DamnNiggar:


Nigeria may break away soon oo

The greatest fear of the Yorubas and Hausas

remove yoruba from this post

respect.. one of the discos serving the area should call him and give him a job

HigherEd:
Lol I hope you guys would realize the truth before it becomes late.

The current system where universities fully depend on payouts from the government is unsustainable and would never make the universities competitive or valuable enough to industry. Especially in a country with a surging population yet depleting economy.

As part of comprehensive reform of the Nigerian state. The emphasis on higher education needs to be lowered. Not everyone should need to go to university to amount to anything meaningful in life. People who must go there by virtue of stellar academic records should be offered scholarships.

Why would the ministry of education train with subsidy 2000 zoology students across the nation and only 1% of them end up as zoologist or researchers in Zoology. While the rest end up in banks, telcos, and everyother place where a zoology degree is never ended. How many subsidized degrees yield return on Investment for the Nigerian state. E.. g Inter rel, Physiology, Anatomy, Biochemistry etc? Tbh only strategically important degrees ought to be free in Nigerian schools. E.g Medicine, Nursing, Civil engineering.

Lets focus on our economy and generate enough value for each Nigerian to be self sufficient enough to fund their own education and stop funding unsustainable projects like ASUU.

100% agree. Primary and Secondary school especially should be paid attention to.... I would recommend funding for unity schools to make them the "crown jewel" of the schooling system. Plus, what happened to scholarships from cultural organizations and whatnot? Need to bring those back as well

Uyi168:
I dont even understand the kind of American English DAVIDO is trying to form..

Real niggarrrrr- ism, maybe oga slawomir can help the brudda out

You can't save people who aren't ready... Harriet Tubman once said that she could've freed thousands of more slaves if only they knew they were in bondage. It seems as if those up North aren't aware of the terrible conditions they're in. Furthermore, when others try to tell them, they take it as an attack on them, when it really should be interpreted as a wake up call. Once they stop seeing things from the view of religion and ethnicity only, then they'll be ready

riroye3263:
abokis and their puppets in the south dont want restructuring. Why dont you want nigeria to split jejeli

splitting, although good in the short term, will likely end up being more harmful than beneficial. How will the countries that emerge from Nigeria survive? Especially when there are other countries who produce what the prospective countries would fall back on, and minerals that some countries have can be located elsewhere. Furthermore, the chaos that would likely ensue in the NE and NW would mean that refugees would be coming in bulk to the MB, SW, SE, and ND. Do any of these countries have the means to take care of what would likely be a massive influx of migrants? And how would we be able to differentiate real migrants to terrorists? So, a lot of questions to answer regarding forming new countries, which would take years, if not centuries, to solve. That's why the next best thing is to restructure to regional govt, which will bring governance closer to the people

This is why we need restructuring... just merge the state into the 6 regions and use that as the federating units... but una no go hear word

karfe:
The political groups are 2 in the North and not 3

No. The geopolitical zones in the North are NW, NE, and NC/MB. Just like the 3 regions in the South are SW, SE, and SS/ND. Giving the North 2 regions while dividing the south into 3 will only bring back one of the main points of restructuring, which is correct political imbalances across the country

karfe:
5 regions, not 6

Why 5?

Moferere:
Regional system will be the best.
We will cut down overhead costs drastically.

Exactly. And the best thing is no region is lacking in terms of human and natural resources. The 3 northern regions are blessed with land and mineral resources, while the 3 southern regions are blessed with industries all across. Put these together, along with the general ambitiousness of the average Nigerian, and I see greatness. Just hope that our leaders, especially those from the North, can put ambitions and politics aside and hear us out

Moferere:
If we go by this, we will not have more than 12 subnationals (states) across Nigeria.

12 is too much sef. Just have 6 regions(geopolitical zones) plus the FCT, along with both of our recommendations, and see if Nigeria will not start competing with the likes of China, SA, and Brazil with 15- 20 years

Moferere:
I align myself with your position my brother.
But I think it is too late to 'scrap non-performing states'.

That may be true, but I hope that COVID-19 and well as its impact on the economy will get people thinking. For instance, within the SW region, there is really no point for 6 states, when only 2( Lagos and Ogun) are doing well, 1(Oyo) is alright, and the rest( Osun, Ondo, and Ekiti) are subpar. Another thing that I really don't like about the state structure is that most development seems to be centered in the capital cities, while other areas are left to rot. Why not just have 1 capital(Ibadan), 1 strong commercial center(Lagos), and have the remaining cities become industrial centers. The same thing applies to other regions, like the SE. There, you can have Enugu as your political capital, Onitsha as the main commercial center, and other cities as strong industrial centers.

LEKKITOLLGATE:
. Small small our oyel from the south south go begin dey useless with all these modern innovation.....

