What do you mean Africa is Africa? Are we unique to failures? Do you know that indigenous Canadians do not make upto 10% of Canada, the rest are immigrants even if it means immigrating 10yrs ago. Bottom line is that the European colonised us for failures by joining different nationalities in a 'soup' of confusion while they partitioned themselves along ethnic nationalities. It's the overwhelming mix of nationalities that's impede Africa development. That's why we are saying that we should restructure to a loose federation so that different nationalities can pursue their aspirations in a common border!
This is a poverty mentality for u to say this really we as igbos have fallen.

A true igbo man before the fall can never say this and I believe this thinking has a lot to do with the civil war.

Me as an igbo man am hoping that Africa would decide it's destiny one day, we would be able to do away with colonial borders, I even sometimes muster the thought that Niger republic should join Nigeria

Not really, they are viable because they believe they have the human resources to succeed.
Agriculture can sustain any people who have lands as a basic while technology, manufacturing, mineral resources etc will make them richer. But agriculture is sufficient in itself! We cannot continue to depend on Niger Delta oil, before oil we were prospering
U and I know that SE can't bank on agriculture neither can we bank on mineral resources.

Maybe technology but the others I am not sure

You think because the Igbos are hardworking and can survive anywhere means if a Ferrari is tied to a 911 trailer, the Ferrari can speed up? Do you know what deadweight means? When tied to people who have different aspirations from yours? Do not be overconfident, UK recently left EU because they considered EU becoming deadweight to them especially as they've been bailing some EU states and the constant sharing of refugees from middle east

Many state will be generating more revenue than the paltry allocation of today. You make it seems like if not Nigeria, the Igboland would have been poor. I really don't understand you! Nigeria does not generate money, the money is gotten from lands of the states.

Some people just like to fight with their keyboard. Look for where your Rep is and order him to go to the National Assembly and pass bills to restructure Nigeria. What’s hard in that? Why do we just argue aimlessly? Use your Rep and Senator to make the change you want.

Elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, on Monday said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), lacks the constitutional powers to restructure Nigeria.

He advised proponents of restructuring to channel their energies towards ensuring their representatives in the State and National Assemblies perform their statutory functions by providing the necessary legislative structure required to restructure the country.

Yakasai who spoke in a telephone interview with our correspondent in Abuja said, “The President does not have the powers to restructure Nigeria.

“He can initiate a bill just like every other Nigerian and send the same to the National Assembly for necessary action.

“I will urge proponents of restructuring to send proposals to the national assembly and put pressure on their representatives to do the needful.

“We need to follow the necessary procedure to achieve desired goals. We are currently running a constitutional democracy which requires dialogue and consultation.

“Whatever the issues are, we can approach our legislators and ensure that our voices are heard.”

The Second Republic Presidential Liaison Officer noted that Nigeria and Nigerians will be the better for it if issues were debated and agreements reached.

The General Overseer, the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, and several other prominent Nigerians on Saturday called on the Federal Government led by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to urgently restructure the country to save it from breakup.

In an apparent response, the Presidency in a statement signed by Presidential Spokesman, Garba Shehu, said, “This is to warn that such unpatriotic outbursts are both unhelpful and unwarranted as this government will not succumb to threats and take any decision out of pressure at a time when the nation’s full attention is needed to deal with the security challenges facing it at a time of the Covid-19 health crisis.”

https://punchng.com/buhari-lacks-the-powers-to-restructure-nigeria-yakasai/

TANKO did not understand that the International community led by the United States or one of the world powers can intervene in Nigeria case to get all the party to either agree on restructuring or seek for outright Independence.

RESTRUCTURING OR OUTRIGHT INDEPENDENCE CAN NOT BE ENFORCED BY A NIGERIAN LEADERS ALONE.

The national assembly or the existing constitutional provision is not the only legal way to change Nigeria.

OUTSIDE FORCES CAN FORCE IT ON NIGERIANS.

IT WAS DONE IN KOSOVO

AND

SOUTH SUDAN

Heaven did not fall.

It is just a matter of time.

The International community is getting fed up with all this noise coming in from Nigeria.

Very soon the International community will be forced to entrenched a new order in Nigeria.

SADDAM IS HISTORY IN IRAQ

Benin republic and Togo is larger than the SE land mass and has access to sea yet it's as poor as poverty, togolese are one of the poorest in the world.

Sierra Leone and Liberia almost same size with SE with sea access they are very POORRRRR, govt of Liberia is always begging Nigeria for aid.

you guys are pathetic. Why can't Buhari send the bill for restructuring to the national assembly the way he has been sending loan requests to the same national assembly.
Since Buhari refuse to send the bill, what is the work of your representatives in the house? You can complain about Buhari not sending the bill but your representatives who primary objective is to represent and tell the NA what his people (in this case you) want is free. Must Buhari send every bill you like?

Because the poor ones are acting as deadweight to the strong ones. We are not even talking of leaving, we are talking of restructuring to what we have in the US, Canada, UK etc. Do you think all province in canada or USA are equally rich? How many US states are as rich as California and New York? Will they now merge everything together because of states created by military fiat? Most of these states in Nigeria are illegitimate created by illegitimate govts. There were no referendum to create these states, the motivation was to get more allocation from the centre whether they contributed to the allocation or not. Is this a viable reason to create state by military dictators? Any state that cannot survive should be merged! Restructuring should also involve redrawing of some state bothers to include their nationalities in other states

It's very hard to restructure through the national assembly! The North do not want restructuring and they have more lawmakers so by voting its already dead on arrival. Secondly, restructuring will affect the earnings of those fraudulent lawmakers so there is no motivation to do it. Think beyond the surface Mr man

You still dont understand restructuring, we are not saying restructure anything for a specific region. We are saying restructure the federation so that state control their resources.

The reason you are not seeing innovativeness to generate new sources of revenue is because there is a feeding bottle. Same way ND oil discovery killed groundnut pyramids in the North, cocoa in the SW, palm in the South and East, coal in Enugu ,timber etc. How much is a liter of groundnut oil and how much is a liter of petrol? The Netherlands that's not bigger than Oyo states generates $20 billion annually from agriculture alone, this is more than 50% of our annual budget
Also not that with cars not dependent on oil, demand will reduce drastically and supply will far outweigh demand driving price to less than $5/barrel
