It didn’t start today. Politicians and the media have been using terminologies to mislead whole peoples into making historic mistakes that are suffered by many generations afterwards. Some days ago, the erudite politician and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was a Guest/Keynote Speaker at the 2017 Annual Dinner of the King’s College Old Boys Association (KCOBA), held at King’s College Lagos. The address he was reported to have delivered expectedly dwelt on very key issues regarding our country Nigeria. You can acquaint yourself with the speech here:

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/09/breaking-must-guard-separating-nigeria-small-pieces-tinubu-warns/

In many ways, the speech was a huge eye-opener to me. Suddenly, it was as if scales fell off my eyes and, for the first time, I really came to understand how faulty are many age-long concepts popular politicians and media moguls have been recommending such as Sovereign National Conference and True Fiscal federalism. I realized how very flimsy are the supporting reasons for such recommendation. Yet, they are being pushed down our collective throats with highly skilled verbal embellishment. This led me to make a very spontaneous response to the paper which you can find here:

https://www.nairaland.com/4081404/sir-almost-said-truth-open

In that inspired response, I revealed clearly how lame are some of those concepts that have become household in our media and political discourses.

My eyes have particularly been opened to the fact that the much touted restructuring will only be another exercise in futility all because we are not thinking it through. The reason it will be another waste of national resource is that we have not identified our root problem correctly.

As I pointed out clearly in my response (cited above), the root problem with Nigeria is not with structure as many – including very famous people – seem to think. So, ‘restructuring cannot help us much.

The root problem with Nigeria is to be located at a deeper level, the sub-structure, the very foundation of the edifice. So, the so-called ‘restructuring’ will be like mending walls, re-roofing and repainting a faulty building when its real fault is with the foundation. I have explained this more broadly in the above response cited above.

To prove that structure is not the root source of our problem, I refer to history. We already had true fiscal federalism and resource control enshrined in the 1963 Constitution. But what did we get from that? Only three years after the Constitution was ratified, we had the 1966 civil and military uprisings that eventually snowballed into the regrettable Civil War.

So, let’s think more. The solution I proffer is in the response cited above. I cannot repeat it here to avoid making this post longer than intended. So, if you care to know, you can take advantage of the link.

All in all, I am calling on everyone. Let’s stop going through endless vicious circles while experimenting with the destinies of our children yet unborn. Let's leave off politics, ethnicity and godless religious inclination. The destiny of our children is at issue here.

Every one is shouting of 1963 first republic, but is the success of the first republic is our politician success or British administrative legacy?

Aguiyi ironsi ruined this country irreparably.

OP, your submission is offensive.
You forgot to understand the importance of era and time. The failure of 1963 constitution was lack of patience by Nigeria and political naivety. The 1963 model of restructuring will end major problems Nigerians are experiencing. We need to go back to regional administration with more power to the regions or give more power to the states as it is today. Nigerians are better experienced today than they were in 1963. We need regional administrations.

And another trash comes falling down.

Op you need help ,you're not addressing some bunch of touts and uneducated folks in your village.

It is understandable that in a discussion, some will agree and others will disagree to certain points. And when I came up against a view most of you have come to accept, I expected more disagreements than I have seen. But, since this is a serious matter, I expected you people to take time and consider my point first, both here and on the page cited, before you respond. So far, it's like people are responding without giving due consideration to my points.

For instance, EmeeNaka, you seem to think I support that we continue the way we are. And you seem to also think that the only possible options we have are either the status quo or regional governments. Why not give room for something possibly better? I think I have that in the link I posted where I responded to Asiwaju's keynote speech.

As for you Truckpusher, when you just cast aspersions on people's view without giving your own view, you give yourself away as unthinking. I expect us here to put on our thinking caps and reason these things so that we can avoid historical pitfalls ahead. Thank you people. In case you don't know, we influence public opinions and policy making here on Nairaland.

