Nigeria may not continue as one country but Nigerians will not collapse. Lagos meets certain needs and such needs will still have to be met. If there is restructuring, there will be economic and demographic revolutions. There will be massive migration to the south south States, Ondo, Ogun and Lagos States. The prices of meat, tomatoes, onions, beans Yams,groundnut etc will triple because the States Governments where they are produced will levied great taxes on them or start exporting them to shore up their IGR. IMO and Abia States have minimal oil which will just be enough to sustain them. Every State will eventually survive but the initial hardship will cause great distress ScotsReferendum: 1 Like |

Blue3k: The only reason South East IGR is low is due to lack of proper tax collections systems. the millions of houses in our villages alone, imagine collecting property taxes on the houses that only can fund our educational and healthcare system with easy. |

Truth be told, everyone benefits from the economics of scale of our unity in terms of the wide range of resources, human and material each region possesses, where each makes contributions to the centre for redistribution for our common good as individuals irrespective of where you come from or where you chose to stay; however, when some pp driven by greed and resentment of others decide they want to hold onto to their contribution for themselves, then they are automatically undermining the basis of that union; because it would be disingenuous to hold onto yours and still wanting to benefit from the same union. There is no two way about it; either you stay and share or go on your own. Its like the parts of making the human body, some like the heart, brain, liver etc are essential to life; while others like the limbs, ears, eyes, etc are not essential but without which will make the individual unwholesome and quite inefficient and the contribution of such latter body parts may go unappreciated until the day its function is lost. This latter scenario played itself out in the recent Kaduna declaration; where the mere threat of eviction may some ppl realise their vulnerability and co-dependency on the union. Therefore if some ppl say they want to hold onto their resources, be it oil etc, well so be it; but just remember that everyone can also play the same game. The north, which some ppl erroneously consider as parasite, has to its advantage it a vast arable land mass, an untapped wealth of mineral resources (including potential for oil) and most importantly its young expanding population - and therefore a primed ready made market for goods and services which can be selectively opened and closed to other nations depending existing relationship. 1 Like |

Teedamaniac: The figures for Ogun are correct. Ogun is the top mining state in nation 5 yrs running. It's has one biggest FDI in nation. It's also has alot of manufacturing and agricultural products. The state has been steadily growing Delta IGR fell in 2016 as well. Akwa Ibom has never had higher IGR. It's still pursuing it agenda with industrialization. Then we still have get port completed along with industrial city. We are improving but we have much more work to be done. The goal should be getting IGR to Rivers and Delta level first. Then on to bigger targets. drnoel: You can't even read yet you want to argue with me. The pie chart is broken into regions. SW includes more states than Lagos. Lol go sit down. 5 Likes |

jumobi1:I have also made similar comments of certain states being merged with others; but the fact is what ever state has been formed should sit up and get independent. If you cannot add value to yourself and you have to be merged with others to survive, you can then best be described as a parasite and become a burden to the others you are merged with. |

He is not nightmare of Afonja or anybody. Most of the pro-Biafran should do a reality check. 1) Biafra is too dependent on the Zoo! 2) Biafra will depend on the Zoo for its electricity. Egbin ,Papalanto and Omotosho thermal Stations produce about 50% of the electricity generation presently while Kanji and Shiroro hydroelectric Stations in Niger State generate about 25%. Which thermal or hydroelectric power stations is on Biafran soil? 3) Biafra will have to be buying electricity at international rates (where will they get Forex?) and the Zoo can decide not to 'export' electricity 4) Biafra may be in darkness until they are able to build coal fired power stations which will not be feasible overnight. 5) Biafra CANNOT refine or export crude oil within it's border. It will take sometimes to build refineries, so expect unprecedented fuel scarcity. 6)Biafra will need Meat, leather, pepper, onions, groundnuts and other agricultural produce from the North. 7) Biafra will need sea ports either in the south south or s/west. ...In short,Biafra will still depend on its neighbours either as Nigeria or Niger-delta or Oduduwa Republics so grow up bro and stop insulting other Nigerians, we are more interdependent or even interrelated than you, Nnamdi KANU or IPOB think or acknowledge.

Ebonyi State, one of the avoidable mistake of Igbos, stemming out of sentiments. If only they had succeeded in creating Anioma state instead of Ebonyi? My LGA was once in Enugu, before the creation of Ebonyi. Is it the state aborigines you want to talk about.....? The state government should sit up and stop this senseless excuses.

The dude is correct. I guess the recent glamor for restructure in Nigeria is deceitful. Majority of people want total disintegration of Niger-Area. Some states cannot sustain the demand of day-to-day running of the government with this nonsensical restructure however nation states could manage initial shortfalls with new innovations in the system of government. |

Amberon11:Since when did you start the secession idea? The Delta would do well with restructuring. States that are heavily dependent should be merged. The USA is functioning as one unit because every state is independent. That should be our utmost goal and not secession. What happend to your mail again, by the way? |

River Imo for navigating by ocean liners You see your self? Who did the feasibility study for you? Who is going to dredge it and who is going to pay for it and for how long will it take? Do you have the power to start dredging a river that has flown into another Country? Can Niger Republic come to Nigeria to start dredging the river Niger because it wants to gain access to the sea? What's the volume if goods it can transpot? These are the pertinent questions you should be asking Nnamdi KANU, instead of ranting Afonja upandan . You need more of intellectual debates on this your self chosing secessionist path than emotional ranting online shouting Afonja as if the legendary Warrior always torment you in your dreams ScotsReferendum: 1 Like |

The poor governor is being honest. But maybe not being visionary. Anyway I SUPPORT restructuring however, let us give it a TIMELINE. Let's say 5 years from now so that all the proposed federating units can PREPARE! I kid you not, restructuring will be cruel if done ill-timed. It will be like weaning a baby. Babies are weaned gradually. So it should be about Nigeria's restructuring. This is my view. 1 Like |

Make I laugh....the governor say him no want restructuring.... See i had this argument with a friend once....during one of the usual clamor for state creation. We argued on why there was always a cry for more states.... The reason is simply because some people feel the national cake is not reaching them.......A lot of the states in Nigeria add no values in terms of revenue to the center they are purely reliant on Nigeria......the leaders in these states are absolutely clueless on how to make their states functional.......all they do is sit down waiting to share money.......shout for more states so that more money can enter their pockets With restructuring, each state will spend what it generates and send a percentage to the center......If it happens you will see some states begging to be merged with others.........Politicians will not even want to contest in some states because it will not be wort it.....Being the president will not be a big deal as the center will have the least revenue.... Its the way to go and most sure way to get this country running again 2 Likes |
