If the constitutional amendment for regional government is to succeed,

who should lead the North central region?



⚫️ Bukola Saraki
⚫️ Umaru Tanko Al-Makura
⚫️ Abubakar Sani Bello
⚫️ Yahaya bello

Why will the amendment to return to regional government system not succeed?

The north which opposed it has seen the devastation and poverty which the present unitary government system has wrecked on Nigeria, especially in the North.
If for example, Sharia criminal justice system is allowed in the constitution of the region of Northern Nigeria, there is no reason for Boko Haram to emerge and say it's fighting for a country to be governed with Sharia criminal justice system. Now see the havoc wrecked by Boko Haram on Nigeria as a whole. Tourism money is lost to Nigeria. Many countries live on income from tourists.
There should have been no need for later days secessionist groups to emrge if regional government system is in practice in Nigeria. The present type of unitary government system introduced by northern military dictators with their constitution to legit the fraudulent political structure and unitary government system they created; has been suffocating all in Nigeria.

That will be the best Nigeria so far, as long as they are restricted from running to abuja when they steal from public fund and retrieve heavy security from them
Then we're ok with that.

Never ever say NEVER!!!

Oga,we are getting more states not going backwards

lwisee:


We are going to back to regional government.
This post is definitely a sponsored post on nairaland and Twitter to analyse people's reaction

We are not.the reps has disowned it

11Monkeys:
In the South East, give it to Peter Obi.

South South, that is where problem starts.

South West give it to Tinubu. Priority is agbado and ewa with serious ebinpawa.

The best solution is to insert secession clause into the constitution so that Biafran monkeys can go and form their country.

11Monkeys:



How come you didn't include the master strategist on the list?

You don't want Tinubu to rule your South West region but he is your preferred choice for Nigeria, right?

Damned hypocrite.

Talk about your cursed biaflan region

Op hope you aren't setting a stage for regional war? Just imagine the personality you put forward for some of the region!!

The moment I saw this thread on nairaland I knew the battle will be between obedient and baterians...

Exactly what Nigeria NEEDS in this era.

A UNITED REGIONS OF NIGERIA (URN) is the way forward IF we are going to remain as "One Nigeria".

Of course, the colonial masters deeply studied the ethnic composition of Nigeria, and saw that regional government system suits independent country, Nigeria, best.
Aguiyi Ironsi tinkered on regional government system when he took some powers from the regional governments in order for him to avert imminent separation of the north from Nigeria. Thereafter, northern military dictators introduced the present suffocating type of unitary government system to channel excess funds from crude oil to the 20 new federating units they proliferated in the old Northern region, as well as excess political advantages from the excess number of representative constituencies derived from the 20 new federal units in the northern region. After that, Nigeria took to the road to collapse as a country.

Peter Obi has outgrown South East region, he deserves to govern the whole of Africa, not even Nigeria alone

I know those that won't be picked. Yorubas will never pick Tinubu to lead them just as Igbos will remember the flaws of Obi and will never allow him to lead them.

you are the greatest liar.... Igbo didn't pick obi because of his charisma but they see future through him... Put someone from your region who is brighter than obi and see them queue behind that person... Igbos are not tribalist... I hope you are enjoying Ur jagaban

⚫️ Sule lamido

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso might win the leadership seat here because of his sentimental connection to the Talakawas or the folks on the street level in the far-North of Nigeria.

Naptu2, I also think that boundary adjustments would need to be made so that ethnically similar communities can be merged administratively with their larger kith and kin in each of these regions.

Also having up to 9 regions instead of 6 regions would also help to create more room to allow other ethnicities in the Middle Belt States and South of Southern States to thrive better.

Also the Western part of the Middle Belt has more Muslims than other religions, while the Eastern part of the Middle Belt has more of those who claim to be Xtians and adherents of the various traditional religions.

The Edoid folks in Edo and Delta States can be in one solid region while the Ijaws of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, etc, can form another regional bloc with the Efiks, Ejagbams (Ekoi), Ibibio, Annangs, etc, of Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers. Better yet give Cross Rivers and Akwa Ibom their own single bloc region. While the Rivers, Bayelsa and the Ijaws of Delta State can all be in the same regional bloc.

These can be further tweaked to take care of ongoing concerns.

Just my 2 cents.

Soludo for SE . The rest are learners.

Op you are not serious, why didn't you include Tinubu's name?

I HOPE EACH REGION WILL ALSO CONTROL THEIR RESOURCES AND THE COMPANIES THAT USED THIS RESOURCES....... I HOPE YORUBAS AND HAUSA'S WILL NOT OWNED OIL WELL BLOCKS IN NIGER DELTA.

I HOPE NIGER-DELTA MONEY WILL NOT BE USED TO FEED THE ENTIRE NATION.

AND I HOPE EACH REGION WILL ALSO CONTROL THEIR SECURITY

The only region that can manage themselves are the south and south east.
The rest take politics as a career and an avenue to dip their hands in other regions wealth

Tinubu is greater than Azikiwe, Agbari Ojukwu and all Ibo leaders put together.

Ibo land was the most backward during the era of regional government. That was why Ibo soldiers s truncated the first Republic.

We agree he's the greatest. Please tell the OP to edit the post and include him too.
You don't want him to govern your region, but to be the president of the whole country is the best abi?
Blackman I hail you.

South East is NOI or Peter Obi

Soludo, umiah, ayim stand no chance Morgalu would beat them even

So how is Peter Obi better than an Umahi or a Soludo?

Melagros is another one of them.

9japride is another that needs to scroll down and read the message on the first page.

I am not reading beyond that page I saw. The first section is ok with me.
Why didn't you include he's name in that list? You expect me to continue reading that Jagon? No

I couldn't give a shit about what you read and what you don't read (that's your personal problem), I owe you no explanation whatsoever and your views do not interest me at all.

You are free to continue wasting your time, but I won't read or respond to your posts.

Have a nice life.
