The latest buzzword among politicians from all sides in Nigeria is “restructuring”. The governing All Progressives Congress (APC) allegedly established a “restructuring committee” to articulate the party’s position on the issue. But does it make sense to restructure? What does the term really mean? What might a restructured Nigeria look like?

A radical approach would see the existing political arrangement replaced by regional economic and administrative units with minimal federal government interference, emulating the system Nigeria had at independence. A more realistic alternative is for greater powers to be devolved to Nigeria’s 36 states as a way of improving development, governance and economic performance.

Disintegration is better

Disintegration is better

I prefer restructuring
Even when you disintegrate, you will need to sign lots of bilateral agreements to share some resources and smaller countries would not be as influential as the bigger Nigeria

Restructuring is the stockholm hunger syndrome where Nigerians no longer have anything doing but roam the social media pontificating about a course they stand to gain nothing, while the politicians who are supposed to gain everything are at home sipping champagne with family, while smiling down on the jobless low lives, fighting their cause.

Well said!
