I'm just surprised, because we are supposed to put pressure on our leaders to adopt restructuring as the only solution in this country, because whatever they are doing right now won't work I tell you. It's like running round the same circle, Give States Back Their Power

The North are not interested in restructuring, only the South are interested in it

MIKOLOWISKA:
we survived without oil
We will survive without it
Less than 3 million survive on oil out of 200 million

I beg to disagree with the 3million surviving on oil, because as at today the major Forex earner for Nigeria is Oil, and without Dollar we can't buy, drugs, cars, electronics, machinery, industrial raw materials in fact we can't by buy anything. Again we survived without oil because almost 80% of Nigerians then were producers of something (mostly cash crops) and we have multiple streams of forex. nigerians of today are almost 70% consumers rather than producers hence our total reliance on oil forex to buy everything from China and Europe. Then again if you are to be honest and look around from our electricity generation to our rural roads, its oil money.

And I can tell you that the present system we are practicing is the major corruption that we should talk about first. Let me give u one example. In the oldest day in Southwest, if you steal and people catch you, forget all both your family and unborn generation are thieves but now just because of the system we are practicing if you steal billions from Abuja believe me people will welcome you with sing and drum. And Bode George is living example.

Truth is, even if you restructure the country, with useless leaders at the helm of affairs, there won't be any development, take a look at Bayelsa, even with her huge allocation, nothing to show for it, their leaders keep looting their common wealth.

Corruption is the root cause of our problems, We have no working refineries today because the power that be won't let anything function reason being that they rake in millions from fuel importation and Subsidy.

We flare enough gas in Nigeria to power 4 gas turbines, thereby solving our power problems, but every administration seems clueless about the issue on ground, worst is the billions being budgeted for this same issue every year, nobody is sincere, they just want to loot till we have nothing.

I can go on and on, if you look at most of our major problems, it all boils down to one major thing, corruption, if you restructure the country without looking at how to curb corruption, then there won't be any difference, just that some leaders and governors will have more to loot.

Simply put, the leaders of this country are evil, the people are worst, we aid criminals.

Efewestern:


I quite disagree with the report on south East, Anambra and Aba are economically viable, unless there is another definition of "economically viable", truth is, restructuring won't solve 100% of our problems, our major undoing as a country is corruption, too many clueless leaders at the helm of power, how do you expect such nation to grow?

Is corruption unique to nigeria? When will you people learn? Go to Brazil and see corruption. Abeg swerve, Only a fool does the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result each time.

but if we restructure believe me the corruption is not be the affair of Regional not National. My brother we can't be continuing like this Nigeria need another system not this present one.

Okoroawusa:

stop talking trash. Oil was a later discovery. The British survived on the resources from the North for decades. They simply added the South in 1914 so as to have access to the sea for exportation.


Read history you no go read.Na the one Nnamdi Kanu tell u,u go believe.
FYI,am Igbo.

This one don come again afonja miscreant claiming igbo

I am a Yoruba man and an omoluabi, and never will I listen to such personality like KANU, whose tactics is mainly spiteful. if you've truly read about Nigeria and its 45 years conquest by British, and subsequent years to pre independence you would know what am talking about. the main export commodity from Nigeria was Coal, other commodity like groundnut, kola and cocoa was by the way. and as a matter of fact the first set of railtracks and other infrastructure was as a result of Coal mining

You expect a Hausa Fulani man like okoroawusa to understand that Coal was the major export and the reason why Nigerian first railway line was laid.

Can you compare the level of corruption in both countries?, it's like you have no idea of what's going on in Nigeria, no society can function with the level of corruption in Nigeria.

Almost Every where you go in Nigeria, all you see is uncompleted projects, in most cases they have made budget for that project for like two times, they just do little and loot the remaining cash, Lagos State started their Bullet train project some years back along some African countries, most of these countries have completed theirs but Lagos is still at the initial stage.

Restructure the country anyhow you like, with the crop of politicians we have now, I don't think we'll be able to achieve any meaningful thing.

I quite agree that the nation needs to restructure, atleast we need to stop this feeding bottle system, but that alone won't solve everything. that's my point.

we were taught to be corrupt to survive....

corruption in nigeria is more deeper than you think....

dometome:
because Nnamdi Kanu is no longer around

Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB were the biggest reason why there was any talk about restructuring. At the height of the IPOB agitation, the Northerners were begining to agree that Nigeria should be restructured.

