Igbo will be fully aligned with regional system if it is done properly not that stupid draft bill from one Yoruba man that seek to take away oil rich area from Imo State. How can one man sat in his room and draw nonsense for the whole country, who does that?

Which one and where is the link/source to it?

Did you hear them mention any SW states in the video. And for your information Lagos belong to all Nigerians as formal capital that was built by our common wealth. There is nothing your selfish tribe can do about it.

When the North says it's not good,then it's good for Nigeria.
The number one enemy of Nigeria is the North

Nonexisting1:
He spoke facts. Is there any documentary evidence to show that regional government was better than what we have now? No. The problem of Nigeria has always been Nigerians, not the system of government. I still support regionalism though or outright divison of the country because what we have now is not working. As it is now, things can not be better even with King David of bible as President.

This argument is flawed

For Nigerians to come together and make progress and for say yorubas to come together and make progress which is easier and more achievable?

There is not trust among Nigerians so lets have a system where people can trust themselves

Is that difficult?

ElSudani:


The system was not allowed to mature before it was thwarted.
Yet, these were the golden years of Nigeria as a nation.
Go back to regionalism. What we have right now will never work, not in 100 years.

As Emir,Sanusi pockets 4% direct from source(not after salary and expenditures) of the allocation of the whole 44 LGAs in Kano as
Now that most LGAs get about 150 million naira from Niger delta oil money,this is about 260 million naira monthly to do with as he likes
This is what Sanusi is after.
If they regionalise Nigeria, where will he and his family see such money to live in lavish?

Even people from Osun are claiming Lagos as if Lagos is their state. Migrants from different states claiming Eko. But some of them were recently deported and dumped in an evil forest in Osun. Na wa o

Regionalism and parliamentary system of government are not solutions to Nigeria's problem – Emir of Kano Sanusi
LindaikejisblogJun 14, 2024 7:38 PM

Regionalism and parliamentary system of government are not solutions to Nigeria
Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II has said that regionalism and parliamentary system of government are not solutions to Nigeria's problem.

Sanusi who said this in an interview with Vanguard, questioned the necessity of a bicameral legislature and the rationale behind appointing ministers from every state, even when not required. He noted that it contributes to bureaucratic inefficiencies and does not necessarily serve the best interests of the nation.


He also criticized the federal government's interference in state matters, particularly regarding traditional and chieftaincy affairs. Emir Sanusi also stressed the importance of upholding constitutional principles and maintaining a clear separation of powers to ensure accountable governance.

The monarch who noted that regionalism will exacerbate the issues in the country rather than resolve existing tensions, also called for a more cohesive national identity and governance structure that promotes unity and accountability.

He said;

“I think there are several things we can do to address those structures because at the end of the day if you allow the state governors to run, the thing with devolution is we have 36 states, if only half of the governors are good, at least half of Nigeria has a good government. There is too much power at the centre, too much of the resources. The centre does not do primary education or primary healthcare, and that is where the vast majority of Nigerians are. Shouldn’t those resources come to the state? Instead of everybody going to Abuja, what is happening in Abuja? There are several issues that we need to look at. And also simple constitutionalism and federalism, just even the respect of separation of separation of power. If you take the example of what is happening in Kano today, chieftaincy matter is 100 per cent a state matter.

“We had a parliamentary system in the First Republic. What happened? At the end of the day, it is the humans that operate the system. People talk about regions. Initially, the regions we had in this country were North, East, and West, and then it became NorthEast and MidWest. Where did the creation called six geo-political zones come from historically? We can keep dividing and subdividing this country and thinking of ourselves, but are we really honest? Are these regions?

“If you go to the Niger Delta, since when did the Itsekiri stop fighting wars against the Ijaw? Since when did we become homogeneous?

“It was the Sokoto Jihad that brought us together. From the Sokoto caliphate, we became Northerners, from Northerners, we became Nigerians. When I was in King’s College, I grew up under Yakubu Gowon in a country where Nigerians were thinking like Nigerians. What happened? Political leadership is the one that exploits regional and ethnic identities as part of the struggle for political office.


“When they get there, they all sit together. If you look at the president’s cabinet, what do you have? You have everybody from every state. You have Christians, you have Muslims, you have Northerners and Southerners. Why are they not fighting one another in there? The elites are irresponsible.

“Don’t think that pandering to these elites by saying the solution is going to a regional system of government. How do we go regional? In Yorubaland, there are Ijebu, Ekiti, Ijesha, Owo, and Egba since when did they become one? Right there between Ife and Modakeke, they were killing each other. It is not about that. It is not a solution. How many parts are you going to slice this country to get a homogenous country? How? With all the intermarriages and education, I am not sure that is a solution, and I think people have this dream that can only be sold by blocking out history.

“We had a regional system in the First Republic. How did it end? We had a parliamentary system in the First Republic. How did it end? I am not talking about the coup; I am talking about the crisis that led to the coup. Before Nzeogu, forget Ironsi. How was the system before they came? Is there any documentary evidence that that system was fundamentally better than what we have?

“We can’t shift responsibilities away from human beings, the people who are responsible for operating the system. If you go to the Senate and the House of Representatives, and you are there for 16 years and you have never passed a bill, you don’t even know that your job is to be a lawmaker.”

Sadly, a Fulani will never support regionalism. Even Sanusi will weep up theories, reasons and sentiments.

Somebody should help me tell him that we are not looking for Nigeria solution, we are looking for how to solve our region problem

GeneralOjukwu:
North might or might not support regionalism.

But I can bet anything, SE will NEVER support it.

They know their region is the least productive and inconsequential.

But the Ohaneze president who speaks for all igbos in nigeria was recently heard recommending regional govt as solution for nigeria's problems?

Those that wanted sanusi back as emir, enjoy yourselves

Facts go back to regional government with the same mindset you would get similar result. The cintestation would no longer be at the center but at the regions. Everyone just want to grab resource for themselves while playing the ethnic card.

Na this kind comment dey cause problems for SLS

you see why he was deposed in the first place. Speaking against the powers that made you relevant in the first place. I think the north should go and form their own Sokoto caliphate style of Jihad governance so he can have all the power he so desire

Oh, I didn't know you still have working brain 🧠.if you know everywhere in Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians why where you lamenting that people are trooping to Lagos? Let me be honest with you all this noise my Lagos, our Lagos ends with mere words. It is only where you own a physical land that belongs to you, nobody will give you free Land or house in Lagos because you are Yoruba. I will advise you to leave this tribal sentiment and focus on your hustle

I wonder why this dude became a King ....

I couldn't become a King of my Kingdom because of My Mouth ....

I'm like him & Elrufia but the traditional stool is too Powerless & insubordination to the Politicians ... You can Only see must not be seen ... You can only hear but not talk ...

You Can't criticise Government that are responsible for your staff of office, salary/allocation & entire Throne.....

Sanusi is better to be Finance Minister for 8years & Vice President for 8years then he should retire....

You should not be surprised by his viewpoint. As a Fulani and member of the ruling Muslim North elite, a restructured NIG will end his freel lunch. His nit the problem. We understand his fears. It is the Yorubas who mouth restructuring when out of power and when finanlly wins power, they sacrifice cause of restructuring for political peanuts.