I have always said no matter the system of government if Nigerians don't hold their leaders accountable nothing would change

The main issue is this the revenue is less than 10% what we need to develop and no matter what we can't develope like this

For me the solution to our problem is simple '' tax '' that's the magic word ,

It would give government the needed revenue and give the people the reason they need to check mate them

If you pay 45% of your total earning in tax , pay vat of 15% to 25% on every thing you buy no one would tell you to come out and vote , no one would be able to bribe you to vote for them because you know it's your hard earned money they want to steal

With this minimum wage can be increased to 100k ,universities should be privatized and multinational should be made to pay some % of their incomes as scholarship which you would be qualified for if you meet a certern grade
So if you are poor and want to go to school you must be very intelligent to meet those scholarship createrias , lecturers can't treat students anyhow because they pay their salaries

Car owners should be taxed 100k to 3 million per year depending on the grade of the car for road maintaince , you can't pay this and government won't fix your roads and expect your support

Tax gives the population power and the government the right revenue to please them

Your submission is a good one but that does not nullify the need for restructuring.
The truth is, there are issues that restructuring will solve that Tax payment and infrastructural development will not resolve. In fact, governors of states can never have the will to tax the people since they can always get the usual Abuja monthly allocation.
The foundation of Nigeria greatness should be laid First and every other things follows.

Who said they won't ? They are just scared

This is one of, if not the most brilliant and intelligent post that I have ever come across on this forum. These days it's rare to come across critical thinkers like the OP. I went through your points in response to Tinubu's article and my question to you is, if this marriage is to be dissolved, what do you think would be the best possible way to achieve this without further waste of human lives. In my opinion,it will never be bloodless as the man(both external and internal interests) in this union will never let go easily.
There lies the greatest tragedy of this Union.

This is no time for academic submissions and constitutional reviews. The train has left the platform buddy....


We are back to native sense and self-preservation. If prwvious discussions and templates for better Nigeria has failed its because we had approached it in past with academic pontification and Eurocentric models.

No more academic, back to Afrocentric and Ethnocentric strategies for growth, survival and excellence.

We need intellect peppered with plenty wisdom.

We need knowledge powered with lot of enlightenement

We need courage driven with spirit.

Bro, you have still come back full circle to the point you raised in your article, what will guarantee that the results of the referendum will be respected as it is clear that this is a country where agreements are hardly respected. IMO, we have four classes of people in Nigeria, (forget all the sham of different political names which are just mere vehicles to achieve their selfish interests) the military class,the billionaire class, the political class and the people's class, the group who call the shots are the first 3 classes,with the military class being the most powerful. If any restructure or rearrangement is to be successful, you will require the buy-in of at least two out of the 3 ruling classes, anything apart from this will encounter resistance which will result in predictable bloodshed.

A pack thrash!

Firstly, do you understand what restructuring means?

Secondly, do you know that restructuring is relative and it depends on your narratives?

We all see Lagos and how well is becoming autonomous, of what purpose is so much resources going to the centre and the only thing they've successful uphold over the years is just to pay salary.

We have tried to see if the centre can get better, and all we came up with is mediocrity, underdevelopment, ethnic jingoism and chronic Favouritism.

The west was a regions when it achieved so much that is being managed up till today. While south west was moving ahead, other regions were copying the examples and trying their hands on demonstrated concepts of governance.

You can't dig oil In Bayelsa and go and dump the resources in Zamfara. What kind of nation grows like that?

Let the lazy ones wallow in poverty but let the progressive and productive grow. Don't put the burden of the unwilling on the willing and don't stampede the Blessed because of the lazy.

is it fair for a state to get loan from banks, build power plants, at the end the power he produces is transmitted first to the national grid n later small fraction is being transmitted back to the state. The state will still be left with the burden of settling the loans plus accumulated interest.
I generate money thru taxing my people for consu,ing excess liquor, another man kills them and ban them for the same purpose, but at the end he will also share from the funds i generated from those liquor consumers.
The problem is that u people just went to school, u r not educated.

You may have stumbled onto the truth. There is no restructure until Lagos and Abuja are built in the defunct Eastern Region and Midwestern Region of Nigeria respectively. If Nigeria cannot perform this simple function, it is as good as disintegrated. I repeat the disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria will allow each emerging nation state to built its administrative capital and business hub without heavy burden of tribal strangulation as ever presence in Nigeria.
