Why Cant Nigeria Return Regional Govt? by cocolacec(m): 5:26pm On Dec 03, 2021 |
Nigeria was a country of regions from 1952-1966 until the military abolished it and turn Nigeria into a unitary state.No countries with ethnic diversities practise unitary system and succeed.Our people are dying of hopelessness,poverty and hardship. Most developed and progressing countries from Europe,Africa,North America practise regional system of govt.Countries practising tegional govt are Sweden,UK,Ghana,South Africa,Ethiopia etc For example United Kingdom as a country of regions have wales,Scotland,England and Northern Ireland.Each region controls its resources,police,military,education,health,agriculture etc America which practises federal system of govt whereby each state control its resources,police,benefits etc. Why cant Nigeria go back to regional govt or practise real federalism like America?Igbo jobs for igbos,Ijaw jobs for ijaws etc 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Whether regional, state or federal, the problem with Nigeria is the Nigerians themselves, their lawlessness and lack of accountability. Until we remedy that nothing can work 2 Likes |

cocolacec: Why do you think we dont have Regional government today? Its because when Gowon came to power, he abolished the 4 Regions that existed and replaced them with 12 states. Subsequent military rulers from the North kept sub-dividing those 12 states until we had 36 states. It was a well calculated move by the North because unitary system favours the North, while Regionalism favours the South. The unitary system we practice today allows the North to maintain its political control of Nigeria Nigeria will never restructure or return to Regional system because the North will never allow it, the current system favours them 3 Likes 1 Share |

thesicilian: However, this unitary state structure makes things worse. This system where everyone goes to Abuja to share allocation every month encourages corruption and laziness. Under the Regional system, there is no Abuja to go and share money 2 Likes 1 Share |

gidgiddy:Unitary state, a system of political organization in which most or all of the governing power resides in a centralized government, in contrast to a federal state. In a unitary state, the central government commonly delegates authority to subnational units and channels policy decisions down to them for implementation, Mumurist was it President Buhari in Abuja that chose the Governor & Local Government Executives of your state? A good example of a unitary state includes the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, Northern Ireland, Wales, and Scotland hold some degree of devolved and autonomous power. ... Examples of areas include the Kingdom of Norway and the Republic of Ireland. Dummy. 4 Likes |

gidgiddy:You're not wrong. It's just that the argument for regional system of government would have been stronger if there's any good evidence of what each region/state is currently doing with their IGRs and monthly allocations. In other words, why should I fight for more revenue to come to my region if the little one coming in now is being embezzled with reckless abandon? 4 Likes 1 Share |

When Ironsi wanted to please the North at all costs in 1966 because of the killing of Ahmedu Bello, the caliphate secretly ordered him to declare Unitary system. He refused to implement the system even though he actually declared it. The fear of Gen Ironsi reversing the decree was why the North quickly killed him in Ibadan and Yakubu took over to implement the system. Same way Abacha was killed by the caliphate after forging a fake, Pro HausafulaniKanuri Muslim constitution in place of the real 1994 constitutional conference document. Nobody is bigger than the Caliphate since 1966 till date except the Regional Government if allowed again |

helinues:Nobody abolished anything they only broke the region’s into smaller units, for more representation of the people been dominated by the majority tribes & named them states. A failure is still a failure whether it is called region or state. |

Regional governments are no more efficient in the modern world. It will depress the economy of the entire region. There would be parallel structures and multiple regulations. The first thing that would be affected is FDI. For the next five years after your nonsense restructuring to regional governments, no global companies will invest or expand their operations. The world has no patience for inferiority complexes, feelings of persecution or whatever idiocy would make you close up your economy and make it too difficult to operate. They will simply stay away. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Regional government is gone forever…….thanks but no thanks to overzealous military officers (predominantly of Igbo extraction) who never think before they acted. More like today’s hunchback namadi cownu and his Ipob terrorists, who formed ESN/unknown gunmen, thinking they will protect the east, now they’re killing Igbo. Also, the Ipob terrorists are also thinking by locking down the SE every Monday, they are punishing the jublil of Sudan aka Buhari, not knowing their suffering just dey increase day by day. The morale of the story is: always think before acting,,,,,,never act like an Igbo man, whose stock in trade is to “act before thinking “. Something tells me that if an Igbo man wants to sleep with an olosho, he will first do round 1 without condom. After 1st round, he will then use condom for subsequent rounds, after wey the damage has been done already. 4 Likes |
