Who told you the Igbos want restructuring?
Who destroyed the regional system in the first place if I may ask you.

Let me educate you incase you don't know. Nnamdi Azikiwe knew from the onset that his SE region is the poorest in the entire South and second pooerest in the entire country, reason why he and his kinsmen worked tirelessly to see regional system destroyed so they can control all the resources at the centre. The Hausa/Fulani saw this long ago and killed their agenda off completely, took over control which they are enjoying till date.

South West has been docile for too long and it as it stands now, we call for restructuring. We don't want any alliance or draw back from any shi.tty region. STRICTLY RESTRUCTURING!!

flokii:
There is nothing like Southern unity.. what we want is restructuring.

We don't want any attache by force unity with parasites and poverty capital of the South. Make everybody dey their lane, we no want 'akosibero' dem in our midst.

Professor Yemi Osinbajo


President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 29th of May 2023.

Racoon:
Unfortunately the president does not listens because he is deaf or dead to the impending doom his govt is driving the nation to with his govt obstinacy to good advice & national disenchantment.

States were created to weaken regions and u are advocating for states. You and I know that its so obvious that it wont work

Coldie:
All these can be done as individual states

wink2015:
Let the present 36 states exist instead of merging them to regions as a lot of confusion will be resulting from this union.

Let each states manage its own resources and pay taxes to the federal government no matter what they generate.

If Zamfara state want to survive on selling chewing stick they should go ahead.

While states seems like a good idea, regions is better. Many states are barely getting by, and removing the little revenues they get from oil money will simply make them collapse. Furthermore, not all states have the natural resources needed to survive. However, with the 6 regions as federating units, every region will have the necessary resources to survive. Of course though, the best regions will be the ones that are able to utilize the human brain- the most important resource of them all

Coldie:
We can't use that. 6 geopolitical zones can't work every state is free to form mutual alliance with any state from any zone for their mutual economic prosperity. Just as Lagos did by partnering with kebbi on rice farming.

Merging states into regions will lead to more tribalism

Coldie:
Am happy u understand my point. Nigeria presently is not ready for restructuring.

How many states in Nigeria can function without federal allocations.

Imagine with federal allocations they owe salaries for months do u know what will happen to those states when the federal allocations stop coming?

macjireh:
I beg to differ...if d restructuring is properly done,there won't be marginalization... wat I will posit is that d representation at d federal level should be collapsed into d regional structure.. dat time a Governor will be like d President,,while d governor office now will be d office of d deputies,,so one one regional Governor will have several deputies from each state,,and there would house of rep and house of Assembly structure in each region to create more representation... at d federal level there would be just one legislative chamber(d senate),,,so how would there be marginalization? dat system will just too fluid

yemmit90:
Anything less than this is not acceptable.

Western region withiout Lagos doesn't make a single sense.

While no bandit or herdsmen has ever been dealt with by SARS and ARMY?

Kai.. Imagine a country with only IGBOS AND YORUBA.... Smh

Naija would have become a force to contend with...

Fact...

Ulysses71:
No qualms with what u wrote up there except you stating that america is a generic race.
while i do not know the whole history of america i know some states in america were not originally american.
california and texas(and florida too, i believe) were mexican b4 america did its thing. likewise hawaii, tho it was a seperate island b4 america, you know.

DexterousOne:
We actually do....

There is no way Nigeria will disintegrate without each region carrying it's own share of the debt
