we are not advocating for separation totally. One other thing is that it will weaken the federal government and make it unattractive for do or die politicians
Secondly it will means competition among the states in terms of development and encourage every region to source for ways to maximize their potentials
The federal government will still control a lot of agencies which like the military, anti graft agency etc so as to monitor all the regional governments so that they don't turn it into their personal enterprise
I love to go on but I will stop here

Unfortunately he still has d lazy, socialist mentality and expects allocation from the central federal government.



What is that crap? Where will d FG draw d funds to share as allocation from? Is it not from d regions? Why should a group of people commandeer resources not theirs and redistribute by whatever sharing formula? The regions should be self reliant and then contribute to the centre an agreed percentage.

Thank you.
It is these handouts by the Ferderal Government that has made Governors and LG Chairs lazy and begarrly.

They cannot use their brains to create wealth and create a conducive environment within their states to attract investments (local and foreign). POTENTIAL resources are there doing nothing. From minerals, crude oil, manufacturing, tourism/hospitality etc.

A while ago they even had the guts and complained about recession. They sought bailout funds. Funds were given and till date, some cannot pay workers and have not paid workers for months!

As a Governor, your duty is to create a conducive environment for investment and the citizens/individuals within your state. Provide amenities (roads, drainage, sidewalks, public parks, metros, public waste bins, etc. etc) , provide security, provide justice, provide and ensure equity and provide an enabling system for investors to come in. You are to daily do things and engage in projects and programs that will make life safe, secure and comfortable. That way investors come in, people spend money and receive money. The system lubricates itself with value being transferred, services being rendered ND goods being produced and consumed.

We haven't had a Governor that knows these principles. Even if they do, the appeal of free money. Sitting down and not using your brain to create value for your State, is more appealing.

Allocations from the FG, once they come, is free money. Easy come easy go.

Every region should manage it's resources and develop itself,advancing at its own preferred pace. Any one that lags behind won't blame others. Anyone that appoints leaders who embezzle, their Own Cup of tea. If we think about it, isn't it what the Governor's should do under the currently arrangement? Food for thought.

How are we sure that with the available politicians, even the regional leaders won't be corrupt? Well, perhaps at least, the Center won't be far and the people would know their leaders better to make informed decisions.

This man speaks like a true patriot and I agree with most of what he says, but the major solution to Nigeria's problems is not restructuring, it is still fighting corruption. Both political and economic corruption. If you restructure the country into regions and the regional heads are corrupt and incompetent, how does that help? A major reason the north is educationally backwards is because their leaders have diverted their resources and allocations for their personal use, and there is no accountability. It is the same problem with the Niger Delta, and if you check very well, you'll see that both the north and Niger Delta have similar issues - educational backwardness, insurgency, poor infrastructural development. To blame that on the central government is just plain mental laziness.
Whatever the structure of the nation is is not as relevant as having competent, accountable and economically sound leaders...

The leaders are a result of the culture, therefore all who keep the culture alive are culpable. Not just the leaders but the everyday people.

Everyone from the parents who send their children to mallams to be abused and forced to beg to the parents who sell their daughters into sexual slavery known as Islamic child marriage. If they did not have so many children to fend for the people might have more energy and inclination to hold their wicked leaders to account. Unfortunately whenever the issue of child marriage or family planning are raised it is the common people who kick against it.

And lest I remind you it was the common people who sheltered and fed Boko Haram members just as it is the common people who are stealing food from IDP camps.

He lied that the colonial policy is the reason for a lack of education in the north.

They rejected anything that might lead people to question Islam so there were fewer mission schools established in the north. That wasn't because of the colonial powers, that was the northern elite working against the interests of the society (as per usual).

That they couldn't find a way to ensure that their people were formally educated without of their own accord is a damning indictment of the northern power structure.

Thank you my dear for that brilliant observation. The reverse should have been the case. I don't know why a region should be afraid of survival without other regions resources. This is total display of laziness..God has blessed every region with both human and natural resources to stand and survive alone like every individual is meant to survive with or without another.

That aboki character is a liar.

It was Buhari who was saying it would be wrong to treat Boko Haram like the terrorists that they are.

It was the local people who emboldened and fortified Boko Haram by supplying them with food, fuel and shelter from the security forces.

as you said you're entitled to your opinion but let me quickly correct your impression. southerners having properties in northern region, the same goes with northeners. infact among all the tribes in Nigeria Yoruba still remained accommodating tribe among all.

we don't take religion and tribe before humanity. why are u using hasty generalization just to gain sympathy.

you yourself know that southwest do not hate any tribe. infact the Igbo's always feel we love Hausa's more than our southern brothers


how many northern states can a non northerner runs out for election?


so therefore you remained Nigeria problem until y'all educate yourself and change your mindset on putting your religion and tribe before human

southern regions remains an utilitarianist in Nigeria most esp Southwest

… Says region can’t produce 100 engineers, but a local government in

South can produce 1000 engineers

From Noah Ebije, Kaduna





Sir, you spoke with passion and sincerity about the problems of the North, in this case, will you advise President Buhari to organise a national conference to replace that of former President Jonathan?

I don’t think he can because, I mean, he is not in any way politically different from former president Jonathan. President Buhari won’t do a better job from Jonathan . Let us find ways and means of agreeing for the need of the relevant national conference, and let us decide how it should come about.



You mean President Buhari is politically weak to organise a national confab?

No, I am saying that President Buhari is not different from Jonathan because Buhari is the product of the wasteful system we have been having for so long since the beginning of Nigeria. So you can’t expect him to do better than Jonathan. Maybe marginally, but not importantly because, for instance, he may have the courtesy to say that Nigeria should decide whether there should be a national conference or not, what is the agenda of the confab, Nigerians should elect who should participate in the conference, and so on. If he does that, he will definitely be ahead of Jonathan.
