Since the inception of the Buhari- led administration, there have been calls for restructuring. This current system being practiced in Nigeria has failed the whole country. The whole country is on fire. What is the way out?

Regionalism is the answer. It has worked for us before but the only defect is that it promoted ethnic loyalty but on the contrary, regionalism brought development into the country. The three regions were highly competitive and this brought about rapid development.

The West till today enjoys the legacy regionalism gave the country. Majority of the residents of the West are highly educated which has and is still bringing unprecedented growth.

The flairs of the type of regionalism practiced during the 1st republic should be worked on and Nigeria should be given an upgraded version.

This current system of governance in practice only makes the politicians lazy. Most of the states are in financial trouble because of the failure of past and successive governments to prepare for the worst. With an improved regional system, the problem of laziness would be curbed to a large extent.

It was under regionalism that Nigeria was a pride to Africa. Do not also forget that when Nigeria was practicing regionalism, there was no oil yet discovered. Now that we are in a world whereby oil is falling, regionalism is the answer to Nigeria's wake up call.

Many people don't know or say the TRUTH in Nigeria.

In what way has regionalism worked in Nigeria?

The Regional Governments were all corrupt and they could not cope with internal ethnic micro nationalism as well.

Operation wetie, corruption, ten - percent ing , was the hallmark of our regional arrangement.

Look at the middle-belt of Nigeria. Can you put all the ethnic groups and religions under one region?
No

Regionalism FAILED. That was why we had the military in Government.

If you cannot think of something more original than a PAST MISTAKE ,then you are intellectually lazy

Everything you wrote above is nonsense. It was during the period of Regionalism, particularly in the 50's abd 60's that Nigeria had its best times. Since Gowon dismantled the Regions in 1966 abd replaced with unitarism, Nigeria has had no progress. The center has become very powerful while the federating units have become very weak. It is quite shocking that a country like Nigeria with over 250 indigenous ethnic groups, one man will hold the office of president, head of Government and commander in chief of the Armed forces. In some contries that practice regionalism, 3 different people will hold each of those offices. It was Nigeria that failed as a nation and not Regionalism

I've always been an advocate of regionalism in which the current geopolitical zones will form the foundation. I advocate for ten regions which will function as federating autonomous states and a unicamera parliament in Abuja led by a Prime Minister elected by Parliamentarians.
With the exception of Southern Kaduna, all states in Northwest can form a region and evolve internal structures for themselves, fix their headquarter wherever and engage in their own form of developmental programs.

The Northeast can also involve into a state with head quater wherever and emerge as their own economic force.

The Northcentral can emerge as two to cover all the minorities, the western and eastern areas of the north central including southern kaduna.

The southwest and come Yoruba kinsmen in Kogi, kwara and Akoko Edo, itsekiri can evolve as one region/state too.

The southeast states and igbo kinsmen willing in the south south can evolve into a region just like the Bendel region of Edo and Delta while the rest of Niger Delta can also be a region.

I believe this is one of the critical keys to political and socioeconomic growth of Nigeria.

The regions were broken on May 24, 1966 through the Unification Decree by Gen. J.T.U. Aguiyi-Ironsi’s administration and not Gowon.

Edited:

Ironsi introduced and passed the unification decree. it didn't work as he wanted. he suspended it and asked that the decree be modified.

Gowon reverted Nigeria back to the federation system. Later changed his mind because of the unrest in the old eastern region abolished the regional system. He played a fast one on all of us.

Ironsi and Gowon take the blame.

Ironsi - for conceiving the idea
Gowon - for enforcing it

Well Ironsi did pass the unification decree, but he never divided the 4 Regions. Had Gowon kept the 4 Regions as Ironsi did, we might still be practicing Regionalism today. Gowon embarked on a state creation exercise that eventually landed Nigeria with 36 states, most of which are not viable. I still think that had Gowon kept the the 4 Regions, whatever unification decree Ironsi passed would have eventually been removed whenever civil rule returned.

Well I don't believe in Regional government for now, because the current set of Jeunjeun leadersh in the SW, Tinubu and co.

If you give them regional government, this people will turn the SW into their ATM without any achievement to show..

Ant and will ensure only Thier cronies get into power

We can see what they have done to the SW for 16 years.

What we need is Fiscal Federalism, were every state can function and develop at her own pace.

The problem is not Gowon's problem. What did Aguiyi Ironsi see that is wrong with Nigeria before passing the UNIFICATION code that is to establish a Unitary system of government ?

Every argument you make on this post should be deduced from here hencefort or you claim remain baseless and illogical because you simply can not persecute and executioner while you go silent on the originator of the evil called Unitary govt.

