one of the advantages of true federalism is that the regional governments enter into competition in terms of development. This would quicken development in all the 36 states. The disadvantage is that unity could be lost among the 36 states making up the federation units as it gives room for cessation because power is resided in the regions. Most of the supreme powers are withdrawn from the central government and are concentrated in the regional governments making the regional governments prone to cessation. |

Smart Yoruba asked for REGIONAL AUTONOMY and pay taxes to the center the first time and we still stand by it. With this we can control the influx of people, get our state taxes, out of state services for those whose last name can't be traced to any local government within the region and so on. Federalism will no way be in favor of the Yoruba because it will tie our hands. We won't be able to get anything from other regions but have our resources stretched thin by others, with us still taking orders indirectly from the center and bound by the one Nigeria nonsense that has taken more from us than what given back. Federalism favors regions with their people mostly outside. Give me REGIONALISM or BREAKUP! 4 Likes |

DEAFandDUMB: Lagos will be fine - that is a state that generates a decent amount of money on its own to support its needs and can borrow on the international markets if need be. I'd be more concerned for a place like Kano that has a huge population and dwindling industry. How will they cope without free oil money? |

nigerianvenom: Its unfortunate most people do not know that what have now in the country is actually federalism structured is such a way to favor the entire country. I can't remember all the details but I know there is an exclusive list for the Federal Govt which contains security, electricity, foreign relations e.t.c, what we should ask is that FG should remove electricity from that list so that SG can generate, supply and consume within their states. I was expecting Fashola to champion this cause but it seems bros is quiet about it since he assumed his new position. If we can push our law makers to do this, the SG will also allow LG's to do it with time. 2 Likes |

Why are you arguing with known facts? One of the demerits of socialism is breeding of laziness! When wealth is distributed based on population rather that income generation what do you expect?

DEAFandDUMB: I think Federalism won't delegate all powers to the governors It will be a regional system, hence there will be a regional head while d governors still exist Hence d organogram may look like President, Regional heads, governors & LG chairmen The country will have a currency that will be used in all regions and a common constitution, I suppose |

mikolo80: You are wrong sir... There are some things called "Federal Exclusive " list.... Power, Rail, Police, Ports and othrr critical infrastructure are at the exclusive prerogative of the federal government.... States has no right to undertake FG exclusive projects. This is why states hardly repair federal roads... its same reasons why all ports are owned by FG... Delta and Akwa Ibom tried to build their own sea ports and were frustrated. Look at your power grid... You can't generate power without federal license and the power u generate will be shared people u don't know while your state is in darkness. Delta state has 3 power plants and yet power is erratic in Asaba... If you were the governor, will u build another power plant? That is why we have epileptic power in Nigeria. So states can't just build anything they like. Whatever they want to build, they have to ship it to lagos and haul by trucks to their respective states.... All these useless laws limits and restrict investments. That is why it is better for Nigeria to revert to regionalism... Let people build whatever they want and keep it instead of chasing federal approval and then sharing their sweat with people they dont know 13 Likes 2 Shares |

DEAFandDUMB: Dear thanks for raising this important matter. Our leaders both past and present know this obvious fact that true fiscal federalism is the only way we can remain a country but, greed and hunger for power to enrich themselves never let them do the needful. we are just deceiving ourselves here because, there has never been peace and unity in this country because of this feeding bottle system of government we are currently practicing. Disunity is a symptom. We just live in a denial here and keep massaging the truth. The solution to all these agitations lies in ending this feeding bottle structure that we practice which encourages neocolonialism, the amalgamation of North and South is a big fraud. There is so much injustice, inequity, subjugation, winner-takes-it-all. There can't be peace under this structure, and if there is no peace there can't be unity or progress. Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity. In this present structure where you have too strong center, one people use the instrument of the state to oppress and marginalize others. And when they protest they get killed. And we are talking about peace and unity. Let's be sincere, where in the world would security operatives open fire on unarmed civilian doing peaceful protest? Let's stop massaging the truthThis feeding bottle system of government we are running in this nation is the cause of all these problems. We need to end this structure. I am in total support of true fiscal federalism where every zones contribute a token to the centre and take their future and pace of growth in their own hands, and express their cultures and religion freely, and practice their vocations unhindered. I strongly believed that this is the only way to end this injustice. People must agitate for self determination and for resource control when they feel marginalized and abandoned. So, let every well meaning Nigerians begin to support the proposed fiscal federalism instead of engaging in all these tribal sentiments and insult because, it will only bring hatred and more agitations. Everyone must be made to feel involved, protected and represented for there to be first, a sense of patriotism, then unity. 2 Likes 1 Share |
