DunceNLMods: Phasal restructuring will require patience from the led and truthful commitment from the leaders - it could be tried, though. The state police thing will only work in states that don't depend on the FG to feed. How will states that owe workers months of salaries, sustain an effective police force? Abi they'll allow officers hawk gala and yoghurt while on duty? Community vigilantes still looks a better option, abi na? |

I support the crucification of Afam4eva the OP because of his past deeds but his statement here shouldn't been thrown away like that. What we need is dissolution not restructuring. 2 Likes |

My goodness the shamelessness of these people is simply appalling. Right now, restructuring is impossible because you need the majority of northern parliamentary votes to vote in it's favour; and that is never gonna happen. The only option on the table is for Biafrans to be granted their dreamland, and Arewa has kickstarted it by ordering all Ibos in the North to leave. If you want Biafra then have the balls to LEAVE for the SE, instead of pathetically listing what the North 'would miss" and hiding under the umbrella of the same "south" that your lord and master NK has been spewing hatred upon. 4 Likes 1 Share

CarlosTheJackal:You cannot divide the country, stop dreaming. The more achievable target is restructuring. If half of the energies used to shout secession all over the place had been used to call for restructuring, if just a fraction of that energy was used to gather necessary stakeholders across interested zones to call for restructuring with one voice, it would have been achieved long ago. Once again, stop dreaming, splitting a country isn't child's play. 1 Like |
Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by obailala(m): 1:02pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
NairalandHowTo:If there is anything which is true, it is the fact that all the zones in the south want restructuring. Only reason it hasn't been achieved is because the calls for restructuring have never been done with one voice or in unity. 2010 - 2015, the SE political block had a swell time under GEJ, hence the SE was quiet on restructuring while the SS and SW kept calling for it. TOday the tables have turned around, as soon as Buhari won elections, SE began shouting restructuring and outright secession while the SW has reduced its voice. Putting aside the needless hypocrisy and selfishness, there has never been a better time for the southern zones to unite and restructure the country than now. 1 Like |

There's notin to restructure in a worn out cloth such as Nigeria. Dissolution is the key. |
Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by kingzizzy: 1:48pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
obailala: Face reality. For Nigeria to be restructured, there has to be constitutional change. The constitution can only be changed or ammended at the national assembly. With the core North controling over 50% of the votes at the national assembly, how are you going to get the 67% needed to get restructuring? Or you think the North are going to lend their votes to something that will weaken them politically and economically and politically such as restructuring? That is why anyone who wants restructuring has to leave the control of the North. If you want 'one Nigeria', forget restructuring |
Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by obailala(m): 2:00pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
kingzizzy:The mistake you always make is lumping the entire north central together in your map of the north. The middle-belt may fall in the north geopolitically; but socially, they are sick and tired of being lumped together with the north and are certainly sick of the domination of the core north. |

obailala: Even if the North central embraces restructuring, it will still not give the South enough votes to pass a bill on restructuring. Just the core North controls at least 50% of the votes. How will anyone convince any of them to support restructuring? They have nothing to gain and everything to lose by restructuring. As long as there is one drop of Oil in Southern Nigeria, the core North will not allow any form of restructuring and they have the voting bloc to ensure that. |
Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by obailala(m): 3:30pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
kingzizzy:I repeat it once again, the only making restructuring impossible is that foolishness and selfishness which has ensured the southern zones can never call for it with one voice. Just take a look at this thread and many others, the day the man in Abuja favours SW, they go dumb and the day the powers in Abuja favours the SE, they go dumb on restructuring. I repeat it that the day the southern zones call for a restructure, and clamour for it 'seriously' with a single voice, that is the day the hegemony of the core north will be destroyed. By the way the core north doesn't control any 50% of any votes. Stop churning out these imaginary figures which have been used to deceive/discourage people for decades. Core North (i.e. NE & NW) = 140 Reps; 39 Senators Southern Zones (SE+SS+SW) = 169 Reps; 51 Senators North-Central/Middle Belt = 51 Reps; 19 Senators Like I said earlier, if and only if the southern zones are ready to be serious with restructuring by speaking with one voice, more than half of the North Central is ready to align with the south. I highlighted Benue, Kwara, Kogi and Plateau states; these middle-belt states would be more than happy to free themselves from Hausa-Fulani domination. So stop giving me that overused 50% imaginary statistics..

Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by kingzizzy: 4:17pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
obailala: Ok, take the NC out of the equation. Core North (NW+NE)= 140 Reps which is rougly 40% of the house of representatives. SW/SE/SW/NC =60% so even if the entire South and the NC voted for restructuring, they still would not get the 67% needed to pass the bill on restructuring. What it means is that that the 7% has to be found in the core North. Unless some of them agree, restructuring will not be possible. Now how will 7% of the core North be convinced to vote for restructuring that will mean not only loss of political control, but also the end of 'oil money'. |

KratosCorp:Restructuring is a far more practical, achievable and meaningful solution to the social problems we have. Splitting the country even at a time when other great countries are looking for ways to merge is totally a misplaced ill-thought ambition (which may never even be achievable). |
Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by KratosCorp: 5:06pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
Restructuring will.not change anything. You guys should stop lying to yourselves. There is nothing happening now as per "social problems" that was not there during the era of regionalism. So forget your eldorado of restructuring. If you like restructure the country a billion times, it will not change anything. - You cannot buy patriotism with restructuring. - You cannot impose true patriotism on anyone. - And without patriotism you will keep getting eroded by the same "social problems" forever. - Nationalism is key to patriotism. And a founding sage said that Nigeria is not a nation but a mere geographic expression. So what are you restructuring? So just allow every constituent to determine their national identity and build their PREFERED nation patriotically. Enough of that 100 year old nonsense. And NO, the peoples of the world are becoming more nationalistic, not the other way round. obailala: |
Re: Nigeria, The Farce And Hypocrisy Of Unity by obailala(m): 6:32pm On Jun 09, 2017 |
KratosCorp:Every issue you stand to solve by splitting the country into 5 or more mushroom nations, those issues can be solved by regional autononous leadership. You talk of nationalism and an automatic sense of patriotism being possible only when a new nation is formed; do you mean to tell me an Igbo corrupt Nigerian police officer for instance would suddenly/miraculously switch to 'patriotic saint mode' when he starts bearing Biafra Police Force insignia on his shoulders?... Do you mean to tell me you believe that policeman's problem is just the name of his country?... or probably he disregards patriotism today because he lives in a tribally non-homogenous society? |
