WaffenSS:


All the current chaos is in the midst of the constitution. We've always had one (bar military misadventures)

Our mentality and predications are not mature for what we term restructuring.

I'm telling you that with our complex mix of ethnicities and bigotry, many tribes and states will make laws, which the constitution gives them the right to, to make life unbearable for perceived enemies.

hmmm, you do have a point though, the constitution has been damned in naija on numerous occasions.

the best thing is to peacefully spit up in the future.

I firmly believe, that all tribes can make it. There are natural resources in all parts of Nigeria, just that we don't know what to do with it.

I was shocked when I heard that the North has Uranium, I mean how cool is that? Don't know if it is being mined though

NwaAmaikpe:




The most important of all which you have ignorantly left out is;
A REFERENDUM.

After restructuring the country, it will be a lot easier to conduct a referendum.

Atiku/Obi.
The people's only choice.
We and all our families are behind you.

the only thing that can save Nigeria now is "restructuring"

former Soviet Union did it three decades ago.

today Russia is better off than the 15 republics they free.

perestroika ?

Good Piece my brother. This is what Nigerians need now

10 things you wish will happen is different from 10 things that will happen.

I don't recall any peaceful split in history. Fissures usually occur after some violent upheaval

Also our problem is largely religious rather than regional. So the northern christian minorities will be in a tough spot if we can magically find a formula for peaceful balkanization.

Only pros then. No cons

Aquariann:
Whoever wrote this is painfully naive if s/he's thinking these are part of Atiku's plan.. There's a reason Atiku and his co-travellers keep shouting restructuring without exactly breaking it down to the points listed by the op (which are noble by the way).

Atiku in clear terms should be able to tell us and break it down

- Is he for state police?
- Is he for 100% resource control? (He has answered this already saying as much as he would like it, Nigeria can't achieve it now)
- Is he for devolution of Abuja powers?
-Regionalism? etc

And not just shout I'll restructure Nigeria.

do your research next time before commenting. search 'Atiku on restructuring' on Google.

Firstly, define restructuring.

Olodo Buharideen!!!!

It's obvious you didn't read the post cause the definition is there in the first paragraph

servercodes001:
No!!!!!

1) states like bayelsa that receive over 800% more grant than most populous kano have NOTHING to show of development, why? The leaders are stealing the money
2)enormous corruption and looting
3)excessive tribalism and nepotism
4)uneven development across the country
5)poor leadership in each state
6)long period of time before states get their acts together
7)most states have NOTHING to depend on
8. )no federal grant means states like jigawa, nasarawa, kwara etc cannot afford to pay their civil servants
9)it takes decades to build an economy which means all the states must go back to the 19th century
10) there will be war and chaos
11) with the current living hardship no state can bear economic building
12) states controlling their resources means enormous theft, all the thieves in each state will have access to state treasury and they'll surely empty

Blame the white people that amalgamated this country

Black people sef... always seeing the white people as God. What is it that the white people did that the black man can't undo? Is the white man the omni scient whose deeds are eternally binding no matter what?

What do you guys understand by restructuring. Frist like me tell you guys Nigeria is already restructured. Cos state don't earn the same allocation. The state that is earning the highest allocation is still the same state that is still under development in nigeria.

WaffenSS:
With our religious and ethnocentric dispositions, powerful states controlling their resources and state police will become xenophobic towards others. You can bet your horse on this.

Imagine the governors of kaduna, Taraba, Plateau, and Benue having so much power to make laws and enforce these laws.

Imagine Lagos, with its sentiments against Igbos, having the power to make and amend sequestration laws, segregation laws, property ownership laws, and worst of all...indigeneship laws.

Imagine the chaos.

you're right. this got me thinking

Restructuring has to do with the corporate management term for the act of reorganizing the legal, ownership, operational, or other structures of a company for the purpose of making it more profitable, or better organized for its present needs.




With the recent ongoing cry for the restructuring of Nigeria, here are top ten things that would happen if Nigeria is restructured.

1. No More Federal Allocation: The normal trend of states waiting to receive allocation/ "oil money" from the federal treasury will become a thing of the past.

2. States Will Control Their Resources: The various states in Nigeria, will be in full control of their resources. Take for instance, Enugu; the coal producing state will be in full control of how coal is mined, transported and exported without the interference of the federal government. The federal government will play it's role by ensuring the coal mining follows due procedure.

3. Less Power in Abuja: Currently, Nigeria runs a very a expensive government because of the centralized power in Abuja. If Nigeria is restructured, power no longer rests solely in Abuja, but is shared equally among states. This implies that states can have their own separate laws guiding them.

4. State Policing Will be Made Possible: Imagine a Nigeria with a police force bearing the name "KAPD" standing as Kano State Police Department. The various states in Nigeria will be able to be in full control of their military; with Abuja overseeing them all.

5. Government Workers will be more serious: Restructuring this country, is sure to make civil servants serious in carrying out their responsibilities as there would be competition among states to have the best output.

6. Unemployment Reduction: Restructuring Nigeria will reduce the rate of unemployment; because the 36 states with mineral resources will begin to explore and harness their resources leading to a new era of utilization of these human and mineral resources.

7. Increase in Healthy Competition: Nigerian states without good healthcare, schools and public infrastructure will begin to work hard to provide such, so that they can be seen as good among their counterparts. For instance, if a state is not doing well in providing quality education; and sees people leaving the state for other states that state can decide to work hard to improve the education infrastructure to see that it competes with states with the best education.

8. Less dependence on Oil: Due to the fact, that states now control their resources, crude oil will no longer be the main source of revenue for the country; leading to the increase in diversity in revenue generation. Some states could go into manufacturing, some into real large scale Textile making, some into full time agriculture.

9. General Development: The country will generally develop. Each state will be responsible for the improving a key sector of the economy leading to massive development.


10. Nigerian crude oil could lose value: With the dwindling price of oil, and the growing concern about carbon poisoning caused by crude oil, the world is moving toward a green environment. Hence, revenue generated by oil in the south south of Nigeria will make little or no sense in the international markets in the nearest future. By 2020, many countries in Europe will begin the use of electric vehicles.

Top Ten Things that will happen if Nigeria is restructured
https://www./2018/11/top-ten-things-that-will-happen-if.html?m=1

The Oguta river port will be completed n the onitsha river port will come back to life n the other 6/7 ports in the SS will come back to life n those states will start generating their own billions monthly.

Lagos will become traffic jam free n then depopulate naturally

VaselineCrew:


no chaos when you have a constitution, as and federal laws are subject to it, with some exceptions... cough, cough, sharia, cough

until a referendum occurs, where each tribe can reform their lost countries/territories

It would have been easier if your parents had not met and brought you into this miserable country?because nothing like a referendum for the bull crap you said should happen about lost countries & territories,worse than a fools paradise.

Both you and the OP are just saying the same thing but from different dimensions..
The things you pointed out will happen first; then the ones of OP will start to manifest later in order to put things in order..
Sure it won't take decades to settle..
But truly, it won't take only 4 years shaa..
Both of you are correct.

Restructuring is the best thing that can happen to Nigeria now, check other countries that are practicing true federalism.
