Restructure Or Risk Breakup Of Nigeria, Adeboye Warns Buhari

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned of a possible collapse of Nigeria if the Muhammadu Buhari-led government looked on while the country plunged into various insurrections and criminalities.

Adeboye disclosed this on Saturday at an event to commemorate the 60th independence anniversary of Nigeria co-organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God and the Nehemiah Leadership Institute.

He said the restructuring of the country must be done “as soon as possible” to forestall a breakup of the various social-ethnic components that made up Nigeria.

He proposed the adoption of a merger of the British style of government and the American system of government to pave the way for Nigeria’s future.

He said, “Why can’t we have a system of government that is 100 per cent Nigerian, unique to us? For example, we started on with the British system of government, somewhere along the line, we moved over to the American system of government.

“Can’t we have a combination of both and see whether it could help us solve our problems because in Mathematics if you want to solve a problem, you try what we call Real Analysis, then if it doesn’t work, then you move on to Complex Analysis and see whether that will help you. If that fails, you move on to Vector Analysis and so on.

“I believe that we might want to look at the problems of Nigeria in a slightly different manner. Some people feel that all our problems will be over if Nigeria should break up. I think that is trying to solve the problems of Nigeria as if it is a simple equation. The problems of Nigeria will require quite a bit of simultaneous equation and some of them are not going to be linear either – forgive me I am talking as a Mathematician.

“Why can’t we have a system of government that will create what I will call the United States of Nigeria? Let me explain. We all know that we must restructure. It is either we restructure or we break, you don’t have to be a prophet to know that one. That is certain – restructure or we break up.

“If we have a President and a Prime Minister and we share responsibilities between these two so that one is not an appendage to the other. For examples, if the President controls the Army and the Prime Minister controls the Police. If the President controls resources likes oil and mining and the Prime Minister controls finance and inland revenue, taxes, customs etc. You just divide responsibilities between the two.

“At the state level, you have the governor and the premier, and the same way, you distribute responsibilities these people in such a manner that one cannot really go without the other. Maybe we might begin to tackle the problems.

“If we are going to adopt the model, then we need to urgently restore the House of Chiefs. I have a feeling that one of our major problems is that we have pushed the traditional rulers to the background and I believe that is a grave error.

“Without any doubt, we must restructure and do it as soon as possible. A United States of Nigeria is likely to survive than our present structure.”

Guestlander:
The current system can only lead Nigeria to balkanizatioon. It doesn't work for the majority of Nigerians.

Enudapan:
Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Flier:
I still think Pastors shouldn’t get involve in this argument

collum:
this present Nigeria challenges is beyond restructuring, the country should be shared into three or four parts. The average northerner believed Nigeria belong to them alone, an average southerner believe that resources used for the whole country comes alone from them, easterner believe they are sideline and punished, West believe they are comfortable.

NgwalandAbia:
Eastern region don't need all these noise because none of us voted for Mr Buhari, others can enjoy their change.

NeverBrokeAgainG:
This One is Still talking about Restructuring When We can Do Better as Separate Nations.

#BiafraExit.

Beside, Who is Watching The Azerbaijan Armies as They are Boldly Lunching Offensive and Retaking their Territories From The Armenian Soldiers??


I hope My Igbo Brethren Can Learn One or Two things from Them?

You don't loose or Leave your territory For your Enemies or loose it because the people in it want to beLeft alone

writeprof:
This is while restructuring into independent federating units with every unit operating like it was between 1960-1966, having control to their resources etc and Abuja/Aso Rock having ceremonial powers is the better.

None?

Divide Nigeria will not solve anything. It's not all the niger delta that have oil neither all the south west have coacoa also. There are only two solutions to our problems.
1. Everybody agrees to change and work for better Nigeria.
2. Angels come down from heaven to govern us.