What a lot of clueless Southerners who supported operation Python dance and the prosciption of IPOB don't know is that they were celebrating the death of restructuring

MIKOLOWISKA:
then why don't southern ministers of solid minerals exploit it and show them let's see if they will control both solid and petrol without the country falling apart

The level of corruption in Brazil dwarfs that of Nigeria.

Because election is fast approaching.
This will make you believe that non- of these truly love Nigeria.

5 CANDIDIATES -

IN ALL CATEGORIES .. WILL STILL BE NORTHERN CANDIDATES.

ITS STILL A NORTHERN AGENDA!

No state without mineral resources, your assertion is based on oil revenue alone.uote author=iammo post=70617771]the reasons the elites would not try talk about it is because of resource control, every other issue like state police is possible. in southwest ; only Lagos and Ogun is economically viable, in south south; only Edo, Delta and Rivers, in North Central Only kwara, Non in North west,North East and South East. according to Economic development Magzine.
this simply means the day you stop giving out federal allocation from crude oil says to these states, the system automatically collapse, teachers won't get paid and public schools would close down, similarly doctors, judicial staffs, prison workers, and all state and local government staffs. the royal fathers and kings also survive on the share of the local government allocation from abuja. without allocation how will osun and ekiti pay its external debt, not to talk of paying salary or maintaining infrastructure. I wonder were some region would get forex from to take to China, if the major forex earner is oil, Venezuela's case would be better than some region, while some region would instantly become new Dubai of africa[/quote]

Re phrase your question to why is APC no longer talks about restructuring again Because the people are still talking about restructuring.

We all should be clamoring for regionalism!! That is the only solution, more power to regions and a weak center! I used to think the North would be the poorest but I have come to realize that they are actually one of the richest regions if utilized. With their resources and Agriculture, they would be very rich! Regionalism or nothing!!

You probably aren't listening.

Atiku I recall, spoke about restructuring in a recent speech.

It is Bola Tinubu who has shamelessly recoiled, ignoring all developmental efforts or campaign's, simply to await ticket come 2013.

Shaaame!

saraki and 2019

Because is part of politicking even Buhari says,he will restructure Nigeria if given second chance.Is that not suspicious?

I really want to know more about Nigeria before the amalgamation as I mostly state mute when it comes to topics like this as I don't have much knowledge on it. Any book recommendation will be appreciated. Thanks

we don't need cars or drugs electronics to survive
Machinery is almost non existent and we are chugging along somehow
Don't mistake we the few lucky elite in the cities
With the rural and poverty stricken majority
Only civil servants live off oil
95% of us survive on our own
Without oil we will get serious and go back to Te cash crops that we were using before
Oil did not add to our electricity
Twas built with cocoa groundnut and palm oil money

bosco2017:
because Nnandi kanu has been silenced

He’s been killed my the soldiers. It was a black Op

I remember when people both online and offline used to say “ oh why don’t Nnamdi Kanu go for restructuring”

They were screaming restructuring every time IPOB issue came up.

The moment IPOB members were killed and their leader either killed or kidnaped, those characters didn’t talk about restructuring anymore.

This is Nigeria.

What he wrote is pure lies. Someone once posted the major exports of Nigeria during colonization and the North exported the least substance. There's never been a day in Nigeria history have Nigeria depended on North for it's wealth. The reason Northern Nigeria was merged with Southern Nigeria was because the North couldn't substain itself.

ayokellany:


The reason if u care to know the truth is because the most irrelevant tribe in Nigeria is the one craving for it. When either of the two important one with balls speak up, it will come to pass.

it is good u noted dat yoruba dont really want restructuring....so tomorrow u wont be telling us another lie of hw u guys have championed restructuring since 1914

The reason restructuring was gaining ground and came into discussion by Afonjas was because of Nnamdi Kani and Ipob. If the Yoruba elites were serious about it, they wouldn't have gone mute the second Nnamdi was abducted. It says alot about the worthlessness or that thing una call a country. I truly pity you people that still lives in that place.