Lol oil can never be completely useless tho, and the SS/ Niger Delta region is still rich in gas deposits, which would be a potential source of energy for the car

IMAliyu:
So.. what form of restructuring do you think is the best?

6 regional structure, with the current geopolitical zones adopted as the federating units. The FCT will be controlled by the FG. Regional gov't will be headed by an elected governor. In order to win, his party must have the most seats in the Regional House of Assembly, which will take the current state HOA's and merge them. The presidency would be rotated between the six regions, and in order for an individual to be elected President, his party would have to win 244 out of 366 in the newly designed House of Representatives. Seats in the HOR would be evenly spread amongst the 6 regions(60 each), while the FCT would have six. So, the prospective candidate would have to win 40 out of 60 seats from each region, plus 4 out of 6 in the FCT. There would be full resource control, and each region would send back 30% to the center. Furthermore, each region would have its own constitution and its own regional police force. I believe this is the best way to restructure, although I would like to hear from anyone else

Why can't we even try to make... abeg who curse black man like this nau

Ipob sympathizers will always lose, Empty Barrels will always make the loudest noise.

E say I be IPOB It's common knowledge no country survives civil conflict twice... if you need proof, Liberia and DRC are nearby

Davash222:
Buhari's utmost concern as a President is to ensure his cows are well taken care of. Nothing concern Buhari and Education... Exactly why I keep blaming Osinbajo. As a Professor, our VP should know the value of Education.

He can't just be sitting there and watch a Nepa bill holder frustrate these students. Sambo wasn't this calm to GEJ, why is our current VP this naive to a herder

Cuz he's trapped... these northerners can be wicked gan gan

ggood:
please which side will win

Is that one a question

SmartPolician:
Not only oil

They need access to the sea

Without one Nigeria, the north is landlocked

Those people can never give up on one Nigeria without a deadly war

Then they better prepare for restructuring... if by any chance war should break out, you and I both know which side would win, and which side will lose

PDP don enter one chance like that..... Anti- North sentiment is pretty big right now in the South, so pulling out a Northerner will definitely do more harm than good. At the same time though, we all know that Igbos aren't liked in the North, so convincing the electorate to vote an Igbo will definitely be difficult.... 2023 go sweet die

Aconomist:
Exactly. The Yoruba are failing Nigeria. They are spineless.

I be confam Yoruba boi, but sadly what the two of you said is true. For some reason, we Yorubas have this "I can't come and kill myself" lifestyle that is now affecting everyone in the country. Funny enough, if the injustices being meted out had been happening to the Yorubas, I can tell you that Oodua Republic would've been a reality by now

octembu:
Religious laws should never become state laws. For government to task themselves with enforcing religious laws, it means they don't know what they are doing.

They're creating something that if care is not taken, will swallow the entire region violently. When my dad tells me about the North of the 70s and 80s, I wonder what exactly went wrong. Well, as they make their bed, so shall they lie on it

Ultra Level

Lets make ourselves attractive to investors first

Liposure:
Why can't we tolerate one another in this country. Must we fight each other over ethnic differences, religious differences etc when we are suppose to live as one irrespective of the various barriers. Just look at the damage done by some unscrupulous elements in the name of riot or whatever point they are trying to prove. Sincerely speaking, we have a long way to go

If we are still move as one country, restructuring is the way to go.

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggarrrr
Why all this ?
For him to support the realization of biafra or what

Common......biafra is a dream and goal that can never be realized and actualized
Imagine giving that dumb fuckkk pussy a parade
You all can insult me but am a real niggarrr and ain't scared of shit

Biafra can never come...dead

Why?

xcellentgraphic:
Start using ur head bro....No APC or PDP in 2023

Bro inasmuch as the two parties have performed terribly, one of those two will still win in 2023. Take it from me, I rooted for Sowore in the 2019 election and thought he would win in a landslide. Unfortunately, I was wrong. APC and PDP are the parties with the strongest structures and most popular across the country, so the best thing would be to infiltrate them from the roots and gradually ascend up from there.

PAWG:
Man! I catch your drift, but I put it to you: If the numbers we saw during the ENDSARS protest support an unpopular party’s youthful candidate, we can get the presidency as early as 2023.

Well, one important thing is that hopefully youths take a better interest in government. But I still the best way for increased youth in government is to enter those two parties in heavy numbers.

PAWG:
Una don start, what happened to having new, younger faces? Las las na PDP and APC una go still support

You have to be real bro. As it stands now, Nigeria has a two party system: PDP and APC. If the youths want to make any meaningful change, we have to infiltrate those two from the grassroots. Get into the House of Representatives in the federal and state levels... run for LGA chairman. From there, you make the changes you want to make

kolakolex:
Local govt autonomy is the way forward

This is one of the many things restructuring will cover