We all understand government is continuum, the interpretation Gowon gave to Ironsi evil Unitary system of govt does not absolve the evil Ironsi wished or brought upon the regions.

THE FACT WILL ALWAYS BE IRONSI TRUNCATED THE REGIONALISM EVERY LIVING SOUL IN NIGERIA KNOW IS THE BEST FORM OF GOVT FOR THE COUNTRY ONLY FOR HIS SELFISH DUBIOUS AND DEVILISH PLAN. The like of Gowon only tried making the best of the pathetic situation Aguiyi Ironsi plunged Nigeria.

Can't you think?

Regionalism led to a coup or maybe regionalism did not solve an inherent or hidden problem and the Nzeogwu coup happened.

The question is why did regionalism fail?
Why was there operation wetie in the West that caused anarchy and spoilt everything.
Why did Joseph Tarka form his party that was almost aligning with AG

You have to think about issues instead of being dogmatic or following the crowd who are shouting regionalism as if it was not something that had its failings.

Regionalism is now the very old thing that is suddenly looking attractive because of the lack of discipline and endurance to manage ourselves.

Nigeria has had three Constitutions after Gowon and non even considered GOING BACK to regionalism. So we must conclude that the thousands of people who were involved in those Constitutions were foolish or dishonest

The truth is that even within the regions, there were distinct nationalities. Please get an education , Nigeria is not just Ibo , Yoruba, Hausa and Kanuri.

Almost everybody canvassing for regionalism in Nigeria now is an out and out TRIBALIST.

Only they forget that Nigeria is more complex than just three regions dominated by three major tribes.

Operation Wetie for instance was partially about tendencies coming from the Yoruba Kiriji wars.

The Oyo's on Akintola's side were tending towards the north . Ijebus, Ifes, Ijeshas and Akure/ Ondo were for Awo. It was hidden under all the politicking.

So we come to the truth that there is no real Yoruba tribe.

To just think on the surface and open your mouth and say Nigeria should be just three regions for three major tribes and everybody lives happy ever after is very STUPID and childish.

Look at Southern Kaduna, is that an Islamic Hausa-Fulani nation ?

Please get serious.

Nigeria's restructuring should be centered on individual liberties. Get your mind off the politicians you love and want to see return to power when you are thinking of restructuring.
Think of happiness, fulfilment for yourself and your children.

Democracy only offers the best of available options n in Nigeria or Africa at large no black man or woman is willing to offer anything close to paradise.

I do believe a time will come that Africa will have charismatic leaders such as Mandela, Lee Kuan Yew n so on instead of the stream of incompetent morons we have governong us ATM but untill then we can only hope while some pray.

Regionalism I believe it's still beta than any form of government we have tried in Nigeria. No system of GOVT is perfect, society work to perfect a sustainable system for itself. This I believe is why the likes of the USA is look up to as a democratic country instead of the Greece where it originated from.

The same reason China can claim it made a more purposeful success of communism compared to Russia where the idea originated.

catal:

For me regionalism with naija home made tweaks. The state we have presently has no identity of their own and can not develop at a cordinated pace. The region does, each region also have the wealth n population to sustain itself. South Africa has many states but just 9 province which allows for unity of purpose, competitiveness and each province is able to develop at its pace.

The reason why regionalism failed is because Nigeria does not work as nation. Our colonial masters Britain have been practicing regionalism for over 200 years and it is working well for them.

The reason why it worked is that the Scotts, Welsh, English and Irish have had the squabbles and go well together.

In Nigeria, the major ethnic groups such as Igbo, Hausa and Igbo do not see eye to eye.

Yes there were coups when Nigeria practiced Regionalism but there were even more coups when Nigeria was no longer practicing Regionalism and far more corruption.

I never said anything about Nigeria having just 3 Regions representing 3 ethnic groups. The way Nigeria is right now, there is no reason we cant have as much as 6 Regions with a very weak center. Every Regions keeps the majority of resources accruing in their Region and pays a smaller percentage to the federal Govt. This way, nobody feels cheated.

This unitary system we are practicing in which 36 states, most of which can no longer pay salaries and are not viable is nonsense. It is also quite embarrasing that in a country like Nigeria with over 250 ethnic groups and 180 million people, one man will be president, head of Government and Commander in Chief of the Armed forces. This is very bad. We shoud have primeminister who is head of Government, a ceremonial president who is head of parliament and commander in chief. We have concentrated so much powers in Abuja.

Unitary system has been bad for Nigeria abd it is time to go back to Regionalism
