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.

Interesting, I guess I really have to do some research, all these debate just dey make me feel dull aswear

Why is the Southwest suddenly gone mute on regionalisms and Tru federalism..

Now if you shout restructuring..na Dem go first fight you..abuse you..with heavy insults before the north will come down with pythons and Crocs..

Maybe after 2019.. when the dullard don retire..
They will resume..

For now..all this na stories..

Shout restructuring and be an enemy of the state.
We are busy using the opportunity to build our region. By the time when day break, restructuring will come in full force from the SW.

To restructure an organization or system means to change the way it is organized, usually in order to make it work more effectively.

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

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.
This is why Nigeria should go back to regionalism or we split the country.

Nigerians (zombies especially) trust Buhari more than they trust their Institutions (Police, FSARS, EFCC, Educational System, Healthcare, LGA administration and other systems embedded in restructuring etc).
That's problem no. 1!

His followers see him as a demi-god, and the praises have so much gotten to him now that he sees himself as the figure to look up to. Hence, he's not ready to strengthen, right the wrongs or provide a lasting solution to the problems across our institutions.

These followers forget quickly that Buhari won't be there forever. Buhari will go (after 4 or 8 years) but the institutions (problems) will persists. After shouting Sai Baba for 4-8 years, the reality you guys failed to address for 4-8 years will come hit you right on the face again.

Restructuring isn't just a word, it is an act, a way of raising conglomerates out of nothing; an act of building commitment and real governance out of systemic apathy. No, your perpetually lazy governors shouldn't be sitting like f00ls in Abuja. They have no business in Abuja, not when there are hundreds of thousand of investors around the globe searching for fertile grounds to plant their resources.

Shebi Buhari is the great magician that wants to solve our problems? grin no wahala, we will all look up to him for 8 years! grin

It was the counter narrative pursued against Nnamdi Kanu's referendum argument which, admittedly, was quite strong and gained traction across Nigeria due to its legality as enshrined in the UN Charter and obviously Nigeria's terrible situation.

He was taken out and "restructuring", like a house built on sand crumbled as it was just a counter narrative- not something the proponents were actually serious about.

Good Student of Nigeria Politics.

Nnamdi Kanu was the biggest problem of the Northern Cabal that have laid siege on the country since 1960. Because he exposed the deepest secret of the tactics being deplored by these cabal.

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.
But then the people would easily know whom to hold accountable.

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!!

The problem with some of northerners is they are extremely lazy, they see Agriculture beneath them,

for example I farm, I do poultry( stopped temporarily due to NYSC, will resume by next month), some of my friends laugh at me, I earned alot monthly while they run around submitting CVs.


But once there is no job everybody will run back to farming


I don't like d current system of government( free oyel money).
let's do regionalism, I assure you every part of the country will work harder to compete, thereby bringing accelerated development

Inna restructure whereby each state with carte for itself, Funds shared by FG won't be stopped immediately. It will be gradually reduced for many years while each state develops new sources of income thorough exploration, mining, agriculture, Etc. It could take 3 - 5 years or more for each region to stand on its own n then stop collecting allocation from FG.

am talking of immediate calamity, and feasibility of a project like restructuring, you're talking about solid mineral deposit that its value, quantity and market for it hasn't been established. do you know the British had to give concession for northern Nigeria to royal trading company because it was an unsuccessful colony, even after that they had to merge north with south for its survival. truth be told without sugarcoating it as it stands today, many can't survive without oil

I agree with you that as it stands today, many wouldn't survive without oil BUT the issue of making Nigeria a successful nation is one where you either fight it head on or go home. If we continue this way, it can not end well now that there's possibility of our oil running dry.

Restructure now!
