That system didn't work back them. It was an imported constitution from Britain. Britain works because the English comprises a vast majority (over 70% of the population), and unlike us Nigerians, they are not tribal in nature. This is evident by the fact that foreigners like Nigerians can go there and become mayors and supreme court leaders.

Nigeria is an ethnic jungle. People welcomed the 1970s constitutional amendment when it came then because the old constitution very nearly split the country apart (civil war and such).

For one, the old constitution doesn't account for the fact that there are over 250 minority groups living in Nigeria. Which was an oversight by our colonizers who simply lumped everyone into Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. A crude mimicry of their home system of English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish, which are the only ethnic groups. In this constitution, a lot of minority groups where sidelined, couldn't hope for their own people getting key positions on a national level even in their own home, as the regions where not evenly distributed, e.g Eastern Region, Western Region, and Northern Region.

In Nigeria today, people are already marginalized. Imagine what happens when it no longer becomes legally enforced for Inclusivity on employment. If left to their own devices, each state would only employ people native to their own state. A lot of agitations would spring out, and we'll have another civil war in our hands.

I went indepth on this and even thought up a better way that Nigeria can be governed, one that doesn't draw from both the current and old constitution. I called it the Winning Horse Constitution. Read all about it here:

I totally agree with your surmise. Going back to 1963 constitution is going back to making the North bigger and stronger politically in the context of Nigeria. This is what Awolowo fought to correct. Even in the 1963 constitution, politicians still put a lot of prize in being the Prime Minister of Nigeria i.e. Awolowo values more to be Prime Minister of Nigeria than Regional Premier of South West. Also like you mentioned, we all tend to forget that there are 250 "minorities" in Nigeria who prefer this present political setup than the 1963 setup - at least they have influence in their states.

And while you are planning for tomorrow, do not forget to "live" today.

I bought a Toyota Corolla 2006 model just over a year ago. It was salvaged, this I knew before I bought it (through the VIN nos). I bought it because I was very impressed with the low mileage (16Kmiles). And i confirmed (through inspection) that the engine is ok. 13 months on, the problems I expected were those that came about i.e. not so cool AC (i needed to change d condenser, n i mite need to change d evaporator), slightly faulty electricals i.e. auto windows+side mirrors). But I enjoyed seeing d low mileage and hearing the engine performance. Also d passenger airbag is gone. I bought the car 200k - 300k less than normal car dealer price.
Will I buy another salvaged car in future? ANS: If the price is sufficiently low and all the important things being ok, I will.

But the best advice is GET INFORMED BEFORE YOU MAKE THE DECISION. (afterall it's a >1Mill Naira purchase).
