I don't think it would be beneficial to delve into federalism at once without making plans for it, else it would fail. We must start with state police and devolution of powers and create policies that would help poorer states or regions which depend mostly on federal allocation.
We must take it step by step to acheive this in 3-5 years.
Back to the topic, l agree with you and l have nothing else to add. We have more to gain from federalism than what we may suffer.

God I love this topic, someone thinking about the positive side of restructuring, although it might seem impossible but this is the kind of country we all want to belong to. when all region can develop at their own pace. thereby reducing the rot at the center

however I would like to add that our political system as to change also the manner at which we elect our officials. I mean how expensive how electioneering process is when a governor spends over 5billion naira to be in office do you expect him not to cash back from is investment. we must make public office less attractive where are school teacher could be governor so far he has the good will of the people.

I feel restructuring would make each region competitive and it would enable people of each region hold their leaders accountable when they see the positive growth of another region and theirs lacking. apparently restructuring seem much ambiguous let's call it the RESET when a constitution is written based on the people's will.

it we the youth that can make this happen and it starts with our immediate environment. one love

Where will SP get money to run their region?Awo did what he did then bc of resource control on cocoa but today no cocoa.Ondo has less oil,lagos huge IGR will dwindle bc ppl will move back to their provinces like u said in FCT.Other SW states rely a lot on fed allocation hence they will never support it.

shervydman:


other SW states wants restructuring.......infact, most Nigerian states stylishly want restructuring.
the reason why cocoa crashed is because of this useless federal government ish that wants to control everything in the country. u know; if we restructure, all regions MUST have a source of revenue, that would make the regional governments to think of alternative ways of generating revenues rather than waiting for allocation from FCT.
other ways of generating revenues may include.
1. agriculture (almost all regions excluding the oil damaged places)
2. independent mining sector (almost all states has at least two natural resources).
3. manufacturing (give it to the eastern regions).
4. industries would be scattered across all regions, no monopoly on that.

Lagos may not even be an economic capital again cos economy would be distributed across all regions and it will enhance better standard of living for the populace as a whole.
imagine if people don't come to Lagos for job opportunities since it is in the eastern, western, middle-belt regions and so on. will Nigeria not be a better place?

otosa:
I think if this can be the solution to our problem let fight for it after all we are not benefiting anything from this current of system of Govt. Maybe if we try another one Nigeria will getting better again.

the OP tried..........

Number 1 is true, no doubt. But you'll be taxed to death.

mars123:

The main problem of this country is that there is no equity, justice and fairness. So before we talk about restructuring we have to first have a consensus where we will agree to conditions for peaceful coexistence. Let us sit on a round table and plan and implement a future for this country.

Cooly100:


We know all that...I just needed to know why they would be the first to have power 24/7 that other provinnce...Also if it is no big deal, why is it so difficult now...

Cooly100:


Gas from where...? You need to construct a dam for hydro system...The EP has huge gas and coal...already...so...?

Cooly100:
A question for you..Where will the WP get their power from..as you claim they will be the first to have 24/7 power? The EP has Geometeric already....It just needed to be extended to the areas in the province...
