GeneralPula:
Nonsense. Don't be deceived by this restructuring. It's becoming another political word for scamming us !

Instead of all these Jangbajantis talk, make them tell all state Governors to stop looting. Make them start to dey spend 80-90% of what they getting from Federal government into their respective state. Ya'll will see as everything and everyone will fastly get alright..

We're suppose to start asking our governors what they do with state allocations. Most of them can't even construct durable roads, hospitals, schools yet they're getting money for all. State governors are one of the front evil among Nigeria politicians, yet they do live in peace/get away with it..

Nonsense is blaming your president and leaving una state Governors wey dey loot almost everyday to live in Peace !!

Attahiru Jega is one of the major reasons we are in the mess we find ourselves today. He helped rigged in the vegetable president, turned blind eye to child voting in the northern region and now here he is, speaking the mind of the Fulani Cabals against the restructuring of Nigeria.

Sensible South Nigerians doesn't give a heck about restructuring Nigeria anymore. We care more about disintegration of the dogshit of a Nation called Nigeria.


MAY I LIVE TO WITNESS THE DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA IN MY LIFETIME, AMEN

Jega was very correct in his statements.

Accountability, good governance and genuine fight against corruption will fix most of Nigeria's issues.

The whole restructuring call is nonsense.

mamaafrik:
it has been ingrained in the Muslim Hausa-Fulanis blood to defend the Lopsidedness of "one Nigeria",hear the foolish argument of a Professor of Political science,Gowon was Teleguided and uses by sokoto to achieve a Hausa Fulani Agenda just like the Middlebelt was used and some foolish one in the south until they realize that they are just useless pun in the Hausa-Fulanis game of chess playing,you see how some paid e buffons are tactically uaing Yoruba head against the Igbos and the SS and we in the south fall for it easily,who is benefitting??, Think,the Hausa-Fulanis are losing the Middle belt and they know the consequence,a united South is a a problem,now with Middle belt joining the South,they know they are finished,that is why they paid some fools to cause division amongst us,anytime you see such post report and remove it

CalmElder:
Restructuring is the way to go, Mr Jega.
Minorities will taste power if power is rotated.
Oga Jona, your talk on mind restructuring can only be achieved if our educational system is very very sound, cos, as long as there are semi educated people in influential positions, nepotism will still be the order. You don't expect people to wake one morning and restructure their mind as one, at once, together, like in the twinkling of an eye, do you? Be realistic for once.
Nwodo is right.

alasane:


Middle Belt joining South …..your are really hallucinating

alasane:

And I never see power rotating between TIV & IDOMA in Benue state(just thinking aloud).So who is deceiving who?

CalmElder:









Hallu what?
He's right, the north is selfish.
An example that the middle belt is no longer pro north can be heard in Orkar's speech in 1990, even his fellow actors never expected it.
What's your evidence that middle belt won't follow the South?

alasane:

Me from Middle Belt "WILL NEVER, EVER " be with the Igbos no matter the unpleasant experience i will have from the core North.....how many prominent middle belters had their education,business,home or investment in the EAST? They are tribalist,bigot,greed and selfish

CalmElder:








I didn't say East. I said South, of which East is only a part.
Southern Nigeria is half of Nigeria.
Are you aware that Benue state is geographically South and not North?

alasane:


Middle Belt joining South …..your are really hallucinating

Did you even read the entire article. Do you even know of the 1963 constitution, a flawed constitution, a tedious exercise in ethnic contest. Nigeria has moved on from the 1963 constitution yes the 1999 constitution is flawed and may not entirely represent the aspirations of the people, however the people send representatives to the national assembly every 4 years, those representatives need to be held accountable.

What Jega said is spot on and is the reality , not a single state in the SE, NC , NE or the SS especially would submit to relinquishing the autonomy.
The SW and NW are substantially more comfortable with the idea of a desolving the stated into one they already have existing organisation to promote a unified economic development plan

AustineJohn908:
Ok na. keep postponing it. saying it nonsense. when push comes to shove and we are all tired of the country..we go divide.
but we're telling them now, save Nigeria from division by restructuring and bringing in a new Constitution.
A constitution where it won't matter the state you originate from but if you have live in a particular region or state for up to 10 years you can contest for election and vote to, be you white, brown, black, Christian, Muslim, Jewish etc. as long as the people there vote for you just as how it is done in develop world like the USA, UK, Germany etc.
A constitution where a region will have it own national guard(USA type) which will answer to the regional governor only. and the state leaders( like mayor ) will control the police..which entirely will be made up of people that is from the state or have live there for more than 10 years and swear allegiance to that state .
A constitution where institutions of the state will have enough power to even investigate a president ( Trump and the Russia election Saga)
A constitution where they won't be immunity for the Governors/ Mayors of any region/ state


