The question to ask is why should there be a reason for restructuring when it was dead brain Igbo Aguiyi Ironsi that destroyed CONFEREDERALISM ?!

What is lacking in confederalism that is in restructuring ? OP tell us 2 of such things ? And lastly do you think it is justified that a tribe that truncated conferederalism n supported a party that did not deem restructuring fit for 16 year should be the one making noise for it now ?

How you genuinely answer this questions will attest to whether your intention is holistic or you are just being foolish like other PDP fools on NL.

Fools will argue this should be apolitical discussbut to have genuine solutions all views including political should be considered.

Every time the word 'restructuring' is mentioned, a typical northerner groans with disdain, they don't even want to hear it, it's like an earthquake to them. If u calm them down n ask them d reason they hates to hear d word, u'll notice they dont understand what restructuring means.

Their leaders aren't excluded too, a debate about restructuring was conducted on channels tv last week and the northern guy said they don't like to hear it in d north cos it's like secession to them.

A senator from Zamfara opposed state police cos he said it's a strategy to restructure d country.

Why does the word 'restructuring' sounds alien to them, can't they see that this system isn't working?

theenchanter:
I tire, bros..... No tangible reasons for being against restructuring.

I guess their lowly developed people will be a burden to them if they don't receive federal allocation.

What exactly is their problem?

Anansek can shed more light on this

Restructuring is not enough. What we need is separate countries.

It wasn't con federalism per se. It was a system similar to the present constitution of Canada and Australia. This is the best constitution for a country like Nigeria and it is on record that Nigeria was moving ahead economically before the system was truncated.
Politically, the country was too young to experience the type of violence and distrust brought about by the first coup.
The constitution we have today was not agreed to by Nigerians, it was fostered on us by the military and this is the source of our problems.

Majority of your people disagree with you. You are alone

And your people are helping them by begging to stay in the North.

Their opposition is largely borne out of ignorance and the fears of the unknown.

Many Northern States have great potentials to be exploited in a restructured Nigeria.

divinehand2003:
They will be extremely poverty striken if it happens in Nigeria.

Very wrong assumptions.

The Government rely heavily von the sales of crude oil but NOT majority of the citizens.
Even with maximal oil sales, majority of the people in Taraba, Jigawa, Kebbi or Zamfara don't benefit much.
Only educated elites seriously benefit from Government in the North

divinehand2003:
Back in the 1960s to 1980, I know that they relied heavily on agriculture as the main source of revenue. Times have changed. Yes the landmass is still there in the north, but nobody does largescale farming anymore. We consume mostly imported food nowadays. We now rely heavily on crude oil as our main source of GDP. IF RESTRUCTURING is permitted now, the north will suffer.

Illitracy is a big disease. Going our separate ways doesn't mean we won't accommodate the street beggars who live or may want to come to our region.

oooduancalmdown:
Atiku support restructuring? Pease don't tell me you are this naive. Do you know Atiku has oil blocs? Do you think he will be willing to give them back? Why has nqot supported restructuring before last year? Don't you think there is a motive behind this? Besides, restructuring is ambiguous. It has different meaning to different people.

Where did u learn that restructuring means Atiku n others relinquishing oil blocks in d south??

One rudimentary ethics of business is that within boundaries of market forces, anyone can own any business or resources in any free economy.

Is Dangote not acquiring raw materials dependent companies in other african countries ( thereby owning & harnessing those natural resources). He's even acquiring shell gas company in Netherlands. If u don't sell oil blocks to Dangote, Atiku, Danjuma, Elumelu, Arthur Eze, Alakija, Awosika, Adenuga, lulu brigs, Folawiyo, Dantata, wale tinubu etc, who will u sell to
Tampolo, Ateke, Asari, Ubah, shell, total, Chevron

It's better given to Nigerians then with a better willed govt n sound regulations to control things.

I may not fully like n accept Atiku, but he's a billionaire in any currency of this world and can bid n compete in any business he so desires.

Its senseless to assume that the person that promised something to u is lying without giving him any benefit of doubt. Meanwhile believing in n giving full benefits
of doubt to another thats already denying his promises, isnt even in charge enough to deliver and doesn't even know how to fulfill the remaining promises.

No. We want them back and we shall send your building material and spareparts people packing. Has to be total separation. You will need a visa to come to kano.

Lol

Why is the SW scared of restructuring?

They are afraid of losing the advantages they now enjoy with the lopsided of the present political structure and unverified bogus population.

Whether we like or not this system will surely collapse soonest. A mono economy country where there is no roadmap for industrialization with ever increasing population is on her way to perdition. The few industries we have here are being managed by foreigners where locals are treated as cooperate slaves in their country. Presently we are deceiving ourselves with this system, even it will be very difficult for angel as a president to succeed governed this country.
Give Yobe State to China to manage just for years and you will see different state.
