Restructuring isn't the solution but true federalism and resource control is. Until each state generates revenue and take care of themselves without putting pressure at the centre, different agitations will spring forth

EXACTLY.

Their hope in creating more zones and more states is to even increase the cheating of Niger Delta of it's oil resources.

The first restructuring is fiscal federalism.

Niger Deltans must control their resources and pay 50% tax to the Federal government, as would every other region that has resources. So let us finally begin to mine the Lead in Zamfara and the Gold in Sokoto and pay 50% of the profit to the FG to share every state in Nigeria.

You will immediately see abookis that will argue 50% is too small for Niger Delta to pay as taxes to the FG and at the same time argue that 50% is too much for Fulani states to contribute to the center for sharing to other regions. They will want to contribute ZERO to the Federal Government but take the lion share of other peoples resources.

JohnXcel:
You this Igbo dude: Markfemi/Markfemi2, remove Delta from the first region you wrote up there.

Yoruba's are not land grabbers, the Deltans will decide how and what they want to be.

Under restructuring Nigeria should be rezoned into 6 regions

Yoruba speaking region of SW+ Kwara + Kogi +Delta

Niger delta minorities

Igbo speaking region of SE and Igbo in old SS

Arewa of 7 Fulani states

North east of 6 States

Central excluding Yorubas in Kwara /Kogi

MrHowto:
You're confused.. You said Arewa 7 Fulani state yet you put Jigawa state in northeast instead of Northwest (Jigawa is formerly part of Kano State).

Secondly there is nothing like Fulani States: Gombe and Adamawa inserted in different region from the Fulani are the real Fulani not people of Kano and Kaduna. So how come we have Fulani region without Adamawa (The mother Fulani state).

It is either you change it to Northwest Nigeria (Make sure you put Jigawa) or you renam
e it to Core Hausa Speaking State.

Dedetwo:
You can carve Niger-Area into 36 zones and region, it does not resolve the issue of colonial contraption. It will be total disintegration or equally transplantation of federal entities such as Lagos and Abuja, including all military academies in the northern and western regions into eastern and midwestern regions. Ndigbo are above this silly bandage approach in curing a symptom. It will be total eradication. The insinuated approach is idiotically insincere and does not even scratc
h the issue of the subject matter.

Markfemi2:
Im opened to correction and not insults

Markfemi2:
Define the federal entities in north and west that's not in south south and south east

No one gives a hoot about se
It doesn't contribute anything to national purse