A constitution where they won't be asking for Religion, State of Origin, language etc(Like the USA)

A constitution where each state will control their resources and make money from it and give a certain agreeable percentage to the centre govt. so each and every state/ Region will grow at it own pace not being slow down by a particular region.
A constitution where the federal Govt will only control the army, airforce,Navy,immigration, Foreign affairs etc..
A constitution where each state/ Region will build and supply it citizen power. so if Region A refuses to invest in power it won't affect region C.
A constitution where the state Govt or regional govt will invest in their own rail lines without having to go through the FG.
A constitution where they will be security for the people and they won't be scare of the fulani if they're in power.
A constitution that will make the FG very weak and the regional govt stronger....so the Igbos won't care who is in power or the north won't care cause they control their own resources and do what they like.
A constitution where every state will have it own supreme Court, high court etc with it own laws....just like the USA.
Every state law differs.
A constitution where even the police chief or govt will not be able to defend a Police man who kill extrajudicially etc.
A constitution where election will be free and fair and any politician who is caught committing election fraud will be dealt with and will be ban from ever participating in any election ( can vote but never be voted for) Politicians head go clear by force.

Bro when will restructure like this, our mindset will restructure too. no one will be blaming any region or state for it woos.

CoolAmbience:




Is that your take?

I don't see any reason for a restructuring.

If regionalism was so perfect, what caused the country to go into a civil war?

Which constitution empowers a police Chief to defend an offending police officer?

Please, let's stop these unnecessary sensationalism.

How does states having their own Supreme Court affect the common citizen? Won't these courts still be hijacked by the states?

Governance is about accountability, transparency and rounded development.

Your thinking would overhaul the tilted constitution?

If you people still believe in one Nigeria without restructuring, in the next 100 years, poverty, nepotism,insecurity, fulanism would still be staring at your face,

Nwodo has told you as an information minister was not privy to a constitution draft that was suppose to cater for the people, and clamours are there to overhaul this constitution that was drafted by 40 northern military tribalist, yet the yorubas sees nothing wrong in this

Jonathan my brother is so weak that he cant speak the truth, what is mind restructuring, would mind restructuring stop the appointment of northern ppl alone, would it stop the employment of 98% of northerners in fed ministries, parastatal, agencies , nnpc, nlng etc.

Restructure this forsaken country and save the plight of our yet unborn children esp from the south from economic, religious and political quagmire.

Jega was bribe with billions to rigg election, so he cant be objective in his assertion about restructuring. Moreover the current status favour them, so they see nothing wrong in it.

Time will come when all the enemies of restructuring would be dealt with, time will come when all the saboteurs and northerners would be shown the way out of our land , oil facilities ,water ways etc, just like the way kukah was ask to apologies or leave sokoto,

And it is not going to be riotous, it would be a joint and concerted movement of the south south and south east.

Foolish Nigerians, Stupid Leaders...

AustineJohn908:
And all these stuffs about accountability, Transparency and rounded development can't take place if every one is scare of who is in the centre. is a fulani man that is the president, the Igbos will be scare, if it an igbo man the north will be scare or if it a Yoruba man the Igbos will be scare. it doesn't make sense

And what I'm saying about Police chief defending an offending police man is that the police doesn't answer to the state Govtnors. check these SARS officers and what they did in Anambra state and you will see what I'm talking about.

About the development part. do you know Akwa ibom state needed a FG approval before we could begin building the seaport? so that's means if a President comes in that don't like my state he can make sure approval aren't given for capital projects that will develop my state.
Do you know Ex governor Akpabio spent allot of Akwa ibom money in building power plant to power the whole of Akwa ibom but when time came we had to send this Power to the centre so the whole Federation will share it? So it means if state A doesn't invest in power it will still reap the harvest that State B is supposed to reap?

Do you know a Regional Govtment would've made sure that say South south region is linked up by Rail lines instead of waiting for a federal govt to link it up.
Check out the East, they're begging the FG to link their region with Rail, don't you think a regional govt of theirs would've done that by now?

Because the first Regional system was dissolved doesn't mean it was wrong, it shows the military leaders of that time were short sighted.

If we don't restructure today we will all suffer tomorrow, Oil is becoming worthless and soon it will worth less than 10 dollars which will not be enough to offset our bills as a nation.
The truth is that when we restructure now eery region will start planning of life without oil money(Daddy's money) and so leaders that will come in will have to think of where to get money from, and there will be less stealing. Lazy leaders won't go in any longer (especially those outside the oil producing Regions/states)....
For all our good, we have to restructure now.

Why is it that Kano, Kaduna all these sharia state keep sharing money for VAT they don't contribute in? same VAT their sharia police keep destroying bottles of beers etc.
If you don't see restructuring can solve that then I can't help your case.
